The negotiations went smoothly. Song Yunshen was indeed an excellent person in all aspects. He did nothing to make Mr. Meng like him. If he visited him a few more times, even Meng Yongnian might be convinced by him.

They also say that it will always be the Meng family's treasure, but maybe after some time, the Meng family's treasure will change hands.

What Meng Zijin didn't expect was that the online hot searches were removed promptly a few days after the press conference. Apart from a series of comments expressing envy, it did not have a particularly big impact on Meng Zijin online or in real life.

On the contrary, many classmates in the school asked her to gossip about Song Yunshen in person, and it was very lively.

Even Professor Gao himself caught up with her to find out the actual situation.

“Don’t you want to ask me how I feel about seeing my two most proud students getting together?” Although Professor Gao is approaching sixty, he is always in the front row watching the fun.

Meng Zijin laughed dryly twice and quietly stretched out his hand to pretend to be a microphone . " Okay, then let's interview Professor Gao about what he thinks about Song Yunshen liking Meng Zijin?"

Professor Gao cleared his throat seriously and said , " As their teacher, I am very optimistic about this matter and sincerely wish them a happy marriage soon."

Meng Zijin , "... "

She shouldn't have been having fun with this old naughty boy who was about to retire.

"Yun Shen is a reliable man. He will definitely be a man worth relying on in the future. I saw it before. This guy is definitely interested in you. He secretly listened to you playing the piano and sponsored your music department to buy new instruments. He came to school every few days. Someone uploaded new information about you on the forum every day. I thought, it's almost time, you two will be together."

Meng Zijin sat with his legs stretched out, his hands on both sides, looking up at the sky. He seemed distracted, but in fact he was thinking seriously about what Professor Gao said.

"Did you hear that?" Professor Gao patted her on the back, and seeing her like this, he immediately returned to his usual tone when he lectured her.

"Yes, I heard it. Why was he eavesdropping on me playing the piano?" Meng Zijin continued the topic perfunctorily.

"I like you." Professor Gao laughed.

Meng Zijin , "... "

"You will graduate in a month." Professor Gao suddenly sighed, and then said in a low voice, "You graduate and I retire. This long teaching career of several decades is about to end. I have taught too many students and I can't remember many of them. You graduated in the year I retired. You said that we have interacted a lot in these four years of college, but you don't know how to listen to your teacher."

"Ah, listen, you talk and I'm listening." Meng Zijin guessed that Professor Gao was going to play the sentimental card, so she suppressed a smile and agreed with him.

"Just promise Yun Shen and give it a try to be with him." Professor Gao said earnestly.

Meng Zijin sneered , " Why do you have to make me be with him? What if we're not suitable?"

"It won't be inappropriate." Professor Gao said firmly.

Meng Zijin still did not express his opinion, but just nodded and smiled.

"Don't just nod your head." Professor Gao said anxiously, "Tell me what you think."

Meng Zijin patted Professor Gao on the shoulder and said , " You were bribed by Song Yunshen to serve as my lobbyist."

"No!" Professor Gao sighed heavily, "I just thought that the boy is almost 30 years old and finally has a girl he really likes, but he can't get her, so I didn't want to match you up."

Meng Zijin laughed unkindly , " Oh, you're almost thirty."

Professor Gao understood the implication and said with some embarrassment , " Yes, he is a little older than you."

Meng Zijin continued to smile and nodded.

Professor Gao spoke incoherently , " Although he is older, he is not a playboy. Although he is older, he has never been in a relationship. He is definitely a good match for you."

Meng Zijin had tried his best to hold back his laughter, but it broke down in seconds after he heard it.

Song Yunshen, who had been standing behind the two and listening to a lot of their conversation, finally couldn't help but show up with a dark face to interrupt Professor Gao. If he didn't show up, the situation would only get worse.

"Okay, just talk nonsense to her." Song Yunshen was still wearing a black suit. He was obviously so angry after hearing what Professor Gao said that he put his hands on his hips.

"You're talking nonsense." Professor Gao stood up when he saw him coming. "Go ahead and have a good chat. Don't worry about me, an old man who is about to retire, when you are old enough."

Song Yunshen had no choice but to sit down next to Meng Zijin in front of Professor Gao , " Okay, take care."

Meng Zijin grinned but didn't laugh out loud.

"Professor Gao ... I didn't ask Professor Gao to tell you this." Song Yunshen didn't know how to explain it in a way that would make it more credible.

"Yeah." Meng Zijin nodded slightly, and couldn't help laughing when he thought about the fact that he was nearly thirty years old. "I know."

Song Yunshen glanced at her and sighed silently.

June is midsummer, and the cicadas are chirping in the south. Meng Zijin is wearing a yellow and white floral dress, and she looks much thinner than when they first met.

A small one.

I think I can lift it with one hand.

After the press conference, they rarely met. Meng Zijin was obsessed with studying all day and stayed in school, and even An Ku was rarely seen.

Song Yunshen had looked for An Ku to find out what was going on, but he didn't get anything out of him. An Ku was too straightforward, and when it came to something related to his profession, he wouldn't be distracted to notice something wrong with a girl.

"You really have never been in love?" Meng Zijin asked with a smile, slightly sideways.

Song Yunshen sighed again, leaned forward and put his elbow on his thigh, looking at the couples in love on the football field in the distance , " No."

