Chapter 715: Say You Like It, New Legend (Three Updates in One)
After Ling Xuan left, Zhong Ziang did not leave.
He also made an appointment.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Fuyue pushed the door open and came in, sitting opposite.
Zhong Ziang called the waiter: "One iced Americano and one mango mille-feuille."
He remembered everything she liked.
Jiang Fuyue: "Thank you."
Zhong Ziang was silent for a moment: "...I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Yeah, I know."
Jiang Fuyue was surprised to learn that he had enlisted in the army. A super rich second generation like Zhong Ziang didn't need to suffer this hardship at all.
But she vaguely guessed what he was doing.
"My uncle told you, right?" The young man pulled the corners of his mouth, his eyes calm.
Jiang Fuyue didn't hesitate and nodded generously: "Yes."
The corners of his mouth tightened, and his eyes fell on the girl's face: "Do you... like him?"
Jiang Fuyue was slightly startled, and when she met his stubborn eyes, she whispered, "If you don't like me, we won't be together."
Zhong Ziang was not surprised by this answer.
She is not someone who would put herself in a difficult position. If she refuses, it is because she doesn't like him, and if she agrees, it must be because she likes him.
But "like" does not mean "love".
At least when Jiang Fuyue answered that question, his eyes were calm and his expression was quite rational.
Zhong Ziang breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly a smile appeared on his lips: "Actually, my uncle has a lot of problems!"
Jiang Fuyue: “?”
"Well... first of all, he's tough, has low emotional intelligence, and doesn't like to talk. Secondly, he doesn't understand romance, can't make girls happy, and is a total science nerd. Finally, his face is so cold, he rarely smiles. If he holds you in his arms, you'd freeze into a popsicle. Do you believe it?"
Zhong Ziang counted on his fingers, one by one, and criticized his uncle with all his heart and without any reservation.
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows halfway through listening, her eyes fell on the back of Zhong Ziang, and her smile was meaningful.
Zhong Ziang was about to continue his rambling. "I'm telling you, this is just a general description. The specific details would take three days and three nights to list! I won't go too far, just talk about his last blind date—"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from behind me: "So in your eyes, I have so many flaws?"
Zhong Ziang's back stiffened and his smile froze.
He didn't dare look back.
Xie Dingyuan walked straight up to Jiang Fuyue, looking down at him with a cold gaze, his face expressionless: "Why don't you say anything?"
“…”
"Three days and three nights?"
Zhong Ziang stood up suddenly, and the chair legs scraped across the floor with a squeaking sound.
He didn't look at Xie Dingyuan, but hurriedly said to Jiang Fuyue: "My flight is at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Then, run away faster than a rabbit.
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
Jiang Fuyue couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed out loud: "Hahahaha... As expected of uncle and nephew, they act in exactly the same way?"
"Who is like him? I'm not, I don't." He denied it three times in a row.
"Who was it that sent me a message before I left saying that Zhong Ziang was quick-tempered, stubborn, disrespectful, and naive?"
“…”
"Oh, that person even asked me to send him the meeting place, but he came here without saying a word."
Xie Dingyuan: "..." As long as I remain silent, that person can't be me!
Jiang Fuyue finished the mango mille-feuille with coffee in a good mood.
“…Is it really that delicious?”
"It's delicious. Everything Zhong Ziang ordered is what I like."
The man's mouth tightened and he stopped talking.
Jiang Fuyue teased him deliberately: "What do you want to eat? Here, it's my treat."
"...I don't want to eat." I was so angry.
Jiang Fuyue didn't force it, she took out a tissue and slowly wiped her mouth, "I just heard Zhong Ziang say that you were going on a blind date?"
The man's expression froze: "Don't listen to his nonsense."
"So did they meet or not?" the girl smiled.
Although Xie Dingyuan wasn't sure what she meant, he didn't think of lying: "...I did. But after just one meeting, I rejected her!"
"What's the rush?" Jiang Fuyue raised her eyelids and glanced at him, the smile on her lips still intact. "I don't blame you."
“…”
"Come to think of it, you're almost 30, so it's normal for you to go on blind dates." The girl blinked. "Why did you reject me? Was it because I wasn't pretty enough? Or because I wasn't hot enough? Or because I wasn't smart enough?"
“…Neither.”
"Then why?"
"Because," their eyes met, the man's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his voice became low, "I was thinking about you all the time."
"!" Suddenly, I was attracted.
…
The next day, Jiang Fuyue ignored someone's resentful look and went to the airport.
When Zhong Ziang left yesterday, he left his flight time, simply because he wanted her to see him off.
Sure enough, when he saw Jiang Fuyue, the boy's face lit up -
He scratched his head: "Did you come here specially to send me off?"
"Well," Jiang Fuyue raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "Have a safe journey."
