Under the moonlight

"Oh, by the way, have you added them on WeChat yet?" Chen Zhi glanced at Huang Meng and asked.

"Oh, right, I also wanted to ask you, did you give them my WeChat?" Huang Meng asked Zhao Meng. Chen Zhi had only added her on WeChat last night, so it could only be Zhao Meng.

Chen Zhi glanced at Zhao Meng, thinking to himself that he had just been complaining about his random idea of ​​organizing the gathering, but it turned out that Zhao Meng had already given Huang Meng's WeChat to them.

"Yes, it was that day. Chen Yilin and I were chatting, and she mentioned you. I told her that you're with me now, and she asked for your WeChat." Zhao Meng coughed slightly, feeling a little guilty, and quickly lowered his head to pick up some food.

That day, he actually took the initiative to contact Chen Yilin. He wanted to ask her if she had mentioned him in her correspondence with Huang Meng after Huang Meng returned to her hometown, but he felt that it would be a bit abrupt, so he didn't ask.

However, Huang Meng didn't notice his earlier words about being with him. Instead, she turned to Chen Zhi and asked, "By the way, didn't you go to university in X City? You should be more familiar with X City. What's X City like now?" Huang Meng blinked at him.

"The changes are huge! Do you remember that muddy road that was never repaired when we were in school? Now it's wide and spacious, and a shopping mall has opened next to it. It's very lively." Chen Zhi became interested when Huang Meng asked him a question and began to introduce it to her in a great manner.

"Mmm, really?" Huang Meng listened while eating, but since her mouth was occupied, she could only nod repeatedly, listening very attentively.

As Zhao Meng discreetly served her food, he quietly watched her, a slight smile unconsciously playing on his lips. Looking at her profile, Zhao Meng had a momentary daze, thinking that she was his. But then, thinking of the man beside her, Zhao Meng's smile gradually faded, replaced by coldness.

He didn't know how far things had progressed between her and that person; even by the order of arrival, he was first. So, for him, if he wanted, he could use every trick in the book to gradually win back her feelings for him. Zhao Meng was certain that she liked him, but when he looked up at her brightly smiling profile, he ultimately couldn't bear to use his cunning on her.

But he wouldn't give up easily unless she pushed him away herself.

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Zhao Meng got up to pay the bill. When he came back, Huang Meng looked at him with a happy expression, "Hey, didn't Chen Zhi say you were going to X City next weekend? Why don't we go together!"

After Zhao Meng sat down, he glanced at Chen Zhi, who was secretly pleased with himself, and kept winking at him. Then he looked at Huang Meng, who was full of expectation. He wondered what this guy had said to Huang Meng, and how he had managed to fool her in such a short time.

"Hmm, what makes you want to go there?" Zhao Meng gave Chen Zhi a deep look, planning to settle accounts with him later, then turned to Huang Meng and asked gently.

"Chen Zhi talked a lot about the changes in X City, and it really made me a little itchy to go. Hehe, he also said that Qiqi is going too!" Chen Zhi suddenly looked at Zhao Meng, and sure enough, he was staring at him, almost gritting his teeth as he said, "How come I didn't know that Qiqi was going?"

"Ah, well, haha, she just sent me a message saying that," Chen Zhi quickly explained.

"Then how did she know you were going? You guys..." Zhao Meng squinted, observing Chen Zhi's expression.

He did find out about his own sister. Ever since Chen Zhi helped her and took a beating for her, she had been praising him to the skies in front of him. He could tell that a 23-year-old girl wouldn't just talk about a man out of kindness and gratitude. He knew that, but after all, she was his own sister. Whether Chen Zhi was worth it or not was up to him to decide.

"Ah, well, it was mentioned during a casual chat, haha. By the way, I'm going to the restroom." Chen Zhi couldn't withstand Zhao Meng's glare any longer and quickly made an excuse to leave.

Zhao Meng watched him flee in disarray, chuckled, then leaned back in his chair, stretching out his long legs with amusement in his eyes. Huang Meng, watching him like this, was instantly transported back to the time when they were deskmates. Back then, he sat in the innermost seat against the wall, clearly feeling somewhat stifled. So, whenever he had the chance, he would face Huang Meng, leaning against the wall with his back to her. And back then, he was just like now, lazily leaning against the wall, his arms casually draped over the edge of the table, his long legs stretched out boldly over Huang Meng's chair.

Once, a mischievous boy in the class used a large water buffalo that he had caught somewhere to scare the other students. She had just stood up when she was startled by the insect he suddenly held up in front of her. She stumbled backward and fell right into his arms.
