Married Thrice to Salted FishChapter 130

Chapter 130

It only took Lin Qingyu half a day to learn how to use most of the functions of the mobile phone; though his typing speed was no match for the average teenager. Jiang Xing suggested that he use voice-to-text conversion. Lin Qingyu spoke Mandarin in a very standard manner and his speed of speech was also just right making it so that there were almost no errors in recognition. 6swvFJ

Aside from communication, a phone’s biggest function is for entertainment. Jiang Xing said, “Shall I download a few games for you to play? Since you are still a novice, I will teach you how to play Anipop first and then I'll teach you how to play Jungler, given your personality I think you suit Jungler best.”

Lin Qingyu said, “This matter of playing the jungle will be discussed later. The most important thing now is that you teach me how to search and look up information on my mobile phone.”

Jiang Xing asked, “What do you want to look up?”

“A lot.” 7hEvSZ

Jiang Xing taught Lin Qingyu to surf the Internet and Lin Qingyu once again fell into a state of ecstasy. Jiang Xing also had something to check so he sat next to Lin Qingyu and while looking things up, he fed Lin Qingyu bites of after-meal fruit.

He didn’t know how long Lin Qingyu was going to stay in modern times. According to Lin Qingyu, if they wished to return to the Dayu, it would depend on a man named Xu Junyuan. In modern society, it could be said that without an ID card, even moving around would be difficult.

So here comes the question, how does a black householder get an ID card?

The procedures listed online were complex and complicated and Jiang Xing grew dizzy just looking at the never-ending list of relevant policies. He decided to ask his grandfather’s omnipotent assistant for help. He made a phone call to explain his request and the assistant readily agreed. She told him to take the black householder to accomplish the formalities once the holidays were over but to leave the rest to her.

When he came back from his phone call, he saw that Lin Qingyu had gone to the balcony. He was facing the Pearl River, his long hair was buffeted by the winds, his fair face carrying a dignified expression.

Jiang Xing asked, “Qingyu, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Lin Qingyu, seemingly weak and weary, passed the phone to Jiang Xing. “The girl who helped me find you last time, please add her on WeChat for me.”

Lin Qingyu’s mobile phone interface was still on his browser and there was a series of search records on it: WdShF4

[Is a gunshot wound fatal and how to heal it.]

[You can’t do anything to minors, restrictions on minors]

[Is it illegal to have a relationship with a minor?]

[What is the best medical institution in the country?] 9fDce5

[Where can I buy poison?]

[Can I keep poisonous snakes?]

[Criminal Law]

He now had a guess as to why the villainous beauty looked as though he’d suffered such a serious setback. Sorry, we really can’t poison people here.

“Not really.” Lin Qingyu said softly, “I’m a little tired.” 9ABc1Q

“You don’t want to drink milk tea?”

Lin Qingyu hesitated for a moment. “I do.”

Jiang Xing smiled and said, “Then I’ll call the driver to pick us up.”

Lin Qingyu was not very happy. “But I want to be alone with you, without other people around.” rIvBOn

Jiang Xing was troubled. “Then what should I do? I don’t know how to drive and I can’t wrong you by making you ride a bike with me, that’d be so tiring.” And Lin Qingyu didn’t know how to ride a bike anyway. This luxury apartment was located in the most prosperous area of the city, within walking distance to the commercial center. But how can he let the ancient beauty walk with him? He had to take Lin Qingyu to experience the convenience of modern transportation.

So, the property’s steward received Jiang Xing’s call for help once again, “Can you rent me a scooter?”

Lin Qingyu went out wearing Jiang Xing’s clothes and shoes. The shoes were from Jiang Xing’s junior high school days but they were just the right size for Lin Qingyu and although the clothes were a little loose, they were decent. With his mask on and his long hair loose, he looked like a girl in her boyfriend’s clothes.

Lin Qingyu followed Jiang Xing downstairs, where the steward had already prepared the electric scooter and helmets. The steward repeatedly confirmed with Jiang Xing: “You really don’t want me to call a car for you?” ZA1Eq8

“No, this is more convenient——Qingyu, look up. Put on this helmet.”

Lin Qingyu was still chatting with Ke Tang: [Let’s talk later, I’m going to ride a scooter.]

