Chapter 5
"This is too outrageous."
After all this trouble, two hours passed, but the temperature outside was still hot enough to roast a person. Yan Qing found a nearby coffee shop and called Zhou Mingshu.
"I heard someone say that the woman was here to catch someone committing adultery."
Zhou Mingshu's gossipy heart burned fiercely, and he screamed, "Tell me more."
Yan Qing thought for a moment and pieced together the story for her: "When I came out, I heard that the boyfriend of the girl the man brought with him was also there, and they had a fight in front of the police."
There was a burst of exclamations from the other end of the phone: "This is so exciting! I wish I could be your soul and feel it right there."
"Haha," Yan Qing sneered, "I can still smell the smell of the soup all over my head."
Zhou Mingshu consoled Yan Qing for a while, then let out an "Ah!" and asked her mysteriously, "Are you still in the guild group?"
“I can’t find that number.”
Zhou Mingshu said with some regret: "Yes, you did."
Yan Qing was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
After getting the answer he wanted, Zhou Mingshu immediately sat up from the bed, his voice stronger, and revealed to her: "Brother Meiqiu spoke in the group a few days ago! I heard from the gang leader that he came back to play games. It would be great if you were in the group, maybe you two could get together." After saying that, Zhou Mingshu chuckled twice.
Seeing Yan Qing didn't respond, Zhou Mingshu didn't care: "Ever since you stopped playing, he gradually stopped playing games. At first, he would answer questions and solve problems for everyone in the group, but later he stopped talking in the group. It's been two years now. If you two had been together two years ago."
Yan Qing said in a relaxed tone, ignoring her: "He's having fun, why are you telling me this?"
"Why don't you come to your senses? If you two were like that two years ago, you might have been married now." Zhou Mingshu gritted his teeth, feeling so disappointed in Yan Qing that he wanted to grab her ears.
"You're really worried sick."
Seeing that her best friend still wasn't getting the message, Zhou Mingshu continued to counsel her, "What's wrong with meeting online? There are several couples in the gang. Oh, and I got two invitations this morning. The nanny I used to get along well with and her lover are getting married. I asked me to pass them on to you. Can you go together?"
Yan Qing remembered that the wet nurse had played many games with her. She was very easy-going and never lost her temper with anyone.
"Okay, when?"
"September 18th, three months away. It's in South City. We can live in the same room by then."
The two talked for a while, and Zhou Mingshu was called away by the people around him. Before hanging up the phone, he repeatedly reminded him not to forget to go to South City.
Yan Qing opened the calendar, wrote a reminder and sent it to her.
After doing all this, Yan Qing stared blankly at the calm sea. Those memories were too long ago. If she hadn't written the article, she might not have remembered many of them.
Come to think of it, the nanny who took her out to play was introduced to him by that man.
[Coal Balls I Love to Eat]: I have a business trip tomorrow, and I will find someone to take you to play competitively. It’s a nanny, and you can learn how to play a nanny.
Let the wet nurse teach people how to beat the wet nurse?
Yan Qing really wanted to ask the wet nurse if she was forced. She had already typed out words of refusal, but then deleted them one by one.
[Just eat spicy hotpot]: Will it be too much trouble for her?
[My favorite coal briquettes]: Once you learn how to make them, it won’t be a problem.
When he went online the next day, someone immediately sent him a team. When Yan Qing entered, he found that there were two people in it.
The news rang out among the team.
[Pink Lightning]: You're here! Let's play a couple of games first.
[Red Thunder]: I'm in line.
Yan Qing remembered that they fought for a long time that day until the power in the nanny's dormitory went out.
Knowing that her favorite coal ball had returned, Pink Lightning still came to play competitively with her, and occasionally played some other activities. This was the second friend Yan Qing met in this game.
A chapter update of Water to Freshness.
That small account commented very quickly, without a single word, just emojis.
Mingxu read the new chapter again and again, and after finishing it, he went to the group to read other people's discussions.
[Sad Rose]: This secret love story is too bittersweet, I plan to wait for the ending before reading it.
Someone quickly gave a +1 below.
Some people also expressed different opinions: Many secret crushes have no ending. What if the hero and heroine don’t end up together? Would you still want to watch it?
After this was said, even those who had not read the novel started to speak out.
"Did your mouth just come out of the refrigerator?"
"It's too toxic. Please ban him."
[Intellectually disabled but physically strong] was silenced for 1 hour by [Coal briquettes that I love to eat].
[Sad Rose]: Wow! Coal Ball Brother!
Ming Xu didn't like what this person said and said to himself: "Your secret love has no ending."
Thinking of this, he still felt unsatisfied, so he clicked on the information of [Intelligent but Strong Body] and increased his bet.
[Intellectually disabled but physically strong] was silenced for 24 hours by [Coal briquettes that I love to eat].
Zhou Mingshu, who was lurking in the group, saw this and immediately took a screenshot and sent it to Yan Qing: "Breaking news, breaking news!"
[Yan Qing]:?
[Zhou Mingshu]: Brother Meiqiu defended you in the group! Isn’t this love?
[Yan Qing]: What that person said has already caused anger among the group. Don’t drag me into this. Besides, he doesn’t read novels.
Zhou Mingshu quickly grasped the key point, and the voice message immediately popped up on Yan Qing's screen.
Although he was mentally prepared, Yan Qing was still shocked.
"How do you know that Coal Ball Brother doesn't read novels? Tell the truth!"
Yan Qing said she was innocent: "He told me that before."
