MTL - Taoist Master and the Cat-Chapter 30
The seven-day military training has produced visible effects on the first-year high school freshmen.
The physical improvement is not obvious yet, the skin has really turned black!
The students of the three grades were mixed together, and they could basically distinguish the freshmen from the first year of high school by their complexions. The black red after being exposed to the sun was simply a status symbol.
"Miaomiao, I'm so envious of you, you're not dark at all."
Before the recess exercises started, Yu Le chatted next to Su Miaomiao, looking at Su Miaomiao's still pale face for a while, and then at Su Miaomiao's neck for a while.
They all have a clear dividing line around their necks, but Su Miaomiao doesn't!
"We obviously wear the same sunscreen." Yu Le was still thinking about the reason.
The girls around also looked at Su Miaomiao with envious eyes, and wanted to hear Su Miaomiao's whitening secrets by the way.
Su Miaomiao: "It has nothing to do with sunscreen, I'm not born with suntan."
The secret of cultivation cannot be revealed, Su Miaomiao can only tell everyone this.
Demon cultivators like them, once their spiritual wisdom is activated, they will naturally learn to practice, and even when they are in a deep sleep state, the exercises they practice will automatically operate, unlike human monks, who must meditate in an orderly manner.
During the military training, Su Miaomiao may indeed have sunburned a little during the day, but after sleeping at night, the meager spiritual energy absorbed quietly improved her physique. Without the accumulation of aura in the body, naturally it would not be able to support them to cast spells.
Standing in front of Su Miaomiao, Wang Min did not accept Su Miaomiao's reasons. She also had evidence: "Xie Jingyuan, Gu Jialing, and Xu Shou didn't get tanned either. You four must have a special whitening method when you are together every day."
Xie Jingyuan and Gu Jialing both have cool fair skin, while Xu Shou has a healthy dark complexion, which is even from face to arms to legs. This is his natural gene.
One person can be tanned, four people have this kind of physique, who can believe it?
Su Miaomiao: "No, if you don't believe me, ask the class monitor."
Wang Min blushed, she had the nerve to find a boy to ask such a question.
Yu Le kept next to Su Miaomiao during the military training, she believed: "It should be a natural beauty, like I would reapply some sunscreen after sweating, Miaomiao has never re-applied."
Another female classmate: "Maybe Su Miaomiao and the others use sunscreen that works really well. Miaomiao, which brand do you use and where did you buy it?"
Su Miaomiao: "I don't know, my mother gave it to me."
Female classmate: "Then you go home and ask auntie, and then tell us, okay?"
Su Miaomiao: "Yes."
After a day of class, it will be Saturday soon.
The rule of No. 1 Middle School is that the first and second year of senior high school have weekends, and the third year of high school only has Sunday.
Su Miaomiao took a good long sleep.
Woke up at 9:30, Mom and Dad went to work, Su Miaomiao ate breakfast alone, and then went to ring the doorbell of 1002.
The Taoist priest promised her that he would take her to buy sapphire earrings during the holidays and play tennis with her.
Almost as soon as the doorbell rang, Gu Jialing jumped up from the sofa and ran over to open the door for her.
"Why did you sleep for so long?"
Seeing Su Miaomiao, Gu Jialing complained first: "We had breakfast at 7:30, if it wasn't for waiting for you, we'd all be in the mall now!"
The Daoist is a eccentric cat. They are not allowed to sleep in on weekends, but they allow the cat to sleep until it wakes up naturally!
Don't say it's because Su Miaomiao lives in 1001, if the Taoist priest didn't stop him, he would have climbed out of Su Miaomiao's window to take pictures!
Although he can't fly, climbing windows from tall buildings is not difficult for him.
Su Miaomiao looked at him suspiciously: "Are you going to the mall too?"
Gu Jialing became even more angry: "Why, the Taoist priest won't buy it for me, and won't allow me to buy it myself?"
Su Miaomiao: "Since you have money, why don't you go by yourself? The priest should wait for me, and I didn't ask you to wait."
Gu Jialing: ...
Su Miaomiao narrowed her eyes slightly: "Or, do you also want the Taoist priest to pay for it for you?"
Gu Jialing: "I have money, I don't care for it!"
"Let's go." Xie Jingyuan came out from the study, and said to the two who were arguing at the door.
Only then did Xu Shou turn off the TV series of urban giants that was playing, and walked behind Xie Jingyuan.
Su Miaomiao glanced at the living room: "Where's grandma?"
Xie Jingyuan: "Go to the park."
In the past few years, Grandma Tao has fallen in love with square dancing. After moving, Grandma Tao quickly integrated into a group of old ladies in this area, and has already bought three sets of dance costumes.
Xie Jingyuan taught Grandma Tao a set of Taoist kung fu to prolong life, but the rhythm was too slow to keep up with the rhythm of those popular songs. Grandma Tao basically only practiced at home, so as not to be out of tune with other old ladies in the square.
Gu Jialing called his driver over.
The black luxury car was parked outside the community, four people came to the car, Xie Jingyuan opened the door first, let Su Miaomiao sit in the back row, and then he sat next to Su Miaomiao.
