Chapter 232 Let’s go to your place tonight
At around 7 o’clock in the evening, Ying Chanxi followed Ying Zhicheng, took a plane from London, and landed at the airport in Ohio smoothly.
After arriving in Cleveland by car, Ying Zhicheng arranged to stay in the best hotel in the area.
"Dad is going to meet a friend tonight. If you are hungry, you can have a meal in the hotel restaurant, okay?" Ying Zhicheng said to Ying Chanxi before going out, "I asked Secretary Rong to I'll go down with you for dinner later."
"Oh, no problem." Ying Chanxi nodded and watched her father go out. Then he took out his phone and took a few photos of the night view outside the hotel. Sent it to him.
But after a while, Li Luo didn't respond.
So Ying Chanxi couldn't wait and called Li Luo.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the call was finally connected.
Li Luo's weak and vague voice came from the other end: "Hello? Who is it?"
"I, what are you doing?" Ying Chanxi asked, "Are you sleeping in? ?”
"Xixi..." Li Luo muttered twice, probably rubbing his eyes, and managed to wake up a little, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just want to chat with you, but If you are still sleeping, forget it. You can continue sleeping."
"It's okay." Li Luo yawned, got off the bed, walked into the bathroom and washed his face, "I got up, then. Let’s chat.”
“Didn’t you go to the store to help today? Is it already seven o’clock in the morning?” Ying Chanxi turned over on the bed, facing up, holding the phone to his ear. side.
After rubbing his feet hard for a few times, he took off his shoes to the ground, revealing a pair of small feet wearing white socks.
"Well... I stayed up late last night and slept a little late." Li Luo picked up the disposable toothbrush and toothpaste in the hotel bathroom, put the phone on speakerphone and put it aside, and started to wash up.
After finishing coding last night, Xu Youyu and I went out for a late-night snack and drank some beer.
When I came back, I brought some peanuts and melon seeds. I continued drinking when I returned to the house, eating melon seeds while drinking and chatting.
Because Xu Youyu had just written a plot that he was very satisfied with, he took Li Luo and kept talking about the book.
We chatted from midnight to about three o'clock in the morning. Li Luo roughly provided Xu Youyu with some inspiration based on "The Age of Literature" that he had watched in his previous life. I took my notebook and quickly wrote down these inspirations one by one.
Later, both of them drank a little too much.
Then...then...then what happened?
Li Luo can’t remember clearly.
But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the bathroom.
Li Luo looked up at the mirror and saw a figure with dazed eyes walking in from the bathroom door.
Xu Youyu rubbed his eyes, as if he had not woken up. After walking into the bathroom, he muttered: "You... um!"
As soon as he uttered a word, Xu Youyu felt Li Luo in front of him swayed and rushed in front of him in an instant.
With a bang, she was pushed to the wall by Li Luo, covering her mouth to prevent her from making any sound.
Xu Youyu woke up immediately after being treated by her, whimpering and struggling.
Until Li Luo gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear: "Shh! I'm on the phone with Xixi, don't make any noise!"
Hearing this, Xu Youyu finally reacted, blinked his eyes, turned his head and looked at the sink, and saw the cell phone that was on a call.
"You scared me." Xu Youyu put aside Li Luo's hand and whispered angrily, "I thought you were going to do something, but you suddenly turned into a beast so early in the morning."
Li Luo's face was covered with black lines, and he complained in a low voice: "It's not all you. You drank so much last night that you slept directly with me. I forgot about it when I woke up in the morning."
"Isn't this a fun chat." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "I don't mind, what are you afraid of? It's not like we haven't slept together before."
"Li Luo, what's wrong?" The phone said Ying Chanxi's confused voice came from the head, "Are you talking to someone?"
"Oh, it's okay." Li Luo let go of Xu Youyu, quickly returned to the sink, and said nonsense, " A courier was delivered to my door just now, so I went to get it."
"Then why did I hear a bang?"
"I just woke up and was a little confused. , I bumped into the door when I walked out of the bathroom. "Ah? Are you okay?"
"It's okay."
Xu Youyu on the side rolled his eyes when he heard Li Luo lying here, then rolled his eyes and thought of something interesting.
So while Li Luo was chatting with Ying Chanxi and washing up, Xu Youyu quietly walked up to Li Luo and blew into his ear.
Li Luo: "???"
[What are you doing? 】
Li Luo spoke with his mouth, covered his itchy ears, looked at Xu Youyu with wide eyes, and asked silently.
