A simple task
Yan Chi seemed to be stunned for a long time, until the girl not far away called him again, then he let go of Mu Qingyan's hand and walked over quickly.
"Wanning? How could you..." His voice was surprised and a little flustered.
The person standing at the entrance of the VIP passage was none other than Ye Wanning, the sweetheart that Yan Chi had mentioned today, who would be back next month.
Mu Qingyan had heard of the Ye family's daughter before, but she didn't expect to see her in such an occasion.
She must have come back secretly to give her boyfriend a surprise. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Qingyan, wait!"
There is no way I can take this step.
"Is that Qingyan? I hope you don't mind me calling you Miss Mu."
The girl was wearing a white dress and had a gentle smile. She walked over holding Yan Chi's hand.
Naturally, she couldn't be rude.
After a few greetings, the atmosphere became quite harmonious.
It was almost time. Mu Qingyan was about to take the opportunity to say goodbye when Ye Wanning suddenly said:
"Qingyan, has your friend arrived? It's so late, why don't you let Achi wait for a while and we go back together. Okay, Achi?"
"Oh... no need. My friend is a bit socially anxious and doesn't speak Chinese very well, so—"
“So, if you don’t mind, we can talk in Spanish.”
…
In the car, Mu Qingyan glanced at the person next to him who was resting with his eyes closed, and doubted his life for the umpteenth time tonight.
"Qingyan..." Ye Wanning, who was sitting opposite him, spoke softly, "What does your friend do? Is his hand... really okay?"
Even though the acceptance of bionic technology is getting higher and higher, it is hard not to be frightened by someone's right arm at this moment.
There was hardly any protoplasm or artificial muscle covering it, and all the intricate gears, torques, and pipelines were stacked tightly together and abruptly exposed.
Mu Qingyan withdrew her gaze, feeling a little embarrassed:
"He...he's a computer repairman. He injured his hand...while exploring the mountains. He didn't fix it properly. Don't mind..."
Even with a mask and a hat, my old friend couldn't hide his messy and curly beard and hair. His unkempt appearance really gave him the air of a wild man from the mountains.
This guy suddenly showed up at the airport just now, and before he could say a few words, Yan Chi's driver reminded him that a large group of reporters were coming this way and asked them to leave quickly.
He also came up to advise her:
"Madam...oh, sorry, Miss Mu, if the reporters saw you and the young master picking up friends and leaving separately, I'm afraid it would be hard to explain what happened next."
So, it became the current situation where everyone is looking at each other.
"It's hard to be a maintenance worker these days, Achi. Can you let Qingyan's friend join Yan's? That way, they can both look after each other."
Yan Chi had been silent since leaving the airport. He didn't know what he was thinking. Finally, he came to his senses:
"Sure. I'm just afraid this friend doesn't think highly of the Yan family."
Following a mechanical hum, the person mentioned stretched and spoke in somewhat unstandard Chinese:
"Mr. Yan... is quite self-aware."
Yan Chi clenched his fists instantly.
Although the man opposite was dressed like a homeless man, it was not difficult to see a bit of sharpness and arrogance in his emerald green eyes.
He felt in his heart that this Jewish man named York was definitely not a good person.
What puzzled him even more was why Mu Qingyan would get involved with such a person.
"Qingyan, your friend doesn't seem to understand what etiquette is."
Before Mu Qingyan could speak, Ye Wanning grabbed Yan Chi's arm and gently advised:
"Mr. York is new to China and doesn't understand the local customs and practices, so that's understandable. Don't be like this... Qingyan, don't mind me. You know, Achi sometimes has a bad temper..."
Mu Qingyan ignored Yan Chi, but had to consider Ye Wanning's face, so she began to educate her friend with gritted teeth.
But before he could say a few words, the driver in the front row suddenly said, "Master, there's a car following us."
Yan Chi glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "It's those haunting reporters again! Keep driving and see how long they can catch up."
After a moment, York, who seemed to realize that he had been a little rude, suddenly said:
"Yan, give me your phone, I might be able to help."
Mu Qingyan thought to herself that it was a good thing that she didn't get cheated in this unfamiliar place, but she still handed the phone over and watched her friend dial a few numbers.
It took a long time to get through.
York communicated with the other party in Spanish throughout the conversation, and she understood the general meaning:
"Don't you have connections in the entertainment industry? ... I'll give you a license plate number... We're being followed... Well, luckily it's nothing serious... Okay, please hurry up..."
After hanging up the phone, she took the phone, glanced at the number casually, hesitated for a moment, and then turned off the screen.
As expected, the journey was smooth. At the door of the two-story villa, Mu Qingyan got out of the car and took York's things one by one.
After taking in the decor and furnishings of the house, the latter almost instantly threw his large suitcase to the ground, muttering to himself, "This is my home! Yan! This... isn't this my home in Silicon Valley? It's exactly the same! My god——!!!"
He couldn't help but hugged her tightly: "I knew you loved me so much! I'm so happy!"
Yan Chi, who had just gotten out of the car, followed Ye Wanning in and happened to see this scene—
“Enough!!!”
The sound was so loud that even Ye Wanning, who was standing at the entrance, was startled.
