The first one to go back is the Old Cui couple. No matter what, they are old and their energy is limited.
The Bai siblings send them out to the lift and the old couple told them to go in again because their driver is waiting in front of they lobby already.
After the old couple left, it was Ru Qing and her family. The movie has ended and the children was just watching cartoon and eating snacks when Ru Qing and her fiancé bring the children back.
Yang Liu didn't drink so he will be driving. Ru Qing is a bit drunk, his behaviour is a bit different as she hug Bai Yi Yang and call her adorable. Yang Liu can only sigh and help his fiancée.
"Be careful on the road Yang Liu ge, Ru Qing jie." Bai Yi Yang said and help press the lift for them.
"En. Thank you for inviting us over." Yang Liu said. Then, he also nod at Bai Yi Chen, Zhou Zhu Yao and Zhang Yong before leaving with Ru Qing and the children.
The children wave at each other happily especially Ru Jia. Ru Jia was shy in the beginning but she eventually open up. Ru Jia is 9 years old, only 1 year younger than Bai Yi Ling.
Bai Yi Ling look quiet and hard to approach at first but Bai Yi Fang is a social butterfly, it didn't take long for Ru Jia to start chatting with the sisters. Bai Yi Fang like befriending girls older than her, Ru Jia also find her adorable so the 3 girls click well.
It's just that Ru Lin who is 11 years old is a bit neglected. But he was cool with it too, anyway he only need to watch movie and eat snacks, what is the need to chat and giggle like the girls.
Bai Yi Fang told her eldest sister about the Ru siblings for a while. Since only Zhang Yong is there, she become unrestrained and say her words out. Bai Yi Yang listen and occasionally comment one or two words.
"I am going in first. I drank quite a bit." Zhou Zhu Yao said and everyone nod in understanding.
"Goodnight jie." Bai Yi Yang said and Zhou Zhu Yao hum, she immediately went into the guest room and rest. If Ru Qing also look drunk, then Zhou Zhu Yao shouldn't be much better, she also drank quite a lot. It's a pity that Yang Liu cannot drink with them.
Zhang Yong decided to stay longer as they all play video games. He compete with the children, Bai Yi Yang tried once but she is not as good as them, so, she just enter the kitchen to look what they have in the fridge.
Bai Yi Yang remember that she have bought a few packs of frozen instant food from the imported section of the supermarket.
G Supermarket in their town don't have this section, so, she was quite amazed with it to the point of purchasing some of the best sellers.
Since they have this, Bai Yi Yang decided to just reheat them as their supper. There are a few types of frozen pizzas, not so big so she took two of them out. Then, there is the best seller Buffalo's Chicken Mac&Cheese and Lasagna with Beef&Sauce. She look at the instructions and pop them into the oven one by one.
The smells of the food is very appetising so Bai Yi Mo ran from the living room in no time, it is not his turn to play game so he can be idle.
"What is this delicious smell?" Bai Yi Mo ask.
"Unhealthy but delicious frozen food." Bai Yi Yang grinned.
"I was just thinking about instant noodle but this is much better. Jie, did you buy it just now?" Bai Yi Mo ask.
"En, the G Supermarket here is amazing, they have a lot more stuff that the one in our town." Bai Yi Yang add.
"The seafood market is amazing too, it's so big and they have all kind of things. They have lobsters this big. Then crab this big, a lot of them. There are so many things and they all look delicious." Bai Yi Mo described with his hands.
"Really? That's amazing." Bai Yi Yang said.
"En. I wish they have one in our town so that we can eat them everyday." He add again.
"Then tomorrow when we go to City Qing, we must eat a lot of seafood." Bai Yi Yang pat Bai Yi Mo's head. The brother and sister chat for a while as they wait for the food to be heated.
Then, once it is done, Bai Yi Yang transfer they to the plates and they immediately turn into the kind of luxurious and beautiful food in Western Restaurant.
"Not bad ah." Zhang Yong said as they pause the game to eat first.
"Instant food." Bai Yi Yang said and grab a pizza. She stood up again and went to ask Zhou Zhu Yao if she wanted to eat or not. But Zhou Zhu Yao just hum and said that she is still full, she told them just to eat. Bai Yi Yang nod and close the door again. Then, she returned to eat with the rest.
"She don't want to eat?" Bai Yi Chen ask.
"En. Let her rest." Bai Yi Yang nod. Tomorrow they have to wake up early and leave to City Qing, them coming to City Nan this time is the beginning of their 2 weeks vacation but they mostly just stay at home this 2 days so it's more like moving into their new home instead of a real vacation.
"What time are you all leaving tomorrow?" Zhang Yong ask.
"Around 9.00 or 9.30 am. We travel to City Qing for the first time, so we will take it slow." Bai Yi Yang said.
"En. Last time I went there, some part of the road is under construction so you may need to watch out." Zhang Yong advice.
"Alright. I will remember that." Bai Yi Yang nod.
"Are you celebrating Xiao Mo's birthday there?" Zhang Yong ask again. If can he really wanted to go too but he is too busy, he can't just take holiday since time is critical.
"Yes. We will have a seafood feast!" Bai Yi Mo personally answer. He remembers Bai Yi Yang telling her about City Qung famous seafood.
