Chapter 68
It was already early morning in Germany, and the first thing she thought of was whether Mingxu had been woken up by work again.
Ming Xu pulled a pillow over, placed it behind him, and replied while half lying down: "I dreamed of you and wanted to see you." His eyes were burning, and his longing seemed to see through the screen.
The two had only been separated for a few days, and Yan Qing originally thought that he was not the kind of person who would miss someone strongly.
She still underestimated herself. Ever since Mingxu left, she no longer had the heart to work. At first, she forced herself to cheer up, but when it was almost time to go to Lingcheng, she gave up.
In addition to being busy with film and television adaptations every day, I have stopped writing new articles. But fortunately, I have some manuscripts saved, so I can hold on for a while.
Ming Xu listened to the noisy voices on the phone and slowly expressed his longing: "If I had known I would think this way, I should have brought you with me, so I wouldn't have to open my eyes and not see anyone."
Listening to his words, Yan Qing lowered his head and laughed secretly: "Then is it too late for me to go over now?"
He wanted to, but he couldn't.
Seeing Mingxu silent, Yan Qing urged him: "Go to sleep quickly, there is still a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Ming Xu, however, was not as obedient as usual: "I want to hear your voice again."
Because Yan Qing was outside and it was not convenient to video chat, he just made a phone call. At this moment, he felt a little regretful.
"Okay, stop making trouble and go to sleep."
The longing is indeed strong.
Both of them hung up the phone reluctantly.
Looking at the men and women walking by, Yan Qing quickened his pace. Looking at the bag in his hand, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
The driver went to pick up Zhang Miao and her boyfriend first. When they arrived at Yan Qing's seat, Zhang Miao still greeted her enthusiastically: "Hurry up and get in the car. You're freezing to death."
Although the city in the evening is not as cold as Bazi Mountain, the cold wind still penetrates into people's skin through the gaps in clothes.
Seeing that Yan Qing didn't buy much, Zhang Miao was a little confused: "Is this all you bought? Did you buy the hot packs? I have a lot, I'll bring some for you tonight."
Yan Qing: "Not needed at the moment, thank you."
It’s not necessary, Zhang Miao doesn’t think. The mountains are different from the city. She doesn’t look like a northerner. She is probably from the south and has not been ravaged by the cold here.
"You're welcome. I'll get you some when I get back. You can put it on when you go up the mountain."
Seeing that Zhang Miao would not tolerate rejection, Yan Qing did not reject her kindness: "I will come to you when I need you."
"Okay, then you're welcome."
Zhang Miao felt that her companion that night seemed to be less wary of her. Thinking of this, she started talking more.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yan Qing start to respond to his girlfriend's words.
After separating from Yan Qing in the morning, Zhang Miao was lectured by her boyfriend, and both of them were a little unhappy about it.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her enthusiasm: "Although she doesn't talk much, she doesn't mind my questions. You're thinking too much. She accepted everything I gave her." She felt that her boyfriend was a little stubborn and always had inexplicable hostility towards strangers.
Seeing that his girlfriend didn't listen, the boy felt a little embarrassed. His starting point was also good.
My girlfriend is so enthusiastic. When she goes to the supermarket to buy things, she can chat with the customers next to her. When she buys vegetables, she can chat with the boss. She can even chat enthusiastically with the guests at the next table when she eats.
Being overly enthusiastic has its pros and cons. He was worried that his girlfriend would be cheated by people with bad intentions, and the two of them always had unpleasant arguments over these little things. Over time, Zhang Miao gradually became less enthusiastic.
But when she saw Yan Qing this time, she couldn't help but want to talk to her.
Yan Qing took out a few packets of snacks from her bag and handed them to Zhang Miao: "Try some dried meat from Lingcheng."
"Wow!"
Zhang Miao took it and handed a few to her boyfriend, who immediately opened the bag and ate one. "It's delicious."
She looked at the words on the package in her hand, then took out her phone and took a picture. "I'll buy more on the way back. It's so delicious. You're such a good shopper."
Yan Qing bought a lot, and at this time he was not stingy: "When we get back, I'll give you a little of each, you can try it."
"That's too embarrassing. I'll give you some local specialties tonight."
After saying that, he realized that he seemed a little strange. Who would bring local specialties when traveling? So he explained, "I have a bad stomach and I'm worried about the local climate, so I brought some."
After she finished speaking, she and her boyfriend exchanged a glance, then looked at Yan Qing and chuckled, "I didn't expect that nothing would happen this time. It seems that Lingcheng is really a good place."
After returning to the B&B, Yan Qing went back to her room first.
Zhang Miao also pulled her boyfriend upstairs. She had to come out before Yan Qing and couldn't let her wait for her.
My boyfriend laughed: "Are you happy now?"
"Hehe, you must have miscalculated this time. I'm very good at judging people." He was like a proud little fox.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong."
After returning to the room, Yan Qing first took out the bags that needed to be opened, put them away without stopping, and then took them downstairs to Zhang Miao.
After a quick dinner, she began to pack her luggage.
The proprietress was surprised to hear that she was leaving, but she didn't ask any questions.
People come and go here, and everyone has different things to do. There are also many young people like Yan Qing, who come happily today and leave with an anxious look on their faces the next day.
The next morning, Yan Qing got on the bus leaving Bazishan. Before leaving, he asked his boss to inform Zhang Miao.
If the plan remains unchanged, perhaps the two of them can really become friends.
Today is a good day with bright sunshine, suitable for traveling.
Yan Qing was a little anxious, but fortunately there was a time difference, and Mingxu was still sleeping at this time. As long as he could get through the overlapping period in the afternoon, he would be fine.
[Yan Qing]: We went up the mountain and the signal was not good.
Germany.
