"Alright, don't worry, come on, come with me."
Where are we going?
"Go buy some gifts, visit them this afternoon, it's time to go back to Kyoto."
"good."
After Wang Xinghe brought Liu Qingmeng out, many neighbors stood on both sides of the street, discussing what had just happened.
Seeing Wang Xinghe bring Liu Qingmeng out, they quickly came over.
"Xinghe, were those soldiers you called over?"
"Xinghe, what happened when you transferred to Kyoto? How come you can command so many soldiers as soon as you come back? Those two just now must be the mayor and the party secretary. They are personally leading people to assess our losses, going door to door."
"Yeah, Xinghe, you're really capable now. What's going on?"
"Dear elders, please stop guessing. Just know that our area will not be demolished. You can live here with peace of mind. If you suffer any losses, just tell Mayor Jin and the others, and they will compensate you."
"Xinghe, thank you so much. Please come to my house for lunch today."
"No need, Aunt Zhang, I have something to do and need to go out for a bit."
"Let's eat before we leave."
"Yes, Xinghe, it's already noon. Come to my house for lunch. I made braised pork ribs for lunch. I remember you really like pork ribs."
"Really, no need. I'll definitely go when I have time another day. I really have something to do."
"Alright, Xinghe, your girlfriend is really great. She was still standing in front of you, facing those unscrupulous developers, even in that situation just now."
"Yes, Xinghe, you should cherish this girlfriend!"
"I will, then we'll be going now."
As Wang Xinghe emerged from the alley, he was greeted by warm and welcoming neighbors. He had never been treated with such hospitality before.
Normally it would only take a few minutes to get out of the alley, but this time it took ten minutes and I still hadn't come out.
After Wang Xinghe came out and got into the car with Liu Qingmeng, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"These aunties and uncles are so incredibly enthusiastic."
"Yes, they're too enthusiastic. I've never seen them like this before. They're such snobs."
"Don't say that. I think they're all very nice people. They're just ordinary folks. You helped them solve such a big problem, so maybe they really want to thank you."
"Maybe so."
"What do you mean by 'maybe'? Look at what they're saying, they're all thanking you, they're all eager to invite you to their homes for dinner, it's all out of their good intentions, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have thought that way. Alright, Mengmeng."
That's exactly right.
"Let's get going now, buckle up."
"good."
The two arrived at the mall and went to the gift section.
"Xingxing, what do you think we should buy for Grandpa and Grandma?"
"Just buying a couple of things would be fine, or how about two cases of milk? They sell them near the entrance where we came in."
"That won't do."
"Buying them two boxes of milk is already a generous amount."
"Alright, alright, I know you're upset, and it's normal to be upset, but we can't skimp on proper etiquette. I'll buy it for you today, okay?"
"It's okay, I'll buy it. I was just saying that out of anger."
"No! I have to buy it myself. I also want to thank them. Without them, there would be no you, and I wouldn't have such a good man. Consider this a gift from me to them."
"Let's go, let's go. I thought that bird's nest was pretty good, go get a bag of bird's nest."
Liu Qingmeng bought four or five boxes of gifts in one go. She wanted to buy more, but Wang Xinghe pulled her away.
"Alright, that's enough, no need."
"Isn't this too little?"
"That's already quite a lot, isn't it? It's tens of thousands of yuan, that's enough."
"Okay then, is that all?"
"Yes, that's enough, Mengmeng. It's not worth spending too much money on them."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. There are quite a few of these."
"Let's go get some food. I just saw a Jiangnan restaurant. I'll take you there to try some Jiangnan cuisine."
"Okay! Let's eat! I'm starving."
"Let me hear if Mengmeng's stomach is growling again."
"No way! Don't talk nonsense, when has my stomach ever growled?"
"I remember calling it just a couple of days ago."
"You're mistaken, no, definitely not!"
"Still not admitting it!"
Do you have any evidence? Do you have any evidence?
"This still needs evidence."
"Of course! Otherwise, this would be slander!"
"Fine, fine, I'll slander you. Next time I'll record it and see if you admit it!"
"Xingxing, if you dare to record this, I'll break off all ties with you!"
"Break off relations? How do you break off relations?"
When Liu Qingmeng heard Wang Xinghe say that, she didn't react for a moment, but the more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
"Wang Xinghe! How could you say such a thing? Your thoughts are too wicked! You! There are so many people here, what are you saying!" Liu Qingmeng's face turned visibly red.
"Mengmeng, don't say I have evil thoughts. Don't you know this too? I've been hearing my roommates talk about it all the time."
"You don't learn good things, you only learn bad things. You're not allowed to learn these bad things from them anymore! That's too wicked!"
"They're so loud, I can't just pretend I can't hear them."
"Then just forget it!"
"There's nothing I can do, my memory is just too good. I want to forget, but I just can't."
"I'm not talking to you anymore! I'm hungry, so hungry! Go take me to eat!"
"Okay, okay, let's eat, let's eat."
Wang Xinghe and Liu Qingmeng were having dinner when Su Xuanyu called.
Where are you now?
"Third sister, I'm eating out. What's wrong?"
"Send me your location, I'll join too."
"Okay, Third Sister, have you finished?"
"Yes, it's taken care of."
"What's wrong, Xingxing?"
"My third sister said she was coming too, and asked me to send her my location."
"Third, Third Sister is coming?" Liu Qingmeng put down her chopsticks and said cautiously.
"Alright, Mengmeng, don't worry. You eat first, and I'll go order two more dishes for Third Sister when she arrives."
"I...maybe I should just leave."
"Alright, Mengmeng, don't be scared, I'm here. You eat first. Didn't you just say this fish is delicious? Eat more fish." Wang Xinghe picked up a piece of fish and gave it to Liu Qingmeng.
"I see."
When Wang Xinghe returned after ordering, he found that Liu Qingmeng was not at her seat.
"Could he really be gone?"
Wang Xinghe called Liu Qingmeng.
"Mengmeng, where have you been?"
"I'm going to the restroom and fix my hair, it's a bit messy. You eat first, don't worry about me."
"Okay, come back soon, it's alright."
"I...I understand."
Ten minutes later, Liu Qingmeng slowly returned, carrying three cups of milk tea.
