The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 231 of "Ode to Joy" is actually a residential community!
Yanjingmao, Girls' Dormitory 302.

Xu Hongdou watched as Fan Shengmei changed her clothes on the other end of the video, ran in, and helped Xu Hongmi out.

Afterwards, Fan Shengmei turned back and told Xu Hongdou in front of the camera that everything would be alright before closing her laptop.

Xu Hongdou stood up from her computer, hesitated for a moment after taking out her phone, and finally walked quickly towards the balcony.

After making a call, Xu Hongdou put the phone to her ear.

"Hey, are you asleep?"

"I was just about to go to sleep, is something wrong?"

“My sister had a stomachache. She had been enduring it until just now when we were video chatting, and the pain suddenly got worse. Her roommate took her to the hospital, and I’m a little worried about her.”

"Send me your sister's phone number, or send me her roommate's phone number."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Hongdou sent Yang Muye both Xu Hongmi's and Fan Shengmei's phone numbers via text message.

After doing all this, Xu Hongdou pressed her phone against her chest.

Although she was still worried about Xu Hongmi, she was no longer as flustered as before.

The entrance to the emergency department building at the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Tokyo Medical School.

Fan Shengmei helped Xu Hongmi out of a taxi, and three people immediately ran over from the building entrance.

When Yang Muyi, who was in the lead, saw that Xu Hongmi's face had turned pale with pain, he immediately gave Liu Wenjing, who had come with him, a wink.

Liu Wenjing quickly ran over and, together with Fan Shengmei, helped Xu Hongmi up on either side.

"Redmi, your ID card."

"In my... in my bag."

Xu Hongmi clutched her stomach, in so much pain she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Yang Muye took the bag from Fan Shengmei, found the ID card, and handed it to Xu Sanduo, asking him to register.

Liu Wenjing and Fan Shengmei helped Xu Hongmi into the emergency building, while Yang Muye ran to the emergency department to borrow a wheelchair from a nurse, and then pushed Xu Hongmi into the emergency department.

The nurse immediately called the doctor after the preliminary examination.

After questioning and abdominal palpation examination, the preliminary diagnosis was an acute attack of appendicitis.

After Xu Sanduo returned with the registration slip, Yang Muye handed him the examination form and told him to pay the fees.

Yang Muye pushed Xu Hongmi to have her blood drawn first, and then had Liu Wenjing accompany her to have an imaging examination.

Seeing that everything was proceeding smoothly under Yang Muye's arrangement, Fan Shengmei finally had time to call Xu Hongdou back.

"It's alright, Hongdou. We're at the hospital now. Your sister is having tests done. If it's appendicitis, she might need immediate surgery. But don't worry, the ER doctor just said it's a minor procedure and very simple."

"It's no trouble at all. I'll take your sister to the hospital and that'll be all. Your friend's bodyguard and nanny will handle the payments and accompanying her to the tests. I'll just watch from the sidelines and won't have to do anything."

"No need to thank me. They say a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and besides, your sister and I live in the same house."

"Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as the test results are in."

Just as Fan Shengmei was about to put down her phone, she saw Yang Muye walking towards her.

Although it wasn't the first time she'd seen him, every time Fan Shengmei saw Yang Muyi's 1.87-meter height and athlete-like physique, she couldn't help but sigh with admiration and a little envy.

Previously, when Xu Hongmi showed Fan Shengmei photos of Xu Hongdou, Fan Shengmei joked that a girl who looked like an angel must be incredibly outstanding to be worthy of her.

The boy who was worthy of Xu Hongdou has now come into being before my eyes.

"Sister Fan, it's getting late. I see your hair is still wet. Why don't you go back first? I'll keep an eye on Sister Hongmi. I'll text you as soon as anything happens."

Only after Yang Muyi said that did Fan Shengmei realize that she hadn't dried her hair yet.

But this is not the point.

The key point is that Fan Shengmei removed her makeup before applying the face mask.

Facing a handsome man with a bare face, Fan Shengmei, who is beautiful and loves beauty, must feel awkward.

Even so, Fan Shengmei insisted on waiting for Xu Hongmi to finish her imaging examination before leaving the hospital.

After the imaging results came back, Xu Hongmi was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and needed to undergo surgery immediately.

The surgery ended a little after 1 a.m.

Yang Muyi called Xu Hongdou, who had been waiting and hadn't slept, to let her know he was safe. He left Liu Wenjing to keep watch and take care of Xu Hongmi before he and Xu Sanduo went back to sleep.

The next morning, Yang Muye rushed to the hospital and found a female caregiver to replace Liu Wenjing so she could catch up on her sleep.

When Xu Hongmi entered the ward, she was on the phone with Xu Hongdou.

"It's a laparoscopic surgery. The doctor who just did rounds said you can get out of bed and move around that day, so don't worry. And please, don't tell Mom and Dad, remember that!"

"Okay, did the doctor say I need to stay in the hospital for a few days?"

