Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

"So, we really are in the same boat. Tell me, what's going on here?"

Seeing Mark's face darken, Wang Xiaomi became more certain of her guess and continued to ask.

Not knowing whether he was gloating or getting what he wanted, Wang Xiaomi asked Mark and he laughed out loud.

"Go... Go away. What's so funny? You young people can break up, but can't we, who are middle-aged, get divorced?"

Although breakup and divorce have different degrees of severity and cannot be treated the same, they are both actually a breakdown of the relationship and cannot be said to have any essential difference.

"Yes, I didn't say no." Wang Xiaomi smiled and poured wine into the glasses of the two people.
"Here's to the two of us being single and free again."

"cheers."

Wang Xiaomi handed over the wine glass, and Mark had no way to refuse. He took the glass and clinked glasses with Wang Xiaomi.

"Why did you only drink so little? A toast means drinking it all. I, a girl, drank it all, why did you leave so much?"

"Girl, we're drinking wine, not beer."

"What's wrong with the red wine? Didn't I fill your glass?"

"It's nothing, just drink whatever you want."

"Then let's get drunk and forget our sorrows."

"No, something is wrong."

After drinking a bottle, when Wang Xiaomi asked for a second bottle, Mark felt that something was not right.

There is nothing wrong with drinking, it's just about treating people to meals, getting information, and getting people to drink.

Wang Xiaomi used all the dating tactics that these men often use on women on Mark.

Mark suspected that Wang Xiaomi was trying to seduce him intentionally or unintentionally.

"What's wrong?" After drinking more than half a bottle, Wang Xiaomi was already slightly tipsy.

"You are the one who is worried. I am not worried. Why should I go get drunk with you?"

Of course, Mark would not directly point out Wang Xiaomi's intentions.

"If you don't drink, I'll drink it myself."

Wang Xiaomi put a new bottle of wine in front of himself and said that this was obviously a sign of being drunk.

"If you want to drink it yourself, go back to your room and drink it, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to go back later."

Mark didn't want to do anything to Wang Xiaomi, so there was certainly no need to get anyone drunk in front of him.

The reason why they didn't go back this time was simply because Wang Xiaomi was too drunk to go back to the room, not because Mark wanted to take her back.

"How could I not be able to go back? If you say I can't go back, then you don't know how much I can drink."

"Don't even mention later. I don't believe you can go back now."

"I don't believe it's easy. I'll prove it to you right now." Wang Xiaomi waved to the distance: "Waiter, pay the bill!"

Wang Xiaomi is indeed still young. After getting drunk, simple provocations are very effective on him.

"Don't buy it, I've already bought it, take your wine and we can just leave."

Although he drank a lot, Wang Xiaomi still remembered to pay the bill, which is worth commending.

This is much better than those women who usually demand gender equality and say that men should take care of women when spending money.

After getting up the next day, Mark went for a run on the beach.

After practicing hard for a week, there is actually some effect.

At least the fat-reducing effect has been shown.

The beer belly is no longer visible, and Mark's figure has begun to look more muscular.

After breakfast, Mark went to the hotel gym again.

After doing a few sets of strength training, I went back to the room, took a shower, and then went to the hotel swimming pool to swim.

It can be considered as relaxation and also as exercise. You can be bad at work, but you can't be bad at your body.

You should continue to exercise.

Then Mark saw Wang Xiaomi, who went to the beach and stayed in the hotel.

After flying thousands of kilometers, you may just want to enjoy a sea view room and have the feeling of overlooking the sea from the room.

"Hey, Uncle, did I lose control yesterday?"

Seeing Mark, Wang Xiaomi came over again.

The two of them already had a history of eating and drinking together, and since they both came alone, it wasn't surprising that they were hanging out together.

It is not enough to prove that Wang Xiaomi has ulterior motives towards Mark.

"Not really. You went back to your room by yourself yesterday. You can drink quite well, so nothing embarrassing happened."

There was no drunkenness or shouting, so the drinking behavior can be said to be pretty good.

"We agreed to treat you, but in the end you paid the bill. How embarrassing! I even paid for it, and even took a bottle of wine home with me."

Wang Xiaomi felt secretly happy about this, yet a little embarrassed.

