Advance and retreat together

There was a reason why Pei Shishi was so concerned about Jiang Fan's schedule.

Jiang Fan was aware of this, hence the hesitation.

However, after work, he still informed her of his itinerary and brought her along.

He waited for nearly half an hour under the girls' dormitory before Pei Shishi came down looking radiant.

Instead of sitting in the passenger seat, she opened the back door and got in the rear seat.

Jiang Fan turned his head and beckoned, "Come to the front."

Pei Shishi said, "I'm fine in the back."

Jiang Fan patiently instructed, "The back seat is not for you to sit in. There are many customary rules in the workplace. Even the seating arrangement in someone else's car matters. If it's just the two of us, if you sit in the back, does that make me your driver?"

"Ah?"

Pei Shishi was a bit stunned, not understanding the situation.

Jiang Fan then explained to her some of the etiquette for sitting in a car.

Pei Shishi was a bit dazed, so she had to get out of the car and sit in the passenger seat.

However, after waiting for a while, she saw Jiang Fan looking at her, but he showed no sign of starting the car.

"Is there a problem?"

Pei Shishi was a bit nervous again, feeling that the workplace is so hard.

Jiang Fan didn't speak, turned to her side and fastened her seat belt for her.

Pei Shishi was flustered again, her pretty face turned red.

It wasn't until Jiang Fan started the car that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Wenwen went house hunting today and didn't want to return to the chemical industry zone at night. Firstly, it was too far and tiring to go back and forth, and secondly, she had had enough of the smell of the chemical industry zone. She planned to stay at the house rented by Jiang Fan tonight, so she had to ask Jiang Fan if he was going to Century Park after work.

If he comes, she will come along.

She needs to stand together with her sister, can't give others a chance to take advantage...

By the time they arrived at Century Park, it was already half past seven, and the sun was about to set.

Just in time for the evening rush hour, the road was jammed.

Pei Wenwen was so hungry that her stomach was in knots. She found a small restaurant for dinner, after which Jiang Fan took the sisters shopping. They had to equip the kitchen utensils for cooking, pots and pans were bought earlier, but rice, flour, grains, oil, and condiments were still not bought yet!

Pei Shishi was quite puzzled, "Brother Jiang, are you planning to cook by yourself?"

Jiang Fan nodded, "We have to save cost, can't always eat out every day, even the landlord's house has no surplus grain, right?"

"..."

The sisters looked at each other, thinking that he was a bit strange.

When ordering in a restaurant, he always picks the expensive dishes, and he doesn't seem to feel the pinch when paying the bill.

Now he's being stingy, it's hard to understand.

They bought a bunch of things and went upstairs. The oil drums and grain bags were all carried by the sisters, while Jiang Fan only carried two light bags, containing some bagged condiments and such. It looked like a big pack, but it actually had no weight. The heavy stuff was all carried by the sisters!

Pei Shishi and Pei Wenwen exchanged glances, thinking this was extremely ungentlemanly.

From time to time, they glanced at him, their eyes filled with meaning.

But Jiang Fan had strong defenses, and didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he made some sarcastic comments, "You girls need to exercise more. Carrying a 10-pound bag of rice is like carrying a mountain for you. This is not good. Your health is the most important capital for revolution."

Pei Wenwen couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Jiang, you're a man!"

Jiang Fan was puzzled, "What's the connection between letting you exercise and me being a man?"

With both hands holding things, Pei Wenwen wanted to beat him, but she couldn't spare a hand, so she just grumbled, "What kind of a man buys things and carries the light ones and let the girl carry the heavy ones? You have no gentlemanliness at all!"

Jiang Fan was quite surprised, "Is doing manual labor gentlemanly? Are you guys misunderstanding something? A man's gentlemanliness is about whether he can stand in front of a woman at critical moments. If manual labor is considered gentlemanly, then construction workers should be the most gentlemanly, right?"

"..."

The sisters' foreheads were pounding, he was truly arguing forcefully.

When they went upstairs and into the house, Jiang Fan threw everything aside and went straight into the master bedroom, leaving the sisters to tidy up.

The sisters looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Sis, did he treat us as nannies or maids?"

"That's because you were hot-headed and agreed to work for him."

"My job doesn't include being his nanny!"

"Then go tell him clearly."

Pei Wenwen thought for a moment, and got a little annoyed.

Forget it.

Bear with it for a little longer!

Wait until the debt is paid off, and then he will fire Jiang.

In the master bedroom.

Jiang Fan was video chatting with his younger sister Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin was two years younger than him. Due to her late start in school, she had just graduated from undergraduate school at 23. However, Jiang Xin was quite diligent in her studies. Although her college entrance examination was average and she only got into an ordinary college, she suddenly brightened up during college and was admitted to Renmin University for graduate school. Recently, she has been studying at home, and she still has a long time before school starts. Thinking and acting in quietude, she plansed to travel to Magic City.

"There's nothing good in Magic City. You better not come."

Jiang Fan doesn't want his sister to come to the Magic City, not because they don't get along well, but because his sister has a strong mind and doesn't put her brother in her eyes. She likes to dictate everything and this makes Jiang Fan a bit impatient with her.

"Why?"

Jiang Xin immediately questioned. "Bro, are you doing something shady? Why don't you let me come to Magic City?"

"What nonsense!"

Jiang Fan scolded her, "Can't you just stay at home? Why run to Magic City? Dad's salary is just over four thousand per month, and also have to sponsor you for three years of graduate school. The cost of living in Magic City is so high. What are you traveling for?"

Jiang Xin said, "Don't you still have you? Aren't you going to feed and house me?"

Jiang Fan said, "What are you thinking? I only make a little over three thousand a month. What can I do for you?"

Jiang Xin complained, "Aren't you my brother?"

Jiang Fan complained, "You'll have to ask mom and dad about it. Anyway, don't come to bother me in Magic City."

Jiang Xin was distraught, feeling that having or not having this brother are the same.

She ended the video chat and went to her parents to complain.

Jiang Fan didn't care and continued to go online and busy himself.

He doesn't step out of the door until time for bed except for going to the bathroom.

Honest.

Unassuming.

No sneaky tricks.

No causing trouble.

A standard gentleman.

Pei Shishi and Pei Wenwen felt relieved, thinking that he was okay.

On the following day.

Jiang Fan woke up early, getting up at half past six.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, the girls' room was still quiet.

He knocked on the door, "Get up quick. Why are you still sleeping? Two lazy pigs."

Pei Wenwen was very dissatisfied, "It's still so early. Are you trying to kill us?"

Jiang Fan was also quite dissatisfied, "Why are you so sleepy? Get up quickly and do some research with me."

There was a rustling noise in the room, and nearly twenty minutes later, the sisters came out yawning.

Pei Wenwen muttered in a low voice, "It's not even seven o'clock yet. His heart is even darker than that of Huang Shiren (a typical villain in a Chinese novel).

Pei Shishi quickly nodded in agreement.

After finally reaching the weekend, they couldn't even sleep in.

What a villain.

Jiang Fan urged, "Hurry up and wash your face. You've slept for ten hours from nine to seven. Where does all this sleepiness come from?"

Pei Wenwen hurriedly defended, "Where is ten hours? We didn't go to bed until very late."

Jiang Fan asked, "What were you doing instead of going to bed early?"

Pei Wenwen answered naturally, "Playing with our phones!"

Jiang Fan asked, "Did I let you stay up playing with your phones?"

"..."

The sisters were too tired to retort and went to wash their faces while yawning.
