Chapter 100 Speechless
[When you three were talking in the group chat, did you remember I was there too?]
Wow, the female lead is actually here!
Wow, the female lead is actually here!
Wow, the female lead is actually here!
The upstairs neighbor disrupted the formation.
[Exit]
That's right!
Ling Hao: "..."
Years later, she had almost forgotten how mischievous and eccentric her three roommates were. Luckily, the word "eccentric" exists now to describe them; if it were before, they would have been considered crazy.
Gongzi Yu certainly noticed their subtle interactions, but he didn't care at all. His gaze was fixed on Ling Hao; he only cared about her, and he only looked at her. If he wanted to, he could easily manipulate them, but he didn't want to do so now.
After losing Linghao, all he wanted was to watch over her and protect her; nothing more.
Linghao knew that Gongzi Yu was still shaken. She had only wanted her friends to get to know him, and she didn't expect him to change.
Linghao's roommates didn't care. They were just meeting their good friend's boyfriend; they wouldn't become friends with him. As long as he treated Linghao well, that was enough. As for the rest, it had nothing to do with them. Why should they be close to him?
Before she knew it, the National Day holiday arrived. Ling Hao, pulling her suitcase, entered the train station with Gongzi Yu. His ID card was perfectly valid, and buying tickets was no problem at all. However, she had bought the tickets too late; plane tickets were sold out, so she could only buy train tickets.
Fortunately, her home is in a neighboring city, not too far away, and there's no traffic jam when taking the high-speed train, otherwise it would be troublesome.
Gongzi Yu walked beside Ling Hao in casual clothes, his long hair casually tied up and draped down his back. His appearance and temperament were so outstanding that passersby couldn't help but turn around to look at him. But when they saw him, their gazes couldn't help but fall on the woman beside him.
Her appearance was outstanding, but what was even more striking was her aura. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always felt that she was like a sword.
Gongzi Yu ignored the gazes of others around him, but couldn't help looking around curiously. "Ah Hao, can the cars here really travel a thousand miles a day?" Although he had watched many videos and returned to the present in recent days, he still didn't have a real sense of some things.
For example, he always felt that traveling a thousand miles a day on high-speed trains was a bit excessive.
“Yes,” Linghao pointed ahead, “Look.”
Just then, a high-speed train passed by on the tracks, and the wind it created dissipated some of the heat.
Gongzi Yu stared at the speeding train with sparkling eyes. "Ah, let's buy one."
"Pfft." Passersby couldn't help but laugh when they heard Gongzi Yu's words. They weren't mocking him, but they just found his words somewhat amusing.
Gongzi Yu wasn't angry; he just looked at Ling Hao with a hint of grievance, as if to say, "Look, I've been bullied."
Ling Hao smiled helplessly and reached out her free hand to hold his. "Okay, okay, can I buy you a model? We really can't afford a high-speed train. A train that costs one or two hundred million is beyond our reach."
Gongzi Yu did some mental calculations, "I think we can still afford it." If they sold all their treasures, they could afford it. "Don't we have several paintings and calligraphies? I remember we even have a copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, that's enough."
He genuinely wanted a high-speed train and was seriously considering buying one.
Ling Hao turned around and looked at Gongzi Yu in shock. "You stole the Empress's... Sister's calligraphy?" She knew that the Emperor had a calligraphy by Wang Xizhi, which he had always treasured. She never expected that this guy would steal it.
Gongzi Yu earnestly corrected Ling Hao, saying, "It's not stealing, it's taking. My sister knows; she said she would give it to me." Although his sister only said she would give it to him after he realized that it was ineffective to stop her, he remembered that Ah Hao had repeatedly praised Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, which was why he wanted to take it.
At that time, he felt that only the best things were worthy of Ah Hao. He believed that if he had enough good things, Ah Hao might come back to see him. All the treasures in the world were not as precious as her. It was just a calligraphy copybook, what was wrong with that?
Ling Hao's lips twitched. "Didn't your older sister give you a beating?"
"Yes," Gongzi Yu smiled, "but it doesn't hurt." Anyway, his older sister couldn't beat him, and he could just run away.
Ling Hao sighed deeply, "Sister must have committed some terrible sins in her past life to have a brother like you." Not only did you sweep away all the precious medicinal herbs in her private treasury, but you even took her most beloved calligraphy by Wang Xizhi. You really deserve a beating.
Gongzi Yu said, "If that's the case, then our family members must have committed terrible sins in their past lives to have a relative like my sister." After all, her relative wielded the butcher's knife skillfully, killing almost all of her relatives, leaving only a few survivors. Isn't that a case of committing terrible sins in their past lives?
Ling Hao: "..."
What to do? Some things are hard to refute.
"Okay, we have money, so can we buy a high-speed train now?" Gongzi Yu asked again. He had already planned it out: once he sold the calligraphy and other treasures, he would have enough money to buy the high-speed train.
