Chapter 33: Not Satisfied to Stop Here
The early summer evening breeze still carried a slight dryness, gently stroking Qin Yuanging’s delicate features, easing his fatigue from the journey.
Because Ronghui Tower was hosting a very important conference these past few days, all unregistered vehicles were prohibited from entering the garage. Therefore, Qin Yuanging parked his car at a nearby shopping mall and walked to the building.
“I’m downstairs at Ronghui Tower.”
After sending the message to Li Chongge, Qin Yuanging began to wait patiently. He didn’t deal with work messages or use his phone for entertainment to pass the time, but stood quietly under a camphor tree, his gaze fixed on the exit of Ronghui Tower.
In Qin Yuanging’s opinion, waiting with anticipation was interesting, and he didn’t find it boring at all.
At 8:05, Li Chongge replied: “Wait for me.”
Li Chongge quickly left the noisy meeting place. Those who were trying to invite him again noticed the hurriedness of his steps and tactfully made way for him.
The moment he saw Qin Yuanging’s message, an uncontrollable fire ignited in Li Chongge’s chest, and some emotions began to overflow uncontrollably.
The absurd expectations he had held for so long seemed to have found a breakthrough point at this moment.
As he came out, Li Chongge didn’t even need to search through the crowd; he immediately locked onto the direction where Qin Yuanging was.
The moment their eyes met, smiles quickly appeared on both of their faces.
Li Chongge walked towards Qin Yuanging step by step, his eyes fixed on him.
“Why did you come?”
“Seeing how miserable you are, I came to improve your meals.”
Qin Yuanging pretended to be natural, trying to make it seem like driving over two hundred kilometers to make a meal for a friend was the most normal thing in the world.
Qin Yuanging was probably the only person in the world who thought Li Chongge was miserable, but it wasn’t his fault, because it was Li Chongge himself who made him have this illusion.
Qin Yuanging had been to Li Chongge’s residence in Jiang City once before. The spacious and luxurious apartment was still empty and desolate, with almost no traces of life, indicating that the owner of this apartment rarely visited.
But today, because of Qin Yuanging’s arrival, it gained some fresh air.
At least there was someone else breathing.
Li Chongge couldn’t comfortably enjoy Qin Yuanging’s care, so even if he couldn’t help much, he insisted on helping with washing vegetables and setting the table.
Qin Yuanging’s cooking skills weren’t superb, but fortunately, he was quick enough, and two dishes and a soup were soon on the table.
Li Chongge took a bowl and served rice on the side.
Neither of them had any extra words at the moment, and they were both enjoying the quiet and warm atmosphere.
When the two of them finally sat down at the table, Li Chongge asked, “How does it feel to be back at Wansheng?”
“Not bad, but it’s busier than when I was at Huichuang. How about you? You’ve been in meetings all day, are you tired?”
“It’s okay, you know, my speeches are always short, and most of the time I listen to others, so it doesn’t take much effort.”
Their topics were all trivial, but they both found them interesting.
The meal ended quickly. Li Chongge put the dishes into the dishwasher and returned to the living room, where Qin Yuanging was leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed.
Li Chongge turned up the temperature of the air conditioner a little, then walked over and sat down beside him, “Qin Yuanging, thank you.”
“You really want to thank me?”
Perhaps Qin Yuanging’s tone was a little frivolous, and Li Chongge’s thoughts wandered for a moment.
“How do you want me to thank you?”
Li Chongge thought, anything is fine.
Qin Yuanging opened his eyes, but deliberately didn’t look at Li Chongge, only raised a smile.
“I’m just kidding. You told me not to say thank you to you, so why do you want to say thank you to me? Aren’t we best friends? It’s only right for me to do these things.”
Li Chongge thought Qin Yuanging’s smile was a little annoying.
“Okay, I won’t say it again in the future.”
Li Chongge avoided the important and dwelled on the minor, not lingering on the phrase “best friends.”
They were best friends, but he wasn’t satisfied to stop there.
“What are your plans for tomorrow morning? Are you going to rest or rush back to work early in the morning?”
“I’ll go back early in the morning. Tomorrow morning, my dad is going to sign a very important contract with Wei’s Enterprise, and he wants me to go with him.”
Qin Yuanging’s time was tight. In addition to the normal two and a half hours of travel time, he also had to consider the morning rush hour. In order not to be late, he had to leave at least six o’clock tomorrow morning.
This was a pretty big challenge for Qin Yuanging, who didn’t like to get up early.
Li Chongge frowned, feeling sorry for Qin Yuanging’s rush.
But he knew better than anyone why Qin Yuanging was here at this moment. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.
“Then get some rest early, it’s already very late.”
Qin Yuanging sat still and casually tugged at his collar.
“Do you have any extra pajamas and clean shirts?”
“Yes, but none of them are new, do you mind?”
“I don’t mind.”
Li Chongge got up and went to the cloakroom. Because this business trip was longer, there were more clothes hanging inside than last time.
He took out a set of pajamas and a shirt from inside and gave them to Qin Yuanging.
“You don’t have to make a special trip to return the shirt to me.”
Qin Yuanging lightly rubbed his fingers on the silk pajamas.
“Li Chongge, your pajamas are so soft.”
“You like them? Should I buy you two new sets?”
Qin Yuanging got up and walked towards the guest room, his voice floating softly behind him.
“No need, this set is good enough, I’ll take it with me tomorrow.”
Li Chongge stood there, his expression obscure.
