A family of five?

When He Mengyao opened the door, Zhou Mengqi was rubbing her eyes as she walked out of the bedroom.

The two met face to face in the middle of the living room.

"Up so early?" Zhou Mengqi asked casually.

"I can't sleep." He Mengyao walked to the sofa and sat down. "The sofa isn't very comfortable to sleep on."

Zhou Mengqi said "Oh," and turned to go into the bathroom.

She closed the door, pouted at herself in the mirror, and thought, "What are you pretending for?"

I went out before I could fall asleep yesterday. Did I really end up sleeping on the sofa?

In other words, he didn't go looking for Yu Heng, otherwise they would have met again in bed.

Zhou Mengqi turned on the tap to wash her face, wondering whether she should tell Shen Yueling about it.

Saying that might sound like I'm stirring up trouble.

Never mind, let's just watch the show.

Shen Yueling pushed open the door, yawned, and glanced into the living room.

He Mengyao was sitting on the sofa closest to the window, scrolling through her phone. When she heard the noise, she raised her eyelids and glanced over, but her gaze quickly slid away and returned to the screen.

Shen Yueling paused in her steps.

"Good morning, Yue Ling." Zhou Mengqi walked over. "Ah Ling isn't up yet?"

"Getting dressed," Shen Yueling said, her gaze drifting towards He Mengyao again.

strangeness.

Why is this woman so quiet this morning?

Shen Yueling walked to the open kitchen area, took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed it, and took a sip.

She leaned against the kitchen counter and asked casually, "How did you all sleep last night?"

"I'm fine," Zhou Mengqi said, sitting on a high stool. "Teacher He said she wasn't very comfortable sleeping on the sofa."

He Mengyao paused her swiping on the screen, without looking up: "Yeah, the sofa's a bit hard."

"Why are you sleeping on the sofa?" Shen Yueling raised an eyebrow.

"I'm a restless sleeper, and I was afraid of disturbing Mengqi," He Mengyao explained.

His voice was flat, revealing no emotion.

Shen Yueling tightened the bottle cap and stared at He Mengyao for two seconds.

This person even avoids eye contact?

Where did that energy go yesterday?

The sound of flushing water came from the bathroom, and then the door opened, and Yu Heng came out with messy hair.

"Are you all up?" Yu Heng rubbed his neck as he walked into the kitchen, took the bottle of water from Shen Yueling, and took two sips.

He Mengyao put down her phone and stood up: "Shall we go have breakfast now?"

"Sure." Yu Heng put the water bottle back on the table, casually placing his hand on Shen Yueling's waist. "Let's go."

He gently pressed his fingers on Shen Yueling's waist, with his usual intimacy.

Shen Yueling didn't dodge, but her attention was still on He Mengyao. She paused for a moment, but there was still no reaction.

He Mengyao straightened up, slung her bag over her shoulder, and turned to walk towards the door: "Let's go then, I'm hungry."

Zhou Mengqi jumped off the bar stool and followed.

Bai Xinran also came out of the room at this time and stood quietly in the hallway waiting.

Yu Heng patted Shen Yueling's waist: "What are you daydreaming about?"

Shen Yueling looked away and shook her head: "It's nothing."

-

The group had breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Yu Heng took a sip of soy milk and put down his cup.

"If you don't have any plans for the morning, let's go to the car market."

Shen Yueling was peeling eggs when she looked up at the question: "Why are you going to the car market?"

"Let's check the cars," Yu Heng explained. "It's more convenient to have a car when going in and out."

Zhou Mengqi blinked: "What kind of car do you want to buy?"

"The budget is around 100,000," Yu Heng narrowed his eyes, "Let's buy a domestic car to make do for now."

Bai Xinran quietly drank her porridge without saying a word.

She doesn't know much about cars, but having one is definitely a good thing, as the university town is too remote.

"What kind of nice car can you buy with 100,000?" She pursed her lips. "It's not even as good as what we had before..."

He Mengyao realized something was wrong and immediately fell silent.