"No," Ling Hao interrupted Gongzi Yu's idyllic daydream. "First of all, the calligraphy copybook is with my sister, not us. Who knows when it will be ready?" While they might still have a chance to return to that world, it was also possible they wouldn't be able to. After all, her jade pendant was now dusty and clearly devoid of energy. Going back would likely be difficult, let alone retrieving her belongings. "Secondly, individuals cannot purchase high-speed train tickets."
"Alright." Gongzi Yu was a little disappointed. He really liked that bullet train, it was a pity.
Seeing him like this, Ling Hao felt sorry for him. "Okay, don't be sad. I'll buy you ice cream when we get on the bullet train." She didn't expect that Gongzi Yu, who had never cared much about food, would like ice cream, or even be obsessed with it.
However, because he ate too much the day before yesterday and got an upset stomach, she temporarily forbade him from eating ice cream, and from now on he can only have one every two days. Now she's relenting and saying he can buy it, because she feels sorry for him.
"Two," Gongzi Yu bargained.
“Okay,” Ling Hao agreed immediately.
Gongzi Yu was a little confused. Why was Ahao being so agreeable? After boarding the bullet train, sitting down, and the train starting to move, he got his ice cream back and then realized what was going on. "Ahao, this is clearly still an ice cream."
Don't assume that dividing something into two means it's two separate things; it's clearly one thing.
Ling Hao blatantly lied, "Nonsense, these are just two ice creams. Look, one in the left hand and one in the right, aren't they?"
Gongzi Yu looked at Ling Hao with a wronged expression, without saying a word, just staring at her.
Ling Hao silently looked away. Well, if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.
Gongzi Yu knew she wouldn't change her mind, so he could only eat the ice cream reluctantly. He wasn't stupid; if he continued arguing, he might end up with none.
Hmph, Ah Hao doesn't like him anymore, hmph.
As if hearing Gongzi Yu's inner grumbling, Ling Hao looked at him again and said, "Be a good boy, Yu. I'll give you two more the day after tomorrow, okay?"
"Two parts split in two?" Young Master Yu asked angrily.
"Don't worry, Ayu, they're definitely the kind of two produced by the manufacturer," Linghao assured him.
Gongzi Yu then smiled, "Alright." He didn't understand this world yet and didn't know that some ice creams were produced in small, mini ice creams.
Ling Hao smiled then, reaching out to take Gongzi Yu's hand, her fingers tracing patterns in his palm. At least that's how it appeared to others. [Someone is watching us.]
Gongzi Yu grasped Ling Hao's hand in return, his fingers tracing patterns on her palm. [He was staring at us even before we got in the car.]
[Let you talk nonsense, do you think we're some kind of super-rich family?]
[I was wrong. ]
[Never mind, it's fine.]
Ling Hao was fearless, since it wasn't a big deal and could be easily resolved.
So, when they got off the train, Ling Hao handed over several thieves to the train police, took their statements, and then took Gongzi Yu home by taxi.
"What delicious food did you cook today?" Lingzhi asked as she changed her shoes, smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen as she returned home.
"What did you say?" Cheng Wen came out of the kitchen. "The range hood in the kitchen was a bit loud, I didn't hear you clearly."
"I was wondering what delicious food to cook," Lingzhi said, looking at her husband. "Is there anything I like to eat?"
Cheng Wen said with a smile, "Of course there will be some dishes you like to eat. Although my daughter is coming back, I have prepared her favorite dishes, but I certainly can't forget my dear wife."
Lingzhi glared at him. "Be more composed. Our daughter said she's bringing her boyfriend home. Don't let her down."
Speaking of this, Cheng Wen's face twisted in disgust. "Damn it, some pig is trying to eat our cabbage!" His daughter, how could she have a boyfriend so quickly? He thought his daughter was slow to catch on and would wait until she had been working for several years before dating, but it turns out she was dating in college.
Damn it, damn it, damn it! Cheng Wen almost bent the spatula in his hand.
Lingzhi ignored the doting father and put down her bag to wash her hands.
Yes, Linghao took her mother's surname. The reason is simple: the surname Ling is rare and sounds nice, so she took her mother's surname. There's no earth-shattering reason, nor is it what outsiders speculate—that Lingzhi is a feminist pioneer or Cheng Wen is a cowardly son-in-law. None of that applies.
Simply because the surname Ling sounds nice, Ling Zhi and Cheng Wen decided at the same time to have their child take the surname Ling. It would be such a pity if such a rare and pleasant-sounding surname disappeared; they certainly want to pass it down, right?
"Mom and Dad, your precious daughter is back!" Linghao pushed open the door and shouted loudly. "By the way, this is my boyfriend, Gongzi Yu."
"Oh no!" Cheng Wen blurted out upon hearing his daughter's boyfriend's name. "This surname is even more unusual."
