Chapter 90 Drink First
Wang Fang sent Zhang Yang home. She stepped into the living room but was still in the yard. After a moment of hesitation, she felt something was wrong.
But she couldn't tell what was wrong exactly, it was completely based on intuition.
Li Zhiye saw her stop and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Fang turned to look at Li Zhiye: "Don't you think something is wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Li Zhiye didn't understand.
Wang Fang couldn't explain it, she just frowned slightly and finally walked into the living room, but then stopped and looked directly at Wang Yuxiu.
"Dad, I feel like something's not right."
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Yuxiu stood up, deliberately avoiding Wang Fang. "I can't stand it anymore. I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep. When are you leaving?"
"Right away. Wait until Tianyi comes back." Wang Fang said, "She went to see Zhang Yang off."
"So you're leaving tomorrow?" Wang Yuxiu said. "Don't go back home anymore. Just go straight ahead. I won't see you off."
"I know." Wang Fang said quickly.
Wang Yuxiu walked into the bedroom as he spoke. Wang Fang sat on the sofa and muttered, "It seems like Zhang Yang just got back. He didn't even go home, but came straight to our house."
Li Zhiye didn't hear anything and thought Wang Fang was talking to him, so he quickly asked, "What?"
Wang Fang waved her hand, indicating she wasn't talking to him, and thought to herself, "This kid's well-behaved, but coming to see my dad first is a bit much. Shouldn't he go back to his own house first? And he bought so many things." Normally, it's Chinese New Year, and Zhang Liangpeng coming alone to pay New Year's greetings is enough. The two families aren't actually relatives, but Zhang Yang made a special trip. It just feels like his motives aren't that simple...
Wang Fang thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason, so she asked casually, "Tianyi, will Zhang Yang develop his career in China in the future?"
Li Zhiye quickly said, "Tianyi has gone out to see Zhang Yang off."
"He hasn't come back yet?" Wang Fang realized it belatedly and frowned again. "Even if I sent him to his doorstep, he should have come back by now. Where has this kid gone again?"
Although Wang Fang had considered that, she waved away the absurd thought when she thought about how these children had grown up together and how they were used to being together. Wang Fang felt that Xin Tianyi and Zhang Yang were just best friends. Who doesn't have a friend they can confide in? Besides, when young people meet, they have endless things to talk about.
After waiting for a while, Xin Tianyi still hadn't come back, so Wang Fang asked Li Zhiye to go to the compound to look for her. She wanted to go back and rest as she had to leave early tomorrow.
After a while, Li Zhiye came back and said to Wang Fang, "It's God's will that we go back first. She will come back later."
"What is she doing?" Wang Fang asked cautiously, "With Zhang Yang?"
"There's another one. Three people are chatting in the courtyard."
"Oh." Wang Fang felt relieved and asked, "Are you wearing glasses?"
"right."
"Wei Ran." Wang Fang had already put her previous doubts behind her. "Forget it, let's wait for her a little longer. The luggage is packed anyway."
…
The two of them came out of their house and turned out of the alley, and they naturally held hands.
Zhang Yang listened carefully, and with Wang Yuxiu's reminder and Xin Tianyi's expression at the time, he understood what the two meant.
After walking a few steps, Xin Tianyi said, "You understand what my grandfather means."
"Hmm." Zhang Yang asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Xin Tianyi briefly talked about Wang Mingjie's marriage problems and told Zhang Yang that this incident triggered a strange circle, that is, her mother Wang Fang began to have many concerns.
"So I thought, why not wait a little longer and slowly reveal some information to my mother so she can figure it out naturally and accept it slowly? That would be easier for her to accept than if we suddenly gave her this explosive news." Xin Tianyi looked at Zhang Yang. "What do you think?"
Zhang Yang thought about it. His family was a mess, and his career was just beginning. If he followed the rules of a mother-in-law looking for a son-in-law, he certainly wouldn't be considered a good match. He wasn't afraid, but if he were to be thwarted, it would be emotionally draining on everyone involved. It would be better to do as Xin Tianyi suggested, subtly and slowly permeate the environment.
"As long as you're willing." Zhang Yang held Xin Tianyi's hand tightly, "I can do anything."
Xin Tianyi smiled, "That's right."
They walked slowly, each step taking a long time to catch up with the next. There were no streetlights where they were walking, and they could only see two dark shadows, coming or going, heading into the courtyard.
Wei Ran was so anxious that his throat was about to burst into flames.
He sat on the bench, not wanting to go home, and kept pressing and extinguishing the lighter in his hand.
Until the two of them came out, they were like two cotton balls, hugging each other and refusing to roll forward. They even rolled once and then rolled back twice, which was very slow and frustrating.
Wei Ran could only shout, "Can you two hurry up!"
Zhang Yang and Xin Tianyi quickened their pace. Not seeing Wei Ran around, they walked over and asked, "Why haven't you gone home yet?"
"I don't want to go back." Wei Ran complained, "It's annoying to go back. I saw you guys coming out of the alley a long time ago, and you haven't moved for a long time."
"Brother, you've seen us sitting there for quite some time. Shouldn't you have been sensible enough to not call us and just close your eyes, or just go home quickly?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile, "Shouldn't you have given us some time alone together?"
"You have plenty of time." Wei Ran put the lighter in his pocket, "Come have a drink with me tonight."
Xin Tianyi didn't understand and looked at Wei Ran: "What's wrong with you? Are you heartbroken?"
Wei Ran didn't reply, so Zhang Yang spoke for him, "He must have had a quarrel with his family. So, you should go home first. Isn't Auntie leaving tomorrow? Don't drink with us today. Just spend some time with Auntie."
"Well." Xin Tianyi said, "Then I'll go back first. They are still waiting for me."
Wei Ran had already pulled Zhang Yang along, "Let's go have a few drinks."
Zhang Yang said painfully, "I haven't gone home yet. Can you let me go home and tell you first?"
Wei Ran held him tightly and refused to let go: "Drink first."
"Okay, okay, let's drink."
