âRight, Little w.a.n.g. What happened to your sister?â Fang Tian asked w.a.n.g Songshan at the private dinner of the b.u.t.terfly Family.
âShe has been married for a long time. Did you expect her to stay a widow for you?â w.a.n.g Songshan rolled his eyes at Fang Tian.
âOf course not. Iâm glad that sheâs married now. Or else, wouldnât I be causing harm to her?â Fang Tian shook his head and replied.
âMy sister is married to someone whoâs much better than you. He is the heir of the Hutus Family.â w.a.n.g Songshan said.
âI donât care who he is. It has nothing to do with me.â Fang Tian said with a grin.
âLittle Fang, I have heard that you entered the detention hall. What happened to you? With your skill, it shouldnât be a challenge to escape from the detention hall, right?â w.a.n.g Songshan asked curiously.
âI stayed on purpose. I was watching someone.â Fang Tian said plainly.
âWatching someone? Watching who?â w.a.n.g Songshan asked curiously.
âYou donât know him. Heâs a person who plots conspiracy.â Fang Tian said.
âLittle Fang, since when did you start to play with these deep tactics?â w.a.n.g Songshan said sarcastically.
â Hehe , we are already not young. Do you behave like this in front of others?â Fang Tian laughed.
âOf course not.â w.a.n.g Songshan also laughed. âWhen I saw you, I remembered the things we did when we both were younger. I really miss it!â
âYeah, forty years have pa.s.sed in an instant. We are both old now.â Fang Tian nodded and agreed.
âHow long do you plan to stay here?â asked w.a.n.g Songshan.
âNot sure. It depends on the whereabouts of that person.â Fang Tian said.
âThe one who sent you to the detention hall?â w.a.n.g Songshan asked, âWasnât that person shot to death already?â
âHe wasnât the master behind the scenes. There are others behind the scenes.â Fang Tian said.
âWho is it?â asked w.a.n.g Songshan.
âIâm not sure.â Fang Tian shook his head. âSo, Iâm still watching.â
âWhatever you want then. If you need help, just say it.â w.a.n.g Songshan nodded and said.
âLetâs not talk about this. Come. Letâs have a drink.â Fang Tian raised the gla.s.s of wine and the two people said cheers togetherâŚ
When Yang Ming returned to the dormitory, it was already very late at night. When he first entered the dorm, Tian Donghua greeted him immediately. He said lewdly, âYang Ming, you just had a beauty looking for you. It seemed like the relations.h.i.+p between her and you was pretty unusual!â
âBeauty?â Yang Ming was stunned.
âDonât listen to him b llsh t. It was Teacher Zhao Ying who came looking for you.â Zhang Bing said, âShe seemed to be looking for you for something. She noticed you werenât here, so she left her phone number and asked you to call her back.â
âZhao Ying?â Yang Ming felt excited after listening to it. He was planning to find Zhao Ying earlier, so he quickly asked, âWhereâs the phone number?â
âHere.â Zhang Bing handed Yang Ming a note.
Yang Ming took a look at it. It was indeed Zhao Yingâs handwriting. That graceful script was something that Yang Ming was very familiar with. There were countless times of after-school tutoring where Zhao Ying used this script to give him corrections.
Looking at the note in front of him, Yang Ming felt rather emotional. He nodded to Zhang Bing, got up and returned to his room.
âWhat happened to him?â Tian Donghua asked, puzzled.
âWhat do we know about true love in this world? Zhao Ying was the math teacher of our high school⌠She and Yang MingâŚâ Zhang Bing shook his head when he said it.
âF*ck! Really? A teacher? Yang Ming was that strong that even the teacher fell for him?â Tian Donghua looked impressed.
Yang Ming tried hard to calm his feelings down. Then, he dialed the number on the note with his cell phone. The phone call was connected after two rings. A familiar voice came on the other side of the phone. âHi⌠h.e.l.lo?â
âSister Ying, I am Yang Ming.â Yang Ming took a deep breath and spoke. But he could feel that his heart was pounding rapidly, and his hand which was holding the phone was shaking uncontrollably.
âYang Ming? You are back?â Zhao Ying heard Yang Mingâs voice and said with some surprise.
âYeah, I just came back. Zhang Bing told me that you looked for me,â replied Yang Ming.
â En , I went to find you⌠Oh ya. Did you know that I am now a postgraduate student at Song Jiang Industry UniversityâŚ?â Zhao Ying said.
âI know. I went to see Teacher Li the other day and she told me that.â Yang Ming nodded and said. Yang Ming didnât know why, but suddenly he and Zhao Ying had a strange distant feeling. Was it because we havenât contacted each other for a long time? Or, am I consciously avoiding something? Or is this just my own illusion?
