93 A Strange Atmosphere (2/2)
Although Jin Wewen was a beauty, she had the imposing manner of a man when she walked. She walked up to the two of them, looked them both over, and said with a smile, ”I never expected to see two acquaintances.”
Two acquaintances? Night Tide Sands looked at Roland, showing a puzzled look.
Roland nodded. ”It's been some time since we've last met, Club President Jin.”
Regarding this woman, he didn't have any favorable impressions, and of course, he didn't have any negative impressions either.
”Why haven't you come to train these days?” Jin Wenwen looked curiously at Roland—there was even an interrogative look in her eyes.
This woman seemed to be habitually aggressive. There was a commanding tone within her words. She did this both intentionally and not.
Upon hearing this, Roland felt somewhat uncomfortable. He replied slowly, ”You guys don't have anything to teach me, right?”
His tone sounded peaceful, but the rhetorical message was quite clear. Jin Wenwen slightly frowned; she wasn't used to men of the same age talking to her like this.
On the side, Night Tide Sands found an opportunity to interject. ”Do you guys know each other?”
Roland nodded. ”Yes, I learned boxing at Club President Jin's boxing club for a while.”
”Oh.” Night Tide Sands suddenly realized. ”So you learned your boxing skills from them. You learned quite well, even my big brother says he isn't your match empty-handed. It seems Club President Jin taught with great care.”
At this moment, Night Tide Sands smiled, which she rarely did, but it felt feigned.
As one of the few ”physical skills” clubs in the city, Night Tide Sands knew Jin Wenwen, and Jin Wenwen naturally knew that Qi family's miaodao arts were quite impressive.
At this moment, Roland started to feel that the atmosphere was a little strange.
Jin Wenwen considered Night Tide Sands' expression for a while, then swept her eyes between Roland and Night Tide Sands. Finally, she smiled smugly. ”Yes, I almost taught him all my most valuable skills. In the end, he ran off after learning them. Don't you think he's irresponsible?”
Night Tide Sands' expression started to become somewhat sullen.
Roland didn't quite understand confrontation between women. Although he was a die-hard sciences man, his emotional quotient wasn't low, and he could read the atmosphere. He immediately said, ”Club President Jin speaks rather ambiguously. Do you speak like that to all men?”
Night Tide Sands was slightly startled, her expression no longer cold and indifferent.
On the other hand, Jin Wenwen frowned again, this time more deeply than before.
A few words broke through the strange atmosphere, and he immediately set his standpoint on the same front as Night Tide Sands.
”I'm only joking. You're overreacting.” Jin Wenwen feigned a helpless look.
”We don't know each other well enough to take a joke,” Roland replied indifferently.
This woman was after the immersive cabin in his house, and neither her tone nor attitude was good—he didn't need to feign civility with her.
Then, he shifted his gaze toward Night Tide Sands. ”Let's go get the stuff. I have some things to take care of later.”
”Okay!” The corner of Night Tide Sands' lips raised slightly.
Meanwhile, watching from the side, Senior Uncle Yu was grinning from ear to ear. His smile almost wrinkled his face into a butthole.
Before he turned around and entered the shop, he gave a look that said ”all men understand,” seeming rather like a compliment.
Roland felt baffled at this. He felt that Senior Uncle Yu seemed to be hinting at something but he couldn't figure out what.
Out of the way, Jin Wenwen watched them work.
Roland and Night Tide Sands ignored her, loaded several heavy bags of thick bamboo onto the back of the pickup truck, and drove away.
Jin Wenwen took out a slim cigarette, took a puff, and said to the old man, ”Senior Uncle Yu, I'm here to buy some tincture for bruises and to improve blood circulation.”
