Chapter 56

It was already afternoon when they returned to Haicheng. Zhou Mingshu wanted to catch up on his sleep, and Yang Mingzhou reluctantly went to find his sister who had not yet returned to Beicheng.

Seeing Ming Xu unwilling to let her go back to her room, Yan Qing touched his face and said, "Go back and have some rest."

"Not tired."

Just then, Yan Zheng called. It was very noisy on the other end, and his voice was much louder. "Xixi, your house is ready, you can move in directly. Are you back? When can you go take a look? Tell me if you need anything, and I'll buy it for you."

Yan Qing glanced at Ming Xu and opened the door.

"I just got back. Let's go check it out this afternoon. I can buy it myself. Don't worry about it."

Yan Zheng: "Okay, let your friend accompany you anyway."

The "friend" himself listened and nodded in agreement.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Qing asked, "Are you really not tired?" After receiving an affirmative answer, she planned to go and take a look at the new house.

"My uncle has already asked you to find that friend if you have any problems." Ming Xu raised his eyebrows and opened the refrigerator to get some water, as if he no longer considered himself an outsider.

Yan Qing watched his movements and said, "Then we'll leave in an hour. You can rest on the sofa?"

"good."

Lying on the sofa, Ming Xu looked at his legs hanging out and felt annoyed. He should have bought a bigger sofa earlier. If the sofa in Yan Qing's new house was too small, he would definitely persuade her to get a bigger one, otherwise she would have to change it in the future.

On the way to the new home, although it was the first time Yan Qing went there after buying the house, she was not that excited. She felt that renting a house or staying in a B&B was also a good choice, but she couldn't persuade her parents, and she didn't care much about it.

She was not in Haicheng. After her parents returned to Yuancheng, Yan Zheng and Yu An were busy with various matters in the new house.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing suggested: "Invite everyone to the new house for dinner in a few days."

"good."

As I was looking at the photos sent by Yan Zheng, I heard Ming Xu ask, "Do you need a chef?"

"I'll hire someone to cook for me."

"I'll do it."

Yan Qing agreed readily: "Okay, then I'll help you when the time comes. I'll ask my uncle and aunt, Mingshu, the gang leader, and no one else."

Ming Xu: "Okay, go ask them what they want to eat."

Upon learning that Yan Qing had made a sudden decision to organize a greenhouse, Yang Mingzhou quietly canceled his flight back to Beicheng. If he was discovered, he would use those two people as shields.

Seeing his brother's sneaky behavior, Yang Zhaoye had a bad feeling in his heart: "Don't return the ticket without telling me."

He suddenly felt his heart beating faster: "No, I will definitely go back. Oh, why don't you believe me, sister, I'm really sad."

Yang Zhaoye was busy and had no time to take care of him, so he gave him a few words of advice and let him go.

After leaving the hotel, he immediately called Ming Xu, and it was Yan Qing who answered the phone.

"Yan Qing?" Yang Mingzhou didn't find it strange. "Where are you two?"

"Where's the new house? Do you want to come?"

After sending the address, the two of them arrived at their new home.

The house has been renovated, and the materials and furniture are all high-quality items. The owner said that they have never been used once. These have all been verified by Liu Da, so Yan Qing is relieved.

Ming Xu looked at the brand new sofa and said casually, "Isn't the sofa a little small?"

Yan Qing looked over. She didn't think it was small when she saw the photo, but now that Ming Xu said that, she felt it was a bit small: "I live alone, so it's not small."

Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, Ming Xu continued: "If friends come, there might not be enough space."

"I don't have many friends except you guys."

As soon as Yan Qing finished speaking, she saw Ming Xu suddenly lying on her sofa. Looking at his legs that had nowhere to go, she suddenly realized, "It's indeed a bit small."

Mingxu was very satisfied: "I'll go take a look later. If it's custom made, it might take a little longer."

Yan Qing didn't quite understand this: "Do you want to ask your uncle?"

When Yan Zheng learned that Yan Qing wanted to change the sofa, he was a little confused: "Why do you want to change the sofa so suddenly? That sofa is brand new and matches the overall decoration very well. If you want to change it, it will probably take more than ten or twenty days."