Relying on his strong physique, Xu Shou squeezed Gu Jialing away, and as soon as he sat down, he closed the rear door.
Gu Jialing gritted her teeth and went to the passenger seat.
The driver gave him a worried look.
Obviously this is the Gu family's car, why are the three classmates so rude?
Just as the driver had this thought, Su Miaomiao in the back row was squeezed by Xie Jingyuan. She looked at Xu Shou and said unhappily: "Let Gu Jialing sit in the back, Xu Shou is taking up too much space."
Although she likes the smell of Xie Jingyuan, that doesn't mean she likes being squeezed by Xie Jingyuan.
When resting, Su Miaomiao likes to occupy the entire sofa by herself, and likes to sleep on a big bed by herself.
Her meaning was too obvious, Xie Jingyuan silently moved towards Xu Shou.
Xu Shou only wanted to protect the Taoist priest, and realized that his body size had brought inconvenience to the Taoist priest, so he changed positions with Gu Jialing without hesitation.
Gu Jialing proudly said: "Isn't it inconvenient for you to grow so strong?"
Xu Shou ignored him, serious and introverted, like a professional bodyguard.
The driver looked at Gu Jialing's sunny smiling face, and completely swallowed his worries.
After ten o'clock, the four of them arrived at Longxing Building, one of the landmark buildings in Anshi.
Here you can find famous brands at home and abroad, including jewelry, clothing, gourmet food, etc.
Gu Jialing was most familiar with this place, and took the initiative to lead the three of them to the jewelry area on the second floor.
Su Miaomiao seldom visits jewelry stores, because Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei are afraid of their daughter's love for jewelry. If the daughter can restrain herself and only pick one or two pieces, that's all. But wanting to cruelly reject their daughter's expectant eyes, the couple simply put the jewelry store on the blacklist of parent-child activities, a sad place destined to disappoint their daughter.
Before entering the store, Xie Jingyuan emphasized to Su Miaomiao: "Just buy one earring."
Su Miaomiao nodded obediently.
The four of them officially stepped in.
The building opened at ten o'clock in the morning, and the four of them came early, and they were the first wave of customers of this jewelry store.
Three men and one woman, all about fifteen or sixteen years old, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful.
Several female shop assistants were dumbfounded. After the stay, they took out their mobile phones to secretly take pictures, and were going to show off to their friends that it was like a big star visiting the store.
In Su Miaomiao's eyes, only the cabinets of jewels remained.
Her eyes seemed to be drawn, and she was stuck by every jewel, and her steps became slower and slower, her fair and beautiful face was almost attached to the glass surface of the counter.
Gu Jialing is different, he only has a soft spot for sea blue jewelry.
Xu Shou has no interest in jewelry, and follows Su Miaomiao... Xie Jingyuan next to him.
"Look at her, I'm going to buy earrings."
Xie Jingyuan told Xu Shoudao that he was going to leave after buying the earrings, otherwise the mall would be closed when Su Miaomiao finished visiting all the jewelry.
"Daozhang, how much does uncle give you for living expenses a month?"
Just as Xie Jingyuan stood still in front of the sapphire jewelry display case, Gu Jialing approached in a fawning manner. Now he also understands the situation, the Gu family is just a local tyrant, and the Xie family is the richest.
Xie Jingyuan: "I don't know."
Xie Rong's money was directly handed over to Grandma Tao. Since Xie Jingyuan opened his own card, he has never asked Grandma Tao for money. Instead, he regularly transfers money to Grandma Tao.
Gu Jialing automatically understood that Xie Rong gave too much living expenses, and the Taoist priest had already saved so much that he forgot the exact amount.
"Master Dao, my living expenses for this month have been used up, why don't you support me first?"
Xie Jingyuan glanced at him: "What do you want to buy? If it is a necessary item for high school students, I can pay for it for you."
Gu Jialing: "..."
Xie Jingyuan ignored him and looked down. There were sapphire earrings inside, but the style was different from Gu Jialing's.
Xie Jingyuan called Su Miaomiao: "You pick it yourself, or should I just buy it?"
Su Miaomiao finally gave up those jewels that could only be seen but not bought, and came to Xie Jingyuan's side.
There are all kinds of sapphire jewelry in the showcase, among which sapphire stud earrings belong to the smallest category.
Su Miaomiao pointed to a necklace inlaid with eight cat-eye-sized sapphires and diamonds in the middle: "Master Daoist, I..."
Xie Jingyuan said coldly: "No, you can only choose earrings, earrings are not acceptable."
Su Miaomiao bit her lower lip and looked at him pitifully with big eyes.
She knew that every time she behaved like this, her parents would have the heart to refuse, and even if they refused, they would secretly feel guilty.
Xie Jingyuan frowned.
Seeing that this method seemed to be useful, Gu Jialing hurriedly imitated Su Miaomiao's posture and looked over pitifully.
Xie Jingyuan's slightly frowned brows relaxed again, and his voice became colder: "It's fine if you don't buy it."
Su Miaomiao pouted angrily, pushed away Gu Jialing who was in the way, and began to carefully compare the sizes of gemstones on several earrings.