【Do you care about me? 】
Xu Youyu smiled proudly, took out a new pair of disposable toothbrushes from the sink, stood next to Li Luo and started washing.
Seeing this, Li Luo wiped the corners of his mouth after brushing his teeth and quickly slipped out of the bathroom.
"I just came to the United States with my dad, but I didn't go to places like New York or San Francisco. I came to Ohio in the north."
Ying Chanxi didn't pay much attention to that place. He excitedly shared his itinerary with Li Luo, "But my dad said he was going to meet a friend, so he asked me to stay in the hotel first."
"That's it." Li Luo nodded, sat down at the desk, and opened his laptop, "Then haven't you eaten yet?"
At the moment, he was chatting with Ying Chanxi and had nothing to do. , just write an outline of a novel or something.
"Not yet, let's go eat right away." Ying Chanxi said, "You also remember to have breakfast, and don't stay up late all the time, it's not good for your health."
"I know, I'll listen to you."
"It's good to know." Ying Chanxi turned over happily, raised her little feet, and swayed in the air, "But things from abroad feel weird. It tastes bad and not to my liking. The food in the Chinese restaurant also tastes weird. I really want to eat your food."
"There will be plenty of opportunities to eat it when you come back," Li Luo responded with a smile. , "Are you sure when you will return to China?"
"Well, dad said that he has booked a flight back on the 15th, but it will probably be late at night when he gets home." Ying Chanxi said, "Dad said that he has made an appointment with your parents to go shopping for New Year's goods together on the 16th, and then we will go back to the countryside together on the 17th."
"Okay, I'll wait until you come back."
"Yeah~" Ying Chanxi nodded, and there was a knock on the door. It was Secretary Rong who came to come downstairs for dinner, so she said to the other end of the phone, "I'm going to eat, you Remember to have breakfast too, bye~"
"Bye"
By the time Li Luo hung up the phone, Xu Youyu had already finished washing, walked out of the bathroom, threw himself on the bed, and wrapped himself in a quilt: "Why did Xixi call you so early in the morning? I was sleeping well." Zhengxiang was woken up.”
“It’s night time there, and there’s a time difference between her place and ours.” Li Luo put the phone aside and took advantage of the moment to wake up. Word for a while.
But Xu Youyu, who was on the bed, heard the sound of him typing on the keyboard, and immediately complained silently: "Are you sick? Are you getting up so early in the morning to type? Can't you just sleep a little longer?"
"I advise you to go back to your room quickly even if you want to sleep." Li Luo complained while typing on the keyboard, "What if your dad doesn't wait for noon later and comes upstairs to call us to prepare for lunch? Then I saw you in my room again. How will I explain it then?"
"Hey..." Upon hearing this, Xu Youyu jumped up from the bed, "If you didn't remind me earlier, you would have slipped away. It's gone."
With that said, Xu Youyu jumped out of bed, picked up his notebook, and prepared to go back to his room to catch up on his sleep.
But as soon as he reached the door, Xu Youyu turned to look at Li Luo and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, do you think we are having an affair? It's like we are secretly meeting with the underground party."< br>
Hearing this, Li Luo immediately rolled his eyes: "Go to sleep quickly."
"It's just a collection of materials, you are so boring." Xu Youyu curled his lips, opened the door and walked out of the room, facing He waved his hand and slipped back to his room.
After Xu Youyu left, Li Luo coded for a while until nine o'clock in the morning, when his cell phone rang again. Li Luo originally thought that Ying Chanxi came to find him again after eating.
I picked up the phone and looked at it, only to find that the call was from Yan Zhusheng.
“Hello?”
“Li Luo, are you busy?”
“I feel like you like to pick me up when I’m coding.”
"It's because you are too diligent. It's still morning over there."
"The early bird catches the worm. If you want to make more money, don't you have to get up in the morning and work hard?"
"So you want to code?"
"If you insist on chatting with me, you can't take a break."
"Then take a break." Yan Zhusheng said, "Mom went out to meet friends, and I was a little bored alone."
Upon hearing this, Li Luo was stunned for a moment.
Ying Zhicheng went out to meet friends, and Yuan Wanqing also went out to meet friends?
What was Ying Chanxi talking about just now... She and her father just arrived in Ohio, the United States...
"By the way, you and your mother are in the United States, right?"
< br>"Yes."
"Where in the United States?"
"Cleveland." Yan Zhusheng said honestly, "Cleveland Medical Center, their research on heart disease and medical conditions They are the best in the world. My mother’s heart disease was cured here.”
