“Yang Ming, you said that Wang Xiaoyan is your neighbor? She’s staying in the Hua Shang District, right?” Zhao Ying finally couldn’t help but ask.
Yang Ming was shocked as he thought to himself, What was inevitable has come eventually. How should I answer it? Yang Ming had a little headache. Logically, the relationship between him and Wang Xiaoyan couldn’t be exposed because their identities were very special, and they were indeed in a cooperative relationship.
“En , don’t you live in the Hua Shang District too?” asked Yang Ming. Zhao Ying’s mother, Wang Guifen, bought a house in the Hua Shang District for Zhao Ying later. Yang Ming paid the bill, so he was naturally very clear.
“I haven’t moved yet.” Zhao Ying shook her head. “I still live in the original place.”
“Why don’t you move in?” Yang Ming was stunned. I didn’t expect Zhao Ying to still live at her original place. You have a new house, and yet you stay in the rented house. What does this mean?
“I always felt that it was too surreal. I think that the house is not mine…” Zhao Ying sighed and shook her head. “The house was bought by you to bluff in front of my mother. Now, you can take it back… I can’t take your house for no reason…”
“How can it be for no reason? Are you not my sister?” Yang Ming said with a smile, “You can’t deny this. What is wrong with a brother buying a house for his sister?”
Yang Ming was very puzzled. What is Zhao Ying struggling with and hesitating deep down in her heart? It is clear that both of us are close to each other, but Zhao Ying still can’t make up her mind. She always withdraws at the critical moment.
Just now, Yang Ming had already hinted several times with words, but Zhao Ying still avoided it. This made Yang Ming helpless, and this was also why Yang Ming didn’t dare to confess.
“Let us not talk about this…” Zhao Ying felt that her heart was palpitating so fast that she couldn’t stand it much longer. She took a breath. “I’m going to buy something.” After that, she ran away quickly.
Yang Ming looked at the back of Zhao Ying running away. He could only smile bitterly. What is the resistance of Zhao Ying? Is it because she is shy? Or is it because of Wang Xiaoyan? Or is it Chen Mengyan?
As Yang Ming thought of Chen Mengyan, he suddenly recalled that Chen Mengyan was furious at Zhao Ying during the temple fair. Chen Mengyan scolded Zhao Ying as a fox which gave Yang Ming a headache. This matter is quite difficult!
Chen Mengyan was a traditional girl. Although she could now tolerate Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia, she might not be able to accommodate Zhao Ying in her heart! Because Zhao Ying was the teacher of Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan during high school, Chen Mengyan couldn’t accept the fact that the teacher had become a sister from the bottom of her heart… Most likely, she would be the first person to make a fuss at the first moment.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming suddenly had a headache. Zhao Ying is troubled by this, right?
In a blink of an eye, Zhao Ying had already bought the lotion she needed, but she had already settled the payment at the checkout counter in the supermarket and put the goods in a small bag. Yang Ming couldn’t help but smile. This isn’t something shameful. Why bother?
“Let’s go. I bought it.” Zhao Ying looked at Yang Ming, who was in a daze, then she smiled and spoke.
” Oh … alright.” Seeing that Zhao Ying didn’t want to mention the previous topic, Yang Ming wouldn’t mention it anymore. Anyway, he prepared a memory tree. Zhao Ying would understand his intention sooner or later.
Yang Ming and Zhao Ying pushed the ingredients in the cart, like a little couple who came to the supermarket to shop. Yang Ming enjoyed this feeling pretty much. Zhao Ying seemed to indulge in the fun of it, but the two did not say anything.
After the bill was settled, the two carried these ingredients together into the car. Although Yang Ming could do this alone, the feelings of doing it together were different. Each person held one side of the bag of goods, carrying the bag of goods together. There was a faint tacit mutual understanding.
When they got in the car, Yang Ming started the car and silently drove away toward Zhao Ying’s original residence. The familiar streets; the familiar communities. They came back here again after almost a year.
Yang Ming remembered the scene when Zhao Ying was sent home for the first time. It was still vivid in his mind, just like yesterday.
“What happened? You aren’t familiar with this place already?” Seeing Yang Ming in a daze, Zhao Ying patted Yang Ming’s shoulder and smiled. “Get off the car! The car can’t go any further. We can only walk in. Did you forget?”
” Oh oh …” Yang Ming got off along with Zhao Ying, carried a big bag of groceries and headed into the community area.
“How come the voice control lights are not installed here?” Yang Ming looked at the dark corridor and could not help but frown. “How dangerous is it for you to come back every day? Move to the new house tomorrow.”
“It’s alright. I’m used to it.” Zhao Ying said with a smile, “I have been living here for more than two years. Didn’t you come here before? At that time, I came home late from work every day. Moreover, I will stay on campus after lectures start in a few more days.”
“Then, just move. The house is empty anyway. You’re still renting a house. Aren’t you just finding ways to waste money?” Yang Ming said with a sigh and agitation, “How about you treat the house as though I rent it to you, then you can pay me rent?”
