Chapter 39. ☆ Be Proactive.

Lu Zhengyuan has put a lot of effort into making this trip perfect. From planning the route to renting a fleet of cars, even the car had some snacks and drinks to quench thirst and fill hunger. He was very considerate.

Ruan Mengmeng tore open a Snickers bar, “Brother, do you want to eat some?”

He Yiyang clasped his hands to his chest, his chin twisted, and he looked towards the side window.

Ruan Mengmeng: “..”

Sigh. She glanced at the driver in front of her, who was focused on the road. Then, she thought better of it and explained it clearly.

“I didn’t know we were going camping either. Jiajia only told me today,” Ruan Mengmeng poked He Yiyang’s arm, “Don’t be upset, we’re all out.”

He Yiyang looked at her, his eyes dark and sullen.

How could he have come if he had known that this event was for Lu Zhengyuan’s farewell? He was so upset that it was all because of this silly little fatty who had dragged him out in a cheeky manner.

Ruan Mengmeng was startled and stiffened.

He Yiyang’s brain buzzed. He was so angry that he wanted to jump out of the car. What had Lu Zhengyuan done to her? The punch he threw that day was really too light!

And this little idiot? If it weren’t for the stranger in front of her, he would want to pin her down on his lap and spank her so hard!

“No.” Ruan Mengmeng felt that if she didn’t deny it, He Yiyang’s fist would be more than just a simple threat.

She sat up and scratched her face. “I refused once a long time ago. Zhengyuan knows how to behave. Today he was just talking unwillingly. I pretended I didn’t hear him and muddled through. After all, he’s about to leave the country. I can’t be too harsh.”

He Yiyang looked at her, his eyes dark and heavy, and only after a long time did he let out a cloudy breath.

This little fatty was still the same as when she was a child. Always putting other people’s feelings first.

“It’s okay to have fun but not to camp.” He Yiyang felt that he was deeply broad-minded, “Isn’t the barbecue arranged at the holiday lodge? Let’s just ask for two rooms.”

“Nnnn,” Ruan Mengmeng yawned when she saw that she had gotten through her thought process, “Whatever brother says.”

He Yiyang gently patted her face, “Go to sleep. I’ll call you when we get there.”

The holiday resort was in the suburbs, and it was dark all the way there.

Walking along the overgrown stone path, the cool breeze had a faint aroma, accompanied by the frog chirping in the pond. It made the mind open and feel refreshed.

They all joked and laughed as they set up the barbecue, excitedly looking as if the gods of cooking had possessed them. They grilled blackened chicken wings and forced themselves to claim they were the best they had ever tasted.

It was fun to watch, but the joy of actually doing it was incomparable.

Ruan Mengmeng was the best of the bunch, never burning anything. After all, she was the only one who could cook.

She grilled a few skewers of fresh mushrooms and two chicken legs, “Here, brother.”

“Finally it’s my turn?” He Yiyang turned off his phone and took the fresh mushrooms.

Ruan Mengmeng laughed, “You didn’t come to get them yourself. Who can you blame? They are all grilled with charcoal. How can you really eat them?”

He Yiyang took a bite of the fresh mushrooms. The taste was good and the corners of his lips curled slightly. Then he grunted in dissatisfaction, “It’s obviously all mine.”

Ruan Mengmeng glanced at him and snorted out a laugh.

“What?” He Yiyang looked at her askance.

Ruan Mengmeng wisely said, “No, do you want to eat the little squid? Can I help you bake it?”

“You eat your own first.” He Yiyang ate the fresh mushrooms, “I’ll do it.”

Rolling up his sleeves, he took two skewers of baby squid and fussed over the grill.

“Ouch, no!”

Seeing him drench the grill with a bottle of oil, Ruan Mengmeng jumped over in fright, but it was already too late. A flicker of fire rushed upwards.

“Is everything okay?” Ruan Mengmeng nervously cupped his face to inspect it, “Face is fine, eyebrows are there, bangs …… hahaha.”

He Yiyang’s eyes were smokey, and he was confused.

A blush stained his face, and He Yiyang said angrily, “No laughing.”

“Hahahahaha ……,” Ruan Mengmeng covered her stomach and laughed so hard she hit iterations. “It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s just a little bit burnt.”

On the other hand, Lu Zhengyuan looked over and felt suffocated and uncomfortable. He took out his phone to take several shots at Ruan Mengmeng.

Whether she liked or disliked him, you can tell by looking at the smile.

“Zhengyuan,” Li Manle handed him a cocktail and followed his line of sight to look at Ruan Mengmeng. “What is it about me that is not as good as her?”

Lu Zhengyuan took the cocktail and took a sip, his tongue sour. “There is no comparison. Mengmeng is special.”

Li Manle froze for a second and said dryly, “Is that so? Oh.”

She was also in the process of applying to study in the UK, and at this point next year she couldn’t believe that Lu Zhengyuan couldn’t get over it.

A beautiful piece of music came from the other side of the woods. As the crowd looked around, there was a waterfront veranda with a few people on it and a bright silver drum kit that stood out.