Ke Tang: […You’re going to ride what?]

Lin Qingyu: [A scooter.] Kdm603

Ke Tang: [Huhuhu, can’t your husband take you on something bigger? What if you two don’t fit?]

This car called a “scooter” was indeed a tad bit small for the two grown men and Lin Qingyu couldn’t help wondering if it could even support their combined weight.

Jiang Xing patted the back seat of the scooter. “Come on.”

Lin Qingyu hesitated. “Will this be better than a car?” tWR4F5

“Of course.” Jiang Xing said with a smile, “You’ll never get stuck in traffic on this thing. Isn’t that good enough?”

Lin Qingyu straddled up and clasped his sides tightly with both hands. Jiang Xing said, “Put your arms around my waist and hold on tight.”

Lin Qingyu remained motionless and asked, “Does hugging your waist count as seducing you?”

“No, it’s called good safety awareness. Not only will you not be caught by the police, but you will also be praised.” Ydpkd8

Only then did Lin Qingyu hug Jiang Xing tightly from behind, pressing his face against his back. The scooter started to move. Though the speed varied greatly from a car, it was surprisingly refreshing and comfortable. The trees on both sides gradually receded as the two of them left the community and came onto the public streets. The breeze blew away the summer heat.

When they arrived by the commercial area’s sidewalk, Jiang Xing parked his scooter and took off Lin Qingyu’s helmet for him. Lin Qingyu’s long hair had been pressed flat by the helmet and blown into a mess by the wind. The top of his head was about to puff up. Jiang Xing hid his smile behind his mask and smoothed Lin Qingyu’s hair with his hands.

Lin Qingyu let Jiang Xing fix his hair and asked, “Where’s the milk tea?”

Nowadays, almost every street had a milk tea shop. Jiang Xing chose a popular brand and spent the huge sum of 70 yuan to buy two cups of their signature milk tea. While paying, he demonstrated to Lin Qingyu step by step how to use mobile phones to make mobile payments. vGOQC

Jiang Xing remembered that there was no money in Lin Qingyu’s WeChat, so turning around slightly, he made a fund transfer.

After a while, Lin Qingyu received a message: [Jiang Xing has transferred 5,200 yuan to you]

Lin Qingyu looked up at Jiang Xing: “What does this mean?”

Jiang Xing smiled and said, “Milk tea money for my wife.” vbe2g5

The milk tea this time was indeed much better than the last time’s; although not by a hundred times, at least ten times. The two walked down the street holding a cup of milk tea each. Even though they were wearing masks, they still attracted looks from many passers-by because of their height and temperament. Especially Lin Qingyu, who would take off his mask to drink milk tea from time to time. As soon as he showed the other half of his face, passers-by would realize that this was not some young couple.

When passing by a small goods store, Jiang Xing, seeing that most of the customers were girls, suggested, “Qingyu, let’s go in and have a look?”

Lin Qingyu, not knowing what kind of shop it was, simply nodded, “Alright.”

As soon as he entered the shop, Lin Qingyu smelled a strange fragrance. He found the source of the smell, which turned out to be a row of scented candles — he didn’t know the similarities and differences between the fragrances here and the Dayu’s. I y1pz

Jiang Xing found the accessories area by himself. He didn’t understand anything about girls’ things so he asked the clerk for help, “My wife’s hair is too long and it always gets wet when she washes her face. Apart from a rubber band is there anything that can help with that?”

He asked openly and earnestly, with bright and beautiful eyes, so that the clerk showed 100% enthusiasm and replied, “How about buying a hairpin, or a headband? Our cat ears headband is one of our bestsellers. It’s…”

As Lin Qingyu was studying the ingredients of the candles, he felt someone approach him from behind. He thought it was Jiang Xing, but when he turned around, he saw a strange man. The man combed back his shiny black hair and grinned at him. “Pretty girl, are you here by yourself? You’re so tall, are you a model?”

Lin Qingyu frowned in disgust. Seems there are Disciples of Greasiness in every world. rpAMGV

Intentionally or unintentionally, the man was fiddling with his car keys. “Let’s add each other on WeChat. Next time, I’ll treat you to coffee.”