Zhao Ying was helpless with Yang Ming’s words. She couldn’t really pay Yang Ming rent, so it couldn’t be helped. She just said, “Well, I will move over after a few days when lectures start.”
“Let’s settle it tomorrow. I will come over to help you move tomorrow morning… Or else, I will sleep here tonight.” Yang Ming said thick-skinned.
“…” Zhao Ying was speechless. She knew that Yang Ming had a thick face, but she didn’t expect it to be so thick.
” Oh , then it is settled. In fact, I’m exhausted.” Yang Ming saw Zhao Ying remain silent, so he said, “I will treat it as though you agreed…”
“No!” Zhao Ying screamed in a hurry. However, after she finished speaking, she felt that her reaction was a bit too intense, so she eased her tone, “What if, what if Wang Xiaoyan came back? What should I do?”
What should you do? Isn’t that easy? When she comes back, we will have a threesome. But, Yang Ming said otherwise with his mouth, “I’m just joking…”
Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief. She did not know which sentence from Yang Ming was serious. She was confused.
Yang Ming’s action was flustering. Zhao Ying did not know if she would be scared to death by him.
The two went upstairs in tandem. Although the corridor was very dark, it was really like daylight for Yang Ming. Yang Ming walked in front and pulled Zhao Ying. The two soon came to Zhao Ying’s house.
Zhao Ying was about to open the door, but Yang Ming smiled as he took the key out of his pocket and opened the door.
“You… why do you have the key to my place?” Zhao Ying was shocked and looked at Yang Ming suspiciously. Could it be that Wang Xiaoyan gave him this key? Thinking of it here caused a feeling of sourness. Wang Xiaoyan actually gave the keys to Yang Ming? The relationship between the two people is definitely extraordinary.
“You gave it to me!” Yang Ming smiled. “Why? Don’t you remember?”
“I gave it to you?” asked Zhao Ying stupidly with shock.
“Yeah, I came here to grab some items during the holidays. You called your roommate in the campus dorm to give it to me…” said Yang Ming.
Zhao Ying remembered this. She gave Yang Ming a spare key. It was only after a lot of things happened that she had forgotten about it, so she didn’t take it back. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but be surprised and happy. Yang Ming actually takes it with him all the time!
“Give it back to me! If you didn’t say it, I would really have forgotten. If you sneak in, I won’t even know!” Zhao Ying said while extending her hand.
“We will move tomorrow. It doesn’t matter whether I give it anymore.” Yang Ming put the key back into his pocket. “What great timing. You can go to class tomorrow; I will help you move.”
Zhao Ying was utterly speechless. It seemed that I really need to move. Yang Ming had done it by force. When I come back from school tomorrow, the house would be empty.
“I don’t have classes tomorrow afternoon. Don’t mess around in the morning. Wait for me to move together.” Zhao Ying couldn’t be helped, but she could only compromise, “Certain things belong to the landlord. What do I do if you move it away?”
” Hehe , alright then. Afternoon it is. I will help you find some free labor.” Yang Ming thought to himself, If I have Bao Sanli send some security guards over, is it overdoing it?
The two entered the house. Zhao Ying put the ingredients into the refrigerator, only leaving what they could use today, then she started to cook in the kitchen.
Yang Ming was idle. He began to wander around the house. Seeing Zhao Ying working in the kitchen, Yang Ming crept into Zhao Ying’s room.
It was not Yang Ming’s first time into Zhao Ying’s room. However, when he first came, he didn’t dare to be too impudent. When he went for the second time, he was caught by Wang Xiaoyan. This time was the only time he was at ease.
Yang Ming took off his coat and threw it aside. Then he lay lazily on Zhao Ying’s bed, sniffing the scent which made Yang Ming felt good. He tossed around all night with Wang Xiaoyan yesterday. Then, Yang Ming went online for a long while where he barely rested.
As he lay on the soft bed, at the moment, drowsiness struck Yang Ming, and he went to sleep.
Zhao Ying prepared the food and called Yang Ming over to eat. She shouted for a long time, but she did not see any movement. She was helpless as she had to go out of the kitchen and went to Yang Ming personally.
She pushed open the door of her room, but she saw Yang Ming lying on her bed and sleeping soundly. Zhao Ying was irritated but amused at the same time.How can this Yang Ming be so impudent? As if he is in his own house?
She called Yang Ming a few times, but she didn’t see him waking up. Zhao Ying couldn’t be helped. She had to sit in front of the desk and turned on the computer. She started doing something else while waiting for Yang Ming to wake up.
In fact, Yang Ming woke up when Zhao Ying opened the door and came in. As an assassin, Yang Ming had a very quick reaction. He just pretended to be sleeping.
However, Yang Ming was indeed a little sleepy. Knowing that Zhao Ying was not likely going to harm him, he closed his eyes safely.