“Cleveland...is it in Ohio?”
“Yes, why? ”
“Uh...nothing.”
Li Luo blinked, probably having some guesses in his mind.
He just found out a while ago that the film and television group company where Yuan Wanqing worked was the same company where Ying Zhicheng usually worked.
Strictly speaking, the relationship between the two people is still superior and subordinate?
One thing is that they all happened to be in the same place in the same company, and they all said they were going out to meet a friend.
Li Luo felt that there should not be such a coincidence in this world.
Moreover, this made Li Luo think of another thing.
He remembered that in his previous life, when he had just entered college, when he went home for dinner during the Chinese New Year, his father casually mentioned at the dinner table that Ying Zhicheng was getting married for the second time.
It’s just that at that time, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi had not been in contact with each other for several years, so they didn’t care much about this matter.
After all, Ying Zhicheng’s conditions were excellent, so it would be very easy for him to get married for the second time.
But now it seems that after Li Luo pondered for a moment, a very surprising guess came to his mind.
It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?
But logically speaking, given Ying Zhicheng’s level, negotiating endorsement contracts or something like that does not necessarily require him to personally take action.
Looking at the fact that he took Ying Chanxi to Paris and London for a total of four or five days. The contract was signed so easily. Is it necessary for Ying Zhicheng to personally take action?
I arrived in Ohio today on the 9th. It is mainly agriculture, mining and manufacturing. It has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, and it is not a famous tourist city.
In other words, Ying Zhicheng went to Ohio purely to meet friends.
What kind of friend wants to see each other for five or six days in a row? Do you want to stay until the 15th?
……
Cleveland, in a private room of a high-end restaurant.
Ying Zhicheng changed into a crisp custom-made suit and sat quietly on the window seat.
It wasn't until the phone on the table vibrated that he looked away from the night outside the window and picked up the phone to connect.
"Hello?"
"Are you here?"
"Okay, a waiter will bring you up."
"See you later."
Hang up After disconnecting the call, not long after, the door of the box was pushed open by the waiter.
Following the waiter was Yuan Wanqing, who was wearing a black dress.
Ying Zhicheng, who was sitting on the chair, had already stood up, picked up a handful of white violets that had been prepared from the cabinet next to him, and handed it to Yuan Wanqing with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Ying." Yuan Wanqing smiled reservedly, took the bouquet of flowers, held it in her arms, and politely thanked her.
"In private, you don't need to call me that, right?"
"Zhicheng... let's sit down first." Yuan Wanqing walked to the table holding the flowers, lowered her head and smelled the fragrance of the flowers. , "Thank you for the flowers, I like them very much."
"Just put it aside if you like it." Ying Zhicheng helped her open the seat, took the bouquet into her hands, and then handed it to the waiter next to her, asking her to insert it into the vase she had prepared, and then returned to the opposite side. He took his seat and said, "The food is ready to be served."
"In fact, you don't have to come all the way here to see me." Yuan Wanqing smiled helplessly, "It's a bit too much trouble."
< br>"It's okay." Ying Zhicheng shook his head, "I originally planned to take my daughter on a trip, but I just stopped by to see you."
"Is it just a drop-in?" Yuan Wanqing clasped her hands together and supported her chin, Look at him with smiling eyes.
“Okay.” Ying Zhicheng admitted, “I just made a special trip to see you, but it’s true that I am traveling with my daughter.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
"It should be." Ying Zhicheng said, "What are the reexamination results?"
"Everything is normal." Yuan Wanqing smiled, "As long as you don't participate in particularly strenuous exercise or have severe emotional ups and downs , basically just like normal people."
"That's good." Ying Zhicheng nodded, raising the red wine glass in his hand, "We have to celebrate."
"The doctor said it's best not to drink."
"Don't worry, your glass is sour plum juice."
"You are really thoughtful." Yuan Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled, picked up the glass and clinked it with him, "But don't drink too much, you are old It’s better to drink less wine.”
“Of course, I will drink a little when I am happy.”
It’s a very enjoyable meal.
The two of them were eating and chatting until after nine o'clock in the evening when they saw the two of them coming out of the restaurant.
Ying Zhicheng held Yuan Wanqing's shoulder with his right hand and whispered in her ear: "Shall I take you back?"
Yuan Wanqing glanced at him and chuckled: "Duplicity. ."
As she spoke, she leaned into Ying Zhicheng's arms and whispered, "Let's go to your place."
