Chapter 63: The Dao is One Foot Tall, the Devil is Ten Feet Tall (Part 2)

Sometimes, being loose-lipped requires paying a heavy price.

And Zhou Xiaoru is about to pay a painful price for the words she just spoke.

It is only a painful price in her eyes, but if it were any other woman, she would likely be dying to take her place.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a breakfast shop at the commercial plaza, many snacks were laid out on a spacious table.

There were steamed dumplings, soup dumplings, piglet buns, jujube paste cakes, golden cakes, black rice cakes, siu mai, side dishes, red bean soup, and so on...

In short, this eight-person dining table, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, had every available spot filled with food.

A whole table full of food! It gave one the impression of a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast!

Passersby walking past their table could not help but cast surprised glances at the two people sitting before the table.

At this moment, Jiang Bufan was burying her head in her meal, while the man opposite her, faced with this table full of items, felt completely devoid of hunger despite his initial surprise.

He could only swallow his saliva repeatedly, watching the person across from him bury her head and "slaughter" the food!

Just before ordering, Jiang Bufan had asked him, "Are you paying for breakfast today?"

Then, after he silently nodded, he witnessed this woman's series of crazy actions.

She had ordered almost every single snack and pastry in the breakfast shop.

With so much food, he felt that even if two pigs came, they couldn't finish it.

Let alone the two of them.

Jiang Bufan only cared about eating and didn't even lift her eyelids; after finishing a bowl of tofu pudding, she saw that the person opposite her hadn't moved.

Only then did she lift her eyes and gesture with a look.

"Why aren't you eating? Are you not used to Chinese food?" She had chosen the place; she had heard from Zhou Xiaoru before that this guy had also spent time abroad.

Perhaps he didn't like Chinese style; nowadays, the standard breakfast for many CEOs is coffee, sandwiches, or salads.

Jiang Bufan felt that this was just putting on airs!

It wasn't that she couldn't accept Western-style breakfast, but rather that deep in her bones, she possessed a patriotic sentiment.

She felt that for the children of China, the standard breakfast was either soy milk and fried dough sticks, or buns and porridge, along with other small pastries and flour-based dishes.

Our great China has so many snacks, why follow those foreigners? She was very puzzled by this!

Just as she was mentally deducting points from the man before her, Su Poyang spoke up.

"It's not that, I'm just not very hungry right now; I'll eat in a bit."

Hearing him say this, Jiang Bufan stopped talking and began to eat again.

She planned to pack up everything that couldn't be finished later to take back.

At this moment, her mind began to allocate the food on the table again.

She remembered that Zhou Xiaoru liked soup dumplings and steamed dumplings, Xiao Lan liked golden cakes and various pastries, and as for Yao Xiang, she liked anything edible.

Seeing that silence had fallen again, Su Poyang couldn't sit still; after thinking for a moment, he took out the two hundred yuan that had been pressed under his phone at the hotel a few days ago from his pocket.

He awkwardly placed the money in front of the person eating across from him.

He asked, "What is the meaning of this two hundred yuan!"

Over these past few days, he had imagined many possibilities for this two hundred yuan.

For example, the money might be for the room charge, or perhaps she had left it behind inadvertently.

But no matter which one it was, he had never thought in the direction Jiang Bufan had.

At this time, having already put away two bowls of food, a certain Bufan put down her spoon and picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth.

Afterward, she shifted her gaze back to the person opposite her.

She stated very calmly, "Don't dwell on it. That night, we were both drunk, so I have my own responsibility..." She had learned later that after Su Poyang sent her back to her room, he had returned to drink more.

"Since what shouldn't have happened, happened, I am an adult and don't like to take advantage of others. I am not a rich woman either; since I slept with you that night, I can only give you the pay from my part-time job that day."

She couldn't give anything else, so this was just a gesture.

Under normal circumstances, usually after a one-night stand, the woman is the victim, acting as if the world is ending, crying and wailing.

But when it came to Jiang Bufan, it was completely different!

She felt that there were many erroneous concepts existing between the sexes, and this was wrong!

The anatomy of men and women is different; one cannot pin a moral label on a man just because a woman's first time involves a hymen and blood, while a man's does not.

As long as it isn't rape, isn't the person involved enjoying it themselves!

Regarding this point, Miss Jiang saw things more clearly than anyone else.

And this statement of hers completely stunned a certain guy!

One must know, Su Poyang was already a mature man in his early thirties!

He was a top student who graduated from a foreign university with a degree in economics, possessed not only rich work experience but also excellent luck with women, and moved freely among the opposite sex.

Have you seen the butterflies in a garden? Have you ever seen any flower that could keep the same butterfly?

The answer is, of course not!

Su Poyang was precisely a flowery butterfly flying among the flowers! What variety of flower had he not seen?

Yet despite this, he was still dumbfounded by this rare specimen.

He asked somewhat uncertainly, "You mean... this two hundred yuan is a tip for me?"