"Depending on the recovery, it will take 3 to 5 days. I plan to stay for three days and be discharged if there are no major problems."

"That won't do, you have to stay for 5 days!"

"why?"

“Because it’s the weekend in 5 days, and you asked me to come to Shanghai for fun and promised to reimburse my round-trip airfare, right? I’ve already booked the tickets, and I’ll come pick you up when you’re discharged from the hospital.”

Xu Hongmi originally wanted to say that Xu Hongdou didn't need to answer, but she held back the words.

Xu Hongdou clearly missed someone, but she refused to admit it.

Now that she has the excuse of having surgery and being hospitalized, Xu Hongdou can openly and legitimately come to see someone.

Although Xu Hongmi always felt that a guy like Yang Muyi was "definitely not a good match", just one phone call from Xu Hongdou was enough to get Yang Muyi to come over in the middle of the night with his men and take care of everything.

Regardless of the circumstances, Xu Hongmi has to accept this favor.

"Whatever you want, just remember to let me know once you've booked your tickets."

Just as he finished speaking and was about to hang up the phone, he saw Yang Muye walk into the ward.

Xu Hongmi asked Xu Hongdou if she wanted to say a few words to Yang Muye, and Xu Hongdou replied "No need" and then hung up the phone.

I've already decided to come to Shanghai this weekend. I'll express my gratitude to Yang Muyi in person later.

"Redmi, how are you feeling now?"

"Makino, thank you so much for last night."

"It's okay. On the way here, Xu Hongdou called me and said she wanted to come see you this weekend, but I had something to do that day, so I couldn't come with her."

"Going to a ball game?"

"Correct."

“Then I’ll try to talk to the doctor and get you discharged on Saturday morning so that Xu Hongdou can come and watch you play ball.”

Yang Muye introduced the female caregiver he had found to Xu Hongmi, and stayed in the ward for a while before leaving with peace of mind.

Just as Xu Hongmi was about to ask the caregiver to take her phone to charge for a while, Fan Shengmei called.

"Redmi, how are you feeling after the surgery?"

"Much better. Now I can walk with someone's help."

"Don't be stubborn, just lie down and rest. I'll come see you after get off work."

"Xiaomei, thank you for last night."

"You're thanking the wrong person. I only took you to the hospital. Your sister's boyfriend took care of everything else. It's all thanks to him, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to manage on my own."

Xu Hongmi originally wanted to tell Fan Shengmei that Xu Hongdou and Yang Muye did not have a clear relationship yet.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he held them back.

On the contrary, Fan Shengmei kept praising Yang Muye on the phone.

This morning, after arriving at the company, Fan Shengmei specifically went online to look up Yang Muye.

It's not a big deal if you don't check, but what you find is shocking.

I thought Yang Muyi was just a rich second-generation heir, but it turns out he is China's youngest internet millionaire.

He owns several companies, some making games, others incubating internet celebrities.

Even the recently popular BaWangChaJi milk tea shop was opened by Yang Muye.

Fan Shengmei had heard her colleagues mention Bawangchaji more than once at the company, all saying that they wanted to check out the first Bawangchaji store in Shanghai.

After reading Yang Muye's information, Fan Shengmei had very mixed feelings.

Why didn't I meet such a top-tier guy when I was in college?
Xu Hongmi sighed slightly as she listened to Fan Shengmei's jealous and envious words about Xu Hongdou on the phone. It's said that one shouldn't meet someone too amazing in their youth, otherwise, they'll never have a peaceful life.

If she could choose, Xu Hongmi would rather Xu Hongdou never meet Yang Muye.

However, he couldn't bring himself to say such "ungrateful" things in front of Fan Shengmei.

It's quite contradictory anyway.

On the other side, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing were on their way to class in the teaching building.

"red beans!"

Xia Qing caught up from behind.

"Is your sister alright after the surgery?"

"It's alright now. It was a minimally invasive surgery, and I can walk around today. Thank you for your concern."

Xia Qing hesitated for a moment.

"I happened to see you checking flight information this morning. Are you going to Shanghai?"

"Yes, my sister is expected to be discharged from the hospital this weekend, and I need to go see her then."

“I’m going to Shanghai this weekend too, let’s go together.”

Xu Hongdou looked at Xia Qing with some surprise.

"You're going to Shanghai too?"

At this moment, Chen Nanxing, who was standing to the side, had already realized what was happening.

"Qingqing, did your boyfriend agree to be Yang Muyi's helper?"

Xia Qing shrugged.

"Yes, I just casually mentioned it to him, saying that if he didn't have time, it would be fine, but he happened to be free this weekend, so I agreed."

It was quite unexpected for Xia Qing that Yu Tu would agree.

Although Yu Tu explained that Cheng Feng had also called him asking for his help, he couldn't refuse.

But Xia Qing always felt that this was not the real reason why Yu Tu agreed to be an "outsider".

