Chapter 21
Mingxu didn't answer this question until they arrived at the hotel.
As soon as the two got off the subway, Yang Mingzhou called, his voice a little urgent: "Where are you two? Do you want me to pick you up?"
Ming Xu angrily retorted, "Thanks to you, I've felt the warmth of the people of North City."
"Hey, don't be polite, we are good brothers."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Qing prepared to go back to the room: "Let's go back and rest."
Yan Qing had just finished washing up when she heard someone knocking on the door. Looking at the strange girl at the door, she was about to close the door: "Wrong person."
"I'm just looking for you."
Not remembering who this girl was, Yan Qing decided to find out what she wanted to say.
The two of them came to the hotel's small bar. Chen Xue didn't hesitate to order the most expensive drink for herself, but her eyes never left Yan Qing.
"Let me be frank. I advise you not to go after Yang Mingzhou."
Looking at Chen Xue's arrogant expression, Yan Qing suddenly remembered where he had seen this face before.
She raised her eyebrows and said bluntly: "It's not your turn to say that."
Chen Xue's face changed instantly, and her voice became shrill. "I'm not discussing this with you. You'd better be sensible. You're not from North City, are you? Are you scheming so hard just to get ahead? Do you know what Yang Mingzhou did when he suddenly left during dinner? And that guy next to you, do you really think he'd like you?"
Yan Qing found it a little funny.
Chen Xue misunderstood, and as if afraid that she didn't know, her tone was a little excited: "He went to find Jiang Yue, his first love. They were childhood sweethearts, and both parents knew about it."
Jiang Yue? The one who was caught cheating abroad? Yan Qing understood.
Seeing the person in front of her was unmoved, Chen Xue suppressed her anger and warned sternly: "I'm warning you, no matter what your reason is, get out of here and go back to your home. Don't even think about getting anything from Yang Mingzhou. His sister is not someone you can easily mess with."
Yan Qing stood up and was about to leave when she saw Ming Xu walking towards her with a dark face, followed by the person who was the center of the conversation.
The two walked in, and Yan Qing said softly, signaling Chen Xue: "Yang Mingzhou is here, you can talk to him if you have anything to say."
Chen Xue didn't expect Yang Mingzhou to come. She didn't see Yan Qing using her cell phone.
Yan Qing didn't give her a chance to speak: "The person I'm interested in has never been Yang Mingzhou."
Hearing this, Ming Xu suddenly felt very grateful to the woman who came to cause trouble tonight.
He followed Yan Qing. The person in front stopped, turned around and looked him straight in the eye: "Why are you here?"
"The owner of this hotel is Yang Zhaoye."
Yang Mingzhou's sister? Yan Qing asked him with her eyes, and Mingxu nodded.
No wonder they came so quickly.
"Don't you want to know what she said to me?"
Mingxu met her eyes and said, "It's not important."
Yan Qing didn't want to continue and went straight back to the room. The moment she closed the door, it was blocked by a hand. Ming Xu spoke slowly and steadily, like a trickling stream, "Am I the one you're interested in?"
The door was closed. Ming Xu stared at the door so close to him and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Qing leaned against the door, breathing rapidly.
Why close the door? Wouldn't it make her look guilty? She wanted to open the door and explain, but she held back.
Yan Qing was sitting on the sofa, still a little dazed when she heard the sound, until the knock on the door sounded again.
When she opened the door, she was stunned.
Yang Mingzhou: "Why do you seem a little disappointed?"
Yan Qing: "Why are you here?"
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble today. Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again." Yang Mingzhou felt very guilty. If his affairs caused estrangement between Ming Xu and Yan Qing, his sin would be too great.
"She can't possibly chase him all the way to Haicheng."
Hearing Yan Qing's joking words, Yang Mingzhou also breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you weren't affected. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
Watching Yan Qing close the door, Yang Mingzhou slipped into the next room.
"What happened to you two?"
Ming Xu lay on the sofa and said softly, "I also want to thank your friend."
"She's absolutely insane. I gave Chen Jiangyue some face because of our relationship, and I also felt that as a girl, she shouldn't have to endure all this. I didn't expect these two to come after me and kill me." Yang Mingzhou was still thinking about what had just happened, and he pulled over a chair and sat down. "And that Chen Xue, I don't know what she said tonight, but I just went to see Yan Qing, and she didn't seem to be affected by this mess."
After saying this, Yang Mingzhou remembered that Ming Xu seemed to have spoken to him just now: "By the way, what did you just say?"
"I said I want to go to bed." Ming Xu got up and walked towards the bedroom.
Yang Mingzhou glanced at his phone: "It's not even twelve o'clock yet, do you want to go out for a drink?"
Yang Mingzhou, who was kicked out, shrugged and returned to his room.
The next day, Mingxu was going to do some serious work, and Yang Mingzhou volunteered to accompany Yan Qing to travel around North City, but was rejected.
He was a little unwilling: "I guarantee you will be satisfied with my arrangement."
"I want to go back to school to see the teacher."
"I'll go with you." Yang Mingzhou was determined to follow her for Mingxu, but in the end he was pushed away by Yan Qing.
After returning to university, Yan Qing stood at the school gate, feeling a little helpless.
The security guard watched her from a distance and finally relented, "Student, it's not that we can't let you in. We just need to make an appointment now. Even if you have an alumni ID, it won't work."
Yan Qing was about to leave when she heard someone calling her.
"Gu Lan?" She was very surprised. She didn't expect to meet her former roommate here.
Gu Lan hadn't expected to see her roommate of four years at school. She pulled Yan Qing along as they were about to enter the school gate. The security guard saw how familiar the two seemed, but continued to do his duty diligently: "Sorry, classmate, you can't enter without an appointment or someone bringing you in."