"I don't like it."

After all, it was Yan Qing's house, so Yan Zheng didn't say anything more and said he would go find someone.

Yan Qing: "I'll go take a look first."

Yan Zheng: "Do you understand furniture? Don't be fooled."

Ming Xu leaned over to the phone and said, "Uncle, you have a friend like me."

Yan Zheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard Ming Xu's voice. After all, he was making fun of him by using the words he had said before.

"Oh, okay, then you can take a look first, but don't rush to buy. Send me the ones you like first."

The study is semi-open, with a floor-to-ceiling open bookcase. Yan Qing can write here, and this is the location she is most satisfied with.

Further in is the guest bathroom, which is quite standard, but the color combination of tiles and bathroom fixtures is very playful.

Then there is the guest bedroom, another study, and the master bedroom.

The master bedroom is connected to the dressing room and master bathroom, and is Yan Qing's room.

"A 180-square-meter house is a bit too big for me." Yan Qing said, "But Mingshu can live in Haicheng permanently."

After saying that, seeing Ming Xu looking outside the house, Yan Qing said, "If you're not busy, you can come and cook for me."

"Just cooking?" someone asked dissatisfiedly.

Yan Qing smiled mischievously: "You can come to my house to work. I'll give you the study room inside."

Mingxu was satisfied: "Okay."

After the two of them had a rough tour of the house, they sat on the sofa waiting for the guests to arrive.

Yan Qing felt that Yang Mingzhou really loved making phone calls.

"I can't find it. Is there anyone here to pick me up?"

Ming Xu: "Wait."

He originally wanted to go downstairs and look at the furniture directly, but Yang Mingzhou said he wanted to come up and take a look.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Mingzhou exclaimed: "Your community is really nice, but it's too big. I searched for ten minutes and still couldn't find it."

Yan Qing: "I was just like you when I first came here."

After touring the houses, Yang Mingzhou continued to sigh, "Can you ask if there are any houses for sale in this neighborhood? I quite like them." Then he looked at Mingxu and asked, "Aren't you planning to buy one?"

Mingxu coughed as his inner thoughts were spoken directly, and replied irrelevantly: "Hurry up and look at it. After that, you still have to look at the furniture."

Yang Mingzhou muttered: "Humph, don't say you don't want to."

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked. He looked up and saw Ming Xu's warning gaze. Yan Qing didn't know what he was doing and didn't notice the actions of the two.

"What are you doing? Are you angry because I hit the nail on the head?" Yang Mingzhou was dissatisfied.

Ming Xu raised his fist and warned him again: "Don't force me to beat you."

Seeing the fist, Yang Mingzhou wilted: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Why are you so fierce? Be careful if someone sees you, or they won't want you anymore."

Hearing Yang Mingzhou muttering, Ming Xu signaled again, and he finally quieted down.

The two stopped talking. Yan Zheng just came out of the master bedroom and called Yang Mingzhou: "Come in and take a look. I don't know what else to buy."

Just thinking about it makes me worried.

Arriving at the furniture store, Yan Qing felt even more confused looking at the dazzling array of things in front of him.

Ming Xu took her hand and said, "I already have a rough list."

"Please prepare more tableware."

Yang Mingzhou looked at the basket in his hand and looked at Yan Qing, who was still putting tableware in it, with a sad look: "Is that enough?"

"They all look great, I want to buy them all." After saying that, Yan Qing looked at Ming Xu.

Mingxu would certainly not refuse her.

The only one who was actually injured was Yang Mingzhou.

When Zhou Mingshu woke up, it was already dark. She saw Yan Qing's message and called her.

"Xixi, where are you guys?"

"Let's eat out tonight. I'll give you the address and you can come directly. We are still shopping."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

When Yang Mingzhou heard that Zhou Mingshu was coming, he was overjoyed. Now there was someone to share his burden.

But Yan Qing's next words poured cold water on him: "Even if Mingshu comes, you have to continue to do hard labor."

"Why?" If he hadn't been outside, he would have fallen to his knees and howled. Yu An had recommended this furniture store, and he'd already bought almost everything on Mingxu's shopping list.

