Mass disappearance (Part 1)

  "Little three, eat more."

  Teacher Mei kept giving Wang Jian dishes, and the way she looked at him was incredibly intimate, making even Tianran Er feel a strange feeling.

  The little girl was even more sour and silent, eating quietly, occasionally stealing a glance at her mother, then continuing to eat dryly.

  "Niu Niu, you can't be like this." Teacher Mei patted her daughter: "When Mommy and this brother knew each other, you didn't even exist yet."

  The little girl didn't seem to appreciate it, shook her head, dodged Teacher Mei's hand, hummed a sound, and continued eating.

  " Spoiled rotten." Ms. Mei smiled at Wang Jian: "How did you two meet?"

  "Her?" Wang Jian glanced at Tian Ran Er: "On the bus..."

  He suddenly gasped and then came back to his senses, blinking twice: "He was a pervert at that time."

  "Stop talking nonsense." Wang Jian helplessly rolled his eyes: "Obviously it was you who sprayed milk all over me, okay?"

  "You kept staring at me back then and said I looked like an actor!"

  "That's what you imagined yourself, I didn't say anything."

  "You definitely said it." Tian Ran nodded solemnly: "I remember very clearly, you said it!"

  Teacher Mei watched the two of them arguing over such a trivial matter, but didn't say anything. She just smiled and kept serving dishes to both of them. Only when they had almost finished arguing did she speak up and ask:

  "Where does Xiao San live now?"

  "In the garage." Wang Jian didn't hide anything at all: "It's pretty cheap. The location is also quite good."

  "He's even my neighbor." Tian Ran chuckled: "I take him with me to work every day."

  Teacher Mei was taken aback and looked back and forth at Tianran Er and Wang Jian: "You two didn't live together?"

  "No!"

  The two of them shouted in unison, as if afraid that others would misunderstand. Then Wang Jian said very matter-of-factly: "How can we live together? It's really inconvenient. Anyway, the place where I'm living now is much better than my university dorm."

  Ms. Mei's hands were flat on the table, looking at Wang Jian with great surprise and asking: "Why do you live in a place like that? With your abilities..."

  Wang Jian shook his head: "This is a different story. I can't go and rob."

  Tianran Er and Wang Jian chimed in unison: "Exactly! Exactly!"

  "So, do you have a job now? Want to come and help me?" Teacher Mei smiled: "No privilege, also starting from the bottom, but I can pay your salary in advance."

  Wang Jian didn't think much. He shook his head decisively and refused: "No need, my current job is pretty good, don't worry about it, just call me if you have anything."

  "That's for sure."

  Miss Mei's expression of taking it for granted made Wang Jian feel particularly comfortable, and as far as Wang Jian was concerned, the only people who could be considered relatives were A Ying, that naughty and mischievous one, and Miss Mei.

  "Speaking of which, Teacher Mei. What are you doing now?" Wang Jian looked around with a hint of teasing: "Such a big house. You're rich."

  "You'd better stop bothering me." Teacher Mei smiled graciously: "Actually, all these businesses belong to my husband. I just opened a few beauty salons. If you can't be financially independent, then your personality can't be independent either."

  Wang Jian nodded and said, "This is more like you. Where's your husband? What does he do?"

  "You little scamp." Teacher Mei stretched out her hand and flicked Wang Jian's forehead: "Checking household registrations?"

  Tianran saw her action and suddenly understood where Wang Jian's habit of flicking people's foreheads came from. Moreover, she also keenly discovered that when Wang Jian was chatting with this Mei teacher, he was the only one who didn't avoid eye contact. With her emotional intelligence, she really didn't know why such a situation would occur, but she could keenly sense that Wang Jian had a very special feeling towards this Mei teacher.

  But now she really didn't dare ask, so she could only look foolishly at Wang Jian and Teacher Mei chatting about something she had no idea about.

  "Oh..." Wang Jian's face lit up after listening to Teacher Mei's explanation: "No wonder they're so rich. Import and export trade, huh."

  "It's all right." Mei teacher smiled and said, "He's been good to me, so stop prying. Are you trying to get something out of my mouth that he's not good to me, and then beat him up? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, young man."

  Wang Jian touched his head: "It's not as exaggerated as you said."

  After finishing speaking, Wang Jian glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and said: "Teacher Mei, I really have to go now. I still have a class at the martial arts hall tonight."

  "Let's go." Teacher Mei didn't hesitate at all: "I'll take you there."

  "No need to bother." Wang Jian took out his phone: "I'll just get a friend to come pick us up."

  "Teacher Mei was displeased as soon as she heard it: 'Are you so distant with me?'"

  "That's not what I meant..." Wang Jian hastily explained: "It's dark now, and running around everywhere is very dangerous."

  "Alright, alright." Teacher Mei sighed: "This is really not afraid of, but I know your temper, if you don't want to go, then just don't go. Come back on Sunday for dinner, I'll make cola chicken wings for you, I remember they're your favorite."

  Wang Jian nodded: "Alright."

  After finishing speaking, he stood up and helped Tian Ran Er get up, then walked out. When saying goodbye to the little girl, but only got a cold eye, he could only walk out slowly with a wry smile.

