Chapter 572: Two Men Fight, Secretly Competing (Part 1 and 2)
Xie Dingyuan drove the car and did not leave Yutian Huafu directly.
Instead, he walked around the Jiang family villa and found that the lights were not on.
After driving out of the community, he held the steering wheel, his mind blank for a moment.
Where to go?
Or in other words, where could Jiang Fuyue be?
That’s right, the man knew very well that this trip out to get some fresh air was fake, and the real reason was to see if he could find Jiang Fuyue.
Xie Dingyuan suddenly remembered that Zhong Ziang said in the afternoon that Jiang Fuyue was going to take her friend out for dinner...
He immediately turned around and headed towards Jiang Ji Private Kitchen.
When we arrived, it was exactly nine o'clock and business was booming. There were quite a few people queuing outside the store.
"Goodbye, two little fairies. Welcome to come again next time!" Cao Dou stood at the door to see the guests off.
"Brother Dou, don't see me off. It's windy outside and I'm afraid it will blow your already thin hair bald. Go inside quickly." The fans' joke was really funny and immediately caused a burst of laughter.
Cao Dou touched his nose and said, "You guys can't get away without insulting me, right?"
Suddenly, his eyes paused and fell on the familiar Mercedes-Benz across the street.
hiss……
Cao Dou walked over and knocked on the car window.
The glass came down, revealing a face with 100% national popularity.
"It's really you, Professor Xie! I thought I had made a mistake..."
"Hello. Is Jiang Fuyue here?"
"He was here before, but he left after dinner."
"How long did you walk?"
Cao Dou looked at his watch: "About twenty or thirty minutes."
"Thank you." After saying that, he started the engine and left.
Cao Dou: "?"
Xie Dingyuan walked straight along the street, and the night wind blew on his face, feeling a special kind of coolness.
Suddenly his gaze stopped and fell on the window of a dessert shop not far away.
…
"Besides the Mango Thousand Layers?" Ming Yu turned to look at her, his blue-gray eyes tinged with a focused tenderness. "What else do you want?"
"One portion is enough."
"good."
Ming Yu drove his wheelchair into the store. Under the curious gazes of the people around him, he calmly paid the bill and then took the takeaway bag handed to him by the clerk.
He handed it over to Jiang Fuyue.
"Try it?"
Before Jiang Fuyue could say anything, the glass door behind him was pushed open from the outside and a cool breeze blew in.
Jiang Fuyue subconsciously turned around, and at the same time, a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "What a coincidence."
Then, he turned to look aside and said, "Uncle Ming, long time no see."
"Ayuan." Mingyu nodded slightly.
"I remember the last time we met was at Zeng Chuan's academic salon. After that, I heard that you returned to the Northwest Research Institute. I didn't expect to run into you in Linhuai."
Ming Yu: “I didn’t expect that either.”
"You and Jiang Fuyue... know each other?" Xie Dingyuan's eyes wandered between the two of them, and he mentioned it just right without being rude.
Ming Yu looked at Jiang Fu Yue, and at that moment, she also looked at him.
Their eyes met, and a silent understanding lingered around them.
You can tell at first glance that he is a close friend.
Of course, it's also possible...
More than just friends.
Mingyu nodded and said "hmm" softly.
Jiang Fuyue smiled, as if agreeing.
"Since it's such a coincidence, why don't we sit down and chat? I haven't congratulated Uncle Ming on the successful Red 7 test explosion yet."
Ming Yu's gray pupils swept across Xie Dingyuan.
Although he couldn't focus, he was inexplicably sharp: "Why, you know Yueyue too?"
Month after month...
Xie Dingyuan's eyes dimmed slightly: "We just completed an experiment together."
Ming Yu raised his eyebrows. With Xie Dingyuan's current status, would he actually extend an olive branch to Jiang Fuyue, a high school student?
He pondered in his heart, but his expression remained calm: "Yueyue's scientific research ability is beyond reproach."
Xie Dingyuan nodded: "Yes," and turned to look at Jiang Fuyue, "I picked up a treasure."
The three of them sat down in the store.
Xie Dingyuan and Ming Yu were talking about research, while Jiang Fuyue was quietly eating her Thousand Layer Cake.
Thin egg skin, smooth animal cream, the fragrance of mango spreads in the mouth, and the sweetness ferments on the tip of the tongue.
Jiang Fuyue narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, like a lazy and comfortable cat.
The two men seemed to be talking seriously, using a lot of professional terms, but neither of them kept his eyes on the girl.
Suddenly, Xie Dingyuan met Mingyu's eyes, and Mingyu also looked into his eyes calmly.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Ming Yu: "How did A Yuan get to know He Yueyue?"
Xie Dingyuan: "No fight, no acquaintance. How about you?"
"She and I... have known each other for a very long time, so long that it seems like a lifetime ago."
The second half of the sentence successfully made Xie Dingyuan frown. He glanced at Jiang Fuyue and saw that she had no ill feelings about it. Instead, she was quite calm.
"Uncle Ming, how long do you plan to stay in Linhuai? You can go to the Museum of History when you have time."
"No, I'll leave in two days."
"You are coming to Linhuai this time?"
