Chapter 471 - Qin Sheng, Im Sorry (2/2)

Cao Yufeng laughed and said, “It’s surely good to go back to school. What I miss the most is the college life at Fudan University. Life at that time was comfortable and fulfilling. Now I realize the life I lead after I return from work is the most miserable one.”

Qin Sheng said faintly, “Yes, life at school is the best. Unfortunately, none of us can go back. My study at Tsinghua is not a kind of school life. After all, it is not as pure as it used to be. Unknowingly, several years have passed since we graduated from college. The four people in our dormitory, including you and me, were all present at the gathering when I just went back to Shanghai the year before last. Except for the gathering at that time, it seems that not all the attendees showed up after that. There would always be someone absent whenever there was a gathering.”

Cao Yufeng nodded and said, “Yes, only once. You were in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai respectively before. But I work hard in Beijing miserably, while I’m caught up by many trivial things in daily life. Honestly, it’s somewhat difficult for me to find you there. What’s more, you are all busy. We can’t agree on a schedule to meet each other. But the situation now is much better. At least you are in Beijing. I will have someone to drink with in the future. Hahaha.”

Qin Sheng said casually, “I will go back to Xi’an tomorrow. When I am done with the business in Xi’an, I will trick Lao San and Lao Si to come to Beijing. Then we can have a good gathering.”

Cao Yufeng said happily, “Okay, I’ll wait. I somewhat miss those two guys.”

After chatting for a while, Cao Yufeng asked Qin Sheng to order the dishes. Qin Sheng asked him directly to order the signature dish. Luo Xiu took the menu over voluntarily and placed an order. In addition to the roast duck, she also ordered four or five other signature dishes.

Other than chatting and drinking happily, they did nothing else. They didn’t even ask each other about those trivial things. Qin Sheng asked them whether they had chosen a suitable date to get married. He was looking forward to attending Cao Yufeng’s and Yu Kefei’s wedding parties. As for Xia Ding, Qin Sheng didn’t count on him anymore, who should get married much later than him.

After returning to the Qin family’s courtyard, Qin Changan, who went out early and returned home late, had still not returned. Qin Sheng began to pack up his stuff, intending to go back to Xi’an the next morning and solve what had plagued his mind.

It was Friday that day. The Song family’s courtyard was livelier. Song Ruyu and Song Hesheng had returned to visit their grandfather at the same time. Usually, they both lived in their households, only gathering at that place during the Spring Festival and other holidays. After dinner, they chatted with Old Master Song in the main hall and talked about some trivial things. It was not until the Old Master was ready to have a rest that Song Hesheng called Song Ruyu. Sitting on the stone pier in the courtyard, they had things on their minds respectively.

Song Hesheng said thoughtfully, “Ruyu, I heard that you met the boy from the Qin Family in Shanghai, didn’t you?”

Song Ruyu replied gently, “How did you know?”

“That’s none of your business,” Song Hesheng said in a low voice, “Ruyu, I don’t know what you’re thinking about. But I want to tell you that the boy from the Qin Family doesn’t deserve you. If you’re interested in him, you’d better get him out of your mind as soon as possible.”

“Brother, what’s wrong with you? I’ve only seen him a few times. Why do you think I’m interested in him?” Song Ruyu laughed and said, “How do you know what I’m thinking about and whom I keep in my mind?”

Although Song Hesheng looked confident facing whoever he ran into, he didn’t have the slightest confidence at all in front of his sister. That was because he had never been able to figure out what his sister was thinking about. So he said helplessly, “Ruyu, I don’t know what you’re thinking about. I just want to remind you in advance.”

Song Ruyu smiled faintly and said, “Brother, thank you for your kindness. I know that you’re doing it for my own good.”

Song Hesheng hesitated for a while and spoke suddenly, “Ruyu, could it be that you already knew?”

Song Ruyu frowned and asked, “What is it? Which one?”

Song Hesheng shook his head and said, “I’m fine. Maybe I was wrong.”

They didn’t say anything else since it was difficult for them to figure out each other’s thoughts. After greeting, they left the courtyard. Song Ruyu’s thoughts were naturally different from those of Song Hesheng. What Song Hesheng was thinking about was surely beyond Song Ruyu’s comprehension. Even so, if Song Hesheng intended to stop Song Ruyu from marrying Qin Sheng, he would have to ask his grandpa to give up the marital engagement completely. It was clear that Song Hesheng had to start from Qin Sheng.

Song Hesheng squinted and said, “Qin Sheng, I’m sorry.” He knew that doing so might make him offend a lot of people. Setting aside the relationship between him and Qin Ran, the relationship between the Song Family and the Qin Family might be brought to a stalemate. Even so, Song Hesheng had no choice but to make such an unwise decision for his sister.

If Qin Sheng knew that Song Hesheng thought so, he would probably visit Song Hesheng in person and fight with him. Qin Sheng might say, “I already have a girlfriend. Can’t you check my background first? I have never intended to hit on your sister. Don’t make me a scapegoat for this.”

In the Qin Family’s siheyuan, Qin Sheng had been waiting for Qin Changan, who did not come back until midnight. Qin Sheng took the initiative to talk with him for a while, saying he would return to Xi’an in the early next morning. Qin Changan gave him a few words of advice. At the same time, he also advised him about whom he should visit in Xi’an. He had informed his friends in advance, which made Qin Sheng feel confident. After all, this kind of thing was not as easy as the fighting and brawls between children.

In the next morning, Qin Sheng took Hao Lei and Chang Baji along with him and headed for Xi’an. At the same time, a group of people was on the way to Shanghai…