"When the army is on vacation and you are in the capital, let's have dinner together. I'll treat you."
"good."
"Well, I'm leaving..."
"goodbye."
The young man took a few steps forward, then suddenly turned back and quickly hugged the girl. The next second, he quickly stepped away: "Jiang Fuyue, I will become a very good person!"
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll wait and see how good it is."
You'll see—
Zhong Ziang swore silently in his heart.
Then, he walked into the security check without looking back.
Only when the figure disappeared did Jiang Fuyue withdraw his gaze and turn away.
…
Zhong Ziang got on the plane and began to sleep with his eyes closed.
But all that remained in his mind were memories of Jiang Fuyue: the classroom, the playground, the school gate, the alleys and streets...
A faint melancholy and loss surrounded him.
Why was it Xie Dingyuan?
If it were anyone else, he would have snatched her back at all costs.
But Xie Dingyuan...
Well, he had to admit that he couldn't win now.
"Hello, your seat is here." The sweet voice of the flight attendant came.
Zhong Ziang didn't open his eyes, he just felt that the seat next to him was occupied.
The flight took off on time at ten o'clock.
When Zhong Ziang woke up, the flight attendants had already started delivering meals and it was his turn.
"Here's the menu. What do you need?"
Then, the same words were repeated to the person sitting next to him.
Zhong Ziang picked out a few things he liked, then handed the menu to the person next to him. He subconsciously turned his head and only then could he see the other person's appearance clearly.
Then he was dumbfounded.
“…Why is it you?!”
Yi Ci's mouth twitched. "I was just about to ask why it was you? Did you install a radar on me?"
"Tsk, you? Are you worthy?"
Yi Ci sighed softly: "You're going too far. After all, we're brothers who have slept in the same bed together—well!"
"Shut up right there! Be careful of your influence in public!" Zhong Ziang's forehead veins bulged and he cursed through gritted teeth.
The flight attendant looked at the two of them awkwardly, hesitant to speak, "How about... you order first?"
Yi Ci didn't even look at it and said directly: "Same as him."
"...Sorry, we only have one serving of tuna sushi left."
Zhong Ziang raised his eyebrows proudly: "My my my, you don't have it! Hehe, you deserve it!"
Yi Ci smiled and said, "That's easy. Give me his share."
Zhong Ziang: "You're still asleep, aren't you? Why should I give you mine?"
"At least we share the same bed—well!"
"Shut up!"
"Will you give me the tuna?"
“…Give it to me!” Zhong Ziang’s fists creaked, but he had no way to deal with him.
Yi Ci: "Beauty, please give me the last portion of tuna. As for him, just take your pick. As long as you can eat it, that's fine."
The flight attendant's eyes wandered between the two handsome boys. "...Okay, please wait a moment."
The moment he turned around, his eyes lit up: "Oh my god! I got it! KSWL!"
Soon, the meal was served.
Yi Ci deliberately brought the tuna in front of him and swung it around, saying in a frivolous tone, "This looks very fresh, and it should taste good too. Let me try it... Mm! It's delicious! So delicious!"
Zhong Ziang: “…” Stupid X!
"Hey, do you want a bite?"
Zhong Ziang snorted coldly and turned to look out the window. The sky was blue and clear with white clouds.
"You really don't want to eat it? Actually, I don't like tuna that much. Oh, what a waste." Yi Ci shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on the next door.
Zhong Ziang turned his head suddenly, glaring at him: "Be a fucking human being!"
Yi Ci touched his nose and placed the tuna on the small table in front of him: "I just took a bite, it's clean."
Zhong Ziang glanced at it with a disdainful expression: "Take it away."
"If you don't want it, throw it away."
“…”
In the end, Zhong Ziang still ate it.
Well, it's just because he really wanted to eat tuna.
After the meal, the flight attendants took away the trash.
Zhong Ziang was about to go back to sleep when he suddenly remembered something and asked Yi Ci, "Why are you going to the capital?"
"A physical examination."
“!”
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Physical examination?!"
Yi Ci raised his chin, quite proudly: "Yes, the enlistment physical examination, hehe... I'm going to join the army."
Zhong Ziang: “…” It can’t be such a coincidence, right?
Yi Ci: "I remember you just arrived in Linhuai from the imperial capital two days ago. Why are you going back again?"
"Oh, a physical examination."
Yi Ci: “?”
Zhong Ziang chuckled twice: "Sorry, I have to join the army too."
“!”
…
It’s mid-August, the height of summer.
After obtaining the consent of Jiang Da and Han Yunru, Jiang Fuyue decided to go to the imperial capital early.
The school term at Mingda University starts in mid-September, and there is still a month left. She has already agreed with Xu Kaiqing to borrow his laboratory and expects to complete the thesis within a month.
After Han Qishan heard the news, he was so happy that he hummed a little tune at home all day long, singing: "Yueyue is coming... My little Yueyue... clang clang clang clang..."
