Chapter 1103: Encounters in Life

For a long time, Wang Xiaoyan always showed her strong and overbearing side in front of Yang Ming. Perhaps, at this moment, she was being honest… She was also a normal girl. She had pursuits for love. It was just for some unbeknownst reasons she shouldered too many burdens from the family.

Although Yang Ming did not ask, he could roughly guess it. It was nothing more than a forced marriage. Before Yang Ming got in touch with so many rich and strong families, Yang Ming thought that family honors and family interests were mere nonsense in the novels. However, after Yang Ming got into contact, he finally learned how terrible it was.

From the moment of contact with Zhou Jiajia’s mother, President Hua, Yang Ming also understood that some of the so-called rich and powerful families did not care about human feelings.

Yang Ming was not sure why Wang Xiaoyan was obsessed with making her assassin group bigger and becoming the world’s number one. However, after thinking about it, it should be some kind of agreement between her and her family. Hence, no matter what Yang Ming did for his own good or for Wang Xiaoyan’s sake, he would work hard to help Wang Xiaoyan to realize this dream.

Moreover, Yang Ming could help her realize her dreams. With Fang Tian’s network, Yang Ming did not need to be worried that he could not get any missions. Hence, Yang Ming believed that as long as he was hardworking, then Wang Xiaoyan’s dream was just around the corner.

However, then again, even if this dream were not realized, Yang Ming would not let Wang Xiaoyan marry someone else. Yang Ming would definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen.

As they went upstairs to the bedroom, Wang Xiaoyan, who was mumbling, had already closed her eyes. There was still a smile on her lips, and she fell asleep.

Yang Ming shook his head helplessly. He placed Wang Xiaoyan gently on the bed. He carefully took off her vest and pants since Wang Xiaoyan had the habit of sleeping naked. Yang Ming was naturally clear about it. People who are used to sleeping naked will be very uncomfortable the next day if they sleep in their clothes.

Looking at Wang Xiaoyan’s seductive body, Yang Ming strongly suppressed the impulse in his heart. After all, although Yang Ming pushed down Wang Xiaoyan due to their gamble at first, and even some hint of revenge was in it, Yang Ming had fallen in love with this girl after a long period of contact. Of course, Yang Ming couldn’t bear to disturb her rest.

After Yang Ming settled Wang Xiaoyan down, he took off his clothes and lay down by Wang Xiaoyan’s side. He turned off the desk lamp on the bedside table and closed his eyes.

Although Yang Ming did not use his special ability to probe his surroundings, he was still sharp enough to notice the tiny movements next to him. Yang Ming opened his eyes but found that Wang Xiaoyan was in front of him. There was a pair of watery eyes looking at him in a daze.

“Are you not asleep?” Yang Ming asked baffled.

“Why aren’t you making a move on me?” Wang Xiaoyan did not answer Yang Ming’s question, but instead, she asked with her face filled with seduction.

Yang Ming broke into a sweat. What is this play? He smiled bitterly, “I saw you fall asleep. I was afraid to wake you up. Well, since you are so willing to let me have my fun, then I will make you enjoy it to your death!”

Yang Ming was impatient with Wang Xiaoyan’s words. He turned her over and pressed Wang Xiaoyan under him.

“Come on!” Wang Xiaoyan was lying on the bed obediently, saying, “Do what you like…”

In fact, Wang Xiaoyan was never asleep. She just drank alcohol and became blurry. No matter what, she was also a person who had been strictly trained by the assassins. How could she fall asleep so easily?

Wang Xiaoyan was embarrassed with the weird words she said uncontrollably, so she acted like she nodded off as an attempt to eliminate the embarrassment in her heart. However, she did not expect that Yang Ming thought she was asleep after returning to the bedroom. After Yang Ming took off her clothes for her, there was no more action.

Wang Xiaoyan felt puzzled, but she was touched. It turns out that he cares about me. In his eyes, I am not just an assassin partner or a sexual partner…

It could be from the alcohol, the atmosphere, or something else that made the two soon satisfied and fall asleep…

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaoyan resumed being the previous Wang Xiaoyan. The seduction and charm on her face no longer existed. Although she was occasionally intimate with Yang Ming, it was not as obvious as yesterday. It was no different from the past.

