Chapter 736: Chapter 737 Freeloading Man 22_1

What? Always been like this since childhood? Xia Yuanji’s words completely stumped Song Lei.

Could the original host have mentioned this when she was a child? He quickly scrolled through the records, but alas, there was no record of it.

Having just solved the problem, Song Lei handed her draft notebook to Xia Yuanji, "I’ve always had this idea since I was a child."

"When you were a child, you wanted to be a bride," Xia Yuanji said, recalling the adorably plump little girl’s words from their childhood, which brought him joy.

What? Wanting to be a bride? Oh my god, why couldn’t this child just take it easy, obviously she could just lay back at home, but instead, she wants to get married and have kids.

Ah, I really can’t understand, Song Lei could only offer a dry laugh, "You’ve played house before, right?"

Song Lei glared fiercely at Xia Yuanji, he was such an excessive fellow, how many ponds had he managed to ruffle since his arrival?

That was bad enough, but allowing her to make a fool of herself repeatedly now, that was just too much.

If this guy didn’t give her any face, and continued to make her embarrassed, she definitely wouldn’t look kindly upon him.

Xia Yuanji felt secretly amused inside, "Exactly, just like playing house."

"But do you think you could lay back?"

"Laying back is so boring," Xia Yuanji didn’t believe for a second that Song Lei would lay back, "As a child, you were quite the busybody, making clothes for dolls."

"I even thought you would become a fashion designer."

"Of course, you had many other hobbies back then." The young Song Lei really had a multitude of ideas, switching from one thing to another.

Oh my god, fortunately the original host was a child with many ideas, otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to respond, "I was young at that time, I didn’t know."

"Now I’ve grown up, and my thoughts have changed, but what do you think about me becoming a buyer?" Song Lei remembered this profession existed in the fashion circle.

She could try this line of work, where one could travel all over and still earn money.

A buyer? What’s that? While many people didn’t know of this title, Xia Yuanji understood, "Sure, that’s quite suitable for you."

"Great, now my goal is to do this, and then I can regularly go out to eat, drink, have fun, and incidentally make purchases."

As for how the business would do, it didn’t matter; as long as the shop was her own, the financial pressure would be greatly reduced after removing rent.

"Take a look at how I’ve done." But those were concerns for later; right now, the most important thing was the upcoming college entrance examination.

Even though everyone still didn’t understand what a buyer was, they just knew it had to do with buying things and then selling them, but why buyer, they still couldn’t grasp.

Chiang Yi wasn’t looking at them, but he was all ears, listening in. He had never known about Song Lei’s childhood.

Even less did he understand the occasional jargon they popped out with. It was at this moment he realized that the gap between him and Song Lei was not just a small one.

His so-called pride, in Song Lei’s eyes, might just be one big joke.

Xia Yuanji quickly reviewed the problem-solving process, "All correct."

"Thank you." Song Lei felt this was probably the benefit of having Xia Yuanji here; if she encountered a problem in the future, she could consult with him directly.

Hehe, pretty good. Song Lei felt that with Xia Yuanji added to her mundane school days, it really wasn’t boring anymore.

This afternoon’s classes, the test papers for the next few courses were released, and at the same time, the overall ranking was also announced.

Everyone was shocked to see Song Lei’s scores, as she shot straight into the top 80. To know, in the science stream, rank 80 was the last spot in the advancement class.

Although it wasn’t used as the basis for class assignments, many people had a more vivid recognition of Song Lei—Her improvement could definitely be described as a leap.

Xia Yuanji knew Song Lei’s scores were improving but hadn’t expected such a significant improvement, especially considering the high difficulty of the test.

"Let’s go have something tasty after school tonight?" Seeing as the young girl scored well, they should definitely celebrate properly.

Going to eat something delicious? Song Lei’s eyes lit up, "What are we eating?" Their after-school self-study session ended at 8:30 PM, wondering what places would still be open outside.

"I remember there’s a great barbecue restaurant, how about we go there?"

"The lamb is flown in directly from the Western Region." Xia Yuanji knew Song Lei definitely wouldn’t miss out.

"Tumen Barbecue?" Wow, Song Lei certainly knew that place, it was always super busy, and she had eaten there a few times. The taste was truly said to be absolutely delicious.

If there was one issue, it was the price—it really was expensive, significantly more so than the average barbecue joint outside.

"Yes, interested?"

Did they even need to ask? Song Lei nodded vigorously, "Of course, I’m interested!"

"I’m in, by the way, should we eat at the restaurant or get takeout and eat at home?"

"Whichever," Xia Yuanji was fine with either option.

"Then let’s eat at the restaurant. Let’s get our homework done quickly tonight."

Although they could take the barbecue home, it wouldn’t be as good as eating at the restaurant.

"Deal." The two discussed what to eat for their late-night snack while having dinner.

"By the way, we should let Ai Yi know, otherwise the dinner she made would be wasted."

"As for the ingredients, Auntie can take them back." Fresh ingredients would be coming tomorrow.

Xia Yuanji took out his phone to call Auntie and inform her of the plan, "By the way, if you want any specific dish, you can tell Auntie directly."

"Okay, but I’m not picky." Xia Yuanji reaffirmed his lack of pickiness.

Not picky? In the original owner’s memories, that person was actually quite fussy about food.

Xia Yuanji knew Song Lei didn’t believe him, but it didn’t matter; as they spent more time together, she would see he was telling the truth.

Those around them listening to their conversation about the evening’s late-night snack felt they really couldn’t eat their school dinners now.

The food in the school cafeteria was hardly delicious to begin with, and then these two had to discuss going to Tumen for barbecue.

Who wouldn’t want to go to Tumen? Other than being crowded and pricey, everyone just conceded that the newcomer must have deep pockets.

During the evening self-study, Song Lei worked at full speed, trying hard to finish today’s homework. By rushing and pushing, they had managed to get the work done by the end of school.

Not only did they finish, but Xia Yuanji even helped Song Lei check her homework. His serious demeanor completely outshone Chiang Yi.

Even good friends who had always given Chiang Yi face, making excuses for him, had to admit, "Chiang Yi, you really fall short."

His friend knew Chiang Yi’s thoughts on Song Lei might not be of deep affection, but it wasn’t completely devoid of liking either. Now, it was more about not being able to accept defeat.

Chiang Yi didn’t answer, continuing with his homework. Did he not know?

It was precisely because he knew that he felt even more aggrieved, "Playboy behavior."

"It just doesn’t look sincere." Right, rich families’ sons, how many of them are good? They’re all fickle-hearted.

Wasn’t it said that they’d known each other since childhood, suggesting they ran in the same circles, and then there were marriage arrangements.

It was just an arranged marriage, a show for everyone to see. What their relationship would be like behind closed doors was anyone’s guess.

"Only a fool like Song Lei would think highly of the other party." Chiang Yi definitely didn’t have a good opinion of them.

His friend knew he couldn’t accept it and quietly listened to him complain.
