Chapter 590: Itâs Chinese New Year
Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
âYang Ming, why is it him again?â The Black Widow muttered to herself, âI have fought with him, and I donât think heâs that great.â
Fought? Hei Shu and Feng Dao were both stunned. Our boss fought with Yang Ming before? But thinking that Black Widowâs kung fu being super dreadful, it seemed normal to her that Yang Ming wasnât so powerful.
âJust do this. You guys investigate Wu Mingâs whereabouts and see if he is in the hands of Bao Sanli.â Black Widow said, âBut that Yang Ming, try not to confront him. Itâs best to avoid any conflicts.â
âYes!â Hei Shu and Feng Dao replied.
After the two people left, Black Widow sighed, âThis is all I can do.â
Yang Ming was very busy for the past few days. When it was two days before the Chinese New Year, Yang Ming had nothing to do. Since he was bored, he just stayed with Li Qiang and the rest every day to teach them some kung fu and training methods.
These people had a good foundation, so the progress was very fast. It can be said that they were faster than Yang Ming himself when compared to his earlier days, which made Yang Ming feel ashamed. But thinking that these people were his own apprentices, Yang Mingâs mentality was still balanced.
Yang Ming had one thing that they could never have. That was eyesight. Yang Ming could use a dagger to accurately shoot a target far away, but these people wouldnât be able to do so. Their aim was less accurate.
They were making progress; Yang Ming was making progress, too. Therefore, if they wanted to catch up with Yang Ming, it was impossible. Not to mention that Yang Ming didnât pa.s.s on all his skills to them. It wasnât because Yang Ming was being stingy, but he was still the apprentice of the King of the a.s.sa.s.sins. Without Fang Tianâs permission, it was a bit inappropriate to simply teach others everything. The most important thing was that the King of the a.s.sa.s.sins usually has only one successor.
Over this period of time, Yang Dashanâs Tianjiao Entertainment City business was still booming, but there were quite a few corresponding problems. Yang Dashan hadnât opened a similar entertainment venue before. He couldnât estimate the amount of daily food inventory, so it resulted in a large amount of waste.
Moreover, Yang Dashan was a person who wanted reputation, so there were a lot of free orders in Entertainment City every day. The seemingly hot business scene didnât make money at all. After deducting the waste and personnel expenses, it couldnât even break-even.
He thought that this situation would only last for a while, but many people were the kind who liked to take advantage of things continually. They had come back for a second time after getting a benefit. These people thought that Yang Dashan had a big business and a big house so he could cover their expenses. Yang Dashan cared about his face, so there were some things that couldnât be said. To make it sound nice, they said they were supporting him.
However, when more people were getting free orders, Yang Dashan began to complain. In the end, he could only destroy his face reputation and say that he would give a 50% discount to cover the cost price. These people were a bit unwilling immediately. Weâre all good buddies, and you still want to collect money?
However, itâs just collecting the cost price. It wasnât expensive. Instead, it was much cheaper than other places. But in contrast, some people never returned. But collecting the cost price wouldnât work either. Entertainment City had so many expenses every day. If it didnât make money, it meant they were losing money. Yang Dashan had no choice but to cancel the 50% discount policy and change it to 10%.
This time, those who had been eating there all day immediately were outraged. We are all your good friends and good buddies. My coming here to eat means Iâm giving you face! Itâs still okay when you said that you only collected the cost price, but you still want to make money? Can you even earn money from your friends? Arenât you a bit too much?
For the same price, we can go elsewhere to eat, canât we? Or elsewhere to play? Why do we have to come here? When these people got angry, more than half of them left immediately. They even said that Yang Dashan was being dishonest everywhere. He was so crazy about earning money. He even wanted to earn it from his friends. Although Bao Sanli had a lot of power in the underworld, as they say, gossip is a scary thing. Even though he was more powerful, he couldnât stop these people from talking bad occasionally!
