CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 91: HE WAS THERE THAT DAY TOO?

Sang Yu thought about the unfinished business and said, "It’s okay, he’s always been like this."

Xu Ru’an pondered for a moment, "Seems like he is."

Brother Jiang has always been this way.

"By the way, what brings you here?" Sang Yu asked.

Xu Ru’an said, "There’s actually nothing major. We’re planning to go mountain climbing in a few days and wondered if you want to join us."

The weather has been really nice lately, as it’s autumn and it’s getting cooler.

The sun is also quite good.

This is the most pleasant time to go mountain climbing.

"Sure, when?"

Sang Yu quite enjoys mountain climbing.

She used to love going alone when she had free time.

It’s quite relaxing.

"We’ve decided on three days from now, it’s our club, you’ve met them."

Sang Yu thought it over; she has to meet Liu Shumin to submit an article the day after tomorrow, so she has time in three days.

"Alright, I’ll go with you."

Xu Ru’an glanced toward the kitchen, "Will Brother Jiang join us?"

Sang Yu said, "He seems quite busy lately; I’ll ask him later."

"Okay, it’s decided. If Brother Jiang doesn’t go, I’ll come to pick you up."

Sang Yu waved her hand, "No need. Just tell me a location, and I’ll meet you there."

Xu Ru’an replied, "We’ve rented a car this time, so just wait for us to pick you up."

Seeing it was settled, Sang Yu found it hard to refuse.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you all at home."

After agreeing, Xu Ru’an didn’t linger and got up to say goodbye.

Once Jiang Jingming finished cooking, Sang Yu mentioned the plan to him.

Jiang Jingming said, "Sorry, I’m quite busy lately."

Sang Yu replied, "It’s okay, I figured you wouldn’t have time."

Sang Yu wasn’t surprised by Jiang Jingming’s response.

Jiang Jingming leaned close to her ear and said, "I’ll make it up to you tonight."

Sang Yu silently moved her chair aside, "No need."

Jiang Jingming easily pulled the chair back to his side.

Sang Yu suddenly bumped into Jiang Jingming’s embrace.

Jiang Jingming looked at her with a mischievous smile, "Saying one thing and meaning another is not a good habit."

Could Sang Yu really claim she wasn’t being contradictory?

That night, Jiang Jingming compensated Sang Yu thoroughly.

...

Three days later

Sang Yu wore a pair of Warrior sneakers today, specially prepared by Jiang Jingming for her mountain climbing.

She also wore a gray tracksuit and had her hair in a bun.

She looked like a lively sporty girl.

At nine in the morning, Xu Ru’an and the others arrived.

Xu Ru’an came to call Sang Yu.

Sang Yu heard the commotion, grabbed her bag, and headed out.

Upon leaving, she saw Aunt Pang.

Aunt Pang looked at Sang Yu, her eyes showing a hint of amazement, "Xiao Yu, you look really nice today."

Sang Yu felt a bit shy.

"People your age should dress bright and lively, it’s so beautiful," Aunt Pang said.

She often advised Xu Ru’an the same way.

At this age, like blooming flowers, one should be full of energy.

"Thank you, Aunt Pang."

Aunt Pang said, "Be careful when you go mountain climbing today, stay safe, alright?"

Sang Yu nodded, "Yes, we know."

Xu Ru’an said, "Mom, you’ve said it over ten times already, we’ve remembered."

Aunt Pang gently tapped Xu Ru’an’s head, "Alright then, no more nagging. Are you starting to find your mom annoying?"

Xu Ru’an raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I didn’t say that."

Aunt Pang looked helpless, "Okay, you should go now."

After saying goodbye to Aunt Pang, Xu Ru’an and Sang Yu left.

The car was already waiting outside.

Meng Wencheng stood beside the car.

Upon seeing Sang Yu, Meng Wencheng’s expression seemed slightly awkward.

"Ru’an, Comrade Sang Yu."

Sang Yu nodded towards Meng Wencheng, "Mr. Meng."

Xu Ru’an glanced at Meng Wencheng, then urged, "Sang Yu, get in the car quickly."

Once Sang Yu was in the car, Xu Ru’an looked at Meng Wencheng with a hint of reassurance.

Meng Wencheng gave a slight smile.

Actually, Meng Wencheng wasn’t that stubborn, he just felt a bit disheartened to find someone he admired was already married.

However, he always believed that the right person for him was on their way.

He just needed to become a better version of himself.

Seeing Meng Wencheng’s expression, Xu Ru’an felt relieved.

Once Sang Yu got in the car, everyone greeted Sang Yu.

"Sang Yu."

Sang Yu greeted them back, "Hello, everyone."

"I brought some food for everyone to try."

They were egg tarts, Sang Yu had specially made them.

Curiously, the group looked at the unusual item, "What are these? They don’t look familiar."

Sang Yu explained, "These are egg tarts, a kind of dessert."

"How amazing, it’s the first time I’ve seen dessert like this."

"They look quite delicious."

"I think so too."

Sang Yu gave each person two.

After taking a bite, someone immediately commented, "So delicious! It’s not like the overly sweet and greasy cakes, this one tastes just right. Is the filling made of eggs? It feels so tender and smooth."

Sang Yu explained, "It’s made with eggs and flour."

"No wonder, I smelled a hint of egg aroma."

"Really delicious, Sang Yu, you’re quite skilled."

Sang Yu modestly said, "I just made them casually."

"They really are tasty."

Xu Ru’an added, "I’m so jealous of Brother Jiang, getting to marry you and eat such delicious food every day. Let me tell you, Sang Yu’s fried meatballs are also super tasty, I love them."

Someone caught onto a key detail, "Sang Yu, are you married?"

Everyone looked at Sang Yu in surprise, as she seemed about their age but was already married.

Sang Yu smiled and nodded.

Xu Ru’an said, "Sang Yu’s husband is Brother Jiang from next door, you know him, the impressive Captain Jiang in the police station."

"Captain Jiang?!"

Xu Ru’an nodded while eating, "Yes."

"No wonder, Sang Yu and Captain Jiang seem like a perfect match."

"A match made in heaven."

"No wonder I saw Captain Jiang at the welfare institute’s performance that day, I was curious why he was there."

A girl suddenly spoke up.

Everyone looked at her curiously, "Captain Jiang was there that day?"

The girl said, "Yes, I saw him in the corner. I just glanced at him and found it strange, but it was our turn, so I forgot to mention it to you."

Sang Yu was also surprised that Jiang Jingming had gone there.

Why didn’t he tell her?

As they talked, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Alright, we’re here. Let’s get off the car."

Everyone slowly got off.

Since the mountain chosen today wasn’t very high, they only brought some supplies and water.

"What a coincidence, are you all here to climb too?"

[Yes, the previous Chapter was sent to the censor’s room, please wait a moment.

By the way: Is everyone washing their hair tomorrow?]
