So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Old Mister Liu
Yang Ming grabbed the and looked at the publication date.
Year 1988 – First edition.
Year 1997 – Second edition.
Year 2008 – 36th edition.
This book was released before Yang Ming was born! Yang Ming was from the 90s, and this book was older than him by two years!
“Hehe, isn’t it surprising? The book had some history already?” The old man smiled as he looked at Yang Ming’s expression.
“En, yes. The book is two years older than me. Could it be outdated?” Yang Ming voiced out his concern.
“Outdated? Knowledge wouldn’t be outdated!” The old man shook his head and said, “Youngsters like you who buy books would always prefer the new editions! That wouldn’t be bad with fashion books. However, regarding books with knowledge, that wouldn’t be the case!
“For example, the addition and subtraction that we use in daily life were invented by our ancestors a few thousand years ago. Could you say that is outdated?
“Here’s another example. The poems from the Tang dynasty and the verses from the Song dynasty, are those out of date?
“Knowledge won’t be outdated. Take this book, for example. It was reprinted for the 36th time. This proves its value!”
Yang Ming nodded his head. Not bad. He truly had benefited a lot. Aside from that, the old man knew a lot about evaluating the quality of jade. Also, he shared a book that was suitable for Yang Ming. He was pretty happy. “Old man, thank you. I understand. I will study hard with this book!”
“En, initially, I wanted to explain more to you, however, I have something else I need to attend. This is my name card. If you have anything you don’t understand, just call my phone! It is rare to see a youngster who likes to learn more!” The old man took a card from his pocket and passed it to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming felt shameful with what the old man said. I don’t really like to study but, I study to earn money! However, he acted respectfully and accepted the name card from the old man with his two hands.
The name card was simplistic. It showed a name and a phone number without any other details such as occupation and address. It looked to be a private name card.
Those who gave name cards to others were usually successful people of some industry. They already disregarded fame and fortune!
Liu Weishan, Yang Ming had never heard this name before, but he reckoned that old man Liu must be an expert in the jade industry!
After he bid farewell to Liu Weishan, Yang Ming and Lan Ling browsed around the bookstore. Yang Ming simply skimmed books about Qigong[1] and special abilities. The content was only superficial. It wasn’t related to x-ray vision. However, Lan Ling’s sixth sense was mentioned in many books. The explanation basically was summarized as:
The ancient Greek scientist and philosopher, Aristotle, had thought about it a long time ago. Humans had five senses: vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. However, many people in life still believed in the existence of “instinct” or “the sixth sense” especially females. Did the “sixth sense” actually exist? The scientists still cannot provide us with an accurate answer.
Damn, what sort of explanation is this! Yang Ming was disappointed with what he read. Yang Ming could read in more detail on Qidian. The books in the bookstore didn’t seem to be professional.
“Lan Ling.” Yang Ming turned around and realized that Lan Ling wasn’t there. This girl, where did she go?
Finding a person in the bookstore was a challenge. The bookshelves blocked the line of sight. It wouldn’t be possible to see a person behind a bookshelf.
Of course, that was for normal people. This kind of obstacle was ineffective against Yang Ming! His eyes were like an x-ray telescope and cannot be compared to a normal person’s.
Yang Ming straightaway used his special ability. He quickly noticed that Lan Ling was behind a distant bookshelf focused on a book.
Yang Ming swiftly walked there. It seemed that Lan Ling was absorbed in it. She didn’t notice that Yang Ming suddenly appeared behind her.
“Lan Ling, what are you looking at? You are so absorbed in it!” Yang Ming slapped her but*.
“Ah!” Lan Ling was surprised. She was relieved when she found out it was Yang Ming. “You shocked me!”
“Heh?” Yang Ming saw the book in Lan Ling’s hand and couldn’t help but be surprised. . Damn, this little girl is quite audacious.
“Yang Ming, look at the positions and postures in the book. We haven’t tested them yet. How about we try them tonight?” suggested Lan Ling as she pointed at the pictures in the book.
Yang Ming quickly looked around after hearing that. Luckily, there wasn’t anyone next to them!