Even the emperors from the past couldnât control what the people said, let alone Bao Sanli.
Therefore, those who felt that Yang Dashan wasnât authentic began to spread in the circle of their friends, âI tell you, you shouldnât go to Yang Dashanâs Tianjiao Entertainment CityâŠâ
âWhy? Isnât Yang Dashan familiar with you?â
âAs for why, Iâll whisper it to you. You must not tell others! Yang Dashan isnât authentic. You said that I am familiar with him. We are buddies. When Iâm eating there, itâs fine if you donât give me a free order. He can even collect the cost price. But he only gave a 10% discount, just like his other customers! Letâs not care about this kind of person who is obsessed with profit!â
As a result, everyone nodded. Yang Dashanâs Tianjiao Entertainment Cityâs reputation became worse and worse. At first, not many changes could be seen. After a long time, the business had a big difference.
This was the case with business. The more people you have, the more people will come, because people who have never been there will be thinking. This place is so popular. The shop must be so good. And so they come. But if there werenât many customers, people would think, This shop is definitely not good. Itâs best to avoid it.
Yang Dashan began to get upset, but there was no way to do it. He thought that during the new year, there would be more people treating a meal during the festival, so maybe the business would get better.
The annual festive day had finally arrived. Today was Chinese New Yearâs Eve.
Early in the morning, Yang Mingâs family took a taxi to Chen Mengyanâs home. Before that, the parents of the two families had contacted through the phone numerous times. They were very familiar with each other, so they didnât feel strange when they met.
Looking at the gifts in Yang Mingâs hands, Chen Fei slapped his head instead. âYou, kid, you even bring gifts when coming to Uncle Chenâs house?â
âIsnât this a white wine? My dad said he will drink with you tonight!â Yang Ming smiled.
âHah, okay. I didnât have time to rest at all this year. Itâs so rare that Iâm having a holiday. Today I must drink happily!â Chen Fei looked at Yang Dahai, who followed Yang Ming. âOld Yang, we have been close friends for a long time!â
âBrother⊠Chen⊠â Chen Fei was one year older than Yang Dahai, so he thought that calling him Brother Chen was more polite.
âWhat Brother Chen? I call you Old Yang; you also call me Old Chen. Thatâs all. Why so serious?â Chen Fei laughed.
âThis is sister-in-law, right? You look really young.â Mother Chen also said to Mother Yang.
Because the two families were very satisfied with their children, the atmosphere was also very harmonious. There were scenes such as sarcasm.
However, Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan didnât show any excessive intimacy but just nodded to each other. After all, the parents of both sides were there. Even if they missed each other, they couldnât go too far.
âOld Yang, sister-in-law, come inside. Mengyanâs mother and I have just woken up not long ago. We are just sticking on the couplet!â Chen Fei said, âI said that this couplet we can just simply buy, but my mother-in-law wonât let me buy it casually. She has to write her own. The old lady has many talents. So, she wrote a few more. Take it and paste it on when you go back.â
âThen please thank the old lady for me!â Yang Dashan said quickly. At Chen Mengyanâs home, Yang Dahai felt that he had gained unprecedented respect. In the factory, he was just a worker. He had to be humble in his speech with the chief. But Chen Fei was of deputy-level cadre, and he was also being very respectful to Yang Dahai!
Chen Fei and Mother Chen went to stick on the couplet; Yang Dahai and Mother Yang also followed to help. Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan were left in the living room.
âDid you miss me?â asked Yang Ming.
âNoâŠâ Chen Mengyan glanced at the adults in the kitchen and said it.
âHehe, I donât believe it.â Yang Ming smiled and put his arm over Chen Mengyanâs shoulder. This shocked Chen Mengyan.
âWhat are you doing? They are all there!â Chen Mengyanâs eyes widened.
âWhatâs wrong with that? We have seen each other parents. Why canât we be a little intimate?â Yang Ming said indifferently.
