Chapter 127 Adds Gift Giving
Chapter 127 Adds Gift Giving
In the parking lot of Ode to Joy, Zhang Liangjun slowly brought the car to a stop.
Guan Juer, in the passenger seat, didn't get out of the car. Instead, she looked at Zhang Liangjun and said earnestly, "Brother Zhang, why don't you come up and sit down? I have a gift I'd like to give you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liangjun turned to look at Guan Juer, who had a serious expression, stopped the car, turned off the engine, and opened the door. "Let's go then!"
When they arrived in 2002, no one was home. It was still early, and Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying hadn't returned yet. Guan Juer didn't let Zhang Liangjun sit down in the living room; instead, she took his hand and led him into the bedroom.
"Why don't you sit down and rest for a bit? I'll go get you a drink!" Guan Juer hesitated at this point, deciding to give herself a few more minutes to prepare.
"No need, I'll just have some water." Zhang Liangjun pointed to several bottles of mineral water on the bedside table. They were all unopened. "Oh, by the way, why do you keep several bottles of water on your bedside table?"
While Guan Juer found some tea leaves and boiled water to make tea, she answered Zhang Liangjun, "It's because we share an apartment! Sister Fan rests in the living room. If I go out to boil water at night, it will easily disturb Sister Fan's sleep, so I prepared a few bottles of water so that I can use them when I'm thirsty at night."
"So that's how it is!" Zhang Liangjun exclaimed again. Guan Juer is such a good girl! It's a pity she met me!
After making tea for Zhang Liangjun, Guan Juer closed the bedroom door and went to the bathroom. Zhang Liangjun waited while drinking tea, without urging her to hurry.
A dozen minutes later, Guan Juer came out of the bathroom, walked to the bedroom, and locked the door behind her. She went to the bedside, took the cup from Zhang Liangjun's hand, placed it on the table beside him, then pushed Zhang Liangjun down and whispered in his ear, "Brother Zhang, I want to give myself to you!"
Zhang Liangjun... Who would refuse such a wonderful gift?
Three minutes later, Guan Juer looked at Zhang Liangjun apologetically, "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry!"
Zhang Liangjun wiped away Guan Juer's tears, "Silly child! How can I blame you? But it will be better next time!"
"Then, Brother Zhang, are you going back tonight?" Guan Juer buried her head in Zhang Liangjun's arms, feeling somewhat dejected.
Taking out his phone, Zhang Liangjun replied to Guan Juer while texting, "Of course I can't go back! I'll stay with you tonight."
Fan Shengmei didn't return to Joyful Ode until 6:30 PM. However, she didn't find anyone else in Guan Juer's room, and she didn't even know Guan Juer had come home. After returning, she busied herself cooking, eating, and doing laundry.
Qiu Yingying didn't get back until almost nine o'clock. Fan Shengmei finally found someone to chat with, "Little Qiu, Guan Guan hasn't come back yet! Is she working overtime again?"
Qiu Yingying looked at Guan Juer's door with a complicated expression, as if she could see through the thick wooden door into the room, but she answered Fan Shengmei indifferently, "Maybe!"
Qiu Yingying was brought back by Qu Xiaoxiao. The two of them had hosted a gaming exchange team who could act as game coaches for Qiu Yingying's team members for a period of time to quickly improve their gaming skills. So they treated them to dinner that evening. Of course, as the sponsors, neither Qiu Yingying nor Qu Xiaoxiao drank alcohol; the task of entertaining them was left to the purchasing manager.
But when Qiu Yingying returned to the Joyful Song building, she saw Zhang Liangjun's Hongqi car. Before going inside, she wondered why Zhang Liangjun's car was parked there. Then, thinking about why Guan Juer hadn't come home and why her door was locked, she guessed the truth of the matter.
She only wanted Zhang Liangjun to help Guan Juer because she felt very sorry for Guan Juer's aggrieved look! But she never expected that Zhang Liangjun would help Guan Juer in this way! If she had known, she would have... never mind!
Qiu Yingying returned to her room with some difficulty. She had tried very hard to restrain herself from knocking on that door!
Lying in her bed, Qiu Yingying was filled with regret and inner turmoil. Did she really have to leave Brother Zhang? This thought startled her! Deep down, she had never considered leaving; she had only wanted Brother Zhang to focus on her. But now things had changed—Guan Guan was also…
No one expected that someone as carefree as me would one day suffer from insomnia!
The next morning, Fan Shengmei went to work early again.
Guan Juer opened the door and peeked out. Looking around and seeing no one, she happily turned to Zhang Liangjun to report, "They must have both gone to work. Brother Zhang, I'm going to take a shower! Wait for me!"
"Okay, go ahead!" Zhang Liangjun sat on the bed, idly studying the furnishings of Guan Juer's room. Sure enough, she was a young girl; almost all the decorations exuded a girlish atmosphere.
Guan Juer returned to the room. "Brother Zhang, that's enough. I absolutely have to give myself to you!"
Guan Juer wasn't Andy, after all, and didn't have a strong competitive spirit. So an hour later, Guan Juer opened the bedroom door, wanting to let the smell in the room dissipate. But when she opened the door, she found Qiu Yingying sitting on the sofa.
"Yingying! What are you doing here?"
Qiu Yingying glanced at Guan Juer, "I knew Brother Zhang was here last night!"
Guan Juer was a little embarrassed and only said, "Well... I'll go back and change my clothes first!" before quickly closing the door.
Inside the room, Guan Juer asked Zhang Liangjun with a distressed expression, "Brother Zhang, Yingying is outside! What should we do? It's so embarrassing, she heard everything!"
"It's alright, Yingying isn't an outsider!" Zhang Liangjun comforted Guan Juer. "It's alright, go change your clothes first."
When the door opened again, Qiu Yingying was still sitting on the sofa. When she saw Zhang Liangjun come out, all the anxiety that had been building up all night burst out. She hugged Zhang Liangjun tightly and said, "Brother Zhang, do you think I don't love you enough? Even Guan Guan, that good girl, can overcome those prejudices, but I'm timid and afraid to do anything!"
Zhang Liangjun understood what Qiu Yingying meant, and patted her on the back, "Yingying, it's not your fault, it's all my fault!" It's all the system's fault.
"I don't care anymore, I want to join you guys!" Qiu Yingying let go of Zhang Liangjun and grabbed Guan Juer's hand. "Guan Guan, you don't mind Qu Xiaoxiao and Sister Xiaotong, can you let me join too?"
Qiu Yingying hugged Guan Juer and burst into tears, as if she had truly lost something. Guan Juer was also affected by Qiu Yingying's reaction and hugged Qiu Yingying, crying as well, "As long as Brother Zhang can accept you, I'll do anything! Yingying, you don't need to be like this!"
Qiu Yingying stopped crying and looked at Zhang Liangjun, "Brother Zhang, is it true? Is what Guan Guan said true?"
Zhang Liangjun pulled the two of them to sit on the sofa. "Why are you crying? I never said I was going to give up on you! Yingying is so cute, how could I bear to let go? Besides, Andy likes both of you very much."
One sentence was enough to stop the two of them from crying, and they both looked at Zhang Liangjun. "You just mentioned Sister Andy?"