Zhou Mingshu felt like he'd hit it again: "You remember all this? I don't remember the preferences of ordinary friends in the game."
Yan Qing sneered, "I'll never forget the time when you stepped on some dog shit as a kid and fell on another pile of dog shit."
Looking at the hung up call, Yan Qing chuckled.
More and more people came to the beach, and Yan Qing also left the coffee shop.
A little girl put her slippers on the waves in front of her as a boat. Yan Qing watched with great interest. Seeing that someone next to her was attracted by her masterpiece, the little girl became more and more excited until the boat was dragged away by the waves and disappeared from their sight.
The little girl first looked at Yan Qing, and then realized that she had no way to save her boat, so she immediately opened her mouth and burst into tears.
The mother who was watching the fun quickly picked up her daughter, comforted her with a smile, and even took the time to give Yan Qing an apologetic look.
"Don't cry, this candy is for you."
The candy was given by the coffee shop. Yan Qing doesn't eat candy, but she put it in her bag anyway. Now it happened to be useful.
Children's tempers are always changing. When they see candy, their unhappiness is thrown away to the other side of the sea.
Yan Qing was in a good mood having done a good deed, and slowly moved to a place with few people to draw inspiration.
Just as the driver said, most of the people coming to this beach are locals, and Yan Qing's ears are filled with dialects that he cannot understand. Before it gets dark, various barbecue and seafood stalls have been set up on the platform not far away. Seeing more and more diners, Yan Qing is not worried about not being able to find a car to go back.
"five hundred?"
Hearing the driver's exorbitant price, Yan Qing waved his hand and stepped aside.
The driver scoffed and nonchalantly reminded her, "Little girl, this is the price at this time. After ten o'clock, it will be eight hundred."
Seeing that Yan Qing was unmoved, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
After asking several cars, the drivers all gave the same answer. Yan Qing looked at the drivers chatting in groups on the roadside and called the B&B.
Liu Yuan was about to arrange a car to pick up the guests at the B&B when he saw Ming Xu coming back and mentioned it.
"All drivers are already scheduled at this time, and it will take at least an hour for a free driver to be available." She didn't want to make the customers wait too long. The drivers in that place had a bad reputation, and the probability of an accident would be greater if they stayed any longer.
Ming Xu glanced at his phone and said, "Send me the address and I'll pick her up."
The staff at the B&B said the driver would take another hour, so Yan Qing planned to find a restaurant to have a quick meal. Just after placing the order, she received a call from an unknown number.
She picked up Haicheng's number without saying anything. The other party was silent for two seconds, then slowly spoke: "This is Mingxu. I'm coming to pick you up now. Don't run around."
Mingxu? The boss also acts as a driver?
After hanging up the phone, Yan Qing thought that there were not many people in the restaurant, so the food would probably be served quickly. It takes 40 minutes to get here from the B&B, and if there is a traffic jam, it might take even longer.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved.
Ming Xu gripped the steering wheel tightly, looked at the dark clouds that were growing thicker in the distance, and stepped on the accelerator harder and harder.
A flash of lightning struck not far away. Yan Qing was startled and looked at the time. Only ten minutes had passed.
The dishes were served quickly. The boss, a cheerful woman wearing an apron, sat at the door, fanning herself. "Little girl, why are you out here alone?"
Yan Qing didn't say anything, wanting to finish eating quickly.
The young man who had just taken the order for Yan Qing saw the proprietress chatting with the customer, so he dragged a chair to sit by the door, staring straight in the direction of Yan Qing.
Noticing the unfriendly look, Yan Qing opened the call record.
"I'll be right there."
"Hurry up, the dishes are all here, otherwise they will get cold."
Ming Xu was puzzled: "Are you in trouble?"
Yan Qing felt that talking to an intelligent person was truly relaxing: "It's Tiger Sister Seafood at the intersection. If you can't remember it, don't come."
There were few cars on the ring road. Ming Xu listened to the intermittent voice coming from the other end of the phone and wished he could fly over immediately.
After parking the car, Ming Xu quickly arrived at the store Yan Qing mentioned according to the location.
Yan Qing was standing at the door of the shop. The tables outside were in a mess. Ming Xu walked over quickly, his tone a little anxious: "How are you?"
Before Yan Qing could speak, a woman came over and said in a cheerful voice: "I'm sorry, beautiful, that group of people drank too much and affected you. I will make another table for you and your boyfriend." As she said that, she was about to go to the kitchen.
Yan Qing quickly pulled the boss back: "No need, I'm full too."
Ming Xu said with a shrewd look: "It looks like it's going to rain heavily, we have to go back quickly.
The boss felt embarrassed and gave Yan Qing a box of crabs forcefully.
The two got in the car, and Yan Qing spoke first: "You can take the crabs back.
"Are you okay?"
There is really no way to treat this guy as an ordinary driver.
"It's raining."
The weather in Haicheng is unpredictable. The thick dark clouds in the sky and the lightning that crackles the horizon have not brought a drop of rain.
Along the way, the car was surprisingly quiet. Yan Qing would not communicate with strangers, even though he was the owner of the B&B where he was staying.
Mingxu drove the car for forty minutes, and even when he was waiting for the traffic lights, he never took his eyes off the road ahead.
The lights of the B&B appeared in front of him. Yan Qing thought for a moment and said, "Thanks to you today."
“The B&B’s car is not free.”
Yan Qing was stunned and opened his phone to pay.
But seeing Ming Xu was unmoved, she shook her phone and heard a chuckle: "Didn't you give it to the crab already?"