âAiya⊠let goâŠâ Chen Mengyan saw her mother coming out of the kitchen as if she was going to the bathroom to find something.
âCough cough!â Mother Chen coughed twice. Although she also knew that the current young peoples were more open, they still couldnât be cuddling in the living room, right? âYang Ming, Mengyan, you two go out and have a walk. Right, Mengyan, didnât you want to cut your hair? Let Yang Ming accompany you!â
Mother Chen already tried to make it not too obvious. Yang Ming still heard Mother Chenâs meaning, asking them to avoid being too intimate. Yang Ming couldnât help but feel a little shame. He was being careless just now. He didnât realize that Mother Chen came over.
âOkayâŠâ Chen Mengyan nodded shyly and glared at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was also a little embarra.s.sed. He smiled hollowly, and then stood up and said, âThen Auntie Chen, Mengyan and I will go out first.â
âEn, just come back at noon. Letâs do it this way instead. When lunch is ready, we will call you.â Mother Chen said.
âMom, why donât I help you with the cooking?â asked Chen Mengyan.
âForget it. Having four people in the kitchen will be a little crowded. You donât have to help.â Mother Chen shook her head and said, âYou quickly go and get a haircut. If you donât cut it today, you canât cut it later on. Your uncle is superst.i.tious. He said cutting hair during the Chinese New Year will bring bad luck!â
âWellâŠâ Chen Mengyan smiled helplessly. Her uncle was really superst.i.tious. When he went out, he would look at the almanac. Remembering last year, her auntâs child cut his hair during Chinese New Year, and then got scolded!
âI blame you!â When they left the house, Chen Mengyan complained. âCanât you be a little more honest in my house?â
âAm I not careful enough?â Yang Ming shrugged. âBut you also need to get a haircut, right?â
âThese are two different things!â Chen Mengyan glared at Yang Ming.
They came to a hair salon near Chen Mengyanâs house. Nowadays, the hair salons liked to use some strange names, such as Haircut Workshop, or Hairstyle Beauty Shop.
There were many people cutting their hair today. It seemed that Chen Mengyanâs uncle wasnât the only one who was superst.i.tious. Many people had the habit of cutting their hair on Chinese New Yearâs Eve.
âHuh? Chen Mengyan?â As soon as she entered the shop, a young man on the sofa immediately greeted her in amazement.
âLi Yixun?â Chen Mengyan was stunned, too. She looked at the young man on the sofa with astonishment. âThis is such a coincidence.â
âYeah, really. This isâŠ?â Li Yixun stood up and looked at Yang Ming, who was beside Chen Mengyan.
âHi, I am Chen Mengyanâs boyfriend, Yang Ming.â Yang Ming didnât know what the young man was doing, and he didnât know what relations.h.i.+p he had with Chen Mengyan. Therefore, Yang Ming had to declare his sovereignty first before this guy could say anything inappropriate.
âOh?â Li Yixun was shocked. He looked at Yang Ming and then looked at Chen Mengyan again. Finally, he smiled and said, âHa, hi! Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Yixun. Iâm Chen Mengyanâs junior high school cla.s.smate. We used to share the same table. Our relations.h.i.+p wasnât bad⊠Of course, donât misunderstand. Itâs just an ordinary friend relations.h.i.+p!â
âHehe, hi.â Yang Ming looked at Li Yixun suspiciously and nodded to him. Who knows whether this kid is telling the truth?
âYou are also cutting your hair here?â Chen Mengyan asked Li Yixun.
âNo, Iâm here with someoneâŠâ Li Yixun smiled bitterly and pouted in a direction not far from there.
âGirlfriend?â Chen Mengyan looked over and asked.
âIf she is then itâs good. Iâm just a pursuer currentlyâŠâ Li Yixun shook his head.
Yang Ming didnât pay attention to his girlfriend. She was far away and her back was facing them. Yang Ming didnât use his special abilities, so it wasnât very clear.
