Extra 3 About Ordinary Things

Chapter 509 Extra Chapter 3: About Ordinary Times
On the weekend, Su Miaoyi went to the cemetery early in the morning to bring Xixian a bag of gold bracelets, gold locks, pearls, jade, diamonds...

Xi Xian was very happy to receive it.

After chatting for a few minutes, Xi Xian got busy, and Su Miaoyi returned.

At noon, she and Shen Yanzhou went to Yan Zhiqing's restaurant for lunch.

Just after we finished eating, Zhuang Yanzheng arrived.

He sat down, poured himself a glass of water from Shen Yanzhou's cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Yanzhou looked at his cup.

Su Miaoyi held her chopsticks, looked up at him, and then at her germaphobic brother.

She felt her brother was a little broken.

After Zhuang Yanzheng finished drinking his water, he asked the waiter to bring Shen Yanzhou a new cup.

Shen Yanzhou's expression instantly softened: "What are you doing? Is someone chasing you?"

"My uncle's family has come."

"Did your uncle hit you?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Her deepest impression of her uncle was that he chased Zhuang Yanzheng all over the yard with a small wooden stick.

This impression was so deep that whenever her uncle was mentioned, she immediately thought of him hitting people.

“No. His son is getting married. The bride is from Jinghai, and the whole family came to visit her family. They came to my house first,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “They’re having dinner here today.”

"Then they started pressuring us to get married," Shen Yanzhou guessed.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at him with an expression that said he had found a kindred spirit.

“My cousin is getting married soon, so as the older cousin, I’m bound to get pressured to get married,” Shen Yanzhou said. “Today, there will only be two topics at dinner: my cousin’s wedding and the older cousin’s pressure to get married.”

"I made up an excuse and ran down immediately," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"Are you afraid of being rushed?" Su Miaoyi said. "I see you're quite adept at deflecting Aunt Yan's questions."

Zhuang Yanzheng gave a bleak smile: "How about I take you up there to experience it?"

Su Miaoyi shook her head and neatly arranged the shredded carrots on the side of the plate.

"You've changed from being a picky eater to arranging food on a platter?" Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her.

“Once I’ve arranged these tomatoes, carrots, and cilantro on a plate, I’ll sell it to you for 998,” Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at Shen Yanzhou: "It's a good thing she didn't go into business, otherwise she would have become so corrupt."

Shen Yanzhou chuckled.

Zhuang Yanzheng asked, "Why isn't your family pressuring you anymore?"

Shen Yanzhou looked at Su Miaoyi: "My family adheres to the principle of treating everyone equally. If we don't pressure her, we won't pressure me either."

Su Miaoyi nodded.

“I talked to my dad about this last time. I asked them to stop pressuring me, but he said that when he reached his age and I reached mine, if he didn’t pressure me to get married, we wouldn’t have anything to talk about.” Zhuang Yanzheng looked speechless. “He also said that every time he pressures me, he finds my expression very funny.”

Su Miaoyi and Shen Yanzhou laughed.

Zhuang Yanzheng felt a headache coming on. He didn't want to spend the weekend; he wanted to go to his office.

I want to go to work, but I pray there will be no crime, no cases.

Shen Yanzhou's phone rang.

As he answered the phone, Zhuang Yanzheng took Shen Yanzhou's chopsticks and snatched away a shredded carrot that Su Miaoyi had just placed down.

Su Miaoyi looked up and stepped on his foot.

Zhuang Yanzheng stopped moving.

Su Miaoyi put down another shredded carrot, and then Zhuang Yanzheng took it away.

Shen Yanzhou continued the phone call, watching the two of them. One of them put the phone down, and the other immediately grabbed it, which was very childish.

Finally, when Zhuang Yanzheng reached out to pick up the carrot shreds, Su Miaoyi put them in his hand.

"Huh!" Zhuang Yanzheng was taken aback.

Su Miaoyi smiled.

Shen Yanzhou hung up the phone and said, "Naive."

After saying that, he asked again, "Would you like some more?"

"I'm full," Zhuang Yanzheng asked. "Where are we going?"

"I've made plans to play golf," Shen Yanzhou said. "Do you want to come along?"

"I'm not going," Zhuang Yanzheng refused.

Shen Yanzhou looked at Su Miaoyi.

"I have plans," Su Miaoyi said. "I'm going to Xingrou's house."

“Then I’ll go to Lu Zhishen’s house to play,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"You finally get a day off, do you think he welcomes you?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Zhuang Yanzheng chuckled: "I'm only going because I'm not welcome. Yan Cheng would definitely welcome me, but I won't go."

