Chapter 63: Moving in Opposite Directions
"Ma......" Tianyou complained about his mother's words, but when he saw Meng'er, they were stuck in his throat. "Meng'er, how did you end up here?"
He received a call from his mother, saying that she had bought too many things at Tianyi Department Store and asked him to come and help her carry them. He said, "Why not ask the driver to pick you up?" She refused and even gave an ultimatum: if he didn't come, she would arrange for a group of elegant ladies to take turns going on blind dates with him! With no other choice, he put down his work and rushed over to find the counter she mentioned, only to discover that Meng Er was also there.
Meng Er looked like he had seen a lifesaver, with an overjoyed expression, knowing that this was definitely another one of his mother's pranks to give him the opportunity to show off his gentlemanly demeanor.
"Brother Tian!" Meng'er looked at him with a surprised expression, her slightly worried little face suddenly relaxed.
Qing Tianyou walked away, patted Meng'er's head. The intimate action made Meng'er feel embarrassed, but the two people beside her looked like they were enjoying the show, making Meng'er's face even redder. However, the person who did this action was nonchalant, as if it was a usual thing to do.
"Come on, son! Take these with you." Tian's mom directed her son to work, "Then send us back home and let me treat these two lovely girls to a meal!"
"Uh, let's not go, Mother of Heaven!" Meng'er said, meeting Yan'er's rejecting gaze.
"On the weekend, you guys don't have to go to school, right? If there's nothing else going on, let's just grab a quick bite to eat. Then I'll send you back to school!" With that, Jing Tianyou picked up the bag from the ground and strode out with his long legs."
The mother looked at her son's back, feeling satisfied with everything about him except his attitude towards love. Look at Meng Er, what a lovely girl she is! It's been over ten years now, why doesn't he take the initiative and make a move? Instead, I have to worry about it myself as his mother.
Meng'er looked at the gaze of Jing Tian's mother, then swept to Jing Tian Yu who had already gone out, and then swept back. In an instant, there was a chilling feeling, as if she was a small sheep being stared at by a wolf-like mother.
"Hehe, Meng'er, Yan'er, let's go!" Tian Mama sensed the lingering fear in Meng'er's expression and immediately withdrew her thoughts, beckoning to them.
The child pulled her hand and followed behind Tianyou's mother as they walked out.
Meng'er looked ahead with steady steps, although her hands were full of bags, she still maintained an elegant demeanor. In her heart, she silently sighed: Meng'er, your taste is indeed good! No wonder you used to pursue him relentlessly in the past. Now, I also feel that he's a rare and good man. However, unfortunately, my heart belongs to someone else!
"Meng'er..." Yan'er gently shook her hand, bringing her back to her senses.
Only a hundred meters away from the turn, Yan Yi and a few people walking beside him were discussing something while walking, with someone next to him taking notes, but there was no Yu Wenfeng following beside him. Meng Er's footsteps stiffened, unsure of how to proceed. From last night till now, he hadn't made a single phone call to her. To say she wasn't disappointed would be a lie!
Just as he brushed past Jing Tianyou, he looked up and saw Meng'er standing there in a daze. At the same time, Jing Tianyou also stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her.
"Son, what's wrong?" Tian Tian's mother asked curiously as everyone stopped there, the atmosphere was eerie!
"Never mind, you take it, give it to your daughter-in-law!"
Pfft, Tianma laughed. Looking at her son's unchanged noble face for thousands of years, now saying such cute words, she immediately reached out to take the bag in Tianyao's hand. She also said: "Son, add oil!"
Jing Tianyou took the bag off his right hand and handed it to her. Then, he stepped over Yan Yi who was still standing there. He walked to Meng Er's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and led her forward. Xian Er timely let go of Meng Er's hand, gave Jing Tianyou a thumbs up in her heart, quickened her pace, took the bag from Jing Tianyou's mother's hand, and held it up!
Meng'er didn't expect that Jing Tianyou would do such a thing, and she also didn't think that the person wouldn't even say a word of farewell. Her heart couldn't help but ache. In the end, were they still going to go their separate ways?
Meng'er was carried by Jing Tianyou as he walked out of the department store and into the car, completely unaware...
Yan Yi, still stiff there, after a long time, finally said to the person beside him: "Continue the topic we were discussing earlier..."
The car drove up to the entrance of Jing Tianyou's house: "You go in first, I'll go back to the company and deal with some things!" Jing Tianyou said to them.
"Son, remember to come back early!" Tian Tian's mom knew her son was a workaholic and didn't keep him any longer. Anyway, she had two lovely kids by her side now!
She called the housekeeper to bring some snacks, letting them play first, and then went back to her room to change into casual clothes. When she saw that Meng'er and the others were not on the sofa, she was about to ask the housekeeper where they had gone. Then she saw two figures silhouetted against the floor-to-ceiling window, in the place where she usually practiced calligraphy.
She walked over and took a look. It turned out that they were looking at the words and paintings she had left behind. On the desk, there was also a piece of writing with still-wet ink: Tears fall like flowers when I feel the time, my heart is startled by the bird's farewell!
"Your handwriting is great, the strokes are elegant and the rhythm is vivid! However, the poem you chose doesn't quite match your status. At this young age, you should choose some more uplifting and beautiful poems to practice writing, to cultivate your mind!" Tian Mama said, looking at the words, speaking to Yan Er.
Embarrassed, he looked at his mother and said: "Mother, you..."
"What you said is absolutely right!" Meng'er hastily took over the conversation, "Why does Yan'er love these poems that look so sad and melancholic?"
"Meng'er, you..." Yan'er didn't understand why Meng'er suddenly interrupted her and before she could ask, Meng'er had already taken over the conversation.
"Hmm, I don't like these! Hehe......" Before she could finish laughing, Tian Tian's mom slapped her on the head. "Meng Er this girl doesn't like practicing calligraphy! In the past when she came to my house, I forced her to practice, but she would run away in less than a minute!"
Yan'er stared at Meng'er with wide eyes, and Meng'er winked at her twice, smiling as she led her away.
When night fell, Jing Tian returned home. Under his mother's instructions, they started having dinner. The atmosphere during the meal was warm and harmonious... Finally, after his mother repeatedly reminded him to visit her often, Meng Er promised to do so, and only then did she reluctantly let them return to school.
The car drove to the school gate, and Meng Er and her friends got off. In the car, Qiang Tianyou spoke up: "Meng Er..." Meng Er, who had just opened the car door, turned back to look at him, "Nothing, take care of yourself!"
"Alright, Meng'er will! Thanks, Ge Tian brother!" Meng'er gave him a grateful smile and then closed the car door.
Qing Tianyu started the car and left their line of sight. Actually, he just wanted to ask: "You and him, like this, is it still possible?" But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to ask!
Although he loves, he also has an extremely arrogant and proud mentality. He doesn't want the one he loves to be humbled! However, he will wait!