âHehe, is it? Then you have to work hard!â Chen Mengyan teased. Obviously, the relations.h.i.+p between them wasnât bad, so they were not feeling strange toward each other.
âAi⊠itâs hard to say with a sentenceâŠâ Li Yixun said helplessly.
âMister, Miss, are you getting a haircut?â A staff member came over and asked Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan.
âShe is cutting. Iâm only accompanying her.â Yang Ming pointed at Chen Mengyan and replied.
âPlease follow me. The staff member said to Chen Mengyan, âThere is an empty s.p.a.ce right there. â
âIâm going to get a haircut first. Talk to you next time.â Chen Mengyan nodded to Li Yixun and left with the staff member.
Yang Ming saw that this guy wasnât his own rival, so he dispelled his vigilance and sat beside him
âMan, youâre so bad*ss!â After Chen Mengyan left, Li Yixun immediately began to be enthusiastic with Yang Ming.
âWhy am I bad*ss?â Yang Ming was a bit puzzled.
âChen Mengyan, ah, our junior high schoolâs campus belle, you even got her as your girlfriend. You must have some special skills, right?â Li Yixun looked at Yan Ming with envious eyes and asked, âCan you teach your buddy some tricks?â
âThis⊠Iâm high school cla.s.smates with Mengyan⊠Maybe time can cultivate loveâŠâ Yang Ming was unwilling to tell his relations.h.i.+p history to others. This kind of thing belonged to his personal privacy.
âThatâs not it. When I was in junior high school, there were many people who pursued Chen Mengyan. How come their love wasnât cultivated? Brother, you must have some unique skills!â Li Yixun patted Yang Mingâs shoulder.
Yang Ming glanced at him. He thought, I am not that close with you yet. You patted my shoulder and even inquired about my personal affairs. Isnât that inappropriate?
âIn fact, it was nothingâŠâ Yang Ming didnât want to talk to him more. He just said it perfunctorily.
He didnât expect Li Yixun not to understand it. He continued to ask for advice. âBrother, you canât do this. My relations.h.i.+p with Chen Mengyan isnât bad either. Isnât her friend also your friend? Please teach your buddy some tricks!â
âItâs not that I donât want to teach you, but thereâs nothing to teach!â Yang Ming was annoyed by him. He frowned and spoke.
âNo way. Are you unwilling to teach me?â Li Yixun said, âYou can rest a.s.sured, brother. You and I are not rivals. Although Chen Mengyan is beautiful, she and I arenât suitable for each other. I wonât steal your girlfriend!â
ââŠâ Yang Ming was speechless. Why is there such a thick-faced person in the world? Am I afraid of you stealing my girlfriend? If youâre capable, then go ahead. However, Yang Ming couldnât say anything, just in case, it would pa.s.s back into Chen Mengyanâs ear.
âBrother, you canât be such a d*ck-headed person, right?â When Li Yixun saw Yang Ming not talking, he thought Yang Ming was influenced by him, so he continued, âJust teach me some tricks. I will be grateful! Donghaiâs Sea Fairy Pavilion is opened by my family. I will give you a VIP card. You can have three free orders each year!â
As Li Yixun said this, he took a VIP card from his pocket and handed it to Yang Ming.
âOh?â Yang Ming took the VIP card and looked at it. Sea Fairy Pavilion? What the f*ck is that? Yang Ming had never heard of it, but he was really annoyed by this Li Yixun, so he simply said, âI can teach you. But you have to tell me first, who are you going to pursue? Tell me the simplified details of that person. You also know that everyone is different and the method of pursuit is different, too.â
âThatâs right; thatâs rightâŠâ Li Yixun thought that the VIP card was effective, so he quickly said before Yang Ming changed his mind, âBrother, Iâll tell you. This girl that Iâm chasing, her character is a bit cold, but sheâs very cute. Her hometown isnât here. Sheâs studying at the university here. I have been pursuing her for a semester, but it hasnât been effective!â
âYou are now clinging to her all day long?â asked Yang Ming.
