33 Chapter Thirty-three
◎ Raised point thread ◎
It's a rare weekend tomorrow, and Ying Yun doesn't have to be on duty. Yang Xueyi is looking forward to it as she has a day off. She even bought two tickets in advance and thought of several excuses to ask Ying Yun out to see a movie.
However, when she woke up in the morning, she found that Ying Yun had disappeared.
Although she felt a little disappointed, there was still a long way to go, so Yang Xueyi didn't care too much. She took a medical translation book and read it for a while, and then received a call from Qiao Qianqian.
"Are you free now? I'm shooting a guest photo at the gym and forgot my reflector. I don't have time to go back and get it. I remember there's a photography equipment store downstairs from your house. Could you buy me one and send it over? It's urgent!"
The gymnasium Qiao Qianqian mentioned wasn't far from where Yang Xueyi lived, so she readily agreed: "No problem, wait for me!"
"This outdoor gym is awesome! There are so many handsome guys and it's full of hormones. You should really come here every day after get off work since you're so close! This kind of place is so yang-filled!"
Qiao Qianqian was probably evaluating the handsome guys while talking: "This one has a nice face, but the height is a little off; that one has great muscle lines, but unfortunately the face is a bit inferior, and the head is edible; this one is good! This one is okay! The height proportions are perfect, and the muscles are just right. The last person who made me praise him like this was Ying Yun. Let me come closer to take a look at his face..."
Qiao Qianqian suddenly fell silent.
Yang Xueyi couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong? Is your face not good?"
"I thought I'd discovered something new, but it turns out it's the same old one," Qiao Qianqian said with regret. "I was thinking the quality was almost catching up to Ying Yun, but I didn't expect it to be Ying Yun."
Ying Yun?
"He's playing?"
"Yeah." Qiao Qianqian heard a noisy cheer in the background. "Playing basketball with a few guys. Look, Ying Yun just scored a goal, and the crowd is almost shouting!"
Yang Xueyi had originally planned to just put on some clothes and go out, but when she heard this, she pursed her lips, opened the closet again, picked out a bright red dress, put on some simple makeup, and then set off.
The early spring breeze blew on her face, and Yang Xueyi's heart felt light and joyful.
After she delivered the lighting board to Qiao Qianqian, she could create an "accidental encounter" with Ying Yun.
He was playing ball, so she went to bring him water.
Yang Xueyi in the mirror has red lips and white teeth. The skirt she chose is a slim fit with ruffled one-shoulder design. It is playful and sexy. The design of the chest is bold and flamboyant, lively and charming.
Ying Yun is at least friendly to her now, so Yang Xueyi is not in a hurry. She has plenty of patience and doesn't believe that she can't win Ying Yun over by subtle influence!
When they arrived at the gym, Yang Xueyi quickly found Qiao Qianqian and gave her the reflector: "I'm going to take a walk and I'll come find you later!"
Qiao Qianqian was busy with work and just waved her hand, not suspicious of Yang Xueyi's strange behavior.
Yang Xueyi felt quite guilty. She didn't dare to ask Ying Yun for his specific location. Fortunately, she quickly found Ying Yun by following the direction with the most people. Even in the crowd, Ying Yun always seemed to be the unquestionable focus.
It’s just that Yang Xueyi arrived a little late. The first half of the game was almost over and was obviously about to end and enter the halftime break.
A few brave girls rushed into the venue and seemed to ask Ying Yun for his contact information, but they were all rejected by Ying Yun. Ying Yun also confiscated their water.
Qiao Qianqian has seen countless men, and most of her words are insightful and accurate, but Yang Xueyi feels that she has made a mistake this time.
If Ying Yun was not really sober, he wouldn't even need to take the initiative. As long as he accepted everyone who came to him, he could have a seamless relationship for 365 days.
This man is quite principled.
Yang Xueyi was very satisfied.
If you want to do it, you should do it with a man like this!
"Ying Yun!"
