âZhang Bingâs product, must be a good choice!â Zhang Bing looked like he was gambling for jade.
Yang Ming didnât bother with him. He went back to his room with Lan Ling. They put up the âdo not disturbâ notice, then they lay on the bed. Yang Ming and Lan Ling were tired. They wanted to do something they liked to do, but they didnât really have the stamina, so they hugged each other and slept.
While Yang Ming was groggy, he heard a strange voice. This voice was so familiar. Lan Ling would express such a voice every day. Yang Ming opened his eyes and looked up. He realized the TV was playing adult pornography.
He wasnât sure when Lan Ling woke up. She was sitting in front of the TV and concentrating on it. Occasionally, she nodded and had a thoughtful expression.
âLan Ling, how did you switch to this channel?â Yang Ming asked curiously.
âYang Ming, is this the live-action movie you were talking about? The demonstration was much better than the book!â Lan Ling said, âWhy donât we watch together?â
âIâm not watching. I have passed the age of watching such movies.â Yang Ming sighed. He had grown up without knowing it. He still remembered all those years. Yang Ming, Xu Peng, and Li Dagang, they went to the internet cafe, video playhouse, billiard room every day. Watching AV movies was very common back then. As for now, those days seemed far away. Yang Mingâs memory became blurred.
Now, Yang Ming had a new life, new path, and Lan LingâŠ
Chen Mengyan waited in her house for a few days. She was furious that Yang Ming hadnât called her.
This Yang Ming kept on saying that he loved me. He wanted me to be his girlfriend, then why isnât there any message? When I was busy studying previously, this guy kept asking for a date. Now after the exam, we are both free, so why didnât he invite me?
Chen Mengyan felt she got treated wrongly. I only showed a slight temper on that day, but there is nothing wrong for a girl to show her temper! Chen Mengyan was a girl after all. Why canât he forgive her? How would they get along with each other in the future?
However, after a while, Chen Mengyan felt that she was wrong too. She believed Wang Zhitao rather than Yang Ming. Yeah, I trusted in Wang Zhitao and doubted Yang Ming. If I was him, I would be angry too!
With lots of courage, she made the first step. Chen Mengyan called Yang Ming again. This time she chose to call in the evening. Maybe Yang Ming was at home.
As expected, the phone got picked up after a few rings.
âHello, how are you?â According to the voice, this was probably Yang Mingâs mother.
âHi aunty, Iâm looking for Yang Ming.â Chen Mengyan was anxious. Chen Mengyan called once before when Yang Ming was âsick.â Yang Mingâs mother had picked up then too. But, they were close friends at that time, so she didnât feel anything. However, this time was different, Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming had an ambiguous relationship now. Chen Mengyan felt like an unsightly wife meeting her husbandâs parents.
âOh. You are?â Mother Yang asked.
âIâm Yang Mingâs classmate. My name is Chen Mengyan.â Chen Mengyan said.
âOh, itâs you. Yang Ming always told me about you. His improvement in academics was thanks to you!â Mother Yang became passionate once she heard the girl was Chen Mengyan.
âAunty, you have overrated me. Yang Ming is very clever. He even got better results than me most of the time!â Chen Mengyan said immediately.
âHehe, come to visit us when youâre free. Aunty will treat you nicely!â Mother Yang laughed and said.
âEn, okay, aunty. Is Yang MingâŠâ Chen Mengyan noticed that Mother Yang didnât intend to call Yang Ming, so she reminded Mother Yang.
âOh, youâre looking for Yang Ming. He went out already!â Mother Yang said, âHe went overseas!â
âWent overseas? When was it? Where did he go?â Chen Mengyan was dumbfounded.
âHe went to Yunnan with his classmate two days ago.â
âWith a classmate? Who did he go with?â Chen Mengyan asked subconsciously.
âHehe, you donât worry. Itâs a male classmate. His name is Zhang Bing.â Mother Yang smiled ambiguously. She could hear that the girl was worried about Yang Ming.
âAunty, I didnât mean itâŠâ Chen Mengyan was embarrassed. She did mean that for a moment.
âIâm just saying so. Donât mind me.â Mother Yang smiled and said, âDo you have anything to tell him? Iâll let him know when he is back.â
âNothing. Tell him that I called.â It was hard to leave a message like this, so Chen Mengyan didnât say anything.
