Chapter 62
Today is Yan Qing's moving day. Zhou Mingshu called Luo Jing to help. Yang Mingzhou also went to bed early yesterday so that he could get up early today and not have to eat without doing anything.
She didn't have much stuff, and she brought back very few boxes when she came back from abroad. Many of her daily necessities had already been arranged by her parents and uncle and placed in her new home.
Luo Jing stood at the door of Yan Qing's room and asked Yang Mingzhou with his eyes: Can we go in?
It was the first time the two met. Luo Jing was now much more stable and no longer liked to communicate with others, but Yang Mingzhou was a talkative person, and after just a few words, he and Luo Jing became one-sided friends.
Not noticing Luo Jing's look, Yang Mingzhou pushed him into the room. Zhou Mingshu, who was carrying a pile of clothes out of the bedroom, saw the two boys looking at a loss and began to give them instructions: "You two will be responsible for moving the boxes. If I ask you to put things away, I'm afraid Xixi will only have two boxes left after she gets to her new home, even though she has four now."
Yang Mingzhou said stubbornly: "Not really? I'm an expert at storage."
The storage expert looked at the large and small bags and didn't know where to start: "Well, why don't I just move the things."
Most of the things left in the B&B are clothes, cosmetics, etc.
Yan Qing, who was wiping boxes on the other side, took over the conversation: "There's a cardboard box at the door. Put all my books in it."
This job was simple, so Yang Mingzhou did it alone.
Just after putting down two books, Yang Mingzhou suddenly remembered something: "Where's Mingxu? Why didn't he show up at this critical moment?"
The person who was mistakenly thought to be lazy stood at the door and stared at the person sitting on the ground with his back to the door. He said quietly: "Yang Mingzhou, get up earlier next time. I will take you with me no matter what I do."
"Hey, I'm just concerned about you."
After talking about Yang Mingzhou, Ming Xu glanced at Yan Qing who was packing clothes and asked everyone, "Who wants to go shopping with me?" He originally wanted to go alone, but Yan Qing disagreed and insisted that he bring someone else.
Buying groceries? Yang Mingzhou was interested, but then he thought that he would just be doing hard labor if he went, so he gave up the idea of going out together.
Yan Qing couldn't cook and just wandered around the supermarket aimlessly. Zhou Mingshu was even worse. Luo Jing could cook, but he and Ming Xu had only met a few times and weren't very familiar with each other. At this moment, Zhou Mingshu spoke up: "Why don't you go with Luo Jing? My brother cooks delicious food."
"Okay." Luo Jing stood up and hesitated again, "Box?"
Yan Qing: "Go over there after you finish buying the groceries. My uncle will be here soon."
Ming Xu: "Let's go."
Luo Jing had no objection. He hadn't felt like he had a group of friends around him for a long time. If Zhou Mingshu hadn't introduced him to Yan Qing during school, he would have really been a lone ranger. After college, the three of them went to different schools, and he even went to a different city.
College is a time when it is easy to make friends, but Luo Jing is different. He does not join any clubs or activities. At the beginning of his freshman year, he applied for a house outside and did not even have the most basic roommates.
After the two left, Yang Mingzhou began to sit on the ground and laze around, flipping through Yan Qing's book. "Can I take a look?"
Yan Qing nodded: "What kind of books do you like? I think I only have some history and geography books here."
"I bought a lot of mystery books or science fiction books in college." Yang Mingzhou's eyes lit up when he talked about his favorite things. "I bought a lot back then, at least dozens of books. But when I moved dorms in my junior year, I lost two big boxes. I was so sad."
When Yan Qing and Zhou Mingshu heard Yang Mingzhou say that he loved reading, his image in their minds changed immediately.
Yan Qingben was a person who loved reading, especially after she started her current job, reading had become a commonplace. She had always thought that Yang Mingzhou was a rich young man who didn't have to work hard for a living and had no ideals of his own. He was just a useless person.
Zhou Mingshu was also surprised, and looked at him with a little more admiration: "You actually have such a noble hobby."
"Of course. Even though I don't work, don't take over the family business, and seem to be doing nothing all day, at least I don't have any bad habits. Otherwise, why do you think my dad would tolerate me running around outside every day?"
When talking about himself, Yang Mingzhou was even more proud. He knew many playboys with a lot of bad habits, and they had to clean up countless messes at home, but he was different.
"I just like to sleep, play games, and read books. I don't start a business or invest, and I don't buy luxury goods. My parents don't know how much they worry about me."
Perhaps this is also the reason why Ming Xu could become his good friend, Yan Qing thought.
The three of them packed up while chatting, and soon finished, waiting for Yan Zheng to pick them up.
Mingxu took Luo Jing to a supermarket near their new home.
Seeing the fish, Luo Jing wanted to buy it.
Crabs, buy them in clear order.
An hour passed, and the shopping cart in front of them was already overflowing, filled with the various vegetables Yan Qing had specified, Zhou Mingshu's favorite snacks, and Yang Mingzhou's favorite drinks. After shopping, the two of them headed straight for their new home. Yan Qing had given him the key this morning at dinner.
Luo Jing didn't say a word along the way. He didn't like playing with his phone, but it was not a good time to sleep, so he could only open his phone and browse various news and social platforms.
When he saw a certain scene, he suddenly frowned and turned off his phone. The trees outside the window quickly receded. He tilted his head to look at the tall buildings in the distance, and suddenly his mother's face flashed before his eyes.
Yan Zheng arrived late.
"Uncle, why did you come just now?" Zhou Mingshu was already resting on the sofa and almost falling asleep. When she heard Yan Zheng's voice, she slowly sat up and said, "I was almost ready for a nap."
