During the artificially long rest after the first phrase, Yang Jingxing said to Chai Litian and the others: "You go first, I'll take a call."

Several girls nodded, but Kong Chenhe was still curious: "I changed the ringtone, it's that one..."

Yang Jingxing turned around and walked away. He took out his mobile phone from his windbreaker pocket and saw an incoming call from Tao Meng displayed on the screen.

Standing on the edge of the lawn before the good time of year, looking at the statue of the great master Huang Zi, Yang Jingxing raised the phone to his ear, and pressed the answer button when the second phrase of the ringtone ended.

Confirming that the connection was successful, Yang Jingxing said hello: "Hello..." the second time softly.

"Hello?" the receiver said "(("The short fourth sound coming from the novel was Tao Meng's voice.

"Tao Meng..." Yang Jingxing seemed to want to confirm, or he was restraining the surprise of not seeing each other for a long time, or it was an exaggeration between ordinary friends.

"Yang Jingxing, are you free tomorrow? I have some things to return to you." Tao Meng seemed to be doing other things, and her tone of voice was not very focused, but it was also familiar to Yang Jingxing, the kind that the monitor used when assigning tasks to classmates.

Be polite and respectful.

Yang Jingxing thought about it for a moment, and then asked without resistance: "What?"

Tao Meng explained: "I'm going abroad in a while. It's inconvenient to keep these things at home. Do you still want them?"

Yang Jingxing asked: "When will we leave? Probably."

Tao Meng said: "At the beginning of next month."

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Where to go? Study abroad?"

Tao Meng said: "Transfer to Harvard."

Yang Jingxing said: "Oh, okay... I won't congratulate you. It was expected."

Tao Meng asked again: "Do you want anything?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I want..."

Tao Meng said: "Okay, when is it convenient for you?"

Yang Jingxing said, "You can send someone to my school right now. I'll wait and call you when you get there."

Tao Meng thought for a moment and said: "...I don't have time in the afternoon. Will you be at school tomorrow?"

Yang Jingxing also thought: "... Just send someone to deliver it."

"No." Tao Meng said seriously: "I don't want to have any misunderstandings at home, so it's better for me to go there by myself, and I still have to get my things."

Yang Jingxing asked: "Can I not pay it back?"

Tao Meng said: "Okay."

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Can you not return it... as a souvenir?"

Tao Meng reiterated: "I want to go abroad. It's inconvenient and there's no need to keep it. Just forget it if you don't want it."

Yang Jingxing said: "Then make an appointment to meet tomorrow. Whatever is convenient for you, I can do it."

Tao Meng said: "I have no problem with it, just tell me."

Yang Jingxing said, "Can I go to your house to pick it up?"

Tao Meng hesitated for a moment: "Let's make an appointment to meet."

Yang Jingxing asked: "Are you going to school tomorrow?"

Tao Meng said: "If you don't go tomorrow, everything will be done."

Yang Jingxing wrote: "Please tell me a place."

Tao Meng thought for a moment and asked: "Is there any convenient place near your school? I won't waste your time."

Yang Jingxing said: "It's okay, I won't go to class."

Tao Meng said: "When do you have no classes?"

Yang Jingxing said: "There will be no classes tomorrow."

Tao Meng seemed to have no idea: "Okay... I remember there are many cafes next to your school."

Yang Jingxing said: "I haven't been there often... let's just come over when it's convenient and find a place then."

Tao Meng said: "I have no problem... Then I will go there in the afternoon and arrive at three o'clock, okay?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Okay, I'll wait for your call."

Tao Meng said: "Okay... It's just a simple meeting. It won't take long. If your girlfriend minds, you can let her come with you."

Yang Jingxing felt very unsure: "Probably not..."

Tao Meng said: "Okay, goodbye."

Yang Jingxing: "Goodbye."

After two or three seconds, the call was hung up from Tao Meng.

Putting down the phone, Yang Jingxing looked around and found the direction. He walked about thirty meters, turned left, walked another twenty meters, and stood at the entrance of the cafeteria.

At noon on Sunday, the cafeteria was quite deserted and there were few girls. Yang Jingxing observed it and turned to the parking lot.

Qi Qingnuo asked Yang Jingxing to go upstairs to his home to admire the design of the bar. Yang Jingxing refused and insisted on challenging his girlfriend's football skills.

Qi Qingnuo came down without even bringing her bag and complained: "My mother has to cook again, can you come less?"

Yang Jingxing drove: "Why don't you go skating? It will consume a lot of money?"

Qi Qingnuo strongly suggested: "Take my mother with you and get another point!"

Yang Jingxing said: "The key is to increase points for Nuonuo... I have something to report to you, and I guess I will lose points."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "The ups and downs are interesting, but it doesn't matter."

Yang Jingxing drove slowly, looked at his girlfriend seriously, and said, "Tao Meng called me earlier. She is going to study abroad and we made an appointment to meet tomorrow."

Qi Qingnuo looked at Yang Jingxing with a smile: "...Behead first and then play?"

After a brief silence, Yang Jingxing expressed that he was ready: "Just tell me how much you mind."

Qi Qingnuo's smile changed: "Is it recorded? Let me listen."

Yang Jingxing shook his head.

Qi Qingnuo was too lazy to laugh: "She called you? When was the last time you contacted her?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I haven't contacted him yet."

Qi Qingnuo nodded in belief and expressed concern: "What topic? What are you going to talk about? Have you said it yet?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I originally gave you some things and said you would return them to me."

Qi Qingnuo laughed again: I guess there are quite a few...so amazing?"

Yang Jingxing said nothing.

Qi Qingnuo seemed happy for her boyfriend: "Are you very excited?"

Yang Jingxing said: "What I care about is your opinion."

Qi Qingnuo didn't think so: "Does my opinion matter? It's between you."

Yang Jingxing begged: "Don't talk like that."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "How else can I say this!?"

Yang Jingxing suggested: "Let's not discuss it yet and think about it calmly."

Qi Qingnuo didn't understand: "What are you thinking about? Am I very impulsive now?"

Yang Jingxing simply stopped the car, his movements were slow, but his tone was more earnest: "I have been with Tao Meng. No matter what, I should respect the past and face the past..."

Qi Qingnuo nodded: "Yes, respect, so we have to meet...to maximize happiness, we are afraid that she will be unhappy, so we have to meet! Right?"

Yang Jingxing wanted to drive again: "Let's go out for a walk and go for a drive."

Qi Qingnuo did not refuse.

After the car drove out of the community, Qi Qingnuo, who had calmed down for a while, was willing to look at Yang Jingxing, and his tone became gentler: "How did you talk?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "We didn't talk about anything, we just talked about things."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "Does she want you to give up or... does she also respect the past?"

Yang Jingxing begged: "Nono, I hope you can see the problem from my perspective and yours now, no matter what else."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Why don't you stand in my shoes?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I once had a girlfriend, and we broke up because of her family's objections. This is a problem that we need to face together. If you say you don't mind at all, I don't believe it. The key is that now we are one, and I

The first thing to consider is not to affect us."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "I admire your confidence... What did you think about it?"

Yang Jingxing said: "In my opinion, meeting Tao Meng and me is not a betrayal of you and me. It may make you feel a little sad when you think back to the past, but that's all..."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Are you sad or is she sad?"

Yang Jingxing admitted: "I will, because I liked her, just like I like you now. I also respect her, even now, so when she said she wanted to return the things to me, I didn't refuse..."
