Chapter 1257 Carnivores
Chapter 1257 Carnivores
From the beginning to now, Zhuang Shiyuan has been struggling with what identity he should use to face Mu Xiaonv.
The saying goes, "A man of few words worries himself," and Zhuang Shiyuan is probably a typical example of this in his relationship. To put it bluntly, it's just a lack of self-confidence. If he wanted to be confident, would he be so hesitant and overthinking these things?
If he has money, he is afraid that his girlfriend will be after his money. If he has no money, he is afraid that his girlfriend will run away with some other bastard. If this guy stays in such an insecure relationship for a long time, how can he not become a psychopath?
"Well, a little bit, I don't have to worry about food and clothing." Zhuang Shiyuan thought for a moment and responded seriously.
Mu Xiaoniu thought about the concept of not having to worry about food and clothing. In their era, people still had to worry about food and clothing, so...
Therefore, Zhuang Shiyuan's words still could not give Mu Xiaonuer a clear idea.
Mu Xiaonv'er: "You have servants at home. Do you live in a villa?"
Zhuang Shiyuan scratched his head. "Yeah... but that was after my dad made some money. He borrowed some from the bank and built it himself, you know? It's different from the villas of the super-rich. In towns and villages these days, those small villas are really beautiful. Ours is just average, shabby and worse than the houses in the countryside these days."
"Oh……"
After a rough calculation, it’s actually not that bad.
But then she thought, is this guy lying to her? Can an average family afford to hire so many servants?
There is no doubt that Mu Xiaonv mistook the staff of the funeral home for the banker's servants. However, even if it was a misunderstanding, it was not a big deal. The total number of temporary and permanent servants of the banker might be more than this person.
Mu was skeptical of Zhuang Shiyuan's words. He said she would just listen, because he had no plans to continue with him. The puppy love issue was over, and he was the one who said "this is over". She was single now and wanted to find someone she liked.
Of course, for a student like her who is applying for a national student loan, it is better for her to study seriously and leave love life for later.
Zhuang Shiyuan closed the door and pushed Mu Ning onto the sofa, holding her down and preventing her from getting up.
"Ning'er, how about we have a good talk?"
"There's nothing to talk about. When will the food be delivered?" Mu Ning looked at him with her charming eyes and said with her stomach growling.
Zhuang Shiyuan looked at her fresh face, stood up straight, and called someone outside. Before the call was connected, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Chicken wings, pig's trotters, grilled fish..."
A real carnivore, Zhuang Shiyuan glanced at her. After all, he hadn't eaten for a day and a night. The things she ordered, well, he was sick of them just by hearing about them.
"Anything else?" Zhuang Shiyuan asked.
Mu Ning shook her head cheerfully, "No more, but two servings of pig's trotters would be fine. If I can't finish them, I can give them to you as a midnight snack. You've been kneeling all night anyway."
“…”Zhuang Shiyuan was petrified at that moment.
Is he made of iron? Why would he kneel all night?
By the way, why didn't this little bastard show any sympathy for him? Zhuang Shiyuan felt suffocated in his heart and wanted to express his displeasure. With their relationship, some of his requests were acceptable, but she insisted on believing that they had broken up, which made everything Zhuang Shiyuan did to her unjustifiable.
"Can you eat it?" Zhuang Shiyuan sighed helplessly and asked casually. He didn't want to hear her answer. He turned around and told the person on the phone that in addition to what Mu Ning said, he added a bowl of porridge. He really couldn't hang out with her.
Mu Ning thought Zhuang Shiyuan was actually a pretty good guy. At least he wasn't stingy about treating her to a meal. She'd heard from her roommates that when they went out to eat with their boyfriends, the woman had to pay, and if she wanted to buy something, her boyfriend would immediately disappear. When they went into a boutique, the man would pretend to answer the phone and then just walk away.
That girl didn't even ask her boyfriend to spend money, so her stinginess was truly unacceptable. It was said that when they went shopping, they only went shopping, never going into clothing stores, shoe stores, or snack bars. They argued several times before finally agreeing to go to the movies. Overhearing the others gossiping about her boyfriend, the whole dorm was swarming around that stingy boy.
But the fact is, we are all students and don’t have the financial ability yet. We spend our parents’ money. Apart from our own living expenses, how can we have much money to give to others?
So, in comparison, Li Cheng and Zhuang Shiyuan were quite generous. Zhuang Shiyuan was a bit less generous than Li Cheng. Zhuang Shiyuan was only generous to Mu Ning. In all the time since school started, had he ever appeared in front of Mu Ning's roommates? They hadn't even met, let alone treated them to a meal. But Li Cheng was different. The social gathering between the two dorms was initiated by Li Cheng for Mu Ning, and for her, he bribed everyone in Mu Ning's dorm. Treating them to meals, giving them cosmetics, and the like were common occurrences.
As for Zhuang Shiyuan, he can be said to be stingy, but it depends on how he is generous.
After Zhuang Shiyuan ordered food for Mu Xiaonv, Mu Xiaonv was in a good mood while waiting for the meal, and she had a pleasant chat with Master Zhuang.
"Mu Ning, first of all, I want to say that what I said on the night of the graduation ceremony was just an angry remark and it doesn't count. We haven't broken up and we are still a couple!" Zhuang Shiyuan sat in front of Mu Ning and said seriously.
Mu Ning sat obediently. For the sake of Zhu'er, she would listen to what he said.
Zhuang Shiyuan waited for Mu Xiaoniu'er's response, but she sat there motionless. When he looked at her, she just smiled at him and said nothing.
Zhuang Shiyuan was helpless, "Do you really not want to be with me?"
Still silent, Zhuang Shiyuan grew anxious and irritated. He reached for his pockets, but they were empty. He made a phone call, "Send me a pack of cigarettes!"
Mu Ning's eyes widened and she looked straight at Zhuang Shiyuan. Soon she heard a knock on the door and someone outside brought in cigarettes.
Zhuang Shiyuan took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and exhaled a thick smoke. He tapped the cigarette butt on the ashtray. Then, through the hazy smoke, he looked at Mu Xiaonv'er.
"Can you tell me the reason? Why don't you want to be with me anymore?" Zhuang Shiyuan asked again in a hoarse voice.
Mu Ning looked at Zhuang Shiyuan, "Why do you smoke? Smoking is bad for your health. I hate men who smoke. My father often drinks and smokes. The house is full of pungent smells. When he is drunk, he beats my mother, and when he is sober, he smokes. I hate people who smoke, and I hate people who smoke in front of me even more!"
Mu Ning's words were unusually cold, and the look she gave Zhuang Shiyuan had never been so serious before. Undoubtedly, something had left a deep shadow in her heart.
Zhuang Shiyuan stood stiffly, staring at Mu Ning through the smoke. After pausing for a moment, he put out the cigarette in the ashtray.
"I'm sorry, I haven't heard you say that before." Zhuang Shiyuan looked guilty.