But before Yang Xueyi could call Ying Yun, someone got there first.
But he's a man.
Yang Xueyi looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned.
Yang Xueyi knew this man.
She remembered very clearly that the other person was a good friend of Ying Yun at the International High School. When she looked further, she realized that the people behind him were also friends who often came to Ying Yun's house to play basketball with him.
Didn’t Ying Yun say that after he became poor, these rich friends stopped associating with him?
But these people were obviously playing basketball with Ying Yun just now, with sweat on their bodies and faces, and even patted Ying Yun's shoulder intimately. They were chatting together in a familiar and relaxed manner, and it was obvious that they had a close relationship.
It is an indisputable fact that his family has encountered misfortune, but his former friends obviously did not cut off their ties with him just to curry favor with him.
Ying Yun lied.
"By the way." One of the boys put his arm around Ying Yun's neck, and Yang Xueyi heard his full-bodied voice, "I've been single for two years. Do you have any reliable and good-looking beauties around you who you can introduce to me?"
Yang Xueyi's heart was like the ebbing and flowing tide, and she waited anxiously and nervously for Ying Yun's answer.
So Ying Yun...actually lied because he was worried about introducing someone to himself?
It was clear that not only were his friends still friends with him, they were even single people who wanted to be in a relationship.
How would he answer?
It was at this moment that the boy, as if by divine intervention, asked the crucial question: "Are you still in touch with the daughter of your former nanny? Is she still single? She's super beautiful. Introduce her to me."
In the warm spring sunshine, Ying Yun is tall and straight, and wearing a jersey makes him look younger, with a sense of vigor and vitality in his cold arrogance.
Yang Xueyi saw him tilt his head and lower his gaze. His tone was calm and normal, without a second of hesitation: "No contact, no idea."
After he finished speaking, he seemed not to want to continue this topic. He finished drinking the water, turned around and walked towards the trash can with the empty bottle.
It's just that Ying Yun left, but the discussion about Yang Xueyi didn't end——
"Didn't you want to pursue her back in high school? The first time you saw her at Ying Yun's house, you couldn't walk. Ying Yun stopped you then, saying her warmth towards you might be fake, and told you not to think she was interested in you and to chase after you like a fool. Have you forgotten? Haven't you met enough hypocritical people who say one thing in public but do another in private? Why are you still obsessed with her? You're obsessed with her!"
"Besides, that woman is so beautiful, there's no way she's single. She's also so realistic, so she must have been married a long time ago and probably has several children already."
"That's right. And can't you see that Ying Yun hates her? Every time he mentions this woman, his face turns unhappy. It was like that before, and it's the same now. How could he still be in contact with that woman? You really can't help but bring up things!"
…
Soon, when Ying Yun came back, the friends started talking about other things. Several of them were smiling, and the topic of Yang Xueyi seemed to have never existed.
**
Outside the court, Yang Xueyi bit her lips tightly.
As if to avenge her brief moment of self-conceit, God gave her a hard slap in the face.
Her originally excited heart suddenly felt like it was on a roller coaster, being thrown high into the sky and swaying in the biting wind. Yang Xueyi didn't even have time to react. The next second, the roller coaster took her heart rapidly down.
A hypocritical reality.
So is this how Ying Yun sees her?
Do you hate her so much in your heart?
No wonder Ying Yun ended the topic and turned away as soon as his friend mentioned Yang Xueyi.
No contact, not sure.
Does he feel so ashamed to be associated with Yang Xueyi?
Living with me is a secret that I want to hide for the rest of my life, right?
Under the warm sunlight, Yang Xueyi felt hot and cold.
How ridiculous! She actually still had the delusion that Ying Yun cared about her because he didn't introduce his friends to her.
That’s right, Ying Yun does care.
But what he cared about was that someone of Yang Xueyi's level was not worthy of his friend, and he was worried that as the introducer he would be blamed and would have to bear joint and several liability. In order to avoid responsibility, he simply claimed that he had no contact and was not clear about it.