âYeah, I think sheâs getting annoyed at me. What can I do? But if I want to date her normally, she wonât come out either!â Li Yixun frowned.
âThis wayâŠâ Yang Ming didnât put his mind in this at all. He said casually, âIs her family rich?â
âHer family?â Li Yixun was astounded. âI donât know about this. My family has money, but I donât care if her family is rich or notâŠâ
âWho asked if you cared or not? I only asked you whether her family is rich or not⊠In other words, how much living expenses can she have in a month?â Yang Ming waved his hands.
âThis⊠probably more than a thousand yuanâŠâ Li Yixun scratched his head and guessed.
âDonât a.s.sume. How much is it? This is very important!â Yang Ming insisted.
âAh?â Li Yixun was unclear. âIt doesnât seem to matter much, right?â
âWhy not? Do you want to learn?â Yang Ming glanced. âIf you donât want to learn, then never mind.â
âI want to; I want to, brother. Donât be angry. I think her usual expenses should be around one thousand yuan!â Li Yixun said quickly.
âAround one thousand yuan, is it?â Yang Ming nodded. âThen Iâll teach you a way. Arenât you clinging to her now? I can make the situation become the exact opposite!â
âThe exact opposite?â Li Yixun said, puzzled. âWhat kind of opposite? Do you mean making her cling to me? Is this possible?â
âPossible, how can it be impossible? You do it according to the method I said. I ensure that you will be successful!â Yang Ming said.
âBrother, what useful trick do you have? Please teach your brother. â Li Yixun was overjoyed when he heard that. He asked quickly.
âThis is the case. My trick is to ask you to borrow money from her!â Yang Ming said amazingly.
âHuh?â Li Yixun opened his mouth and looked at Yang Ming in a stupid manner. After a while, he said, âI borrow money from her? My family is so rich. Why would I need to borrow money from her?â
âThere are many reasons for borrowing money, such as your family has an economic control over you, or your friendâs need to use money urgently for some illness, etc. depending on how you say it!â Yang Ming explained, âBesides when you borrow money from her, you must inquire how much monthly living expenses she has. And then you must borrow all of it at once. Donât leave any money for her!â
âAnd then howâŠâ Although Li Yixun didnât understand it, he didnât dare to question it easily. He could only ask carefully.
âAnd then? Then you disappear. Donât look for her again.â Yang Ming said decisively.
âDisappear?â Li Yixun said, âI disappear after borrowing the money? Am I becoming a liar? Then again, if I borrow all her money, how does she live?â
âYouâre really stupid. Iâm too lazy to teach you!â Yang Ming snorted.
âBrother, I admit that I am stupid. If not, I wouldnât ask youâŠâ Li Yixun said, âPlease tell me how this works okay?â
âLook, you have borrowed her living expenses. Then she must have a problem with her usual life, right?â Yang Ming asked.
âYeah, this is what I am worried about!â Li Yixun nodded.
âYou still donât understand this? Youâre really an idiot!â Yang Ming shook his head and said, âShe has no money to use. Naturally, sheâll have to go to the creditor which is you to get her money, right? If you donât look for her, this time she will take the initiative to find you. If you donât pay her back, then she will follow you all day long to ask for moneyâŠâ
âYouâre right!â Li Yixun slapped his thigh. âItâs true! But isnât this a bit too much? Itâs like Iâm behaving like a rogue?â
âHow do you get a girlfriend?â Yang Ming asked while rolling his eyes.
âThick-faced!â Li Yixun said without thinking.
âIsnât that good? Those who win are right. Wait until you have your girlfriend. Who cares what method you used to get her?â Yang Ming said disdainfully.
