Story of Meng QiQi - Chapter 11: So It Was Like That

Translation by fingers_and_paws

After dinner, BaiLuoYin said to YangMeng, "Why don't you stay here for the night, don't go back tonight?"

YangMeng remembered that short text and replied hurriedly, "No need, I better go back. Who knows, I may just confront him under the influence of the alcohol."

"Take note of your tone when speaking; don't hurt his feelings over this matter. Maybe he just cares and likes you, and hence he treated you so well. Let's not always assume the worst."

"Hope so!"

The car stopped at the entrance of YouQi's neighborhood. It was eight plus and the restaurants' businesses were just thriving. YangMeng saw YouQi's car parked at the entrance of the restaurant. He was surprised; why had YouQi gone to such a place to eat?

"Big handsome You, it wasn't easy for us to manage to treat you to a meal and you had chosen such a small restaurant, it's making both of us feel bad."

YouQi's slightly tipsy eyes glanced towards the opposite, the corner of his lips lifted with a veiled smile.

"The two of you have helped me. I should be the one treating you. However you insisted on being this polite and it would seem that I am putting on airs if I keep rejecting you. A good restaurant doesn't depend on its class but its features; the Tian Jin dishes here are not bad, I eat here often.

The man opposite smiled cheerfully, "How have the little Policeman been at your side?"

At the mention of YangMeng, a rare tenderness appeared in YouQi's eyes.

"Him! Always being silly and muddled, he's doing fine."

The woman also added, "There are no more words to describe how well you treat your brothers! If I were him, knowing that you had gone through great pains to let him live more comfortably, I would be moved till I become a crying mess."

YouQi's fingers that were tapping the table stopped abruptly, his gaze on the two had also changed.

"You absolutely cannot let him know."

The woman still talked back, "Actually I feel that it's nothing, he may be moved if he knew!"

"I'll still repeat the same sentence; you two just take it that the thing never happened. If there's nothing urgent in the future, let's not meet."

The man side-eyed his wife, "You old ladies only know about being moved. He's a man with a pride; would he have the same thought as you?"

The woman glared angrily, "Who are you calling old lady?"

"Fine fine fine, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go out to take a call first."

......

YangMeng came out of the car and had just wanted to give YouQi a call when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walked out of the restaurant. Never in this lifetime would YangMeng forget this rascal who colluded with his wife to toss him out of the Police station, and he dare not go home ever since. You bastard, actually letting me meet you again!

The man ended his call, turned his head and went back through the door.

YangMeng followed him in as well.

The man bypassed the hall and headed straight to the private room. YangMeng followed behind quietly. Suddenly, the man stopped in front of a door and it just so happen that You

Qi walked out of the door at this moment. YangMeng had just wanted to call YouQi when the man spoke first; moreover he was speaking to YouQi.

"Where are you going?"

YouQi replied plainly, "Washroom."

The man was rather embarrassed, "This lousy restaurant, it doesn't even have an individual washroom inside the private room."

Seeing YouQi walking towards his direction, YangMeng quickly walked towards the dark staircase and stepped up two steps. When YouQi came out from the washroom and walked towards the private room again, the man was still standing at the door waiting for YouQi. The two entered the room, talking and laughing. YangMeng's head exploded with a bang, his b rains splashed all over the floor.

He understood everything in an instant. YangMeng stormed towards the private room and kicked open the door. The man was just pouring wine for YouQi and the woman was smiling widely. The atmosphere inside was really warm and friendly. YouQi froze the moment he saw YangMeng.

"You...... Why have you come here?"

YangMeng took a stool and smashed it onto YouQi's body.

"YouQi, you fucking bastard!" I, YangMeng, am not so poor and pathetic that I need you to put in so much effort to give me material assistance. Do you know how much painstaking efforts my father had took to get me the job at the Police station? It was spoiled just by the one show that you had organized! I have to beat you to death today, FUCK!"

This was the first time the two people at the side had seen YouQi being such a coward. They had interacted a few times with YouQi before and had followed some of his news normally.

In their memory, YouQi's temper was quite bad, swearing at the reporters frequently. How did he become caught by such person that was like a weak little chicken? After suffering so many blows, he wasn't a little bit angry at all and still smiled along with it.

"Fine, hit me as you please, continue to work for me after you've finished hitting."

The woman beside couldn't stand the sight any longer, while stopping YangMeng she grumbled, "Seriously? Wasn't him doing it for your own good? How much can you earn in that Police station? Look at you now that you've followed him, you get to drive a car and wear branded clothes. Everything was given to you by others yet you are still displeased!"

"The two of you get lost first!" YouQi yelled angrily.

The man pulled the woman and left the private room hurriedly.

YangMeng panted heavily. He tore his clothes off one by one and flung them onto YouQi's body. Gnashing his teeth, he said, "Return you; return everything to you. I won't drive the car outside anymore; you're on your own now!"

After saying, he ran out of the restaurant shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts.

The night in Beijing during November was already cold and windy. YangMeng was hailing taxis wearing only a pair of shorts. One after another, taxis drove past him but none were willing to pick him up. In the end a kind-hearted man invited him onto his motorized tricycle.

Once the motorized tricycle started, air leaked everywhere inside. YangMeng used his hands to touch and realized that the cabin was pieced together by transparent tape. The hazy lights outside could be faintly seen. YangMeng was filled with sorrow; how did he suddenly get reduced from a gold-collar worker that drives branded cars and wears branded clothes, to a state without a shirt on his back and riding a motorized tricycle without a proper cabin?

The old man in front spoke.

"Little lad, you've been caught?"

YangMeng was shivering, even the joints in his bones hurt. Hearing the man's words, his head became hot in an instant. He lowered his head to look at his own appearance and looked outside at the people wrapped in thick coats walking by hurriedly, two miserable tears slipped from his eyes.

"Be more careful next time."

"......"

"Where are you going, little lad?"

YangMeng sniffled, his head spinning slowly. It seemed that other than seeking shelter from BaiLuoYin, he had no other options. Who had allowed him be the most blessed one? My heart would feel so unbalanced if I don't go and create some trouble!
