Chapter 827: Chapter 808: That Night, Hearing Their True Feelings! (2)
Playing cards, chatting, and occasionally sipping on some alcohol, tonight felt exceptionally pleasant.
Later, after having a bit too much to drink, Yan Siyuan decided not to return to school.
The lodging house auntie got them an extra quilt and cover, and they just made a floor bed, with the two boys planning to sleep on the floor overnight.
They initially thought of opening another room, but single rooms in a hostel like this were basically all booked in advance, and there were none available today.
Therefore, the four of them had to sleep in one room.
The big bed was naturally the two girls’ exclusive, and the two boys set up the floor bed, each having drank a few bottles, lay down with a slight tipsiness, feeling a bit airy but still very relaxed.
"Turning off the lights now."
Ye Qingcao greeted everyone and then turned off the bedside lamp casually.
In that moment, the room went dark, shrouded in pitch blackness.
Yet, the atmosphere was still lively. Because they were chatting...
Young people who haven’t met for a long time are always like this, the world after the lights go out doesn’t mean it’s time to sleep, rather it is when they can talk to their heart’s content.
The two boys, slightly drunk, were riding the wave of their drunkenness, talking about their career ambitions.
Huo Feng said he wants to save money to buy a house for Pu Sangzhi, at least 2 million, because he wants to pay in full.
Yan Siyuan said he also wants to save to marry his girlfriend. Although his family has money and he himself has money, he is used to being frugal.
Without enough money to feel secure, Yan Siyuan starts to feel anxious...
So, after getting a girlfriend, Yan Siyuan has a strong urge to make money.
Because whenever he sees anything, he wants to buy it for his girlfriend. He feels like she lacks everything, and he almost can’t support her.
Huo Feng said he’s the same way.
He also feels like he wants to buy everything for Sangzhi, but some things are just too expensive, he can’t bring himself to buy them, so he really wants to make money!
At this moment, a strong sense of ambition and desire for money occupied the minds of the two boys.
And when they said these words, neither Pu Sangzhi nor Ye Qingcao on the bed were asleep.
The two girls quietly listened to the boys talking, the entire room filled with the low, hoarse male voices, each word tugging at the girls’ hearts.
Under the covers, every time Ye Qingcao heard Yan Siyuan say something like ’I need to make money to support my girlfriend,’ she’d get so nervous she’d squeeze Pu Sangzhi’s hand.
Ye Qingcao dared not speak at this moment, afraid of interrupting the atmosphere of the boys’ drunken confessions.
But she really wanted to speak, especially wanting to say: She’s so happy! She never thought her boyfriend would say such things!
As Pu Sangzhi listened to Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan’s conversation, a warm feeling arose in her heart. In the dark space, a smile quietly spread across her face, making her feel fortunate and happy.
"What should we do... money is so hard to earn and so easy to spend..." Huo Feng sighed.
"What else can we do, even if it’s hard to earn, we have to earn it, otherwise, how could we marry?" Yan Siyuan also sighed.
At this point, after having a wave of drinks, the two expressing the same sentiments were lying quite informally on the floor.
Huo Feng’s leg was over Yan Siyuan’s stomach, lying crooked.
Yan Siyuan’s hand was resting on his forehead, and in the dark, only he knew his expression was grave and serious.
"Mad dog." Yan Siyuan called to Huo Feng.
"What?"
"Let’s go again tomorrow," Yan Siyuan said.
"Going again? We’ve already lost face, and you don’t even speak; it’s just me talking there."
Huo Feng complained, "I feel so embarrassed."
"What else is there to do?"
Yan Siyuan said, "Haven’t we already divided our tasks? I handle the preliminary work and post-maintenance, you handle the promotion and development. This is already quite fair to you, I took care of the initial point-of-sale spots in each store, and I still have to manage post-maintenance, wouldn’t you want us to switch?"
"Can’t switch."
Huo Feng said, "I’m not in Hangzhou, how could I handle post-maintenance. If there’s any issue, it’s definitely up to you, a local, to go."
Yan Siyuan: "That’s why there are only the two of us managing this start-up, and we’re handling two things each perfectly. Continue on tomorrow, without making money now, I feel too anxious."