âAlright, Iâll pass him the message!â Mother Yang said.
âOkay, aunty. I donât think I have anything else. I think I should hang up the phone now?â Chen Mengyan said carefully.
âEn, come to visit when you have time!â Mother Yang reminded her again.
âAlright, I will.â Chen Mengyan felt relieved after the phone hung up. But she was pissed off at the same time. This Yang Ming! He didnât even tell me that he went on a trip! He had to make me worried over these past few days!
Chen Mengyan was relieved to know that Yang Ming wasnât in town. She thought Yang Ming would contact her after he got back, and then they could do something naughty.
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ
Yang Ming watched the channel that Lan Ling was watching. It was a closed circuit television channel. Yang Ming was relieved when he thought of the nature of his room. Many hotels provided adult pornography for couples rooms. Because it got viewed privately and this was an implicit rule of the hotel, people usually wouldnât report it, and the hotel management wouldnât come and check deliberately.
âYang Ming, why donât we try it now? I learned some new moves.â Lan Ling said with cheer, âDo you want to try!â
âOkayâŠâ Yang Ming couldnât defend himself from Lan Lingâs temptation.
âWhat are you doing?â When Yang Ming saw Lan Ling put her head on his lower body part, he asked immediately.
âThe woman in the movie was doing the same!â As Lan Ling said this, she swallowed Little Yang Ming in her mouthâŠ
âSiâŠâ This little fairy! Yang Ming even doubted if he would die of sperm exhaustion.
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ
Around 6 p.m., Zhang Jiefang returned. He called Yang Ming to eat dinner. Tonight Wu Facai didnât plan anything. All in all, he couldnât spend all his time with one customer only. He still had other customers.
When Yang Ming came to Zhang Bingâs room, Zhang Bing was holding his polished stone in an enraptured fashion as he spoke with Zhang Jiefang.
âHow to differentiate the quality of jade? There are six criteria which are: âColor, transparency, uniformity, shape, density, and clarityâŠâ Zhang Bing repeated the things that Yang Ming told him in the afternoon.
âGreat job, son!â Zhang Jiefang was delighted to hear that. âI didnât expect you to know so much, but you did! Although you bet on jades that werenât good stuff, dad is happy about it too! If you put some effort into our family business, let alone buying a car for you, I would even buy you a house near school!â
âHehe, I learned it from Yang Ming in the afternoonâŠâ Zhang Bing felt guilty He plagiarised from Yang Ming after all.
âOh?â Zhang Jiefang looked surprisingly at Yang Ming who had just gone in. âYang Ming, it seems like youâre interested in jade stones as well?â
âYes, Uncle Zhang, I want to gamble a few jades to earn some money for tuition.â Yang Ming laughed and nodded his head.
âGambling jade isnât a problem, but it canât be used to pay for tuition. This business is solely dependent on luck. Like the businessman today, he got an imperial jade so easily, but the chances are still slim.â Zhang Jiefang said, âYou can do it as a hobby, but earning enough to pay tuition is a little bit difficult.â
âI understand that too, so I didnât plan to do it frequently. Iâm prepared to gamble a few thousand yuan only on stone.â Yang Ming said. It wasnât because of Yang Mingâs lack of money for more stone, but the good items in Wu Facaiâs stock were limited. So spending more wouldnât help earn more.
âRight, if you donât understand anything just ask me!â Zhang Jiefang didnât mind at all, but he was curious how Yang Ming knew so much about jade all of a sudden. âWhere did you get to know this?â
âHai! I just learned from the book blindly! Zhang Bing, whereâs the book?â Yang Ming asked.
Zhang Bing immediately picked up the on the bed, then passed it to his father.
Zhang Jiefang looked at a few pages with interest. âNot bad, this is very basic. Youâre quite good at choosing this book. This book entirely suits a beginner like you.â
âUncle Zhang, please excuse me. I didnât know about it. I just got lucky that I met an old man who understands this field well, and he suggested it to me!â Yang Ming said laughingly.
âIs that so? It looks like the person is an expert too.â Zhang Jiefang nodded his head.
Yang Ming suddenly remembered that Zhan Jiefang was involved with this field. He might have heard of old man Liu. Hence, he hopefully asked, âUncle Zhang, have you heard of Liu Weishan?â