“Lan Ling, can’t you speak in a lower volume? It would be bad if others heard it!” Yang Ming reminded her.
“What is the problem? Don’t they do it at home? Also, isn’t this book published for people to read?” Lan Ling asked puzzled.
Yang Ming was flabbergasted. Is this girl acting on purpose! This is way too innocent.
“This is private between two people. It is better not to let other people know!” Yang Ming explained.
“Oh, then I will stop talking about it!” Lan Ling nodded. “Could we buy this book and bring it home?”
“Buy?” Yang Ming did not want to see the strange look from the cashier. He shook his head and said, “Forget about it. It is just theory and not practical. It is better to watch an adult movie!”
“Adult movie? Great, great. Can we watch it later tonight?” Lan Ling asked.
“En, we will talk about it once we go back.” Yang Ming thought, Is there a place to download it here?
When they left the bookstore, Yang Ming and Lan Ling found a concession stand. Before they left the hotel, the two of them had some fun there and digested all their lunch. In addition, they shopped around the bookstore for a long time. They were already hungry.
Cross the Bridge Noodles was one of the famous snacks in Yunnan! If someone came to Yunnan but missed the Crossing the Bridge Noodles shop, that would be a waste! Yang Ming had yet to try the Crossing the Bridge Noodles, so naturally, he wanted to grab a bite.
Lan Ling didn’t care much. She was a standard local. She ate it often yet she still loved to eat it.
The two of them ordered a large serving. A couple who ate out together had this perk. A big serving was far cheaper than two small portions. In addition, there was an extra type of meat and two more types of greens. There were one type of protein and three types of vegetables in a small serving. The large pot came with three types of meats and five types of greens.
If it were Yang Ming and Zhang Bing eating out together, they wouldn’t be able to share a pot of it! However, it was different with Lan Ling. The two of them had kissed and had s*x. Yang Ming wouldn’t mind Lan Ling’s “pee”, let alone saliva!
The two of them rushed to eat their delicious food. Lan Ling had big eyes but small stomach[2]. Before they dug in, she bet that she could finish half of it. In the end, however, she only ate a few bites, and she was full. Yang Ming finished the rest of it.
The noodles from this place were authentic. It was spicy and flavorful, so Yang Ming didn’t find it difficult to finish the food.
“Eat slowly!” Lan Ling laughed as she handed a napkin to Yang Ming. “Wipe your sweat!”
Yang Ming accepted the napkin. He raised his head and gazed into Lan Ling’s eyes which were full of tenderness and love. Yang Ming enjoyed the moment. It seemed those were the feelings of two people who were together!
Even though Yang Ming hung out with Chen Mengyan before, part of the barrier between them was still intact. Therefore, they were still modest to each other. That was another type of feeling!
As he thought of Chen Mengyan, Yang Ming became sad. Lan Ling, I could never have abandoned her. This girl was just like an adorable elf. Yang Ming would be thinking about loving her first. How could he not want her!
The key problem was what to do with Chen Mengyan. Not even talking about whether she would be able to accept Lan Ling, the “voodoo” problem was already hefty!
Yang Ming shook his head. He tried his best not to think about sad things. His belief in life was: when one door closes, another door will open. But how could that be? God might be looking after him. Yang Ming’s luck was exceptionally good.
“Lan Ling, how did Cross the Bridge Noodles get its name?” Yang Ming put the remaining half of the meat sauce into the noodle pot and finished it off.
“Hehe, when I was young, I asked this question to my grandmother! She told me that the legends said there was a scholar who studied very hard in a small house by the lakeside in order to obtain fame. His wife always brought food to this scholar, but by the time the food arrived, it became cold. Later, his wife thought of a solution. She prepared Chicken Soup Noodle because the thick chicken oil kept it warm. Therefore, the scholar could dig into the hot food. This later spread around. Since the wife needed to cross the bridge to deliver the food, it was named Cross the Bridge Noodles.” When Lan Ling finished speaking, she looked at the noodles in front of her in a trance. It was as if her eyes were charmed.