Yang Ming sighed a little and knew that Wang Xiaoyan couldn’t always be completely open like she was drunk. After all, the pressure she was carrying was too heavy.

For a girl not to be able to enjoy life, but to work in an assassin group, it was inexplicable perhaps in the eyes of many people. However, in the eyes of Wang Xiaoyan, it was imperative.

Today was Yang Ming’s birthday. On the same day last year, Yang Ming’s birthday was not so grand. At that time, he was still in high school. In the morning, he skipped classes and was caught by Chen Mengyan…

As he thought of this, Yang Ming felt a little sweet in his heart. His thoughts seemed to have returned to what he was a year ago…

“Yang Ming! What are you doing?”

That morning, Yang Ming came to the classroom and strolled around. He threw his bag in his seat and then turned around to leave the classroom. However, before he could even walk to the door of the classroom, he felt someone grab the corner of his shirt. It was followed by a familiar voice.

Yang Ming was helpless. He did not know what happened to his luck in the past few days. Every time he skipped class, he would be caught red-handed by Chen Mengyan. Yang Ming even thought, Is this little girl secretly in love with me? Or else, why did she put so much attention on me? If she isn’t stalking me, how does she know I want to skip class?

“Great study commissary, are you looking for me?” Yang Ming repeated the action that he did every day; that was to put a smile on his face. He would just sit idle and never fight back.

Chen Mengyan was also pissed off. This Yang Ming is too lacking in consciousness. You just promised me yesterday that you will not skip class anymore, yet you want to sneak out under my eyes today.

“Yang Ming, didn’t you make a promise yesterday?” Chen Mengyan put on a stern face as she yelled and glared at him. “This school had just started only a few days, and you just want to skip classes all day. Do you not want to go to college?”

” Hey ? How do you know that I don’t want to go to college? Are you a roundworm in my stomach ¹ ?” Yang Ming acted as though he was surprised as he dropped his jaws widely, looking at Chen Mengyan.

“Go to hell!” Chen Mengyan rolled her eyes at Yang Ming. “Nonsense. What roundworms? It is so unpleasing to the ear.”

” Oh , fine. Then, I am going…” Yang Ming nodded and went to the classroom door.

However, before he took another step, he was held up again. Without putting much thought, it must be the little girl, Chen Mengyan.

“Yang Ming!” Chen Mengyan said in anger, “What are you going to do?”

“Go to hell ah ? Didn’t you ask me to go?” Yang Ming said innocently.

“How come you are so obedient this time?” Chen Mengyan was a little dumbfounded. What go to hell? How could he go to die? Chen Mengyan was not a fool. He must be taking this excuse to continue skipping classes, so she said, “I told you to study. Why didn’t you go?”

” Ugh …” Yang Ming scratched his head. “I want to study, but I can’t learn. What do you think I should do? So, it’s better not to study. If I disrupt other students, then it is not good…”

“Yang Ming, you don’t put your heart in studying. What can you learn?” Chen Mengyan frowned. Yang Ming said the same set of words every day. I have persuaded him with the same words. However, if he really didn’t care, then how do I convince him? He will not listen to it. Thinking of this, Chen Mengyan sighed with some helplessness.

“Well, let me tell you the truth… Today is my birthday…” Yang Ming sighed. “You see that I have no friends in class. Although everyone is afraid of me, in fact, I also know that they all despise me, so everyone wouldn’t participate even if it’s my birthday. I just wanted to have a quiet birthday… I didn’t want to say it at first. Even if I said that you won’t celebrate my birthday with me. This way I will be too embarrassed… Ai , but since you wanted me to tell you the truth, then I can only say so…”

” Ah ?” Chen Mengyan was stunned. She didn’t expect today to be Yang Ming’s birthday. She remembered that she had seen Yang Ming’s file, recalling that his birthday was really in March, but she couldn’t remember which day it was. Now… After Yang Ming said so, Chen Mengyan was in a dilemma!