Su Miaoyi gave him a thumbs up: "You're good, you're amazing."

"Should we go up and tell Aunt Yan and the others?" Shen Yanzhou asked.

"No need," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "I told them I had work to do. I'm leaving."

"Here, take this." Su Miaoyi took a lighter out of her pocket and gave it to him.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her, then hesitated before taking it: "What do you mean? Evidence?"

Su Miaoyi: ".Gift".

Zhuang Yanzheng was surprised. He looked at the lighter, then at Su Miaoyi: "Didn't you forbid us from smoking? You actually gave me a lighter!" "I had this specially made. It has a character design drawn by Lu Zhishen for you on it," Su Miaoyi said. "It's made just for you."

Lu Zhishen drew chibi-style character designs for them, and each one looked very similar, so much so that you could tell who was who at a glance.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her, hardly believing it, and felt a vague unease in his heart.

"Open it and see if it works," Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at the lighter again, and then at the chibi character design on it, before opening the lighter's lid.

As soon as it was opened, the chibi-style character's hair was covered up along with the lighter.

All that was left was a small, bald head.

Zhuang Yanzheng and the bald boy faced each other: "."

It felt like my hair was being lifted up, and I even felt a cold breeze on my scalp.

Shen Yanzhou, who had been watching the spectacle, finally burst out laughing.

Zhuang Yanzheng took a deep breath: "Su Miaoyi!"

Su Miaoyi laughed as she walked out.

Shen Yanzhou patted Zhuang Yanzheng on the shoulder and took out a lighter from his pocket.

The same chibi-style figure was drawn by Lu Zhishen.

After opening the lighter's cap, all that remained was a bald head.

"The same."

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Suddenly I felt a sense of balance."

Shen Yanzhou smiled and said, "Next time, tell Lu Zhishen not to draw the character design so realistically."

“Okay.” Zhuang Yanzheng touched his hair. “I have a full head of black hair, I won’t go bald.”

“Who isn’t?” Shen Yanzhou said, “but you often stay up late, so it’s hard to say.”

"Get out," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“Seriously, bro. Maybe if you go bald, your family won’t keep pressuring you to find a girlfriend,” Shen Yanzhou said.

Zhuang Yanzheng sighed resignedly, "I became like this because I played with you two siblings. I was so well-behaved when I was a child."

Shen Yanzhou glanced at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? I've always been the honest one. It's the two of you who are like troublemakers."

"I'm the one who's being honest." Su Miaoyi appeared behind the two of them without them noticing, startling them.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her and said, "On this issue, the two of us can still argue, but you have no right to speak."

“That’s true,” Shen Yanzhou said.

Su Miaoyi said, "The weather is so nice today, perfect for going home and complaining."

“I’m all grown up now, I’m not afraid anymore,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"Then I'll go to your house and complain first." Su Miaoyi looked at him. As soon as she finished speaking, her pupils trembled slightly.

Zhuang Yanzheng and Shen Yanzhou watched as she suddenly switched personalities.

After switching personalities, Su Miaoyi looked at them without any expression.

They both felt that this personality didn't seem to like talking to them.

"What's going on? Why did your personality suddenly switch?" Zhuang Yanzheng was a little confused. "Did that other personality run home to complain?"

Su Miaoyi ignored the two of them, looked around, and then switched back.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Shen Yanzhou asked with some concern.

Although Su Miaoyi is very special, these two personalities are, after all, a kind of illness, and he is always a little worried.

Su Miaoyi shook her head, then a smile flashed in her eyes: "It's nothing. I probably missed you all and came out to say hello."

"Stop spreading rumors," the voice in my head said.

Hearing her voice, Su Miaoyi's lips curled up slightly.

It's been a long time since I returned from Changshi, and the voice in my head hasn't appeared. I call her, but she's not there.

She thought
Su Miaoyi smiled, walked to the restaurant entrance, but suddenly stopped.

Before Shen Yanzhou could finish speaking, Su Miaoyi said, "It's nothing."

But she didn't move.

Zhuang Yanzheng glanced at her, then whispered, "I feel like I'm here to work."

Shen Yanzhou fell silent.

The three of them stood there. When guests came out of the restaurant, Su Miaoyi pushed the two of them to the side and then remained silent.

After about five minutes, Su Miaoyi looked at Zhuang Yanzheng and said, "Captain Zhuang, let's go, there's a case."

"Is there a specific location?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked seriously in an instant.

“We need Lu Zhishen to draw the picture, Xingrou to determine the exact location, and Yan Cheng to call for help too, there’s more than one corpse,” Su Miaoyi said.

"understood."
