Chapter 52: 52 So you mean, you understand women very well?_1
By the time Tang Feng and Jiang Zi had returned home and changed into their clothes, they realized that their outfits were actually matching couple’s outfits.
If anyone claimed that it wasn’t intentional on the part of that female manager, no one would believe them.
“I… I should change out of this.”
Jiang Zi’s face flushed with embarrassment, ready to head back to the bedroom to change, but Tang Feng stopped her.
“What’s the big deal? We don’t see each other often, so no one will misunderstand,” he said, though deep down, he was secretly delighted.
Next time he saw Zhou Bingrui, he would definitely have to mention this.
Someone like the female manager of the Givenchy store, with such talent, should be promoted well, not just be any ordinary manager.
“But still…”
“Alright, enough of ‘but still’. I’m getting hungry, let’s go have some late-night snacks.”
Tang Feng didn’t wait for her to say more and immediately pulled her out the door.
In fact, he wasn’t lying; he hadn’t eaten dinner yet and was indeed getting a bit hungry now.
Jiang Zi took him to a nearby snack street.
Although it was already past nine, the street was still bustling, with every stall filled with couples.
And the arrival of Tang and Jiang undoubtedly became the most eye-catching pair.
There was no need to mention Jiang Zi; even if she was thrown into the celebrity-filled entertainment circle, she would be a top beauty, let alone reigning supreme over a snack street.
And Tang Feng himself wasn’t bad-looking either; now dressed in designer clothes, he was definitely a handsome guy.
Plus, with the couple’s outfit bonus, they seemed like a match made in heaven.
Many eyes followed the two, unwilling to look away for a long time.
Jiang Zi felt like a child who had done something wrong, hanging her head low, afraid to meet anyone’s gaze.
Seeing her like this, Tang Feng immediately took her small hand.
Jiang was startled and immediately tried to withdraw her hand.
But Tang Feng held on tightly, leaving her no chance to escape.
After several attempts to pull her hand away without success, she gave up resisting and hung her head even lower.
The two eventually arrived at a spicy hot skewers stall, where Jiang Zi said she often came to eat late at night when she was alone.
The lady boss was familiar with her and immediately came over enthusiastically to greet them, “Jiang is here? Yo, you brought your boyfriend today?”
“Ah, no, no, it’s not like that. He’s not…”
Jiang Zi quickly withdrew her hand and waved it frantically.
“Hello, Auntie, just call me Tang,” Tang Feng interrupted casually, resting a hand on her shoulder and beaming a sunny smile at the auntie.
“The young man is really good-looking! Jiang has good taste,” the auntie said, shooting them a congratulatory look.
Jiang Zi was so annoyed that she turned to pinch the soft flesh on his waist, “How can you be like this? Hurry up and explain to the auntie.”
Tang Feng, feeling helpless, had to explain to the auntie, “Auntie, you’ve misunderstood. I haven’t succeeded in pursuing her yet. Could you teach me how to chase a girl like her?”
Jiang Zi’s face turned even redder at his words and she chased after him trying to kick him.
The auntie watched them playfully bickering, chuckling, “Chasing a girl, remember three tricks: be bold, be attentive, and have a thick skin. Boys should take the initiative, show more concern for the girl, and not give up after just one rejection…”
Auntie actually began to impart the ultimate tricks of flirting.
Tang Feng listened with great interest, “Thanks for the advice, Auntie! I’ve got the courage and the attention to detail, but my skin just isn’t thick enough!”
Jiang Zi immediately teased him, “Oh, cut it out. Your skin isn’t thick enough? I’ve never seen anyone with thicker skin than you.”
Tang Feng raised his eyebrows at her, “So you’re saying, since I’ve got the courage, attention to detail, and thick skin, I should have a good chance, right?”
Jiang Zi suddenly became flustered and avoided his gaze, “What chance? Can you stop talking nonsense?”
Tang Feng always kept a measure of control, feeling that with Jiang Zi’s level of comfort, the joking could only go so far.
If he pushed any further, she might get angry, so he stopped right there.
The two then went to pick out what they wanted to eat, handed it all over to the auntie to cook, and then sat back down to wait.
They didn’t have to wait long; the auntie quickly brought over two bowls.
Jiang Zi had a small appetite and didn’t choose much; even the smallest bowl was only half-filled.
As for Tang Feng, his portion was at least four to five times larger than hers, a full big bowl.
“Is that enough for you? Should I dish out some more for you?” he asked, fearing she wouldn’t have enough, and picked up his own bowl, ready to serve her some more.
“No, no, I might not even finish this much,” Jiang Zi hurriedly guarded her bowl, very resistant.
“Can you really get full on so little?” Tang Feng looked at her skeptically.
“I’ve been trying to lose weight recently, so I can’t eat a lot,” Jiang Zi said with conviction.
Tang Feng glanced at her slender waist, “Are you kidding me? You’re already this thin and you’re still trying to lose weight? If you keep it up, you’ll turn into a bolt of lightning.”
Jiang Zi touched her flat stomach, “Being a bit thinner looks better.”
“Who told you that?”
“That’s what those fashion magazines always say.”
“You should read less of those fashion magazines.”
“Why?”
“Because the men who make those magazines don’t even like women. What do they know about women?” Tang Feng couldn’t help but rant.
Jiang Zi immediately covered her mouth and chuckled, then picked up a fish ball and popped it into her mouth, asking vaguely, “So you’re saying you understand women?”
Tang Feng wasn’t about to fall into such an obvious trap, “I wouldn’t say I understand them, but I can give you some advice from a man’s perspective. Being too fat or too thin isn’t good; only if you would look fat by gaining a bit more and look thin by losing a bit less, are you just perfect. Women should be a bit meatier…they feel better to the touch…”
Jiang Zi had been listening seriously at first, feeling that he was making sense.
But by the time she heard the last sentence, she couldn’t help but retort with false anger, “Oh, get lost. I didn’t let you touch me, who cares if you think there’s a good feel to it or not?”
Seeing her acting bashfully, Tang Feng’s heart fluttered, “I already touched you just now, and the feel… was not bad.”
As he spoke, he even deliberately twisted his fingers as if reminiscing about something.
“Tang Feng, you…”
Jiang Zi was so angry she could hardly stand it and picked up her chopsticks to hit him, but accidentally knocked over the bowl in front of her.
“Ah…”
Although she dodged quickly, the soup from the bowl still splashed onto her foot.
