âAre you still watching TV?â Yang Ming picked up the TV remote control and turned on the TV.
â Ah⊠Oh⊠Ugh. ..â There was a deafening roar from the TVâŠ
Lin Zhiyunâs face which had returned to normal turned red right away again. She glared at Yang Ming, âYou did that deliberately?â
â Ah ? I didnâtâŠâ Yang Ming quickly shook his head and denied it.
In fact, Yang Ming was really not intentional. Yang Ming was afraid that Lin Zhiyun would be awkward, so he wanted to adjust the atmosphere. Didnât she like to watch the cartoon called âSponge Bob Square Pantsâ [1]? Then letâs watch that for a while longer!
Yang Ming just forgot the channel that was set before that. Itâs this show. .. Yang Ming broke into a sweatâŠ
âSwitch it off! You still want to watch it?â Lin Zhiyun saw Yang Ming stupidly holding the remote control and didnât intend to turn off. So, she yelled at him.
Yang Ming heard Lin Zhiyunâs words and laughed a while. He began to change channels. It took a while to find a normal Taiwanese TV station. It was playing a very popular TV series âLove Stories in the Country Sideâ [2]. It was the moment where the actor, Li Daguo, pretended to be a ghost. His voice scared Lin Zhiyun.
âI say, Yang Ming, arenât you doing it deliberately? How did you find such a channelâŠâ Lin Zhiyun was scared by Li Daguo.
âWhat does this have to do with meâŠâ Yang Ming had no choice. âI have no predictive abilityâŠâ
As he said this, Yang Ming wanted to change the channel.
âDonât change it. Letâs just watch this. Itâs very interestingâŠâ Lin Zhiyun stopped him.
Yang Ming shook his head. A womanâs heart can never be understood. A moment later and she changed her mind again? Yang Ming sat next to Lin Zhiyun and watched TV with her.
Time quickly reached 9 p.m. and it was the time to sleep.
âYang MingâŠâ Lin Zhiyun was a little sleepy, but she didnât know what to say. There was just one bed. If two people slept together, it was a bit⊠Although Lin Zhiyunâs innermost feelings felt nothing, she couldnât quite get it off her chest.
Yang Ming felt funny looking at Lin Zhiyun who was yawning again and again. He knew what she wanted to say.
âSleepy? Letâs rest early. You can sleep first. I can sleep on the sofa.â Yang Ming pointed to a dilapidated single sofa in the room.
â Ah ?â Lin Zhiyun thought that this was the best solution, but when she saw the narrow and dilapidated sofa she felt somewhat reluctant. Yang Ming is helping my father to do things, but Iâm letting him sleep on the sofa. No matter what this isnât right⊠But to let him sleep on the bed with her, she couldnât say it either. So, she had to say, âWhy donât I sleep on the sofaâŠâ
âForget it.â Yang Ming shook his head. âYou are my girlfriend. How can I let you sleep on the sofa?â
Girlfriend ? Lin Zhiyun couldnât help but feel a little dizzy when listening to such sensitive words. It would be good if I was your girlfriend, then there would be no need to sleep on the sofa⊠Lin Zhiyun shook her head and didnât know if Yang Ming was joking or not.
Lin Zhiyun felt that Yang Ming seemed to be making their act real. Otherwise, who would help a fake girlfriend at home to deal with such troublesome things?
But it was impossible. Yang Mingâs girlfriend was a girl named Chen Mengyan. Lin Zhiyun had inquired through Ge Xinyao during this period. Lin Zhiyun saw her from far away before⊠She was a very beautiful girl. Very youthful, very cheerful, like a little princess.
Although Lin Zhiyun thought that she wasnât more beautiful than Chen Mengyan, they should be at least similar, right? But even if it was about the same, Lin Zhiyun lost her confidence. Yang Ming couldnât possibly like me. Lin Zhiyun kept hinting at herself to prevent herself from doing stupid things.
âThen⊠Iâll go to sleep?â Lin Zhiyun asked.
â En , you should sleep first. Let me go out and smoke a cigaretteâŠâ Yang Ming said.
âOkay, you rest early, too.â Lin Zhiyun nodded and went to bed.
Yang Ming walked out of the room and closed the door. He lit a cigarette in the hallway. After going to university, Yang Ming had also smoked fewer cigarettes. If it wasnât something troublesome, Yang Ming wouldnât smoke.
When it came to troubles, Yang Ming wasnât thinking about Mei Renyi, but about Lin Zhiyun.
Whatâs Mei Renyi to me? If I canât find him, it wonât be a big deal, just pay some money. Itâs just the matter with Lin Zhiyun. Itâs a little troublesome. Now, Yang Ming clearly felt that his relations.h.i.+p with Lin Zhiyun had been closer, especially because of the TV program and the trip together. Yang Ming could also feel that Lin Zhiyun had gradually become attached to him.
