Long Time Loved Friend - Chapter 48
The previous good mood disappeared the moment the door was opened.
The cell phone she had left on the coffee table vibrated, pulling Yun Zhi back from her thoughts.
She breathed a sigh of relief and clicked on the message. It was Yu Mingxia who was asking what kind of fruit she ate just now.
Seeing this sentence, Yunzhi knew that she was also planning to make a salad. Her previous thinking was interrupted, and she began to seriously think about what fruit she had just added.
After that, Yun Zhi didn’t think of Nan Qiao again.
Just after chatting with Yu Mingxia, Jiang Yuan’an called, and the voice on the receiver was crying.
“What’s wrong with An’an? Don’t cry, speak slowly, I’m listening.” Yun Zhi was anxious and comforted her.
“I…I broke up woohoo.”
Yun Zhi, who was still anxious at first, calmed down and asked, “What happened?”
“Just… we broke up.”
“You mentioned it?”
“Ok.”
Yun Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and comforted her: “Don’t be sad, if you want her, just go to her directly, I wish Qingmeng won’t embarrass you.”
“I…”
Yun Zhi waited for her next sentence, but it took a long time to wait, but she could probably guess that she might not want to take the initiative because of her self-esteem. She knew Jiang Yuan’an, and sometimes she had a big temper and liked to talk ironically, and she would get angry for a long time.
“An’an, you need to take the initiative to tolerate each other in your relationship. Give her a step, and she won’t ignore you.”
Yun Zhi told the truth according to his understanding of the two.
Almost every once in a while these years, she would hear the news of the two quarreling and breaking up. From worrying at the beginning to getting used to it later, even Zhu Qingmeng asked her to comfort Jiang Yuanan if they had conflicts. .
“Where are you? I came to look for you?” While talking, Yun Zhi got up and prepared to pack up and go out.
“I’m not in Yuncheng, I’m in Miancheng now.”
Jiang Yuan’an’s voice was weak, but he stopped sobbing, and he sounded much better, which made Yun Zhi feel relieved.
The two chatted for a while, but Yun Zhi didn’t mention Nan Qiao.
Everyone has their own troubles. Jiang Yuan’an is already troubled enough because of emotional matters, and she doesn’t want this to make her angry again.
Yun Zhi didn’t mention Nan Qiao until he hung up the phone.
She sent a message to Zhu Qingmeng, asking about the situation of the two, but she did not receive a reply for a long time. Thinking that she was busy with work, Yun Zhi didn’t wait too long, and fell asleep after washing up.
In the early morning of the next day, according to his habit, Yunzhi got up early and went for a morning run.
At six or seven o’clock, the sky was already bright, Yunzhi opened the curtains in the room, and then went out.
The moment she closed the door, the light in the corridor turned on, and it also illuminated the person standing facing the door next door.
Yunzhi was taken aback.
Nan Qiao was wearing sportswear, with a high ponytail and a white towel on his neck and shoulders. This posture was obviously going to go for a morning run.
“Good morning,” Nan Qiao waved to her, “I just went out, I didn’t expect to scare you, sorry.”
Yun Zhi pursed her lips. Her schedule hasn’t changed much. As long as Nan Qiao remembers the days they chatted, she will know that this is her usual exercise time.
“I did something wrong yesterday. I’m sorry to disturb you, but today I didn’t deliberately wait for you. I’m sorry for scaring you.” Nan Qiao smiled and took two steps back. Before Yun Zhi could answer, she turned around Turned around and walked to the elevator.
Even the elevator stop did not wait for her to join.
It was as if it was exactly what she said, and it just happened to open the door.
After a while, Yun Zhi went to the elevator.
After the morning run, Yun Zhi was about to go to the breakfast shop that he usually likes to go to, but when he turned around, he thought of something, stopped in his steps, and went to the breakfast shop in another direction.
She basically told Nan Qiao about her morning schedule, no matter what she wanted to do, Yun Zhi didn’t want to be influenced by her.
It’s just that she didn’t expect to see Nan Qiao in that breakfast shop.
