I Seem Unsuited For Dating
What's so strange about that? Although his sister-in-law wanted retort, she finally changed her mind. "Since you're determined not to, we won't talk about Sun Jiao Jiao, but you have to date and find someone you like."
Jiang Zhi Zhou stood to the side and did not speak. His sister-in-law patiently persuaded him: "If you were five or six years old, you could wait to find someone you liked, but you're now going on thirty and can no longer be so capricious. Think about your parents, getting older by the day. Since they've handed your affairs over to me, I have to account to them on your behalf."
Jiang Zhi Zhou said: "I'll account to my parents myself."
"..." So you're determined to stay single to the end, his sister-in-law thought. But she couldn't press him any further for fear of making him even more resentful of dating. "I'll leave first. Please think about it."
"You're not staying for lunch?"
"I have something to do later. I was just in the neighbourhood and thought I'd come over to say hello, I'm not worried about you." Sister-in-law sighed. Not only did she have to worry about her children, even her brother-in-law was worrisome.
"I'll escort you down."
"No, you should eat soon, before you go to work."
"Well, then take care on the road." Jiang Zhi Zhou didn't send her off in the end. After his sister-in-law had left, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Xia Wei's phone. "She's gone, you can come down and return the soy sauce."
Xia Wei: "..."
Afraid that his sister-in-law would make a comeback, she waited a few more minutes before bringing back the soy sauce bottle. Jiang Zhi Zhou had set the table and was sitting there alone.
Xia Wei returned the soy sauce to the kitchen and sat down at the table. The food on the table was still hot, and Xia Wei was drooling inside, but under Mr. Jiang's unseen pressure she didn't dare move her chopsticks.
She turned her head, smiling, and asked Jiang Zhi Zhou: "Won't you eat?"
Jiang Zhi Zhou looked at her: "Why did you tell my sister-in-law that you were borrowing soy sauce? Are you unwilling to disclose our relationship?"
"Try to think of it from my point of view." Xia Wei decided to tell him the truth and reason with him. "If today you were in my home and my mom suddenly came knocking, wouldn't you be afraid?"
Jiang Zhi Zhou: "..."
Okay, fine, just a little afraid.
"I was scared silly to find your sister-in-law out there, alright? I was completely caught off-guard. I'm not in the least prepared. It's a good thing I'm witty, or I'd have died here today."
"...what you're saying is rather exaggerated."
"It's not an exaggeration. My hair was last washed the day before yesterday. My facial mask was also applied the day before yesterday! I went out in a hurry today, and even my eyebrows aren't painted well. Look, they're thicker on one side!"
Jiang Zhi Zhou: "..."
"Also, I'm not dressed formally enough today, ugh, the more I think about it the worse it gets!"
"..." Jiang Zhi Zhou compromised. "Just eat first."
Hearing Mr. Jiang cave, Xia Wei finally picked up her chopsticks and half of the meal soon vanished. Jiang Zhi Zhou suddenly said: "But even an ugly wife eventually has to meet her in-laws."