Ming Xu saw Yan Qing's message after he got up. Without thinking much about it, he sent her his work schedule and immediately started working, just to be able to go back early.
"Mr. Ming, the meeting is about to start."
At noon, we received the news that Yan Qing had returned safely.
Twenty hours later, Yan Qing landed in Berlin.
Mingxu happened to be very busy these past two days, and he only slept for three or four hours a day, not to mention video calls or phone calls.
Yan Qing changed the phone card and sent a message.
[Yan Qing]: Are you off work?
Ming Xu had just seen off his partner and was sitting in the office to rest. When he saw Yan Qing's message, he loosened his tie and called her on video.
The moment he saw the person in front of him, he was delighted, but when he saw the familiar background she inadvertently revealed, he was stunned: "Where are you?"
Yan Qing held it up and turned around: "Berlin, Mr. Ming, are you free? Come pick me up, it's too cold."
At this moment, Mingxu felt his breathing stagnate, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly. He rushed out of the office and found his assistant: "Give me the car keys."
The assistant was confused when the boss suddenly showed up. He took out the key mechanically, but before he could hand it to the boss, it was snatched away.
Looking at the boss's speeding back, I wondered: "What happened?"
The foreign employee next to him also spoke fluent Chinese: "It turns out the boss is so happy after get off work. Qiu, let's go, I'll take you for a drink."
Han Qiuheng glanced at his watch and saw that it was already ten minutes past the end of get off work time.
On the way to the airport again, countless fragments of the past two days flashed through Mingxu's mind.
Climbing mountains, resting, sleeping in, meetings, everything seemed to have been agreed upon to conceal Yan Qing's itinerary.
After seeing the familiar figure, he suddenly stopped.
The two looked at each other across the passers-by.
After confirming that he wasn't dreaming, Ming Xu strode over and picked up the person who had been staring at him and smiling: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I've got a surprise for you."
The two embraced at the airport gate. Some enthusiastic foreigners stopped and started to make noises. Yan Qing covered Ming Xu's ears and said, "These foreigners are so annoying."
Ming Xu corrected her: "We are on someone else's territory. Be careful. It would be bad if someone heard us."
Coming to Germany was a sudden decision. After Mingxu found out, he started to lecture her. She agreed with him, but she was thinking in her heart that she would dare to do it again next time.
He was obviously very happy, but he still insisted on being educated.
While waiting for the red light, Yan Qing raised her hand to cover his mouth: "Okay, stop talking, okay?"
Listening to his girlfriend's soft voice, Ming Xu sighed: "Next time, tell me in advance. Going abroad is not a trivial matter."
"I promise."
Mingxu didn't really want to educate her, but he was just happy but also worried.
Fortunately, I can get off work on time today, and fortunately there is no party in the evening. Everything is just right.
Yan Qing leaned against the car window, watching the scenery outside pass by. This was her first time in Berlin. "I used to think Germany was a cold, mechanical country with a highly developed industry. Everyone was more or less like their country, with a certain ruthlessness."
Her eyes fell on a car next to her. The driver was a woman who tilted her head to talk to her child in the back seat during the red light.
Ming Xu: "I also think that they are all very unkind. In the past, the cooperation with Germany was always handled by the eldest brother."
Speaking of Mingli, Yan Qing asked, "How's his esports career going?"
"I returned to my previous club. The owner used to work abroad, but later returned to China to start a business and achieved good results. When my eldest brother retired, he tried to persuade him to stay but to no avail. He was surprised when my eldest brother came to him a while ago and agreed to his return immediately."
"I don't know if Big Brother will still play games with a mask in the future."
Everything is moving in the right direction.
Yan Qing came suddenly, so on the way to the airport, Ming Xu asked his assistant to book a restaurant.
“I wanted to order it myself, but I didn’t know where to start.”
Speaking of this, Ming Xu felt a little embarrassed. Before, he never understood why Ming Li had to have his assistant handle many of his personal matters, but now he had to follow in his predecessor's footsteps.
It is a couple's restaurant serving German cuisine.
The restaurant has a beautiful environment, with piano and violin performances on the stage.
Looking at the various breads and salads on the menu, Yan Qing frowned: "Just seeing bread makes me sleepy."
The two looked at each other and left the restaurant.
Yan Qing sat on the chair with her legs hugged, her eyes never leaving the busy figure in the kitchen. Hot air wafted out, Yan Qing sniffed, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.
"Instant noodles are still delicious at this time." Suddenly he thought of something and laughed out loud.
Ming Xu, who had just opened the pot, held the lid in one hand and turned around: "What are you laughing at? You look so happy." As he spoke, he scooped out the noodles.
“I’m happy that I don’t have to eat bread in a foreign country.”
Ming Xu agreed: "When you are with your loved ones, you can also enjoy eating bread."
Hearing this, Yan Qing disagreed. She had had enough of bread. "It's okay if it's domestic bread, but forget about foreign bread. The first time I ate it, I thought I'd bought a brick."
The bowl in front of him was steaming, with a few vegetables and a poached egg on top. Yan Qing picked up the chopsticks and poked the egg. The yolk inside came out impatiently. Then, he picked up a chopstick of noodles and put it into his mouth.
"Be careful of the heat."
"It's delicious, much better than what I cook myself. What did you put in it?"
"like."
As soon as the words fell, Yan Qing swung his arms and said in disgust: "I have goose bumps. Where did you learn these words?"
Ming Xu: "Eat quickly."
Seeing that Mingxu didn't know how to use chopsticks, Yan Qing urged him, "Hurry up and eat."
The two sat face to face, Yan Qing was eating noodles intently. Since she was a child, she was taught not to talk while eating. Ming Xu looked up at her from time to time.
At this moment, he suddenly suspected that his girlfriend was an elf, otherwise how could she make his dream come true.
