Chapter 41 Regret (Part 3)
Zhou Yang felt the atmosphere between them was a bit awkward, a bit cold. Although the words sounded like a casual exchange between acquaintances, they seemed to contain a storm.
A bit strange.
In the past, when the two of them were at home at the same time, Zhou Yang would cook.
But this time, he thought, Lin Qiyuan would probably come back after dinner. Perhaps he didn't want to go home at all, wanting to be with the person he loved all the time. It was just that since it was their first blind date, he had to be a little reserved.
Maybe he ate too much at noon, and that sour feeling in his stomach came back again. Zhou Yang wanted to go upstairs to rest quickly, so he nodded at Lin Qiyuan and left.
Zhou Yang had no appetite in the evening and didn't eat anything. He picked up two chocolates and pressed them. He took a casual look and saw that the box that was originally full of chocolates was now empty.
He picked it up and shook it, then found three more in the corner of the box.
We have to eat sparingly and find a source of supply as soon as possible.
He picked up his phone, posted a message to his friends, hesitated for a moment, and deliberately blocked some people.
[Has anyone been to Country A recently? Looking for chocolate shopping services/with pictures]
The picture shows three lonely chocolates, and the brand is marked in the upper right corner of the picture, which is clear at a glance.
He sent this circle of friends to his foreign friends and friends studying abroad.
He was busy with exams to change his major in his freshman year, and was overwhelmed with worries about studying abroad in his sophomore year. He didn't make many friends at an age when he should be socializing.
Although he was busy receiving scholarships and working part-time to pay for high tuition fees abroad, he also found time to socialize.
Fortunately, foreigners are more direct, so you don’t have to spend time and effort maintaining relationships. As long as you can get along well, you can become friends.
Moreover, friends studying abroad are generally very busy, so everyone maintains superficial harmony, helping each other when there is something to do, and occasionally chatting with each other when there is nothing to do.
Although WeChat is a Chinese app, many people from country Y also use it, so his foreign friends also use WeChat to chat and read their Moments.
Foreigners generally don't get involved with friends and money, but if responsibilities are clearly defined in advance and transactions are clear, they will be willing to help.
Zhou Yang is the type of person that everyone is willing to help.
Almost immediately after it was posted, someone commented.
He looked closely and saw that it was "Mo Huai".
[Mo Huai: My poor Yangyang, please eat your favorite chocolate as soon as possible.]
[Zhou Yang: You're using someone else's WeChat again]
[Mo Huai: What's his is mine, hehe...Have you blocked my dad?]
[Zhou Yang: No, go explain it to your dad yourself]
After joking around with Qi Dongdong for two minutes, Zhou Yang exited the Moments and found someone had messaged him privately, telling him that they would be going to Country A soon, but not before half a month at the earliest.
Zhou Yang looked at the only three chocolates left and wondered whether he should consider going there in person.

Mrs. Yan did not have any appointments or plans today. She dressed her daughter up beautifully in the morning and waited quietly for the good news from her daughter in the afternoon.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, she had a couple of bites and was about to send a WeChat message to her daughter to ask about the progress when she saw her daughter rush in, run straight into her room, and slam the door shut.
"Xiaochen! Xiaochen! What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Yan instinctively felt that something was wrong and was worried that something had happened to her daughter, so she started knocking on the door desperately.
The door was locked. Mrs. Yan thought about it and felt that something must have gone wrong with the blind date, so she wanted to call Mrs. Lin to ask what was going on.
Yan Zichen seemed to have a pair of X-ray vision. Just before she dialed the number, he opened the door and yelled, "You can't call Aunt Xue!"
Mrs. Yan rushed into her daughter's room quickly to prevent her from closing the door again.
Only then did Mrs. Yan see that Yan Zichen had disheveled hair, tear marks on his face, and there were wet marks on the quilt. It was obvious that he had just cried.
"What's wrong, baby? Didn't you go on a blind date? Did Lin Qiyuan bully you?" Mrs. Yan was afraid of irritating her daughter again, so she asked questions very carefully.
Yan Zichen threw himself into Mrs. Yan's arms and burst into tears. When his emotions calmed down a bit, he spoke, "Don't tell Aunt Xue!"
"Okay! Mommy won't tell anyone. What happened to you, daughter? What did Lin Qiyuan do to you?" Mrs. Yan's mind was full of questions. She originally wondered if Lin Qiyuan would take the opportunity to bully her daughter, but Xiaochen had liked Lin Qiyuan for a long time and was not a conservative person, so she would not cry so sadly.
"He...he said that the person he wants to go on a blind date with is not me!"
"What? You're not the one he wants to go on a blind date with? It was his mom who suggested this blind date. He didn't explain it to her, so why would he blame you? Then go ask her. I'll call her right now!"
"Mom, how many times have I told you not to call Aunt Xue!" Yan Zichen slammed Mrs. Yan's phone down. "I'm already embarrassed enough, do you still want Aunt Xue to look down on me?"
"Okay, okay, Xiaochen, don't be angry. I won't hit you. Lin Qiyuan is going too far. He just told you that. So who does he really want to date?"
“…It’s Ying Yanyan!”
"Ying Yanyan? Is she the daughter of Ying Gaihui, the one who's your dad's enemy? The one you guys fought with in high school?"
"That's her!"
"What an enemy, how could it be her?"
Yan Zichen's eyes seemed to contain poisonous arrows, which he shot at his enemy Ying Yanyan one by one.