"Achi..."
Unexpectedly, the man did not respond to her in time for the first time.
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Qingyan in the middle of the living room:
"What are you doing? Being so intimate with another man in public, if we get caught on camera, how am I going to explain this to the shareholders?"
York's smile instantly disappeared. He was about to go over and argue with his friend, but his friend sent him upstairs to take a shower.
Mu Qingyan didn't even look at Yan Chi, she walked straight past him and came to Ye Wanning:
"I'm sorry to bother you...you guys tonight. Miss Ye, please go home and rest quickly..."
"What about you?" Yan Chi behind him asked with suppressed anger.
In front of Ye Wanning, she didn't want to embarrass the man:
"My friend just got home, and I thought I'd stay here and help him clean up. Excuse me, Mr. Yan, is there anything I can help you with?"
"What's the problem? Mu Qingyan, don't forget your current status! Staying in another man's house in the middle of the night, where will the Yan family's reputation be?"
——Is there something wrong with this person’s brain?
——Who told her to leave as soon as possible?
Just as he was about to retort, Ye Wanning, who hadn't gotten a word in, grabbed Yan Chi's arm with shaking hands:
"Achi...can we go back..."
…
"G, are you there?"
In the living room, Mu Qingyan synchronized York's mobile phone with the server here.
Soon, an inorganic male voice sounded:
"Long time no see, Miss Mu, I'm waiting for your orders."
On the huge display that occupied half of the wall, all projects began to update rapidly. It was indeed worthy of being the world's most cutting-edge AI technology created by York.
"Any news from Infinity?"
"We detected a signal locating the gentleman's phone, but no offensive operations were performed."
"What? Are you worried that Dustin will do something weird if he finds out I'm here?"
Mu Qingyan turned around and looked when he heard the voice.
Although we have known each other for many years, it has been quite a while since we last saw each other. When this person came back, he was in the same state again.
Now after taking a bath, he has returned to his original exotic and handsome appearance. I have to admit that it is still quite amazing.
After all, this is what York Stanson, the 26-year-old CTO of Infinity, is like.
"I was thinking, the second-in-command suddenly ran away, but it didn't even trend on the Internet, and Dustin didn't react at all. It's really strange."
York smiled indifferently: "With his personality, he probably wouldn't let us know even if he broke the wall, so you don't have to worry about it. But as for that Yan, Yan, I really don't understand why you came to-"
"Yan Chi isn't important, but his Yan Group is still somewhat useful. You'll know when the time comes! By the way, my lab is almost finished, and I'll have to ask the CTO for some advice!"
“No problem!”
…
"Ma'am, are you sure you want to get off here? But the place ahead is just an abandoned playground. It's too dangerous for a girl like you to get off here in the middle of the night!"
"It's okay, my home is nearby."
She pretended not to see the driver's horrified look, paid the fare, and got out of the car.
Before I could stand firmly, the car suddenly rushed out.
Mu Qingyan: “…”
Walking slowly along the path, which was overgrown with weeds and where most of the abandoned amusement equipment had rusted, she felt a sense of tranquility and peace of mind she had never experienced before.
So, when a scream suddenly came from the front, even she, who was calm as she was, couldn't help but tremble with fear -
“…Help! Help…”
"Who? Get out here! K, get ready to call the police!" Mu Qingyan directly called the AI system in his mobile phone.
"Hey hey hey—don't call the police, don't call the police! I'm not a bad person—"
A hand stretched out from the bushes ahead and waved at her.
As the distance got closer, the person lying at the bottom of the sand pit suddenly raised his head.
When their eyes met, Mu Qingyan was stunned for a moment.
Although she had seen at least eight hundred handsome men and beautiful women, none of them could compare to the pair of good eyes that this young man had.
Even with a mask on, it's not hard to tell that she's a beauty, although the weeds and dust in her hair kind of ruin her image.
The young man looked at her with some surprise, and after a long while he wailed:
"I... I finally found a lifeline! Sister, you are my angel! Please save me..."
The tone was miserable enough, but the voice was inexplicably pleasant.
Only then did Mu Qingyan notice the bandage on the other person's leg.
She had no choice but to jump in to save the man and help find the crutches.
The young boy was tall and big, but he looked pitiful as he limped, which made Mu Qingyan frown.
I couldn't help but scold him a few times, making him feel even more wronged:
"I...I'm just too annoyed by them, so I want to talk it out-"
"Close your eyes."
"Huh? Oh..."
Although the boy was confused, he did not refuse. He stood there obediently as if letting others do whatever they wanted. Mu Qingyan couldn't help but curl her lips and smile.
She took a step closer, first patted the other person's forehead to remove the weeds stuck on it, then stroked her fingers on the pair of sunflower-like eyelashes, and moved her fingertips slightly to gently rub off the dust.
"Thank...thank you, sister..." Something fell off as he spoke just now, and now he feels much more comfortable.
Mu Qingyan looked at the young boy's reddened eyes under the dim light, coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment, and waved her hand:
"It's hard to get a taxi here. I'll walk you a few steps ahead."
"It's okay, my family is already looking for me and will find me here soon. But I have to trouble my sister to wait with me for a while..."
