Chapter 218 Take Me With You

Shen Congyu only discovered this after running into Yuan Qi several times in the community over the next few days.

She asked him once, and he said directly and generously: "If you are here too, then I won't be bored if I move here. I don't have anything to do."

This is his house, he can come and live here if he wants, and Chen Congyu can't say anything.

But living in the same community, Yuan Qi wanted to find her.

That night he invited Shen Congyu to his house for dinner.

"You invited me last time, so I have to return the favor. I've prepared everything. Just come directly after get off work, sister."

Shen Congyu asked him, "Can you cook?"

Yuan Qi's tone was quite proud. "I haven't learned it specifically, but I think I have a talent for it. I don't usually cook, but I wanted to let my sister taste my cooking skills."

The words sounded so nice that Shen Congyu agreed.

What she didn't expect was that Yuan Qi's cooking skills were really good, and the food was so delicious that she couldn't help but suspect that it was takeout.

But when she first arrived, Yuan Qi was still making the last dish, which really broke her impression.

"Sister, try it quickly. You must be tired from working, right?"

Chen Congyu picked up the chopsticks and said, "You can eat too."

But Yuan Qi still waited for Chen Congyu to taste it first. He looked at her seriously and asked for her opinion: "How is it? Does it suit your taste?"

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to cook, and cook so well."

Yuan Qi: "Are you praising me?"

Chen Congyu: “Yes, I’m praising you.”

Yuan Qi immediately narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's worth it for me to make this meal just to get your praise."

He took good care of Shen Congyu and spoke in an interesting way, so the meal was very relaxing and enjoyable.

After the meal, he didn’t let Shen Congyu touch it and put the dishes into the dishwasher himself.

When he came out again, he asked Chen Congyu: "Sister, when will you take a break? Can I ask you out to play?"

He handed me a brochure and said, "This is a resort hotel owned by my friend. It's by the sea, and the scenery is beautiful. It would be great if I could invite you someday when you're on vacation."

Since she started working, Chen Congyu hasn't had a proper weekend off. As a new employee, she has a lot of work to deal with and familiarize herself with, but she doesn't complain. However, she does need to relax.

She had an impression of this hotel from the pictures in the brochure.

"I'm taking this week off."

Yuan Qi: "Really? Are you promising me this?"

Chen Congyu nodded.

"That's great. I'll drive to your house and pick you up then."

After returning home, Shen Congyu chatted with Xue Mingrui and told her about this. Because Xue Mingrui had originally wanted to ask her out shopping, but she couldn't go, she told Xue Mingrui the reason.

When Xue Mingrui was messaging Chen Congyu, he was at a party with other people, all of whom were his former friends, so Jiang Xilin was there too.

Jiang Xilin saw that she was chatting with Shen Congyu and asked them what they were talking about.

The dialog box had not yet been closed, and Xue Mingrui was not sure how much Jiang Xilin had seen, so he did not dare to lie.

"Sister Cong Yu said she's going to the beach for her break. Isn't there a famous resort hotel there?"

Jiang Xilin was of course aware of all this, but he vaguely felt that she had not finished speaking.

"You two going?"

Xue Mingrui whispered, "It's not me and her."

Jiang Xilin looked at her and waited for her to continue.

Xue Mingrui knew that he couldn't hide it from him. Even if he didn't tell him now, he would still know it when the time came.

"It's Yuan Qi. He made an appointment with Sister Cong Yu."

After saying this, Xue Mingrui was not sure how Jiang Xilin would react, nor did he dare to look at him.

But not long after, Jiang Xilin said: "Make an appointment with Chen Congyu and tell her that you want to go too."

"ah?"

Jiang Xilin looked at her and said, "Take me with you when the time comes."

Xue Mingrui widened his eyes slightly.

She knew he wouldn't ask so casually.

Fearing that the atmosphere would become awkward, Xue Mingrui still wanted to try to dissuade him from this idea.

"But I didn't tell Sister Cong Yu that I wanted to go too. I don't know if she will take me with her then."

This was not a problem for Jiang Xilin. He pressed her shoulder and helped her think of a solution.

"When are they going? Let's go straight to them."

Xue Mingrui was so scared that he didn't dare to say much.

On the morning of Chen Congyu's rest day, because it would take nearly an hour to drive there, I made an appointment with Yuan Qi the night before to set off early this morning.

She packed up and waited for Yuan Qi to come home. He came very quickly and was dressed casually today. He looked like a young man.

"Sister, let me carry your suitcase for you."

Before Chen Congyu could refuse, he took it warmly.

The two of them just went out and the elevator came up from downstairs, and they had to wait.

Yuan Qi tried to find a topic to talk about. "I checked the weather forecast. It's not too hot these next two days. It's perfect for going to the beach."

"Well, I'm usually at work, so it's nice to get some sun."

After chatting for a while, the elevator stopped at this floor. They didn't expect that when the elevator door opened, the people inside would be Jiang Xilin and Xue Mingrui.

Xue Mingrui saw that they looked a little guilty, but he still had to speak first: "It seems that we have come at the right time. Sister Cong Yu, can you take us with you when you go out to play today?"

It is normal to bring her along, but it is abnormal for Jiang Xilin to appear here.

Shen Congyu's attention was on him, and then he signaled Xue Mingrui with his eyes, asking why he was here.

Jiang Xilin seemed to understand what she meant and took the initiative to say, "I heard Ruirui say that you are going to the beach. I am free today. Can we go together?"

Yuan Qi's current thoughts are probably similar to Chen Congyu's.

With the addition of Jiang Xilin, the meaning is a little different.

But the words were spoken nicely, and it seemed disrespectful to say that I wanted to refuse.

So Yuan Qi said, "Okay, we're all friends, and it'll be more lively with more people."

He and Shen Congyu walked into the elevator, and after the elevator door closed, Yuan Qi said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Jiang would be interested in going out with us."

Jiang Xilin answered with ease: "After all, I've been busy for a long time, so it's normal to take a break occasionally."

Chen Congyu and Xue Mingrui looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything to him.

Chen Congyu was not mainly worried about why he came, but was more worried about the fact that she and Yuan Qi were going out to play.

But looking at Jiang Xilin's reaction, I really can't tell anything.

Chen Congyu was under a lot of pressure.

When they got downstairs to take the car, Shen Congyu was supposed to take Yuan Qi's car, but because Jiang Xilin was there, she hesitated.

Yuan Qi put her luggage away and called out to her, "Sister, why don't you get in the car?"

Shen Congyu looked towards Jiang Xilin. He glanced at her and then got in the car.

Xue Mingrui was left standing outside, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

She didn't want to face an awkward situation right now, so she casually said, "Sister Cong Yu, you two should share a car. It would be a bit boring to be alone in the car."

Xue Mingrui managed to smooth things over.

Mainly because Jiang Xilin didn't say a word, they just accepted this arrangement.