"I'm a teacher." Gu Lan took out her ID.
After entering the school gate, Gu Lan took Yan Qing to her dormitory: "I live alone."
Yan Qing was a little surprised. She had never expected that the man who had said he wanted to measure the world with his feet would become a teacher now. Noticing Yan Qing's confusion, Gu Lan smiled and said, "After graduating from graduate school, I couldn't find a good job, so I continued on to study for a doctorate. Now I'm both a teacher and a student. However, Professor Zhang recently went out of town for a meeting and is not here."
"Meeting you is not in vain."
The campus was still the same as before. The two walked along the road they used to walk every day. Gu Lan was filled with emotion: "I didn't expect that you would really go abroad after graduation. I was stunned at the time. I really admire your courage. You went to so many places by yourself. I envy you so much."
Yan Qing: "You are so lucky now, with a stable job and a good education."
Speaking of this, Gu Lan's mood became a little depressed: "What's the point of having a stable job? I'm still going to be pressured into getting married. Let's not talk about this anymore. What happened between you and that guy in the end?"
Yan Qing didn't react for a moment, and Gu Lan reminded her: "It's the one who played games with you."
Yan Qing pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.
"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. Where are you now? Are you going abroad again after you come back this time?"
Yan Qing: "No, I'm in Haicheng now. Please tell me in advance next time you come."
Gu Lan: "Okay."
Gu Lan had something to do in the afternoon, so the two of them separated after lunch. Yan Qing wandered around the school aimlessly for a while and then left.
When leaving, you can still go through the same door you came in. The security guard was sitting in the booth. When he saw Yan Qing coming out, he stood at the door and greeted her: "I won't stop you next time you come."
Yan Qing smiled.
Ever since Ming Xu and Yan Qing were busy and didn't take him with them, Yang Mingzhou was bored and decided to harass his sister.
"Boss Yang, your brother is here?"
Yang Zhaoye was working. He looked up from the documents when he heard his secretary talking, put down his pen, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and stood up.
"Why are you here?"
Hearing his sister's voice, Yang Mingzhou jumped up from the sofa, changing his usual nonchalant attitude and speaking carefully: "Sister, I came to see you. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
The two siblings have had a close relationship since childhood. Yang Zhaoye asked, "No money again?"
"Sister! How can you make malicious assumptions about me!" Yang Mingzhou pretended to be angry, but the next second he put on an attentive face and sat down next to his sister. "If you're willing, you can also give me a little charity."
Watching his sister open her cell phone, Yang Mingzhou felt that he had made a fortune. He had not intended to ask for money this time.
The transfer notification had already appeared on his phone. Yang Mingzhou immediately stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Yang!"
Yang Zhaoye was no longer surprised by his brother's unfocused behavior. "Alright, you should be more mature and steady. Look at Mingxu, he's successful in his career. Look at you, if you have nothing to do, just come to the company to help out. This saves your parents from worrying about you every day."
Yang Mingzhou continued to act coquettishly: "Sister, you know I don't like to do these things, please forgive me, and speak well of me to my parents."
"You're not going home yet. When do you plan to go home to see your parents?"
"I'm here with Mingxu and his girlfriend this time. I'll be leaving in two days. I'll be back next month for my dad's birthday and spend a month with them."
Yang Zhaoye immediately grasped the key point of this sentence: "Mingxu has a girlfriend?"
It's over.
Seeing his brother's constipated face, Yang Zhaoye knocked him and said impatiently: "Why is it so difficult for me to ask you a question?
"Sister, he is still pursuing me. I was so happy to see you that I let it slip. Please don't tell anyone. Don't tell our parents, otherwise Mingxu will beat me up if he finds out." Yang Mingzhou clasped his hands together and begged.
He really didn't mean it this time, but his sister is not a person who plays by the rules. Now he can only pray in his heart that the storm will come slower.
The brother and sister talked for a while, and then Yang Zhaoye went to a meeting. Yang Mingzhou walked around the company, said hello, and left.
Looking at the news about his brother, Yang Zhaoye, who was in a meeting, made him another fortune.
[Yang Zhaoye]: Take good care of yourself outside. If you don’t have enough money, ask me for help.
[Yang Mingzhou]: My sister is the best to me!
It was very hot in North City right now, and Yan Qing didn't want to go shopping in the mall, so he went back to the hotel.
I happened to meet Yang Mingzhou who had just returned in the lobby.
Seeing Yan Qing, Yang Mingzhou recalled what happened in the morning and felt a little guilty when he spoke: "Why are you back so early?"
Yan Qing gestured outside and returned to the room.
It was not until the evening that Mingxu sent a message to the two of them.
The temperature in the north city dropped in the evening, which is very suitable for going out for a walk.
Yang Mingzhou had been waiting in the hotel lobby for a long time. When he saw Yan Qing coming out, he hurriedly ran to her and asked, "Where's Mingxu?"
Yan Qing was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of Ming Xu walking in from outside. He seemed to have just finished work and was still wearing a suit.
When people approached, Yang Mingzhou frowned: "Aren't you hot?"
Mingxu looked a little tired, and his voice was a little hoarse: "It's work-related."
"You look so formal." He glanced at his short-sleeved shirt and shorts. Yan Qing seemed to be dressed quite formally. "Are you two going to do something behind my back?"
Although the two had a good relationship, Yang Mingzhou had rarely seen Mingxu wearing a suit, let alone in the summer when the temperature was over 30 degrees Celsius.
"Let's go. I invited you to dinner and you're still talking so much."
