Chapter 32 Escape
Off-get off work time.
Chen Yu picked up Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Wenwen in the underground parking garage, and the three of them went to the couple's restaurant again.
It was Chen Yu's idea to come to this romantic restaurant. Yesterday, he noticed the jealous look on the waiter's face at the door. Today, he was going to bring both of them to further provoke that waiter.
As Chen Yu had expected, the waiter became unrecognizable due to jealousy.
Chen Yu was in a great mood and stuffed a thirty-yuan bill into the waiter's shirt pocket!
Chen Yu was in an even better mood!
Chen Yu didn't dare eat this meal. He was afraid there would be saliva in it!
Satisfying Chen Yu's perverse sense of humor, he followed the two speechless, beautiful young women to a Hong Kong-style restaurant upstairs. They ordered a few dishes casually, and without drinking any alcohol, quickly finished their meal and returned to Linjiang Xianfu.
Since it was still early, Chen Xu suggested going for a night run. Wang Wenwen readily agreed, but Zhong Xiaoqin, being a homebody, was somewhat reluctant to go. However, after Wang Wenwen's pleading gaze, she finally agreed.
The direction I was running in at night was a park, where many people exercise during the day.
"Xiaoqin, your physique is too weak. You can't carry heavy loads or lift anything. This is not good!" Chen Yu comforted Zhong Xiaoqin, hoping that she could exercise.
Occasionally, a car would pass by on the road, briefly illuminating the path for night runs, and then only the faint glow of the streetlights would remain.
Zhong Xiaoqin nodded, but didn't say anything. The night run was already quite long, and Zhong Xiaoqin, who didn't exercise often, was a little tired.
Wang Wenwen grew up in a small town before moving to the city. In the small town, she often went up the mountain to catch scorpions or did farm work in the fields, so she was quite physically fit and could walk several kilometers without any problem.
"How about we have a race? Let's see who can run the fastest. How about we run to that traffic light up ahead?" Chen Yu had a childish idea, just like a student having a race.
Zhong Xiaoqin was the first to shake her head, "That's too childish!"
Wang Wenwen smiled, "Xiaoqin, have you finally grown up?"
"You stinky Wenwen, are you trying to say I haven't grown up again?" In the original drama, Chen Yu often used this phrase to mock Zhong Xiaoqin when they argued.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Xiaoqin, Wenwen also said it's for your own good. There's nothing wrong with exercising; health is the foundation of everything!" Chen Yu, who had stirred up the anger, stepped in to mediate again!
"Brother Xiaoyu, let's run, but this time it doesn't count! I'll just run around a bit!" Zhong Xiaoqin said tentatively. She knew she definitely couldn't win, so she tried to salvage the situation first.
Just then, another car drove by, illuminating the night view of the small park and Chen Yu's handsome face.
"Of course, our goal in running is to stay healthy, and we never aim to win or lose!"
Wang Wenwen also said, "Let's go, it's late, there are hardly any pedestrians on the roadside, we should go back."
The next day, breakfast was made by Wang Wenwen, who was in better physical condition and recovered faster after exercise. Zhong Xiaoqin was much weaker and still felt a little lightheaded.
After breakfast, Chen Yu parted ways with the two women to pursue his research project, which was currently his most pressing interest. Wang Wenwen and Zhong Xiaoqin, on the other hand, went to work at their company. The company, in their hands, was like a small, independent child. They wanted to manage it well and help it grow, so they could live up to Chen Yu's expectations and prove themselves worthy of him.
After finishing his meal, Chen Yu didn't rush to Professor Huang's project. Instead, he found a seemingly reliable housekeeping company and asked them to recommend a woman in her forties to work as a housekeeper. Cleaning and cooking might seem like small tasks, but they were quite time-consuming. Previously, Wang Wenwen and Zhong Xiaoqin were at most friends who could help with housework, but now their relationship had progressed rapidly, and they were all busy with work. Doing this kind of work again seemed a bit inefficient. It would be more suitable to hire a live-in housekeeper.
In addition, we need to make sure Zhong Xiaoqin takes the time to learn to drive and then buy a car. Having a car and not driving it versus not having a car to drive are two completely different outcomes.
The Spring Festival was fast approaching, but Zhong Xiaoqin was experiencing severe abdominal pain that day. Chen Yu took her to see a doctor, and Wang Wenwen, worried about Zhong Xiaoqin, came along as well.
After a thorough examination and careful questioning by the gynecologist, Chen Yu was also asked to listen to the explanation. The doctor suspected that Zhong Xiaoqin might have some internal damage, most likely caused by excessive force or prolonged activity. To confirm this, the doctor suggested examining Chen Yu. Finally, the doctor advised the two to engage in moderate exercise and avoid overexertion. Wang Wenwen, following behind, almost burst out laughing.
Zhong Xiaoqin gave Chen Yu a shy glare. After leaving the hospital, she said she wanted to go home to rest—not to Linjiang Xianfu, but to her parents' home. After all, Chen Yu's schedules were not only long, but also very frequent, especially in the last few days. His project seemed to have yielded huge results, going on and on every day for several days in a row. How could a normal person endure that? Zhong Xiaoqin had no choice but to give in!
Chen Yu felt that since the Spring Festival was approaching, he could take the opportunity to meet Zhong's parents again and discuss the matter of both sets of parents meeting.
Wang Wenwen also went to the Zhong family with Zhong Xiaoqin. Even though she was exceptionally talented, she was really tired and wanted to rest for two days.
Chen Yu felt there was something wrong with his body, but the system hadn't given any hints, so he could only speculate. Furthermore, the impulsive feelings between Wang Wenwen and Zhong Xiaoqin were most likely influenced by the system; otherwise, such an inexplicable situation wouldn't have occurred.
Soon, Chen Yu drove to the supermarket, bought some gift boxes and cigarettes and alcohol, and went to Zhong Xiaoqin's house.
"Xiaoyu, Wenwen, you're here! I've told you not to buy these things, they're such a waste!" Zhong's mother's politeness was as usual.
Chen Yu was still the same as always, "Uncle and Aunt, the New Year is just around the corner. A friend just sent over two bottles of Jiannanchun liquor. I brought them over for you to check out!"
"Oh dear, this time it's not working out. Your uncle has been diagnosed with a heart problem. Xiaoqin took him for a checkup, and they said there's a risk of a heart attack. They advised him to stop drinking alcohol!" Chen Yu actually knew about this, but he thought it was only an early possibility for Zhong's father. As long as he didn't drink excessively for a long time and had regular checkups, there generally wouldn't be any problems. But Chen Yu wouldn't say that. Instead, he held up another ginseng gift box in his hand. "I was thinking that my uncle is almost retired, and a friend gave me a box of ginseng. I thought I'd bring some to help him recover."