"It's not a big deal. It's just a meal. How can I let a little girl like you spend money?" Mark said sincerely.

Wang Xiaomi works as a salesperson in a pet supplies store, a job that obviously doesn't pay very well.

Even though the wage level in Beijing is higher than in most areas, Wang Xiaomi's income is only a few thousand yuan.

In other words, Wang Xiaomi is a native of Beijing, has a house at home, and does not have to worry about rent.

Only then can we maintain a decent life, otherwise survival will be a bit stressful.

No matter how generous Mark was, he couldn't bear to spend a week's salary on a girl's meal.

"Uncle, what do you do? You look quite rich."

"How can you tell that I'm rich? Just because I paid a bill once, you can tell that I'm rich?"

There wasn't anything valuable on Mark's clothes. Even his most expensive watch cost only a few thousand dollars.

Clothes and other things are cheaper, they are all ordinary popular brands.

"Your aura doesn't show that you care about money at all."

"Then you have misjudged me. I am just an ordinary middle school teacher with little income. I am not rich at all."

Mark didn't know whether Wang Xiaomi saw something or was just praising him on purpose.

As a salesperson, Wang Xiaomi is quite good at tricking customers into taking advantage of her.

"Uncle, you are a teacher!"

"Why, don't I look like that?"

"You look quite similar. You look like the school's dean."

"What Dean? What do I have to do with the Dean? Am I such a serious person?"

Under normal circumstances, the person who has the most deterrent effect on students in school should be the dean of studies.

Mark is the most popular physical education teacher, and he is completely different from the dean of studies.

"You are not that serious, but you like to lecture people."

"Who did I scold?"

"On the plane."

"Let's not even talk about getting on the plane. This is the worst flight I've ever taken."

Although Mark taught the man a lesson, the taste of the wine was still there.

"Then let's not talk about it. What's your name, Second Uncle?"

"mark."

“It’s valuable enough.”

"That was before."

"Indeed, we all use Euro now." Wang Xiaomi nodded: "Do you know my name? My name is Wang Xiaomi."

"Your name is quite nice...simple."

Mark didn't know how to praise the name Wang Xiaomi.

"My mother wanted to keep it simple. She was afraid that I wouldn't be able to remember the name because it had too many strokes." "Then your mother was quite foresighted. This name of yours will give you an advantage in school. When you're doing the test paper, you can write your name much faster than others."

"That's right, my mom is very awesome." Wang Xiaomi is quite proud of her mother.

Wang Xiaomi, who comes from a single-parent family, depends on her mother for everything, so naturally they have a very good relationship.

In this respect, the Wang family is really different from the Ma family.

Although Wang Xiaomi and Mark both have no father, Wang Xiaomi's father is dead and Mark's father ran away.

Of the two children, one is considered a trust left by their old father, and the other is considered a burden to be thrown away.

It is impossible for two mothers to have the same attitude towards their two children.

The relationship between Mark and Ling Mingyu cannot be said to be bad, it’s just more like an ordinary family.

Compared to a normal single-parent family, where the mother and son and mother and daughter are each other's only support and the most important people, it is much worse.

After two chats, the two people became a little more familiar with each other.

Naturally, the two of them started playing together.

The two of them went diving, surfing, and riding a jet ski together. They became a group and had fun for an entire afternoon.

Except when Mark went to the gym and Wang Xiaomi did not join in, the two of them basically spent all the time together.

"Uncle, I didn't expect you to be so good at having fun. You can do everything."

Wang Xiaomi was led by Mark and played many games that she was not prepared to play.

Otherwise, if Mark was there, Wang Xiaomi really wouldn't plan to go into the sea when she got to the beach.

"Of course. Second Uncle has eaten more food than you for so many years, and it's not for nothing."

In fact, there are similar activities available on every beach.

Mark has had a lot of travel experience, so it is certainly not a problem for him to handle these water sports.

If it is not one of these projects, it is required that a coach guides the experience.

Mark has no problem playing by himself.

"Uncle, all that rice you gave me was not wasted. I have learned a lot from following you."

Although Wang Xiaomi's personality is not very gentle, he is a bit noisy.

But this person can actually speak, and if he wants to, he can give people enough emotional value, which is actually very rare.

The whole person is quite lively and has the youthful feeling that middle-aged men like most.