"Why?"

Guessing that she would ask this next question, Song Yunshen tilted his head slightly and couldn't help but laugh , " I haven't caught up with the person I like yet."

Meng Zijin , "... "

Here we go again.

What made her extremely worried was that he was teasing her and putting so much effort into pursuing her.

It seemed like it was premeditated, like there was some ulterior motive.

"Besides me?" Meng Zijin traced back to when she first met him, "You took me to a birthday party before, and wasn't the protagonist your ex-girlfriend?"

"Not an ex-girlfriend." Song Yunshen answered affirmatively.

"She likes you." Meng Zijin could see it at a glance.

"I know." Song Yunshen noticed her arrogant expression and couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "But I don't like her. I like you."

Meng Zijin blinked unnaturally and reached out to take his hand away.

I like you.

It has been such a long time, and I know that he likes me, but this is the first time I hear him say this.

"I want to ask you a favor." Meng Zijin pursed his lips and suddenly became serious, so nervous that the last word trembled slightly.

Song Yunshen frowned slightly , " What's wrong?"

"After the graduation ceremony in the middle of next month, I will go to the UK to study piano for two years." Meng Zijin said quietly and slowly.

Song Yunshen listened carefully and waited for her to finish speaking.

"Two years later, we will be together." Meng Zijin's heartbeat reached its peak at this moment, and his neck was hot with nervousness.

Song Yunshen was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. These words really didn't sound real.

After all, before he could get excited, Meng Zijin continued , " But I don't want to go to England. I need you to cover for me, or to hide it from the Meng family."

In the next two years, she will learn photography from Anku and truly get in touch with and enter the photography industry, but she cannot be photographed by the media, and she cannot be discovered by the Meng family that she is not in the UK.

Song Yunshen looked straight at her and still said nothing.

Meng Zijin knew that he couldn't take it back, so he continued , " If you agree, from today on you will be my boyfriend in name only, and then you will cooperate with me to keep it a secret from the Meng family for two years. After two years, you can decide on your relationship with me, girlfriend, fiancée, or even get married directly. I agree to all of it."

Finally finishing his words, Meng Zijin couldn't control his inner uneasiness, and his knuckles were trembling faintly.

She acted like someone who was willing to use herself as a bargaining chip, trample on feelings, and sacrifice her love in order to achieve her goals. Song Yunshen must have felt that he had chosen the wrong person.

When saying these words, Meng Zijin had already imagined the outcome and was ready, but at this moment, she held her breath and waited, staring at Song Yunshen intently, but Song Yunshen was reluctant to express his opinion.

There wasn't even any expression on his face.

He must be ready to hate her.

Meng Zijin bit her lip subconsciously.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and the wind rustled the leaves. A faint swaying light circle fell on the two people. After a while, Song Yunshen opened his lips, and a hint of tenderness seeped out of his eyes . " Okay, I agree."

He didn't ask her anything, not where she was going or what she was doing.

Meng Zijin blinked, a thin layer of sweat seeping out of her clenched hands. After avoiding Song Yunshen's gaze, she deliberately raised her voice , " Okay, then it's settled. You help me, and in two years ... "

"Marry me in two years." Song Yunshen interrupted, "My condition is that I will marry you in two years."

Meng Zijin took a long time to digest each word.

She was stunned for a moment, still feeling like she had fallen into Song Yunshen's trap.

It was easy for him to help her, and in the end it was still easy for him to get her to marry him.

The founder of Cong Ting is indeed extraordinary.

It was twelve o'clock late in the night and Meng Zijin had been standing on the balcony of his home at No. 17 Yungang for a full hour. The wind was very strong tonight and the more it blew, the more awake he became.

My mind is in a mess, so naturally I have no desire to sleep.

A big reason why she didn't reject Song Yunshen in the past few months was that she had thought about this day a long time ago. She thought Song Yunshen would help her, but she didn't think about marrying him two years later.

She really just spoke too quickly today because she was in a hurry.

I didn't expect to sell myself.

If Meng Yongnian and Xu Qiang knew about this, they would skin her alive.

Returning to the bedroom from the balcony, Meng Zijin picked up the phone beside the pillow, saw several missed calls and clicked on them.

Unknown caller.

But six were played.

It’s not difficult to guess that it’s Song Yunshen.

Meng Zijin didn't call back, but clicked on WeChat to check the message he sent.

There wasn't much news, just asking her to go to bed early and he would do his best to help her.

【Qing Qing Zi Jin】: Can’t sleep.

When she was with Song Yunshen, she could always say whatever she wanted to say, without any pressure or worries, and she could joke around. Over time, it had become a habit.

She is so presumptuous just because people like her.

Meng Zijin didn't know whether this habit was good or bad.

[S]: I'm not going to marry you tomorrow, so relax.

Meng Zijin was quite surprised by his immediate reply.

[S]: Make a phone call?

Meng Zijin was stunned and replied hastily with a "no".

[Qing Qing Zi Jin]: I’m going to bed. See you tomorrow.

【S】：Okay, good night.

Meng Zijin hurriedly crawled back into the quilt, not knowing what he was so nervous about.

Song Yunshen closed the book and put it on the bedside table. When he lay down, he was still holding his phone and staring at the words "See you tomorrow".

Very good, guaranteed profit.
