Chapter 12 It's You

Her room is very big.

There is even a special cloakroom, which is full of things, most of which are clothes bought by Jiang Meilin for her, and there are many bags worth more than five figures.

But Chen Qingqing has never used most of the bags. After buying them, they are just placed in the cabinet as decoration.

Chen Qingqing's family conditions are very good.

Dad Chen Hansong is the president of a local joint-stock bank, with an annual salary starting at seven figures.

Mom Jiang Meilin's annual salary is higher than Chen Hansong.

Both of them are workaholics, which has become the main reason for their divorce.

Chen Qingqing is a girl who doesn't talk much. She has been like this since she was a child. After Chen Hansong and Jiang Meilin divorced, she talked even less. She often stayed at home alone and didn't like to go out. Therefore, she had no friends, not even one.

However, Chen Qingqing has long been accustomed to living alone.

She lay on the soft big bed, listening to music and falling asleep. The lights in the room were not turned off all night. She never turned off the lights when she went to sleep. She felt that the lights would be safe.

Wake up.

She was the only one left in the huge villa.

There was a fried steak and a glass of milk on the dining table on the first floor, and a sticky note next to it:

"Sorry Qingqing, mom is going on a business trip. I have sent a message to Ruxue. She will come over later. You can tell her if you have any requests."

Wang Ruxue is the life assistant arranged by Jiang Meilin for Chen Qingqing. She is also one of the few people who can come to the house besides Jiang Meilin and Chen Qingqing.

Jiang Meilin usually says hello to Wang Ruxue when she is going on a business trip.

After reading the content above, Chen Qingqing crumpled the sticky note into a ball and threw it into the trash can next to her. She sat at the dining table and ate breakfast in small bites.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Ruxue came home and saw Chen Qingqing sitting on the sofa practicing with a guitar. Wang Ruxue did not disturb her, but went to the kitchen and tidied it up.

"Qingqing, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Anything is fine."

Wang Ruxue is no longer surprised. Every time she asks Chen Qingqing about this, her answer is always "whatever" and "anything is fine".

Time at home always passes quickly.

The sun sets.

It seems that another day has passed in a daze.

Chen Qingqing stared at the fiery clouds in the west for a long time on the second floor, until the sun completely set, Chen Qingqing came down from upstairs.

At the dinner table, Wang Ruxue took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Chen Qingqing: "Qingqing, this is what your mother asked me to give you. There is a sum of money in it. You can buy whatever you want on your birthday."

Chen Qingqing didn't even look at the bank card, but just ate silently. After a long silence, Chen Qingqing suddenly said: "Auntie Wang, I want to go out tonight."

"Where do you want to go?"

"By the lake."

Wang Ruxue suddenly thought of what happened last night.

When Chen Qingqing was practicing guitar by the lake yesterday, Wang Ruxue had been waiting in the car. Xu Ye's appearance made her want to go down and call Chen Qingqing several times, but she held back in the end.

However, she was the one who honked the horn in the end.

"Okay~" Wang Ruxue didn't ask much, but felt a little surprised.

...

Half an hour later.

An Alpha commercial vehicle drove smoothly on the national highway.

After stopping by the roadside, Chen Qingqing got off the car and went to the lakeside. She sat quietly on the stone chair where she had sat last night and listened to the song.

Many people passed by, but they all lived nearby and came here for a walk.

For a long time.

Chen Qingqing took off her headphones, got up and walked along the steps to the roadside. After the car door opened, she sat in the car.

Wang Ruxue turned her head and asked, "Are you going back?"

Chen Qingqing hesitated for a while, shook her head and asked, "Auntie Wang, is the beer good?"

"Beer?"

"Yeah."

"Why do you ask this?"

"I want to taste what beer tastes like."

"But..."

Chen Qingqing said, "If you want to ask my mother, you can call her now."

Wang Ruxue didn't call in the end. She felt that Chen Qingqing was already an adult and should be able to make decisions on some things now.

"I know a pub. There are not many people there, and I know their proprietress."

"Then go."

...

Meet the Music Pub

"Boss, Guo Hai is late again."

"He just sent me a message saying he has something to do tonight and can't come."

Zhang Xiaonuan pouted and said, "He's late every other day, and I don't know how many days he takes off in a month. Why is he like this?"

Pei Youwei reached out and rubbed Zhang Xiaonuan's head, and smiled, "It's okay, if you don't want to come, then don't come. We have a little singing god in our store."

As soon as Pei Youwei finished speaking, Zhang Xiaonuan and Zhou Ying both set their eyes on Xu Ye.

Xu Ye folded his hands on his chest and pretended to be scared: "Don't look at me like that, I'm still a child."

"Hahahaha."

Although Xu Ye is only 18 years old in the eyes of outsiders, he has ten years of experience, so there is no generation gap between him and Zhang Xiaonuan, Zhou Ying, or the older Pei Youwei. After only working in the store for two nights, he can already get along with them.

"Xiao Xu, I'm counting on you tonight."

Xu Ye shrugged: "I have no problem, but without the guitar, I feel like something is missing."

"I'll find the accompaniment for you in the mobile app, and you just sing along with the accompaniment in the speakers."

"That's fine."

Xu Ye agreed, thinking about the songs he would sing tonight.

Just at this time.

"Youwei, long time no see."

At the door, Wang Ruxue walked in and greeted Pei Youwei directly.

Pei Youwei saw Wang Ruxue coming and laughed: "Ruxue, it's really you, you haven't been here for a long time."

"I can't help it, I'm busy with work."

"Have a seat, have a seat."

Xu Ye heard the conversation between the two and turned his head to look behind him. When he was about to look away, another person walked in from outside.

Xu Ye was startled, rubbed his eyes, and then exclaimed: "It's you!"

Chen Qingqing was also very surprised, but her expression was not as exaggerated as Xu Ye's. She didn't expect to see Xu Ye here.

Her frozen heart suddenly palpitated.

Pei Youwei heard the voice and looked at Chen Qingqing. She asked meaningfully, "Xiao Xu, do you know each other?"

"Uh~"

Xu Ye scratched his head and said, "How should I put it? I know you, but I don't. We just met for the first time last night."

"Then you two are really destined to meet."

Pei Youwei waved to Chen Qingqing to sit down in the store. Wang Ruxue didn't actually see Xu Ye's appearance last night. It was only after hearing what Xu Ye said that she realized that Xu Ye was the boy by the lake last night.

They met here again by chance.

Wang Ruxue thought it was a bit too coincidental.

"Youwei, can you give me a bottle of beer?"

"Iced?"

"Room temperature is fine."

Pei Youwei gave Xu Ye a look, and Xu Ye cleverly went to get a bottle of beer and two cups.

Xu Ye put the beer on the table and asked casually, "Didn't you bring your guitar today?"

Chen Qingqing raised her head and nodded.

"Nothing, I'm just asking."

Xu Ye smiled and said to Pei Youwei: "Boss lady, I'll go sing then. There will be red envelopes tonight, right?"

"Don't worry, yours won't be left out."
