Chapter 1731: Online Dating

Yang Ming still did not know the escort company’s happenings when he woke up early in the morning. However, even if Yang Ming knew, he wouldn’t be that anxious. From Yang Ming’s perspective, if a problem arose, he just had to solve it. It was no big deal.

Sin Jie was still asleep. It was apparent that she was still exhausted from last night.

Yang Ming’s biological clock was already established. After he woke up, he did some simple training and then ordered soya milk through the phone. After that, he opened his laptop and started surfing the internet.

It had been a long time since he felt so leisurely. During this time, Yang Ming felt like he had something to do every day. He had been busy for a few months.

“Huh?” Yang Ming was surprised when he saw “Wild Female Teacher”, Zhao Ying’s avatar, shining when he opened his Weibo. Usually, Zhao Ying would stay incognito. However, because her relationship with “There’s No True Love In This World” was close, she set it as “incognito but could be seen”.

“Why are you online so early in the morning?” Yang Ming was curious. He clicked on “Wild Female Teacher”‘s avatar and sent a smiling emoji.

“Wild Female Teacher” took a while to reply. However, she replied with an exhausted emoji.

“Why are you online so early in the morning? Don’t you have classes today?” Yang Ming asked.

“Wild Female Teacher”‘s reply speed was quite fast, “You’re up early too. Besides, it’s already eight. It’s not early anymore.”

“Seems like you came online much earlier than this?” Yang Ming said.

“I didn’t sleep last night. There’s no such thing as early or not,””Wild Female Teacher” complained, and sent a 💣.

“Didn’t sleep? That can’t be…” Yang Ming felt awkward for a while. When he thought of Zhao Ying’s situation yesterday, it was possible that she did not sleep at night. However, he had fun with Sun Jie for a whole night. It was unacceptable. It made Yang Ming feel bad.

“Why can’t it be? Alright, let’s stop talking about this. Want to play ‘fight the landlord’?” asked “Wild Female Teacher”.

“This… alright.” Yang Ming did not expect Zhao Ying to still have the spirit to play ‘fight the landlord’. However, since she wanted to, he would just accompany her.

“Song Jiang Netcom District 4, Room 12, hurry up,” said “Wild Female Teacher”.

“I’m here…” Yang Ming opened the game’s client and logged in. After that, he found the room that Zhao Ying mentioned. He found Zhao Ying at an empty table, and sat there.

After a while, a dummy named “Sharp Knife” entered the match. He sat beside Yang Ming and Zhao Ying, and the game started.

“Wild Female Teacher” did not bid, but “Sharp Knife” called for a bidding. Yang Ming received “Wild Female Teacher”‘s text, “I can definitely win this round. If you have any sets, quickly play them.”

“Oh…” Yang Ming replied. After “Sharp Knife” played a “3”, Yang Ming immediately threw out four “7”s, which made “Sharp Knife” dumbstruck. After he froze for a while due to shock, he sent a shocked emoji. He thought, You can actually play like this? He’s not even playing his cards based on usual strategy. Can he play any more cards after he threw out this set?

As “Sharp Knife” was feeling lost, Yang Ming played a small “3”.

“Sharp Knife” now knew what an expert was. He thought, Does this guy hate “3” so much? He played a combo set just for a “3”? That’s too dope!

“You’re too obvious. Why did you discard that? Have you forgotten how to cheat?””Wild Female Teacher” was a little displeased by Yang Ming’s way of discarding cards.

Yang Ming was a little speechless and smiled bitterly. Indeed, it’s been a long time since he had cheated together with Zhao Ying. Just now, he was trying to please Zhao Ying. When he saw Zhao Ying’s message, he got so emotional that he discarded a set, which resulted in this situation.

Yang Ming thought for a while, and wrote on the screen, “Argh, my hand shook, so I accidentally pressed on the hint button.”

“Sharp Knife” was happy when he saw Yang Ming’s explanation. Is that so? He really gave me a fright. I thought he had some big cards in his hand. So he discarded it wrongly! It seems like I have encountered someone who doesn’t know how to play this game. That’s fine. I can take the chance to win over him a little more!

