Qin You didn't go into details about how they met, mainly because he didn't know how to begin. Fortunately, Yan Jiudu didn't press him for details.
After a while, Yan Jiudu copied Meng Ziqiu's personal information from him and then hurriedly left.
After everyone left, Meng Ziqiu looked at Qin You, his eyes slightly lingering, as if he had something to say.
"...?" Qin You tilted his head to look at him.
“Well,” Meng Ziqiu chuckled dryly, still not quite used to this being the same person, “Are you coming back? Xiao Yan asked me, saying you didn’t reply to his WeChat message.”
Qin You immediately understood. Looking at himself on the other side, he realized he was climbing down the mountain and wouldn't be back anytime soon. So he replied, "I'm still in the mountains, no signal. I'll switch to another number and call him back later."
"……Um."
"Just say what you want to say," Qin You continued.
"No, it's just... I don't know how things are going on your end." To put it bluntly, she was still worried.
"You're not a little kid. Have you eaten? Shall we go out to eat?" Qin You just smiled.
Seeing his calm demeanor, Meng Ziqiu felt much more at ease. "Alright, what would you like to eat? It's on me."
"The sour beef hot pot from before?"
"Okay, I'll go get the car."
"Why are you driving? Ride in mine, I'll take you there, that way we won't get stuck in traffic."
"That works too." Meng Ziqiu had no objections.
The two quickly got off the elevator. They had originally planned to treat Yan Jiudu to a meal today, but he was in such a hurry to leave that they had no choice but to let the two of them have it.
Upon arriving at the parking lot, Qin You handed the helmet from the trunk to Meng Ziqiu, though it was a little too tight for Meng Ziqiu to wear.
Putting everything else aside, this little motorcycle really didn't get stuck in traffic much, weaving through any gaps and enjoying the benefit of no traffic jams the whole way.
Upon arriving at their destination, they ran into an old acquaintance—Sheng Huai.
"Hey, isn't this Sheng—"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Sheng Huai pulled Meng Ziqiu down and said in a low voice, "I snuck out, so I need to keep a low profile!"
"I understand, I understand." Meng Ziqiu made a zipper gesture with his hand over his mouth.
Sheng Huai saw Qin You next to Meng Ziqiu and smiled again, "Bringing the child to eat? Hey, wait, where's Lao Xu? I tried to message him on WeChat but he didn't reply. Where has he been lately?"
“Him…” Meng Ziqiu looked at Qin You, gesturing for him to speak.
"He went back to his hometown. There's something going on there, and the signal is bad there," Qin You said.
"What era are we living in? Are there still places with bad signal..." Sheng Huai muttered to himself.
"Yes, something came up unexpectedly." Qin You nodded.
Sheng Huai glanced at him again and smiled, "You know what, you two brothers are quite alike, even in your speech."
Meng Ziqiu and Qin You exchanged a glance and then fell silent.
Sheng Huai called the waiter over and asked for more dishes and bowls. He was eating hot pot alone anyway, and the arrival of these two was just in time.
Sheng Huai ordered two catties of beef and some vegetables. After ordering, he remembered something else, "Oh right, when will Lao Xu be back? Our show is about to air, and he needs to come and help with the promotion."
"So fast?" It was Qin You who spoke.
Sheng Huai didn't brush off the other person just because they were a child. He was still cheerful and said, "It's not going to be long. The finished product of that drama has been around for a long time. It just passed the inspection and everyone is lined up to film it. If there are no surprises, it will be in the next few days."
“Then I’ll go back and tell him to hurry up and finish what he needs to do and come back.” After saying that, Meng Ziqiu turned to Qin You, his eyes seeming to say, ‘Look, you have so much to do, hurry up and come back!’
Qin You thought so too, but he hadn't found the blood ginseng yet.
As he was thinking this, Xu Qian, far away in the deep mountains, finally found the blood ginseng he had been longing for on the cliff...
If all goes as expected, the blood ginseng should be nearby.
