Chapter 455 Hao Lei Stared at Han Bing with a Different Look in His Eyes

People have different pursuits. Some aspire for the improvement of material life and some others are in pursuit of the satisfaction of their spiritual world. However happy the material life is, if the spiritual world cannot keep pace with the material life, people will get lost sooner or later.

That was what Qin Sheng was most concerned about. During the period when he had been in Shanghai and Hangzhou, every time he had taken a bolder approach, he had reminded himself that he should try his best to take it more and more slowly so that he could put his mind at ease gradually and keep going forward in the end.

However, ever since Qin Sheng had reconciled with his family members in Tsingtao and learned about his family background, he had been totally in disorder. The psychological gap in his mind was the same as what happened when a tall building had been built from scratch yet did not have a solid foundation. After that, it took Qin Sheng three months to accept reality. However, up to now, he thought that what he had done did not work much at all.

During this period, Qin Sheng, who was seemingly occupied, had attended classes for advanced studies at Tsinghua University, paid New Year’s calls to the long-time friends and acquaintances of the Qin Family during the New Year holiday, and reunited with his grandmother in Shanghai. Following that, he had gone to Ningbo to get revenge on the Lin Family, and so on.

Even so, Qin Sheng’s mind was not at ease. The kind of feeling had become stronger and stronger recently. Qin Sheng had no idea how he could calm himself down.

Consequently, as Qin Sheng heard what Qing’er had said, he somewhat admired her. Only people who had a fulfilled spiritual world could lead a less exhausting life and live more carefreely and casually.

Qing’er, who found out that Qin Sheng was absent-minded, frowned and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

It was not until Qin Sheng heard what Qing’er had said that he came to his senses and replied, “Nothing at all. I was thinking about whether you know other melodious songs or not. Since it is a blessing for me to drop by here once, I should take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate my taste. I wonder whether I might have the chance to hear you play one more song.”

Qing’er was long used to Qin Sheng’s frivolity and cynicism. Although she had thought of Qin Sheng as a frivolous person, she changed her mind later and found out that he just had a glib tongue, who, at least, had not taken advantage of other people’s perilous state. After that, Qing’er started to treat Qin Sheng as her friend. As for the agreement they had made, she would leave it to the future.

Qing’er’s spiritual world was simple as well as fulfilled. Except for the issue related to Jiang Xianbang, she had nothing else on her mind at all. Whether it was work or other things, they mattered nothing to her at all. Moreover, her work was where her hobby lay. As for falling in love, as usual, Qing’er chose to go with the flow. Never did she overthink it.

Qing’er did not say no to Qin Sheng’s request. It was not until she had been hesitant for a while that she made up her mind and said, “Since I have been idle in recent days, I have composed a new song. Would you like to hear me play it?”

After Qin Sheng heard what Qing’er had said, he was greatly interested in her suggestion because this was the first time that he would hear Qing’er play a song that she had composed. Consequently, he nodded gladly. After that, he poured a cup of tea for himself and sat on the sofa cross-legged, waiting for Qing’er to play her new song as if he were an on-looker.

After Qin Sheng left the old-style villa on Middle Huaihai Road, he and Lao Chang drove to Pudong Airport to pick up Hao Lei, who could not stay in Xi’an any longer and came to see Qin Sheng after giving Qin Sheng a call.

After all, none of the young people could put up with being idle. Since it was the fresh start of the New Year when everybody began to be occupied, Hao Lei felt somewhat panicked. Originally, Qin Sheng had planned to reunite with him after he went back to Beijing. Unfortunately, Hao Lei could not withstand continuing to wait any longer. Moreover, since everybody was in Shanghai now, including Chang Baji and Han Bing, Hao Lei was eager to rush over here.

Qin Sheng did not say anything further, thinking that he should let Hao Lei have fun in Shanghai for a few days and go back to Beijing with him later. Following that, he would assign some tasks to Hao Lei.

Qin Sheng and Chang Baji saw Hao Lei walking out while pulling a suitcase from afar, who looked to be in a good mood. With smiles all over his face, Ha Lei, who looked radiant, walked over directly and hugged both Qin Sheng and Chang Baji enthusiastically. Following that, he said sensationally, “Lao Qin, Lao Chang, we’ve made our way back to Shanghai again.”

Qin Sheng said amusedly, “How about you deliver a speech called Back to Shanghai Again here in the arrival hall?”

Hao Lei smiled awkwardly, “Well, let’s skip that part.”

Qin Sheng replied amusedly, “All right. Let’s go back downtown first.”

It was not until they were on the way back to Lujiazui that Hao Lei was told that Qin Sheng had gone to Ningbo to get revenge on the Lin Family. He was so angry that he almost cursed at Qin Sheng in rage, asking why Qin Sheng had not taken him there. He was dying to see how the members of the Lin Family, who had been superior and mighty, had lowered their heads in front of Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng replied frankly, “I indeed did not ever think of taking you there at that moment.”

Hao Lei said helplessly, “Lao Qin, is that the right way to treat your friend?”

Qin Sheng said half-playfully, “It seems that in your opinion, we should go to Ningbo again, right?”

Hao Lei let out a long sigh as he said, “Forget it. I admit that I hung out with the wrong people. If you dare to act like that in the future, we should break up with each other.”

Knowing what Hao Lei had said was a joke, Qin Sheng did not say anything at all. Based on their friendship over the past years, they would not confront each other because of such a petty issue. As he looked back on life over the past years, he found that Hao Lei was the only one that accompanied him to the end.

All of a sudden, Qin Sheng asked without warning, “Su Qin went back to Xi’an, right?”

After Hao Lei heard Qin Sheng’s words, he was stunned. Following that, he smiled awkwardly as he said, “You knew it all, right?”

Qin Sheng sighed emotionally as he said, “I visited YOUNG Bar and was told that she had transferred the bar to someone else. According to the manager there, she had resigned and gone back to her hometown.”
