Chapter 223
"Chu Yang, are you planning to buy a car?"
"Yes. The car Yan gave me is too flashy, so I want to buy a more ordinary one. During the summer break, Yan and I are moving to the Imperial Prosperity area. It's a bit far from school, so I thought I'd drive there. I'll invite you all out for a meal when the time comes."
"We'll definitely come."
The staff at the 4S dealership treated them very warmly. In less than an hour, Chu Yang had decided on a black car worth around 200,000 yuan. However, it would take a month before she could get the car. Chu Yang thought that timing would be just right.
In the evening, they went to watch a movie. Midway through, Chu Yang received a call from Chi Yan. Having learned from her previous lesson, this time Chu Yang obediently informed Chi Yan, "I'm at Jinghai Cinema. Hmm, we have about half an hour left. You're coming to pick me up? Alright."
Half an hour later, when Chu Yang and Jin Yang's group walked out of the cinema, they saw Chi Yan waiting outside.
Chu Yang said goodbye to Jin Yang and the others, then got into Chi Yan's car and left.
"I have to go on a business trip for half a month," Chi Yan said as soon as Chu Yang got in the car.
"Where to?" Chu Yang didn't want him to encounter any dangerous situations like during his last trip.
"To Nanhai City." Nanhai City was about a thousand kilometers away from Jing City.
"How many people are you taking with you this time?"
Chi Yan turned his head and held her hand reassuringly with one hand, then put it back on the steering wheel. "Don't worry, I'll bring more people this time, and there will be bodyguards arranged there as well."
"Let me check for you when we get back."
"Okay."
Upon returning to the Forest Garden Community, Chu Yang took out her crystal ball. The crystal ball showed images of Chi Yan shaking hands with others, presumably discussing business. The scene then changed to Chi Yan in a meeting, and then shifted again to show him boarding a plane.
Since he had safely boarded the plane, it seemed everything would be fine.
Chu Yang felt relieved. "I've checked, and there don't seem to be any unexpected events. I'll wait for you at home."
"Mm." Chi Yan hugged her.
Early the next morning, Chi Yan left. On the first night after Chi Yan's departure, Chu Yang felt okay. On the second night, she felt the house was a bit too quiet. By the third day, she thought, maybe she should go back to the dorm for a while.
She then instructed the housekeeper not to come and cook for the next few days. She packed two sets of clothes and returned to school.
Pushing open the door to the dorm room, she found Jin Yang and the others inside. Chu Yang announced, "My Yan is on a business trip recently, so I've decided to come back and stay for a few days."
"Welcome, welcome!" Jin Yang immediately came over and hugged her.
Not long after Chu Yang returned, Ya Ya and Small Grapefruit flew over. These two crows seemed to have gotten fatter, probably overfed by Jin Yang and the others.
Chu Yang stroked their feathers, "How did you two get so fat? Can you still fly?"
Ya Ya cawed twice, then turned its bottom towards Chu Yang. It was angry! Hmph!
Chu Yang laughed, "Even though you're fatter, you're even cuter now. I have some small bread for you, come and eat."
Ya Ya immediately turned around, "Ya ya!" Considering that you complimented me, I forgive you.
After Ya Ya and Small Grapefruit finished eating, the two flew around the dorm room, playing and occasionally cawing. People from the neighboring dorm heard the noise and came over. "Your dorm... Wow, there are birds!"
Jin Yang said, "They're crows."
"Wow, crows! I've never seen them before. They're so black. Oh my, they're so chubby."
Upon hearing this, Ya Ya and Small Grapefruit immediately flew towards the window. Reaching the window, they turned their heads back towards the room, cawed twice, and then flew away. You're the chubby ones!
The neighbors, "Oh no, why did they fly away?"
With no more spectacle to see, the people returned to their rooms.
In the evening, the dorm chat continued.
Qian Xin suddenly said, "I'm officially announcing that I'm in a relationship!"
The other three: ???
Jin Yang immediately sat up, "Who? Tell us, which man has lured you away?"
Qian Xin smiled sweetly, "Hehe, I met him during my internship. He works at that company."
"So he's already in the workforce?" Zhou Caicai asked.
"Yes. He was really nice during my internship, often helping me out. Oh, and he used to study at A University too. He's our senior, graduated two years ago."
"Do you have a photo? Can we see?"
Qian Xin promptly sent a photo of her boyfriend to the dorm group chat. He was a tall, slim guy, not very handsome, but quite pleasant-looking.
"Wow! Congratulations! When are you treating us to a meal?"
"I'll ask him, and we'll treat you to a meal when we're free."
"Okay, okay."
Jin Yang sighed, "Two people in our dorm are now in relationships. When will it be my turn?"
Zhou Caicai on the other side asked curiously, "Hm? Aren't you and Wei Feng..."
Jin Yang quickly interrupted her, "No, no, we're not."
Chu Yang, unaware of what had happened while she was away, asked, "What about Wei Feng?"
Zhou Caicai: "I've seen Wei Feng come to find Jin Yang several times."
Jin Yang blushed a little and waved her hand, "It wasn't that many times, just two or three. We just... uh, I just needed his help with some things."
Chu Yang immediately said, "When did you two become so close?"
Jin Yang pulled the blanket over her head, "We just chatted a lot online, and we've played games together before."
Chu Yang: "So what's going on between you two now?"
Jin Yang: "Nothing much?"
Zhou Caicai: "Nothing much? I saw him buying snacks for you and giving them to you. Speaking of which, when Chi Yan, the campus heartthrob, was pursuing our Chu Yang before, didn't he also often buy bags of snacks for her?"
Jin Yang felt a bit embarrassed, "Well, it's just the ambiguous stage for now."
"Oh~" The three of them immediately chimed in unison, making Jin Yang feel her face must be bright red.
"Anyway, the time for a treat probably isn't far off."
"What about you? I saw a guy coming to find you last time too," Jin Yang asked Zhou Caicai.
Zhou Caicai looked confused: "When?"
Jin Yang: "That day when Chu Yang drove her pink Maserati."
Zhou Caicai suddenly realized, "Oh, that was someone from the student council. He was looking for me about something. Don't misunderstand, there's nothing between us, we're just classmates. Sigh! Anyway, I don't have anyone I like at the moment. If you know any good guys, remember to introduce them to me, okay?"
Jin Yang: "I think there are quite a few nice guys in Wei Feng's basketball team."
Zhou Caicai shook her head, "Forget it, I don't like that type. I prefer the gentle, scholarly kind who blush and get embarrassed easily when teased."
The other three were somewhat shocked: "We never thought you'd like that type!"
Zhou Caicai said, "I feel like that type is more obedient."
"Not necessarily. Whether someone is obedient or not depends on the individual. Look at Ya Ya's boyfriend - he looks like a young master, but isn't he so well-behaved?"
"That's true. It really does depend on the person."
The girls' late-night dorm room chat continued until after 1 AM. Gradually, as everyone grew tired, they drifted off to sleep.
As a result, all four of them overslept the next day.
