Chapter 15

Just two days after the incident with Mr. Zhao, Xia Chen told Ming Yunle that he was free.

"You guys have time so soon?

Ming Yunle was very surprised. He originally thought that it would take some time for Xia Chen and Gu Jing to find time to go to K City, but he didn't expect that they had found time so soon.

"Then when are we going?" Ming Yunle asked.

"Next week, the weather will be exceptionally good all week long." Xia Chen said with a smile, "Every day will be sunny, so it's a good time to go anywhere."

Ming Yunle looked at the weather and found that it was true.

"Then it's settled."

Ming Yunyuan has been at home these days, and it has become normal for the two brothers to go for a walk in the park after dinner.

But this evening, Ming Yunyuan discovered that Ming Yunle was in a particularly good mood.

Although Ming Yunle didn't show it, Ming Yunyuan could still feel it clearly.

"You look excited, something good?"

Ming Yunle was very excited: "I want to travel to K City."

Ming Yunyuan naturally knew that Ming Yunle had lived in K City before, and said, "You can be considered to be revisiting an old place."

Ming Yunle asked, "Have you been living at home recently?"

Ming Yunyuan crossed his arms, half-smiling, and said, "I saw you missed me so much that I came back to stay for a few days, but you left first?"

Did his brother actually think this way? Ming Yunle was immediately moved.

"I lied to you."

Ming Yunle: “…”

Ming Yunyuan ruthlessly stated the truth: "The truth is that it's more convenient for me to work from home recently, and a lot of information is here."

"Oh." Ming Yunle really didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. Could Ming Yunyuan return his three seconds of emotion?

Back home, Ming Yunle wondered if he should plan ahead what to bring. But after thinking carefully, he didn't need to prepare much, just a few clothes and toiletries. After all, even if he went out for fun, he probably wouldn't be there for more than a few days.

Thinking of this, Ming Yunle went to ask Ruan Yan and Gu Jing about their arrangements.

Ruan Yan: Let’s go to the amusement park for a day first.

Ruan Yan: Then let's go to the most famous park in K City. The scenery there is beautiful, you will definitely like it. This is also a place Xia Chen is looking forward to visiting.

Ruan Yan: There is also an art exhibition in K City. If you are interested, you can go there.

After saying these three sentences, Ruan Yan didn't send any more messages.

Hmm? That's all? Maybe three places?

After waiting for a while, Ruan Yan sent another message.

Ruan Yan: This is it for now. We can add it later if we decide where to go.

Ming Yunle was quite satisfied with the arrangements, especially the arrangements for the park and the art exhibition. However, he still asked Ruan Yan more questions.

What about you? Where do you most want to go?

Ruan Yan: I most want to go to that park, but I haven't really thought about other places. If I had to choose, I'd go to some restaurants I've been to before and found delicious.

They had lived in K City for quite some time and had indeed been to most places, so for the time being they couldn't think of any place they must visit.

[Ruan Yan: I also recommended two good restaurants to them. They will probably eat there in the next few days.]

[Ruan Yan: Is there any place you want to go?]

After reading Ruan Yanfa's words, Ming Yunle really thought about it for a long time, but the fact was indeed something he couldn't think of for a while.

They stayed in K City for quite some time, so if they really wanted to go there, they would have gone there right away.

So Ming Yun happily replied: "Let's do this for now."

They didn't say goodbye after discussing the plans, but stayed together for a while before going to bed.

"Why do you like learning to cook so much? I remember your previous hobby was swimming."

The next evening, Xia Chen started tinkering around in Ming Yunle's kitchen again. Ming Yunle was really curious, so he asked.

This question stumped Xia Chen. He thought for a while and said, "Hobbies are inherently irrational. If I had to say, I think watching the ingredients transform into delicious dishes in my hands gives me a great sense of accomplishment."

Having said that, Xia Chen handed Ming Yunle a small plate.

“If other people think it tastes good, then I feel a greater sense of accomplishment.”

Ming Yunle took a bite and his eyes lit up: "Your level has improved again."

Xia Chen smiled very happily: "Right, I worked hard." After saying that, he also took a bite.

"You can try different methods next time. I already know how to cook this ingredient in three ways."

Seeing Xia Chen smiling so happily, Ming Yunle became interested in cooking for a moment.

Xia Chen: "I'm still learning baking. I'll show you my skills later."

Time passed quickly these few days. After Ming Yunle stuffed the last piece of clothing into the suitcase, he finally nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, I should have brought them all.

They drove to K City, and it was almost dark at this time.

Ming Yunle thought about the fact that he had not sold his house in K City and wanted to go back to take a look.

But then he thought again, that place had not been lived in for a long time, and who knew how much dust had accumulated. So he gave up revisiting the place and planned to wait until he hired a housekeeping company to clean it up before moving in.

He was with Ruan Yan. Gu Jing and Xia Chen had some urgent matters to attend to, so they would arrive a little later.