Yu Heng glanced at her: "What else can we do? My guild and Yueji's income have just started to pick up, and we can't touch our working capital."

"Alright," He Mengyao pursed her lips, "Let's go take a look first."

-

Around 9 a.m., the group arrived at the car city.

Several domestic brand 4S stores were next to each other, and they started looking at the first one.

Upon entering the store, a salesperson greeted us; he was a young man.

Yu Heng said he was just browsing, and the salesperson started introducing the products.

He Mengyao walked beside a car and reached out to pull on the door handle: "This is a hidden door handle."

Yu Heng leaned down and looked: "They were in a car accident, and they can't be pulled apart."

Having gone through that experience once, safety is now my top priority when buying a car!

He Mengyao pouted: "This engine can barely go up a hill, let's just forget about it."

Shen Yueling stood to the side, watching Yu Heng and He Mengyao chatter away, unable to get a word in edgewise.

She didn't know anything about cars, Zhou Mengqi didn't know anything about cars either, and Bai Xinran certainly didn't.

Shen Yueling felt a little depressed.

When did Yu Heng learn these things?

He wasn't interested in cars before.

He Mengyao was even more puzzled. How could a dance student know so much about cars?

The salesperson wanted to introduce other models, but Yu Heng waved his hand and said, "No need, let's go look at other stores."

After leaving the store, Zhou Mengqi whispered to Bai Xinran, "I couldn't understand what they were saying."

Bai Xinran nodded gently.

The second store I visited featured a sedan.

He Mengyao got into the driver's seat, adjusted the seat, and got out of the car: "It's enough for family use, but driving this kind of car is no fun."

Yu Heng smiled and said, "You have pretty high standards."

"Of course," He Mengyao glanced at him, "It's not like we're only driving it for a day or two, and besides, we're rich now."

Shen Yueling looked at the two of them, and that strange tacit understanding reappeared.

When they were discussing, no one else could get a word in edgewise.

The third store, to look at an SUV.

The saleswoman was a girl who wore glasses and introduced the product very enthusiastically.

She glanced at Yu Heng, then at the three girls following behind, perhaps wanting to find a topic to talk about and get closer to them, and said with a smile, "This car has a lot of space, so even if our three kids go out to play, it won't feel cramped."

The moment the words left his mouth, the atmosphere froze.

Shen Yue's face was a little cold. Was there something wrong with this girl's eyes, or was there something wrong with her brain?

Does this look like a family of five?

Zhou Mengqi pursed her lips to suppress her laughter, and Bai Xinran also forced a smile and lowered her head.

The saleswoman, unaware of the problem, continued, "And the trunk is big too; it can fit strollers and toys."

He Mengyao raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and looked at Yu Heng.

Yu Heng's face remained expressionless; he simply said, "I don't have children yet."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," the saleswoman quickly apologized, realizing her mistake. "I thought it was..."

"It's nothing," Yu Heng interrupted her, turning to walk towards the back of the car. "Let's check the trunk."

After visiting three or four stores, I returned to the shady spot in the parking lot and stood there.

"I'm not entirely satisfied with any of them." Yu Heng lit a cigarette.

"That's about it for the budget of 100,000," Shen Yueling said.

He Mengyao crossed her arms and said, "If you ask me, since we're only buying once, we might as well buy something more expensive. If we buy a car for 100,000 yuan now, we'll have to change it again after two years."

"You make it sound so easy," Yu Heng exhaled a puff of smoke. "I already said that the guild and Yueji's income has increased, but it's only just begun. We need to keep working capital. I can't touch the hundreds of thousands I have on hand. The budget is insufficient."

He Mengyao looked at him and said, "You're not enough, but I am."

Yu Heng squinted at her.

He Mengyao walked up to him and said, "Come on, let's go check out BMW."

Zhou Mengqi's eyes widened, and Bai Xinran also looked up.

Shen Yueling pursed her lips. Is He Mengyao really that rich?

Do you even need to pay for Yu Heng to buy a car?