"Don't mention it. My car was scratched by that bastard this morning. I've been dealing with it all morning. The car was taken for repair. The one I'm driving now is the one that Da Liu sent here." Yan Zheng was going to take his car to Yu'an District School in the morning. As soon as he arrived at the basement, he saw a long scratch on his car door.
"Who is Da Liu?"
"My uncle's friend, the new house was recommended by Liu Da."
When they arrived at their new home, Ming Xu was already cooking. Seeing Yan Zheng, he nodded without saying anything. Luo Jing, on the other hand, seemed to have seen his own uncle: "Uncle!"
Seeing Luo Jing, Yan Zheng was also a little dazed. Ever since Luo Jing went to college in another place and he had a conflict with his family and left Yuancheng, the two of them had no chance to meet again. He opened his arms and hugged Luo Jing: "Good boy, you have grown so big."
Luo Jing was also very happy: "Uncle, when did you come to Haicheng? Sister Xixi and my sister didn't tell me."
Zhou Mingshu rolled his eyes and went to walk around other rooms. "Xixi, your house is really nice."
No one paid attention to the chef who was working hard in the kitchen.
Yan Qing walked in and stood beside him, helping him in the kitchen. Ming Xu then complained to her in a low voice: "We agreed to help in the kitchen at the supermarket, but he ran away as soon as you guys came. I won't take him to play next time."
When Ming Xu saw Luo Jing, he thought of the first time they met. Although he didn't know who he was, he still regarded him as his imaginary rival in love. It was really funny.
"I'll talk to him later."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yan Qing began to call people to work. Seeing the two people in the kitchen, he smiled but said nothing. Luo Jing suddenly realized something and walked towards the kitchen, but was stopped by him: "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to help in the kitchen. I promised Brother Mingxu at the supermarket that he's the head chef today."
Yan Zheng signaled with his eyes to the two people in the kitchen: "They don't need you anymore, what are you doing over there? Work here, take a rag and wipe off any dust you see."
Seeing the two people talking and laughing in the kitchen, Luo Jing nodded, fortunately he didn't go over.
The four people who were talking in the living room just now were now gone. Yan Qing was a little confused and shouted from the kitchen door, "Where did they all go?"
Yang Mingzhou's voice came from the large bookcase in the living room, browsing the books: "Working, what can I do for you?"
"fine."
Ming Xu called out to Yan Qing, and she turned and went back into the kitchen: "Do you need me to do anything? Chef Ming."
The fire was turned off. Mingxu picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and handed it to her mouth: "Just be my taster."
"Delicious!" It was the first time for Yan Qing to eat Ming Xu's cooking. He had heard him talk about it before, and also heard Yang Mingzhou say that Ming Xu's cooking was better than that of his chef. Today he finally got to eat it.
Watching Ming Xu carefully arranging the dishes, Yan Qing suddenly thought, if she got married in the future, would she be able to eat it every day?
"Okay, I'll give you a part-time job as a waiter."
"Yes, Chef Ming."
Dishes were served one after another. Yu An also came, carrying a bag full of bags: "I bought some braised food, all of which are Haicheng specialties, and some desserts. You can eat them after dinner."
After lunch, Yu An and Yan Zheng left. She had work to do in the afternoon and couldn't stay long. Yan Zheng didn't want to stay with a group of juniors, so he left too.
Luo Jing was going to get his business license in the afternoon, and also had to prepare the placement of various equipment and machines that would be delivered tomorrow. Although Zhou Mingshu said that he didn't care about him, he followed him.
"Then should I go with you?" Yang Mingzhou asked as he looked at the two people who were about to go out.
Yan Qing didn't care. Anyway, he could only go back to the B&B to rest. "You can stay here and help us clean up."
Just then, Yang Mingzhou's phone rang. It was Yang Zhaoye calling. He didn't dare to answer and gave the phone to Mingxu: "My sister wanted me to go back to North City today, but I refunded my ticket. Can you help me?"
"Sister Zhao Ye, I'm Ming Xu."
Hearing Mingxu's voice, Yang Zhaoye's initial anger disappeared, and his tone became calmer: "Xiaoxu? Is Yang Mingzhou with you?"
After waking up in the morning, she sent a message to Yang Mingzhou asking him if he wanted to go to the airport together. However, Yang Mingzhou said he was going to buy something and asked her to go first. It was not until they passed the security check that Yang Mingzhou said he would not return to Beicheng and asked her to go first.
Yang Zhaoye was furious. If she could get out now, she would have taught Yang Mingzhou a lesson.
When Yang Zhaoye heard Ming Xu's voice, he guessed that his younger brother asked Ming Xu to cover for him again. His younger brother had done a lot of this during college.
Ming Xu glanced at Yang Mingzhou. The person in question clasped his hands together, silently saying "please", his eyes full of pleading.
Yan Qing watched the excitement from the side, covering her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
"He was getting together with friends today, but he was afraid that you wouldn't agree, so he acted first and asked for your consent later." Ming Xu had no choice but to clean up the mess for him.
I didn't know what was said on the other end, but I heard Ming Xu say, "Don't worry, I'll let him go back in a few days. I'll personally take him to the airport and see him through security."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Mingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the sofa, motionless.
He sighed, "Brother Xu, I'm lucky to have you. If I didn't have you, I don't know what I would do."
Ming Xu ignored his nonsense: "Your sister asked you to go back to Beicheng for a blind date in a few days."
What was to come was to come. Just as Ming Xu finished speaking, he saw Yang Mingzhou staring at him and coldly refused: "I won't help you this time."
Seeing that Mingxu ignored him, he looked at Yan Qing again. Mingxu stepped forward and covered Yan Qing's eyes: "You don't have anyone to look for this time. Your sister said that if you don't go back to North City, she will bring people to South City."
"Does this relationship have to be a relationship?"