If I don’t accompany Yang Ming on his birthday, then I will be despising him. But I have never thought so before. How could she know that Yang Ming actually deliberately said this?

Yang Ming’s grades were not great. Worse still, he was a bully at school. However, he had never shown a furious attitude to his classmates. Even when the classmates in his class were bullied by other classmates, Yang Ming also helped out.

Therefore, despite Yang Ming having his shortcomings, most of the students still thought that Yang Ming was like a faithful brother. It was not exactly disliking him, but at least, they were not hating him.

However, there were a few special exceptions, such as Wang Zhitao and Chen Afu.

However, Chen Mengyan, who was an obedient kid, had never skipped classes. She was not likely to skip class to accompany Yang Ming on his birthday. Even if she were not afraid of other people’s gossip, at least, she would not be able to go past the teacher. As a class commissary, it would be ridiculous for her to skip class.

” Ai , sure enough, you also despise me deep down in your heart…” Yang Ming pretended to be very sad. He went to the door as he spoke…

“I…” Chen Mengyan’s character was very kind. Seeing that Yang Ming was so lost, she felt uncomfortable deep down in her heart and quickly said, “Yang Ming, I am not despising you, but I can’t be skipping class…”

“I understand…” Yang Ming waved his hand and appeared to be heartbroken.

“How about… How about when we are admitted to the university next year, I will help you celebrate your birthday?” Chen Mengyan was anxious, and she said quickly.

“That’s fine… Then, see you next year… I am leaving first…” Yang Ming waved at Chen Mengyan as he left the classroom.

” Ai !” Chen Mengyan sighed. I didn’t expect Yang Ming to have so many thoughts in his mind. He seems to be forthright usually. I really didn’t notice it! Ya, isn’t there something wrong? Chen Mengyan quickly regained her consciousness. This Yang Ming, isn’t he skipping another class?

Thinking of this, Chen Mengyan became angry all of a sudden. She clenched her small fist and waved. I was cheated by him again! I even promised to celebrate his birthday with him. Screw your birthday! In your dreams. Don’t even think about it!

However, Chen Mengyan changed her perspective, If Yang Ming can really enroll in a university, there is no harm in celebrating his birthday with him. I am just afraid he won’t pass the test…

After Yang Ming successfully skipped class, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he had some anticipations in his heart. Initially, he had no wishes on Chen Mengyan. After all, the gap between he and Chen Mengyan was too big. Now that Chen Mengyan had said this, his heart was excited again. If Chen Mengyan can celebrate my birthday with me, it would be a wonderful thing…

However, this thought was only temporary, and it soon disappeared in the blink of an eye. After all, it was tough to get into university.

Zhang Bing was waiting for Yang Ming at the school gate. Remembering this, Yang Ming put aside his unrealistic thoughts, sped up his pace, and walked quickly to the school gate.

Zhang Bing didn’t skip classes often. Although his results were not very good, he stayed in the classroom every day. Therefore, it was easier for Zhang Bing to skip class. He and Yang Ming had separated actions. Zhang Bing first went out of the classroom, but no one paid attention to him. Even if someone noticed him, they would think that he was just going to the toilet. However, Yang Ming was different. He was under Chen Mengyan’s supervision.

“Bro, why are you so slow?!” Zhang Bing saw Yang Ming coming out and waved his hand quickly, “I have been waiting here for more than twenty minutes. Those who don’t know me thought that I’m standing at the school gate on weekly duty…”

“Isn’t it because of Chen Mengyan?” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “I wanted to come out, but I was caught by her. She stopped me. I spent a lot of effort to run out!”

” Ha , bro, in my view, Chen Mengyan is interested in you!” Zhang Bing laughed after listening, “Why doesn’t she care about the others? I left the classroom, yet she didn’t notice it; but when you skip class, she finds out. There is something fishy about it!”

Yang Ming smiled bitterly and said, “She is interested? What nonsense. Isn’t it because I have skipped classes too many times, or else, why would she target me?” Yang Ming certainly was self-aware. He wouldn’t be too stupid to think that Chen Mengyan had a crush on him.

