Chapter 450: Jealousy leads to loneliness
The three children were finally freed from the cage of the college entrance examination and got pocket money, so they often made appointments to go out and play together.
Most of the time, it was just Dongzhe and Pengfei. It was hot, and Xiaoting didn't want to go out to play. She would rather read at home or accompany Huang Ling to work.
In the afternoon, Dongzhe and Pengfei went to the garment factory after returning from playing outside.
Dongzhe suggested it. He knew Xiaoting was at the garment factory today. They hadn't seen each other for several days and he missed her very much.
If this were any other winter or summer vacation, he would have more excuses to make a phone call. But now that he didn't have to do homework and didn't have Tunan to shield him, he didn't know what excuse to make the call.
So, today, both of them were sweating, and Dongzhe suggested going to the garment factory to rest for a while. It was close there, and there were cold drinks and popsicles in the refrigerator. More importantly, he hadn't seen Aunt Huang for several days and missed her very much.
Pengfei glanced at him but did not expose him, which meant he accepted this brother-in-law.
Compared to people outside, Dongzhe knows everything about him and he is his good brother, so I feel more at ease.
The two entered the garment factory and went straight to the refrigerator.
Huang Ling and Xiao Ting got the news and rushed over from the office to check the condition of the refrigerator.
"Don't be impatient! Drink slowly." Huang Ling shouted.
The two of them drank while looking at her, and a bottle had already been drunk.
"There's also ice watermelon, it's being cut in the lounge!" Huang Ling said the second half of the sentence.
The two people opposite burped loudly in frustration at the same time.
Then everyone went to the lounge to eat watermelon.
Dongzhe sat next to Xiaoting, and Xiaoting raised her eyebrows and looked at him:
"I found some money today! I'm so happy."
Dongzhe shook his head, his eyes and eyebrows smiling:
"I didn't find any money, it's nothing."
"Is there any news or notice?" Xiaoting became interested and turned to Dongzhe and asked.
"Auntie must have known about this first!"
"What is that?"
"Nothing, nothing..." Dongzhe quickly finished the piece of melon in his hand, then pretended to wash his hands and left Xiaoting's sight.
"Brother, what's the matter? Tell me quickly." Xiaoting asked Pengfei, another possible insider.
"Today, Dongzhe and I went out to play and saw..." Pengfei bumped his fists together and hooked his thumbs together, "Our classmate."
Xiao Ting understood what he meant and asked, "Who and who?"
"Chen Shurui and Yu Xijing are walking on the street." Pengfei told Xiaoting honestly.
"Oh." Xiaoting didn't seem surprised.
"You know!" Now it was Pengfei's turn to be surprised.
"I know a little bit. Xi Jing and I are good friends. Wasn't Chen Shurui also quite familiar with me before? He kept asking me about Xi Jing in a roundabout way, such as when her birthday is, what she likes to eat, what color she likes... How could I not know?" Xiao Ting was so smart that she had already discovered that something was wrong between the two.
"Oh." Pengfei could hardly hold back his laughter and quickly got up to wash his hands.
Xiao Ting looked at their backs and said calmly, "When did he and Chen Shurui become good friends? Why is he so happy when others are in love?"
Xiaoting had just finished speaking when she thought of something. She frowned slightly, as if she had figured something out. Then her brows relaxed and she chuckled.
Pengfei chased Dongzhe to pet the cat, and finally couldn't help laughing.
"What's so funny?" Dongzhe glanced at him.
"you."
"I..." Dongzhe touched his face and rubbed it on his shirt sleeve. "There's a black mark on my face!"
"No, no, I just told Xiaoting about Chen Shurui and Yu Xijing. Guess what?"
"What's going on?" Dongzhe was nervous.
"She has known about their affair for a long time, hahahaha! Ouch, my stomach hurts a little after drinking ice drinks and eating ice watermelon, hahaha!" Pengfei patted Dongzhe's shoulder heavily, then ran away.
Dongzhe was squatting in the corner stroking a cat. Even after the cat ran away, he was still stroking the cat.
Being jealous only makes me lonely.
I was so lonely and worried.
It turns out that Chen Shurui often hangs around Xiaoting not for her, but for her good friend Yu Xijing.
When Dongzhe came to his senses, he saw Xiaoting standing in the corridor looking at him, the hem of her snow-white dress and the long ribbon tied around her waist fluttering in the wind.
He didn't know what was going on, and he just squatted there, smiling at her, a smile brighter than the afternoon sun.
Xiaoting also smiled at him.
He understands her so well!
So, at this moment, he understood Xiaoting's eyes.
I don’t know how long they stared at each other, Dongzhe picked up a cat that was passing by him, hugged it, and brought it to Xiaoting.
This is Xiaoting’s favorite one and the one that sticks to her the most.
"Weren't you looking for it just now? It just came back from playing outside the factory." Dongzhe told Xiaoting.
"Oh." Xiaoting lowered her head to catch the cat.
When they made the handover, their fingertips touched accidentally, and the electric current went straight to their hearts.
Huang Ling looked out the office window at the boy and girl petting the cat and said with a chuckle:
“It’s great to be young.”
When Pengfei passed by, Huang Ling suddenly leaned forward, reached out from the window and grabbed Pengfei's arm.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Pengfei slammed on the brakes.
"Come in and talk." Huang Ling waved at him, motioning him to come in.
"Okay," Pengfei walked in obediently, "Auntie, what's up?"
"Oh, that..." Huang Ling scratched her forehead. "I'm going to Yangzhou to study this time. I won't be with Dongzhe, Xiaoting, and the others, so we can only see each other during the winter and summer vacations. It's good for you to hang out together more these days, but don't do anything bad! Don't let it affect your college education."
Huang Ling chose a business college for him, located in Yangzhou, which later became an important business college in East China.
Pengfei nodded obediently: "I understand, Auntie, I won't do that."
"Hey, I haven't been to Yangzhou for a long time. How do I take the bus now? If you want to go to university, what's the best way to get there?" Huang Ling asked again.
"The train is not very convenient. The car can go directly but it takes a long time, seven or eight hours with so many twists and turns. The best way is to take a night boat and sleep on the boat until you reach Yangzhou." Pengfei had already figured out the route clearly.
"Ah! You don't get carsick or seasick anyway, so it's okay. But Xiaoting is not so good, she gets seasick."
"Haha, yes, I'm not dizzy about anything, Auntie, if you have any work to do in Yangzhou, just tell me, I can do it." Pengfei thought that Huang Ling asked him to talk alone because there was some work.
He knew that many of the jobs in Beijing were done by Brother Tunan and Brother Zheyu, the jobs in Guangzhou were done by Sister Shanshan, and the jobs in Shanghai were done by Brother Hongbin. Now that he had gone to Yangzhou, of course it was his turn to do the jobs in Yangzhou.
"Yes, we can. Wait until you've settled down there and become familiar with Yangzhou. Just remember that we have a warehouse with goods in Yangzhou. It will be easier for your brother Chu to have you there when it comes to shipping and receiving goods."
Speaking of this matter, Huang Ling actually gave the order.
Pengfei patted his chest and said, "No problem, I can finish the run in a weekend. You know, I'm the best at memorizing routes."
"I know that, but your studies should be the priority, and company matters should come second." Huang Ling patted his shoulder.
At this moment, the phone in Huang Ling's office rang.
"Hey, Vice Principal Yu..."
Huang Ling raised her chin towards the door, and Pengfei jumped up and went to find Xiaoting and Dongzhe.
