Chapter 125 Extra: A high-rise building in Guangcheng...
Inside a high-rise luxury hotel in Guangcheng.
A teenage boy was sitting at a table in front of the French windows. He was wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts, and his hair was neatly styled.
The boy is very handsome. He had round eyes when he was a child. As he grew up, he gradually combined his father's characteristics and became standard peach blossom eyes. His eyes are slightly upturned and his pupils are clear. Anyone who sees him will say that he is a smart and handsome boy.
The hotel TV was quietly on, and the floor was covered in a soft, fine carpet. Atop the carpet sat a large, solid wood coffee table, where the boy often sat these days, working on his jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle on the table was already one-third complete; this thousand-piece wooden puzzle was chosen for him by his mother before he left.
To be honest, it doesn't suit boys' current taste. The landscape painting is just that the patterns and colors are similar, so it adds some complexity, which makes boys a little interested.
On the table were Coke and Sprite, drinks from the room's refrigerator. He had already planned to stop by a nearby convenience store to buy some supplies before going out that evening.
What is the boy doing in front of the table at this time? Below his line of sight is the hustle and bustle of traffic, and if he continues to look forward, he can see the blue bay in the distance.
But he was concentrating on the books and test papers spread out on the table.
Yes, he is now a student who is about to enter his second year of high school.
This holiday, two of his family's elders signed up for a tour group and went on a trip together. His parents, both of whom were quite carefree, left their jobs and asked their boss for leave. After explaining their plans to him, they both flew abroad.
His parents' lives were incredibly comfortable; anyone could leave at any time. However, if the two elders knew that they had left him alone at home, they would definitely be angry.
The boy finally decided to keep the matter a secret so that the two grandmothers could have fun. He packed several sets of clothes, a cell phone and a computer, and went alone to book a hotel for a month.
As for those parents, they could only wait for him to come back and settle the score.
To be honest, it feels pretty good to stay in a hotel alone.
When he was young, he would sometimes go on business trips or outings with his parents. He had adapted to and even enjoyed the experience of chasing football games and doing homework in hotels many times.
In fact, even if his parents were at home, he had already decided to stay in a hotel for a few days. It was not because his family atmosphere was bad, on the contrary.
He was the only child in his family, surrounded by four adults, and the sole heir to his parents' business and wealth. With harmonious relationships among his elders, loving parents, and a wealthy family, the boy thought it would be hard to imagine anyone happier than him.
So, he chose not to stay at home during the summer vacation and stayed in a hotel simply because he liked it.
For such an expensive room, comfort is a must. He can do whatever he wants. The air conditioning is on all day, and food and drinks can be delivered by phone. He doesn't have to worry about the room being dirty or his family worrying about his daily routine. He can just do whatever he wants.
He had just finished a test paper and had just stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to relax when he heard his cell phone ringing.
The boy picked up the phone and pressed the answer button, then heard his friend's bright and cheerful voice: "Brother Yi, where are you now? I heard your uncle and aunt are not at home, are you coming out to play?"
The person who was speaking was his childhood friend Fang Nan. This guy has been the same since he was a child.
The boy was Jiang Yi. He told the other party an address, and the other party said he would be there soon and ended the call quickly.
Jiang Yi looked at the phone in his hand and shrugged helplessly.
After about ten minutes, the doorbell rang.
Jiang Yi walked to the door and just as he opened it, a boy with dyed yellow hair and about the same age rushed in excitedly, complaining as he rushed in: "This hotel management is really strict. I have to call you before I can come up."
Jiang Yi closed the door resignedly, turned around, and saw the boy looking here and there as if he was visiting a museum.
His eyes sparkled, and everything he saw was new and interesting. He exclaimed at Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, you're living like a god. Why did Uncle Jiang book such a nice hotel for you? It's such a waste for you to live alone. How about I move in with you?"
Jiang Yi politely declined. He looked at Fang Nan and asked curiously, "Why are you acting like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden? Have you never seen this before?"
Fang Nan stuck his head out of the refrigerator, holding a carton of milk. "Ah? Who is Granny Liu? Don't you have a grandmother?"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but hold his forehead and made the same gesture his father usually did.
"It's okay, just continue."
After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he sat down on the black leather sofa in the middle of the living room. Just as he was about to turn up the volume, he heard Fang Nan scream as if something had happened.
Jiang Yi wondered what was going on and quickly sat up straight and looked at him.
Who knew that guy Fang Nan was holding the test paper he had just finished, and asked him with a look of disbelief: "Brother Yi, are you okay? How can you do your homework while staying in a hotel?"
Seeing Fang Nan making a fuss about this, he turned his head away and ignored her, constantly changing channels with the remote control.
What Fang Nan really wanted to say was, "Is there something wrong with your brain?" His parents looked down on him for being stupid and not studying hard, but was this the right way to study hard? Why would he stay in such an expensive hotel just to do his homework?
He shook his head with lifeless eyes, muttering, "Kill me!", and then fell lightly to the ground, right on the carpet.
Seeing that Jiang Yi ignored him, Fang Nan stood up after he finished his trick and sat next to Jiang Yi.
"No wonder your uncle and aunt are so confident in letting you stay in the hotel alone. If I were like that, my parents would definitely stuff me into the hotel and not let me go back." After saying that, he took a sip of ice milk and clicked his tongue twice.
Jiang Yi, watching TV nearby, said casually, "Then you should focus on your studies and stop playing all day!"