Yang Xueyi touched the bottle of mineral water in her bag that she had originally intended to give to Ying Yun, and was glad that she was a beat late.
She actually fell in love with Ying Yun, she is so shameless.
Still thinking about falling in love with Ying Yun over time, he is really asking for trouble.
And it seemed that God did not think that the punishment for Yang Xueyi was enough.
Not long after Ying Yun returned to the court, a tall young girl came running from outside the court. She was dressed fashionably in designer clothes and carrying a bag that was worth several years' salary for Yang Xueyi.
As soon as the other party saw Ying Yun, he opened his arms intimately and wanted to hug him.
This time, Ying Yun did not reject the other party like he rejected the girls who delivered water just now.
It seemed that he had not expected the other party to appear. Yang Xueyi saw a flash of surprise in Ying Yun's eyes. He just stood there in a daze and was hugged tightly by the other party. He did not push away.
Ying Yun's friends obviously knew each other and greeted each other with a smile.
They are people from the same circle.
The world of young masters and young ladies has no room for the nanny's daughter, Yang Xueyi.
How could she be so naive as to imagine that Ying Yun would like her one day?
He has such a bad temper. Even if he is in trouble and has to live in his own house, he has no choice. How could he condescend to like me with real feelings?
She even bought movie tickets for the evening and wanted to ask Ying Yun to watch the movie together.
Yang Xueyi just felt that she was naive and stupid.
So what if An Xin is gone.
Some of them are girls with similar temperament to An Xin and from wealthy families, and Ying Yun will not just sit there and wait.
Yang Xueyi didn't want to stay any longer, so she pursed her lips and turned away.
Feeling depressed, she originally wanted to have dinner with Qiao Qianqian.
Qiao Qianqian apologized, "No, Xiaoxue, I forgot to tell you, I have a new boyfriend, we're in the same business, but he's a mountain photographer. He's been in the mountains shooting for most of the year, so it's rare for him to come back and date me..."
Yang Xueyi was stunned for a moment, then she felt a little envious: "How come finding a boyfriend is as easy as buying groceries for you?"
She is that difficult.
"You're too conservative, warm on the outside but cold on the inside, too distant from others, too self-protective, and too proud of your face. Otherwise, with someone like you, what kind of man would you find?"
Beauty is in the eyes of lovers, and friends also have filters in their eyes, which is why they can always praise Yang Xueyi so much.
Yang Xueyi felt a little better. Love is nothing. Long live friendship, okay?
"By the way, Qianqian, I have two movie tickets. You and your boyfriend can go to the cinema tonight."
Unfortunately, Qiao Qianqian simply waved her hand and said, "No! Don't give it to me! A night of spring is worth a thousand gold. Don't even think about letting me waste it watching a movie."
"I do have a favor I'd like you to do me. My filming here won't be finished for more than two hours."
Qiao Qianqian said a little embarrassedly, "Can you help me get a room at the nearby Hyatt? I just found out there are several weddings tonight, and I'm afraid there won't be any rooms available if I don't book them in advance. It's a rare opportunity for me to meet my boyfriend, and I don't want to have to spend the night in a low-end hotel."
"Yeah, okay."
Just as Yang Xueyi turned around to get a room, Qiao Qianqian pulled her back again.
She whispered slightly, "Buy me another box set."
Qiao Qianqian cleared her throat. "Don't look at me like that. You don't understand. Couples like us, who've been apart for a while, don't have the patience to wait for takeout to be delivered to the hotel. Xiaoxue, I'm entrusting my happiness to you. Durex with raised dot thread. Medium."
?
Qiao Qianqian winked at Yang Xueyi: "Pure love warriors like you don't understand. This is a knowledge point that only us pure yellow warriors have mastered. Just buy it according to what I say."
Yang Xueyi: "..."
**
The first thing Meng Chengyun did after landing was to go straight to the court where his cousin Ying Yun was.
