“Sort of. Have you seen her?” Yang Ming nodded. He naturally wouldn’t say anything about sending Zhang Bing to stalk her. It was a bit shameful.
” En , I have seen her in the last two days. After that, I’ve been wanting to talk to you.” Zhao Ying said with a faint sigh, “Let’s find a place to sit. It’s winter. We can’t just keep on standing here, right? How cold is it?”
” Hehe , you are right. Let’s find a coffee house or something?” Yang Ming suggested.
“Okay, but you lead the way. I’m still a new student, and I’m not very familiar with this place.” Zhao Ying said as she rocked her feet like a child as she looked around.
“Let’s go. I know a store. The students around here usually go there.” Yang Ming said with a smile.
The winter night was freezing. The climate in the north was already minus ten or twenty degrees. A chilling wind blew, and Zhao Ying unconsciously trembled.
“Is it cold?” Yang Ming looked at Zhao Ying’s down jacket and asked curiously. “You are wearing a thick outfit!”
“But I didn’t wear a sweater inside. When you asked me out, I was lying on the bed almost asleep. The sweater was being dry-cleaned in the dry cleaners downstairs, so I could only put on a down jacket.” Zhao Ying said with a smile.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” When Yang Ming saw Zhao Ying shivering, he quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around Zhao Ying. Yang Ming was tall, and the coat was loose. Therefore, even if Zhao Ying was already wearing a down jacket, it could easily wrap her up.
“How about you?” Zhao Ying saw Yang Ming wearing only a cashmere sweater and she asked in a worried manner.
“Me? No big deal, I’m like a fire in the winter!” Yang Ming laughed. Even though Yang Ming was strong, a cold wind could also make him shivered involuntarily.
“Stop being garrulous. You are a fire? Isn’t it blown out?” Zhao Ying noticed Yang Ming’s expression. She said while finding it amusing, “Come on and take back the jacket!”
“Forget it. I’m resistant to the cold. It’s no big deal.” Yang Ming shook his head and said, “Let’s go. Zhang Bing has a car. Let’s drive his car. It’s just in front. Let’s take a few steps and we will reach it!”
“Alright!” Zhao Ying nodded and walked forward with Yang Ming. Although the weather was still cold, even with Yang Ming’s coat, Zhao Ying was freezing. But, she felt warm deep down her heart! Indeed, it was this long-lost feeling that Yang Ming cared about her and cherished her. The feelings that Zhao Ying deliberated suppressed was starting to loosen up. Once it broke out, it would be out of control.
Zhao Ying knew that if she expressed it first, Yang Ming would definitely respond to her. That was a woman’s keen instinct! He still cares about me. Also, he really cherishes me.
Just from him holding a grudge for Jin Gang shopping with me, I can sense that Yang Ming definitely has a place for me in his heart! However, Zhao Ying was at a loss. Even if Yang Ming responds to me, so what?
Now, Yang Ming wasn’t short of women beside him. Would he still value me like he used to? Moreover, what would Chen Mengyan think? I’m fighting for the boyfriend of my own student. The Zhao Ying from one year ago would definitely sneer at this and even laugh out loud. What a ridiculous thing, a teacher falling for her student? It was just like writing a novel!
However, things really happened to me! Zhao Ying felt bitterness as though she was a failure. The first failure was that she shouldn’t have fallen in love with Yang Ming, but this thing wasn’t something she could control. Sometimes, love came so inexplicably.
Love was one of the most mysterious emotions. Many experts studied love, but there was no particularly clear result. It was a very strange thing that one person would fall in love with another.
Therefore, when Zhao Ying fell in love with Yang Ming, she couldn’t do anything about it. However, Zhao Ying felt that her biggest failure was that she gave up despite the opportunities presented in front of her eyes!
That night, at that moment, both Yang Ming and I were in the mood. If it wasn’t me having hesitation and conflict, our relationship already would have started and I would become Yang Ming’s woman.
However, there was no regret. Zhao Ying shook her head and looked up. She found that Yang Ming had taken out the car remote control and opened a car door not far away.
