Gold Medal Sweetheart

"Because I helped him with a small favor before, he, as the boss, rewarded me, a small employee."

Tang Xin was afraid of having her mother chop off her head, so she naturally didn't dare to tell him about pretending to be in love with Jin Taize. She could only say the general idea vaguely.

"The boss still needs your help? And the reward is to give employees dogs?" Tang's mother gave Tang Xin a look that said, "You're trying to fool me, but you're too naive."

Tang Xin: ...

That’s right, this reason is really not very thoughtful.

"Jin Taize likes Zhigang..." Tang Xin stammered while biting her chopsticks.

Before Tang's mother could say anything, she was hit by Tang's father's hand hidden under the table. He then gave her a secret look, as if telling Tang's mother that her daughter was shy and she should stop asking too many questions.

"Anyway, I'm telling you, if you lose a son-in-law as good as Tai Ze, you'll regret it one day."

"Mom, if you really want Jin Taize to be your son-in-law, you can actually have a second child with my dad, and I can consider becoming his aunt."

Before she could finish her words, Tang Xin was hit on the head by the greasy chopsticks in Tang's mother's hand.

"Mom, I just washed my hair." Tang Xin protested, holding her head.

Tang's mother scolded her angrily, "You are so disrespectful and talk nonsense."

Then he glared fiercely at Tang's father, who was picking up Le'er nearby. "You're being disrespectful to your elders in front of your daughter, and you still have the nerve to laugh. I'm so pissed off by you two. Finish eating quickly, and one of you will wash the dishes and the other will mop the floor."

Sure enough, the good days of a loving mother and filial son will never last more than 24 hours.

During her time in Yunnan, Tang Xin lived a leisurely and happy life. Every day she would either sit on the swing in the yard and read a book, or wait until the weekend to go to the market with her parents.

In a blink of an eye, a week has passed.

During this period, Jin Taize had meals and drinks with a few brothers in his spare time.

Even Xu Xiao was surprised that Jin Taize, who was extremely difficult to make an appointment with before, had a skyrocketing attendance rate recently.

Shang Feifan reminded him, "You forgot that at the last hot pot banquet, Teacher Tang said he was going to Yunnan to visit his parents."

"Yeah, how could I forget? You're really attentive." Xu Xiao said, "That's why he used us to kill time."

Wei Qing picked up his wine glass and took a sip. "Taize has been participating in many activities recently, but why haven't I seen Yu Chen?"

Shang Feifan said, "He has something to do and said he will be a little late."

"He's very busy lately?" Jin Taize said lightly.

"Yes, I'm busy," Xu Xiao was interested when Meng Yuchen was mentioned, "but I'm just busy with my relationship."

"The kind of love that only happens in bed?" In view of his knowledge of Meng Yuchen's consistent bad behavior, Jin Taize gave a summary evaluation without giving him any face.

Several people laughed at the same time.

This time, Xu Xiao defended Meng Yuchen. "This guy probably saw how sweet you and Teacher Tang have been lately, and he's probably envious. He met a little internet celebrity a while ago, and I think he's a little different this time. Before, the shameless flames he'd sparked were only in bed, but this time he's been dating this little internet celebrity frequently."

This statement was undoubtedly a bombshell, and immediately caused an uproar among several people.

"Oh my god, this kid has actually changed his personality." Shang Feifan clicked his tongue in amazement.

Even Wei Qing couldn't believe it, "Is it true?"

Xu Xiao was naturally a little unhappy about being questioned by everyone. "When that little internet celebrity was live streaming, Meng Yuchen was always the top guy on their list. If you don't believe me, you can ask him when he comes later."

Speak of the devil and he will appear. As he was speaking, Meng Yuchen walked in from outside in two steps at a time.

"Sorry, I'm late. I'll drink three cups as a punishment." Before Meng Yuchen sat down, he apologized to several brothers.

Xu Xiao took over and looked around at the men, "I told them you had a girlfriend, but they didn't believe me."

Meng Yuchen immediately drank a can of beer to quench his thirst, and said unconvincedly, "What's there to disbelieve? Let me hear who is questioning my charm."

"I thought you were destined to have only fleeting romances, but I didn't expect you wanted to return to a simple life?" Xu Xiao teased Meng Yuchen.

Shang Feifan smiled mischievously, "A fleeting romance hurts the kidneys, but a simple and natural life drains the mind."

Meng Yuchen said with feeling, "There's nothing wrong with a fleeting romance. Girls generally don't have any expectations of you. The most they ask is whether you're compatible. Everyone gets what they need, and after daybreak, they each return to their own lives without disturbing each other."

"What about now?" Xu Xiao asked.

"It's all good now," Meng Yuchen touched his face, looking immersed in happiness, "but I've never gotten along well with women before."

As soon as he said this, several men acted as if they didn't want to listen anymore.

Meng Yuchen ignored the few people who scoffed at his words and continued to talk to himself, "I just don't understand, are girlfriends all these weird creatures who can't live without their boyfriends all the time?"

Xu Xiao held his chin in his hand as if thinking, "Probably."

"Women and men think differently. In a relationship, they should care more about a sense of belonging and security," said Wei Qing.

Shang Feifan added, "So women tend to seek more satisfaction for this need in their interpersonal relationships. In fact, women are more likely to establish stable social relationships in a small circle. Best friends probably arise out of this need."