She stopped twenty meters away from the breakfast shop.
Nan Qiao glanced at her, seemed to have noticed her, and walked out of the breakfast shop.
Not in her direction, but to the other side.
Yun Zhi lost the desire to eat breakfast, sat in the square for a while, and then prepared to go home to wash and go to work.
When she walked downstairs, she saw Nan Qiao again. At that time, she and a child were squatting on the ground, and a cat was lying on its belly basking in the sun in front of it, and they were stroking it.
Yun Zhi didn’t stop, just passed by the two of them, entered the corridor and got on the elevator, but Nan Qiao didn’t follow.
She doesn’t believe that one night can make a person completely figured out.
The next day was pretty much the same. Except that I didn’t meet Nan Qiao in the morning, I would meet him inadvertently during the rest of the time.
Sometimes it’s during a morning jog, sometimes it’s a convenience store downstairs, a breakfast shop outside the community, and sometimes it’s on the way home from get off work.
Nan Qiao was not as aggressive as before, and didn’t even take the initiative to talk to her.
But it reminded her of that word – lingering.
“Are you in a bad mood these two days?”
In the office, Yu Mingxia put a cup of coffee on Yunzhi’s desk and asked.
“Is it obvious?” Yun Zhi rubbed his face before reaching out to touch the cup of coffee.
“It’s not obvious, it’s just that I’ve been paying close attention to details.” Yu Mingxia replied, leaning on his desk lightly.
Yun Zhi opened his lips, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: “It’s nothing, maybe I’ve been too tired recently.”
“Do you need a vacation?” Yu Mingxia asked in concern.
Yun Zhi shook his head.
“Can we get off work early today and have dinner together?” Yu Mingxia asked.
Yun Zhi thought for a while before saying: “Maybe it’s not going well today, I have to go back to the old house in the next few days, and it’s far away.”
“I’ll see you off?” Yu Mingxia was relatively busy these days, and Yun Zhi kept politely refusing her to send her home.
“It’s quite far. You’ve been very busy recently, so don’t worry about things like me. I’ll just take a taxi.”
Yun Zhi also didn’t want to bother Yu Mingxia, it would take an hour to drive from here to the old house, and it would take two hours to go back and forth, which is really not worthwhile.
Seeing Yunzhi’s insistence, Yu Mingxia didn’t ask any more questions, and only asked her to be careful.
Yunzhi has been looking for a house for the past two days, and she can probably guess what Nan Qiao is thinking, so she doesn’t want to waste time playing such boring games.
In the morning, Yunzhi told his family that he would go home for two days, so he received a urging call right after work.
“I’m off work, I’ll be back now, you guys eat first, don’t wait for me,” Yun Zhi cleaned up the table, waved to Yu Mingxia, and whispered, “I’m leaving first, you get off work early, bye.”
Yu Mingxia smiled and nodded.
The phone screen on the right hand side lit up, and there was a new message from Yu Chuxue on it.
[I heard that Yunzhi is looking for a house recently? Do you know about this? 】
Yu Mingxia recalled the recent chat with Yun Zhi, but the other party never mentioned this matter.
Yu Chuxue: [I also heard from Qu Lan, it seems that Yun Zhi’s assistant is helping her find out about the house. 】
Yu Mingxia frowned, subconsciously wanting to ask Yun Zhi about it.
But at the next moment, he remembered that she had just left work and was on her way home to visit her parents. It was not good to disturb her by sending messages at this moment.
Yu Mingxia recalled the work contract he signed with Yun Zhi, which seemed to mention the matter of “living”.
At this time, Yu Chuxue also sent a message:
[The contract signed with Yunzhi includes the provision of unconditional accommodation for her, I think this is your chance. 】
Yu Mingxia was silent. The first thing she thought of was not whether this was her chance, but—why did Yun Zhi suddenly want to move and what happened.
After Yun Zhi became an adult, the number of times she went home was greatly reduced, so that Yun Hao and Weng Lu would make good preparations every time she went home.