Fang Nan: "No, if a man doesn't indulge in romance, he will live a wasted youth!"
Jiang Yi glanced at him and shook his head helplessly again, "Don't look for me next time you get scolded."
Fang Nan frowned when she heard that, and was about to pull up Jiang Yi's sleeve and start crying.
Jiang Yi was prepared. He moved to the side and stayed away from Fang Nan's range.
"Brother Yi, you don't love me anymore!" Fang Nan complained.
Jiang Yi thought that his mother might have told Aunt Wen Ying about it after she went abroad, so when he had been in the hotel for about two weeks, Aunt Wen Ying suddenly called and asked him to have dinner with her.
Jiang Yi thought, it must be to see if he was living well alone.
The restaurant that Aunt Wenying booked was near the hotel where he was staying. It was a very famous restaurant, but it was quite expensive.
As the younger generation, Jiang Yi went over first. After a while, Aunt Wen Ying came over with her husband and daughter.
Jiang Yi saw people coming and stood up to greet them one by one, "Auntie Wen, Uncle Xie! And good evening, Yunyun."
Aunt Wen’s husband is Xie Kuang. My mother told me that they used to work together, but Uncle Xie resigned from his job in order to marry Aunt Wen and went to work for a well-known foreign daily chemical company. He is very capable and has now become a senior executive.
Their daughter is only six years old now. Because Aunt Wen had suffered a miscarriage and her body was damaged before, the couple got married for a long time before having this daughter, and she is very much loved.
After Wen Ying sat down, she said to her husband, "Xia Li was worried that Jiang Yi couldn't take care of himself, so she called from abroad and insisted that I come to see him. I think he's doing very well. His face is rosy, and he can take care of himself better than your mother!" After saying that, she smiled.
Xie Kuang also said, "Yes, I think Xia Li was having too much fun outside and felt guilty towards her son."
Jiang Yi also lowered his head and laughed. He felt that what Uncle Xie said hit the nail on the head. He knew his mother very well.
Xie Yun sat between his parents, looking curiously at his brother across from him. Actually, the two had met during Chinese New Year this year, but perhaps because of the huge age difference, Xie Yun couldn't quite remember his brother.
Wen Ying gently asked her daughter, "Yunyun, do you still remember Brother Jiang Zai?" You can't tell at all that she is a very famous female entrepreneur in society.
Jiang Yi admired his aunt very much, because he had heard his mother tell him more than once that Aunt Wenying never used an iron-fisted approach to manage the company. She was gentle yet powerful, intelligent and far-sighted, and was a very wise leader.
Jiang Yi was having a very happy chat with Aunt Wenying and Uncle Xie, but his cell phone rang in the middle. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Fang Nan.
Yes, Fang Nan finally moved into Jiang Yi's luxurious room despite being desperate.
After reading the message, he frowned, thought for a moment, looked at the two elders opposite him, and asked apologetically if one of his friends could come over as well.
Wen Ying wondered what was going on, but after hearing what Jiang Yi said, she happily agreed.
Xie Kuang also said, "Since he's your friend, Jiang Yi, then of course you're welcome. Our Yunyun can make new friends again today."
Xie Yun was chewing steak obediently beside him. After hearing what her father said, she raised her head and blinked her beautiful eyes at her father in confusion, which made Xie Kuang laugh.
Fang Nan acted alone today, so Jiang Yi felt relieved to come out alone, but now he came back early and couldn't enter the room, so Jiang Yi had to ask someone to come over here.
Fang Nan felt very embarrassed when he appeared in front of them. For him, this kind of emotion appeared very rarely.
But today, looking at the people sitting around, while not wearing formal attire, they were all dressed very respectably. Even Jiang Yi, who usually wore casual clothes like short-sleeved T-shirts, looked respectable today. He even knew the brand of the skirt worn by the little girl in the middle seat. A piece of children's clothing would cost at least several figures.
But what about him? He was dressed in all kinds of colorful clothes, including a short-sleeved shirt and flowery shorts. Fortunately, the shoes on his feet were not flip-flops, so he could still feel a little comforted.
But if Jiang Yi had told him earlier that the meal he was going to eat would be like this, he would not have come no matter how delicious it was.
Fang Nan smiled broadly, but tears welled up inside. However, he still had some courtesy at the critical moment. Fang Nan bowed and said, "Hello, uncles and aunts! Hello, little sister! My name is Fang Nan, and I'm a friend of Jiang Yi. It's a little intrusive since this is our first meeting, so I hope you don't mind!"
Wen Ying and Xie Kuang have both experienced a lot, so how could they mind such a sincere child, not to mention that he is Jiang Yi's friend.
They smiled and asked Fang Nan to sit down quickly, and asked the waiter to add some dishes that young people like.
With Fang Nan as a lively guy, both the host and the guests had a great time during the banquet.
Finally, after sending the family of three to the car and watching the car drive away, Fang Nan put an arm on Jiang Yi's shoulder as if he had lost all hope in life. "You think uncle and auntie won't have a bad impression of me? I'm dressed too casually today, and my performance wasn't the best." He looked annoyed.
Jiang Yi didn't understand Fang Nan's thoughts. He said puzzledly, "How could that be? After all these years, how could I not know what kind of person you are? Since I can let you out today, of course I'm not afraid of you getting embarrassed. Besides, uncles and aunts are very good people, they are very tolerant."
After hearing this, Fang Nan exclaimed, "Ah!!! Jiang Yi, I will never coexist with you!"
The two people were in a mess.
