629 She Wasnât Hurt, She Was Missed
At the night market at the end of Zhengyang Street, Lin Yi carried the bag of money as he brought the two women around.
Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan had a special fondness for food.
Along the way, neither of them stopped talking for even a moment. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSenior Sister, I feel that the night market here is much bigger than the one in Yanjing.â He Yuanyuan said.
!!
âThe night market at the east gate of our school has so few things. It canât even compare to this.â
âThatâs why weâve visited this place a few times,â Ji Qingyan said with a smile.
âI know Iâm a third wheel, but can you guys stop flaunting your affection?â He Yuanyuan said.
âI wouldnât be here today if it werenât for the fact that someone was treating me.â
âIf you hadnât come, you wouldnât have been able to eat such delicious food.â
âYouâre right. I havenât been to the night market for a long time. This is much better than the stuff sold at the east gate.â He Yuanyuan complained.
âBoth markets sell snacks, but why is the difference between the two so big?â
âItâs only natural.â Lin Yi said.
âThatâs Yan University, not an ordinary school, so there arenât any fancy things around it. Itâs already pretty good that thereâs even a night market that we can stroll around.â
âBut the students of Yan University are human too. They have to eat as well.â
âYou people donât know how to live,â Lin Yi said.
âYan University is full of top students. Who would have the time to go strolling around?â
âIf you donât believe me, you can look at this. When it comes to a school like Fudan University, there isnât even a small hotel in the vicinity. Now, look at this university town. There are various hotels available from between 20 and 2,000 yuan. Every festive season, there will be scalpers reselling the hotel rooms at a higher price, but you will have no choice but to accept it.â
âWell, that seems to make sense.â
âBoss, youâre so smart. Why did you only study in Zhonghai Technology? Even if you didnât go to Tsinghua University, you should at least be able to get into a 985 university.â He Yuanyuan said,
âIs it because you fell in love at a young age and didnât focus on your studies?â
Ji Qingyan pricked up her ears and waited for Lin Yiâs answer seriously.
âLove my *ss. I was still a pure boy back then,â Lin Yi said.
âAt that time, there were too many children in the orphanage and funds were tight. I didnât have time to focus on my studies when I was in my third year of high school, so I didnât learn enough. It is that simple.â
âAuntie is really amazing. She supported the orphanage for so long.â
In the past, Lin Yi did many things that He Yuanyuan could not understand.
Now that they had interacted more, she slowly understood the latter.
The three of them continued shopping and walked out of the snack street to the place where daily necessities were sold.
âSenior Sister, there are stockings and cartoon underwear up ahead. Do you want to take a look?â
âIâd prefer not to buy clothing here. The quality doesnât feel too good.â
âItâs useful precisely because the quality is not good.â He Yuanyuan said.
âIf you buy good quality goods, you wonât be able to tear them apart for a long time no matter how hard you try. This will only delay your fun.â
Ji Qingyan blushed. âWhat nonsense are you spouting? Canât you shut up and eat your food.â
He Yuanyuan chuckled. Her senior sisterâs shy expression was really pleasing to the eye.
It was getting late. The three of them strolled around for a while before preparing to go back.
âHuh? The car in front looks familiar.â
Following Lin Yiâs gaze, Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan saw a white Alfa parked by the roadside.
This kind of car was not expensive. After the add-ons, it was only more than a million yuan. However, the people who bought this kind of car could be described as high-class.
âDo you know that car?â Ji Qingyan asked casually.
âI think itâs Old Qinâs car. Why is that sl*t here?â
âLetâs go over and take a look.â
The three of them walked over. Lin Yi looked at the car plate and realized that it was indeed Qin Hanâs car. He took out his phone and was about to call him.
However, just as he took out the phone, he heard someone shouting behind him.
âWhat are you looking at? Step further away.â
Lin Yi saw that the person who spoke was a young man with gray hair.
He was dressed very fashionably in a loose sweater and canvas pants, with a silver necklace hanging around his neck.
âI know the owner, canât I look at it?â Lin Yi smiled.
âStop talking nonsense. This is Young Master Qinâs car. How could you know him?â
âWei Chi, what the fuck are you doing?â
Lin Yi was about to speak when he heard Qin Hanâs voice.
Coincidentally, Lin Yi saw him walking out of a hotpot restaurant with a woman clinging to his hand and Gao Zongyuan next to him.