There was a girl standing behind the man, her eyes were filled with disgust and impatience. “Ge, that’s enough. Can’t you tell when someone doesn’t want to talk to you?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Unwilling to give up, the man took out his trump card. “Pretty girl, I’m 1.84 meters tall, a little taller than you.”

Was cursing someone out illegal here? f8L6Qi

Before Lin Qingyu could tell him to ‘take a hike’, a baseball cap was pressed down onto his head.

“I’m sorry, handsome.” Jiang Xing pulled down the brim of the cap to cover Lin Qingyu’s face and said casually, “You’re talking to my wife right now.”

The man saw that Jiang Xing looked like a student, so he flashed him his car keys again. He said, “Maybe your girlfriend, but not your wife.”

Jiang Xing smiled politely, “My wife.” y3zLKh

Although they didn’t get a certificate, they did have a matchmaker’s introduction and three matches and six engagements and that makes him his wife.

But in the eyes of men, a high school student with a wife is like a kid playing house. “Alright, fine, your wife. But I just want to make friends with your wife. Don’t get me wrong, Xiao Shuai Ge.”

Jiang Xing saw the man’s car keys and silently took out his electric scooter keys. The man let out a light cough to hide his happiness at his win. He wanted to say something, but the girl standing beside him held him back. “Let’s go, I’ve finished shopping——”

The girl used all sorts of excuses and finally pulled the man out. The man felt that he had lost face and asked his sister, “Why did you stop me? Are you afraid of some scooter-riding student couple?” Y5ZQt

“Don’t make a fool of yourself.” The girl said contemptuously, “Do you know how much that boy’s shoes cost?”

“Just how much can a pair of shoes cost?”

The girl snorted coldly, “The money you paid for that second-hand BMW is probably just barely enough to buy him two pairs. And you want to hook up with his girlfriend? Lol, what face do you have?”

The man sneered and said, “If he had that much money then why take a scooter? Those shoes must be fake.” dieD2l

“Oh, get over yourself. You think they’re take a scooter because that’s the only thing they can afford. Haven’t you heard that bringing out your girlfriend to experience life is the latest thing?  Even riding scooters is fun.”

Lin Qingyu looked at the man’s departing back and said two words to himself. “…Criminal law.”

Jiang Xing’s forehead twitched. “I ask the Lord Prime Minister to be magnanimous with his patience.”

There were few boys with long hair and Lin Qingyu’s brows and eyes looked delicate. It wasn’t surprising that that wretched man would mistake him for a girl. E07Wnh

After walking out of the shop, Jiang Xing suddenly laughed and said, “Qingyu, I…I want to hold hands with you.”

Jiang Xing’s tone was full of youthful nervousness, which reminded Lin Qingyu of the years when they were still in the Nan’an Hou’s mansion.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Who could refuse Jiang Xing when he was like this?

Lin Qingyu looked left and right then stretched out his hand. “Alright.” zQer s

Two slender hands were clasped together. On their other hand, the two were still holding their unfinished milk tea. Flushed faces were hidden under the masks and even though their palms are hot and sweaty, they did not let go. They were no different from other young couples in love strolling along the street.

When Lin Qingyu saw the traffic policeman directing traffic at the intersection, he immediately let go of Jiang Xing’s hand and walked forward quickly, leaving Jiang Xing alone in confusion. At this moment, Jiang Xing had the impression of being caught by the head teacher doing PDA.

Lin Qingyu took two steps and then looked back at Jiang Xing, urging with his eyes: Are you not following?

Jiang Xing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, he chased after Lin Qingyu and took Lin Qingyu’s hand again. “Don’t be nervous, Baobei. At most, this is just puppy love. The policeman uncle won’t arrest you.” vJnEl8

Actually, it probably can’t technically count as puppy love. According to Lin Qingyu, his actual age has already past the legal age of marriage.

Lin Qingyu turned thoughtful. He took out his mobile phone and searched: [Is puppy love against the law?]

Answer: Puppy love is not illegal, but students are advised to focus on their studies. We do not advocate puppy love, especially during the all-important third year of high school! Reject puppy love! Start with me!

Anipop is a game similar to Candy Crush, a matching game. Jungler is that position in League of Legends. Going from Candy Crush to LoL is a bit of a jump, don’t you think?