When Yunzhi arrived home, the dinner was already ready, and the dining table was full of chefs in white uniforms.
Even the servants at home came out to greet her when she came home.
Yun Zhi knew that this was the treatment she would receive when she came back after being away from home for too long. If she stayed at home for a long time, she would only be urged to leave the house.
At home, there is a rule of not talking when eating or sleeping, so Yun Hao and Weng Lu only casually asked her a few things about life at the dinner table.
After eating, Yun Zhi planned to go back to the room, but was stopped by Yun Hao and Weng Lu.
Yun Zhi turned around helplessly, she had already guessed her fate.
Let her go home first, and talk about her marital affairs second.
Sure enough, as soon as Yun Hao opened his mouth, he asked her to go home to manage the company, and even said that the two of them were old and had a few days to live, and what to do in case of an accident.
At first, when he heard it for the first time, Yun Zhi still felt sad, and even angry with the two of them for saying such words.
but now…
“Mom and Dad, don’t be too old to scare yourself, you will definitely live to be more than a hundred years old, don’t worry about it.” Yun Zhi took an apple from the coffee table and gnawed on it, answering questions selectively.
“Is this the point? The point is that I asked you to come back and take over the company.” Yun Hao didn’t get angry.
“If you all just say these things every time I come back, then I won’t come back next time.” Yun Zhi said casually, every time she came home, she was nagging the same words, and her ears were almost callused.
“Could it be that you really want to wait for your sister to come back from the entertainment industry? None of you sisters can make me feel at ease. If you are a good lady, you have to be some kind of idol, singing and dancing for others. I am not so ashamed Pass.” The more Yun Hao spoke, the angrier he became, and he began to accuse Yun Xiangxiang.
“Dad, what you said is too narrow. It’s just a dream to think about. As a father, you should understand and support it.” After hearing similar words a lot, Yun Zhi was not as anxious to refute as he was at first.
“I don’t understand enough to support? I don’t know how to support her until someone brushes her off.”
“Yes, yes.” Yun Zhi nodded in agreement.
This is true, although the two of them would chatter every time they went home, but they didn’t really intervene in what they were doing.
“And you, don’t be joking. You run out every day just to take pictures of others. You are no different from your sister.”
“Yes, yes, there is no difference.” Yun Zhi replied perfunctorily.
“Can you stop bothering her with this kind of thing when she just came back.” Weng Lu finally spoke, but Yun Zhi was not happy because she knew that she was about to face even more terrible things.
Both of them have violent tempers and often quarrel, but they have a tacit understanding in terms of children’s education, one sings the red face and the other sings the bad face.
“Alright then, let’s talk about your marriage.” Yun Hao turned his head and said to the nanny behind him, “Bring me the document on my desk.”
Yun Zhi swallowed the last bite of the apple, threw the core into the trash can, then turned on the TV, and the music was playing as soon as he turned it on.
Impartiality happened to be the draft that Yun Xiangxiang participated in.
Yun Zhi looked at Yun Hao and asked.
“Don’t look at me, it’s your mother who wants to look.”
“Didn’t you read it? You just kept your mouth shut.”
“It’s so noisy, can I not take a look?”
…
Seeing the two arguing again, Yun Zhi was helpless, and when the two had no time to pay attention to her, she went upstairs quietly.
Just in time, I ran into the nanny Zhang Juan going downstairs with the documents.
“What is this?” Yun Zhi was taken care of by Zhang Juan when she was a child, and she had a good relationship with her.
“The young lady and master of the right family were chosen for you.” Zhang Juan glanced downstairs and said quietly.
“…” Yun Zhi was helpless, “Those who don’t know think I’m living in the last century.”
“Mr. and Mrs. actually just want you to stabilize and stop running around. Although they don’t say it, they all miss you.”
Zhang Juan has stayed in this family for nearly twenty years, and she knows Yunzhi no less than Yunhao and Weng Lu.
“If you have someone you like, you should tell your husband and wife as soon as possible, so that they can feel relieved.”