After he wrote “hehe” on the screen, “Sharp Knife” waited for “Wild Female Teacher” to play her cards.

Zhao Ying sent Yang Ming a rolling eyes emoji. Originally, she could immediately play her cards after Yang Ming. However, she was afraid of “Sharp Knife”‘s suspicion, so she decided to just simply play one card.

“Sharp Knife” countered it with a “2”. Yang Ming did not challenge and decided to pass. However, Zhao Ying played a set of four “Aces”, which made “Sharp Knife” dumbstruck again. What does this mean? Did this “Wild Female Teacher” also press wrongly? Isn’t this too much?

Just as he was waiting for the next series while being shocked, “Wild Female Teacher” played all the cards in her hand. “Sharp Knife” lost four times his score.

“Sharp Knife” was now a little speechless. This time, she did not play wrongly. She played it because she had confidence. I lost really badly here! However, I can’t help it. Her cards were so good! If anything, that “There’s No True Love In This World” is to be blamed. He randomly discarded a set for no reason, which made the score shift.

However, “Sharp Knife” accepted his defeat. He didn’t believe that he would encounter a similar situation during the second round. He continued the card game.

During the second round, Yang Ming and Zhao Ying did not bid, while “Sharp Knife” continued to bid.

“Be careful this time!””Wild Female Teacher” reminded Yang Ming.

“Relax, I just wasn’t used to it just now,” Yang Ming replied.

This round, although Yang Ming and Zhao Ying were working together to cheat, they won with difficulty. They did not show any signs of cooperating, so “Sharp Knife” was not suspicious at all. When he lost, he just blamed his bad luck.

During the third round, Yang Ming was afraid that “Sharp Knife” would be suspicious. He called again, but lost at the end.

In the fourth round, Zhao Ying called, and won a risky victory. “Sharp Knife” who had won a little from Yang Ming just now lost again.

Although Zhao Ying and Yang Ming would lose every few rounds, they lost very little. As for “Sharp Knife”, he lost really badly. In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and quit while assuming that his luck was really bad.

As a result, Yang Ming and Zhao Ying waited for another dummy to come in. If anything, the one thing that this world does not lack in is dummies. Another nerd named “Fisherman X2” entered the room.

The result was expected for this “Fisherman X2” who came in with confidence. After he lost N amount of points, he backed out in defeat.

“How do you feel? Are you feeling better now since we won quite a lot?” Yang Ming messaged Zhao Ying privately when he saw that no one was entering.

“It’s fine… Oh, how did you know that I was feeling unpleasant?””Wild Female Teacher” asked curiously.

Yang Ming was surprised, and he looked at the chat history. Indeed, “Wild Female Teacher” had not told him about her unpleasant mood. Instead, he had viewed her as Zhao Ying, and knew that her mood wasn’t good. Because of that, he asked her very naturally about it, and had almost exposed himself. However, Yang Ming managed to improvise, and explained, “You did not sleep well for the whole night, and asked me to gain points with you so early in the morning. I guessed that you were in a foul mood again.”

Yang Ming specifically added “again” to show that he had come to this conclusion because she did this whenever she was feeling moody.

“Indeed, you understand me quite well.””Wild Female Teacher” did not think too much after she saw Yang Ming’s explanation.

“Hehe, indeed. I’m considered quite close to you already, so of course I understand you,” said Yang Ming.

“Have we known each other for half a year already? Time flies so fast. It’s been so long despite feeling just the blink of an eye.””Wild Female Teacher” was impressed as well.

“Indeed. If we were to develop further, we would be dating online already.” Yang Ming used a joke to test her.

“…””Wild Female Teacher” sent a series of ellipsis. It was apparent that she did not approve of Yang Ming’s jokes.

“Why? What’s the problem?” Yang Ming asked.

“It’s nothing. Let’s not talk about this topic,””Wild Female Teacher” started to panic. When she saw Yang Ming’s text, she suddenly realized that this “There’s No True Love In This World” seemed to have been integrated into her life unknowingly. When he talked about online dating, Zhao Ying realized that he seemed to be her best male friend online.

