Translator: 549690339
Yu Minglang dragged Xiao Qian out of the Small Theater and pulled her all the way to the lakeside. Taking advantage of the moonlit night and the empty area under the trees, he directly embraced her.
Xiao Qian beat him with her hands.
“Yu Minglang! Are you crazy!”
“Xiao Mei, do you miss me?”
“Arc you stupid! What you just did, if I hadn’t reacted quickly, do you know what the consequences would’ve been?!”
“What consequences?” Yu Minglang didn’t care.
He wasn’t impulsive; he had thought it through! It wasn’t his fault he went up, blame those who let Xiao Mei play this role. Didn’t you see Xiao Mei’s disgusted expression?
No one could wrong his Xiao Mei, not even on stage.
“You just go up there and kiss blindly!” Although she never avoids announcing that she has a boyfriend, there’s a difference between that and making out in public.
Yu Minglang had already lost his face, but she wanted to keep hers!
“Kissing blindly?” Yu Minglang was slightly displeased with the description.
Xiao Qian probably felt his gaze was a bit dangerous too.
“No, I was wrong.”
But it was too late. This was a scoundrel who dared to kidnap the heroine of the stage play with a mask on. How could ordinary people comprehend his thick-skinned behavior!
Yu Minglang propped Xiao Qian against the tree, turned his head, and kissed her again. To prove he wasn’t “kissing blindly,” he took it seriously this time.
No matter how angry Xiao Qian was at his previous actions, when she was cuddled and kissed like this, half of her anger subsided. Besides, they haven’t been in contact for a long time. Seeing Yu Minglang in this situation felt like a small happiness from successfully stealing peaches.
She felt like she took advantage…
“How did you come?” Was it an illusion? Xiao Qian felt he looked a bit thinner, was it because his work was too hard?
“I heard you were here as soon as I got off the plane, Xiao Mei… Xiao Mei…” He buried his head in her shoulder and wouldn’t let go.
“When will you go back?”
“I’ll go back before daybreak.”
Well, it’s 9:30 now, Xiao Qian quickly calculated the time.
“Let’s go to the Night Market first, have some late-night snacks, and then watch the night show together?”
With the lesson from the previous fishing trip, Xiao Qian dared not leave the date arrangements to him. He was unconventional, and if he were to decide, he might take her to sit by the campus lake and freeze overnight.
Yu Minglang’s eyes lit up, “Let’s go then.”
“Wait, did you come alone?”
“Plus Second Brother and Qiao Zhen…” Yu Minglang, who valued his lover more than his friends, suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a few more people.
When dragging others to see his daughter-in-law, he thought of them as friends; when it came time to eat and date, he forgot them. Only Yu Minglang could do this.
“Second Brother and Qiao Zhen came too… Well, then, I’ll also call Dong Yi and Shi Yu out, let’s change the place to have dinner and have a get-together.”
Xiao Qian had more face than Yu Minglang and couldn’t do things like monopolizing food.
“Alright… Then you go and call your two little friends, I’ll call Second Brother, and we’ll meet at the entrance in half an hour. Xiao Mei, take this.”
Yu Minglang took out a new white phone from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Qian.
“Where did it come from?” Xiao Qian had been saying she wanted to buy a phone but never had the time.
“A friend bought it for his daughter-in-law, it hasn’t been opened yet. I snatched it over; later, I’ll give him some money to buy another one.”
After he got off the plane, he saw an unopened new phone in the car of the person who picked him up. Thinking that Xiao Mei hadn’t changed her phone yet, he stole it for her.
“… You dare to grab your friend’s things, you really don’t want to live.”
“Haha, how come you & him have the same tone? This phone isn’t that good, you just make do with it. Later, I’ll go to Eldest Brother’s place and get you a better one.”
He even snatched the phone with the SIM card, which only Yu Minglang could do. This had to rely on his years of friendship with others; otherwise, he would’ve been beaten up long ago if he acted like this with others.
For his daughter-in-law, he would have no morals and even quarrel with his friends; Yu Minglang would totally do that.
Xiao Qian returned to the Female Dormitory, but Dong Yi and Shi Touyu hadn’t come back yet.
Shi Touyu had a phone, so Xiao Qian called her first.
“Boss Qian, where are you?” Shi Touyu’s voice came through the phone.
“I’m in the dormitory, I wanted to call you to have dinner together. Where are you?”
“I’m with my brother and another big brother. Boss Qian, do you know? You and your King Chu are famous!”
Yu Minglang’s miraculous appearance in the end and his kidnapping of the heroine had shocked everyone. At the critical moment, Shi Touyu heroically saved the day by guest-starring as the narrator, saying that the female vampire was taken away by a male vampire who had secretly loved her for a long time. The code name for that male vampire was King Chu (Vinegar King). They forcibly created a happy ending!
“Let’s talk about it when we meet. Find Da Yi, bring her along.” Xiao Qian didn’t want to mention Yu Minglang’s brainless actions just now, they acted like it never happened.
Stay calm, even if your heart wants to mmp (internet slang – cursing), your face must be moe moe da (t/n – adorable).
“Da Yi isn’t with you?” Shi Touyu asked in surprise.
“No, I didn’t see her in the dormitory either.”
Dong Yi came to watch Xiao Qian’s performance at night as well, but her seat was relatively far back, so she didn’t meet Yu Mingyi and his friends.
“Did she go to the Library?”
“Impossible, the library’s closing time has passed. If she’s not in the dormitory, where could she go?” Xiao Qian had a vague feeling that things weren’t right.
“Did she go to eat skewers?” Shi Touyu guessed.
“Impossible, Shitou, let’s split up and search. Hurry, let your brother follow Second Brother to look for her. Ask everyone you can in your theater troupe to search as well.”
Xiao Qian knew Dong Yi’s personality; Dong Yi was a very frugal child, who wouldn’t wander around at night. Even if she was hungry, she had flatbread and steamed buns as dry food, so she couldn’t have gone out to eat.
Moreover, Xiao Qian and Shitou were both with her; Dong Yi should’ve waited for her two friends to return to the dormitory together. She wouldn’t have disappeared without saying anything.
Xiao Qian always kept Dong Yi’s past life in her mind and was afraid of trouble.
No matter if it’s an overreaction or not, she needed to find Dong Yi first.
Yu Minglang had been waiting for Xiao Qian at the door for a long time. When he didn’t see Xiao Qian, he got a call from her instead.
“Xiao Qiang, come to the girls’ dormitory, quickly.”
Yu Minglang didn’t delay and immediately went to see the anxious Xiao Qian.
“What’s the situation?”
“Help me analyze where a girl could be at this time. My roommate is missing.”
“When was the last time you saw her?”
“Before I went on stage, around 7:30 at the Small Theater. She wouldn’t go shopping, and she wouldn’t leave school at night.”
Yu Minglang quickly analyzed, “Based on the information you provided, is it possible that she was called away by someone?”
Called away? Xiao Qian thought about it; besides her and Shitou, Dong Yi had a good relationship with Qiuqiu. But Qiuqiu did not stay in the dormitory and would not call Dong Yi out at night, so who could it be—
Suddenly, Xiao Qian had an epiphany.. She remembered!
