Chapter 40
Xu Wanwan couldn't help laughing again, patting Ye Jinmeng's shoulder and saying softly, "Okay, be good, don't think about it anymore. This is our little secret and we must keep it confidential."
Ye Jinmeng nodded, "Um, don't worry Wanwan, I definitely won't tell anyone."
If outsiders knew about these things, they would definitely think the two of them were crazy. If they got caught and sent to a psychiatric hospital, it would be too miserable.
Ye Jinmeng saw the porridge she had thrown on the ground. Fortunately, there wasn't much left in it and the floor wasn't too messy. She reached out and wiped it clean with some paper towels.
Xu Wanwan changed her shirt and then sat at the desk to study English.
Ye Jinmeng lay on the bed, staring at Xu Wanwan's back, lost in thought. She couldn't help thinking that such a delicate and weak girl was actually enduring such great grievances. Alas, I was really hateful in my past life.
Wait! Did Wanwan just say that Ling Ge had feelings for her in his past life? Ye Jinmeng's eyes widened.
She remembered that when Wanwan was haunted by the nightmare, she had called out to A Ling. At that time, she had guessed that it was Ling Ge, but wasn't sure. Now it seemed to be confirmed!
Ye Jinmeng stroked her chin by herself. It looked like she, Ye Jinmeng, needed to start a new goal - play matchmaker for Ling Ge and Wanwan. Hehe!
Xu Wanwan didn't know what Ye Jinmeng was thinking at this moment. She just kept her head down, studying English intently.
"Ding dong~" Xu Wanwan's phone rang. She picked up her phone and saw it was a message from the class group chat.
Wu Mingshi: Tomorrow is the start of the National Day holiday. Most of you should go back home. Does anyone want to meet up for dinner tonight? @everyone
Wu Mingshi: I asked other classes and they basically all got together before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Wu Mingshi: Shouldn't we in our class also get together? [Grin]
Lu Renjia: I agree! [o(*^▽^*)┛]
Wei Youming: I approve. I wanted to get together after military training, but didn't see anyone suggest it and was too shy to bring it up myself [Grin]
Zhao Yi: No objection.
Wang Er: +1
Zhang San: Same
...
Everyone expressed their agreement to meet up tonight. After all, they had a full day of classes this afternoon, and out-of-town students were planning to go back home tomorrow. Local students didn't need to worry at all.
Wu Mingshi: @Xu Wanwan Wanwan, the other classmates have agreed. What about you, do you have time?
Xu Wanwan thought about it. Although this group didn't let up tormenting her in her past life to help Ye Jinmeng, she herself has let go of her grudges against Jinmeng. There was no need to hold on to resentment against these classmates either. She should participate in some normal activities that she should.
Xu Wanwan: Okay.
Wu Mingshi: OK!
Wu Mingshi: Since everyone agrees, let's meet at 6:30pm at the west gate of the school and go to the Haiyu Club together. I booked a private room there. Dinner tonight is on me!
Lu Renjia: Class monitor is awesome! (*^▽^*)
Zhang San: Class monitor is generous! [Thumbs up]
Wei Youming: Let's eat up class monitor tonight! [Laugh out loud]
...
Although Ye Jinmeng was lying in bed, she wasn't sleepy at all. At the moment, she was chatting with her mother who had been missing for a long time.
Madam Ye: Baby, your dad and mom will be home this afternoon.
Fatty Jinmeng: Really! That's so great! You finally came back!
Dad had handed over the company to Ye Jinchen at the beginning of the year. After mentoring him for half a year, he took Mom to travel around the world in June.
Now it seemed they finally remembered they still have this precious baby at home.
Madam Ye: By the way, your grandpa and grandma should be back around noon too. Let's have dinner at the Old Mansion tonight.
After Dad and Mom went abroad, Ye Jinmeng's paternal grandparents also followed suit and traveled overseas with her young uncle.
Alas, Ye Jinmeng liked her grandparents, but didn't really like her uncle! She always felt super awkward whenever she went back to the Old Mansion for dinner...
Her uncle Ye Junwen was 25 years old this year, only one year older than her brother. Her grandparents actually doted on her quite a bit too. It was just always so awkward.
But he was still her uncle and an elder after all. No matter how Ye Jinmeng personally felt, she couldn't show it outwardly. She quickly typed a reply to Mom.
Fatty Jinmeng: Sure, my dear mom!
Madam Ye: Okay baby, the plane is about to take off. See you at home!
Fatty Jinmeng: (づ ?3 ?)づ
Ye Jinmeng put down her phone and looked at Xu Wanwan again. She said in a low voice, "Wanwan, I only have one class in the afternoon. After it ends, I'll go home."
"What are your plans for the National Holiday? Are you going back home or staying at school?"
Xu Wanwan looked back with a smile, "I won't go back home. There's no one at my home anyway, doesn't make a difference if I go back or not."
Ye Jinmeng's eyes dimmed slightly, feeling heartache for Wanwan. It's so lonely for someone to be alone.
"Wanwan, do you want to come to my house? I'll have nothing to do anyway. Let's hang out together!" Ye Jinmeng's eyes lit up.
Xu Wanwan was stunned for a moment. She actually really wanted to see Ye Jinmeng's parents again, but didn't know if they would still be her parents in this life. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her emotions.
She hid the emotions in her eyes, and shook her head. "Let's not go. I may look for some part-time jobs that I can earn quite a bit over the seven days."
Ye Jinmeng felt a little disappointed, but with part-time jobs, her brother could help find a high paying one for Wanwan. That wasn't an issue!
Xu Wanwan stood up, stretched lazily, and casually said, "My class is having a gathering dinner tonight at the Haiyu Club. I heard that place looks for part-timers too with high pay and it's close to school. I can ask around about it tonight."
Ye Jinmeng knew about Haiyu Club. It was a high-end KTV with private dining rooms. You could dine and sing karaoke there. It was a nice leisure and entertainment venue, she just didn't know who the boss was.
"Alright, just be careful okay? Don't drink and call me right away if anything comes up." Ye Jinmeng was still worried about Wanwan, even if it was just meeting up with classmates.
"Okay, don't worry. I'll take care of myself."