"Good! City Qing is indeed famous for their seafood. You should eat a lot and grow tall." Zhang Yong laugh and pat Bai Yi Mo's head.
After supper and a short video games battle, it is already 11.00 pm so Zhang Yong need to leave now, what more, the Bai siblings need to rest early too. Bai Yi Yang send Zhang Yong out personally and tell her siblings to wash up before going to bed.
"I saw you fiddling with your phone a lot more than usual and you even answer calls privately 2 times." Zhang Yong said once they are inside the lift.
"I thought you already know. My gege told me that you ask about Ah Qi." Bai Yi Yang said. Zhang Yong fake a cough, a bit embarrassed that he ask behind her then pretend not to know anything.
"Well, I want to hear personally from you. You always answer your classmate's phone calls openly but this time, you went to the room to talk. It's easy for people to misunderstand." Zhang Yong said righteously.
"Misunderstood what?" Bai Yi Yang laugh.
"Obviously that matter…that you two are dating." Zhang Yong said it outright.
"Well, there is no need to misunderstand, Ah Qi is indeed my boyfriend. It's just that I haven't tell anyone about it." Bai Yi Yang turn to look at Zhang Yong and a light smile on her face form.
Just imagine how shock Zhang Yong is when Bai Yi Yang also admit it outright. She don't look like she is joking, she is saying it sincerely and her smile is also sincere. That Qi Sheng that they call Ah Qi is indeed Bai Yi Yang's boyfriend.
"Bai Yi Yang! He is 22 years old." Zhang Yong said angrily. His face turn red and a frown formed on his face.
"En, I know. That's why I didn't tell anyone about it." Bai Yi Yang said and walk out of the opened lift. Ling Zhao is not at the front desk anymore, it is empty.
Zhang Yong follow her out with annoyed expression.
"Do you understand that he is an adult and you are not?" Zhang Yong pull Bai Yi Yang arm to stop her.
"I know. But, you also doesn't see me as a teenage girl. I may look 16 but my mental age should be older than you, don't you think so? If you see it from that point of view, I am the one who shouldn't be dating a teenager that you think is appropriate for my age." Bai Yi Yang said.
Actually this is just her excuse. She know that her relationship with Ah Qi is a mess in other people's eyes, their real age doesn't match, her age before coming here doesn't match too. She was 25 years old, in a teenager body. Ah Qi is not a minor but he is still younger. At the first place she shouldn't have begin with Ah Qi but what to do now that she also like him.
"No matter what, you are still 16. You better break up with him." Zhang Yong said with red face. Whether this is jealousy or what, he also don't know. He even thought of waiting for her to turn 18 and here comes a man out of nowhere claiming her as his.
"Who is this man really? I don't think he is a distant relatives? How do you know someone from City Shan?" Zhang Yong didn't give Bai Yi Yang chance and immediately ask many questions.
"He is just someone that I like, his background, age, occupation, status and where he come from, is it important?" Bai Yi Yang sigh and said this with some annoyance.
Zhang Yong was taken aback and released her arm. It is indeed not important. Didn't he also like her even though he clearly know that it is wrong? What right does he have to question Qi Sheng. Most importantly, Bai Yi Yang really like him. What is his right to tell her to break up? He is not her father, not her brother, and not her boyfriend. What is his right?
"I have thought it through too. You also know that I am not stupid and ignorant, I know how to take care of myself and won't be cheated by men. What more being taken advantage of." Bai Yi Yang said in calmer tone this time.
Honestly, she also don't want to fight with Zhang Yong. She see Zhang Yong as a real friend. She have been thinking when to tell him and he brought it out so the time is just right.
"I know that you are smart. I am just worried. I am sorry." Zhang Yong took a deep breath and sigh.
"Apologies accepted." Bai Yi Yang pout and nod.
"What I asked you is not just for the sake of asking. I am worried that you got together with a man with unknown identity. The world is vast, people also varies in character." Zhang Yong said again.
"I know who he is, he is a good person." Bai Yi Yang said.
"Then, why can't you revel his real identity and introduce him as a distant relatives instead? I am worried that you are being tricked." Zhang Yong said.
"I am not being tricked. You know I have vast resources, I don't trust people easily. If I haven't done a background check, will I trust someone just like that?" Bai Yi Yang said with a small grin. It can be said that she did a background check in the beginning, Ah Qi in this world is quite similar to the Ah Qi that she know in her previous life.
"En. Then that's good." Zhang Yong feel bitter inside but can only smile bitterly.
Bai Yi Yang send Zhang Yong out of the building and Zhang Yong stop her from going further.
"You go inside. I parked my car just there." He said with a small smile.
"Alright. Then drive safely." Bai Yi Yang smile back and wave before turning around. This should be clear enough as a rejection. Going forward, she hope that they will remain friend and just friend.
Zhang Yong was sad but what can he do. He don't have the courage like Qi Sheng so he can only look at her from afar. He thought that time wasn't right now but he was in fact too late. Bai Yi Yang is not a superficial person, when she decided to bring someone into her life, it wasn't just a teenage fling, possibly she and that person will last forever. Did he even have a chance in the future?
Zhang Yong sigh and drive aimlessly that night. He have a sleepless night while Bai Yi Yang was quite relieved after letting it out.
She guess, Zhang Yong will slowly get rid of the extra feelings towards her right?
