"How is that possible? Wang Xiaomi is not someone who cares whether she rides a car or a bicycle."

After following Mary into the elevator, Mark explained to Mary.

This was a very important advantage of Wang Xiaomi when Ma Li had doubts about his character.

"So, you still have to pick someone up after get off work, right?" Mary glanced at Mark and replied.

"I didn't go to pick anyone up. You know how busy I am all day. You know best whether I have time or not."

Mark realized that what Mary was bothered about was that Mark spent too much time with Wang Xiaomi these days.

Mary was afraid that Mark would forget his daughter after he got married.

There is a wide road in the school team, and Mark can keep no secrets from Mary even if he is away.

"Since you are so busy, you still find time for a date. It's really hard for you, Old Ma."

After Mary got on the bike, she replied to Mark with a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"It wasn't a date. The school team was having a game and she went to help cheer them on."

"I helped you show your face, right? Why didn't you invite them to our school?"

After Mary said this, Mark became more certain that Lu Kuan had told Mary all the details.

Mark has to make another note of Lu Kuan. The kid is a little lacking in practice. During the game, his attention is not on the court, but on things off the court.

"Can we not talk about yesterday?"

If it were someone else, Mark would be calm, but when Mary said this, Mark still felt a little embarrassed.

Of course he showed his face, and finding such a young girlfriend is a sign of his ability.

But showing this off in front of students is shameful and would be considered social humiliation. Showing it in front of my daughter would be doubly social humiliation.

"This is the consequence of having to look for a little kid. This is just the beginning. You will suffer in the future."

On the contrary, Mary taught Mark a lesson.

"Yes, you are right."

Mark nodded and replied that what Mary said was true.

But Mark was prepared. He exercised all day long not only to maintain his figure, but also to reserve his physical strength.

"Are you really determined?"

"Even if I'm not determined, I can't be single for the rest of my life, right?"

Mark really can't avoid the question of finding a girlfriend, and he certainly can't fool around, otherwise it will explode in the future.

"Even if you are single, you are not alone. You still have me and Manou."

"Yes, now we have you and Manou, but what else will I have in the future? When there was no problem between me and Wang Xiaomi, weren't you always quite open-minded?"

"I am open-minded, but the result of my open-mindedness is that you guys teamed up to deceive me."

As she spoke, Mary sped up and rode in front of Mark. There was not enough time, so she couldn't bring up the matter.

But that's the way it is. If you keep saying it, Mary will get used to it:
"Ma Li, don't be like this. Daddy finding a girlfriend doesn't mean he doesn't want you anymore. You will always be the first in Daddy's heart."

"Lily, look what I got you?"

They went to school together in the morning, and when they went back, Mark naturally rode back with Mary.

The two cars in my family will definitely be covered in dust for a while, which is also environmentally friendly.

"what is this?"

"I had a hard time getting you tickets for the Central Classical Orchestra's performance."

To have a good relationship with Mary, you have to please her.

Apart from the most common eating and drinking, Mali’s favorite thing is music.

Mark was reluctant to take Mary to listen to the Korean boy band.

So I bought tickets for the classical orchestra and went to watch it together to continue to cultivate Mary's musical cultivation.

"It can't be that you and Wang Xiaomi are not going?" Ma Li asked doubtfully after taking the tickets.

"What are you thinking? How could this be prepared for her? Don't you know she's not interested in music?" Mark was telling the truth.

Wang Xiaomi has no feelings about music and has never liked it.

If she really liked it a little bit, Wang Xiaomi wouldn't think that being in a band is a waste of time.

"She didn't tell me either?"

"Look at the time. If I go with her, do I need to choose a weekend?"

"You want to bribe me with a ticket and let the thing you cheated me go?"

"What bribery are you talking about? I've already given you the card. You can buy whatever you want. How can I bribe you?"

Mark gave Mary a credit card, which was not a very good choice.

I had never considered the possibility that Mary might get angry.

After she had enough pocket money, Mary's needs became much less. She could buy whatever she wanted by herself and no longer needed Mark.

In the past, two hundred yuan could make Ma Li happy for half a day.

It is now difficult to stimulate or bribe Mary financially.

"Dad, their band is really great, and they play really well."