Han Ke: "I think our dad is going crazy."
Han Shen: "No respect for elders or younger brothers."
Han Heng: "I'm not going crazy, I'm already crazy."
Han Qishan: "Have you cleaned Yueyue's room? Have you added new clothes and shoes? If it's not enough, we can connect the next room and make it a separate cloakroom."
Han Ting reminded without expression: "Grandpa, I live next door."
"Oh, it's the same if you move to the third floor."
“…” This life is unbearable!
But the next day he quietly took out his pocket money and bought a full-length mirror for Jiang Fuyue's room.
Well, it’s the masterpiece of a famous home designer from Country F, the kind that can be auctioned off at auction houses.
In preparation for Jiang Fuyue's arrival, three generations of the Han family, including grandfather and grandchildren, were busy and enjoyed themselves.
But some people are not so happy.
"...In advance? Why in advance?" Xie Dingyuan paused and didn't even bother to read the experimental report in his hand.
Jiang Fuyue leaned against the lab table, facing him. "I agreed with Old Xu to borrow his lab. It's summer vacation, so there are fewer people here, and the equipment is complete..."
"I also have a laboratory that I can lend to you."
Jiang Fuyue gave him a helpless look and said, "You clearly know that the biochemical laboratory and my research topic have nothing to do with each other."
The man was silent for a long moment. "...When are we leaving?"
"the day after tomorrow."
Xie Dingyuan held her hand, interlocking their fingers: "Can it be postponed for a week?"
After a week, the ongoing project will be almost completed, and the finishing work will be handed over to Lao Jin and Ding Yu.
In this way, Xie Dingyuan could accompany her to the imperial capital.
Jiang Fuyue shook her head: "A week late will delay the progress of the experiment. It must be completed before school starts."
Xie Dingyuan rested his head on her shoulder, lowering his brows and eyes, like a dejected dog: "Is there no room for maneuver?"
"Then... can I stay for two more days?"
Two days is the limit.
The man suddenly raised his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up: "It's a deal."
Jiang Fuyue: “…” She felt like she was being tricked.
Xie Dingyuan reached out and pulled her into his arms, saying softly, "I read online that parting when you're passionately in love is like torture."
Jiang Fuyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where did you learn these nonsense words?"
Xie Dingyuan: "A love blogger."
no……
"Why would you watch something like this?"
"I want to learn how to fall in love from them."
"Oh?" Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow: "So what did you learn?"
"I learned..." The man's hand left her waist and slowly caressed the girl's cheek. His dark eyes were deep and mysterious, like a jar of aged wine, emitting an intoxicating aroma before it was even opened. "We should kiss now."
Their eyes met, their breaths intertwined, the distance between them grew closer, and their eyes grew increasingly hazy.
Just as they were about to stick together, suddenly——
"What the hell! What did I see?!" Lao Bai stepped in, and the next second, he immediately turned around and walked out, saying, "I didn't see anything, you guys continue, continue..."
Lao Jin and Lao Bai were originally walking together, but Lao Jin was not as quick as Lao Bai in braking, and was caught off guard and stepped into the beautiful scenery.
It was too late to leave. He could only cover his eyes to deceive himself and silently say, "I am air, I am air..."
Ding Yu and Liu Guan fell behind, and Lao Bai quickly stopped them and pushed them out: "Don't go in! There's a bomb!"
"ha?"
"Pink bomb!"
"?"
Seeing the two of them acting like fools, Lao Bai suddenly pouted and made a loud puff of air. "Professor and Xiao Yueyue... cough! Do you understand?"
Ding Yu nodded quickly and retracted his foot: "I understand, I won't go in."
Liu Guan was slow to react, looking bewildered after reading it. "What happened between the professor and Xiao Jiang? And, Lao Bai, you're so flirty! Hahahaha...are you wearing Pinru's pajamas?"
Lao Bai: “…” Cherish life and stay away from idiots.
Half a minute later, Liu Guan: “!” Damn! Crashed into the scene? !
Ding Yu scratched his face: "Well...we can't just stay away from going in forever, right?"
Lao Bai: "You first!"
Ding Yu shook his head: "Liu Guan goes."
"No...why me?"
Walter White: "Because you are handsome."
Ding Yu: "Because you're cool."
Liu Guan: "Oh, thank you, but I'm not handsome or cool."
“…”
At this time, Lao Jin stood at the door and waved to the three people: "The professor wants you to come in."
Then they were exhausted that afternoon.
At this point, the four of them secretly decided in their hearts that from now on, as long as Jiang Fuyue was there, they would knock on the door before entering the laboratory.
Because professors are terrible and lessons are painful.
…
Since Jiang Fuyue had promised Xie Dingyuan to stay for two more days, she was not in a hurry to pack her luggage.