After a while, Yun Zhi shook his head suddenly and said:
“I see. Don’t take this document down after all of us come up.”
Then he took the document from Zhang Juan.
Yun Zhi went back to the room and locked the door.
favorite person…
There is no one you like.
Yun Zhi lay on the big bed.
Even though she didn’t come home, the room was still cleaned. The walls were pasted with cartoon images from her childhood, and everything in the room was pink. From the desk to the bed, it was all designed by Weng Lu herself.
Even the ceiling is pink.
Yun Zhi turned over, touched the document, threw the document on the table before opening it, and wrapped himself in a quilt.
Back home, but annoying.
Yun Zhi muttered in his heart.
“beep-“
The phone vibrated when she casually threw it on the bed.
Yun Zhi stretched out his hand from under the quilt and groped a bit before getting the phone. After seeing that the caller ID was Yu Mingxia, he connected.
“Ming Xia.”
“Your voice, why do you feel that you are in a bad mood?”
“is a bit.”
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, I’m used to it.”
Yu Mingxia guessed the habit she was talking about, and asked: “Could it be that I was urged by my parents again?”
“Well, you guessed right.” Yunzhi struggled to tell what happened just now, and also mentioned the document.
“Then have you read it? Do you like it?” Yu Mingxia asked.
“No.” Yun Zhi yawned, and after talking about it with Yu Mingxia, she felt much better.
In fact, these are things that happen often, and they won’t trouble her for a long time, but the moment Yu Mingxia called, she felt wronged and couldn’t help telling her about it.
“Didn’t you say it before, if you are urged again, you can block me.” Yu Mingxia’s voice was very gentle, stating what they said before.
“It’s not that far yet. I just feel like I’m finally going home, but they keep asking me about these things, which makes me very annoyed.” Yun Zhi felt that he had too much negative energy, and asked again, “Will your parents nag you when you go home?”
The receiver on the other side was silent for a few seconds, and it took a while to hear her say: “My parents don’t care about me.”
Yu Mingxia’s answer now must be the question they talked about just now, that is, will her parents nag about her emotional matters.
“Oh, that’s quite free.” Yun Zhi replied.
While chatting, Yun Zhi felt a little sleepy, but she didn’t hang up the phone. Yu Mingxia’s voice had a hypnotic power. Several times, she fell asleep just after hanging up Yu Mingxia’s call, and this time she fell asleep directly.
When Zhang Juan woke her up the next day, Yunzhi was still a little dazed. Her face was pressed against the phone. When she got up, she felt her face was a little stiff. She rubbed it, belatedly remembering what happened last night.
She remembered that she seemed to be on the phone with Yu Mingxia.
Yun Zhi hurriedly clicked on the call log to check, the one on the top was Yu Mingxia’s name.
Call 431 minutes.
seven hours?
This means that Yu Mingxia didn’t hang up the phone after she fell asleep? Or did he fall asleep like her?
Yun Zhi looked at the numbers above in a daze. She hadn’t fallen asleep on the phone with anyone yet, let alone talked for more than seven hours.
After all, it was around five o’clock before I hung up the phone.
It seems that there should be a relatively high probability of waking up.
So Yu Mingxia must have fallen asleep on the phone just like her.
Zhang Juan stood aside after waking her up. Seeing her shocked eyes, she said, “What’s wrong?”
Yun Zhi pursed his lips, coughed lightly, and asked, “Aunt Zhang, should I not snore at night?”
“I’m not sure.” Zhang Juan answered truthfully.
Yun Zhi bit her lip, staring at this record in a daze.
During working hours, Yu Mingxia noticed that Yun Zhi seemed to be peeking at her several times, but the moment she raised her head, she would look away nonchalantly.
Yu Mingxia thought about it, but he could only think about what happened last night.
“I accidentally fell asleep last night, what did you say later?” Yu Mingxia asked.
“Are you asleep too?” Yun Zhi was surprised. She was still struggling to ask Yu Mingxia why it took so long to hang up the phone, but now it all made sense.
