Quick Transmigration: The Divine-Looking Host is Always Pampered by a Powerful Boss
Chapter 49 Junior, You Smell So Good 8
The next morning, Chu Zhuo received a message from Tang Qiu.
It was sent at around 3 a.m.
The timing was unreasonable, and the content he posted was emotionally inappropriate. Chu Zhu asked him where he was, and Tang Qiu said he wasn't home but at school.
Chu Zhuo has a certain degree of favor and affection for the protagonist of the small world who has good character.
Unable to get any results over the phone, and unsure if Sheng Congye was awake yet, Chu Zhuo messaged him on WeChat.
After washing up, Sheng Congye checked the unread messages from Chu Zhuo, his eyes radiating pleasure.
[Sheng Congye: I'm already up. What does Zhuobao want?]
[Zhuobao: I'm going back to school tomorrow. Do you want to stay in Pingjian or come with me?]
[Sheng Congye: !! Of course I'm not staying! What's the point of playing if you're not even in Pingjian? ???]
[Sheng Congye: Zhuobao, tell me which flight you bought the ticket for, and I'll check if there are any tickets left.]
Chu Zhuo posted a screenshot of the flight ticket information.
Tomorrow is not the peak return travel period, and there are still tickets available in the afternoon. Sheng Congye quickly bought a ticket, and the APP showed that the booking was successful. He breathed a sigh of relief.
After breakfast, Chu Zhuo mentioned going back to school to her grandfather, who said, "Is your classmate going back with you? Do you want to take him to Pingjian Scenic Area today?"
"We arranged to meet in the city center so I could show him around," Chu Zhuo said.
The two met in the city center.
Sheng Congye handed him the low-sugar milk tea. Chu Zhu removed the straw, inserted it into the cup, took a sip, and said, "The most famous attraction in Pingjian is Phoenix Mountain. You can see most of the city's landscape from the top of the mountain."
I bought two bottles of water and some small bread at the foot of the mountain, and then set off to climb.
They were both in great physical condition, climbing two-thirds of the way without stopping for half an hour. Chu Zhuo paused to rest, took out a bottle of water and drank half of it. Sheng Congye took the remaining half bottle, drank it, and then turned around and threw the empty plastic bottle into the trash can by the roadside.
Sheng Congye then pulled out a small loaf of bread: "We're almost at the mountain, have some, otherwise you'll have carried it all this way for nothing."
It's a twisted yet reasonable argument; Chu Zhuo opened the bag and chewed away.
Zhuobao is adorable no matter what he does, and Sheng Congye watched him eat with a fascinated look in his eyes.
With a third of the journey remaining, the two strolled along at a leisurely pace.
Sheng Congye opened his phone, called out "Zhuobao," and pressed the shutter button as Zhuobao turned around.
The image freezes.
Chu Zhuo paused for a second, then gave a peace sign to the camera.
Sheng Congye paused for a moment, then let out a low, gruff snort.
We arrived at the mountaintop at just past two o'clock. There was a temple at the top of the mountain, which enshrined the God of Wealth.
It is said that Pingjian City was almost submerged by floods back then, and the people fled to dilapidated temples on the mountain and survived the ordeal safely.
At that time, the deserted temple contained only a statue of the God of Wealth.
After returning to the foot of the mountain, the house was destroyed, but the gold and silver treasures inside were not washed away. From then on, the people of Pingjian began to worship the God of Wealth.
During holidays, and as a famous local tourist attraction, the temple is packed with people.
Chu Zhuo asked, "Brother Ye, are you going to pray to the God of Wealth?"
"I don't believe in this." Sheng Congye's eyes met his, and after a moment, he continued, "Besides, I already have the most precious thing. I'm afraid that if I go, the God of Wealth will think I'm greedy and take away my treasure. Then I'll have lost more than I gained."
The burning passion and tenderness in the man's eyes were clearly conveyed. In the two weeks since they met, Chu Zhuo had unknowingly become familiar with his presence.
From the day they met, Sheng Congye's romantic relationships have always been impressive.
Chu Zhuo didn't quite understand. They had only known each other for a little over ten days, so where did Sheng Congye get such intense feelings from?
As the sun sets on the mountaintop, the orange-red skyline casts a patch of light over the city before disappearing behind distant mountain peaks. The deep blue sky, like ink, marks the approaching nightfall for this land.
