“East Shao, what are you trying to do today? I have given you enough face!” Qi Tian's expression had turned grim.
“What face do I have? Everyone here is a guest; if you come to spend money, how could I not welcome you? But today, in front of Brother Lele, if I don’t say a few words as the host, that would be too disrespectful, don’t you think?” East Shao's expression instantly returned to calm, but his words still carried a sharp edge.
“Brother Lele?!” Qi Tian's grim face suddenly showed a look of surprise. He stared blankly at Shen Zhiyu, unable to believe that this man in his thirties was actually Brother Lele from Yanjing. The name of Brother Lele was quite renowned among the Red Third Generation in Yanjing, but he had rarely shown his face in recent years. Many new rich individuals in their twenties who were much younger than him had never seen him in person. Qi Tian had only heard of him but never met him.
“I just said to let it go, Xiao Qi. Don’t take everything too seriously; otherwise, you’ll tire yourself out. Just head back,” Shen Zhiyu said with a smile, shaking his finger at Qi Tian before turning and walking inside. The others followed suit.
Qi Tian stood there for a while without saying anything and eventually left with a thoughtful expression.
Zhang Yang hadn’t expected Brother Lele’s reputation to be so powerful that it could intimidate someone like Qi the Young Master. He recalled when he first met Shen Zhiyu; they had spent a night at the Criminal Investigation Team together. Shen Zhiyu had been able to sleep soundly, calm and unhurried. Later on, Shen Zhiyu didn’t actively seek trouble with Wu Liangdong and continued to investigate the cases he needed to address first. He always worried about significant matters.
So this was the true essence of being impressive.
Everyone arrived at a tea room called “Fragrant Tea.” “Didn’t you say you weren’t coming?” Li Shao looked at Chu Ruoxi and said to Zhang Yang.
“Huh?” Chu Ruoxi seemed a bit confused.
“Ahem, this is Zhang Yang’s classmate,” Shen Zhiyu quickly interjected. He had met Ding Weiwei before and knew that this girl was not Zhang Yang’s girlfriend.
“Oh, Ruo Xi, right? Come, let’s drink some tea. We have a new special osmanthus tea; give it a try,” East Shao said.
“By the way, Zhang Yang, why did you come to Yanjing?” Chu Ruoxi asked.
“I just came to hang out with Brother Shen,” Zhang Yang replied.
“Great! How about I take you out tomorrow? Where do you want to go?” Chu Ruoxi said with a bright smile while sneaking glances at Zhang Yang’s expression as they drank tea.
“Uh…” Zhang Yang thought bitterly to himself about the situation. He really should have told Chu Ruoxi earlier that he had a girlfriend; enjoying what was on his plate while eyeing what was in the pot would eventually lead to trouble.
Shen Zhiyu glanced at Zhang Yang and thought to himself that this guy was doing well; each one more attractive than the last. He couldn’t help but say, “Ruo Xi, tomorrow really won’t work for us. We’ve made plans with Zhang Yang for some personal matters we need to attend to. How about you all arrange something for the day after?”
"Alright, let's get in touch the day after tomorrow," Chu Ruoxi replied readily without much thought.
Shen Zhiyu poured a cup of tea for Zhang Yang while glancing at him, thinking, Brother, I can only help you this far.
Zhang Yang knew that Shen Zhiyu had saved him, so after drinking tea for a while, he claimed he couldn't hold his liquor and wanted to go back to rest. Li Shao said, "With your drinking capacity, you're just pretending. What's the rush? We haven't even gotten started yet; there are still many activities left."
"There's something tomorrow, so let's pause for now. We can continue when we have time," Shen Zhiyu said, exchanging glances with East Shao and Li Shao.
The two understood and didn't press further. However, while Zhang Yang could leave, East Shao and Li Shao insisted on keeping Shen Zhiyu to chat more, so they arranged for cars to take Zhang Yang and Chu Ruoxi back separately.
Back at the hotel, Ding Weiwei was watching a Korean drama on TV, crying uncontrollably. "It's all fake; how can you cry over this? How will you become a great journalist in the future?" Zhang Yang teased.
"Annoying!" Ding Weiwei threw a pillow at Zhang Yang.
"Ah!" Zhang Yang caught the pillow and leaped backward, his body tracing an arc in the air before landing heavily on the ground.
"Annoying!" Ding Weiwei laughed through her tears this time. Knowing Zhang Yang's skills, she called out, "Stop playing dead! Come discuss where we should go tomorrow!"
As a world-renowned ancient capital, Yanjing has many famous historical sites. However, Ding Weiwei said she wanted to visit a Taoist temple in the southern city first. "I heard that making wishes there is very effective; I want to go with you to make a wish."
"Sure, let's make wishes in the morning and go shopping in the afternoon," Zhang Yang replied. He knew Ding Weiwei loved shopping and didn't have any particular places he wanted to visit himself; it was better to let her enjoy herself.
Early the next morning, the two took a taxi to the Taoist temple. Zhang Yang didn't expect making a wish would be so complicated. First, they had to touch some markings at the entrance, then follow specific steps to enter, burn incense, bow down, make their wishes, and finally purchase two jade tablets as a conclusion.
Zhang Yang glanced at the jade tablets; they were made of ordinary material but cost over a thousand yuan. He thought about how profitable this business must be...
After leaving the temple, they walked down a small street nearby. After walking for a while, Ding Weiwei seemed to sense what Zhang Yang was thinking and asked playfully, "If your heart is sincere, it will be effective. What did you wish for?"
"That all lovers in the world will eventually be together," Zhang Yang said seriously.
"Hmph, you're still worried about the world," Ding Weiwei replied. "Why don't you ask me what I wished for?"
"Lady first, you can ask your question first. Now it's my turn to ask, what wish did you make?" Zhang Yang said with a smile as he gently touched Ding Weiwei's hair.
"I wished that all women would find you unattractive! Hahaha." Ding Weiwei laughed.
Looking at Ding Weiwei's smiling face, Zhang Yang felt a warmth in his heart and leaned in to kiss her on the lips. "There are a lot of people around..."
Ding Weiwei instinctively pushed him away, but since she couldn't get him off, she just let Zhang Yang continue.
"Zhang Yang!" Suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind.
Zhang Yang hurriedly turned around and was surprised to see Chu Ruoxi and Chen Xiangyu. Although Chen Xiangyu's father worked in Shanhai Province and she studied in Shanzhou, her mother still worked in Yanjing, and their home was also in Yanjing. Clearly, Chu Ruoxi hadn't managed to meet Zhang Yang and had come out with Chen Xiangyu today.
They didn't expect to find them at the temple making wishes; they had arrived later than Zhang Yang and Ding Weiwei, who had already walked a short distance after leaving.
"I can't believe it; my assessment of you back then was correct. You really are a pervert!" Chu Ruoxi said, her face flushed and her eyes filled with anger. After saying that, she turned and walked away.
"It's all a misunderstanding!" Chen Xiangyu glanced at Ding Weiwei, gave Zhang Yang a knowing look, then turned back to chase after Chu Ruoxi. "Ruo Xi..."
"Who is she?!" Ding Weiwei's expression darkened significantly. "I just made that wish; it's really effective!"
