“The things in the future, let’s talk about it in the future…” Chen Mengyan said faintly, “Zhou Jiajia is really worth our sympathy…”

Yang Ming looked at Chen Mengyan with some shock. For the first time, and this was definitely the first time, Chen Mengyan wasn’t angry with the entanglement between himself and other girls, and she wasn’t even jealous!

“You mean…” Yang Ming looked at Chen Mengyan and thought it was incredible.

“Can we stop talking about this, okay?” Chen Mengyan shook her head and said, “Everything, let’s wait until she wakes up and then we’ll talk about it.”

“Okay.” Yang Ming replied, “However, I’ll have to go to the hospital often to visit her during this time. You won’t be angry at this, right?”

“Of course not.” Chen Mengyan smiled and said, “Who do you think I am? How can I be angry with a patient?”

“Thank you, Mengyan.” Yang Ming said, “Thank you for your understanding.”

“Why are you saying this? She was hurt because of you. So, if I have the time, I will go and visit her too,” said Chen Mengyan.

At 8:00 p.m., CCTV’s highest-rated program, the Chinese New Year’s Gala, began its live broadcast.

Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan came to the living room and sat with the four elders to watch the Chinese New Year’s Gala. Although many people say that the Chinese New Year’s Gala program had a lower quality year after year, the viewership was still going very strong.

With no other choice, the Chinese New Year’s Gala had become a must-see TV show for the Chinese New Year’s Eve of the Chinese New Year. People all over the country from all walks of life were sitting in front of the TV at this moment watching the same program.

Ever since CCTV started to organize the Chinese New Year’s Gala, the annual Chinese New Year’s Eve became the most concerned and celebrated event every year. Everyone would have Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner and wait for the opening of the ceremony at 8 o’clock.

This had become a kind of expectation, a kind of waiting, a kind of habit, a kind of Chinese New Year complex that couldn’t be erased easily. The Chinese New Year’s Gala was watched year after year, even though sometimes it was disappointing.

However, it was livelier for the two families to watch the Chinese New Year’s Gala together. Although Yang Ming’s family would be watching the Chinese New Year’s Gala every year, it had always been the three of them sitting on the sofa, watching quietly and they rarely spoke.

Because they were too familiar with each other. Whatever they wanted to say, they would have already said it. Therefore, they would be able to watch the television in peace.

But now it wasn’t the same. The two families were very lively. While watching the Chinese New Year’s Gala, they were mutually giving comments on the TV show while eating snacks and having some drinks. The atmosphere was filled with joy.

However, Yang Ming’s cell phone rang untimely.

“I’m sorry. Let me pick up the phone call.” Yang Ming said embarrassingly to everyone, and then he got up and walked to Chen Mengyan’s room.

The caller ID was an unfamiliar cell phone number, and Yang Ming was baffled as he picked up the phone call. Could it be a wrong number? This kind of incident wasn’t unpopular, and it often appeared in the newspapers. During the Chinese New Year, when calling their friends, many people inexplicably made phone calls and sent text messages to people they didn’t know. When they asked, they found out that there were too many people to celebrate the Chinese New Year with. Some people who weren’t familiar with their friend’s phone number would have pressed the wrong number.

” Hey ? Hello, who are you looking for?” Yang Ming picked up the phone.

” Hey , are you Yang Ming?” The other party asked directly.

“I am… May I know who you are?” Yang Ming saw that the other person was looking for him, but the voice of the other party was very unfamiliar. It was a woman’s voice, and Yang Ming felt even more baffled.

“I am Zhao Ying’s mother!” said the other party.

” Oh ? Hello, aunty, Happy Chinese New Year!” Yang Ming said quickly. I was thinking about making a phone call to visit during the New Year, but I didn’t expect Zhao Ying’s mother to call me first.

“You are Zhao Ying’s boyfriend?” asked Zhao Ying’s mother.

” Ugh … I am.” Yang Ming suddenly sweated, but he quickly accepted it.

“You hurry up and come over! There’s an urgent matter!” After Zhao Ying’s mother confirmed his identity, she immediately said anxiously.

“Come over? Where am I going? What’s the urgent matter?” Yang Ming asked, confused.

“Come to my area here!” Zhao Ying’s mother explained, “Zhao Ying was injured by a neighbor’s child with firecrackers. She is now being treated in the hospital!”

“What?” Yang Ming exclaimed, “She was hurt by firecrackers? What firecrackers?”

“I don’t know too much either. Maybe it was some Big God Canon…” Zhao Ying’s mother said, “Come quickly. Her situation is very dangerous now!”

” Ah …” Yang Ming didn’t know what Big God Canon was, but the name indicated that the impact was definitely not small. So, he quickly said, “Okay, then I’m buying the ticket to fly there now. You tell me the detailed address!”

