Chapter 150 - 150: Encounter with Cheng Yang
Gu Shaoting spent a long time at Shu Pan’s house. In the end, he had no more excuses to stay, so he left.
When he stepped outside, it was already dark, and he didn’t want to return to his empty house. He called He Ming.
“Where are you? Come out for a drink,” Gu Shaoting invited him.
“Um… Brother Ting, I can’t tonight, I have something to do,” He Ming quickly declined. Most importantly, Ye Xiaomeng didn’t like people who drank, not even beer. He had tried a few times, and every time, Ye Xiaomeng would show a disgusted expression.
“Has the sun risen from the west?” Gu Shaoting pondered for a moment. Had He Ming undergone a transformation?
“Hehe, Brother Ting, you’d better not drink either. It’s not good for your health,” He Ming said. At this moment, Gu Shaoting believed that He Ming had been brainwashed. Who had influenced him so much? Gu Shaoting really wanted to find out.
“Why do you have so much free time? You’re always around,” Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t figure out why He Ming was clinging to her.
“I’m keeping you company for a little shopping. You’ve been away in your hometown for two days, and it felt like an eternity. I missed you,” He Ming pitifully replied.
“Fine, but no impulsive shopping. If you buy anything unnecessary, I won’t go, ” Ye Xiaomeng clarified, well aware of He Ming’s nature.
“Alright, I get it. Let’s go,” He Ming urged her.
Ye Xiaomeng wasn’t quite sure about her relationship with He Ming now. They were constantly bickering and had no formal status. Since her breakup with Cheng Yang, she had been afraid of loneliness and wanted someone to keep her company. She hadn’t taken the initiative to define her relationship with He Ming, so they were just taking things day by day.
Arriving at the shopping mall, it was still early, and there were many people around. Ye Xiaomeng didn’t have anything specific to buy, so she strolled around while He Ming followed her, pointing out stores and offering opinions on different items.
Ye Xiaomeng had never seen a man talk so much.
“I’ll just walk around. You don’t need to keep talking in my ear,” Ye Xiaomeng finally lost her patience.
“I’m just giving you some advice. Have you found anything you like? How about we check out the clothing section?” He Ming suggested.
“Let’s just walk around, ” Ye Xiaomeng replied absentmindedly.
As they were discussing where to go next, they encountered another couple walking towards them. The man was handsome, and the woman was attractive.
When Ye Xiaomeng looked ahead, her gaze met with Cheng Yang’s. The scene felt familiar but was now irrelevant to her.
Cheng Yang was a little embarrassed. He looked away awkwardly, but when he saw He Ming beside Ye Xiaomeng, he froze and his eyes dimmed.
In reality, the world kept turning every day. Breaking up with someone didn’t mean the end of the world. The old went, the new came, and everyone knew this. So, one shouldn’t say one couldn’t live without someone. The world would keep on going.
Ye Xiaomeng glanced at them but pretended not to recognize them. She continued walking past Cheng Yang and his companion with He Ming.
It seemed that He Ming also picked up on something, but he acted like he didn’t know and held Ye Xiaomeng’s hand as they walked on.
Two people who had once separated passed each other.
Ye Xiaomeng seemed to forget this brief encounter and continued to stroll around happily.
Seeing that he had found a new destination, she was happy for him. Everyone should move forward, not dwell on the past. There was no obstacle that couldn’t be overcome, especially in love. Time was the best medicine.
He Ming had probably guessed something, but he pretended not to know. Everyone had their own secrets. He didn’t want to pour salt on the healing scars. If the day came when she opened up, she would tell him. He waited for that day to arrive..