Xie Dingyuan has a project on hand, and it has now reached a critical stage. The laboratory cannot do without him, so naturally it is impossible for him to accompany Jiang Fuyue out shopping, dating, watching movies, etc.
Most of the time, Jiang Fuyue stayed in the laboratory with him.
However, she herself was not idle either. She used local materials, wrote programs, did research, and produced data, which amazed Lao Bai and others.
"See? This is the saying that sharpening the knife doesn't delay the chopping of wood. It's about working on two fronts, balancing love and career!"
"I learned it."
"As expected of a woman the professor has his eye on. In one word—amazing!"
Xie Dingyuan glanced over and the few people scattered instantly.
We stayed like this for a whole day, from sunrise to sunset.
Although the two were in the same space, they didn't talk much.
Xie Dingyuan was busy, and Jiang Fuyue was not idle either. Just when they occasionally looked up at each other and their eyes met, they felt very satisfied.
Lao Bai: "I always feel that there is another world between the professor and Xiao Yueyue, and no one can enter it except themselves."
Lao Jin: "Ah—this world is called 'love'!"
Everyone: “…”
Ding Yu: "In short, they are a good match."
"Ah," Liu Guan sighed softly, his eyes filled with envy, "I wish I could find a girl I like like the professor someday."
Lao Bai snorted lightly: "Do you think there is another Jiang Fuyue?"
Young, beautiful, good figure, and most importantly, extremely smart!
How many talented girls are there?
Lao Bai thought to himself: I haven’t even got it yet, how dare you!
…
Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan left on time at six o'clock every day, facing the evening sunset, drove to eat, took a walk after eating, and then returned home together under the moonlight.
"Let's stop here." Jiang Fuyue suddenly said.
"Not yet..."
"It's just a few steps. I'll walk over."
Ever since the two of them were almost caught being affectionate in the car by Jiang Xiaodi who was returning home from get out of class, Jiang Fuyue didn't dare let him park the car too close.
"Am I so shameful?" the man asked in a gloomy tone.
"I'm afraid you'll scare the kids."
Oh, and Jiang Da and Han Yunru.
At least at this stage when she has just graduated from the college entrance examination and has not yet entered university, her parents do not want to see her fall in love.
It’s not that there is much “unwillingness”, but at least it is not easy to accept in a short period of time.
"After school starts, you'll officially become a college student..." Jiang Fuyue leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth, "and then I'll give you a proper name."
A smile flashed across Xie Dingyuan's eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. His expression remained stern and tense: "...That's it?"
"otherwise?"
He tapped the center of his lips: "Kiss here."
Jiang Fuyue: “…”
"Whatever, I don't deserve the title anyway..."
The next second, the girl's soft lips came up to him, and a triumphant smile flashed in the man's eyes. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately.
It was unknown how long it took before the two separated.
Jiang Fuyue: "I'm leaving."
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
…
The day before leaving for the capital, Xie Dingyuan finished work early and took her to the downtown business district.
Jiang Fuyue: "What?"
The man had already found the line and was at the back: "Let's go to the movies."
Xie Dingyuan specially chose a romantic film "Oxygen Butterfly", the name of which sounds very literary.
Before entering the venue, he even ran to buy a bucket of popcorn and stuffed it into Jiang Fuyue's pocket: "...I've seen TV dramas played like this."
Jiang Fuyue: "..." What else can I do? Since it's bought by my boyfriend, of course I have to accept it!
Unexpectedly, less than half an hour after the two entered the theater, they were discouraged by the moaning and obscure plot.
Xie Dingyuan: "...are you leaving or not?"
Jiang Fuyue: "Retreat!"
Then the two of them bought another ticket, which was a high-IQ crime thriller with a brain-burning plot and powerful internal logic.
It is said that the screenwriter is a professor who studies both traditional criminal investigation and criminal psychology.
Very famous in the industry.
Jiang Fuyue lowered her voice and leaned close to his ear: "Who do you think the murderer is?"
Xie Dingyuan rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there a prize for guessing correctly?"
"What prize do you want?"
"Stay overnight tonight."
"Tsk...you're so beautiful! The secret will be revealed in the end anyway, why should I bother?"
The man looked regretful and said, "Then change another one."
"Change what?"
"Say you like me."
"make a deal!"
As expected, Xie Dingyuan guessed right.
After leaving the cinema, Jiang Fuyue stopped by the musical fountain and called him.
The man turned around.
At the moment when the water column shot up into the sky, Jiang Fuyue smiled and curled her lips, looking into his dark eyes, and said word by word: "Xie Dingyuan, I quite like you."
I like it a little more than I imagined.
…
The next day, Jiang Fuyue packed her luggage and set off for the imperial capital.
A new journey begins.
A new legend is about to be born...
Three updates combined into one, 6,000 words.
The Imperial Capital Chapter is about to begin~
