YM778.TV Chapter 175: Trusty and Reliable
No wonder he spent so much on gifts, it’s the boyfriend’s job to support and give gifts to their girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Li Xiaoru, wondering what kind of gift she likes.
Tao Zhiyao looked at Ye Zhan again and thought of his reckless actions of buying gifts, the dude must be rich.
She asked with intentions, “Then are you living near Man Man?”
The riches all have certain circles, everybody lives together. Knowing where Yu Zhan lives could reassure Tao Zhiyao.
Yu Zhan knew Tao Zhiyao’s intentions, but he didn’t hide anything, “I live in Xi Gong.”
Xi Gong was the compound name of You Zhan’s house, this was a fairly new compound, it only opened 2 years ago and the only people living there are new money.
Old money families like Tao Zhiyao’s would never live there, they think that it would downgrade their reputation.
Tao Zhiyao pondered, was she thinking too much?
Maybe this You Zhan coincidentally also has the last name Yu and also coincidentally rich. So she stopped guessing and happily ate with the rest of the group.
Before getting the chopsticks, Tao Zhiyao’s knees were sore from kneeling, so she switched to crossing her legs, it felt more natural anyway.
The five engaged in casual conversation to know each other better. Everyone applauded Liu Man for her Hanfu video that Tao Zhiyao filmed for her.
Li Xiaoru thought, “Maybe in the future, you don’t have to use “Happy Guo Guo”’s name to film videos, you could also film some other stuff and let Man Man send it on her TikTok.” She didn’t want “Happy Guo Guo” to take any advantage of Liu Man.
Tao Zhiyao nodded, “The day I saw you and Man Man’s performance, I had an idea. You could be in two different scenery, one playing the Gu Qin and the other playing the piano. With two completely different styles of music, we’ll film a music video. Nowadays, the mashup of Asia and European music is super popular, it would have a strong visual impact and I’m certain that it would go viral.”
“Good idea,” Jiang Chengfeng agreed, though he had another reason to agree. He thought Li Xiaoru’s talent shouldn’t be overlooked by Liu Man’s beauty. Li Xiaoru could also be like Liu Man and use her elegant piano to be recognized by more people.
“You are now in the graduation season, Man Man, Xiaoru, and Chengfeng are all about to enter the final preparation period, can you guys really spare so much time?”
Yu Zhan’s cold truth woke everyone, though he had a ‘selfish’ reason, he didn’t want Liu Man to be too tired.
TL Note: Such a sweet boyfriend. Liu Man is the constant reminder that our whole translation team is forever single-
Liu Man took in Tao Zhiyao’s advice, but Yu Zhan was speaking the truth. Filming a music video like Tao Zhiyao said would definitely take more time than filming a simple video of “Shi Senpai”.
She suddenly thought of Lu Lingling’s advice, “I think we could take some pictures first and send it to Weibo for anticipation, when summer break comes, we could use than anticipation and make the videos.”
Tao Zhiyao’s face lit up, “Man Man, your ideas are awesome!”
“It’s not my idea, it’s advice from a girl, she said many cyber stars nowadays started from pictures.”
The five ate and talked, it was very pleasant. Tao Zhiyao called for 2 bottles of beer and poured everyone a small cup. Now this was a drink Liu Man was willing to accept. It was her first time drinking beer,
Unknowingly, everyone was already full.
Li Xiaoru suddenly realized, Liu Man stayed in the same kneeling position, both knees tightly together, lower legs on the ground, placing her hips on the lower legs and heels.
Isn’t she tired?
Tao Zhiyao had already sat on the side, Yu Zhan moved his knees up and down to relieve fatigue, and reached his limit, almost unable to hold on.
But Liu Man, like a figure in an ancient mural, remained motionless, yet still had a graceful posture. Using chopsticks and holding the bowl created no sense of disharmony, as if she should naturally be sitting and eating like this.
How did she get this skill?
Li Xiaoru was truly impressed.
Li Xiaoru was not the only one who noticed this problem. Yu Zhan and Tao Zhiyao were also puzzled. Their family education had very strict rules on etiquette, standing and sitting, and their parents and elders would always tell them from childhood to adulthood.
That was exactly why they thought it was incredible how Liu Man could sit in an elegant posture, kneeling to the last moment of the dinner. Because they have no way to hold on!
The strange feeling in Yu Zhan’s heart came up again, this feeling Song Junzhe also mentioned to him, is Liu Man really a child of an ordinary family? Why is her temperament so much like a daughter from a noble family?
Coming out from the Japanese restaurant, Tao Zhiyao volunteered to drive Jiang Chengfeng and Li Xiaoru back to school, it was alright since she had to return to JingHua college which was along the way.
Liu Man and Yu Zhan rode their car home after saying goodbye to the group.
In the car, she asked Yu Zhan, “What are your thoughts on Jiang Chengfeng?”
“He’s pretty reliable,” Yu Zhan nodded in approval, he’s supporting Jiang Chengfeng through the lens of a man. During the whole meal, Jiang Chengfeng’s attention was focused on Li Xiaoru. If she didn’t have water, he’d pour some immediately, if she dropped her spoon, he’d pick it up, if she needed a napkin, he would immediately hand her one, almost wanting to wipe it off for her.
His efforts could also be towards two other girls, but his love was not tempted by the beauty of Liu Man and the riches of Tao Zhiyao.
In the end when they went to pay, if Yu Zhan didn’t stop Jiang Chengfeng, he would’ve paid for all the fee himself. Jiang Chengfeng clearly knew that Yu Zhan, Tao Zhiyao and even Liu Man were all richer than him, but he wasn’t ashamed of it and never took advantage of their money.
“He truly likes Li Xiaoru,” Yu Zhan said.
“Two soon-to-be love birds, so simple, yet so cute,” Liu Man was truly happy for Li Xiaoru, she wishes Li Xiaoru to find her own happiness.
Yu Zhan, who was driving the car laughed softly, “Aren’t we as well?”
Liu Man felt as if she was being flirted to again!