Because she has been learning piano since she was a child, Ma Li actually has a good ability to appreciate music.

But boy bands and orchestras are not just about music.

Even if the music is terrible, there are still people who follow it.

The same goes for Ma Li. She doesn't like the Mirror Band just because they sing well.

It can be said that I like the overall feeling and the atmosphere.

"Yeah, it sounds much better than those noisy, chaotic boy bands and orchestras."

Mark said with a smeared meaning.

"I haven't heard anything you said."

Mary didn't think it was what was in Mark's mouth that she liked.

The Korean boy band’s professional abilities are indeed pretty good, but their character is basically non-existent.

As for the Mirror Band, Qiu Feng has parents who are music professors after all, and under the influence of them, his level is basically up to the level of singing under the overpass.

It certainly can't be said to be excellent, but it always has some good points.

"It's good that you haven't heard it. I hope you never listen to these things. It's just that I found that there are many students in our school who like it. Just don't follow them."

It would not work to deny it directly and not let Mary hear it.

The easiest thing to do when you are in middle school is to rebel.

"I have my own aesthetic taste. You treated me to classical music, and I'll treat you to a concert later. Didn't you always say you wanted to go? Although the ticket price difference is quite large, it's also my sincerity."

And she is willing to bring Mark along, which means that Wang Xiaomi’s name is basically a thing of the past.

At least the cold war between the two of them is over.

"What do you mean you treat me? Isn't it me who pays for it?"

"I'm treating you, you're paying, it's only natural, if you're willing to go then go."

"Go, I'll wait for you to take me with you."

At this time, Mark was thinking about Qiu Feng. He had already called him twice, but Mark didn't have time to ask whether this kid's band still existed.

"Then let's go tomorrow."

"Is it such a coincidence?"

"It's just... such a coincidence."

Mary's vague attitude made Mark very suspicious. In fact, the band had held a concert before, but Mary was unwilling to take Mark.

With Qiu Feng's family's connections in the music industry, it was not a big problem to help find a venue. Even Qiu Feng's father's female student could have gotten the job done by leveraging her connections with her tutor in the music industry.

There is a big difference between music students who come from a formal background and those who come from an unconventional background.

"Okay, let's go to the concert tomorrow."

Mark didn't have any plans, except that he had to talk to Wang Xiaomi again, and he didn't have time in the evening after get off work.

On Sunday, Mark went to the gym first, worked out for a while, and looked to see if Qiu Feng was there, but he didn't see Qiu Feng.

I didn't have the chance to ask Qiu Feng whether the Mirror Band was still there.

Then before lunch, Mark rushed to the Dragon Pet Shop where Wang Xiaomi worked.

This dragon is, without a doubt, old Han Jinlong’s dragon.

The name is somewhat arbitrary.

"Uncle, why are you sending flowers again?" Wang Xiaomi came towards Mark with joy again.

Although Mark didn't really want Wang Xiaomi to go to school.

But Wang Xiaomi really likes Mark finding the pet shop.

This may be the difference between men and women.

"We haven't seen each other for a day, right? A day without seeing each other feels like a long time. It takes three years for a long time to have a long time. There must be some sense of ritual."

He asked the flower shop to send a bouquet of flowers first, mainly because Mark felt that Wang Xiaomi had chosen him during the last chat.

A lot of time has been spent on Ma Li these two days, so Wang Xiaomi definitely needs to find a balance.

"Second Uncle, what didn't I prepare for you?"

"You don't need to prepare anything for me. I just suddenly thought of giving it to you."

There is no need for this aspect to be mutual.

Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to develop the habit of giving small gifts after not seeing each other for a few days.

"Teacher Ma, you are here."

After Han Jinlong met Mark, he was still as enthusiastic as before, but Han Jinlong himself was a little depressed.

"I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently?"

Mark looked at Lao Han, and he was not in the same condition as the last time they met.

"Don't mention it." Old Han shook his head from a distance.

"It was a big blow."

Wang Xiaomi added in a low voice.

"Is it such a big blow? Didn't Dai Anfen often go on blind dates and date other people before?"

In fact, Dai Anfen’s date was of a relatively simple kind.

It's just about meeting, eating, drinking, and watching movies, and getting to know the blind date better. There are no other unnecessary activities.