Yu Mingxia nodded with a light smile.
She did fall asleep, but only with the sound of her breathing.
At first, she thought that Yun Zhi had woken up, but it turned out that she was just talking in sleep, calling her name impartially.
At midnight, I don’t know what dream she had.
Seeing that her expression suddenly returned to normal, Yu Mingxia guessed that she was probably worried about the phone call in the morning, so she didn’t ask her about her dreams.
Just as Yun Zhi was about to speak, Yu Mingxia’s cell phone rang, so he didn’t make a sound, listening to her answering the call.
“Well, just hang it on the platform.”
“Yes, the property includes water and electricity, and the price can be negotiated.”
“Thanks for your hard work.”
Yun Zhi didn’t deliberately eavesdrop, but he could vaguely hear the meaning from Yu Mingxia’s words.
“Are you trying to rent out the house?”
Yu Mingxia flipped through his phone and nodded upon hearing the words: “Take a roommate to live with.”
“Why? Isn’t it good to live alone?”
“Sometimes I want to be more lively.”
“What about Yu Chuxue? Why don’t you live with her?”
“She prefers to live alone.”
Yun Zhi pursed his lips, thought for a few seconds before saying again: “Then what if the roommate you hired doesn’t get along with you?”
“I will screen, and sometimes it is normal for people to need to adjust.”
Yun Zhi blinked his eyes, he didn’t expect Yu Mingxia to say this.
She didn’t think that Yu Mingxia would be short of money, so she wanted to recruit a roommate because she simply wanted to find someone to live with? Join in the fun?
Suddenly Yun Zhi thought of something, hesitated for a while, and then asked, “Do you know that I’ve been looking for a house recently?”
Yu Mingxia seemed surprised when he heard the words, and asked, “Are you also looking for a house recently?”
Yunzhi: “…”
It makes her look narcissistic.
Yun Zhi: “Yeah, I want to move recently.”
“That’s right, tomorrow Friday, do you want to come and see the house?” Yu Mingxia said again, “Friendly price.”
Yun Zhi thought about it, and this proposal seems to be quite good.
Anyway, the two of them get along well, and they can hang out together whenever they are close.
“Tomorrow…” Yun Zhi thought for a while, and then whispered, “I have something to do tomorrow, can I do it today?”
Yu Mingxia paused, then nodded: “Yes.”
Then I thought about it carefully and made sure that the house was clean and tidy.
“However, why do you suddenly want to move?” Yu Mingxia asked.
Yun Zhi pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying, “Jiang Mei moved recently, and now a new neighbor has moved into that room, and I can’t get along with her.”
“Can’t get along?” Yu Mingxia pondered, and Yun Zhi could use the word “not to get along” to describe it. She suddenly thought of someone, and hesitated, “It can’t be Nan Qiao, right?”
Yun Zhi originally didn’t intend to bother Yu Mingxia because of this matter, but she didn’t expect that she would figure it out by herself.
Nodding helplessly: “Yes.”
Yu Mingxia was speechless, she still underestimated Nan Qiao’s despicableness.
Seeing her silence, Yun Zhi’s expression suddenly darkened, so he knew that he must be angry for her.
Quickly said: “Don’t be angry about my affairs, I can’t make decisions about other people’s houses, I just move out.”
Yu Mingxia was silent for a long time before saying, “Let’s go and see the house now.”
“Now?” Yun Zhi was surprised.
It’s only eleven o’clock, it’s work time.
“Well now,” Yu Mingxia said again, “I’m almost done with today’s work, where are you?”
Yun Zhi nodded blankly, she remembered that she is a free person, as long as the work is completed, she can leave work, Yu Mingxia is even more so now.
“Then let’s go.” While speaking, Yu Mingxia began to pick up the handbag on the table.
Yun Zhi obediently stood up and followed behind her.
Yu Mingxia’s house is closer than where she lived before, only ten minutes’ drive from the company.
When he reached the seventeenth floor, Yun Zhi was still a little dazed.