“It seems to be very lively. Shall we all go and have a look?” Qin Tian asked, raising his hand to straighten his collar and hair.

Chen Linjia seemed quite interested, stretching her neck to look there, and when Gu Tingzhi saw this, he agreed, “Let’s go.”

It turned out to be another group of young people having a music party. One of them knew Gu Tingzhi, so when they met, they laughed, touched shoulders, and naturally played together.

Ruan Mengmeng sat on a high stool, her hand propped up on her cheek as she looked at the mountains in the darkness.

The hustle and bustle behind her seemed to be pulling away, and the lake of her heart was so calm that it was soft and gentle.

The mountain breeze was slightly cool.

A mellow saxophone sounded. Ruan Mengmeng looked over and saw He Yiyang with a handsome face in the middle of the water pavilion, holding a metallic saxophone in both hands.

I Will Always Love You. A classic song with an emotional mood that instantly captured the hearts and minds of everyone present.

Ruan Mengmeng turned around, her eyes mesmerised. He Yiyang’s stiff spine was sensual in the lingering music.

He Yiyang instantly caught her gaze. The narrow ends of his eyes were upturned, and Ruan Mengmeng’s heartbeat increased by 200.

Qin Tian suddenly tsked as he listened. He and Lu Zhengyuan looked at each other and smiled as they jumped onto the stage with their hands propped up on the water pavilion. The former held up his guitar and the latter stood behind the electric piano.

Gu Tingzhi smiled and shook his head, pulling his hands out of his pockets and taking the drumsticks handed to him by the drummer next to him.

Beautifully dynamic, young and active, the music party burns again.

He Yiyang, who played saxophone on stage, had a unique style. As soon as he got off the stage, he received many glances from young men and women.

He Yiyang thanked a beautiful woman for her invitation to wine while declining, and politely said a few words, to which she smiled with relief.

“Let’s go.” He Yiyang stroked Ruan Mengmeng’s head.

Ruan Mengmeng said, “No more fun?”

“You can’t stop yawning,” He Yiyang pulled her down, “Let’s go back to bed.”

Ruan Mengmeng rubbed her eyes and turned around to say something to Chen Linjia, but she was too busy playing to pay attention. Instead, Lu Zhengyuan met her gaze and waved his hand.

He Yiyang grabbed her by the neck and dragged her into his arms. “Look at your feet, walk properly.”

Ruan Mengmeng: “……” It was clearly you who did not let me walk properly.

When we got back to the lodge, it was already past twelve o’clock. Usually by this time, Ruan Mengmeng would have gone to sleep.

“ID card.” He Yiyang abducted her.

“I don’t have it with me, it’s at home.” Ruan Mengmeng said.

He Yiyang was speechless and turned back to the front desk clerk and said calmly, “A luxury suite.”

The waiter’s eyes flicked around the two people’s faces. Hearing Ruan Mengmeng’s mouth shouting brother and relying on her hands to hold the boy’s arms, he didn’t ask any more questions, as there were two beds in the suite anyway.

He Yiyang took the room card and took Ruan Mengmeng, who was stuck to his body like a soft bone, to the lift.

When she got to his room, Ruan Mengmeng flung herself onto the bed without saying a word, tears coming out of the corners of her eyes. She was too sleepy.

He Yiyang took a shower and found Ruan Mengmeng collapsed straight on the bed, not even taking off her shoes. He helplessly shook his head.

“Mengmeng ……” he patted her face. Her eyelashes didn’t even flutter. He Yiyang lost his smile, “You’re so relieved about me?”

He covered her with a quilt and wiped her face and hands before Ruan Mengmeng opened her eyes in a trance. She took He Yiyang’s hand and rubbed her face on the back of it, in a completely dependent manner.

“Good night, brother.”

He Yiyang’s heart was softened by her rubbing against him, so he chirped his little mouth and said softly, “Good night.”

Just as he was about to get up, he turned around and bit the corner of her mouth.

“Ah!” Ruan Mengmeng woke up in pain and met He Yiyang’s vicious gaze, wondering, “What are you doing?”

He Yiyang held her lips and said, “Where’s your girlish vigilance?”

She was about to die of sleep, and now she was talking to her about this? Ruan Mengmeng was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.

“I know, it’s not you! And I’ve seen it. There are two rooms. Brother, you wouldn’t want to do anything, would you?”

He Yiyang was speechless for a moment.

“Humph!” Ruan Mengmeng huffed and pulled the quilt over her head.

He Yiyang: “……” pulled off the covers and rubbed her hairy head,” Only let down your guard for me, not any boy.”

After waiting, Ruan Mengmeng did not respond.

He Yiyang couldn’t hold his face. This little fatty’s temper had risen. Who was he doing this for?

Close to her ear, he gritted his teeth and said, “Ruan Mengmeng …… Well?!”

Ruan Mengmeng was really annoyed with him and cupped his face and blocked his lips with hers.

He Yiyang pushed away violently and fled the room, the door clanging shut.

He leaned against the wall, his handsome face flushed red.

His eyes slowly moved down, tormented, “It’s killing me ……”