As a person who never lets go until he sees the rabbit, Dai Anfen will not let himself suffer any loss easily.

So all this time, Han Jinlong was not in a hurry.

"Maybe it's because he confessed this time. Before he confessed, although Anfen had been dating, Lao Han knew that Anfen would not be successful. Since he didn't confess and get rejected, he always had hope."

This may also be the reason why many relationships only last for a short while.

"Teacher Ma, you've sent flowers to our Xiaomi again. I didn't expect you to be so romantic."

After Dai Anfen looked in the mirror, she also greeted Mark.

Dai Anfen is in much better condition. Not only is her makeup more refined than before, but her complexion is also better than before.

This is indeed a state that only occurs when you date women frequently.

There is a big difference in a woman's status depending on whether she has a man she needs to date or not.

Women dress up to please themselves, and when there are people admiring their looks, they will indeed spend more time on their makeup.

Due to the mood, the condition will not be at the same level.

"Just a little bit, still far behind you young people."

Romance only needs some embellishment. It's hard to bear thinking about romance all day long.

"Yes, my current boyfriend is very romantic..."

Although Mark thinks Dai Anfen is a rational type, she still behaves like an emotional person and is obviously in love.

"Already a boyfriend?"

Mark looked at Wang Xiaomi and asked, and got a positive answer.

"Yes, I don't have much experience in relationships, so I'm not very romantic. I'm sorry, Xiaomi."

Mark was actually implying that the boy was so romantic and had a lot of experience in playing around, and was a playboy. He wondered if Dai Anfen could be more alert.

"Teacher Ma, you are really old-fashioned. I thought you would be more youthful if you stayed with students all the time."

Dai Anfen's words made Mark give up the idea of ​​continuing speaking.

"You guys are busy, let's go look after the dog."

Mark took Wang Xiaomi to the pet area.

On the one hand, I really wanted to see the dog, and on the other hand, I wanted to stay away from the two people at the counter so it would be easier for me to talk.

"Teacher Ma, tell me what kind of dog you want to raise, and I'll give you a discount."

Old Han shouted from behind that Mark must see the dogs every time he comes, and it is easy to tell that he likes dogs.

"When I need you, I will not be polite to you."

Mark has no plans to keep a dog now because his house is small, but he may consider it after moving into the new house.

Without a dog to accompany me, I always feel like something is missing when I run.

"Old Han is such a good man. He can still bear it even though Dai Anfen is showing off her affection in front of him like this."

Hearing Dai Anfen praising her boyfriend again, Mark couldn't help but complain to Dai Anfen.

Dai Anfen speaks in a very straightforward manner (without brains), which makes people unpleasant to listen to.

Even though I know this person might not be a bad person, I don't want to keep communicating with him.

Mark now felt empathy with Mary. It wasn't without reason that Mary disliked Dai Anfen.

"It's always been like this. Aren't we showing off now?"

Wang Xiaomi spoke for Dai Anfen.

"How can it be the same? Isn't it that Lao Han is still here? She has to take Lao Han's fragile heart into consideration. No matter what Lao Han says, he is still your boss."

Like Dai Anfen and Wang Xiaomi, neither of them looks like someone who can thrive in the workplace.

It is indeed a good fit to work with a man like Lao Han who enjoys his own business.

"That's right. Now Anfen shows off every time and stabs Lao Han. I wonder why Lao Han's mentality has not recovered."

Wang Xiaomi has always stood on Dai Anfen's side. He is still a little behind Lao Han, and is slow to realize Lao Han's situation.

Unlike Mark, he is a man by nature and will consider things from Lao Han's perspective.

"Let's go out and talk. We can't just say Dai Anfen doesn't care and then we become like her."

Mark came here at noon to have lunch with Wang Xiaomi.

"Dad, you can't dress so formally. Change your clothes."

Before going to the concert, Mary became critical of Mark, which was a rare occurrence.

"I'm fine now. I wore it like this yesterday."

It's a casual suit that costs several thousand yuan. Although it can't be said to be very good, it can't be said that you can't wear it out.

"We're going to listen to pop music, sing and dance and have fun. How can we have fun if you're dressed like this?" (End of this chapter)
