Chapter 31: Shopping with a beautiful lady

Tuesday.

The money in the trading account could not be withdraw on the same day. Shin jian got to wait for the next day to transfer his money into his bank account. Zhou Changchun had gone to the hospital for his follow up and was not in office. Shin jian took the opportunity to leave the for lunch earlier and went to ICBC bank to transfer 3,000 RMB to his mother's account. He wanted his mother to have a better life.

After transferring the money. Shin jian called his mother on his mobile phone.

Ring, ring, ring. A woman answered the phone. "Hello, Hui Tian Secondary school."

Shin jian replied: "Hi, I am looking for Luan Xiaoping."

"You are looking for Teacher Luan? Please hold the line." The woman was silent for a while before shouting: "Teacher Luan, you have a phone call. It might be your son."

A few seconds later, Shin jian's mother answered the phone. "Xuebing?"

Shin jian sat down on a blue plastic chair in ICBC bank's waiting area. "Mum, are you having lunch now? I have just gotten my pay and have just transferred 3,000 RMB to you. If you are free go and withdraw it from the bank. The weather has turn cold recently. Buy a coat or something. Just treat it as a gift from me." His mother had lost a lot of money in the stock market in the past. Shin jian knows that if he told his mother that he had made money from trading, his mother would surely be worried. He also can't explain his special ability BACK to her. So, he decided to keep it from her.

Shin jian's mother grumbled. "I don't need your money. I still have money with me. You should keep it for yourself."

Shin jian replied: "The money has been transferred. Stop nagging at me."

Shin jian's mother sighed. "Then…... okay. But next time don't send me any money. My salary is still enough for me. You should save your money. These few years we are poor, and I don't even have money to buy you new clothes. You have already started working in the government. You must give others a good impression. Throw those patched and torn clothes away and buy some new ones."

Shin jian looked down at his clothes. He was wearing a faded T-shirt. "Errr... Then I will go and buy some new clothes tonight."

Shin jian's mother wanted to save on the phone charges and she just ask Shin jian briefly about his work before hanging up.

Evening, after work.

On the bus back home, Shin jian send Xu Fanqia a message. "Are you working overtime today? I will prepare dinner and wait for you to return?" After sending the message, Shin jian felt blissful. How come this message feels like a couple sending to each other. Beep, beep. He was still day dreaming when Xu Fanqia replied. "Don't. Wait for me to return home and I will cook for you. Oh, there is no more vegetables at home. I don't know what you want to eat. How about you come over to my workplace to fetch me? It is almost time for me to get off work. We can go to the nearby market to buy some vegetables." Shin jian looked at the message and replied: "Okay."

Beijing 2nd Ring Road

Beijing Daily (Newspaper) Headquarters

Although Shin jian and Aunt Xuan were close these few years, but their relationship were only normal neighbors. But after Shin jian saved her life a few months back, they became closer and Shin jian knew more about her. Xu Fanqia had started a business with some friends after she graduated from University but the company closed down not long after. She then got a job with Beijing Daily's advertising division. She was now a team leader there.

10 minutes later. People starts to walk out of the building.

The was the first time Shin jian came to Xu Fanqia's work place. He also did not know which exit she will walk out from. He just stood there looking at the crowd trying to spot her.

Suddenly, Shin jian saw Xu Fanqia walking out from an office building not far away. Her hair was tied up in a bun and was wearing a white blouse, brown office skirt, stockings and black high heels. She was beautiful and Shin jian was mesmerised by her again. How come Aunt Xuan was so beautiful? Shin jian wondered.

"See you tomorrow, Team Leader Qu."

"Bye. See you tomorrow." Xu Fanqia nodded.

"Sister Qu, is the proposal which I told you yesterday ready?"

Xu Fanqia turned to that person: "Oh, Xiao Lu had completed it. You can talk to him tomorrow."

"Ok. Take care. Bye."

Xu Fanqia have the aura of a career woman. This was Shin jian's first time seeing the other side of her.

Xu Fanqia saw Shin jian and she walked quickly towards him. "Have you waited long? There is a waiting area inside. Why didn't you go in and wait for me there?"

Shin jian's eyes stop wondering around and said: "I am lazy to register."

Xu Fanqia laughed and pointed to a direction. "Let's go to the market and buy the food you want to eat."

While they were crossing the road, Shin jian noticed Xu Fanqia rubbing her shoulders and he asked: "Are you tired? You want me to help you carry your handbag?"

Xu Fanqia brought him to a market: "It's okay. I am getting paid to do work and I should be tired. When I started my own business, it was more tiring than now. Not only it was physically tiring, it was also mentally tiring." In front of the market store, Xu Fanqia changed from being a career woman to a housewife. "How much is your eggs? 4 RMB for 3? Then give me 1 Kg.... How much is your chicken wings? Oh... give me some of it..." Xu Fanqia bought the ingredients and then carry on the conversation with Shin jian. "It's a pity. I was young back then and didn't know a lot of things. If I have a company now, I am sure I will manage it better."

"Are you still thinking of setting up your own business?"

"Yes. But I do not have the capital now. Let me save up for a few years first."

Shin jian noticed that the both of them had similar goals. He wants to be a top official and she wants to make lots of money.

North Heping Street.

Shin jian wanted to help Xu Fanqia with the cooking. He was embarrassed for having her to cook for him every time. But Xu Fanqia chased him out of her house. She asked him to go back to have a shower first and change before dinner.

Unit 302, Xu Fanqia's house.

After blowing his hair dry, Shin jian rang the doorbell of Xu Fanqia's unit. The door opened, and he could smell the fragrance of beer chicken wings. He took in a deep breath and walked into the apartment. "Wow, it smells nice. Is the rice ready?" There were a few pipping hot dishes on the dinning table. Just looking at the food on the table made Shin jian hungry. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to start eating.

Xu Fanqia slapped the back of his hand playfully. "Wash your hands before you eat."

Shin jian retorted: "I had just taken a shower."

"You don't need to use your hand to knock on the door? You don't need to touch the door knob when you open the door?" Xu Fanqia poked his head. "Go and wash your hands now."

Shin jian rubbed his nose and walked into the kitchen.

Xu Fanqia, who was still wearing an apron, laughed. "When you come out, bring two pairs of chopsticks."

"Okay."

Aunt Xuan was great at cooking. She could be the head chef of any 5 stars restaurants. Shin jian ate until his belly could not hold anymore food. He burb and rubbed his bulging tummy on the sofa. Xu Fanqia was clearing up the dishes like a housewife. He felt he was really lucky and really wanted this feeling to last forever.

Whoever marries Aunt Xuan will definitely have a blissful life.

Shin jian was looking at Xu Fanqia's beautiful white thighs while she was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen. He was fantasizing about those legs when he realized the pair of legs coming closer and closer to him. "What are you thinking?" Xu Fanqia was standing in front of him.

Shin jian quickly look away. "Ermmm….. I had just gotten my salary. I wonder if you can accompany me to buy a few new clothes."

Xu Fanqia laughed and playfully pinched his cheeks. "Okay. Your Aunt here will help you choose some nice clothes and turn you into a handsome young man."

Shin jian replied shyly. "Stop making fun of me. With my looks, no matter what I wear will also not be good looking."

"Nonsense." Xu Fanqia slapped his head lightly. "I say you are handsome means you are handsome. Come, let's go to the mall."
