Chapter 115: Small Matters
After leaving the restaurant, Song Yuanchao continued to stroll with Li Xiaoyun.
After walking a few steps, Li Xiaoyun suddenly tilted her head and looked at Song Yuanchao, and no one knew what she was looking at.
"What's wrong? Is there dirt on my face?" Song Yuanchao touched his face.
"Hehe, no way." Li Xiaoyun laughed: "Brother Yuanchao, you did this on purpose today, didn't you?"
"What do you mean intentional?" Song Yuanchao asked back, knowing the answer well.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? Then tell me, how was my cooperation today? Is it to your liking?" Li Xiaoyun shook her ponytail, looking a little proud.
Song Yuanchao burst into laughter immediately. Not to mention that Li Xiaoyun's cooperation with him today was simply seamless. The two of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand. First, they squeezed Luo Yang speechless, and then led Luo Yang by the nose step by step.
I have to admit that Li Xiaoyun is an extremely smart girl. Although she was just really arguing with Luo Yang at the beginning, when Song Yuanchao spoke up, Li Xiaoyun immediately understood what Song Yuanchao was trying to do. All her subsequent actions were to cooperate with Song Yuanchao, while Luo Yang and Xiao Qiao were completely unaware.
"You cooperated well in the fight, you deserve a reward! Tell me, what do you want to eat? It's my treat."
Touching her bulging belly, Li Xiaoyun, who had just come out of a restaurant, had no appetite. She immediately raised a finger and asked to skip the meal and eat later.
Song Yuanchao agreed very generously, and the two continued to walk along the street, chatting as they walked.
"Brother Yuanchao, let me ask you, why do you want to help Luo Yang?" Li Xiaoyun kept this question in her heart and couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think?" Song Yuanchao asked back.
"Let me ask you something first. Was Luo Yang's trouble in the class committee election last time related to this guy Zhao Minglei?"
Song Yuanchao hesitated and nodded slightly: "It is somewhat related, but Luo Yang later explained this to me. He and Zhao Minglei are just acquaintances, and he was asked by a friend to help. Moreover, he promised me that he would not interfere in this matter again, so you just need to know this in your heart, and don't mention it to Yan Zi."
It was impossible to hide this matter from Li Xiaoyun. In order to prevent this curious Li Xiaoyun from not getting an answer from Song Yuanchao and instead asking Lin Yan, Song Yuanchao thought it would be better to talk to her directly.
With an expression of sudden enlightenment on her face, Li Xiaoyun nodded: "That makes sense. It seems that Luo Yang is not that bad. Otherwise, today I would have to... Humph!"
"What are you talking about? Is there something wrong with your nose? How about I take you to the hospital?"
"Hehe, my nose is fine, and I'm in good health. This is a way of showing disdain for someone." Li Xiaoyun laughed so hard when she thought of what she had just said to Luo Yang.
"I think Luo Yang is a bit silly. He can't even tell a lie. He's trying to cover up the truth. It's obvious that he rented the house himself, but he insisted on saying it was his friend. Hehe, it makes me laugh to death. He really thought we couldn't see it."
Song Yuanchao smiled but said nothing. In fact, he had already guessed what Luo Yang was thinking, although this explanation did seem to be a cover-up.
"Brother Yuanchao, since you want to help him, why don't you make it clearer?" Li Xiaoyun continued to ask.
Song Yuanchao shook his head, looked at Li Xiaoyun seriously and said, "Xiaoyun, today your brother Yuanchao will teach you a lesson. In many cases, you can't be too straightforward and can't speak too clearly. It's not a good thing to be too deep with someone you just met. Besides, if you treat people too well, they won't appreciate you. Especially for someone like Luo Yang who is arrogant and conceited, some words will be counterproductive if they are too straightforward."
Li Xiaoyun tilted her head and thought about it, and began to understand what Song Yuanchao meant.
Song Yuanchao and Luo Yang are not comparable to her brother Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo, and are even inferior to Gu Jie. To be honest, they are just ordinary classmates. Although there is a relationship between Lin Yan and Luo Lin, it is just Lin Yan and Luo's siblings.
