Chapter 754: Chapter 754: How to find it, wait for it to fall from the sky?
The next day, Lin Gantang got up late. After getting ready, she went downstairs and was surprised to find Shi Jun there.
“Shi Jun is here, are you off today?” Lin Gantang sat next to Wen Yanqing and picked up a pomegranate from the coffee table to take a bite.
“Yes, I’m resting for two days. I’m meeting up with Tang Shuming and others to have fun at Mount Qinghe, so I stopped by to check on Yanqing on the way,” Shi Jun said with a smile.
Wen Yanqing said to Lin Gantang, “Tangtang, are you hungry? Aunt Zhong made soup dumplings. Go try some.”
“Alright, have you guys eaten?” Lin Gantang asked.
Wen Yanqing said softly, “We’ve already eaten, give me the pomegranate, and you go have breakfast first.”
Lin Gantang looked at the pomegranate she had bitten a few times and handed him a new one instead.
Wen Yanqing felt the weight in his palm, touched it, and said, “I want the one you had.”
“?” What’s the difference? Lin Gantang wondered but handed over the one she had eaten.
Lin Gantang got up and went to the dining room. Shi Jun glanced at her leaving figure and then turned his attention to his friend, “You seem to be in much better spirits.”
“My body has improved a bit, so naturally, my spirits are better than before,” Wen Yanqing said as he began eating the fruit in his hand.
“The environment here is indeed quite suitable for recuperation, with none of those bothersome issues to fret over.”
Wen Yanqing nodded in agreement. Indeed, since having moved here, he hadn’t come across annoying things like Gu Zhichuan even once, which was very comfortable.
Shi Jun sighed in relief and leaned back on the sofa, “Seeing that you’re doing well, I can rest easy. When I left last time, I was worried you two might have had a falling out, and I didn’t dare call to ask. It turned out, you went to get the marriage certificate just a few days later.”
Wen Yanqing smiled, “I have nothing to worry about. You worry about yourself. You talked about finding a girlfriend, yet there’s still no sight of one.”
Shi Jun grunted at the mention of finding a partner. “I feel like the matchmaker has forgotten to tie my red string. Look at me, I’m not worse than Tang Shuming, right? That kid changes girlfriends every week, while I’ve had no luck with women recently.”
“Do you need help with introductions?” Wen Yanqing teased.
Shi Jun glanced at him sideways, “Do you even know any women? It’s not someone from your company, is it?”
Wen Yanqing smiled with a curve in his lips, “I don’t know any, but Tangtang does. She has many friends.”
“Her friends are basically from our circle, right? I don’t want to find someone from the circle anymore. I want something simpler,” Shi Jun said. “It doesn’t matter about the family background; as long as we feel right together, that’s enough for me.”
“As long as it feels right? Sounds simple, but your criteria are actually the most difficult,” Wen Yanqing said, shaking his head helplessly. “You’re busier than me now. How are you going to find someone? Wait for her to fall from the sky?”
After finishing her breakfast, Lin Gantang heard Shi Jun’s hearty laughter from the living room. She wiped her hands and came over, curious about what they had discussed that was so delightful.
Just then, Yin Zhen messaged her to ask if she was free, saying they arrived at the manor early in the morning. Jiang Chenying heard that she would be coming and had specially prepared lunch, wanting to have it together with her.
Lunch… Lin Gantang let out a belch and looked at the time; it was only ten-thirty.
“Yanqing, are you coming with me to Yin Zhen’s place? Auntie Ying is also staying at their manor,” Lin Gantang asked as she approached.
“I won’t go; I’d like to chat with Shi Jun,” Wen Yanqing replied with a light smile.
Hearing this, Shi Jun gave Wen Yanqing a look.
After Lin Gantang left, Shi Jun finally asked, “Why aren’t you going together? You used to accompany her wherever she went.”
“Given my current situation… it’s not very convenient. Whether it’s sipping tea, eating a meal, or even taking each step, she has to take care of me,” Wen Yanqing said, looking down. “Let’s give her some time for herself. When it’s more convenient, I’ll join her to visit Mrs. Yin.”
