After returning from Cambridge, Xu Manman's life returned to normal.
Since Xu Jianguo wants to study abroad, there is no need to keep a close eye on him. It is enough to know that he is safe. They both need to have independent lives.
So Xu Manman would go there once every few weeks, and spend the rest of the time living her own life.
In the spring, she and Caleb chose a place to camp, just like they had the previous year.
The place we came to this time is a camping site that everyone often goes to. The environment nearby is very nice, but everyone has a strong sense of boundaries, and even if they are curious, they will not disturb each other.
Caleb used food to break down social barriers, and in the evening, the group had an outdoor party around the campfire. Xu Manman had a great time.
The joy brought by this camping trip did not last long and was broken by the person in front of me.
"Manman? Long time no see, what have you been busy with recently?"
Are they not familiar with each other? He called her so affectionately, and Xu Manman curled up the corners of her mouth. "Studying, I have a lot of classes right now."
I was trying hard to recall this person's name. It seemed to be Yan Yun.
Yan Qingyun didn't care at all about Xu Manman's less-than-enthusiastic attitude. "Well, it's like this. We've met quite a few compatriots in New York lately, and we're planning to organize a hometown reunion. I hope you can come and join us."
Xu Manman was sincere and didn't ask whether she could participate. What was the difference between asking her to participate and giving an order?
Maybe it was because of that unpleasant dinner, but Xu Manman didn’t have a very positive view of these people.
"I'm not sure if I have the time. You know, I have a lot of classes and projects to work on right now, so even the weekends are busy."
She thought her refusal was obvious enough, but he didn't seem to understand. "It's okay. It's the same if we get together again when you're free."
Why wait for her? She doesn't think she's a big shot, so this is just putting her on a pedestal.
"No need, you guys should make your own arrangements. Let me know when the time is confirmed. If I'm free, I'll go." She would definitely not be free by then.
Having said that, Yan Qingyuan was not a man of iron will, so he had no choice but to go along with it. "Okay, let's go back and discuss a time, and then we'll talk to you."
Yan Qingyun was still thinking about pulling Xu Manman over to chat for a few more words, but Xu Manman asked, "We're splitting the bill, right?"
Thinking of the shameful little thought in his heart, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment, "Of course."
Xu Manman felt a little relieved, knowing that she would not be taken advantage of. If it was a serious gathering of fellow townsmen, it would not be a big deal to attend it.
"Okay, I see. Let me know when the time is set. I have something else to do later, so I'll be leaving first."
In fact, Yan Qingyun did not meet Xu Manman by chance today, but had been observing her at school for many days. Although Xu Manman rode a bicycle to and from school most of the time, she would occasionally drive her red Beetle when she felt lazy.
Moreover, Xu Manman's daily clothes were not bad. Yan Qingyuan was short of money and was embarrassed to go to the mall to check the prices, but he borrowed a lot of fashion magazines privately and learned that a bag in Xu Manman's hand could buy a house in Beijing, not to mention the necklace and earrings on her body.
That's why he deliberately created a mask today. For this purpose, he even changed into clothes that he bought at a "high price" and combed his hair into a sleek and shiny look.
But in front of Xu Manman, it was like flirting to a blind man. Moreover, there were top beauties around her. Even Xu Jianguo and Chen Ming were more beautiful than him. Even Xue Mingxin was an exquisite beauty. How could she appreciate Yan Qingyun, who was of average height and average looks.
Xu Manman didn't take this matter too seriously. She was indeed very busy recently, and she was not lying to Yan Qingyun. She was currently working on a project with the professor, which gave her room to work overtime. Otherwise, she really wouldn't even have time to rest.
But I didn't expect that Yan Qingyun was so efficient and found her the next day.
"Manman, the time is Saturday night, at the Chinese restaurant on xx Street. Where do you live? I'll pick you up then."
Xu Manman thought that she really had nothing to do that day, and besides, who knows what big shot some Chinese person in New York might become in the future, so it wouldn't hurt to go and see him.
"No need, I know the place, I'll go there myself when the time comes."
Yan Qingyun thought she would refuse, so he didn't force her. After all, as long as she was there, his efforts would not be in vain.
