Chapter 68 – Ming-ge ge (1)
Before they took off, Zhong Yuhuan exchanged contact information with all her buddies that she had been hanging out with; this included cell phone numbers, email addresses, MSN, penguin IDs, etc…. to make sure that they would be able to stay in touch in the future.
Once Zhong Yuhuan finished packing, the three of them headed to the airport.

Lang Jinzhi was too busy to see them off from the airport, but he did give Zhong Yuhuan a call.
“I have an old classmate who works in Birmingham. Once you are over there, if you have any questions, you can reach out to him. My secretary had already texted you his contact information….”
“Mmm, thank you, cousin.” As Zhong Yuhuan was talking on the phone with her head lowered, she gave her suitcase a kick without thinking.
Lang Jinzhi paused for a little bit and said in a low voice, “I’ll keep an eye out on the Zhong’s.”
Zhong Yuhuan smiled even happier, “Thank you, cousin.”
“It’s getting late. You should board.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yuhuan checked her inbox. Sure enough, she saw a message from Secretary Cheng.
In addition to that, there was also a message from Zhong Chi’s secretary.
“Mr. Zhong had already sent over your allowance. Once you arrive, there will be someone by the name of Chloe to come and pick you up. She will give you the keys to your new place.”
Zhong Yuhuan turned off her phone.
She wasn’t going to turn down Zhong Chi’s money because of pride.
Of course, she was going to spend his money. Not only that, she wanted Zhong Chi to voluntarily give her more money. That way, she might be able to save up some of her allowances, it’d come in handy whether to keep them for herself or as capital for Huo Chengming when he launched his career.
Zhong Yuhuan looked up and smiled at Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan and said, “Let’s go. It’s time to board.”
The three of them quickly boarded the plane with their suitcases.
Nobody else accompanied them on this trip.
Zhong Yuhuan found Chloe at the exit after they have landed. Chloe drove and took them first to where they would be staying.
Zhong Chi had prepared for them a high-end apartment that wasn’t too far from the school.
Chloe left after giving them the keys. Before leaving, she told them that she’d be back the next day to take them to school.
They were strangers in a strange land, but Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan were no longer the two kids who had just walked out of the Welfare Services. They were neither anxious or shy.
They boiled some water and poured a cup of water for Zhong Yuhuan before they started looking for restaurants nearby.
All Zhong Yuhuan had to do was rest on the couch.
“We are going to be staying in the dormitory until we graduate and only come back here when school is out, so there’s no need to unpack now,” said Zhong Yuhuan as she placed her chin on the armrest of the couch while watching Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan moving around.
“Okay.”
They had picked a boarding school. The school was quite strict and required them to stay in the dormitory all the way until graduation. The only time they could leave was when school was out.
After they have put down their stuff, they picked a Chinese restaurant close by for dinner.
Naturally, Chinese restaurants overseas did not remotely match up to the ones in China. Zhong Yuhuan was used to food in China so she was a bit pickier. After a few bites, she started biting the spoon for fun.
Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan noticed her action right away.
“Was it not good?” asked Li Jinyuan.
“Mmm,” nodded Zhong Yuhuan.
Li Jinyuan thought about it for a bit, smiled and said, “I will go learn how to cook, so I can cook for you in the future.”
“Okay!” Food in UK made Zhong Yuhuan feel despair.
Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan, on the other hand, were not very picky, even if they had already gotten used to fanciful living style and food during their stay at the Zhong’s.