  Ms. Mei accompanied them all the way and saw them off at the crossroads, seemingly wanting to wait with him for Dawei.

  "You're not waiting in the house, what are you running out for?" Teacher Mei complained to Wang Jian: "You're getting more and more polite with me now."

  "It's not what I meant, I just wanted to come out for a walk." Wang Jian said straightforwardly: "The air is good at this time."

  "Suit yourself." Ms. Mei seemed to deeply understand Wang Jian's personality, and she didn't say much more, just nodding: "Next time you come, bring Ruo Lin along too."

  "Uh..." Tianran nodded slightly, her face flushing: "Okay..."

  Wang Jian coughed awkwardly twice: "You go back. The child is afraid of being alone."

  "Go." Teacher Mei patted Wang Jian's shoulder, gave him a fierce stare, then leaned in close to his ear and whispered: "This girl has potential, you'd better take the initiative! Did you hear me?"

  Wang Jian was taken aback and looked away with a hint of embarrassment. He forced himself to sound stern, saying: "Hurry back, quickly!"

  "She's gone." Teacher Mei chuckled and walked back, occasionally turning her head to glance at Wang Jian. When she turned the corner, she didn't forget to shout: "Sunday, remember to come!"

  Watching her disappear around the corner. Wang Jian finally let out a sigh of relief: "Take a walk or have Dawei come now?"

  "I want to go for a walk!" Tian Ran Er thought for a moment: "But I'm too lazy..."

  "Aren't you just trying to get me to carry you?" Wang Jian smiled and shook his head. Then he half-knelt down: "Come on, come on."

  She smiled naturally, then laboriously crawled onto Wang Jian's lap, softly lying on top of him, her chin resting on his shoulder: "Ah Jian, Teacher Mei is very close to you, huh?"

  "Hmm..." Wang Jian nodded: "I had a crush on her during middle school and high school too, I told you about it."

  "It's her!" Tian Ran's body trembled: "She is really beautiful."

  "Hmm, but now that I've seen her, I don't have those thoughts anymore. She seems just like a sister." Wang Jian was an honest person and never spoke in a roundabout way: "But she's even more beautiful than before. More beautiful than you."

  "Nonsense!" Tianran Er was unhappy at once: "I'm definitely prettier than her!"

  Don't look at Tianran Er being silly all the time, but she's actually a very narcissistic person. Every time someone mentions the word "beautiful", she has to relate it to herself. Of course, when Wang Jian said that Mei Laoshi is more beautiful than Tianran Er, he was just teasing her on purpose. If we simply use public aesthetic standards to measure, Mei Laoshi isn't as stunning as Tianran Er, but she wins with the kind of mature woman's temperament - gentle, tolerant, optimistic and wise. Although Tianran Er also has these qualities, most of the time she's just like a simple and kind little girl. Even though she's already 27 years old, Wang Jian can only treat her as a young little girl; if he were to demand from her the same behavior as Mei Laoshi, she would definitely go crazy.

  "Ah Jian Ah Jian." Tian Ran Er suddenly shook his head: "Do you have a crush on any girl?"

  Wang Jian was stunned at that time, hesitated for half a day, and then stammered: "No..."

  The sky was already dark at that time, but he still asked relentlessly: "Then think again carefully."

  "What's the point of thinking about this carefully? If it doesn't exist, then it just doesn't." Wang Jian continued to be stubborn: "Why are you asking this?"

  "Nothing..."

  This kind of seemingly foolish dialogue can only occur between Wang Jian and Tianran, a pair of weirdos. After all, everyone else has already seen through their little tricks, and it's likely that the whole world, except for these two individuals, has already figured out what's going on. But these two people, one is hesitant and indecisive, while the other is in a state of confusion, neither of them wants to be the first to break the news.

  "Ah Jian, I'm asking you." Tian Ran wrapped her arms around Wang Jian's neck: "Don't men all dislike girls who are older than themselves?"

  "Hmm..." Wang Jian thought for a moment: "I think it's nothing, men have shorter lives and die earlier. If you find someone much younger, in the end, only she will be left alone, won't that be very lonely?"

  "Really?" Tian Ran's eyes sparkled: "Then what do you think of Ya Xuan? Do you like her?"

  "How come you always ask this kind of thing?" Wang Jian furrowed his brow, others would joke about it, but when Tian Ran Er said it, he felt inexplicably annoyed: "Is there anything else to say?"

  Tianran saw him getting angry and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of euphoria, then continued to ask relentlessly: "Where's Xiao Hui? She likes you so much."

  "Did you eat too much at night?" Wang Jian popped her forehead with one hand: "I'm not a pervert."

  Although Tianran Er was hit quite painfully, her mood was like a raging fire of dry straw, surging and churning non-stop on Wang Jian's back: "Hey Ah Jian, do you like me?"

  Wang Jian was stunned on the spot, then suddenly became speechless and walked slowly along the main road with his head down. But Tianran Er didn't let up: "I'm asking you! I'm asking you!"

  "Be quiet!" Wang Jian scolded Tianran Er in a low voice: "Be quieter!"

  "No!" The naturally stubborn Er Gouzi also became stubborn: "You quickly speak."

  "What's the difference whether you like it or not?"