âYes! Yes, brother, I really admire you! This is really a good trick. Today I have learned so much. Thank you very much. When you go to Donghai someday, brother will treat you to a big meal!â Li Yixun said excitedly.
âOh, then weâll talk about it later.â Yang Ming waved his hand. The trick that he proposed was bullsh*t. It would be strange if Li Yixun succeeded. However, the situation could also be like a blind cat encountering a dead rat [1]. Yang Ming didnât expect this Li Yixun to think he was getting a treasure.
Yang Ming was full of bullsh*t. He was annoyed by Li Yixun, so he proposed such a method. Instead, Li Yixun was so excited. He was probably planning how to make a move at the moment.
âAi⊠wait for meâŠâ Li Yixun suddenly stood up and ran toward the door. It turned out that the girl he had been waiting for had already finished cutting her hair. She was prepared to pay the bill and leave. She didnât even look at Li Yixun.
Yang Ming shook his head. This Li Yixun is hopeless. Even an ordinary man and woman, their relations.h.i.+p wouldnât be so nervous, right? En, why does this girl look familiar to me?
âw.a.n.g Xiaoyan?â Yang Ming blurted out.
âYang Ming?â w.a.n.g Xiaoyan turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw Yang Ming.
âYou two⊠know each other?â Li Yixun was puzzled as he looked at w.a.n.g Xiaoyan and Yang Ming.
âIt doesnât matter to you, right?â w.a.n.g Xiaoyan didnât give Li Yixun face at all.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly instead, This little flapper! Li Yixun, arenât you too bad? You canât even get a flapper?
âThat⊠is Zhao Ying back?â Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had some misunderstandings before, so they couldnât help but feel awkward after meeting. Therefore, he changed the subject.
âNot yet⊠if thereâs nothing, I will go firstâŠâ w.a.n.g Xiaoyan looked at Yang Ming. She secretly clenched her teeth. Taking advantage of me. If it wasnât because of Zhao Ying, I would have already asked him to pay for it a long time ago. Hmph hmph, youâre lucky, kid!
âThen weâll go first, Yang Ming!â When Li Yixun saw w.a.n.g Xiaoyan leaving, he quickly chased after her. He spoke to Yang Ming while leaving, âGive my regards to Chen Mengyan for meâŠâ
âEnâŠâ Yang Ming waved his hand and thought, This annoying guy has finally left! But this guyâs taste is too bad, right? Heâs actually pursuing a flapper?
Chen Mengyan was just tr.i.m.m.i.n.g her hair. She was not getting a haircut, so it didnât take long for it to be done. She just wanted to receive the benefit from a Chinese New Year festive tradition.
Yang Ming paid the money, and Chen Mengyan didnât stop him. Their current relations.h.i.+p didnât require these things to be so clearly divided.
âLi Yixun is gone?â asked Chen Mengyan.
âYeah, he asked me to give you his regards.â Yang Ming nodded.
âWhy did you say that just now?â Chen Mengyan was dissatisfied with Yang Mingâs move before. âLi Yixun and I were junior high school students. There is no other relations.h.i.+p!â
âHeh⊠Iâm just afraid that this guy has an intention on youâŠâ Yang Ming smiled.
âCome on. Do you think Iâm that popularâŠ?â Chen Mengyan rolled her eyes at Yang Ming.
âHow are you not popular? Donât you know? Our schoolâs BBS has a campus belle ranking. Your name is on the list, too!â Yang Ming said.
âItâs all done by boring peopleâŠâ Chen Mengyan also heard this from her roommate, but she didnât care. If she paid attention, she would have found that Lin Zhiyun was also on the list.
âWhat are we doing now?â Yang Ming looked at the time. It was still early. They probably couldnât help much even if they went back now. The adults were busy cooking the food, and they didnât need Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan to help.
âI donât know. Just walk aroundâŠâ Chen Mengyan suggested. âWe havenât walked around for a while.â
âLetâs go then.â Yang Ming nodded.