Yun Zhi followed Yu Mingxia and saw her leaning slightly, her fingertips first rested on the combination lock, but did not press it down, and moved to the fingerprint to unlock it.
“Forgot your password?” Yun Zhi was puzzled.
“Is it so obvious?” Yu Mingxia laughed.
“Yes, it’s obvious.” Yun Zhi nodded.
Yu Mingxia’s house is bigger than the place she used to live in. The most important thing is that the world outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is more open and bright. The design of the house is her favorite style, which is simple and elegant in European style.
“This is the second bedroom.” Yu Mingxia opened one of the second bedrooms and said to her.
Yun Zhi walked over, and first stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to have a look, the position was facing the sun and had a wide view.
“You can also take a look at the master bedroom.” Yu Mingxia made room for her again.
“Why? Give me the master bedroom?” Yun Zhi teased.
“Well, if you like it, you can live in the master bedroom.” Yu Mingxia replied seriously.
She was originally joking, but she didn’t expect Yu Mingxia to answer it so seriously.
Yunzhi was quiet for a few seconds, glanced casually, and then said, “I prefer the style of the second bedroom. The master bedroom is too big, and I’m afraid to live alone.”
“You mean you agree to stay?” Yu Mingxia has always been good at selecting keywords.
Yun Zhi looked around and said with a smile: “You are so sincere, can I not agree?”
It’s a discount and it’s for the master bedroom. Isn’t that what it means to let her stay here?
“I thought about it, anyway, you want someone to have fun with, and I just need a place to live, and the two of us get along well. Instead of letting you get along with others, it’s better for me to accompany you, you say yes.”
Yun Zhi felt that what he said was very reasonable, this is a choice that benefits both parties.
Yu Mingxia nodded in agreement: “You are right.”
Yun Zhi looked around for a week, and his eyes stopped on the other second bedroom, remembering that Yu Mingxia didn’t seem to mention this room to her, so he pointed and asked:
“Is that also the second bedroom?”
“My study,” Yu Mingxia tried not to panic, and said in a gentle voice, “There are some more important things in it.”
“How important?” Yun Zhi became curious.
Yu Mingxia looked at her and said seriously: “It’s very important.”
Touched by Yu Mingxia’s expression, Yun Zhi seemed to understand what she meant, and half-jokingly said: “Important that I can’t see?”
Yu Mingxia didn’t expect her to ask such a question suddenly, and was stunned for a moment.
Originally, Yun Zhi was just guessing casually. After all, when he showed her the room before, he would open the door for her to see, but this room was only mentioned to her.
“Oh, I’m joking, I understand, the study room is important.”
Talking about the importance of the study, but Yunzhi guessed in his mind about other things.
Yu Mingxia opened his lips, then fell silent.
She originally wanted to bring her here on Friday, so the study was not cleaned up, and everything in it was related to her.
Although she didn’t know how Yunzhi would react when she saw it, she could guess that she was probably shocked.
“Where is the bathroom?” Yun Zhi asked, changing the subject.
“Over there.” Yu Mingxia pointed her in the direction.
When Yunzhi came out of the bathroom, Yu Mingxia was standing in front of the refrigerator and looking for it. Seeing Yunzhi coming over, he handed her a bottle of yogurt, and said, “I changed the password, it’s your birthday.”
Yun Zhi tossed the yogurt, a little surprised: “So fast? Do you remember my birthday?”
She didn’t seem to hear the voice of the smart voice just now, so the sound insulation in this room should be quite good.
“Well, remember,” Yu Mingxia closed the refrigerator, and said again, “Come on, take a fingerprint.”
Yun Zhi curled his lips: “It is enough to have a password.”
Enough said but still obediently followed behind her.
“The things that can be done together, but you split them into two.”
After recording the fingerprints, Yun Zhi muttered softly.
Yu Mingxia chuckled, heaved a sigh of relief, feeling unreal but at ease.
“I’m going to make lunch, you watch TV for a while,” Yu Mingxia asked again, “Can you move here today?”