As the group enjoying the sunset retreated down the mountain, Sheng Congye was reluctant to part with Chu Zhuo. He lingered until no one was around before getting up and saying, "Let's go. It won't take long to get down the mountain. I'll take you back."
Chu Zhuo glared at him: "You've got it backwards, senior. I know Pingjian City better than you do; I should be the one giving you the ride."
That makes sense. Sheng Congye, who was focused on making a sure profit, said, "Then I'll have to ask you to take me, junior."
*
Seeing Chu Zhuo finally return, 001 flapped its wings and flew into Chu Zhuo's arms: [Host, you're back so late.]
Chu Zhuo gave it a hug: [I asked you before I left; you were completely mesmerized chasing butterflies in the flowerbed.]
There's really no way to refute that; 001's attempt to be cute failed.
After washing up and going to bed, Sheng Congye happily checked in at the same time as Chu Zhuo after lunch the next day.
The campus was much quieter than usual during the holidays. Chu Zhuo pushed open the dormitory door and saw someone sitting in the chair next to Tao Wei.
Hearing the door open, Jiang Yi turned his head and saw Sheng Congye and an unfamiliar face. He greeted her casually, "You must be my new roommate. My name is Jiang Yi. I was participating in a math competition abroad and just got back the day before yesterday."
The day before yesterday, wasn't that the Mid-Autumn Festival?
The timeline will not depict too many details of the interactions between the main characters, only the general timeline and important events.
Although Jiang Yi appeared calm, a layer of sorrow still lingered around him. Chu Zhuo disliked guessing games, so she tossed her backpack onto the bed and asked bluntly, "Jiang Yi, did you make Tang Qiu angry?"
The protagonist of this world is occasionally a bit thoughtful, but he is by no means a sensitive or insecure person, and he can always resolve his sadness within a certain period of time.
What would make him send emo messages in the middle of the night?
Jiang Yi looked up with slight surprise, paused for a moment, and asked, "Did Tang Qiu mention me to you?"
"Jiang Yi, you've got the point wrong," Chu Zhuo said. "I'm on Tang Qiu's side. I want things to be good for you all, but I want things to be good for Tang Qiu even more."
Jiang Yi remained silent once again.
"I came back early because I wanted to surprise Tang Qiu and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with him." Jiang Yi paused, his tone becoming much lower. "When I went to find him, I saw him standing very close to a boy. I called out to him, and he suddenly pushed the boy away in a panic. Just a second ago, they were chatting and laughing... I didn't mean to be suspicious. I was afraid that Tang Qiu was with me because we've been childhood friends for so many years, and he was blinded by the feelings of childhood friends, thinking that this was love, but it wasn't."
To put it bluntly, Jiang Yi was afraid that Tang Qiu had gotten used to each other's presence while they were together. He didn't dare to ask Tang Qiu for clarification, fearing that Tang Qiu would take this opportunity to see her own heart clearly and break up with him.
They were childhood sweethearts, having known each other since they were very young. At the age when they were just beginning to experience romantic feelings, they recognized each other at first sight and confessed their feelings during summer vacation... The childhood sweethearts who had liked each other for a long time started dating.
In Jiang Yi's vision, he would grow old with Tang Qiu.
But it was this idea that made Jiang Yi bad at expressing himself. He always felt that he understood Tang Qiu, and Tang Qiu understood him. They were childhood friends and the ones who understood each other best.
After listening to Jiang Yi's story, Chu Zhuo pointed out his problem: "Senior Jiang Yi, please put aside all your previous concerns. The Tang Qiu I know, although he may hesitate occasionally, is someone who has made a decision after careful consideration. There is absolutely no way he could have misjudged the situation."
After learning the whole story, Sheng Congye thought angrily, "So it was you two who made Zhuobao come back early." But not wanting Zhuobao to continue focusing her energy on unimportant people, he chimed in, "Did you go crazy from the competition? You're so quiet and don't like to talk. You deserve to lose your boyfriend."
In the timeline, the two eventually got together, and the misunderstanding was definitely resolved, but no one knows how long it took or what happened in between.
Some misunderstandings don't need to continue.
A childhood friendship spanning over a decade doesn't need any so-called tests.
Jiang Yi was suddenly enlightened, as if his whole body had been awakened.
He was too caught up in the past. Because he was two years older than Tang Qiu, he acted as the elder, protecting Tang Qiu. It was he who was trapped by his childhood friendship...
Jiang Yi stood up abruptly, grabbed his phone, and dashed out of the dormitory.