To her surprise, her cousin actually acted like a human being and shared his location with her, so that Meng Chengyun could find his whereabouts.
Meng Chengyun and Ying Yun graduated from the same international high school, but unlike Ying Yun, Meng Chengyun was not a celebrity with outstanding grades and looks, but a complete academic failure.
For a long time, her cousin was the devil that dominated her adolescence - her parents always held her to Ying Yun's standards, which made Meng Chengyun extremely depressed.
Therefore, when Meng Chengyun learned the truth that he was not his uncle's biological child, he cried with joy.
She was finally able to reconcile with her past self!
How dare her parents compare her to Ying Yun! The other person's excellent genes weren't inherited from their family, okay?
However, although Ying Yun is a devil and aloof, he actually takes good care of his juniors. Even though they are not related by blood, he is still the only brother in Meng Chengyun's mind.
When she came back this time, she originally thought she would see the decadent Ying Yun.
However, Ying Yun was living a better life than she had imagined. He had a rosy complexion and was in good spirits. Unfortunately, he was still cold and unapproachable.
Having not seen each other for several years, the only way Ying Yun gave face to Meng Chengyun's enthusiastic hug was not to push it away immediately. But after a moment, he still waved his hand with disgust and asked Meng Chengyun to stay away, the farther the better.
"What do you want from me?"
"Brother! You really are my brother! I admire your straightforward style! You're a tough guy who doesn't talk much!"
"I do have a favor to ask!" Meng Chengyun organized his words. "I finally graduated with the Master's degree in Comparative Literature that my mother asked me to study for. She wants me to continue on to get a doctorate and then return to China to teach at a university. But I'm really not cut out for it. I came back this time during the holidays and don't want to go back to the States..."
"You know my dream is to be a photographer. This time I'm going to take control of my life and pursue my dreams. So, can I live with you temporarily? I'll have a place to stay without my parents finding out."
Meng Chengyun knew that his cousin had moved out of his uncle's house and lived alone, but he didn't expect Ying Yun to refuse without a second thought.
"no."
"Why?!"
"I share the apartment with someone, it's inconvenient."
"Male?"
"Um."
Meng Chengyun was quite surprised: "You can actually accept sharing a house with someone? Are you so poor now? But I heard that your uncle still treats you as his own son..."
Ying Yun's answer was very restrained, as if he didn't want to talk about this: "There are some other reasons."
"Okay." Meng Chengyun didn't force it. "Then I'll stay in a hotel first, but you have to help me if I don't have enough money."
"Can."
After getting the promise, Meng Chengyun didn't argue any further. He immediately returned to the special car waiting on the roadside and headed straight to the nearby Hyatt with his luggage.
Then she sees an unexpected person at the front desk – his brother’s ex!
The ex whose photo was posted online.
The other party is checking in at the hotel front desk.
Meng Chengyun stood behind her and looked her up and down.
Her long hair was like a waterfall, pure and natural straight black hair, which fell gently across her fair and petite face like silk when she lowered her head to sign.
The real person is many times more beautiful than the photo.
Her bare face is comparable to that of a celebrity, and she stands out in the crowd.
The men behind Meng Chengyun all stared at her without exception.
Meng Chengyun was no exception and stared at the other person almost intently.
It’s really beautiful.
Meng Chengyun had a sharp eye. With just one glance, he understood why Lecher liked to whistle at girls - his cousin's ex had a great figure, with every inch of flesh growing in the right place, a clean and beautiful face, and a whole kind of pure charm.
If Meng Chengyun's poor brain was forced to describe it, it was a fledgling vixen, the ceiling of pure desire.
She kind of hated herself for not bringing a camera. What a photogenic face this was.
Then I felt a little jealous of Ying Yun.
This ex-girlfriend is so stunningly beautiful, but he didn’t cherish her beauty and just hung things around her neck. Her brother may really not be able to get married!
Meng Chengyun checked in with emotion, then dropped his luggage and headed straight for a convenience store not far from the hotel.
