Chapter 1018: Moving House
"Right. Mengyan, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I need to go out." Yang Ming pondered and felt that it was better to notify Chen Mengyan in advance about helping Zhao Ying to move house. Otherwise, based on this girl's character, if she found out, then it would not be good if troubles arise.
"Oh? What are you going to do?" asked Chen Mengyan.
"It is like this. Sister Ying has to move out in a while. I will find some people to help," said Yang Ming truthfully.
"This is the case." Although Chen Mengyan's heart was very vigilant toward Zhao Ying, seeing that Yang Ming was talking about serious matters, she did not stop him. "Go early and come back early."
With Chen Mengyan's approval, Yang Ming naturally was at ease. After all, Zhao Ying was also moving to the Hua Shang District. If he encountered Chen Mengyan, it would be bad.
Soon after they returned to Song Jiang, Yang Ming received a call from Zhao Ying.
"Yang Ming, my class is finished." Zhao Ying thought for a long time and decided to call Yang Ming. To tell the truth, Zhao Ying did not want to move. After all, her relationship with Yang Ming was ambiguous. If she lived in a house bought by Yang Ming, Zhao Ying was also not at ease.
However, if she did not move, Zhao Ying was not sure what kind of things Yang Ming would do. Maybe Yang Ming would take the opportunity when she was not at home and immediately help her to move.
So Zhao Ying had no other choice but to call Yang Ming.
"Sister Ying, where are you? I'll go to find you." Yang Ming heard Zhao Ying's voice and asked quickly.
"I am at school. I haven't gone home yet. We can meet at my house in a while," said Zhao Ying.
"It just so happens that I am near school. You wait for me at the front gate. I will pick you up now," said Yang Ming.
After he picked Zhao Ying up, they went to her original home together. They began to get busy. Initially, Yang Ming wanted to make a phone call to get Bao Sanli to send a few people over, but Zhao Ying did not agree, saying that it was not appropriate for others to handle some personal things. So, Yang Ming couldn't be helped. He could only personally help Zhao Ying to move.
"You... you go out for a moment..." Yang Ming was helping Zhao Ying to pack the computer in the box, but he heard Zhao Ying's shy voice.
"Go out? For what?" Yang Ming was surprised.
"I want to pack up my underwear..." said Zhao Ying with a red face.
"Oh, oh..." Yang Ming scratched his head and turned to leave the room. No wonder Zhao Ying didn't ask others to help. It turns out to be these things.
Originally, Zhao Ying was temporarily living here and didn't have many things. Moreover, the furniture belonged to the house. It was not Zhao Ying's furniture. So, after packing, there were only around ten cardboard boxes.
Yang Ming suddenly remembered that Zhao Ying's new home had no furniture, so he quickly called Bao Sanli and asked him to buy some furniture as soon as possible. The sooner, the better. It would be better if they could get it within an hour.
Bao Sanli had many underlings, and since it was Yang Ming's personal request, after hanging up the phone, he went to the furniture market immediately. He picked, paid, and directly loaded it all into the truck and drove away, all in one go.
The security guards were all free transporters and were very efficient. After doing all this, Bao Sanli took his men and drove the truck to the downstairs of Zhao Ying's home.
By this time, Yang Ming was already ready. When Bao Sanli's people came, they began to carry down the cardboard boxes.
Zhao Ying met Bao Sanli before and knew that he was doing things for Yang Ming, so she wasn't over-polite, because these people were helping because of Yang Ming's face.
"Ya!" Zhao Ying suddenly exclaimed in the car. "Yang Ming, it's not good!"
"What's wrong?" Yang Ming saw Zhao Ying's look of surprise and wondered. "What is not good?"
"We didn't prepare furniture!" said Zhao Ying with a bitter face. "It's your fault. You were so eager to move. I just remembered that there is no furniture in the new house. After moving in, how do I live?"
"Haha, it turns out to be this thing!" laughed Yang Ming happily.
"You can still laugh?" Zhao Ying was slightly annoyed. "How is this funny?"
"You can rest assured. I have already prepared these things. You can live immediately after you arrive." Yang Ming smiled and said.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier? You made me worried." Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, after arriving at the new house, Zhao Ying was incredulously looking at her modern, fully furnished home. Everything was prepared, from the bed, wardrobe, and household appliances like the TV to the refrigerator. The furniture was arranged perfectly!
Yang Ming just told Bao Sanli to buy furniture. Bao Sanli didn't know what was actually needed, and he was afraid that he would miss out on something, so he bought everything that could be used.
After putting Zhao Ying's things in the house, Bao Sanli left, leaving only Zhao Ying and Yang Ming.