Chapter 1732: Sun Jie’s Idea

“Alright. Let’s talk about why you are not in a good mood l” Yang Ming knew that Zhao Ying was not so simple-minded. It seemed a little hard for her to accept him first online. Because of that, Yang Ming decided to take it slow. It wouldn’t do any good if he were to rush it.

“Actually… It’s nothing anymore.””Wild Female Teacher” didn’t seem like she wanted to talk about yesterday’s matter.

“Could it be that you saw the guy you liked together with another friend of yours?” Yang Ming decided to provoke Zhao Ying when he saw that she didn’t seem like she wanted to talk about it.

After the text was sent, Zhao Ying did not reply for a long time.

Is she afraid of me now? Yang Ming couldn’t help but be anxious. However, “Wild Female Teacher” replied in the end, “How did you know?”

“I guessed,” Yang Ming sent those two words pretentiously.

“You’re so awesome. I now know what a ‘Truth Emperor’ [1] means,””Wild Female Teacher sighed and said.

“Is that true? I just simply said it. I remembered the last time you told me about it, so I just casually brought it up…” Yang Ming explained.

“Actually, this isn’t really considered that bad. I don’t feel as bad as last time. Instead, I felt that it was very natural. I’m just feeling a little down,” said “Wild Female Teacher”.

“Hold on. Did you say that that guy is together with another one of your friends? How about that one from last time?” Yang Ming pretended to not know and asked with surprise.

“Of course they got together. I told you before that he has a few girlfriends,” said “Wild Female Teacher”.

“Is that so? He’s such a legend,” Yang Ming snickered and texted back.

“Yang Ming, who are you talking to so early in the morning?” Unbeknownst to Yang Ming, Sun Jie had already woken up. She held a cup of hot water and walked to Yang Ming’s back in her sleeping robes.

“Zhao Ying,” said Yang Ming.

“Oh…” Sun Jie nodded her head. Suddenly, she sprayed the water in her mouth onto Yang Ming’s laptop screen. “What did you say? Zhao Ying?”

“…” Yang Ming speechlessly raised his head, “Must you be so shocked? My pitiful laptop. I think it’s done for.”

“Isn’t it just a laptop? What’s wrong with it? If anything, I’ll just buy another one for you!” Sun Jie said indifferently. She lowered her body and closed in on the laptop’s screen. “Let me see what you both are saying. Wow, you hooked up with her so fast?”

“What do you mean hooked up? Just have a look.” Yang Ming did not hide it, and passed the laptop over to Sun Jie. However, Yang Ming’s gaze fell onto Sun Jie’s chest…

The sleeping robes were loose to begin with. When she lowered her head, the sight inside leaked out, tempting Yang Ming. He couldn’t resist, and extended his hand inside.

“Stop messing around. Wasn’t last night enough?” Sun Jie hit Yang Ming’s hand, and held her robes to her chest. However, Yang Ming’s hands had entered from the bottom of the robes.

This time, Sun Jie could not stop him. She simply stared at Yang Ming, and did not bother with him anymore. She started to look at the chat history on the screen.

There wasn’t anything interesting in the first few conversations. However, Sun Jie’s expression turned more and more interesting the more she looked at it. In the end, she finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Yang Ming, you’re too talented. Are you playing as an undercover agent? Does Zhao Ying not know that this is you?”

“She shouldn’t know…” Yang Ming nodded.

“This legend… You aren’t even ashamed about praising yourself?” When Sun Jie reached the end, she couldn’t help but criticize him.

“I’m just being honest,” Yang Ming shrugged, “What should I do now?”

“How would I know what you should do now? Who knew that your relationship with her was so complicated.” Sun Jie got a headache when she remembered about Yang Ming and Zhao Ying’s relationship. It wasn’t that Sun Jie did not want them to be together, but she could not help in any way due to Zhao Ying’s personality. She wouldn’t make a move when you force her to, and she would back out when you try to push her.

“It’s not that complicated. Who knew that you would bring her there yesterday?” Yang Ming smiled bitterly.

