Chapter 116 Meeting with Cockroach Bro
After washing up, Jiang Zhouzhou started rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
The bed was covered with layers of clothes, each one seemingly nice, yet none quite satisfactory.
It was almost ten o'clock. She looked at herself in the mirror and then at the pile of clothes on the bed, feeling a moment of confusion.
It was just a normal meeting, but she seemed overly nervous.
Finally, she chose a ladylike white dress, her long hair casually tied up and hanging down to one side of her chest.
After applying light makeup, Jiang Zhouzhou took a car to the agreed-upon restaurant.
As the scenery outside the car window rushed past and they got closer to their destination, Jiang Zhouzhou's tense heart calmed down.
After arriving at the restaurant entrance, Jiang Zhouzhou got out of the car.
She took out her phone from her bag and sent a message to Cockroach Bro.
Jiang Zhouzhou: [I've arrived]
Cockroach Bro: [I just arrived too]
Cockroach Guy: [I see you. Don't move, I'm coming to find you.]
Jiang Zhouzhou froze on the spot when she saw Cockroach Bro's reply.
She stood there looking around, searching for Cockroach Bro, when she saw a short, chubby man walking towards her.
Jiang Zhouzhou's heart skipped a beat. Was he the cockroach guy?
The man appeared to be 160 cm tall and weighed 160 kg. Because of the hot weather, his black T-shirt was soaked with sweat, and the sticky fabric clung to his body.
As he approached, Jiang Zhouzhou could smell the faint odor of sweat emanating from him.
But thinking that the other party was Cockroach Bro, Jiang Zhouzhou had a faint smile on her face and did not show any abnormality.
She is not someone who judges people by their appearance; no matter what Cockroach Brother looks like, he is a benefactor to her.
The man walked up to Jiang Zhouzhou, his eyes narrowed to slits as he scrutinized her, his gaze blatant and greasy.
"Hey hey, hello beautiful! You look so bored standing here all alone, let's be friends!"
Jiang Zhouzhou was startled by his sudden action and took a step back in a panic.
There's a mistake, he... he's not Cockroach Bro!
"Sorry, I'm waiting for someone," Jiang Zhouzhou politely declined.
Unexpectedly, the man became relentless, saying coldly, "Stop pretending! You were smiling so seductively at me just now, weren't you just trying to seduce me..."
As he was speaking, the man suddenly fell silent.
A cold voice rang out behind Jiang Zhouzhou: "She means you should get lost. Can't you understand human language?"
Upon hearing the man's voice, Jiang Zhouzhou quickly turned around.
"Cockroach... cockroach..."
The sound was stuck in my throat, making it difficult to speak.
Looking at the tall, refined-looking man in front of him, he simply couldn't bring himself to call him "Cockroach Bro".
Short, fat men are typical bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong; they immediately become timid when they see a man who is taller and stronger than themselves.
He hunched his shoulders and left, only daring to mutter curses after he had gone quite a distance.
Now, only Jiang Zhouzhou and Yin Yue remain, and the atmosphere subtly becomes more delicate.
"Were you scared?" Yin Yue broke the silence first.
Jiang Zhouzhou sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "I thought he was you..."
Yin Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "So that's how you see me."
Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood something, Jiang Zhouzhou quickly explained, "No, I just saw him walking towards me and I thought it was you."
Who would have thought that a misunderstanding would lead to almost being harassed!
When Yin Yue saw that her eyes were red from being frightened, his heart softened immediately.
"It's my fault. If I had arrived a few minutes earlier, this wouldn't have happened to you."
Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head, blushing, and said, "It has nothing to do with cockroaches... Nobody expected to encounter someone like that. Besides, you showed up just in time and chased him away!"
Those eyes brightened again at that moment, and the expression was so vivid and lively.
Looking at the real her...
She was so close...
Yin Yue lowered his eyes, concealing his thoughts.
"My name is Yin Yue."
Noticing that she was embarrassed to call him "Cockroach Bro," he offered his own name.
Jiang Zhouzhou raised the corners of her lips and softly called out, "I know! Brother Yin Yue."
A simple greeting completely erased the awkwardness between the two.
Yin Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "You must be hungry! I'll take you to eat something delicious."
His hand unconsciously grasped Jiang Zhouzhou's hand; his palm was warm and cool, with a thin layer of calluses.
Jiang Zhouzhou's fingertips trembled slightly, but she didn't pull away in the end, letting him hold her hand.
She had seen online that people in Hong Kong usually hold hands while walking...
It's likely that the cockroach guy just had a habit and didn't have any ulterior motives.
The two entered the restaurant one after the other. Since they had made a reservation in advance, a waiter led the way.
Jiang Zhouzhou followed obediently behind, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally falling on Yin Yue's back.
He's so tall! He must be as tall as Gu Nanfeng, but his back is wider. Feeling the calluses on his palms, Jiang Zhouzhou guessed that he must work out regularly.
His appearance wasn't as refined as Gu Nanfeng's, nor as sharp as Zhou Xian's; it was the kind of face that was pleasing to the eye at first glance. Furthermore, the silver-black half-rimmed glasses perched on his nose added a touch of refinement to his already gentle demeanor.
Jiang Zhouzhou's gaze then shifted to his hands, where several strands of agarwood beads were wrapped around his wrist, their patterns clear and their colors bright.
Even though Jiang Zhouzhou doesn't understand agarwood, she has heard that "an ounce of agarwood is worth ten thousand ounces of gold."
Arriving at the reserved location, Yin Yuesong finally opened Jiang Zhouzhou's hand.
He sat opposite Jiang Zhouzhou and handed her the menu first.
Jiang Zhouzhou waved her hand and said seriously, "Brother Yin Yue is a guest, you should order first."
Yin Yue chuckled: "But I want to try what you like to eat."
Since he had already said that, Jiang Zhouzhou asked if there were any dietary restrictions before ordering several of the restaurant's specialties.
After the waiter left, Yin Yue picked up a delicately crafted bag and handed it to Jiang Zhouzhou.
"A gift for you."
Jiang Zhouzhou was slightly taken aback, completely unaware that Yin Yue had prepared a gift.
I want to refuse, but if I do, it will definitely hurt the other person's feelings.
When someone carefully prepares a gift for you, they want to please you, not be disappointed by your rejection.
Jiang Zhouzhou accepted the gift with both hands, her face beaming with joy, and said, "Thank you, Brother Yin Yue."
Yin Yue smiled at her and said, "Open it and see if you like it."
Jiang Zhouzhou nodded and carefully opened the bag. Inside was a wooden box with exquisite carvings.
Jiang Zhouzhou's eyes lit up when she took the box out and opened it, and saw what was inside.
It's a jade bracelet.
The jade bracelet is completely transparent, without a single impurity inside. It is as clear and clean as an ice sculpture, and also has the unique lustrous texture of jade.
Just one glance is enough to tell that it is very valuable.