Two people walked slowly while holding hands on the street. The shops on both sides were filled with the festivity of Chinese New Year and were full of lanterns. They went to each shop but not to shop. They just wanted to enjoy this sweet moment.
Not sure when it started, but the sky was filled with snow. Chen Mengyan was like a child. She was very excited to see the snowflakes falling on her scarf.
âHeh, when I was a child, I especially liked snow. When it snowed, I liked to lie on the window and look at the snow outsideâŠâ Chen Mengyan said with emotion. âI didnât expect I would have grown up in the blink of an eyeâŠâ
âYeah, youâre almost becoming someone elseâs wife⊠Your children will be like you lying on the window to look at snowflakesâŠâ Yang Ming smiled.
âStop it. What are you talking about?â Chen Mengyan said with dissatisfaction, âIâm reminiscing about my childhood, but youâre messing around.â
âJust kiddingâŠâ Yang Ming pulled up Chen Mengyanâs hand. âThen I will tell you about my childhood⊠I liked to step on the snow every time I saw snow⊠I would step in a specific sequence. After stepping them out, itâs just like the snow had been run over by a wheel. Itâs very neatâŠâ
âHehe, I had played that, tooâŠâ Chen Mengyan smiled happily⊠The two people reminisced about the interesting things of childhood from elementary school to junior high schoolâŠ
âYang Ming, do you think Su Ya⊠What is she doing now?â When talking about junior high school, Chen Mengyan couldnât help but think of Su Ya. Although it was spoiling the mood, Chen Mengyan couldnât help but ask curiously.
âI donât knowâŠâ Yang Ming sighed. He said slowly, âMaybe sheâs like us, walking in the snow with her another halfâŠâ
âIâm sorryâŠâ Chen Menyan saw that Yang Ming was a little sad. She regretted raising the question. They were very happy just now.
âItâs okay. Everybody has to get married when the time comes⊠Itâs fineâŠâ Yang Ming shook his head with a bitter smile.
Chen Mengyan also sighed a bit. It seems that Su Ya still has a place in Yang Mingâs heart. Maybe only time can change thisâŠ
Unconsciously, the two people actually went to the beach. The beach during winter was very deserted. The chilling sea breeze blew the hair of the two peopleâŠ
âSu Ya and I have been here before.â Yang Ming pointed to a reef monument not far away.
âA date?â asked Chen Mengyan.
âHehe, not really. One day after school, we had nothing to do. We wanted to go home together at first. But who knew that we didnât want to separate when we talked. Just like us today, we came here unintentionally.â Yang Ming shook his head, âHow do children know what dating is?â
âThat was a good memory, tooâŠâ Chen Mengyan wasnât jealous this time. There was no need to be jealous. Su Ya had now disappeared from Yang Mingâs life. She was just a good memory. How could Chen Mengyan be jealous of a memory?
âEnâŠâ Yang Ming nodded. âLetâs go and see. I remember that Su Ya and I engraved our names on it. Iâm not sure if it is still thereâŠâ
âAlrightâŠâ Chen Mengyan nodded, although her heart wasnât very comfortable, there was no way about it. Moreover, she was also curious. She wanted to understand Yang Mingâs past. If you love someone, you must accept all of him, right? It included his past and future.
The two people came in front of the monument. Yang Mingâs eyes were sharp. He instantly found his and Su Yaâs names among the countless names. Although the traces were already very shallow, they could still see it clearly if they looked carefully.
âRight here!â Yang Ming pointed to the name above.
âVandalismâŠâ Chen Mengyan glanced at it and thought about it. She wanted to use this sentence to vent her dissatisfaction. Yes, whoever sees the name of her lover with another girl would feel imbalanced.
âSo many people had carved on it⊠I wonât make much a difference⊠En? What do you want to do?â Yang Ming looked at Chen Mengyan in amazement and said, âDidnât you say that it was vandalism? How come youâŠâ
