Chapter 18 Future Objects

Meng Zijin and Song Yunshen had already chosen a place to have dinner, but Zheng Yuyu were still looking at each other, as if neither of them knew each other.

Are we meeting again after a long separation?

no.

What about reconciliation?

Not really.

Guo Jiamu was nervous, trying to figure out what she was thinking.

If Zheng Yuyu had any expression on her face at this moment, he would have said something, but as soon as they met, he had a serious face, so calm that it was frightening.

"It's been three and a half years since we last met." Zheng Yuyu spoke slowly after a mental struggle with herself. The coffee brought by the waiter was almost cold before she picked it up and took a sip.

"Yeah, a long time." Guo Jiamu agreed, trying his best not to say anything else that would irritate her.

"Brother." Zheng Yuyu sighed and asked in confusion, "Do you know how famous you are in this circle? Why did you quit?"

Guo Jiamu was immersed in her calling him "brother" and it took him a long time to realize what she said.

"It doesn't matter." Guo Jiamu raised his eyebrows secretly.

Sure enough, something has to happen before she can take the initiative to care about herself.

"Not important?" The words Zheng Yuyu wanted to say just now were stuck in her throat. "Piano is not important? Then what is important? Investment banking? Guo Jiamu, you have been learning piano since you were a child, and you have finally reached the top in this circle. Now you quit just because you said it is not important. Have you ever thought about what will happen if your parents find out? They worked hard to train you, not for you to be the vice president of other companies!"

"Zheng Yu Yu." Guo Jiamu's expression was slightly stern.

Zheng Yuyu only then noticed that his emotions were somewhat out of control.

"I'm sorry." She apologized in a muffled voice.

Guo Jiamu couldn't do anything to her, and he let out a sigh , " Song Yunshen and I have known each other longer than you and Meng Zijin, and you are the vice president of Cong Ting. Can anyone take this position? I will find a chance to explain to my parents. Don't worry about your brother at such a young age."

Zheng Yuyu glared , " You are their only son. If you want to be the vice president, you should go back to Guo Corporation."

Guo Jiamu sneered and said in a gentle and persuasive way , " So who do you think is better, Cong Ting or Guo?"

Zheng Yuyu pursed her lips and said , " Of course it's Cong Ting."

"That's it." Guo Jiamu ordered an iced American coffee, took a sip, and looked at Zheng Yuyu in front of him with a smile on his face.

After not seeing her for more than three years, she looked much more lively, especially her eyes, whose double eyelids seemed to have grown open and were much bigger than before.

"But in Congting you are only the vice president, and when you return to Guo's you will be the heir." Zheng Yuyu counted on his fingers and told him the pros and cons.

Guo Jiamu listened patiently before explaining , " I have shares in Guo's, and no one else can take them away. Besides, Guo's is full of old foxes. It's too tiring to work in Guo's. It's better to follow Song Yunshen and have some free time."

Zheng Yuyu choked and suddenly felt that what he said made sense.

"Yu Yu." Guo Jiamu lowered his eyes, put away his smile and called her seriously, "I'm sorry for all these years."

Zheng Yuyu was a little confused by his sudden apology , " You don't have to say sorry, there's nothing wrong with liking someone, just don't like me anymore, our relationship ... "

At the end, Zheng Yuyu could only gesture with her hands, looking embarrassed.

After all, they had been siblings for twelve years, and she couldn't be with him no matter what.

"Brother understands." Guo Jiamu smiled and continued, "After that, can we be good friends?"

Zheng Yuyu was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to react. She replied , " Sure, if you had said you wanted to be friends earlier, I wouldn't have to keep seeing you."

Guo Jiamu laughed out loud , " You're really good at hiding from me."

Zheng Yuyu was unhappy when she heard this , " I seriously avoided you once after you returned to China, but you were the one who didn't dare to see me."

Guo Jiamu didn't reply.

Yes, it was true that he didn't dare to do so. He was afraid that he would scare her away like he did three years ago, and that she would never pay attention to him again.

"Hurry up and finish your coffee, Zijin is still waiting for me." After Zheng Yuyu finished talking, he planned to call it a day.

Guo Jiamu finished the iced Americano in front of her and stood up , " I'll take you back."

Zheng Yuyu walked in front and waved the car keys in her hand without looking back , " I have a car."

However, when he went out, he happened to meet Song Yunshen and Meng Zijin who had just finished their meal. The four of them looked at each other, and there was drama in their eyes.

Zheng Yuyu looked at Meng Zijin and opened her mouth , " Who are you going with?"

Meng Zijin pursed her lips , " You."

Zheng Yuyu howled in her heart, lamenting that finally no man could compare to her best friend in terms of handsomeness.

But Meng Zijin added , " Song Yunshen didn't drive here."

Zheng Yuyu , "... "

So if you drive over here you're going to abandon your besties?

Meng Zijin turned to look at Guo Jiamu , " Are you sending him off?"

Guo Jiamu was quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, Song Yunshen was assigned to this task.

It seems to be going well.

Song Yunshen smiled but didn't say anything. When they parted, he only said , " Be careful."

-

It was evening when they returned. The sky was filled with rosy clouds. Meng Zijin lowered the car window and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to feel the strength of the wind.