"Sister Ying, how? Are you satisfied?" Yang Ming spoke at the same time as he sized up Zhao Ying's new home. Bao Sanli's work was still very satisfactory. When he saw that Bao Sanli even bought things like an induction cooker, he couldn't help but nod.
"Yang Ming... Thank you." Zhao Ying looked at the new home and felt a lot of emotion. Yang Ming was able to think so thoughtfully and thoroughly, and it even exceeded her expectations.
When Zhao Ying graduated and came to Song Jiang to teach, she was poor. She struggled for many years, but she still could not save much, let alone buy a house. Although there was cheap economic housing for rent, it was not her own home. This feeling of drifting made Zhao Ying very uneasy.
Zhao Ying sometimes dreamed of when could she have her own house and have a space to settle down. She did not expect Yang Ming to help her get what she wanted.
"Thanks for what?" said Yang Ming with a smile. "This is what I should do. Sister Ying, why are you being courteous with me?"
"In any case, I am very happy." Zhao Ying pleasantly shuttled back and forth between each room. Although she also understood that it was not appropriate to accept such a big gift from Yang Ming, she was not willing to refuse it.
"Ai, I thought you would be happy enough to give me a hug!" Yang Ming sighed and said with disappointment.
"What? Don't talk nonsense," said Zhao Ying with a red face.
"Hehe, it's just simply a hug to express your excitement... I don't mean anything else." Yang Ming laughed twice.
The two together unpacked the things that had been moved before and then arranged them according to the items. When Yang Ming saw the oversized round bed in the bedroom, he couldn't help but smile. Bao Sanli is very good. He knows to buy such a big bed.
When all the things were arranged properly, the two were too tired and sat on the sofa. They couldn't move. Zhao Ying was physically tired while Yang Ming was mentally tired. He was trying to help Zhao Ying design the layout of the new house, which caused a headache.
"Yang Ming, I suddenly feel like I'm dreaming. Is this my home?" Zhao Ying looked at the chandelier on the ceiling and muttered to herself.
"Hehe, this is our home." Yang Ming boasted.
"Our?" Zhao Ying's face suddenly turned red. "What our..."
"I didn't say it; Aunty Wang said it! She said that she bought a house for us to live in," said Yang Ming with a smile.
(Aunty Wang, Wang Guifen, Zhao Ying's mother. See the previous article.)
"How can you believe what my mother said? She is like this. She always says something incomprehensible." Zhao Ying quickly explained.
Zhao Ying was clearer about her mom's intention than anyone else. However, this thing is also about fate. I am afraid that only God knows what will happen with me and Yang Ming's future.
"Hehe, don't mention her." Yang Ming smiled. "Right, you still have a car at the dealership. They called me one day and asked me when I can pick it up."
"Ah!" Zhao Ying was stunned and suddenly remembered about it. When her mother was in Song Jiang, she actually spent Yang Ming's money to buy a BMW for her. Immediately, she was a bit annoyed. "My mom, she is really... How can she buy it casually... Why don't we sell the car?"
"If you sell it, you lose money. The new car will be sold as a second-hand; it will not be cost-effective." Yang Ming said, "Just keep it for yourself."
"But, after moving here, I am closer to the school. I don't even need a car, right" Zhao Ying also understood that no matter how new the car was, it became a second-hand car once it was bought, and would lose a lot of money.
"It will be useful," said Yang Ming. "You research students' classes end late, and our community is big. I'm more comfortable with you driving back and forth."
Zhao Ying knew it was hard to change things once Yang Ming decided on them, so she didn't want to do it in vain. Sometimes it was really irritating to think about it. Yang Ming was really overbearing.
"Right. Sister Ying, have you looked at the gift I gave you?" Yang Ming saw that Zhao Ying was not acting any different today and couldn't help but ask.
"Ah! After you left last night, I fell asleep. Today, I moved house after I just came back. I haven't had time to look at it!" Zhao Ying said, "Why? What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Yang Ming quickly waved his hand and said. "I just suddenly remembered and asked casually."
Since Zhao Ying hadn't seen it yet, Yang Ming wouldn't say anything about it. If he said too much, it would raise Zhao Ying's suspicion.
Zhao Ying was a bit puzzled, but seeing that Yang Ming said nothing, she no longer asked. "Yang Ming, what do you want to eat in a while? I will go and prepare it."
"Sister Ying, we are exhausted today. We just cleaned up the new house, so let's not cook. I will come to eat again another day. Let's go out and find a restaurant to eat today," Yang Ming suggested.
Zhao Ying thought about it. It was indeed like this. Her arms and legs were still sore, so she nodded and said, "Well, then let's go out and eat."
Looking at Yang Ming next to her, Zhao Ying suddenly had an illusion that she was like a newly married little wife who sat happily together with her lover...