"Run some errands, meet some friends."
Xie Dingyuan unconsciously looked at Jiang Fuyue, but the latter did not bring himself into their conversation.
Focus on delicious food, no intention of getting involved.
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
At this time, there was cream on the corner of Jiang Fuyue's mouth.
He and Ming Yu handed over the napkin almost at the same time——
"Wipe it."
"for you."
After saying that, both of them were stunned.
Ming Yu seemed to understand something, and Xie Dingyuan also seemed to see through everything.
An invisible undercurrent surged between the two of them.
Jiang Fuyue was unaware of this and reached out to take the papers from the two of them, using one to wipe his mouth and the other to wipe his hands.
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
Ming Yu: “…”
"I'm done eating. How long do you want to chat?"
Ming Yu: "Let's go."
Xie Dingyuan stood up.
At this time, Zhong Hao came in from outside and stood next to Ming Yu.
The group of four left the dessert shop.
Not far away is the hotel where Mingyu is staying.
Jiang Fuyue: "I'll take you in."
Ming Yu did not refuse.
Xie Dingyuan said at the right time: "Let's go together."
Ming Yu declined politely: "It's just a few steps away. I won't bother you."
But he was willing to trouble Jiang Fuyue...
Xie Dingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly, a faint smile spread across the corners of his mouth: "I drove the car, and it happened that I went back with Jiang Fuyue."
"Together?" Ming Yu raised his eyebrows.
Xie Dingyuan: "We live in the same neighborhood."
Ming Yu's blue-gray pupils flickered slightly: "Okay."
After sending Ming Yu there, Jiang Fuyue stopped and said, "Have a good rest. Good night."
Ming Yu smiled and nodded: "See you tomorrow."
"Um."
After watching the two of them enter the elevator, Xie Dingyuan retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Fuyue raised her foot and followed.
"Why are you here?"
This direction is neither the location of history nor the location of Yutian Mansion.
He said, “I was just passing by.”
The two arrived at the parking lot, just across from the dessert shop.
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow: "Did you stop the car specifically to come over and say hello to me and Mingyu?"
"Don't be disrespectful. Call him Uncle Ming or Professor Ming."
puff--
uncle?
It’s a good thing he thought of this. I wonder what Mingyu’s expression would be when he heard it.
Jiang Fuyue: "I think it's better for friends to call each other by their first names."
"You and Mingyu? Friends regardless of age?"
Jiang Fuyue thought about it and nodded: "You can think so."
Xie Dingyuan: “…” So scary!
Get in the car and sit down, the man starts the engine.
During the trip, Xie Dingyuan suddenly mentioned the experimental project they were collaborating on. "...The paper is finished, but the modeling needs more detailed data support. Can you please come to the lab when you have time to discuss and refine your part with everyone?"
"good."
"How about tomorrow? Lao Bai, Lao Jin, Ding Yu and the others will be here."
"Tomorrow..." Jiang Fuyue frowned.
"Why, do you have other arrangements?" Xie Dingyuan remained calm.
"Yeah, I have an appointment with someone."
The man snorted in his heart, don’t think he didn’t hear it, it was an appointment with Ming Yu!
Xie Dingyuan: "Tomorrow is not Saturday or Sunday, are you free?"
"I've already asked for leave from school, it's no problem."
"……oh."
After entering the community, the car stopped in front of the Jiang family villa.
Jiang Fuyue got out of the car and closed the door: "Thank you."
"Hello--"
She looked back.
Under the streetlight, the man had handsome eyebrows and eyes, and his dark pupils seemed to be dotted with starlight.
"You can ask me any academic questions in the future."
Although Jiang Fuyue didn't know why he said this, she still understood his feelings: "Okay."
"Go back, good night."
"goodbye."
…
The next day Jiang Fuyue went to the airport early.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Kaiqing and Old Peter arrived together.
"Xu, can you first tell me what Chou looks like? How tall is he? Does he like black or white? Oh! Will he like my meeting gift?"
In response to the above questions, Xu Kaiqing just smiled and did not answer.
If you ask again, it’s: “You’ll know when we meet.”
"Old Xu—here—"
Jiang Fuyue waved at the two of them.
"Hey, look at that Chinese girl," Old Peter noticed immediately, "was she sent by Chou to pick us up? Oh, I guess Chou is either an executive or a successful entrepreneur."
"Only these two professions can be so considerate and thorough. I'm so smart..."
But the next second, he saw Xu Kaiqing smiling as he walked forward and hugged the girl: "Long time no see, I'm so sad..."
Two updates together, 3,000 words.
Sad news! This fish is in the hospital because of a problem with its appendix.
I went to the emergency room at four in the morning, did the nucleic acid test, and waited for the results. I was not officially admitted to the hospital until after seven in the evening. The running around was exhausting both physically and mentally. These two chapters were written in the hospital.
Unless anything unexpected happens, I will be typing in the hospital for the next few days. If there are special circumstances (such as worsening of the condition, immediate surgery, etc.), the updates may be less or untimely, or even stopped. I hope you can understand. I estimate that I will be discharged from the hospital in a week. I hope everything goes well and safely.