“In any case, you have special treatment!” Zhang Bing said with a smile, “Let’s go. I booked a table at the Ju Yuan Chun Restaurant next to the school. Let’s celebrate.”

“Ju Yuan Chun? No way, such luxury?” Yang Ming’s intended the two of them to just find a place to have barbecue.

“It’s okay. I have money. You don’t have to save money for me.” Zhang Bing waved his hand indifferently. “With our relationship, whoever has money spends more!”

Zhang Bing was familiar with the owner of the Ju Yuan Chun Restaurant. He was a friend of Zhang Bing’s father, Zhang Jiefang. Hence, even with only two people, Zhang Bing and Yang Ming, the boss had given them a private room.

“Bro, I wish you a happy birthday!” Zhang Bing raised his glass and said to Yang Ming, “Come. I will toast first…”

Yang Ming also raised his glass. Zhang Bing was the only brother who had a good relationship with Yang Ming in the class. He might leave Yang Ming in a few months. Yang Ming also knew that even if Zhang Bing couldn’t get into university, Zhang Bing’s father could also spend money to get him into a good school. However, this would not work for Yang Ming. Yang Ming’s father was a blue-collar worker; his mother was a part-time worker in the community. They couldn’t take so much money to fund Yang Ming at university.

“Bro, what’s wrong with you? You seem to be unhappy.” Zhang Bing also noticed that Yang Ming was low-spirited, so he asked quickly.

“Nothing. I was just thinking that, in the blink of an eye, high school life is about to end. Time flies really fast…” Yang Ming sighed.

“Bro, is it that you don’t want to part with Chen Mengyan?” asked Zhang Bing after listening. “How about this, bro? You just confess to her. Anyway, no matter the result, you tried at least. You will not regret it in the future, or else, you could only regret after graduation…”

“Alright, don’t talk nonsense. Confess for what? Aren’t you putting me in a tough spot?” Yang Ming shook his head and said, “Don’t you already know Chen Mengyan’s character? I heard that Wang Zhitao, that dumb*ss, had already confessed, but Chen Mengyan said that she never thought about having a boyfriend during high school, and she directly rejected him!”

“That’s because Chen Mengyan doesn’t like him!” Zhang Bing waved his hand and said with an inscrutable expression, “When it comes to women, you don’t know as much as me. I hooked up with pretty girls online since I was a freshman. Regarding a woman’s mind, I am clearer than you! When they say they are not ready for a relationship, it is just an excuse. They just have not found a suitable one. Once she finds the one, what they said before were all empty words!”

“Really?” Yang Ming really didn’t really understand a girl’s mind. Seeing Zhang Bing say it as though it was legitimate, his heart became excited.

“Of course, it is true!” Zhang Bing nodded. “You see. Chen Mengyan makes you study hard every day. If you really want to chase her, then you have to follow her intention and study hard. Make a change for her. In this way, you definitely have a chance! Bro, I’m not exaggerating. Based on your appearance and ability, you are much better than Wang Zhitao. That guy is just studying better, and his family is richer. Aside from these, nothing else about him is better than you!”

By nature, Yang Ming was not the kind of person who would be touted and become hot-headed. He shook his head as he smiled and said, “Besides… even if I studied, I can’t learn very well. Chen Mengyan is going to a branded university. If we can’t be together at the same university in the future, it will be useless…”

” Ai , that is true!” Zhang Bing also sighed helplessly, saying, “Bro, but in any case, even if we are not together in the future, you will always be my bro!”

” Hehe …” Yang Ming smiled and said, “I’ll believe that…”

……

” Didi …” came behind him, and the car horn urged. Yang Ming came back from his thoughts. He took a look at the signal light; it had already turned green. He shook his head and started the car…

Unexpectedly, one year later, Chen Mengyan really fulfilled her promise to celebrate his birthday with him. Moreover, his brother did not go far and still accompanied him.

His encounters in life were really wonderful. Through the many twists and turns, he actually embarked on a bright path to greatness. He immediately reached the top of the social pyramid, obtained enormous power, and had success in every endeavor.