Because of Zhao Minglei, the relationship between Luo Yang and Song Yuanchao is very delicate. Although they are classmates, they are not friends. There are even some conflicts between them. But it cannot be denied that Song Yuanchao does not have any extreme views on Luo Yang. On the contrary, he has some good feelings for Luo Yang because of his frank apology last time. But even so, the two are still far from being friends.
Today, Song Yuanchao said these words in front of Luo Yang and gave him some advice. Half of them were for Lin Yan's sake, and the other half was because he was interested in Luo Yang.
In Song Yuanchao's opinion, Luo Yang shouldn't have done these things, but he did it anyway, which made him feel strange. Although Song Yuanchao didn't know the reason, it didn't prevent Song Yuanchao from helping him in this matter and thus establishing a good relationship.
Of course, Song Yuanchao's advice was just a rough outline, and the details depended on how Luo Yang did it. Song Yuanchao was also secretly looking forward to what Luo Yang could do, maybe this kid would give him a surprise soon.
The National Day passed quickly, and everything returned to normal the next day. Song Yuanchao and his classmates continued to devote themselves to their busy study life.
Lin Yan did not return to school until the morning of the 2nd . After class that afternoon, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan met at their usual meeting place - the bench by the lake.
When he saw Lin Yan walking towards him along the path in the sunset, Song Yuanchao, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted her with a smile.
"I'm back."
"Well, I came back in the morning and gave this to you." Lin Yan looked up at Song Yuanchao with a smile on her face. It seemed that she had a very good National Day.
"What is this...?" Song Yuanchao asked as he took the package handed to him by Lin Yan.
"My dad asked me to bring it to you. He said thank you for the inkstone you gave him last time and he likes it very much. This is Pu'er tea from the southwest, someone gave it to him. He heard from me that you like drinking tea, so he asked me to bring it to you." Lin Yan said happily. Her father Lin Daoyuan's recognition of Song Yuanchao made Lin Yan completely relieved. Moreover, when she went home for the holiday this time, her mother's attitude towards her was much better and she no longer mentioned Zhao Minglei in front of her.
Lin Yan estimated that Lin Daoyuan had discussed this matter with her mother privately after meeting Song Yuanchao, which made her mother understand her personal emotional problems. Although her mother has not really accepted Song Yuanchao yet, and has not taken the initiative to ask Lin Yan to bring Song Yuanchao home to meet him, no matter what, this change in her mother's attitude is moving in a good direction, which makes Lin Yan even happier.
After opening the oil paper wrapping, Song Yuanchao immediately smiled.
This is a very good Pu'er tea cake, it is indeed a good thing. In later generations, Pu'er tea can be regarded as a famous tea, but not many people drink Pu'er in this era. Most people drink green tea, such as Longjing and Maofeng. Most old Yanjing people prefer to drink jasmine tea. Pu'er tea started to become popular in the mid-to-late 1990s. Old tea cakes like this are not worth much now, but they are not easy to get in later generations.
For Song Yuanchao, this is not just a piece of tea cake, but represents Lin Daoyuan's recognition of him, which makes Song Yuanchao very happy.
"Thank our dad for me."
"Our dad?"
"Yes! We have already met the father-in-law. Now he is our dad or something else?" Song Yuanchao asked with a chuckle.
Lin Yan's face suddenly turned red, and she clenched her fist and hit Song Yuanchao lightly: "Slippery tongue, why didn't I see you like this before?"
"You've never met your father-in-law before. Don't forget that we have met each other's parents now. We are a legitimate couple, don't you think?" Song Yuanchao looked at Lin Yan happily. He had an urge to hug her in his arms, but he did not do so in the end. He just gently held Lin Yan's hand.
Sweetness and happiness appeared on Lin Yan's lips. This was the result she had been looking forward to for so many times, and now it had finally become a reality. She really hoped that all the good things would continue forever, but would it be like this?
Thinking of this, Lin Yan looked up at Song Yuanchao. When Song Yuanchao's eyes full of love and passion looked back at her, Lin Yan suddenly felt extremely at ease.
The sun gradually set, and the lake reflected a brilliant color. Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan walked towards the lake side by side, gazing at the white tower on the opposite bank. Everything was so beautiful and peaceful.
