Chapter 229: A Hug (2)

Jiang Yi’s voice reached Lu Qingye’s ears, making him frown slightly.

Meng Chuyuan appeared nonchalant. There was not a single ripple in her eyes.

After a while, Meng Chuyuan took the initiative to step forward. She looked up at the man in front of him and said in a gentle voice, “Then let’s hug.”

She calmly opened her arms and slid her arms past Lu Qingye’s shirt sleeves. She leaned forward slightly and gently grabbed the sides of his coat.

Meng Chuyuan’s embrace was like a breeze brushing past a willow tree, leaving behind a slight ripple.

There was an elegant fragrance in the air. She was gripping the clothes at his waist and he could feel it dip down slightly. All of that told him that this was real.

In an instant, Lu Qingye came back to his senses. He instinctively raised his hand and placed it on her back.

To Jiang Yi, a simple hug was nothing. However, when he saw Lu Qingye approach a girl so close for the first time, his expression became a little rich.

This hug only lasted for two to three seconds. When they separated, Meng Chuyuan raised her head and smiled sweetly at him. “Have a safe trip.”

Perhaps it was because the incident just now happened too quickly but Lu Qingye still had not regained his senses.

At this moment, they were already on their way to the airport. Jiang Yi had said a few words to him, but Lu Qingye was distracted and wasn’t listening seriously at all.

Jiang Yi glanced at him through the rearview mirror and said in disdain, “Don’t tell me your soul fell into the house?”

Lu Qingye: “…”

After he composed himself, Lu Qingye remembered what had happened a while ago and asked, “How’s the matter I asked you to handle last time?”

Jiang Yi patted his chest reliably. “Don’t worry.”

Lu Qianling’s school had recently started preparing for the school sports meet. Currently, the number of participants in each class had already been calculated, and they would also organize a square formation rehearsal training after class.

This afternoon, Lu Qianling’s class happened to have a physical education class. The students who signed up for the sports meet used their free time to practice. The remaining cheerleaders would also privately think of slogans in advance. Only Lu Qianling was free.

A few classmates saw Lu Qianling standing under the shade of the tree with nothing to do and suddenly walked up to talk to her. “Lu Qianling, didn’t you sign up for the women’s 15km race? Why aren’t you training?”

Lu Qianling replied calmly, “It’s only 1.5km. What’s there to practice?”

Every time the school’s sports meet was held, Lu Qianling wished she could take a leave of absence from school. Why would she take the initiative to sign up for it?

However, last year, the results of their class’s sports games were a mess. According to their studies, their class was naturally the top in the cohort, but they were almost at the bottom of the cohort in sports.

During the registration that day, Lu Qianling even used this matter to mock her classmates who didn’t like her. In the end, when she didn’t sign up, this matter was also brought up by her classmates.

Because of this matter, Lu Qianling directly signed up for the women’s 1.5km race on the day of registration. Seeing that she dared to take on such a big gamble, those students who participated in the race naturally boasted that they would bring back the best results.

“It’s ONLY 1.5km? Lu Qianling, do you have no concept of distance?”

Lu Qianling’s lips curled into a cold smile. “When have I ever panted?”

She was not a pampered young lady.

When she was young, her two brothers had the habit of running in the morning and at night. Naturally, Lu Qianling was not idle either.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were too busy with work now, she probably would have seen them come back sweating every morning.

“How many meters is the physical test? I bet you won’t even be able to stand up after running 1.5km .”

Lu Qianling: “Then please open your eyes wide and see if I can stand up.”

…

It was still three days before the start of the variety show recording.

That day, Liao Jiake took the initiative to contact Liao Jiayan, but she ignored her for a few days.

When Liao Jiayan woke up and saw her message again, she finally remembered to reply: [I’ll be there.]

The last time she got drunk at the barbeque bar, she met Meng Chuyuan by chance. Actually, Liao Jiayan couldn’t remember what they were talking about that night.

However, she vaguely remembered Meng Chuyuan’s words: Her parents only treated Liao Jiake as a money-making tool.

When she thought of this sentence again, Liao Jiayan’s mood was indeed a little different from before.

Liao Jiake replied almost instantly: [That’s great, Yan Yan. Thank you.]

Liao Jiayan logged out of the chat after reading it. Then, she added Meng Chuyuan’s WeChat through the production team’s WeChat group chat. The verification message directly stated her purpose: [Are you free for dinner tonight?]

About half an hour later, Meng Chuyuan saw the friend request.

On account of their friendship that night, Meng Chuyuan agreed to the friend request and agreed: [Sure.]

Liao Jiayan: [Are you bringing anybody along?]

Meng Chuyuan looked at the message she sent and clearly did not understand it. She slowly sent a question mark over.

Liao Jiayan: [Is your husband coming too? I don’t have any other intentions. I just want to ask about the number of people so that I can book a table in advance.]

[I’m alone.]

Meng Chuyuan spent most of her time at home, chatting with her mother-in-law and teaching her how to play cards. Liao Jiayan asked her out for dinner tonight. Coincidentally, she also wanted to go out.

In the evening, Meng Chuyuan appeared punctually at the restaurant where they had agreed to meet.

“Am I late?” Meng Chuyuan was a little surprised to see Liao Jiayan already sitting in her seat.

“I’m the one who arrived early.” She lived in a nearby apartment.

After Meng Chuyuan sat down, she took a cup of hot water to warm her hands. It was rare to see Liao Jiayan so much more cheerful than on the variety show. She couldn’t help but tease, “Sister Yanyan, you look good recently.”

“Really?” Liao Jiayan held her face shyly after being praised by her. When she looked up inadvertently, she realized that Meng Chuyuan had a silk scarf around her neck today. The workmanship seemed to be quite unique.

She stared at it for two or three seconds and said, “Your scarf looks pretty good.”
