Chapter 1056: On the Eve before School Started

“It is better to be safe than sorry…” said Yang Ming helplessly. “Don’t say anything else. Just talk about the film, ‘ The Days Without Lei Feng 1 ‘ that was broadcasted on TV. The driver, who accidentally was reversing his car, hit the telephone pole. Then the telephone pole dropped on top of Lei Feng and killed him. After the driver changed his job, he saved one person while he was driving, but he was pestered by the old man’s child. What was even more frustrating was that the old man’s child actually said that if he even dared to crash into Lei Feng, who else dare he not hit… He really had a difficulty, but he couldn’t explain it…”
Zhou Jiajia nodded silently. She didn’t know if she should get off the car. As she was hesitating, she saw a girl walking quickly toward the old woman.
“Song Yu?” Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia recognized the girl at the same time; the girl was a college classmate of Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia. Song Yu was Yang Ming’s class monitor. She also participated in public welfare activities like the propaganda of civilization with Yang Ming.
“She is going to help the old woman…” Zhou Jiajia sighed. She said embarrassedly, “I am also the class monitor, but she…”
“You don’t have to blame yourself. If I didn’t say a few more words, it’s you who would be helping others now!” comforted Yang Ming.
” Yeah , I suddenly remember after being reminding by you. I have to quickly use the mobile phone to record the process of Song Yu saving the old woman. You are right. It is better to be safe than sorry. In case the old woman wants to trouble Song Yu, I can also provide evidence!” As Zhou Jiajia spoke, she took out her phone and ran out of the car.
Yang Ming nodded secretly listening to Zhou Jiajia’s words. This girl is not simple; she knows to keep evidence for everything. When Chen Fei asked her to help investigate Wang Xifan’s case, he did not choose the wrong person!
Today’s mobile phones were equipped with a camera function, which could easily be several megapixels. Although it was different from professional camera equipment, it was more than enough to record some ordinary videos.
Zhou Jiajia switched the phone to the camera function, then stood by the side. Zhou Jiajia recorded the whole process of Song Yu running over and saving the old woman.
If the old woman really wanted to frame Song Yu in the future, then with this video, they wouldn’t be able to wrong Song Yu. So after listening to Yang Ming’s words, just in case, Zhou Jiajia completely recorded the proceedings until the old woman said thank you. Then Song Yu helped her to get a taxi, and she disappeared from their vision.
Zhou Jiajia got in the car and stored the video inside the phone. She said, “I saw the old woman even say thank you to Song Yu. She shouldn’t be that kind of person, right?”
“With human nature, it is hard to say.” Yang Ming waved his hand.
This interlude was just over like that. They didn’t care much. After the old woman left, the road became smooth, and soon they went to the Hua Shang District where Yang Ming lived.
……
Zhao Ying did not know how she took the bath. She wiped the water drops on her body and put on the pajamas in a daze. She walked out of the bathroom and stood on the stairs. The cold air outside woke her up.
Everything was just her own guess. Zhao Ying had no evidence. Moreover, the condoms weren’t necessarily used to do that. Zhao Ying once read an IT magazine saying that condoms could be used to repair the computer’s CD-ROM drive as a substitute for the belt.
Of course, the possibility was very small. Zhao Ying knew that Wang Xiaoyan wasn’t a computer expert. It was impossible for her to repair a CD-ROM drive. Perhaps there could be other purposes…
Zhao Ying wasn’t willing to think about it, and she didn’t dare to think about it. She needed to be calm. Absolutely calm! She needed to re-examine her attitude toward Yang Ming. Are these things really important to me?
Even if Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan are really together, will they affect me? Zhao Ying should think carefully. She needed to find time to consider it seriously. But now, she had to pretend as if nothing happened.
She didn’t want to question Wang Xiaoyan, and it wasn’t necessary. Wang Xiaoyan had her reason not to tell her. Zhao Ying didn’t want to make the sisterly relationship between the two people too awkward, so it was better to act dumb right now.
Going downstairs, Zhao Ying tried to make her expression look natural. However, Wang Xiaoyan still found that Zhao Ying’s smile was somewhat unnatural. “Sister Ying, what’s wrong with you? How come your smile is so strange?”
Wang Xiaoyan didn’t think much about it. She just thought that Zhao Ying’s smile was weird. It was more like she had a conspiracy.
“Nothing. Maybe I bathed for too long, and the facial muscles are somewhat stiff.” Zhao Ying shook her head, smiled, and said.
” Oh , you bathed for a long time indeed.” Wang Xiaoyan stretched out on the sofa and said, “I was falling asleep. Sister Ying, you should stay here tonight. We haven’t had pillow talk for a long time…”
” Ah …” Zhao Ying was shocked and refused immediately. “I will pass for tonight. Your classes start tomorrow. You should prepare for it. Besides, I still have a dissertation to write…”
Zhao Ying was afraid that if she stayed with Wang Xiaoyan for too long, she would show flaws. At least, not today. She needed to go home and adjust her emotions.