Yan Qing looked at the trunk full of things and said, "All that's missing is the sofa."

After looking at several furniture stores and not finding anything suitable, Yan Qing felt a bit discouraged. Ming Xu noticed her fatigue and said, "Let's wait until after the concert."

"Concert? When are you going to watch it?" Yang Mingzhou's eyes lit up.

Ming preface: "Number five."

"The fifth? That's the day after tomorrow. When did you buy the tickets? I want to go too."

Ming Xu was unhappy: "Why are you joining in on our date?"

Someone was heartbroken: "Well, I can only wander the world alone."

When we arrived at the restaurant, Zhou Mingshu had not arrived yet.

Looking at the two people in front of him being affectionate with each other, Yang Mingzhou felt sad: "Can you two consider me, a single dog?"

They both shook their heads at the same time.

He didn't dare to explain the preface and began to point the finger at Yan Qing: "You have really become a bad person now, just like before. I wonder who learned this from?"

Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Mingxu chuckled.

Zhou Mingshu arrived, carrying four cups of milk tea. The four of them looked at each other, and Yan Qing sighed, "Do you really have to drink two cups by yourself?"

Zhou Mingshu: "This is all money."

“That’s terrible. Please tell me before buying milk tea next time.”

We had hotpot for dinner, which was one of the few foods Yan Qing liked. She had chosen this restaurant blindly, but she didn’t expect the ingredients to taste so unexpectedly good.

While eating, a girl in professional attire came over. Yan Qing noticed the nameplate on her chest. She was the store manager.

"Everyone, we're opening a new restaurant. Check in and you can get one free meat dish and one free vegetarian dish. Are you interested?"

Zhou Mingshu is very proficient in these things: "Okay, I'll do it."

After punching the card, the store manager continued, "We also give out free Coke. Would you like it iced or at room temperature?"

Yan Qing: "No, thank you."

The store manager said: "I won't bother you any more. Enjoy your meal."

As the store manager walked away, Yang Mingzhou said, "I thought you would want it."

Zhou Mingshu rolled his eyes at him: "I'm not a water buffalo, I can't drink that much."

"Beautiful lady, are you alone?"

While eating, a malicious voice was heard. Zhou Mingshu looked up and saw a young man standing next to her, staring at her and admonishing her.

"What are you looking at?" She immediately saw the man's intention and stood up.

Yan Qing on the opposite side also stood up. Ming Xu pulled her away and walked outside, pulling the man aside. Yang Mingzhou also came out from his seat.

The man saw that his plan was about to fail, and before coming over, he made a bet with his companion that he couldn't just go back like this.

Looking at the two people blocking his way, there were several waiters nearby trying to mediate.

He ignored everyone's attempts to stop him and continued to stretch his neck and shout at Zhou Mingshu, "Let's be friends, beautiful lady."

Zhou Mingshu hated this kind of people the most: "Get lost."

"If you tell me to leave, I'll leave. Is this your home?"

The store manager heard the news and came over, standing between them and facing the man: "Customer, could you please return to your seat?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm the store manager. Please go back, or we'll call the police."

The man's mind was full of the bold words he had said when he made a bet with his friends, and now he would not listen to anyone's advice.

At this moment, one of the men at the next table stood up, patted the man's shoulder seriously, and pointed at his table: "Go back and eat."

Seeing that he was indifferent, he took out his ID and said, "Tea or dinner? Do you still need to consider it?"

Looking at the police badge on it, the man was deflated: "Brother, I'm going to eat now." After saying that, he thought of something and immediately changed his words, "I'm not going to eat, brother. I have to go home." After saying that, he trotted out of the hot pot restaurant.

After seeing the harasser leave, Zhou Mingshu thanked the store manager and the police who spoke up for them: "Thank you."

"If you encounter such people, you can call the police. Next time, just call the police." After saying that, he looked at the store manager and said, "The same goes for you."

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Zhou Mingshu was no longer in a good mood: "I was scared when I looked up just now."

After this farce, Zhou Mingshu went to Yan Qing's room again.

Mingxu was angry, but he couldn't say anything.

Yan Qing could only coax her boyfriend.