Gu Jialing could only watch helplessly.
Although his family has a mine, the living expenses given by the old man can't support him to buy gems as he likes, and the earrings have been saved for a long time.
"Jing Yuan?"
A familiar female voice came over.
Xie Jingyuan turned his head and saw Qiao Lili walking towards the store together with two rich wives who were similar in appearance and temperament to her.
"This is our family, Jing Yuan, who just entered No. 1 Middle School this year." Qiao Lili introduced to her two companions with a smile as she walked.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li looked at the three boys in amazement.
Men love to see beautiful women, and women also love to see handsome men, handsome men of all ages and types.
Xie Jingyuan nodded towards Qiao Lili, but did not call anyone.
Qiao Lili smiled helplessly.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li expressed understanding with their eyes. The stepmother and stepson are harmonious if they don't hate each other.
"Are you here to accompany Miaomiao shopping?" Qiao Lili glanced at Su Miaomiao, who hadn't noticed her at all, and asked with a smile.
Xie Jingyuan: "Yes."
Qiao Lili looked at Gu Jialing and Xu Shou: "These are the two new classmates who moved to live with you?"
Xie Jingyuan: "Yes."
Xu Shou still had that stern face, while Gu Jialing liked to laugh, and he didn't show much enthusiasm for the Taoist's stepmother.
Qiao Lili went to talk to Su Miaomiao: "Which one is Miaomiao looking for?"
Su Miaomiao happened to have a choice, and looked at Xie Jingyuan: "I want this."
Xie Jingyuan looked at the price tag. Because the gems are bigger and the diamonds are more, the price of this model has exceeded 100,000.
But he agreed to let Su Miaomiao choose by herself.
Xie Jingyuan asked the female clerk to wrap it up, and he followed to pay.
Qiao Lili narrowed her eyes slightly, how much Xie Rong gave Xie Jingyuan's living expenses, did he know that Xie Jingyuan bought such a luxury for Su Miaomiao at a young age?
Xu Shouze caught Qiao Lili's small eyes.
In his previous life, he had seen a stepmother drive out her stepson and stepdaughter during meals, and only allowed her own children to eat at the same table.
That's just an ordinary family in a small village, Xie Rong is so rich, will the Taoist priest's stepmother fight against the Taoist priest for the family property?
In short, Xu Shou will not give Qiao Lili a chance, it should belong to the Taoist priest, and if the Taoist priest does not dispute, he will also keep his due share for the Taoist priest.
After buying the earrings, Xie Jingyuan took the initiative to go to the clothing store and bought two sets of summer clothes and four sets of autumn clothes for Xu Shou from a cheap sports brand.
This time, if Gu Jialing wanted it again, Xie Jingyuan bought it for him too.
Su Miaomiao looked at the bags they were carrying, and said casually, "So many."
Gu Jialing stared over: "The sum of the two of us is not as good as your fraction."
Don't try to hide his eccentricity with this method!
Su Miaomiao didn't understand why he was angry, so she said that Gu Jialing also had earrings, and Xu Shou didn't even envy her.
She turned to Xie Jingyuan: "Okay, let's go play tennis."
Xie Jingyuan looked at his watch. It was past eleven o'clock, and he said, "Eat first, and then call in the afternoon."
Su Miaomiao touched her belly: "I'm not hungry yet."
Gu Jialing: "Of course you're not hungry, what time did you get up, we finished eating at 7:30!"
He and Xu Shou ate a lot of meat anyway, and the Taoist priest only ate the steamed buns and vegetables, no wonder he wasn't hungry.
Su Miaomiao was beaten up several times by him, and finally got angry, she glared at him and said, "If you keep arguing, I'll pluck your hair off."
Gu Jialing covered her head in an instant and hid behind Xie Jingyuan.
When four high school students walked along the shopping mall to choose a restaurant for lunch, Qiao Lili called Xie Rong.
Xie Rong had just finished a multi-person meeting and was resting on the sofa. When he saw the caller ID, he frowned first, and then pressed to answer.
Qiao Lili's tone was lively: "Guess who I met in Longxing?"
Xie Rong rubbed his forehead: "Who?"
Qiao Lili: "Jing Yuan, he and Miao Miao took two new friends out to the shopping mall. Speaking of which, they just finished military training, so they don't seem to be tanned at all."
Xie Rong was more interested in this topic and asked, "How about the two new classmates?"
Qiao Lili: "They all look pretty good-looking, as cool as Jing Yuan."
Cool, just not polite.
Xie Rong took it for granted that his son was indifferent to him, so it's strange that he was warm to Qiao Lili.
Qiao Lili suddenly said bitterly: "Jing Yuan is more interesting than you, he knows how to buy gems for Miao Miao at such a young age, and I envy Miao Miao when I look at it."
Xie Rong immediately understood the real intention of Qiao Lili's call, and his voice became cold: "I have something to do, so I won't talk about it."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Rong snorted, and laughed again after a while.
Since Jing Yuan likes Miao Miao so much, as long as he maintains a good relationship with Miao Miao, his son will not be estranged from him.
