Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 637 - 638: T-Jing’s Secret Crush

Shi Mei stifled a laugh, "So if you already know what he’s up to, why not play along with his plan? You might even get a chance to lose your virginity and put an end to your thirty-year-old maidenhood?"

"Hey, I’m only twenty-nine, okay? Where did you get thirty from? Show a little respect!"

"Twenty-nine years have already passed; one more year won’t make a difference."

"Damn, it makes a huge difference!" Ye Tiao said, exasperated. "Of course, you’d say that at twenty-four, but if you were Tang Wu, I don’t believe you wouldn’t care about that one year!"

"Really, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I’m not Tang Wu," Shi Mei smirked with a touch of smugness. "I’m different from an old maid like you. Why be so prudish at this age? If I were you, I might have already gone off with that Lin Yuan or someone, and ended my single life. How wonderful that would be."

"Heh, easy for you to say, you’re not the one who’s single," Ye Tiao huffed as she tossed the towel aside and plunked herself down on the sofa, sighing, "I think things are moving too fast; it’s better to take it slow."

"Don’t you like him?"

"I actually do like him, it’s the first time I’ve felt this way about a man, but I think it’s better to be a bit reserved," Ye Tiao looked at the ceiling, "No matter how old you are, or how desperate to marry, you can’t shortchange yourself."

Shi Mei chuckled softly, expressing agreement, "There’s some truth to that, but since you haven’t even held hands with him, how can you be sure you’re in a relationship?"

"Um, we’ve talked about it!"

"What did you say?"

"I told him, let’s give it a try. He said: okay." Ye Tiao shrugged, "And then we started."

Shi Mei couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Turns out you were the one who initiated it. I really thought you were being so proper because it was the guy who was taking it slow. Since you made the first move and are still keeping him on a string, if you ran into someone with a short temper or a bit of impatience, they might have dumped you by now!"

"Probably not, he seems to like me quite a bit."

"What’s the use of liking?" Shi Mei nudged her with her elbow. "Men are animals that think with their lower half. Women might enter a relationship because of love, but most men, it’s more about sex leading to love. For a lot of men, it’s only by letting him into your body that you can prove your love to him."

Ye Tiao looked bemused, "Is that so?"

"Yep," Shi Mei nodded, "But you’re doing the right thing. When it comes to dating at this age, you’re aiming for marriage; you’ve got to keep your eyes wide open."

"Mhm!"

"Hey, what do you think of T Jing?"

Ye Tiao scoffed, "Just a kid."

"He’s twenty-six, not that young."

"Twenty-six is still young. He’s just like a child, throwing tantrums out of nowhere, more difficult to handle than a girl."

"Putting aside your recent conflicts, what do you think of him as a person?"

"Hmph, I guess he’s barely passable."

"Be serious, just talk about the good points." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Good points... diligent, takes work seriously, smart, eloquent, um... cheerful, I guess, but not mature enough."

"How about as a boyfriend?"

Ye Tiao was startled, "What?"

Shi Mei’s expression didn’t change; she continued, "Oh, it’s like this, T Jing has a crush on a girl recently, but she’s a bit oblivious and hasn’t noticed his feelings. I just wanted to ask what you think of T Jing as a person, he’s not that bad that someone would look down on him, right?"