She is going to buy some daily necessities such as toothbrushes.
But he didn't expect to meet his brother's ex again in the convenience store.
Meng Chengyun secretly looked at the other person through a layer of containers. The other person was biting his lips lightly in distress, as if he was hesitating about what to choose. After a moment, he seemed to have found what he was looking for. With a happy look on his face, he took the things and went to the self-service checkout machine to pay.
Meng Chengyun walked to where the other person had just stood, only to find in front of him a row of...condom containers.
She stared at the product name with only one blank space and was stunned and shocked.
…
"Brother! I just met your ex! You didn't cherish her back then! She's already moved on and has a new partner!"
In the face of Meng Chengyun's clamor, Ying Yun remained completely unperturbed. He only frowned slightly and asked, "What?"
"That ex of yours who was submitted to the Abnormal Human Research Center bot! The one with big breasts, a slim waist, and a super beautiful face!"
Ying Yun reacted quickly this time: "She is not my ex, I just know her."
Meng Chengyun almost wanted to roll his eyes and said, "Just keep pretending."
But his brother was not completely hopeless.
Ying Yun finally stopped standing aside as he had just now. His expression darkened, and a rather unhappy smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "Did you see her just now? Was she around here? With a guy?"
"I didn't see any men, but I ran into her checking into a room at the Hyatt! After getting the room card, she went to the convenience store to buy condoms! Guess what she bought! Durex with raised dots and threads! I can't even imagine how happy a man dating her would be!"
Meng Chengyun was very disappointed: "Brother, this happiness should have belonged to you! You really should stop dwelling on your first love. A thousand trees will bloom in front of a dead tree, so you should still cherish the one in front of you!"
"I already said she's not an ex. I don't care whether she's in a relationship or what she does at night." Ying Yun raised his eyelids and said coldly, "Your master's degree in comparative literature is quite effective. You can even recite poetry. I think you should continue to study for a doctorate. It would be a pity to change careers."
“…”
Meng Chengyun thought his cousin would care, but unfortunately he was such a hopeless child that he continued to flip through the menu.
They hadn't seen each other for many years, and Ying Yun had agreed to welcome her, so Meng Chengyun chose a nearby restaurant.
After a few minutes, Meng Chengyun was immersed in the menu.
She had been abroad for a long time, and when she saw the rich flavors of Chinese food, she was so moved that tears almost fell.
It was at this moment that she raised her head slightly and found that Ying Yun's face looked not very good.
"Are you sure you're seeing that?"
Hmm? What?
Ying Yun flipped through the menu and asked casually, "The girl you just mentioned."
oh!
Wasn't this topic long overdue?
But Meng Chengyun still said honestly: "Of course not! Who would mistake her for someone so beautiful!"
Ying Yun took a sip of tea in silence and said nothing.
Meng Chengyun didn't take it seriously and continued to look through the menu.
Although Ying Yun didn't say anything, Meng Chengyun suspected that he might be feeling unwell. He looked restless, as if the chair under his butt was hot and thorny. The last time Meng Chengyun saw someone like this was when her roommate suddenly developed hemorrhoids.
It was just that she had just finished ordering with the waiter and wanted to check on her cousin's health when she heard the sound of a chair leg moving across the table. When she looked up, Ying Yun had disappeared.
"I suddenly remembered that I didn't bring my wallet, so I went back to get it."
?
What a lame excuse! Do you think Meng Chengyun, who's been abroad for so long, doesn't know what's happening in China? Who still carries a wallet these days? Even beggars use Alipay or WeChat to scan QR codes now!
Her brother doesn't have to do this if he doesn't want to treat or pay!!!
If you have hemorrhoids, you shouldn’t do this!
We're all family, so what's there to hide?! Don't you trust Meng Chengyun's character?!
Of course, she wouldn't tell anyone about it, and she would even considerately ask everyone in her group of brothers and sisters to keep Ying Yun's secret together!