Cheng Feng doesn't have that much influence.

It would be more like it would be Qiao Jingjing instead.

This is also what Xia Qing is most worried about.

Although it was unlikely that Qiao Jingjing would take the initiative to contact Yu Tu, Xia Qing was still a little uneasy.

"Your boyfriend is going, aren't you going with him?" Chen Nanxing asked curiously.

Xia Qing shook her head.

Yu Tu had no classes on Friday, so he took a plane early in the morning to familiarize himself with the venue and his teammates.

Xia Qing originally wanted to take leave to accompany Yu Tu, but she was worried that Yu Tu would think she was not prioritizing her studies and was neglecting her studies.

In the end, I could only take a flight there on Friday night.

Xia Qing didn't explain any of this to Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, only saying that she would be leaving half a day later than Tu.

Xu Hongdou nodded after listening.

She also wanted to go there as soon as possible, so she agreed to book a flight for Friday night with Xia Qing.

-

Friday night at 10 PM.

Arrival hall at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

Xu Hongdou and Xia Qing pushed their suitcases out of the passage and saw Yang Muyi and Yu Tu standing there from a distance.

After the two sides met, Yang Muyi took the two women's suitcases before they could get there.

Xia Qing initially thought she was just benefiting from Xu Hongdou's fame, but the next second Yang Muye explained:

"Xia Qing, thanks to you for persuading Yu Tu this time, we're counting on him to help our team win tomorrow's game."

Yu Tu bluntly exposed Yang Muye's "lie".

"Even if I don't come, you can still lead the team to victory."

Yu Tu arrived at noon today. In the afternoon, he teamed up with Cao Guang and Zhang Sheng to play several 3V3 matches. He was definitely the star player, carrying the whole team to victory.

After dinner, Yang Muye joined the training session.

Yu Tu and Yang Muyi played a 1v1 bullfight, and each of them won one round.

If they hadn't come to pick each other up at the airport, the two would have been planning to play a third game.

The main reason is that Yu Tu wants to fight.

Because he felt that Yang Muye hadn't taken the previous two matches seriously, especially the one where Yang Muye lost.

At this point, Xu Hongdou stepped forward to act as a peacemaker.

"Alright, you two stop praising each other. We'll see who's better on the field tomorrow."

The four of them left the airport together, but did not ride in the same car.

Yang Muye booked two rooms for Yu Tu and Xia Qing at a hotel near Southeast University.

Originally, they were going to book a room for Xu Hongdou as well, but after Xu Hongmi learned that Xu Hongdou's flight to Shanghai was tonight, she asked Xu Hongdou to stay at her place.

Anyway, Xu Hongmi is hospitalized, so the room there is empty.

Xu Hongmi has already given Yang Muye the address.

After getting into the car, Yang Muye told the taxi driver:
"Driver, go to Joyful Song residential area."

This was the first time Xu Hongdou had ever heard that the neighborhood where her sister rented was called by such a name.

"Did you learn a song in elementary school music class that was also called 'Ode to Joy'?"

"Are you talking about the song 'Goddess of Joy, holy and beautiful, whose radiant light shines upon the earth'?"

Yang Muye sang two lines a cappella.

Xu Hongdou nodded vigorously:

"Yes, yes, that's the song. My sister's neighborhood is even called Ode to Joy, which is pretty trendy."

Yang Muye laughed and said, "You haven't heard of anything even more fashionable."

Xu Hongdou immediately understood and asked cooperatively, "Then may I ask what the name of the neighborhood you live in is?"

"iPartment!"

what?
Xu Hongdou's eyes widened.

If Yang Muye hadn't pulled the taxi driver aside to testify that there really was such a residential area next to Dongda University, Xu Hongdou would have definitely thought that Yang Muye had made up the name.

Seeing Xu Hongdou's astonished expression, Yang Muye smiled.

Tell me, is it a city or not?
An hour later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the Joyful Song residential complex.

Fan Shengmei, dressed in a white dress and looking beautiful, was already waiting at the entrance of the residential area.

Upon seeing Xu Hongdou get out of the car, he immediately came to greet her.

Such enthusiastic behavior made Xu Hongdou feel a little embarrassed.

"Sister Xiaomei, you're too kind. You even personally greeted us at the door."

"fine!"

Fan Shengmei patted Xu Hongdou's hand and said.

After Yang Muyi took Xu Hongdou's suitcase out of the taxi trunk, Fan Shengmei took Xu Hongdou's arm and led the two into the residential area.

On the way, Fan Shengmei quietly explained to Xu Hongdou.

The property management and security guards at Joyful Song residential community are somewhat "snobbish," treating homeowners and tenants very differently.

If a resident has visitors, they just need to call the property management and the gatekeeper will let them in directly.

However, this doesn't apply to tenants. If a friend or relative comes to visit, they must personally come to the entrance of the community to pick them up before they can enter.

The double standards are thorough and very true!