He felt he had been greatly insulted! There was actually a woman who treated him as a victim?!

Only, if Su Poyang knew that in Jiang Bufan's heart, she only regarded him as a male escort, one wonders if he would explode with anger on the spot!

Jiang Bufan also considered this man's face and said tactfully.

"You can't put it that way either. Anyway, you just need to know that in this matter, it wasn't all your fault. You don't need to have any psychological burden; I won't ask you to do anything, don't worry!"

Hearing these words, Su Poyang was so astonished he didn't know how to respond.

The routines and solutions he had been so familiar with in the past had failed to be of any use for the first time today!

He even once suspected that this woman before him, wearing black-rimmed glasses, with a calm face and appearing somewhat mature, might... not like men at all?!

That was why she could appear so calm! And even carry a hint of composure?

Jiang Bufan kept looking back indifferently at the man who was currently sizing her up.

The almond eyes beneath the black-rimmed glasses narrowed unconsciously, and she coldly stated the thoughts in a certain pot's heart directly.

"You don't need to guess wildly! My sexual orientation is very normal; I like men!"

Hearing this, the pot opposite her was so shocked he gasped!

This woman was not only bizarre, but also somewhat terrifying! How could she know what he was thinking in his heart?

Facing his look of shock, Jiang Bufan couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that, to a certain Su, looked sinister.

She spoke again, "No need to feel strange; I am crystal clear about what you are thinking right now! You simply think, how could there be someone as strange as me. Encountering such a thing, I neither want you to take responsibility nor ask you for money. Either I don't like men, or my nerves are abnormal. If I haven't guessed wrong, you brought a check with you, didn't you..."

At this point, Su Poyang's face turned pale, and he subconsciously touched the pocket of his suit!

Inside it was indeed a blank check that had not yet been filled with an amount!

Jiang Bufan successfully captured the trace of panic on the man's face opposite her, then continued.

"You don't need to be nervous; you treated me to this breakfast, so let's consider us even... Forgot to tell you, I can read minds! So, don't go imagining things that aren't there anymore!"

If it weren't for the fact that this was a public place, Jiang Bufan would have really wanted to laugh out loud three times after saying these words! To intimidate the man opposite her!

But she thought too much...

She didn't need to laugh out loud at all to have already successfully shocked the handsome Su!

Su Poyang looked at her, somewhat dazed, as if he were looking at an alien.

Where did this woman pop out from! She was simply terrifying to the extreme!

By now, Jiang Bufan was full and decided to go to the counter to get some takeout boxes.

Before leaving her seat, she asked one more time.

"Are you eating? If not, I'm packing it up to go!"

It was seen that the person whose entire state had become somewhat of a fool just shook his head blankly.

At this moment, he hadn't fully digested the words Jiang Bufan had just said.

Seeing him shake his head, Jiang Bufan gave another instruction.

"Then you watch things here first; I'm going to get the takeout boxes!"

A certain pot nodded foolishly again...

If one were to ask what it means for all things to have their nemesis, the so-called "one thing subdues another," Su Poyang had encountered his match for the first time in his thirty-some years of life.

Think of how he had roamed the romantic scene for so many years, looking at women like looking at flowers—glancing at them in passing—without ever blinding himself!

But today! He had been defeated by a student girl who hadn't even graduated yet and was seven or eight years younger than him!

He felt like he had taken ten thousand points of damage!

When Jiang Bufan returned with several takeout boxes, the handsome Su was still lost in the clouds.

Today would be an important day recorded in the history books of Su Poyang.

He had been toyed with by a little girl time and time again, and had no way to refute it!

If one were to talk about young girls these days, they are truly incredible, and this also made him deeply realize...

An experienced driver's car is not easy to drive now; traffic violations are caught strictly, and cars cannot be parked or left just anywhere!

Otherwise, one day he might suddenly end up in the station without even knowing what happened.

This was the first head-on confrontation between the two, ending with Jiang Bufan completely defeating Su Poyang.

Because of this, Su Poyang remained gloomy for a long time, and his heart was completely covered with a thick shadow!

And Zhou Xiaoru, who had been wandering behind the tiger's backside, after kicking the tiger's backside several times, was taken directly back to his home by a certain blackened gentleman!

It wasn't that Zhou Xiaoru intended to say those things to provoke him; it was just that she was truly afraid of losing control of her heart again.

With every interaction, contact, and even being 'bullied' by a certain Gu from time to time...

She felt herself sinking deeper and deeper, falling further and further.

If things went on like this, wouldn't she fall for this tree named Gu Liyan once again?

She was not reconciled! And even more, she felt afraid!

Afraid of giving her heart to the wrong person and repeating the same mistakes!

Being foolish once was enough; if she were to be foolish a second time, then she would truly have no shame!

Therefore, she said she liked boys like Du Feng now.

However, deep in her heart, could she really manage to completely push this man she had never forgotten out of her life!

The answer is unknown...