“Get in the car, Sister Ying.” Yang Ming opened the front passenger’s door for Zhao Ying like a gentleman. He let Zhao Ying in then he returned to the driver’s seat.
“This is the car that Zhang Bing bought?” Zhao Ying asked as she looked at the interior of the car.
“Yeah, I bought it with him. This car seems to be alright.” Yang Ming said, “Among the domestic cars, it’s not bad.”
“I didn’t notice that Zhang Bing was quite rich.” Zhao Ying laughed.
“He seems to be not bad, but this kid isn’t as rich as me now.” In front of the woman he liked, Yang Ming unconsciously showed off a little.
“You? You won a prize?” Zhao Ying asked after a moment.
“Sister Ying, are you belittling me? Besides winning a prize, can’t I make money on my own?” Yang Ming was a little dumbfounded. Fortunately, Zhao Ying didn’t question whether or not he had money but directly guessed where the money came from.
“No, I know Zhang Bing’s family conditions are good.” Zhao Ying explained, “I remember that your family didn’t seem to be rich.”
“This is true, but after I went to college, I made a lot of money. At least, it isn’t a problem to support you.” Yang Ming smiled.
” Ah ?” Zhao Ying’s face suddenly turned red. He wants to “support me”? What did that mean?
When he saw Zhao Ying’s expression, Yang Ming knew that his words were a bit ambiguous. He said with a smile, “I mean, a brother supporting his sister, that is…”
” Ah … I know…” Zhao Ying’s face blushed a crimson red. In this decade, love between an older woman and a younger man existed. Moreover, there were a lot of cases. So, Yang Ming’s words were simply getting more ambiguous.
Fortunately, they soon arrived at the coffee house which Yang Ming mentioned. Yang Ming stopped the car and said to Zhao Ying, “We’re here.”
“Six University Students Coffee House” is a feature near Song Jiang Industry University. Most of the students who went to the university here have visited this place. The popularity was exuberant. Many couples came here to date. Of course, the biggest reason was that the prices here were cheap. There was no minimum consumption. The atmosphere of the couple’s booth is also very warm, which undoubtedly attracted many guests.
“Why is it called Six University Students Coffee House? Isn’t this name quite strange?” Zhao Ying asked while pointing at the signboard of the coffee house.
” Haha , I found it strange at the beginning. Later, others explained it to me. The reason why it is called Six University Student Coffee House is that this coffee house was created by six alumni.” Yang Ming smiled while explaining, “These six college students were in a dormitory. After graduation, they didn’t find a satisfactory job, so they discussed it with each other and opened this coffee house. The six people are the bosses and waiters at the same time. The operation just goes on like that. Since they also came from the student era, they know what the current students like. They also understand the student’s consumption level, so the location of this coffee house is accurate and the business is very prosperous. And, it stayed like this until the present. It’s already been four to five years.”
“So that’s the case. There is such an interesting legend!” Zhao Ying sighed after listening. “The six students are also business-minded.”
“Yeah. In fact, it’s the same across all the industries. As long as the industry’s need is grasped, it will certainly be successful.” Yang Ming also nodded deeply and agreed with it. He was like this now. Wasn’t he still looking for an opening in the jewelry industry?
He walked into the coffee house together with Zhao Ying. The waiter who provided them the service was one of the six college student bosses. “Where do you want to sit?”
“Is there a couple’s booth available?” asked Yang Ming.
“Yes, I will take you over there.” One of the bosses said.
One of the bosses brought Yang Ming and Zhao Ying to a double seated couple’s booth inside. This couple’s booth was very interesting. There was a bench for two people and also a small table in front. There was no seat on the opposite side as well. This saved a lot of space and allowed the coffee house to accommodate more guests.
Moreover, on each side of the booth, there were curtains sheltering them. With that, intimacy between the couple wouldn’t be seen by others. Yang Ming had never been here before, but he only heard about it from Zhang Bing once.
The atmosphere in the booth was awesome. There were some dim lights which made the cold winter full of warm feelings.
“What do the both of you want to order?” One of the bosses asked.
“What do you have? It’s our first time here.” Yang Ming asked one of the bosses.