“After you come directly to L City, you can give me a call!” said Zhao Ying’s mother.

“Okay, then I would book the earliest ticket as soon as possible.” Yang Ming said in a hurry.

“What’s wrong?” Looking at Yang Ming hanging up the phone, Chen Mengyan who was beside him asked. Just now, when she saw Yang Ming talking on the phone for a long time, she came in to see what happened. She vaguely heard something mentioned over the phone about a boyfriend, so she couldn’t help but ask.

Yang Ming hesitated for a moment and felt that there was no need to hide this matter from Chen Mengyan. He was only pretending to be Zhao Ying’s boyfriend. If he concealed it, it would be even more suspicious! Moreover, if he was eager to buy a ticket to fly to L City during the New Year, it wouldn’t work if there was no suitable reason!

So, Yang Ming explained, “Mengyan, the phone call was from Sister Ying’s mother.”

“Sister Ying? Why was her mother calling you?” asked Chen Mengyan.

“This was the case. Zhao Ying’s parents wanted to introduce her to a boyfriend. She didn’t like him, but her parents thought that the man was good. Therefore, Zhao Ying discussed this with me and used me as a shield. She said that I was her boyfriend so that her parents wouldn’t continue to introduce her to more guys.” Yang Ming explained.

“Then what about you going to L City? Are you actually going to her house so that her parents can have a look at you?” Chen Mengyan felt that this wasn’t anything big, but having her boyfriend loaned out to others was still very uncomfortable.

“This wasn’t the case. Zhao Ying’s mother just called me and said that Sister Ying was injured by an explosion from the neighbor’s children with firecrackers. She was admitted to the hospital and the situation was very serious. She told me to go immediately,” said Yang Ming.

” Ah ? She was injured from an explosion?” Chen Mengyan was shocked after listening to it. “What happened? Was it serious?”

“I don’t know too much about it, but it was said that she was in the hospital. So, the situation shouldn’t be very good.” Yang Ming said, “Mengyan, no matter what, Sister Ying was good to me. It is reasonable for me to visit her.”

“This isn’t a bad idea. But if you go now, how do you plan to talk to your family about it?” Chen Mengyan asked worriedly. To say that there was something between Zhao Ying and Yang Ming, Chen Mengyan had never thought about it that way.

Zhao Ying was her and Yang Ming’s teacher in high school, and she felt just like a big sister. Chen Mengyan wouldn’t draw any connection between those two people. Moreover, Chen Mengyan and Zhao Ying were also very familiar with each other. She didn’t think that Zhao Ying had any feelings for Yang Ming.

So, she wasn’t worried about this. She was just worried about how Yang Ming would describe it to his family.

“Just be honest with what happened. Sister Ying was our high school teacher, and she was very good to me. I can say that she was very helpful to me before the college entrance examination, so it should be normal for me to visit her,” said Yang Ming.

“That’s true, too. Then you go ahead and speak to them. I’ll get my dad to book a ticket for you. His unit was more special. It’ll be more convenient to book these things,” suggested Chen Mengyan.

” En . Let’s go. We’ll go out together.” Yang Ming nodded gratefully.

When he came to the living room, the adults from both families were watching TV and didn’t pay attention to them. After Yang Ming sat down, he said, “Dad and mom, I want to go to L City for a while.”

“Go to L City? What’s happening?” Yang Dahai was stunned, and he said, “What joke are you making? What are you going to do there?”

“Dad, I…” Yang Ming did felt a bit difficult to explain. Although Zhao Ying was his high school teacher and it was reasonable to go and visit her, the key issue was why would he be the first to know about Zhao Ying being injured by firecrackers?

For this kind of thing, they shouldn’t receive news if it wasn’t someone who was particularly close. Of course, it was impossible to let his parents and Uncle Chen’s side know about the ridiculous event of pretending to be Zhao Ying’s boyfriend, otherwise, he would definitely receive a good scolding. First of all, his father wouldn’t even be able to forgive himself.

Seeing Yang Ming’s dilemma, Chen Mengyan spoke up. “Let me explain. Things were like this. Just now, Yang Ming and I thought that we should greet our high school teachers and classmates for Chinese New Year, so we called them one by one to wish them a Happy New Year. However, when it came to teacher Zhao Ying, it was her mother who picked up the phone. She said that Zhao Ying was injured by the firecrackers of the neighbor’s children. The situation was very serious, and she is in the hospital.

“When we were in high school, Teacher Zhao Ying was very helpful to me and especially Yang Ming. Moreover, Teacher Zhao Ying was also very approachable. We all called her Sister Ying, and our relationship with her was very good. Now that something happened to her, Yang Ming and I felt that we should visit her as soon as possible!”
