My sister-in-law from Qingdao

I quickly drove after them.

My cousin-in-law was walking on the shoulder of the road, and I was driving slowly beside her.

"Sister Xiaoya, let's get in the car. It's not safe with so many cars on the road."

Su Xiaoya tilted her head back, the wind blowing through her hair, and walked forward on her own, not even glancing at me.

"Sis, get in the car. Can we talk about it here?"

We walked like that for more than ten minutes. Some passing vehicles probably thought we were a young couple having a fight or a romantic relationship.

"Sis, get in the car."

"Get in the car, Sister Xiaoya. It's better to talk about it in the car. The wind is rather chilly."

I followed her around, trying to persuade her.

Finally, Su Xiaoya turned to me and said, "Chen Dong, let me be frank with you. If you agree to leave Shuiyunjian, we'll stay the same as before. If you don't agree, I won't recognize you from now on."

Looking at her pretty face and her stubborn expression, I knew very well that she was doing it for my own good.

When I planned to leave Shuiyunjian, I had only one purpose: to protect her properly.

Now that she wants me to leave Shuiyunjian, she is actually protecting me in another way.

Between water and clouds.

It seems to be a place for singing and drinking.

Actually, there are some shady, gray-area businesses involved.

Making a living in such a place is like licking blood off a knife's edge.

This is no exaggeration. Fighting is inevitable in places like this, and it's quite normal to accidentally get injured.

"Sis, I promise you, get in the car."

Hearing me say that, Su Xiaoya stopped in her tracks, her eyes softening instantly.

"Chen Dong, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. I would never lie to you."

"I'll trust you this once. We'll go straight to Shuiyun Pavilion. If you're too embarrassed to talk to Zhao Yun, I'll do it for you."

Su Xiaoya climbed into the car and said directly.

"Can we discuss this further? Can I stay for another six months before leaving?"

Su Xiaoya's expression immediately changed.

"Chen Dong, are you kidding me? If you keep doing this, I won't even need you to stop the car, I'll just jump out."

Your brother Chen Fang has already abandoned me and left. I don't want to see you follow in his footsteps.

What kind of place is Shuiyunjian? The customers in that kind of place are all drunkards and lechers, and the waiters there have no dignity whatsoever.

What else can the security guards in those places do besides fight? Your brother's already gone. What will I do if you lose an arm or a leg or something else happens to you?"

Su Xiaoya's eyes reddened again.

Seeing her heartbroken expression, I nodded solemnly and said, "Sister, can I have a day? I'll go to Shuiyun Studio today to say goodbye, and then I'll report to Linglong Embroidery Co., Ltd. tomorrow, is that alright?"

Su Xiaoya's expression softened slightly after hearing what I said.

"Okay, I know you're a sentimental person. Even though you haven't been working there long, you've formed friendships. Why don't you get together with them tonight and say goodbye?"

On the way back, Su Xiaoya talked to me a lot more.

She was still so gentle. I could tell from her words that she was worried about me and didn't want me to take risks in that kind of place.

She also said that foreign trade translation is a very noble profession, while being a henchman at Shuiyunjian is just being a petty thug.

Two hours later, the two of us returned to Qingdao.

Su Xiaoya didn't go home, but went straight to her company.

In her words, the company hasn't officially opened yet, but she has to keep a close eye on it.

After dropping off Su Xiaoya, I drove alone to Shuiyunjian.

The closer I got to Shuiyunjian, the more conflicted I became.

To be honest, I had a good time at Shuiyunjian. I had Brother Zhao Yun, Liu Dachuan, Ma Zhiyuan, and even my master Zhao Shuang.

The time spent with them wasn't filled with scheming and plotting; it was all about enjoying life to the fullest, eating meat and drinking wine to our hearts' content.

But Su Xiaoya is right. No matter what, I am an educated person. If I want to be an ordinary security guard, I don't need four years of undergraduate study.

Although my undergraduate degree isn't great, my parents still have high expectations for me.

When I parked the car and walked towards Shuiyunjian, Ma Zhiyuan came up and put his arm around my shoulder.

"Dude, what took you so long? I missed you! You should have been back last night after visiting the graves!"

This guy took out two cigarettes, lit them together, and put one in my mouth.

"I was planning to come back last night, but I didn't have enough time, so I didn't."

Just then, a security guard poked his head out from over there and said, "Brother Dong, Section Chief Liu wants you to come in and play Guandan."

"I don't know how to play Guandan, you guys play. I'm going to have a smoke and chat with Brother Ma."

Just then, my phone rang. I glanced at it and saw it was Mengyao calling.

Seeing Mengyao's phone number reminded me of this beautiful girl.

Seeing that Mengyao's name was saved in my phone, Ma Zhiyuan patted my shoulder meaningfully and said, "Dude, you're really something. You've only been here for two minutes and Mengyao already knows you're here."

This little girl used to ignore me completely, but ever since she found out we're buddies, she calls me "Brother Ma" all the time.

"Come on, it's not what you think."

Nevertheless, I went to the side and answered the phone.

Mengyao's gentle voice came through the phone: "Brother Dong, the receptionist said you're back?"

"Yes, I just got back."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the dorm. Come up here when you're done."

Mengyao's voice was very warm.

"Is something the matter?"

"Can't I come over if there's nothing wrong? I'm telling you to come over, so come over. I'll give you half an hour, I'll wait for you."

After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

When I returned to Ma Zhiyuan's side, this guy looked at me meaningfully and said, "Don't say I didn't warn you, Mengyao really likes you. She used to be so aloof, but now she smiles at everyone. I think it's because of you."

I laughed and shook my head, saying, "What kind of love can you find in a place like this?"

Ma Zhiyuan nodded subconsciously and said, "You can live without love, but you can't live without a one-night stand. In this life, you have to learn to seize opportunities."

Don't say I didn't warn you, Mengyao's figure is something most women can't compare to.

"Alright, alright, shut your mouth. I'm going to find Mengyao."

I'm about to leave, so I need to cherish my time. I don't know why this girl contacted me, but I should at least say goodbye.

As I walked towards the elevator, I heard Ma Zhiyuan's voice behind me: "Brother, pluck the flower while it blooms, lest you break a bare branch when it's withered!"

I turned around and laughed, "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable as a security guard."

"Tch, I'm a former soldier, but I can't compare to you, a college student. I've been squatting at the gate every day, and no pretty girl has ever invited me to sit in her dorm."

You've only been here a few days, and people already seem to miss you terribly.

Standing in the elevator, I thought of Mengyao's pretty face.

This girl is indeed quite pretty, but I don't know why she's singing along here.

After getting off the elevator, I walked another ten meters or so and arrived at Mengyao's dormitory door.

After I knocked, the door opened, and Mengyao's fair and pretty face appeared before me.

She was wearing a cream-colored spaghetti strap nightgown.

As the saying goes, she is charming and alluring.

Graceful and charming.