The original Lin Zhiyun wouldnât have called Yang Ming even if she had b.u.mped into problems. Now, the first person who came into Lin Zhiyunâs mind when she got into trouble was Yang Ming. Although Yang Ming was happy to see that their relations.h.i.+p was good, another problem came. The relations.h.i.+p with Lin Zhiyun is improving. What about Chen Mengyan?
It seemed that although Chen Mengyan knew of the existence of Lin Zhiyun, she would never think that Yang Ming would bring the girl back. The reason why Chen Mengyan acquiesced to Lan Ling was that Lan Ling wasnât at his side; she was still far away.
If I really bring Lin Zhiyun to the forefront, I really donât know what would happen! Lin Zhiyun isnât like Lan Ling. Lin Zhiyun is also a student of Song Jiang Industry University, and itâs possible for Chen Mengyan to meet her at any time!
According to Chen Mengyanâs character, it was still fine if she was throwing a tantrum. He was just afraid that she would do something extreme.
As he thought of this, Yang Ming had a headache. While he was still troubled by it, Yang Mingâs phone suddenly rang. Originally, he thought it was Hou Zhenhan, but he didnât expect Sun Jie to call.
âh.e.l.lo, Sun Jie, are you missing me again?â His troubles were heart-wrenching, but Yang Ming was still able to flirt happily with a beautiful girl.
âYouâre in Donghai now?â Sun Jie didnât continue the conversation, but she directly asked, âHow is it now?â
âItâs not very smooth. Iâll explain to you when I get back. Is there anything wrong?â Yang Ming still didnât want to trouble Sun Jie unless it was absolutely necessary. Although the relations.h.i.+p between the two was very special, it was precisely because of this special relations.h.i.+p that made Yang Ming feel like a kept man.
âOne of my men said that he heard some news about the person you are looking for.â Sun Jie said, âWhen are you going to meet him?â
âWhat? Found him? So fast?â Yang Ming was shocked and elated. The news of Wu Chiren was really too important for him.
âHe hasnât found the person yet. He got some news. I donât know the specifics. Let me give you the phone number of that person and you can contact him!â said Sun Jie.
âOkay, tell meâŠâ Yang Ming felt that his hands were a little trembling. He was very emotionalâŠ
âHis phone number is x.x.xx.x.xâŠâ Sun Jie said, âYou can call him Uncle Sun or Third Uncle. Just say that youâre my friend.â
âUncle Sun? Could he be a relative of your family?â Yang Ming was stunned.
âItâs my old housekeeper. Heâs very good to me. Donât worryâŠâ Sun Jie smiled and said, âHe is almost fifty years old. You wonât lose anything by calling him an uncle!â
âOkay, I understand.â Yang Ming said, âThank you, Sun Jie.â
âDidnât you say it? Why would we need to thank each other with the relations.h.i.+p we have?â Sun Jie didnât forget to tease Yang Ming.
â Hehe , is that so? Well, then when will we go to the bathroom at the Nightless Club again?â Yang Ming laughed.
âNext time? No next time! Even if there is, not in that kind of placeâŠâ Sun Jie hung up the phone with a smile.
This made Yang Ming feel overwhelmed. What did Sun Jie mean? Was she implying something?
But this chick⊠Yang Ming shook his head, Sun Jieâs character was so weird. She didnât even limit herself when joking with me. Didnât she know that this could easily cause a misunderstanding?
In fact, Yang Ming misunderstood. Sun Jie was joking with him. If it was with other people, even smiling was difficult for her, let alone joking.
Yang Ming dialed the phone number Sun Jie gave him to contact Uncle Sun. The phone was connected before it even rang twice.
âh.e.l.lo? Who are you looking for?â There was a deep voice on the other end, asking things directly.
âIs this Uncle Sun?â Yang Ming asked.
â En ? I am⊠May I ask who are you?â Sun San was stunned. In recent years, there were not many people who called him Uncle Sun. Other than Sun Jie, it was only Sun Zhiwei.
The Sun Family had two brothers. One was Sun Jieâs father, Sun Hongjun. The other was Sun Zhiweiâs father, Sun Qingjun. Sun San wasnât called Sun San originally, but because he was the Sun Familyâs butler, he changed his name to Sun San. It meant that he was third in rank.
Although Sun San was a butler, Sun Hongjun valued him very much. Sun San didnât get married for the rest of his life as he was busy with the matters of the Sun Family. Therefore, Sun Jie and Sun Zhiwei respected him.