"Put your hand back." Zheng Yuyu scolded him, then emphasized word by word, "Your future partner said that you should be careful."

Meng Zijin stared at him speechlessly , " Go."

"Song Yunshen is a good guy, you can give it a try." As a good sister, Zheng Yuyu offered this constructive suggestion.

Meng Zijin held up his face and replied depressedly , " We've only known each other for a short time, let's talk later."

After all, it was just because I had some plan in my heart and felt guilty about him that I was willing to get along with him.

Meng Zijin rubbed his temple and changed the subject , " Let's not talk about me anymore, let's talk about you, how was your conversation with Guo Jiamu?"

Zheng Yuyu grinned . " It's better than I thought."

Meng Zijin immediately looked like he was about to be surprised , " Is there a chance?"

Zheng Yuyu blinked , " No, I finally talked it out."

Meng Zijin , "... "

Boring.

Zheng Yuyu started talking , " In the end, it was because of that confession that we became enemies. Although I was taken back to the Zheng family when I was a child, I kept in touch with him and our relationship was still as good. After the incident in my freshman year, I blamed myself for blocking him, but I was a coward. As long as he still liked me, I would be scared and I would have to avoid him. But now, he said he would continue to be friends with me, and the knot in my heart was finally untied."

After hearing what she said, Meng Zijin simply commented , " Men's words are lies."

"Guo Jiamu never lies to me." Zheng Yuyu said very confidently.

Meng Zijin didn't argue with her and continued to think about his own things with his eyes closed.

She didn't know if this was right, but it was the only way she could do it in the short term.

-

In April, the weather gradually warms up, and people who are about to graduate are looking for internships. Some art students like them have already signed employment agreements with institutions or music companies.

Meng Zijin has spent more than half of this month learning photography from An Ku. Before she had a mentor, she could only watch classes online or practice photography on her own. Now that there is a teacher willing to give her some advice, of course she would not refuse.

Zheng Yuyu knew that Meng Zijin was busy with work, so she didn't let her take time to practice with her. So for thirty days a month, she asked individual classmates to listen to her play.

She has tried to control the number of people to around three to five and she can perform normally.

But on the last day of practice at the end of the month, a female classmate who was listening to the piano brought her boyfriend. When Zheng Yuyu saw the stranger, her knuckles became weak and she couldn't suppress the uneasiness in her heart. In the end, she chose to give up on the pretext of feeling unwell.

The doctor said that heart disease is difficult to cure.

Maybe one day in the future I will get better, or maybe I will never get better.

Time flies. Meng Zijin spent a lot of time on photography in April. Fearing that someone at home might notice, he stopped for a while in May to concentrate on practicing the piano. Sometimes when he was tired, he helped Zheng Yuyu treat his mental illness.

In mid-May, she deliberately invited Guo Jiamu to listen to the music without telling Zheng Yuyu. Zheng Yuyu didn't realize there was an extra person in the audience until halfway through the performance. When she saw it was Guo Jiamu, the panic in her heart only surged for a moment and then disappeared.

Guo Jiamu didn't know that she had crowd phobia.

After many years, it was the first time that Guo Jiamu saw her, who had become very good, playing the piano at Ying University. There were two or three classmates listening to her performance. When they saw Guo Jiamu come in, they couldn't contain their excitement and kept laughing. After the song was over, they saw Zheng Yuyu talking to Guo Jiamu, and suddenly remembered the confession incident in their freshman year.

One of them asked excitedly , " You guys are not reunited after a long separation, are you?"

Guo Jiamu immediately explained , " No, we are good friends."

Zheng Yuyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Zijin was grinning beside him, so another classmate joked , " Sure enough, all the good-looking people hang out together."

Her words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and Meng Zijin could hear it.

Speaking of which, there are already hundreds of versions of rumors about her relationship with Song Yunshen on campus.

Meng Zijin has remained out of the matter so far.

What does it have to do with her if Song Yunshen said those words to tease her? It wasn't her, Meng Zijin, who did that.

Graduation is coming soon, and the enthusiasm will naturally subside by then.

During these two months, Meng Zijin and Song Yunshen were like dining buddies. Either I treated you to a meal or you treated me to a meal, one meal after another, just like the vaccination that Zheng Yuyu had given her early on.

It was time for dinner again in the evening. This time, Song Yunshen showed up at the south gate of the school in a grand manner, and when he arrived, he sent her a message asking her to come out.

He had her class schedule and knew when she would finish class, so he would send her messages at that time.

Meng Zijin was photographed again when she got on the car. She was sharp-eyed and saw that the device used for the secret filming was actually a camera. However, Song Yunshen suddenly spoke, interrupting her thoughts and her doubts disappeared.

"Is Gran Cottage still an old store?" Seeing that she looked tired, Song Yunshen reached out to help her adjust the chair appropriately.

Meng Zijin glanced at him. He had become accustomed to his occasional intimate gestures.

“Old shop.”

Song Yunshen curved his lips and smiled , " Close your eyes and take a nap. I'll wake you up in twenty minutes."

Meng Zijin didn't look out the window this time. He adjusted his posture to be comfortable and glanced at Song Yunshen's profile.

It would be nice to date him.