“I don’t have anything to prepare. Moreover, tomorrow I just have to mark my attendance and get new books. There is nothing special.” Wang Xiaoyan said, “Your dissertation can also be written here!”
“No… the information is at home. It’s too much trouble to get it here… Next time!” Zhao Ying hurriedly waved her hand. “Then I will go back, Yanyan.”
“Going back so soon?” Wang Xiaoyan was somewhat inexplicable. “Sister Ying, your hair is still not dry. You might catch a cold going out like that.”
“It’s okay, my house is close. I can reach home very soon.” Zhao Ying was flustered and waved her hand to Wang Xiaoyan, then she quickly walked out the door.
“Wait, Sister Ying, I will walk you…” Wang Xiaoyan got up from the sofa and put on her slippers, but she saw that Zhao Ying had already opened the door…
Wang Xiaoyan was baffled. Why was Zhao Ying so anxious? She shook her head and closed the door; then she went upstairs. She was already sleepy, so Wang Xiaoyan planned to get some good sleep.
These days, when Yang Ming was here, she was tossed around for a few nights. Wang Xiaoyan was a person who refused to admit defeat. Although she couldn’t stand it, she still endured it.
Lying in bed, she fell asleep in a daze. Then, she forgot about Zhao Ying’s things.
When Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia went back to the villa, Aunty Li was wiping the floor. When she saw Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia coming back, she rushed over. Previously, after Chen Mengyan went home, Yang Ming did not return to the villa and lived with Wang Xiaoyan, so he had not been there for several days.
Zhou Jiajia went upstairs to prepare for the school tomorrow, and Aunty Li called Yang Ming.
“What’s the matter, Aunty Li?” asked Yang Ming.
“This is the case…” Aunty Li told Yang Ming about Zhao Ying’s strange action waiting a whole night for him. Although Aunty Li didn’t know what Zhao Ying was looking for, she wanted to call Yang Ming, but Zhao Ying refused. However, she described the whole incident to Yang Ming when she saw him.
Yang Ming had already learned about Zhao Ying’s matter from Wang Xiaoyan. He didn’t expect Zhao Ying to wait here for an entire night! Yang Ming regretted it. No wonder Zhao Ying didn’t contact him these days. I thought that after the memory tree was given, it elicited no response. I didn’t expect Zhao Ying to come to find myself, and I had missed her!
Moreover, it also hurt Zhao Ying’s heart! Thinking of this, Yang Ming was a little ashamed. It seems that I really have to restrain myself a little in the future. Now, Zhao Ying is already angry with me. It seems I need to look for time to guide her.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaoyan had explained to Zhao Ying that I am just Wang Xiaoyan’s fake boyfriend, not the true boyfriend. I hope Zhao Ying will believe this reason.
It is not that Yang Ming was not willing to tell Zhao Ying about himself and Wang Xiaoyan, but the relationship between himself and Wang Xiaoyan was somewhat complicated. It could not be made clear in a few words, and this relationship should not be promoted. If it were passed to Chen Mengyan’s ear, then it would be another war. With Wang Xiaoyan’s temper, would it be a loss? Maybe something will happen!
“I got it, Aunty Li. Don’t mention it to anyone else.” Yang Ming informed. Yang Ming was afraid that if the other girls heard it, it would cause more trouble.
“Okay, Mr. Yang. I understand.” Aunty Li nodded. She also knew that the owner of this family was Yang Ming. She was just a nanny, so she naturally had to answer to Yang Ming. In fact, she waited for Zhou Jiajia to go upstairs before telling Yang Ming about Zhao Ying’s incident. For this reason, Aunty Li did a good job at this point. She was a competent nanny.
Although Zhou Jiajia decided to stay in Yang Ming’s house, she must leave some clothes in the dormitory at school. This was just a place to stay during weekends. Most of her time would still be spent in the dormitory.
Yang Ming was the same too. It was impossible to live here every day. It was okay to come here to be intimate with Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun. But if they cohabitated, his parents wouldn’t agree with it.
However, Yang Ming’s dormitory was a kind of luxury apartment. They had everything there, and he didn’t have to worry about forgetting something after the holidays, so the daily necessities were all prepared. Yang Ming didn’t need to bring anything.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was time for dinner. Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia ate dinner with only the two of them. It was very warm. Zhou Jiajia also slowly adapted to this life. However, it was somewhat disappointing. “In the future, we would have little chance to be alone with each other, right?”
“Why?” Yang Ming laughed after listening, “The university life is four years. Both of us will be at the same desk. You have a bigger advantage than Chen Mengyan. At that time, the others will be jealous of you!”
Zhou Jiajia thought the same too. Indeed, I am at the same desk every day with Yang Ming. I am really looking forward to it!