The hotel had been booked in advance, and they were all staying in the same hotel, so they just had to pack their bags and check in.

The weather was very good the next day. The sun was bright but not glaring. Because it was autumn, the temperature was neither too cold nor too hot. It was really a perfect time for traveling.

They went when it was bustling.

The amusement park they were going to was a newly opened amusement park in City K. From a distance, they could hear the lively laughter inside.

Several people looked at each other and walked in with great anticipation.

Although the laughter could be heard from a long distance away, there were actually not many people in the amusement park today, so their waiting time was not very long.

They all like to have fun, especially since they haven't been to an amusement park for a long time.

A few people just played without saying a word, and the whole day passed like this.

Ruan Yan sat on the bench, drank a few sips of water, and reached out to rub Ming Yunle's messy hair.

Ming Yunle picked up a bottle of water and slapped Ruan Yan's hand away.

Ruan Yan waited until he finished drinking and asked, "Where are you going tomorrow?"

Ming Yunle leaned back in his chair and didn't speak for a long time. He was having difficulty making a decision.

He thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an answer, so he simply looked at Xia Chen and Gu Jing: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

Xia Chen thought for a moment and said, "Take a break tomorrow morning and go to the art exhibition in the afternoon."

No one had any objections.

After playing for so long, everyone was tired, so we just went to find a restaurant to eat.

Ruan Yan recommended a store they had been to before.

Ming Yunle was a little dazed when he stood at the door of the store.

I didn’t feel anything special about a place I had been to until I got there, but I felt very emotional when I revisited it.

He remembered that this was the place where he and Ruan Yan had gone out for dinner for the first time.

They were just friends at first, but things are different now.

After entering the store, Ming Yunle found that the decoration was still exactly the same as before. For a moment, he actually had the illusion that he was dreaming.

He never thought that one day he would come back to this place again, and be with Ruan Yan!

Thinking of this, Ming Yunle felt that the meat in his mouth tasted even more delicious.

Ming Yunle was in a daze after eating his fill when he heard Ruan Yan suddenly say, "Wipe it."

"Huh?" Ming Yunle was still unresponsive.

Ruan Yan smiled helplessly, took out a piece of paper and wiped the corner of Ming Yunle's mouth.

"It's all right now."

"Oh." Ming Yunle was a little dazed.

He kept watching Ruan Yan put the paper on the dining table, and then casually placed his hand between the two of them.

Ming Yunle just watched and he found that the two people's hands were very close.

He slowly shook hands with her. Ruan Yan froze visibly, then he held Ming Yunle's hand in return and squeezed it gently. He saw that Ming Yunle's ears turned red again.

The store is lively but not noisy, and has a very down-to-earth feel.

Xia Chen particularly liked this kind of place and said to Gu Jing excitedly, "The food is delicious and the environment is nice. We can come here again before we leave."

"Um."

It was still early when we got back to the hotel, far from time to go to bed.

How about watching a movie?

Ming Yunle was just deciding which one to watch when his cell phone rang.

When he looked at the caller ID, it was Ruan Yan.

Why did you suddenly call me via video?

After he answered the call, he saw Ruan Yan wearing pajamas with her hair hanging softly on her face. It seemed that she had just taken a shower and was getting ready to go to bed.

After seeing Ming Yunle answer the phone, Ruan Yan smiled and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm planning on seeing a movie, but I haven't picked one yet."

"How about we go to the movies tomorrow?"

Was it so sudden? Although it was sudden, Ming Yunle didn't think it was a big deal. He didn't have any plans anyway.

Ruan Yan, who had been standing a little distance away from the screen, moved closer and asked, "Didn't you mention it during dinner? Don't you remember?"

It seems so.

"Since you want to go, let's go tomorrow."

Ming Yunle blushed a little and said, "I've noticed that you remember everything I like very well."

"Of course." Ruan Yan hit the nail on the head: "Because I like you, of course I will remember the things you like."

Ming Yunle: “…”

Ming Yunle was speechless for a long time. When he finally reacted, he said, "I will also remember what you like."

Ming Yunle's face became even hotter, his eyes wandered around, and he didn't dare to look at Ruan Yan on the screen for a long time.

When he looked at Ruan Yan on the screen again, he found that Ruan Yan had been looking at him seriously.

After hanging up the phone, I still blushed when I thought of Ruan Yan’s words, “Because I like you, of course I will remember the things you like.”

Ming Yunle searched for a movie for a while, but after clicking on it, he found that he couldn't concentrate on watching the movie.

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Yan's face gradually turned red.

He was not as calm as he appeared. Ruan Yan was still quite shy when he said that, but he wanted Ming Yunle to feel his love, so he said it anyway.

The next day after leaving the exhibition, the two teams separated.

Gu Jing and Xia Chen were going for a walk, while Ming Yunle and Ruan Yan had already agreed to go to the movies.
