Chapter 121: Chapter 0121: Definitely Playing Hard to Get

"Oh, thanks a lot, Landlord,"

Wei’er’s mom gratefully responded, her hands holding cash, but if she paid the rent first, it would mean she couldn’t afford Wei’er dad’s medical treatment for now. So if the landlord wasn’t in a hurry, she could use the money to buy medicine for Xia Wenjun first.

"By the way, I heard that the weight loss popsicles you sell here are quite good. Let me try one."

The landlord whispered.

Wei’er’s mom had an epiphany, realizing that after all this time, the landlord was being so polite because she was here for the weight loss popsicles, but indeed, there were none available today.

"Landlord, they were all sold out yesterday, and I haven’t made any more today. How about you come back later, and I’ll save one for you?"

Wei’er’s mom said with a smile.

The landlord seemed a bit disappointed but still said, "Alright, I’ll come back for it in the evening. Just don’t sell them all."

"I won’t, I’ll definitely save one for you."

Wei’er’s mom replied cheerfully.

Once the landlord had left, Wei’er’s mom quickly went to the back room to find her daughter and ask her questions.

"Why hasn’t Tang Ming come yet, Wei’er, did you actually look for him when you were at school?"

Wei’er’s mom asked a bit anxiously.

"Mom, I forgot about it when I went to class today,"

Xia Wei’er said, her face turning red. In truth, she was reluctant to find Tang Ming for fear that he would take the opportunity to make some demand, pressuring her into agreeing to something.

Having been fancied by many boys from a young age and due to her family’s circumstances, Xia Wei’er was very cautious of everyone, even if Tang Ming had helped her a lot. She was always on guard against him in her heart, naturally not giving him any chance to blackmail her.

"Forgot?"

Wei’er’s mom reproached her a bit:

"Wei’er, I’m not trying to blame you, but our cold drink shop’s business now entirely depends on the weight loss popsicles. Do you know the landlord came by earlier?"

"The landlord came? Was it for the rent?"

Xia Wei’er asked, startled.

"No, she came to reassure us, saying it’s not too late to pay when we have money."

Wei’er’s mom paused before adding, "But do you know why the landlord is so reassured?"

"I don’t know,"

Xia Wei’er shook her head.

"It’s because of the weight loss popsicles! The landlord must have heard from her friends about the benefits of the weight loss popsicles. That’s why she came to tell us not to worry about the rent, and incidentally asked me to save some weight loss popsicles for her this evening. So, tell me, isn’t Tang Ming very important to our cold drink shop?"

Wei’er’s mom spoke earnestly.

"Yes, mom, I got it. I’ll go find him right now,"

Xia Wei’er knew she couldn’t avoid it. Without Tang Ming’s weight loss popsicles, her family’s cold drink shop definitely couldn’t continue to operate, so she had to muster the courage to look for Tang Ming.

In the afternoon, Xia Wei’er finally arrived at the senior three class five classroom, only to find out that Tang Ming wasn’t there.

"Where has this guy gone off to?"

Xia Wei’er wondered, noticing that the chubby Zhou Youfu was also absent from the classroom.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave disappointedly, a girl beside her asked, "Are you Xia Wei’er?"

Xia Wei’er took a closer look and saw a beautiful girl with a great figure standing beside her. She was not as tall as herself, but she was even more adorable, and what was most striking was her chest, prominently pushed forward, making many boys blush.

"Li Xiaoli, I came to look for someone."

Xia Wei’er said with a flushed face, naturally recognizing Li Xiaoli, who was also a school beauty.

Li Xiaoli laughed, "So the Goddess of the Commoners came to find someone, could it be a boy? Which lucky guy in our class caught your attention?"

"I’m looking for Tang Ming."

Xia Wei’er said with a flushed face, "I have something to ask him for. Li Xiaoli, could you please tell Tang Ming later that I came looking for him and needed his help with something?"

"Sure."

Li Xiaoli nodded with a smile.

After Xia Wei’er left, Li Xiaoli walked into the classroom, went up to Liu Mengting and said, "Meng Meng sister, I have to tell you something. The school beauty Xia came looking for brother Tang Ming and even asked me to pass on the message. Do you think I should tell brother Tang Ming?"

Liu Mengting was surprised for a moment, then said, "Why tell him? As long as he’s my good bodyguard, that’s enough. Can’t let him go flirting around and causing trouble."

"Then, okay, I won’t tell brother Tang Ming."

Li Xiaoli thought about it and agreed.

After school in the afternoon, Xia Wei’er didn’t see Tang Ming come to look for her at the classroom door. She was worried that if Tang Ming did not go to make the diet popsicles, the dessert shop would have nothing to sell, business would plummet, and her father would not have money for his treatment, tightening her heart, she ran to Class 5 of Senior 3 again.

When she reached the doorway of Class 5, she found that the teacher was still holding the class and the students hadn’t been dismissed. Peeping through the window, Xia Wei’er saw Tang Ming lying on his desk asleep, which instantly irritated her: "Sleeping instead of coming to look for me, he must be putting on airs. If I go and seek him out, it’s like I’m begging him, and surely he would make demands like everyone else!"

Xia Wei’er started to feel that Tang Ming was interested in her, certainly playing that old game of playing hard to get.

After waiting a while, the class finally ended. Li Xiaoli was the first to come out of the classroom, and upon seeing her, Xia Wei’er hastily asked, "Li Xiaoli, did you tell Tang Ming that I came looking for him?"

"Ah? I forgot about it."

Caught by the question, Li Xiaoli had no choice but to lie.

Xia Wei’er was speechless, thinking, how unreliable is this beauty in doing things.

"Wei’er, why are you here?"

The chubby boy also came out of the classroom and greeted Xia Wei’er upon seeing her.

"Zhou Dafu, I’m here to find Tang Ming. Can you call him out for me?"

Xia Wei’er quickly said to the chubby boy.

"Alright."

The chubby boy waddled into the classroom, woke Tang Ming up, and dragged him out of the classroom.

Tang Ming, rubbing his eyes, saw it was Xia Wei’er and couldn’t help asking, "What’s up?"

Xia Wei’er, looking at Tang Ming, felt a sudden annoyance, thinking that he clearly knew how long those diet popsicles could be sold. Seeing his feigned ignorance, she could only say, "Your diet popsicles have sold out. My mom asked me to tell you to make some more."

"Oh, that. Easy."

Having said that, Tang Ming went straight to look for Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli.

"Meng Ting, you and Xiaoli go home first, I need to handle something on Snack Street."

Tang Ming told Liu Mengting.

Xia Wei’er, who was coming from behind, happened to hear this and wondered to herself, "Why are they heading home first? Do the three of them live together and go home together after school every day?"

Although it was strange, Xia Wei’er didn’t quite understand the relationship between Tang Ming and Liu Mengting at the moment, so she didn’t think too much about it.

However, Liu Mengting, after hearing Tang Ming’s words and being told by Li Xiaoli about Xia Wei’er looking for Tang Ming, plus knowing that Xia Wei’er’s family did business in Snack Street, the astute girl immediately thought, could there be something subtle between Xia Wei’er and Tang Ming?
