“What a joke,” Sun Kun said with a smile. “Yang Ming, you know me. This is my character. If you insist on giving it to me, you’re disrespecting me!”
” Ah ? That…” Zhou Jiajia was overwhelmed. It was reasonable to say that her relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming wasn’t very close, so when Sun Kun rejected the fee, Zhou Jiajia didn’t know what to do.
“Forget it, Zhou Jiajia. It’s fine.” Yang Ming shook his head, “If you feel uneasy, then you can treat him to a meal someday.”
“Okay!” Zhou Jiajia was moved. If I ask Sun Kun to eat, then Yang Ming should attend, right? So she said, “If I treat, will Brother Sun be my guest?”
“Of course? I have long wanted to have a good drink with Brother Yang!” Sun Kun smiled and said, “I’m definitely going!”
“Well then, it’s decided. In the coming two days, Brother Sun, when you will be free?” Zhou Jiajia asked.
“Not today. I’m going to my sister’s house to eat. My brother-in-law got promoted; I have to celebrate with him!” Sun Kun thought for a moment and said, “What about tomorrow night? I’m will be free after I have finished work. If I drink, I can’t drive!”
“Yang Ming, are you free?” Zhou Jiajia’s intention wasn’t asking Sun Kun. She only wanted to ask Yang Ming.
“Since Brother Sun is free, of course, I am!” Yang Ming said with a smile, “That’s it – tomorrow night. As for where to eat, Brother Sun, do you have any good suggestions?”
“Winter is too cold. Why don’t we go for the food stalls?” Sun Kun nodded and said, “Would you like to have the bone sauce? I know a nice restaurant.”
“Well, then let’s make the appointment tomorrow. Brother Sun, do you have my cell number?” Yang Ming asked.
“No, tell me it.” Sun Kun said, “When I first met you, you didn’t have a cell phone yet, right?”
“Right, I was in high school at that time!” Yang Ming smiled and told his phone number to Sun Kun, then he said, “As for Zhou Jiajia, I will contact her. Tomorrow, we will contact each other again.”
“No problem! I will call you when I get off from work.” Sun Kun said, “I won’t drive tomorrow. You can take a taxi or take the subway!”
After discussing the gathering tomorrow, Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia arrived at their destination. After bidding farewell to Sun Kun, Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia walked into Song Jiang Industry University together.
” En ? Zhou Jiajia, what are you doing at the school during the big festival?” When Yang Ming saw Zhou Jiajia walk into the school with him, he couldn’t help but find it strange.
” Ah ? I… I have something in my room. I needed to go back and get it…” Zhou Jiajia was originally going to her grandma’s house near Song Jiang Ìndustry University, but when she got off the car, she automatically walked onto the campus with Yang Ming. She thought about walking with Yang Ming for a while, and then she would go to her grandma’s house. She couldn’t help but be nervous when she was questioned by Yang Ming.
” Oh , I see. Are you in rush?” Yang Ming asked casually. Generally speaking, if it wasn’t something urgent, she wouldn’t have gone back to the university to get it.
” En … quite urgent…” Zhou Jiajia shouted.
Yang Ming couldn’t ask more. Although it was strange, he could only give up! In any case, it was a girl’s personal belonging. Zhou Jiajia definitely couldn’t talk about it.
So, Zhou Jiajia had also escaped.
Near the family building, Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia said goodbye. Yang Ming didn’t understand where Zhou Jiajia was going. Logically Zhou Jiajia’s dormitory should be in the opposite direction. Why was she following me here?
However, Yang Ming didn’t ask too much, because he would seem to be a busybody!
Zhou Jiajia was also in her usual mood. How come I ended up in this place? Shouldn’t I be going to the dormitory? Will Yang Ming doubt it? Seeing that Yang Ming didn’t ask much, Zhou Jiajia was relieved.
When he came to Liu Weishan’s home, Xiao Qing opened the door. She said with some complaint, “How come you came so slow?”
“Sister Xiao Qing, during the festival, it isn’t easy to hail a taxi especially during lunch time!” Yang Ming said with a bitter smile, “I even shared a taxi with another person!”
“Okay, quickly come in and eat. Take off your coat. We are just waiting for you!” Chu Huifang came out from the house and said to Yang Ming.
