Chapter 805: Goodbye
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Yang Ming quickly dialed Lan Ling’s number, but a message came – “User had shut down.” Yang Ming sighed. Lan Ling had been away for four months. He didn’t know how her studies have been going, and he had yet to get her grandmother’s authentic teaching.
The phone rang suddenly, and Yang Ming was surprised. He thought that Lan Ling had called back, but when he looked at the number, it wasn’t her. It was an unfamiliar out-of-town long-distance phone number.
“Hello.” Yang Ming picked up the phone.
“Little Yang? I’m Yingying’s mother!” The voice of Wang Guifen came over the phone.
“Aunty, hello.” Yang Ming said politely, “Are you looking for me?”
“It’s like this. That… Didn’t I bring Yingying to attend a wedding? As a result, someone here likes Yingying. He asked her to go out with him today! I just wanted to remind you not to let a rival take her away…” Wang Guifen had always believed that only competition could reflect the importance of her daughter. Therefore, when she found out that someone was pursuing Zhao Ying, she quickly informed Yang Ming.
Although her daughter’s suitor was from the Sui Family, Wang Guifen’s interest was no longer piqued. In her view, the Sui Family’s strength was far worse than Yang Ming.
“Wait, Aunty. How come Zhao Ying also went? Didn’t she say she was not going?” Yang Ming asked in shock.
“It just happened that she finished her report in the past few days, and she had nothing going on, so she came with us.” Wang Guifen said, “Right, we will go back tomorrow, but the tickets are hard to buy now…”
“Then how about this, Aunty? I will go and pick you up.” How could Yang Ming not understand Wang Guifen’s meaning?
“Really? Isn’t this troublesome?” Wang Guifen pretended to be embarrassed and asked.
“It’s okay. Then, should I go there tomorrow morning?” asked Yang Ming.
“You can come earlier, too. Yingying misses you,” said Wang Guifen.
Zhao Ying missed him? Yang Ming was shocked until he didn’t know what to say, and he didn’t know whether what Wang Guifen said was true or false.
“Okay…” Yang Ming hung up the phone inexplicably and stretched. Valentine’s Day, it’s really not easy to celebrate.
Yang Ming put on his coat, came to the balcony and watched Song Jiang in the cold wind, a city that he had lived in for nearly two decades. He wanted to light a cigarette but found that he had forgotten where he left the lighter. It might have been lost at sea today, or it might have been left in the hotel where he lingered with Chen Mengyan.
Yang Ming reluctantly put the cigarette back into the cigarette case.
Suddenly, Yang Ming was keenly aware that someone was watching him. He abruptly turned his head and found that Shu Ya was looking at him from another balcony.
Yang Ming was astounded, Am I not the only one on this floor? However, he immediately remembered. Shu Ya lived on the top floor, and the loft where Yang Ming stayed was indeed one level higher than Shu Ya’s. He was now in the level below the loft, which was next to Shu Ya’s room. Only half of the space on the top floor was changed to the lobby below the loft.
“How come you didn’t rest yet?” Yang Ming saw Shu Ya, sighed and waved at her.
“Aren’t you not asleep yet? You’re already here. Why don’t you come to see me?” Shu Ya’s voice was calm. He didn’t know what she was thinking.
“I just got here. I thought you have rested.” After all, Yang Ming and Shu Ya were just ordinary friends. Yang Ming couldn’t go to see Shu Ya every time he came to Tavern Heaven on Earth.
“Come and chat with me?” Shu Ya batted her eyes.
“Now? Isn’t it too late? Another day maybe?” Yang Ming said in a dilemma.
“Why? Did you come with your girlfriend?” Shu Ya smiled.
Yang Ming was helpless. He looked at the time on the phone and said, “Okay, I’ll just go sit for a while.”
” En , then you come over. I will open the door for you.” Shu Ya said with some delight.
“No need. I will go over from here.” Yang Ming jumped out along the edge of the balcony and climbed to Shu Ya’s balcony like Spider-Man. After a few moments, he stood in front of Shu Ya.
” Oh , your skills in having an affair is good!” Shu Ya smiled.
Yang Ming almost didn’t stand still after listening, and smiled bitterly, “I do this to assassinate people. What does it have to do with an affair?”
“You must be quite busy on Valentine’s Day?” Shu Ya asked with some sarcasm.
“How do you know?” asked Yang Ming.
“I’m guessing,” said Shu Ya. “I am leaving tomorrow. The concert here is over.”
“You’re leaving tomorrow?” Yang Ming was stunned. He didn’t pay attention to the schedule of the concert.
” En , I’ll go to Macau tomorrow, and then go back to the mainland, but it won’t be Song Jiang anymore. Then it’ll have to be arranged again.” Shu Ya said, “Thank you for your hospitality during this time. I’m really happy.”