"You feel anxious, I feel anxious too."
Huo Feng couldn’t help sighing, "Last time, I took my girlfriend’s roommate shopping for her birthday. It cost over ten thousand, spent all the red envelope money given by my grandpa and grandpa-in-law. It felt incredibly good! Thinking about it now, I have no regrets about that. Just that next time, I won’t have money to spend like that, makes me feel really anxious."
"Pretty much feels the same for me."
Yan Siyuan also sighed deeply, "Basically, I see something nice and immediately want to buy it for my girlfriend. I have saved a lot of money over the years, but lately, the expenses are getting so big. If I don’t make some more money now, I could eat through my savings pretty soon."
"Oh... you have a savings account, I don’t even have anything like that..."
Huo Feng gave Yan Siyuan’s hand a pat, saying: "Share a bit with me."
"No."
Of course, what came was Yan Siyuan’s uncompromising refusal, "Anyway, continue tomorrow, think thoroughly about the promotion. With your personal charm, I believe you can do it..."
"Sigh..." Huo Feng sighed heavily.
They kept chatting like this, speaking beautifully word after word, and listening filled Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao’s hearts with gratitude.
Who knows whether they’re drunken ramblings or genuine thoughts.
Whatever the case, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao liked to hear such sweet words.
Later, as they talked and chatted, their voices grew smaller, and who knows how long it was before they stopped making any sounds, seeming to fall asleep.
Then, Ye Qingcao, who was still alert, took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and deliberately poked her head off the bed to check on their floor beds.
Only to find they were already asleep...
Ye Qingcao secretly snapped a picture of their sleeping poses, then put down the phone, quietly turning to say to Pu Sangzhi: "They’ve fallen asleep."
"Hmm."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "After drinking so much, they should’ve slept a while ago."
"Sangzhi, I’m really happy!"
Ye Qingcao tried hard to suppress her everlasting excitement, grabbing Pu Sangzhi’s little hand, squeezing it tightly, "I didn’t expect to hear such things tonight. He’s never said anything like this before...though it makes sense, he often buys me things; I used to think he was frugal, but after dating, I find him very generous. Turns out he isn’t naturally generous, just generous with me."
"Yes, it seems like your boyfriend really cares for you."
Pu Sangzhi also admitted this point, indeed, just now, Yan Siyuan had made her a bit moved.
"And Feng is great too."
Ye Qingcao spoke in a low voice, using air to say, "He actually spent over ten thousand on you, what did he buy?"
To this, Pu Sangzhi felt helpless, "Just some cosmetics and skincare products. He’d buy whatever seemed good, while having the sales clerk pull me to try them out, sneaking off to pay the bill, I’m honestly helpless with him."
"Oh that’s wonderful~"
Ye Qingcao was genuinely happy for Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, I think we’re so blessed. Both of us found great guys!"
"Yeah."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "If only we could stay happy like this forever."
"We will."
Ye Qingcao was full of hope for the future, eagerly anticipating it, "Hey Sangzhi, how about we have our weddings together in the future? Our two couples! How about it?"
Pu Sangzhi nodded again.
But after thinking for a moment, she found it unsuitable, "I think Huo Feng and I will be sooner."
Ye Qingcao was startled, "Ah?"
Pu Sangzhi then said, "Since college, he’s been pushing for an early marriage, and now his idea is very strong. He said as soon as we reach the legal age, we’d get married. Or he’d first get the certificate on his birthday, marry during that winter vacation."
"That’s too early!"
Ye Qingcao couldn’t believe it, "Why is Feng so eager? There’s no need for that! Is he afraid of you breaking up with him?"
Pu Sangzhi laughed, "How could I break up?"
"Yeah..."
So Ye Qingcao couldn’t understand, "What’s he worried about? There’s no need to rush! Is someone making him insecure?"
"Who knows?"
Pu Sangzhi said, "His mind doesn’t think like ours."
Ye Qingcao nodded thoughtfully, "Oh~ so that’s why... But Feng really doesn’t have to be in such a hurry right? Even after college is fine!"
Pu Sangzhi said, "Who knows. What’s in his head isn’t the same as in ours."