“G.o.dmother!” Yang Ming answered, then took off his coat and handed it to Xiao Qing.
“Such a big boy already, do you still trouble your sister to hang up your coat?” Chu Huifang complained, “However, my Qing Qing is still young. She doesn’t look like a brother-sister with Yang Ming!”
“Really?” Xiao Qing was astounded. She was very happy. She always feared others would say that she was older than Yang Ming. Now, hearing Chu Huifang’s words, she was naturally very happy.
“Not like a brother-sister?” Yang Ming asked casually.
“Just like a couple!” Chu Huifang laughed.
” Huh ?” Yang Ming and Xiao Qing were shocked at the same time. Could it be that Chu Huifang noticed something wrong?
“What’s that expression? Is that too exaggerated?” Chu Huifang also misunderstood; she thought her words made the two children too surprised, so she explained, “I’m just making a joke. Look at you two! Why? Mom can’t even make a joke?”
“No… no…” Yang Ming responded first. It turned out that Chu Huifang was unintentional. Yang Ming was relieved, “G.o.dmother, you simply make… nothing…”
“Mom, what are you talking about?” But Xiao Qing was a girl, she was somewhat embarra.s.sed. She pulled Chu Huifang’s arm coquettishly.
” Eh-hem !” Chu Huifang coughed twice, “Why can’t I say anything about that? You two aren’t really brother and sister! I think you two are quite a couple… ai, but Yang Ming already has a girlfriend. Otherwise, you two are really a match…”
“My wife, what are you talking about?” Liu Weishan came over from the study room. “How old are you? You act like a kid. Why are you making fun of the children?”
“Isn’t it that I always say what I’m thinking? I’m not an outsider. What else should I avoid?” Chu Huifang frowned.
“Well, let’s eat. Qing Qing, Big Ming, don’t listen to your G.o.dmother!” Liu Weishan waved and said with a smile.
Both Yang Ming and Xiao Qing were relieved at the same time. They were really afraid that Chu Huifang would keep talking about this issue and then discover something!
They looked at each other and saw the worries in each other’s eyes. They couldn’t help but smile at each other. Everything happened without saying.
When they were eating, Chu Huifang was stunned again, “Qing Qing, now it’s 2009; you are one year older. You are 31 years old this year, right?”
” En …” Xiao Qing sighed and knew what Chu Huifang wanted to say, but she couldn’t stop it. She just answered softly.
“Women, when they are over 30 years old, they start to age. Shouldn’t you find a boyfriend?” Chu Huifang said, “Women at your age already have kids!”
“Mom… I…” Xiao Qing’s face was gloomy and she looked down.
” Ah ? Right…” Chu Huifang was shocked and quickly explained, “Qing Qing, Mom didn’t mean the other matter…”
The matter about Xiao Qing not being able to give birth, Chu Huifang naturally knew about it, so the unintentional words just now might have hurt Xiao Qing’s heart. However, Xiao Qing didn’t feel so sad. She just felt a little bit of ache in her heart. Then she felt nothing… Her relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming wasn’t a good thing to spread. Being unable to give birth was just a small matter, right?
“Mom, I know. It’s okay. It’s all in the past… And, I don’t want to get married in my life…” Xiao Qing shook her head and said faintly.
“Qing Qing, mom urges you to marry. It is for your own good!” Chu Huifang said, “Your father and I are both old and can’t accompany you for a lifetime. If we leave, then you will be alone. Isn’t this too lonely?”
“Nothing, isn’t there Yang Ming?” Xiao Qing said with a smile, “Yang Ming, you won’t ditch me in the future, right?”
” Ah? Ugh … How can I? How can I not want you?” Yang Ming was sweating,This Xiao Qing really dared to talk! She even said this! I don’t know if she has a hidden meaning in her sentence…
“Mom, you see? Yang Ming said it. Don’t worry about it!” Xiao Qing said seriously.
” Ai ! How can that be the same? Yang Ming is your younger brother. After he gets married, naturally he won’t have much time to accompany you…” Chu Huifang shook her head and sighed.
“Okay, my wife, don’t say it!” Liu Weishan waved his hands and interrupted Chu Huifang’s words. “Children have their own lives. We should just watch over them. Don’t simply tell them what to do!”
