Chapter 148 Moving Away from Xiaomei
"Teacher Zhang! Kongkong is my best friend!" After Zhang Liangjun had almost calmed Kongkong down, who was still crying because of her injury, Qu Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and walked in. She then stood on the high ground and condemned Zhang Liangjun, "Teacher Zhang, you... I brought her safely onto the ship, but I never imagined I couldn't bring her safely off! Teacher Zhang! You..."
"Xiaoxiao, hehe!" Zhang Liangjun interrupted Qu Xiaoxiao's performance, got off the bed, and approached her step by step. Qu Xiaoxiao was a little nervous and kept backing away until she was against the wall. Zhang Liangjun reached out and pinned Qu Xiaoxiao against the wall, his presence incredibly oppressive. "I've tolerated you time and time again, but you've repeatedly tested my bottom line? Don't you know I hate being schemed against?"
It's not that I hate being schemed against, but I don't want Qu Xiaoxiao to make decisions on her own. Even though the result of discussing it with me would most likely be that she wouldn't accept Kong Kong.
"I was scared by Andy's incident, and I'm afraid to be alone... Sister Xiaotong, she didn't keep her promise! That's why..." Qu Xiaoxiao's voice became almost inaudible. Qu Xiaoxiao had already prepared to have the experienced driver guide her, but she didn't expect Ji Xiaotong to break her promise!
Ji Xiaotong kept her word, only saying she would find a suitable opportunity. But Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't wait any longer. She then remembered that Zhang Liangjun had once been interested in Kong Kong. After thinking about it carefully for a long time, she realized that Kong Kong was quite good too. She was good-looking and listened to her.
"Remember, from now on, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly. You're not allowed to keep scheming and plotting like this. Do you understand?"
Qu Xiaoxiao nodded meekly, "I understand, Teacher Zhang."
"Alright, let's stay here tonight!"
……
Early in the morning, Zhang Liangjun got up very early as usual, but Andy and Ji Xiaotong went out with him. They had apparently gone to the same bedroom to rest sometime earlier. As if the tables had turned, the two who had gotten up early yesterday were now completely unable to move.
"Don't you even care about them! They're both so young!" Ji Xiaotong said with a hint of reproach.
Qiu Yingying opened the door as well, "Sister Xiaotong, you didn't see how he treated me back then!"
Zhang Liangjun ignored their banter and, as if he had just woken up, said, "Andy, Xiaotong, Yingying, the weather's nice today! How about we go fishing after dinner? Hey, where's Guanguan?"
"Guan Guan is still sleeping; it seems she had some insomnia last night. Let's go eat! Brother Zhang, I want to go fishing; can you teach me later?" Qiu Yingying was interested in novel things, especially fun activities.
Sitting on the fishing seat, Qiu Yingying curiously examined the fishing gear. "Brother Zhang, what does this monitor show?"
Zhang Liangjun held Qiu Yingying on his lap and patiently explained to her, "This shows the depth, which indicates approximately how many meters your fishing hook has descended. This is for reeling in the line..."
But fishing is actually a rather tedious activity; if you don't enjoy it, it's hard to sit there for hours. After getting bored, Qiu Yingying put down her fishing rod and sat next to Zhang Liangjun, watching him fish. She felt that fishing really wasn't very interesting to her.
By the time Qu Xiaoxiao and Kong Kong arrived with an odd walking posture, Zhang Liangjun had already caught two small fish.
Because Qiu Yingying was chattering away beside him, Zhang Liangjun wasn't distracted this time. He was much more perceptive and noticed the two of them much earlier. "Why aren't you resting for half a day? What are you doing out here?"
"It's Kong Kong, she said she misses you!" Qu Xiaoxiao betrayed her teammate.
Kong Kong felt it was unfair, "You were grumbling the whole time too!"
"Alright, what's the big deal! Do you want to go fishing? I can teach you."
"I don't like fishing! I only like eating... Hey, Teacher Zhang, look at the whale! It's spouting water!" Qu Xiaoxiao spotted the big whale, pointed in that direction, and called for everyone to come and look.
That must be a blue whale. It was quite large, only about a hundred meters from the yacht, and the water mist it spewed was very high and obvious.
This was the first time Zhang Liangjun had ever seen a whale spouting water. He felt he was lucky to have witnessed such an interesting scene after only two days at sea.
The yacht was still moving, at a moderate speed. After seven days, Zhang Liangjun felt a bit bored. As time went on, he got used to it. No matter how beautiful the sea view was, seeing it every day would diminish the initial wonderful impression.
After docking at the port on Hainan Island, Zhang Liangjun and his group flew back to Shanghai. The yacht was managed by a shipyard; Zhang Liangjun only needed to pay the fees.
Everyone's lives seemed to have returned to normal, but there were differences.
The biggest difference is that Zhang Liangjun moved to his newly purchased house. Aside from being a little far from the company, there are no other problems. However, it offers ample privacy; only Zhang Liangjun's house is inside the fenced area. This land was originally planned as a park, but this corner location was reserved, and the developer went to great lengths to change the land use designation.
That evening, Guan Juer received a phone call. After hanging up, she rushed to find Zhang Liangjun. "Brother Zhang, my mom is coming to Shanghai!"
Zhang Liangjun was perusing some Taoist classics. Since returning to Shanghai, he had been searching for ways to heal his mental state, fearing he might not be so lucky next time. After searching for a long time, Zhang Liangjun finally focused on religious texts. He started with Taoism, and the book in his hand was the *Nanhua Jing*, also known as the *Zhuangzi*.
Hearing the shouts, he looked up and saw Guan Juer running over, panting. He put his arm around her and patted her chest to help her catch her breath. "You're here! Why are you so excited? We'll just treat them well."
"I have to go back to Ode to Joy!" Guan Juer was already used to it and had no intention of resisting. "Brother Zhang, we can't let my mother know about us yet."
Zhang Liangjun didn't insist anymore, "Alright then, I'll take you there!"
The two returned to Ode to Joy and were stunned as soon as they opened the door. The room was a mess; the sofa was covered in all sorts of things, the living room floor was filthy, and a puddle of phlegm was particularly glaring.
Fan Shengmei wasn't inside. There were only two elderly people, dressed very simply, and a little boy of about ten years old, holding a bouquet of flowers and waving them at Qiu Yingying's door lock, chanting, "Open Sesame!"
The older woman among the two elderly people asked Zhang Liangjun, "Who are you?"
Zhang Liangjun did not answer the two men's questions, but instead asked the woman, "Where is Fan Shengmei?"
An old man standing nearby asked, "Do you know Xiaomei? Are you close to her?"
"We're close to Fan J..." Guan Juer was about to answer that she had a good relationship with Fan Shengmei, but Zhang Liangjun interrupted her. "I'm asking you, where is Fan Shengmei?"
Intimidated by Zhang Liangjun's imposing manner, the old lady became meek and submissive, "Xiaomei...we don't know either."
