Chapter 177: Chapter 177: [Extra] Brother Yi is Actually the School Hunk

In the following days, Jiang Yurou visited Zhou Ming’s shop every single day, having thought that his attitude toward her would change after that night, yet to her surprise, there was no change at all after the second day.

Jiang Yurou didn’t rush things anymore, convinced that as long as she put in the effort, one day he would feel her sincerity and be moved.

One day, Jiang Yurou’s phone suddenly broke, and watching Zhou Ming focused on fixing it for her, a little idea suddenly sprang to mind...

After this incident, Jiang Yurou often came to Zhou Ming with her broken phone because she found that using this as a reason to visit him not only allowed him to earn money but also allowed her to stay in his shop legitimately.

However, Zhou Ming soon saw through her little scheme and didn’t chase her away anymore; it seemed he had genuinely compromised...

Lately, Jiang Yurou called Xinan to tell her that she had someone she liked but Xinan brought up Tan Bo.

It was also at this time that Jiang Yurou suddenly realized that she hadn’t seen Tan Bo for quite a while.

That night when Jiang Yurou returned home, she found that Tan Bo had already moved out of her house. At the time, she didn’t pay much attention, assuming he had gone back to the company to work.

Only now did Jiang Yurou realize that something was off about Tan Bo; he used to let her know in advance whenever he left unexpectedly, but this time he left without saying a word, quietly disappearing.

That night, when Jiang Yurou went back, she made a phone call to Tan Bo, but the phone rang for a long time without an answer.

The Tan Bo of the past would even answer her calls during meetings; what was going on today?

Could something have held him up?

Just when Jiang Yurou was starting to feel a little worried, Tan Bo’s call finally came back.

The moment she answered, she heard the noisy music and the hustle and bustle of the crowd, which involuntarily made her frown.

"Hello! Tan Bo? Where are you now? Why did it take you so long to answer my call?" she asked.

"I’m hanging out with a few friends at the bar. It’s a bit noisy here, so I didn’t hear the phone ringing," came Tan Bo’s indolent voice.

Jiang Yurou heard the sound of a lighter being pressed, and his tone was still somewhat cavalier, "What made you think of calling me? These past few days, I thought you were so busy with that guy that you had forgotten about me."

Jiang Yurou was startled and asked, "Tan Xiaobo... you wouldn’t be jealous of Zhou Ming, would you?"

Tan Bo chuckled coldly, "I’m jealous of him?"

"Yeah, otherwise why have you been acting so out of character these days? And before, you even forbade me from seeing him."

Tan Bo continued to coldly chuckle, without responding to her.

Jiang Yurou then said, "Tan Xiaobo, rest assured, even if I end up with Zhou Ming, your place in my heart won’t change. You’ll always be my best ’iron buddy.’"

Sometimes Tan Bo truly wished Jiang Yurou would come to her senses. Hearing these words from her, he was unsure whether to feel happy or sad.

All of a sudden, there was silence on the other end of the line, and after waiting for a while, Jiang Yurou called out again, "Hey, Tan Xiaobo, are you listening to what I’m saying?"

Just at that moment, a soft and coquettish female voice suddenly came through the phone, "Mr. Tan, let me pour you a drink."

Even though Tan Bo often bragged to Jiang Yurou about how the women chasing him could go around Jing City twice, this was the first time she had heard another woman speak to him in such a flirtatiously coy voice.

She couldn’t help frowning, wanting to interrupt, but also curious about who this woman was.

Jiang Yurou listened very carefully to the subsequent conversation between Tan Bo and the woman. Basically, the woman wanted to pour Tan Bo a drink, and when he ignored her, she tried to find another topic, only to be coldly rejected by Tan Bo.

After a moment, Tan Bo’s voice finally came from the other end of the phone, "What did you just say?"

Jiang Yurou snapped back to reality, the corner of her mouth curving up, and she imitated the woman’s voice from before, "Mr. Tan, let me pour you a drink."

"What’s that?"

"Mr. Tan, let me pour you a drink," Jiang Yurou said again.

This time she imitated the woman from earlier, speaking very charmingly, but to Tan Bo it seemed extremely awkward.

"Jiang Yurou, is there something wrong with your brain?" he bluntly said.

"Doesn’t Mr. Tan like it?" Jiang Yurou was still immersed in her own performance.

Tan Bo said with a headache, "Just speak normally."

"Okay, Mr. Tan."

Tan Bo: "..."

Lowering her voice, Jiang Yurou tried hard to sound soft and delicate, "Mr. Tan, who was that woman just now?"

Hearing this voice, Tan Bo only felt goosebumps all over his body, very uncomfortable with this version of Jiang Yurou: "Make your voice sound normal."

Jiang Yurou cleared her throat, returning to her usual voice, "Who was that woman just now?"

"I don’t know."

Indeed, Tan Bo didn’t know that woman; she must have been from another table, and he hadn’t paid any attention.

"Oh, I see. I didn’t expect you to be quite popular with the ladies," she remarked.

"Of course, after all, your Brother Tan was once the school’s heartthrob," Tan Bo boasted narcissistically.

With a snort of laughter, Jiang Yurou said, "Heartthrob? I seem to recall Brother Yi being the heartthrob, though."

"Ahem... ahem..." Tan Bo coughed awkwardly a few times, then said, "Can’t there be two heartthrobs, huh?"

"But the difference in looks between these two heartthrobs is too great..." Jiang Yurou said this deliberately to annoy Tan Bo; though his looks were indeed a bit inferior to Cheng Yi’s, they were still more than enough for a school heartthrob.

Her words irked Tan Bo, and with widened eyes he asked, "You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you, Jiang Yurou?"

Jiang Yurou laughed and said, "You’re quite smart, to have guessed that."

Grinding his teeth, Tan Bo uttered word by word, "Jiang Yurou, you’d better not sleep too deeply tonight."

"What’s up, are you planning to murder me?"

"You’re quite smart too."

Jiang Yurou: "..."

Afterward, the two of them started bickering again, neither willing to give in to the other, but in the end, it was Tan Bo who retreated first, sending Jiang Yurou a red envelope of five thousand yuan to quell the dispute.

No sooner had the red envelope been sent than the other party clicked to collect within two seconds.

Tan Bo was speechless, and sent a message directly.

[Brother Bo]: Normally when I send you messages, you don’t respond this quickly, yet you’re pretty fast when it comes to collecting red envelopes.

[Running Rabbit on the Beach]: Hahaha, thank you for the red envelope, Tan Xiaobo.

[Brother Bo]: It’s Brother Bo, okay?

[Running Rabbit on the Beach]: Okay, Mr. Tan.

[Brother Bo]: Would I die if you just went with the flow, Jiang Yurou?

[Running Rabbit on the Beach]: That’s your problem.

Looking at this message, Tan Bo laughed out of irritation and chose not to reply to her anymore. He’d wait until after these busy days to go and properly discuss "logic" with her.