During the meal, she calmly flattered Ying Yanyan, letting Lin Qiyuan know how vicious and domineering she was and how unfit she was to be a wife.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qiyuan actually liked Ying Yanyan so much that he got angry with him for Ying Yanyan and finally left in anger.
She said so much today, and she didn't believe that Lin Qiyuan wasn't touched. When the time comes, she will find another "depression patient" to tell her story, and Lin Qiyuan will have to believe it even if he doesn't want to.
No matter how much Lin Qiyuan likes her, the Lin family will not allow such a vicious woman to enter the house.
What she had to do now was to maintain her position as Lin Qiyuan's friend, care about him silently, and comfort him in time when he saw through Ying Yanyan's true face, so that he could see her gentleness, care and consideration, and also get the support of Mrs. Lin, the future mother-in-law.
"Mom, if Aunt Xue calls and asks, just say that our conversation went well and that we need to get to know each other better. Don't let anything slip."
"Xiaochen, are you still not giving up?" Seeing the madness in her daughter's eyes, Mrs. Yan was a little worried.
"I can't accept it! Mom, I really can't accept it. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but it's Ying Yanyan! I hate her so much!"
Yan Zichen knew that even if that person was not Ying Yanyan, she would still be unwilling to accept it and would fight for it. Ying Yanyan was just an excuse for her.
After all, Lin Qiyuan is the person she has liked for so many years!
After Lin Qiyuan finished the work at hand, he received a video call from Cheng Fei. Since he didn't want to see that face, he hung up decisively and dialed the voice call again.
"One minute."
In other words, within one minute, he had to finish all the nonsense he needed to say, so that Lin Qiyuan wouldn't be able to help but hang up the phone.
This is the rule they have agreed upon.
"Are you sure? This is about your family's Yangyang... Zhouyang!" Cheng Fei's voice sounded annoying.
"Five minutes." Lin Qiyuan closed the computer lid, got up and went to the tea room, and poured himself a glass of warm water.
Cheng Fei: "I finally know why you had to steal your own chocolate last time. It turned out to be for your Zhou Yang!"
Lin Qiyuan did not deny it: "How did you know?"
"I knew you didn't check your Moments! I'm your best assist, so if you succeed in wooing my wife, you have to thank me!"
When Cheng Fei mentioned the word "friend circle", Lin Qiyuan took the phone from his ear, quickly opened the friend circle and scrolled down.
Once, no.
Twice, no.
Three times, still nothing.
He clicked on Zhou Yang's avatar again and entered the personal interface.
Clean as a whim.
…
He had to admit one thing, he seemed to have been blocked from the circle of friends.
…
It's outrageous.
"Hello, hello, Lin Qiyuan, Dayuanzi, did you see that? Don't you have to thank me? I remember you have a partner in Country A."
Lin Qiyuan put the phone back to his ear: "What did you just say? I was replying to an email and didn't hear it."
"I said, have you seen Zhou Yang's circle of friends?"
"Oh, no, I can't spare my hands right now. What's the content? Read it to me."
"What do you mean I can't spare any time? Are you too lazy to die? You are so insincere when pursuing someone, so I owe you something?" Old Dog Coin!
If he wasn't still of use to him, Lin Qiyuan was sure he would have hung up the phone long ago.
"Do I need to repeat those few words? Isn't it just that Zhou Yang wants someone to buy him chocolate, the same kind you stole last time? I didn't expect the kid to actually like that kind of chocolate, and he wanted someone to travel thousands of miles to buy it for him? He's too persistent! Tell me, at this juncture, if you asked your employees or partners working in Country A to buy a bunch of it for you, arrange it in a heart shape, and then confess your love, wouldn't you win Zhou Yang over immediately?"
"Oh, thank you!"
"Oh, there's no need for verbal thanks. Actual material gratitude is better than anything else. By the way, I enjoyed your party room last time. Recently... Xiao Yuan? Da Yuanzi? Lin Qiyuan? Mr. Lin? Zhou Yang's boyfriend? Zhou Yang's husband? Zhou Yang's wife?"
The only response he got was the busy tone of his cell phone.
Old Dogecoin, you will definitely regret this. You will never hear me call you that again.
Zhou Yang had been busy in front of the computer in the afternoon to catch up on his work. He didn't want to look at anything else at the moment and just wanted to sleep. Therefore, he didn't see the message from Lin Qiyuan, "I'll come find you!"
Hearing the noise, he got up in a daze and opened the door. Seeing a living person standing at the door, he almost died of fright on the spot.
He had the habit of sleeping naked, but he never exposed his chest and back in front of outsiders. Lin Qiyuan's scorching gaze and the cold wind from outside made him shiver and wake up immediately.
He quickly turned around and took a few quick steps, picked up the pajamas next to him and put them on, without noticing that Lin Qiyuan's Adam's apple moved a few times.
After he put on his clothes, Lin Qiyuan handed Zhou Yang a bag of chocolates.
Zhou Yang looked down at the packaging bag and was stunned. "Have you seen my circle of friends?"
After saying this, Zhou Yang felt so regretful that he wanted to slap himself. He was extremely regretful.
I clearly blocked that person when I just posted on WeChat Moments.
This circle of friends post is normal. Except for not wanting to show it to his parents or people who know his parents, there is nothing wrong with it to others.
However, at that time, his hands seemed to be out of control and he also pulled Lin Qiyuan into the blocked list.
"Don't you know whether I saw it or not?"
The author has something to say: Here we go again, isn’t today a happy day?
The vicious female supporting role (no, it's the vicious female cannon fodder) will be offline in five chapters at most. She's just an assist, don't panic.
