Chapter 171 The Enthusiastic Convenience Store Aunt
“I’m telling you the truth, don’t let my current appearance fool you. Thirty years ago, I was the most beautiful girl in the village, and I had plenty of men pursuing me.”
"I have a lot of dating experience. Here's what we'll do: if you have any relationship problems in the next two months, feel free to come and ask me. I'll answer them for free."
"I won't be here in two months. I was doing just fine back in my hometown, but my daughter had something come up, so I came to help her with the shop. I never expected that I would come at such a perfect time! Today, I've run into you two, a handsome couple."
"Oh, this is so nice, so nice!"
Thank you, Auntie, but... what you said was really awkward, please mute yourself!
"Auntie, what time do the shops around here usually stay open?"
The first step to getting the auntie to mute is to quickly distract her!
Sure enough, after she asked that question, the aunt stopped talking about "dating" and "boyfriend/girlfriend" and replied to Lu Yining normally: "We usually close at 11 o'clock, go back, take a shower, and go to bed."
After a pause, the auntie's lips curled into a mischievous smile: "So, if you two have any relationship problems, you can come and ask me before 11 o'clock~"
"That's right, we open at 10:30 in the morning. We're usually pretty quiet, so don't worry about bothering me. You can come and find me anytime during my opening hours."
[Okay, I knew something was off when you laughed just now, but... you keep circling back to this topic... Fine, fine, I'm leaving now!]
Lu Yining's lips moved slightly, as if she was about to speak. But before she could utter a sound, she heard Ji Shiyan's voice, which was very sincere.
"Thank you, Auntie. If I have any questions, I'll come and ask you. I hope you won't find me annoying."
He kept his eyes straight ahead, not daring to look at Lu Yining, and just finished speaking based on instinct.
His hands would sometimes go behind his back, sometimes rise up, touching his nose and face—his many small gestures couldn't hide his nervousness.
After he said that, Lu Yining's face instantly burned as if it were on fire.
Although Ji Shiyan had confessed to her before, she wasn't sure about her own feelings at the time and didn't think too much about it, so she wasn't easily shy or nervous.
But things are different now...
After returning from his house that time, she carefully reflected on the experience and realized that she did indeed treat him differently.
She wasn't quite sure how much she liked him. If love was a 100, then her feelings for him might be 30 or 40.
Even...possibly more.
But... it could also be even less.
But no matter how many points it accounts for, it's still something I like and something that touches my heart. Now, when I hear these words again, my state of mind is different, and I inevitably overthink it.
She gritted her teeth inwardly; this person really tells everyone everything...
The aunt, however, covered her mouth and laughed again, then waved her hand to her lips with great enthusiasm.
"Of course we wouldn't look down on you two. You're such a handsome guy and a beautiful girl, so pleasing to the eye and such nice people. You look like a perfect match, how could we possibly look down on you?"
Ji Shiyan's face was beaming with a bright smile. He winked at the aunt and said politely, "Then thank you in advance~"
Lu Yining: "..."
When will you guys stop?!
She glared at Ji Shiyan before saying to the convenience store clerk, "Auntie, please pay first."
"Oh dear, I forgot." The convenience store auntie gently patted her forehead before starting to pay for Lu Yining and the others.
Just after paying, Lu Yining saw the convenience store clerk pull out two payment codes from the bottom shelf, one for Taobao and one for WeChat…
So... why didn't you take it out just now?
Ji Shiyan had the same question. Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble if the two payment codes were placed on the table? Or... did Auntie just like to have something to do?
Do you enjoy moving your fingers around?
Of course, aside from a slight doubt in their hearts, neither of them asked any further questions. The convenience store auntie, however, suddenly burst into laughter and started talking to herself.
"I had completely forgotten about these two payment codes. My daughter just told me about them yesterday, but I forgot about them today. I only just remembered them now."
After the convenience store auntie finished speaking, she happened to meet Lu Yining's eyes, and the two of them smiled knowingly.
Lu Yining: "Then we'll be going now, Auntie, goodbye."
[Get out of here quickly, get out of here quickly...]
"Hey, goodbye." The convenience store auntie's voice was loud and clear: "Remember if you have any relationship problems, come and find me, I'll answer them for free~ Don't be embarrassed, Auntie won't laugh at you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yining quickened her pace, almost as if she were fleeing in panic.
Ji Shiyan, however, while being pulled away by Lu Yining, still had the leisure to turn around and say to the convenience store auntie, "Auntie, I will. If I have the chance, I will definitely come to find you!"
Lu Yining: "..."
[Stop talking, stop talking, please stop! Just shut up!]
Convenience store clerk: "Okay, okay, okay, welcome, welcome!"
Lu Yining tugged at Ji Shiyan's clothes and walked faster and faster, almost running.
Once they were a distance away, Lu Yining glared at Ji Shiyan, annoyed. "What nonsense were you spouting just now? You just blurted out whatever came to mind. Seriously."
Upon hearing this, Ji Shiyan blinked innocently: "I was just saying what I wanted to say, and besides..."
He glanced at Lu Yining's hands and said, "You seem to have forgotten something."
【what? 】
Lu Yining looked puzzled, then looked down at her own hands. After a moment, she quickly looked up: "!!!"
Damn it! I forgot those two bottles of water!
Going back was out of the question; she didn't want to hear that aunt's words again. However… she could let the man in front of her go back, since he wasn't afraid of awkwardness…
Thinking of this, Lu Yining immediately ordered, "Then go back and get it."
That domineering little face made Ji Shiyan's heart flutter again. He smiled indulgently, "Okay~ I'll go back and get it~"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the convenience store, taking long strides and walking quickly. Lu Yining saw that his figure disappeared for only a short while before reappearing in front of her.
He appeared with two bottles of water in his hand.