âBrother Qin, this person surrounded your car and looked at it furtively for a long time. He even bragged that he knew you. I was about to chase him away.â
âYou idiot, get lost. Heâs Lin Yi. Do you doubt the fact that knows me?â
âF*ck, this person is Brother Lin?â
The gray-haired young man looked at Lin Yi in disbelief.
Because he often hung out with Qin Han and the others, he had heard of Lin Yiâs name. He had only heard of him before, but he didnât expect to see him in person today.
âBrother Lin, Iâm really sorry. I was blind and didnât recognize you. Donât hold it against me.â
âItâs okay, you didnât do it on purpose,â Lin Yi said.
Seeing the gray-haired guy apologize, He Yuanyuan realized that her boss had a firm foothold in the circle of rich second-generation heirs in Zhonghai. No matter where he went, people would call him Brother Lin.
Senior Sister would be Big Brotherâs woman from now on.
He Yuanyuan sighed. âThat is my dream!
âWhy didnât I become Big Brotherâs woman? Instead, I became more and more like Big Brother.
âSighâ¦â
âOld Lin, whatâs going on? Why are you here?â Qin Han asked.
âI opened a shop here, and the two of them came over to help out. After closing the shop for the day, I had nothing to do, so I came here to look around. I didnât expect to bump into you.â
âF*ck, no way, Brother Lin? You opened a shop here?â Gao Zongyuan was surprised.
âJust to experience life. Otherwise, Iâd feel stuck.â
âBrother Lin, why didnât you say so earlier? You didnât even give us a chance to support you,â Gao Zongyuan said.
âItâs just a small shop. I opened it for fun. 89 Zhengyang Street. Youâre welcome to visit anytime.â
âDone!â
âThen letâs stop chatting and go to Metropolis. We havenât had a drink together for a long time,â Qin Han said.
âSomeone like me who now has a family and a job has to basically say goodbye to that kind of place. The two of you can go ahead.â
Gao Zongyuan glanced at He Yuanyuan. âBrother Lin, itâs important to relax. Sister-in-Law is here too. Letâs go take a look together.â
âI feel like youâre up to no good.â
Ji Qingyan covered her mouth and chuckled. She understood what Lin Yi meant.
Gao Zongyuan seemed to have taken a fancy toward Yuanyuan.
âLetâs forget about Metropolis. Iâll book a table for another day. Itâs a little late today.â
âThatâs fine. Metropolis is indeed not a place to chat.â Gao Zongyuan said with a smile.
After talking for a while, the two groups parted ways.
âDonât be like a quail, express your opinion,â Lin Yi said to He Yuanyuan on the way back to the store.
âIâm not as tall as Senior Sister, but Iâm not short either. I donât look like a quail,â He Yuanyuan said.
âThe last time we were at the company meeting, Old Gao kept glancing at you. He seems to be interested in you. What do you think?â Lin Yi said.
âAlthough heâs a little flashy, his character is not bad. If you donât like him, Elder Liangâs character is also not bad. Just tell me who you like. Iâll help set you up.â
âNo, Iâll do this myself. I have to find my own Prince Charming.â
âYouâre not interested in Old Qi, are you?â Lin Yi asked.
âYou two work overtime in the office every day. Did sparks start to fly? Donât set my Lingyun Building on fire.â
âHow is that possible? Brother Qi and I are serious colleagues. Donât spout nonsense,â He Yuanyuan said.
âNow, Brother Qi has an ambiguous relationship with the vice president of one of the departments. If Brother Qiâs marriage opportunity is ruined because of you, youâll become an eternal sinner.â
âF*ck, no way. Old Qi actually has an office romance. You really canât judge a book by its cover.â
âThis is called a crooked stick. When you were dating Senior Sister, werenât you also an employee of Chaoyang Group?â
âDonât be ridiculous. I only started dating her after I left.â
She rolled her eyes. âCanât the two of you be more normal?â
âOkay, okay, okay. Stop talking.â
Once they reached the entrance of the store, the three of them got into their cars.
Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan returned to Jiuzhou Pavilion, and He Yuanyuan returned home.
âWhy do I feel like thereâs something wrong with He Yuanyuan?â Lin Yi sat on the sofa.
âI thought that a girl like her would be very concerned about finding a partner. I didnât expect her to be so resistant.â
âYou donât understand Yuanyuan. There are many things about her that you donât know,â said Ji Qingyan.
âWhat happened to her? Did she get hurt by a scumbag?â
Lin Yi felt that this was possible because she always said that he was a scumbag.
âShe wasnât hurt, she was missed.â
