Chapter 302: I've been waiting for you to say this
At this time, Jiang Yi was already in the city and had just met up with a few friends he had made an appointment with.
Seeing that Lu Qingye was not present, Zhou Shunyan turned his head to look at Jiang Yi and asked, "Where is Lu Qingye? Didn't you go to pick him up this morning?"
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly: "He went, but he didn't go with me."
"What's going on?"
"I went out with my wife early in the morning." Jiang Yi raised his eyes and looked at him, his tone tinged with disdain: "Unlike you, you can sleep until noon even without a wife."
Zhou Shunyan's face darkened, and his tone became somewhat serious: "Jiang Yi, you shouldn't bully me like this. I finally got a day off, so what's wrong with sleeping in late?"
Suddenly at this moment, Jiang Yi received a message from Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan: [Brother Jiang, could you please send me your address so we can come find you right now?]
Jiang Yi quickly sent an address to Meng Chuyuan and told his friends, "Lu Qingye and his wife will be coming over later."
"What? They're coming?"
"Since we are all in Rongcheng, why do we need to split up into two groups?"
Jiang Yi forced a smile and said, "I forgot to tell you a truth. Actually, my sister-in-law is going to Rongcheng for business, so Lu Qingye decided to set the location here."
“…”
Meng Chuyuan received Jiang Yi's reply and immediately asked: [Have you all eaten?]
Jiang Yi: [Not yet, do you want to come over and eat together?]
Meng Chuyuan: [ψ(｀?′)ψI've been waiting for you to say this]
Jiang Yi: [Okay, I’ll send you the restaurant address later.]
After finishing their chat, Meng Chuyuan turned around and said to Lu Qingye, "Let's head towards the city first. Brother Jiang said he'll send us a new address later. From here, we have to take the highway and it will take about an hour to get there."
——
The school bell rang at noon and the students left the classroom with laughter.
Lu Qianling strolled down the street with her schoolbag on her back and soon returned to the community.
She came out of the elevator of the apartment building and happened to see the door next to her open in the corridor.
She knew that new tenants had moved in next door a few days ago, but she was not curious about who lived next door. Besides, she was just a student and had no intention of engaging in social activities. Unexpectedly, she saw her neighbor opening the door today.
The moment the door was opened, a woman appeared at the door with a bright smile on her face. When she raised her eyes and was about to speak, she saw the person in front of her and suddenly suppressed the smile in her eyes.
"Lingling?" The woman called Lu Qianling's nickname accurately.
Lu Qianling turned her head and saw a familiar face.
She said with a shameless face: "Auntie Du, why are you here?"
The Aunt Du in front of me is Liu Xiaomeng's mother.
"I heard the elevator ring and thought it was Mengmeng coming back...didn't she tell you that she moved out of school?"
"I've heard of it." She didn't expect that he would move next door to her by such a coincidence.
"The agent said there was a vacant house here, so I brought Mengmeng here." Liu's mother took a few steps towards Lu Qianling. Seeing her standing across from the door, she looked a little surprised and said, "So you live next door?"
Lu Qianling hummed lightly in response.
Mother Liu smiled awkwardly: "I saw men's shoes outside the door, and I thought it was the man living next door, so I didn't dare to come over to say hello."
"..." Lu Qianling and Liu Xiaomeng haven't spoken to each other for two weeks since they sat at separate tables. Facing each other's mother, Lu Qianling felt an indescribable embarrassment.
Not long after, the elevator made a "ding" sound.
After the door opened, Liu Xiaomeng walked out with her schoolbag on her back. She was stunned to see her mother and Lu Qianling in the corridor at the same time.
Liu Xiaomeng accidentally found out that Lu Qianling also lived in this community, and on the same floor as her. In order to avoid the embarrassment of seeing each other, she deliberately left at different times.
Unexpectedly, I encountered...
Liu Xiaomeng didn't keep her eyes on Lu Qianling, "Mom, why are you here?"
"How can your mother feel at ease if you live alone outside?" Especially before she met Lu Qianling, she thought there was a man living next door and was thinking about whether she should move to another house.
"I just thought you were coming home from school, and I ran into Lingling when I came out. You live across the street." Liu's mother said with a smile, "I feel relieved that you two live so close to each other and can take care of each other."
While the mother and daughter were chatting, Lu Qianling walked to the door, entered the electronic code, and opened the door. She turned her head and glanced at Liu's mother: "Auntie, um... I'll go in first."
"Lingling, do you want to come over and have dinner with me?"
Lu Qianling shook her head and refused: "No, thank you."
After Lu Qianling's door closed, only mother and daughter were left in the corridor.
"Mengmeng, you and Lingling have been living next door to each other for so many days, but you haven't run into each other in the elevator on the way to and from school?" Liu's mother felt that their meeting was a little strange, as if she had noticed something. "You two look like you haven't spoken in a long time."
Liu Xiaomeng said in a slightly heavy tone: "Because she and I sat at separate tables."
——
Jiang Yi booked a private room in a high-end Michelin restaurant. They were chatting happily in the room while waiting for Meng Chuyuan and Lu Qingye to show up.
At noon, the warm sunshine shines on the earth.
The air in early winter is a bit chilly. A breeze blows by, and the trees on the street quietly drop a few dead leaves.
Meng Chuyuan and the others had arrived at the restaurant. Led by the waiter, they quickly found the private room where Jiang Yi was.
"Didn't they say they were going downstairs? Why haven't they come up yet?"
Jiang Yi: "Wait a little longer, he's probably looking for a place to park."
“…”
Suddenly at this moment, they heard the door of the private room being pushed open, and everyone looked over.
I caught a glimpse of Lu Qingye wearing a casual baseball jacket, walking inside with Meng Chuyuan.
"Master Lu, we've finally got you here." Zhou Shunyan stood up excitedly and walked around the dining table to greet him. He wanted to go up and give Lu Qingye a hug, but when he saw Meng Chuyuan was there, he suppressed his thought.
Zhou Shunyan: "This is my sister-in-law, right? Hello, my name is Zhou Shunyan, and I'm Lu Qingye's high school classmate."
Meng Chuyuan's lips curled into a faint smile, and he responded softly: "Hello, just call me Meng Chuyuan."