Yang Ming was still wondering why Shu Ya was still looking for a chat even though it was so late. It turned out that she wanted to say goodbye to him. He also felt a little bit emotional at the same time. He recalled the process of getting acquainted with Shu Ya. It seemed like a fairy-tale.
Yang Ming was also feeling unfortunate about the mystery that had always puzzled him. Yang Ming had never been able to connect Shu Ya and Su Ya together, but these two people were amazingly similar in some respects!
After his bafflement, Yang Ming could only chalk it to the wonders of the world to explain such a coincidence.
“I won’t say those words of goodbye, but you can contact me whenever you need to.” Yang Ming sighed.
” Hehe , it seems that you really see me as your good friend.” Shu Ya smiled.
“Speaking of which, I am honored. I really get a lot of face when I say that I have a big celebrity as a friend.” Yang Ming also smiled, “I am far worse. If you speak of me, no one would know me.”
“Why should you say it out? It’s enough to remember it in your own heart.” Shu Ya didn’t care about it. She took a well-wrapped item from the coffee table and handed it to Yang Ming. “This is for you.”
“A Valentine’s Day gift?” Yang Ming was a little surprised. “Do you have a secret crush on me?”
“Yeah, what about it?” Shu Ya smiled and said, “It’s only a temporary farewell gift. Open it when you go back.”
“Okay.” Yang Ming nodded and said, “I didn’t know you were leaving. I will give you a gift next time.”
“It doesn’t matter, Hehe .” Shu Ya didn’t care. “Okay, go back earlier. Your girlfriend would be anxious later.”
Yang Ming smiled awkwardly, but what Shu Ya said was also true. Sun Jie should already have taken a shower. Yang Ming stood up and returned to his room from the balcony.
However, Yang Ming still overestimated the speed of Sun Jie and Xiao Qing. The two had yet to come out of the bathroom. Yang Ming even thought evilly, Are these two people doing some shady business that exceeded friendship?
He wanted to use his x-ray vision to see, but he held back. It was really tasteless to peek at his own women. If he wanted to see it, he could look righteously.
He knocked on the door. After a while, Sun Jie’s voice came. “Who is it? What do you want?”
“Open the door. I also want to wash up,” said Yang Ming simply.
“If you have the ability, you can come in through the wall.” Sun Jie replied seriously.
Yang Ming scratched his head and looked at the thin door panel and the fragile door lock, but he still couldn’t actually do it. There were waiters in the vicinity. Although they wouldn’t interfere at all, it was still somewhat inappropriate.
At this time, he received a call from Guo Jianchao. “Brother Yang, do you need to call the waiters to withdraw?”
Yang Ming looked at the waiters at a distance and looked at the door in front of him. It was hard to resist. He finally gritted his teeth and said seriously, “Okay, I have to rest. Have them all withdraw.”
“Okay, I will inform them. Brother Yang, call me again if you need anything,” said Guo Jianchao.
Sure enough, not long after, these waiters received a short message. After giving a salute to Yang Ming, they left the top floor.
A little while after these people left, Yang Ming carefully put his hand on the door handle of the bathroom. Just as he touched it, the door of the bathroom opened. Yang Ming was shocked. Before he could retract his hand that was extended halfway, Sun Jie and Xiao Qing walked out having changed into their pajamas. Xiao Qing didn’t care, but when Sun Jie saw Yang Ming’s hand in mid-air, she mocked, “Did you think of doing something worse than an animal? But it is useless to think about it. The door was locked from inside. Even you couldn’t pull it open.”
Yang Ming took back his hand awkwardly. He smiled and said, “Did you two finish showering?”
“Don’t you want to wash? We would give you the place.” Sun Jie said with a smile.
Yang Ming was disheartened. Did you not know that I wanted to shower with you?But it was already like this, Yang Ming had to walk into the bathroom and close the door without locking it. Thinking about it, Sun Jie and Xiao Qing wouldn’t come in. If they did come in, it would be better.
Yang Ming was injured, so he simply wiped down his body. He didn’t take a bath or use the sauna.
Walking out of the bathroom, Yang Ming shouted twice, but he didn’t see anyone. Looking upstairs, he saw a room with a ‘Do not disturb’ sign. Yang Ming smiled. Apparently, it was locked from the inside.
Yang Ming wanted to see if they had slept or not, so he used his special abilities and looked into the room. He saw that Sun Jie was kneeling by the door and watching the movement outside through the peephole. On the other hand, Xiao Qing was sitting on the edge of the bed grinning at Sun Jie’s somewhat funny actions.
Yang Ming found it funny. It seems that Sun Jie is observing me! So, Yang Ming didn’t look at the room anymore. He went into another room. Then he laid down on the bed and looked at the movement in Sun Jie’s room with his peripheral vision.
Sun Jie thought that Yang Ming would sneakily come to the door of her room so that she could scare him then, but she didn’t expect Yang Ming to enter the room next to hers!