âAre you free tomorrow? Letâs meet.â Zhao Ying asked.
âZhao Ying, howâs Jin Gang?â After repressing it for a long while in his heart, Yang Ming had finally asked this question. Yes, ever since seeing Zhao Ying and Jin Gang walking together on the street, Yang Mingâs heart felt like it had a big rock suffocating him.
Yes, itâs Jin Gang! Yang Ming understood it. The gap in the relations.h.i.+p between him and Zhao Ying was because of Jin Gang!
âJin Gang? Heâs probably still teaching at school.â Zhao Ying wondered why Yang Ming would ask about Jin Gang. âHow come you suddenly mentioned him?â
âSister Ying, arenât you together with Jin Gang?â Yang Ming also felt a bit strange listening to Zhao Yingâs words, as if she had nothing to do with Jin Gang.
âTogether with him? In the first place, I really dislike him. How can I be with him?â Zhao Ying didnât know whether to laugh or cry after listening to him.
âThen the last time on the business street, you and heâŚâ Yang Ming asked hesitantly.
âYou were referring to that? The school sent us to book the school uniforms for our new studentsâŚâ Zhao Yingâs felt warm in her heart. It seemed that Yang Ming still cared about me because he is jealous! Heâs jealous of Jin Gang!
However, Zhao Ying became sad after that. So what if Yang Ming cared about me? Now, with Chen Mengyan before me, even if Yang Ming cared about me, Yang Ming canât give up Chen Mengyan to be with me anyway.
â Ah ! Thatâs the caseâŚâ Yang Ming sighed with relief. The depressed feeling in his heart had disappeared instantly.
âSo what do you want?â After a few words between the two, they seemed to have recovered the feeling of bickering in the past without that sense of unfamiliarity.
âSister Ying, I want to see you.â Yang Ming suddenly said after a quick hesitation.
âSee me? Now?â Zhao Ying was stunned.
âYes, now.â Yang Ming said resolutely. The pining feeling in Yang Mingâs heart burst out in an instant.
âItâs quite late already. I was about to sleepâŚâ Zhao Ying said.
âLast time at this hour, wouldnât we be studying together often?â asked Yang Ming.
âAlright, where do we meet?â Zhao Ying sighed. She really did miss Yang Ming too. In fact, the reason she applied for the postgraduate study was entirely Yang Ming!
However, before this, she thought that things were simple. Only after she met Chen Mengyan did she realize how complicated things were! Three women had appeared at Yang Mingâs side already!
âIâm in my dorm. Where are you?â asked Yang Ming.
âLetâs do this. Wait for me at the storeâs entrance in front of the dormitory.â Zhao Ying said.
After ten minutes, Yang Ming saw Zhao Ying at the entrance of the store not far from the dormitory. Zhao Ying was still so pure and beautiful. Compared to the original s.e.xiness, now that Zhao Ying had more of a studentâs vibe, she looked vibrant.
âSister Ying!â Yang Ming hurriedly greeted her.
âYang Ming, you look mature now.â Zhao Ying looked up and down at Yang Ming. After a while, only then did she mutter, âYou grew up.â
âSister Ying, I missed you.â Yang Ming said bluntly.
âWell, I missed you, too. Do you still remember your sister as a younger brother?â Zhao Ying deliberately positioned the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them as brother and sister.
âOf course, I have never forgotten you!â Yang Ming handed over a paper bag and said, âThis is for you, Sister Ying. This is a set of jewelry I bought from Hong Kong.â
Yang Mingâs was indifferent toward being addressed as a brother. So what if itâs sister? With Xiao Qingâs anecdote of f*ck sister, Yang Ming felt that it was better to have a sister instead.
âYou only know how to waste money.â Zhao Ying smiled and took Yang Mingâs gift. âHow is college life?â
âYes, itâs much easier than in high school. There was nothing much to do in a day.â Yang Ming nodded and said, âSister Ying, how come you thought about studying postgraduate here? Wasnât it good to be a teacher in high school?â
âHehe, if I said that I didnât feel a.s.sured that you, my younger brother, would be fine, so I followed you, would you believe it or not?â Zhao Ying deliberately said it as a joke.
âOf course.â Yang Ming nodded. He suddenly turned around again and stared at Zhao Yingâs eyes as he asked, âSister Ying, tell me the truth. Did you really do it for me?â
Zhao Ying was somewhat moved by Yang Mingâs stare. She shook her head and swallowed the word âyesâ that was about to come out. She smiled and said, âI was just kidding with you. You actually took it seriously. I felt that I should learn more while I am still young!â
â Hehe .â Yang Ming laughed. It seemed like I had misunderstood it.
