A manifestation of high self-esteem is always trying to compare oneself with others, not accepting failure. Just now, when Yu Minglang proposed to chase after the uncle together, it was actually a kind gesture, but it touched the uncleâs high self-esteem, so he reacted so intensely.
âSo is Zhiming a low self-esteem person? I heard him say several times just now that he doesnât do anything well.â Ming Langâs comprehension is high, Xiao Qian explains one thing, and he immediately thinks of another.
Xiao Qian nods.
âThatâs right, Zhiming is a typical low-self-esteem person. He doesnât trust his own abilities and lacks confidence, often comparing himself unfavorably to others. However, I donât understand why a low-self-esteem person would have such a reaction just now.â
Xiao Qian thought about Zhimingâs hateful look when he left just now, and it felt strange in her heart.
âI heard him mention his dead brotherâs name. Maybe his parents compared the two brothers since they were young, and he often relied on his brotherâs care. After his brother died, he has been bullied, which led to his low self-esteem situation.â
Yu Minglangâs words made Xiao Qian nod her head in agreement, and she thought that must be the case.
After returning, the two washed up and were about to decide where to go next when a man came running into the farmhouse courtyard.
âWhich one of you is Yu Minglang?â
âI am.â
âSomeone just called and asked me to find you, saying Uncle Liu called you home for dinner and told me to charge you 5 yuan for the ride!â
Thereâs no cell phone signal in the mountains, but there is a telephone at the foot of the mountain in the scenic area. If someone wants to make a call, they have to take a car up to deliver the message, which is charged.
Yu Minglang frowns. This is a coded message. Uncle Liu wants him to return to the company.
One cannot show off wealth when outside, so there is no need to make it explicit; otherwise, it would be unsafe.
After paying the messenger, Yu Minglang looked at Xiao Qian with an expression that seemed to have a lot to say but didnât know where to start.
âWhat are you looking at? Pack up and go back!â
âQian Baoâ¦â
âDonât say it, the more you say it, the more upset I get. Letâs go, letâs go!â
At this moment, Yu Minglangâs heart must be more stifled than Xiao Qianâs. His proposed goal has not been achieved, and he has not helped Xiao Qian to overcome her pre-marriage phobia. He has not spent the promised half-month leave with her, and Qianbao has been very unhappy.
On the way back, the two remained silent.
When they arrived in the city, Yu Minglang saw the car waiting to pick him up at the agreed spot, and Xiao Qian moved to the driverâs seat, looking calm and composed.
Yu Minglang stood outside the car, worriedly giving instructions to Xiao Qian.
âYou donât have to go to work for these two days, itâs not safe yet.â
âYeah, Iâll see how it goes.â
Yu Minglang was not at ease listening to her indifferent tone.
âAre you mad at me?â
âNo.â
âThen Iâll go first.â
Xiao Qian couldnât help but call out to him as she watched his retreating figure.
âXiao Qiang!â
Yu Minglang turned around, looking at her with a questioning gaze.
âIf you can endure my psychological issue, I can understand your work. Donât worry, go on, and come back whenever you have time. Iâll be waiting for you.â
Yu Minglangâs mouth curled up slightly, and his anxious mood instantly soared.
So in the car, Uncle Liu, who was waiting to pick up Minglang, saw a scene that hurt the hearts of single people.
Yu Minglang reached out and blew a big kiss to Xiao Qian, also making a heart gesture.
When he happily opened the car door and got in, he saw Uncle Liu sitting in the back row and immediately felt the cold air coming from him.
âUncle, did Auntie Liu scratch you again? Why is your face so sour?â
âIâm disgusted by you, can you pay attention to your image? Kissing and all in public, itâs damaging a manâs dignity.â Uncle Liu admitted that his current overreaction was due to his blatant jealousy.
Who let his old lady just kick him out of the house, and he still has to watch these young peopleâs heart-wrenching PDA?
âWhat image does it hurt for me to talk a few words with my daughter-in-law? Uncle, donât make a fuss over nothing!â Yu Minglangâs mood was especially good now, watching Xiao Qianâs red car getting further away, his eyes full of longing.
Feeling the leaderâs envious and jealous gaze, Yu Minglang simply took out his cell phone and increased the hate value even more.
âWhile Iâm not busy yet, Iâll make a private call~â He said to Uncle Liu as he dialed the number.
Uncle Liu really wanted to scoff, considering this kidâs constant flaunting of his relationship, he didnât even want to tell Yu Minglang about his upcoming work arrangement. He didnât want to give this stinky kid any benefits.
âLiu Mei, itâs your Brother Lang.â
Huh? Surprisingly, itâs not a call to Xiao Qian? Liu Mei⦠Oh, that girl! Uncle Liu thought Yu Minglang hadnât had enough and wanted to call Xiao Qian after getting in the car, but he only heard Yu Minglang calling his cousin.
âBrother, whatâs up?â
The female voice on the other end of the phone was very crisp, a bit low but not annoying, and a little hoarse.
âHave you found a job yet?â
âNot yet.â
âIâll find you a job, but you have to come to Lin City.â
âIs the rent expensive there?â
âIâll arrange a place for you to stay, but thereâs a special job arrangement for you. You know my wife, youâ¦â
Uncle Liu was wondering why Yu Minglang didnât call Xiao Qian first.
But he listened to Yu Minglangâs roundabout call back to Xiao Qian and felt a heartache at this roundabout dog food!
Yu Minglang hung up the phone and saw Uncle Liu covering his cheek.
âToothache?â
âYou made me suffer, fine, letâs not talk nonsense and get to the point.â
Uncle Liu handed a file bag to Yu Minglang, who took it, opened it, looked at it, and quietly put it back.
âLooking at you, you seem very happy?â
âYeah.â Yu Minglangâs mouth curled up slightly.
It was indeed good news.
According to the decision of the Groupâs shareholder meeting, the companyâs headquarters will be relocated to another city.
Although this matter has been talked about for a long time and it is a good thing for the companyâs development, Ming Lang personally sees the biggest benefit not only in the better development prospects after the relocation.
But he can be with Xiao Mei day and night soon.
â¦
When Xiao Qian returned home, she sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, then adjusted her mood and finally eased the feeling of parting with her lover.
This time they were separated, she didnât know how long it would be before they could see each other again.
She opened the refrigerator and saw the food he had stuffed in there. Bags of dumplings and wontons were neatly arranged by him.
Yu Minglangâs personal habits were so good that many things in the house were sorted out by him into categories after he had stayed there for a few days. Even the food in the refrigerator was neat and tidy.
She didnât know when they would see each other again the next time, and the thought of it made her feel a bit sad.
After all, it was a long-distance romance, and he was so busy with work. Every time he crossed the city to see her, they would meet in haste and then have to part again. She didnât know when they could be together every day.
Unfortunately, she was still in school, which made her feel headache.
Sometimes she wished time would pass quickly, but it never went as she wanted. They had just separated, and she was already looking forward to their next meeting.
