Yu Minglang is true to his code no matter which industry he’s in.

One, the deserved king, the first.

Although sometimes they didn’t like Yu Minglang’s attitude, as if he was second only to the heavens or even above them, they genuinely admired his abilities.

“But I think Xiao Qian is the most amazing person I’ve ever seen. She has a kind of indescribable feeling about her. I’ve met many powerful people, but none of them are like her. She seems to see through everything in the world…”

“When two smart people are together, there will be no problems.” Zhu Daodao reassured Shuixian, but he wasn’t entirely sure.

P>He had never seen Yu Minglang with that kind of look in his eyes, a lack of self-confidence that shouldn’t have appeared on him.

“My dad once told me something.”

“What is it?”

“When kings meet, it’s a stalemate…”

The doorbell rang again. Zhu Daodao thought Yu Minglang had come back. He opened the door, and Tang Daye was standing there.

Shuixian’s face was full of surprise.

“Dad, shouldn’t you be on the plane already?”

He said he had important things to do.

“I’ve been thinking, and I think what Xiao Chen said is right.”

“What? What did Xiao Qian tell you?”

“Some things can’t be hidden in the name of love. You have the right to know the truth, Shuixian. Come with me on this flight.”

“Where to?”

“To accompany me for surgery. Don’t worry, it’s a low-risk operation, and with you outside the operating room, I’ll have more confidence to fight the illness.”

Xiao Qian was right; the power of belief is strong. On occasion, there’s nothing wrong with reason giving way to emotions. Tang Daye didn’t want this time to be a farewell with his daughter. In case the surgery fails, he wanted his child to see him one more time.

But Xiao Qian, who helped him understand this, is now dealing with her own problem, the kind that is effective when advising others but unsolvable for herself.

What is a friend? A friend is someone you can have a drink with when you’re upset, even if you don’t say anything. After drinking nearly two hours of milk with Xiao Qian, Zheng Xu was sad to realize that he had been forcibly placed in the friend zone by her.

After drinking a bottle of beer and two cups of milk, Xiao Qian understood something.

Zheng Xu was right; she was now like a dieter cheating herself.

When faced with delicious food, people find all kinds of reasons not to eat. In the end, those sinful hands will reach for the food, even though not eating for weight loss is a struggling excuse. If not for that, their greedy hearts would feel guilty.

Add a transitional period of reluctance, and finally occupy by force, it becomes justified.

That is human nature. Xiao Qian admitted that she is human and has human flaws, but she still couldn’t figure out how to perfectly solve her problem with Yu Minglang.

Even the most brilliant people have their occasional moments of struggle, which can also be adorable. Zheng Xu found Xiao Qian’s struggle enjoyable, a petty jealousy born from not being able to afford pork while watching others eat it.

He deserved it. Let this pair of infatuated men and women show off their love in front of him, and they must also have moments of quarrels. Anyway, he was sure that Xiao Qian would eventually return to Yu Minglang.

Zheng Xu’s words did have an impact on Xiao Qian. Her heart stirred with ripples. If she hadn’t known that Yu Minglang was her benefactor from her past life, if there hadn’t been that phone call, if she weren’t in the irritable phase just before her period, would she have acted this way?

This was a mystery.

As the car entered the downtown area, Xiao Qian suddenly spotted a figure.

“Zheng Xu, stop the car.”

“What’s up?”

“I saw my roommate. Wait for me here.”

Xiao Qian saw someone who looked like Shi Touyu from behind, carrying a small bag and about to enter a karaoke bar.

“Shi Touyu!” Xiao Qian shouted out loud.

The person turned around, and it was indeed the long-lost Shi Yu.

“Boss Qian!” Shi Yu was so happy to see Xiao Qian; she ran straight to hug her.

“What are you doing here?” Shi Yu’s home was not in this city, so Xiao Qian was a little surprised to see her.

“I came to see a friend and was planning to find you tomorrow, but ran into you now. What a surprise!”

Xiao Qian noticed that Shi Yu had dark circles under her eyes, looked tired, and had lost a lot of weight.

“What’s wrong with you? You look so down.”

After living together for a semester, she could tell something was amiss.

“I broke up…” Shi Yu’s nose turned sour as she mentioned this.

“When did you fall in love? Weren’t you always unrequited?”

“Boss Qian, I feel so terrible. Can you talk to me?”

Zheng Xu honked twice behind Xiao Qian, and she turned to him.

“I won’t go back first. I bumped into my classmate.”

“Want to hang out?” Zheng Xu glanced at the karaoke place behind her.

Xiao Qian asked Shi Touyu, “Did you make an appointment?”

“Yes, you can come too. So we can chat.”

Xiao Qian didn’t like playing with strangers, but seeing Shi Touyu’s state, she didn’t want to leave her alone either. So she turned to Zheng Xu and said.

“Can you pick me up in two hours? Shi Touyu, which room did you book?”

“Room 13.”

Zheng Xu spread his hands, “Looks like I’m your driver now.”

“We’re all friends, right?” Xiao Qian blinked her eyes.

Zheng Xu drove away, leaving Xiao Qian a trail of exhaust gas.

“Who is he? Why isn’t it your jealous king picking you up?” Shi Touyu asked Xiao Qian.

“He’s my good friend.” Xiao Qian deliberately avoided topics related to Yu Minglang.

“Shi Touyu, you came to another city alone? Who are you meeting? Are you being bold and meeting an online friend?”

“No, she’s my childhood friend. We grew up together and had a great relationship. I just broke up, so I wanted to talk to her. My dad happened to have business here, so I came along.”

“What kind of friend? Why aren’t you in the same city? Male or female?” Xiao Qian always had doubts about Shi Yu’s choice of friends.

This child seemed to have a severe lack of friendship, always wanting to make many friends, but was easily deceived.

“Female, same age as me. Don’t worry, she’s different from the others. She’s really good! When we were kids, she always helped chase off the kids who bullied me. We even shared candy gourds! You’ll love Xiao Xuanzi!”

“Not picked up?”

“When I was little, my dad and mom were separated. He was the head of the pharmaceutical factory at the time, so I lived with my mom in the county town. We lived in a large yard with Xiao Xuanzi. We played together and had a good relationship. Later, my dad took me back, and I kept in touch with her. But after going to school in another city, I never met another friend as good as her

– at least until I met you guys.”

“Did she do anything special for you?” Xiao Qian was always trying to figure out why Shi Yu was so desperate for friendship.. Did it have something to do with Xiao Xuanzi?