“You’re blaming me now?” Sun Jie rolled her eyes at Yang Ming, “However, your conversation with Zhao Ying online reminded me about something. With Zhao Ying’s personality, and the situation you two are in now, it will be very hard for you to make any breakthrough or progress. Zhao Ying lacks confidence. How about you try to date her online?”

“Date her online?” Yang Ming was surprised, “Are you serious?”

“Of course. You conquer her online first, then invite her for a meetup,” Sun Jie said. “You can make some things clear first. Even if Zhao Ying backs out when she sees you, she can’t change the relationship that she had built up previously.”

Yang Ming was deep in thought when he heard Sun Jie’s words. Sun Jie’s idea is really novel, and it might even have an unexpected outcome.

“I’ll try it then,” Yang Ming nodded. “Aren’t you jealous?”

“Jealous? I don’t have the time for that. I want to go back to Donghai today. There are some matters at the office which have not been completely settled yet. Tian Donghua couldn’t handle it, and kept complaining about them to me,” said Sun Jie.

“Don’t care about it. We should just let him train himself. Only by experiencing the hardest hardships can one rise above others,” said Yang Ming.

“I’ll come back in just a few days. Besides, it’s not like you can accompany me every day, right? ” Sun Jie touched Yang Ming’s forehead, “Good boy. Sister will bring gifts back for you.”

“Then I want an MP4,” said Yang Ming.

“MP4?” Sun Jie was stunned for a moment. But then she remembered. Sun Jie, who was rarely shy, blushed. The MP4 Yang Ming talked about was probably referring to the MP4 that had special contents inside it when they first met. At that time, Sun Jie was merely teasing Yang Ming because he was still new to dating. However, thinking back to it, she did have some intention to flirt with Yang Ming back then.

“I’m just joking. Leave early, and you can come back early.” Yang Ming smiled, “Take care.”

“En,” Sun Jie nodded, “Yang Ming, why does it feel like you’re older than me?”

“You aren’t even that old to begin with,” Yang Ming said seriously.

“Is that so? Why does it feel like you’re older than me though?” Sun Jie acted like a kid whenever she was in front of Yang Ming in many situations. Although this feeling was not bad at all, it made Sun Jie feel like she liked to act young.

“Other than your bust size, nothing else is big.” Yang Ming stood up and hugged Sun Jie’s shoulders, “Alright, stop thinking too much about it. I prefer your happy go lucky personality.”

“Oh…” Sun Jie answered. Suddenly she pointed at Yang Ming’s screen, “Look. Zhao Ying is talking to you.”

Yang Ming smiled lightly when he saw Sun Jie change the topic, and he did not expose her. He opened up “Wild Female Teacher”‘s chatting window.

“Someone came into the room. Let us continue.”

“Hello? Quickly start the card game!”

“What are you doing? Why aren’t you starting?”

“Are you there?”

“… that person is gone.”

“What are you doing? Are you not there anymore?”

“I’m going to school now. I have a class at ten. I’ll talk to you next time.”

While Yang Ming was talking to Sun Jie, “Wild Female Teacher” had sent a few texts.

Yang Ming glanced at “Wild Female Teacher”‘s avatar, and realized that it had turned grey. It seemed like she had gone offline.

“I’m sorry, something came up just now. We’ll talk next time,” Yang Ming replied apologetically.

Just as Yang Ming was about to shut down his laptop, a dialog box appeared at the bottom right of his laptop screen. It notified him of important news. Originally, Yang Ming did not really care about it and simply glanced at it. However, his face suddenly turned serious, and he quickly clicked on the news.

“One of the Song Jiang Ming Jiang Escort Company’s armored vehicles has disappeared. It contained a billion yuan. It’s suspected that the management is corrupt, and it was an internal crime.”

It was news relating to the disappearance of Liu Xiaolei’s escort vehicle. Yang Ming knew about this Ming Jiang Escort Company, and he knew that it was created jointly by the Ming Yang Security Company and the Jiangyan Group. He never expected such a big thing to happen.