Mark also understood why Mark in the original plot started to miss Wang Xiaomi after just playing with her for a few days.

Tian Ye divorced Mark because she was disgusted with the lack of passion in life.

Tian Ye felt no passion, and Mark certainly couldn't experience any passion either.

As a normal person, we all like passionate days, which is exactly what Wang Xiaomi can bring to Mark.

"This compliment is a bit awkward. Have you ever thought that your broadening of horizons may have nothing to do with your second uncle, but it's just that you have limited experience?" Mark teased Wang Xiaomi.

"I'm just a kid, and I've only been out for fun a few times. Of course I can't compare with a seasoned veteran like you."

Wang Xiaomi can still bicker with Mark, which is completely different experience from being with Tian Ye.

"Then you should play more in the future." Mark advised sincerely.

It’s better to have fun when you are young and strong. When you are old and weak, even if you have money and free time, you will not be able to experience many things.

"Don't wait until later, Uncle, what are we going to do tomorrow?"

"I'm going fishing tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"

It’s not that Mark doesn’t want to play with Wang Xiaomi, but as an experienced fisherman, he really can’t resist the temptation of big fish when he gets to the beach.

"Go ahead. I want to go too." Wang Xiaomi replied excitedly. She was having a lot of fun being led by Mark.

"You can get up early tomorrow."

"Ah, do we have to get up early to go fishing?"

"Not to mention that it's easiest to catch fish in the morning, would you be willing to go fishing in the sun at noon in this weather?"

"Then I'll wait for you in the lobby tomorrow morning." Wang Xiaomi agreed.

"Hey, you can really get up?"

Mark was still a little surprised when he saw Wang Xiaomi the next morning.

A person who is often late for work in the morning and almost misses his flight can actually get up early.

"You're looking down on me. I'm also a worker. Why can't I get up early?"

“Yes, you are also a worker.”

Without talking about Wang Xiaomi's work in the pet shop, Mark really felt reluctant to expose Wang Xiaomi.

But I have to say that the owner of the pet shop where Wang Xiaomi works is really nice to his employees.

Wang Xiaomi is often late for work, but her boss tolerates it.

Not only did they not fire anyone, they also did not deduct any salary. They truly treated their employees as friends.

"I am also very diligent. You didn't see me yesterday morning. That was just an accident."

"If you say it's an accident, then it's an accident. Since you're up, let's go now."

You have to go a little far to fish, there is no suitable place near the hotel.

"Why don't I have any fish?"

Not surprisingly, Wang Xiaomi was a novice in fishing and had never even fished in a river or lake. It took a long time to teach Wang Xiaomi how to cast the hook.

"Can you be a little patient? Newbies have a protection period, and fish are easy to catch."

Mark still believes in the novice protection period in various industries.

The main reason is that I have seen too many real cases. Although this is unscientific, it is metaphysical enough.

"I understand. Can you not teach me a lesson as your student?"

"If I don't teach you a lesson, can you settle down?"

"I can."

"Yes, it's coming, it's coming."

"Pull... release... pull slowly..."

“There it is again…”

"besides…"

"Uncle, are these fish enough for us to have a meal?"

On the way back, Wang Xiaomi chattered to Mark.

Mark was not as excited as Wang Xiaomi. After fishing for a whole morning, Mark was crushed by a novice.

Not only was the mark crushed in quantity, but also in value.

"Sure, we have grouper, sea bass, and eel, enough for us to have a meal."

Mark released most of the fish he caught, which was almost equivalent to the air force.

Most of the remaining edible food was contributed by Wang Xiaomi.

"Then let's eat these fish. It's my treat. You can't snatch them from me this time, right?"

This can be considered as Wang Xiaomi's way of returning the favor.

In fact, the two of them only had that one meal together and didn't eat together at other times.

Maybe it was because he ate a lot that time and it was a little expensive, so Wang Xiaomi started to think about it.

Although he is a little short of money, Wang Xiaomi is not the kind of person who will never get enough of taking advantage of others.

"Okay, let's find a shop and ask the chef to help us make it."

Although the hotel's restaurant is good, you can't always eat in the same restaurant.

Now that we are out, of course we have to try the restaurants outside. (End of this chapter)
