Chapter 555 - 555 553 Picking Up Xia Qianqian

555: Chapter 553: Picking Up Xia Qianqian 555: Chapter 553: Picking Up Xia Qianqian Chen Yang sat on the bed, watching Yang Caiyun’s back as she dressed up and reflected on what had just happened, feeling a surge of secret delight in his heart.

“Sis, you’re really getting more and more beautiful, utterly enchanting,” Chen Yang said with a smile as he praised her.

Yang Caiyun’s cheeks flushed red, and through the mirror, she shot Chen Yang a look, “Pretty at this time?

Are you thinking of going for another round?”

Pfft.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh out loud at her words.

He also stood up from the bed and moved behind Yang Caiyun, wrapping his arms around her neck.

As their eyes met in the mirror, he said, “Sis, I don’t have that much energy!

What do you take me for!

I genuinely mean it when I say you look pretty, I just think you look beautiful.”

Chen Yang spoke these words very earnestly.

Yang Caiyun also smiled sincerely.

“Alright, alright, I believe you.

You go sit down for a while.

I need to tidy up and then get busy downstairs.”

“Okay, Sis.

Then I’ll wait for you in the living room.

There’s nothing much to do today, so I’ll help you out.”

Chen Yang nodded, let go of Yang Caiyun, and went to sit down in the living room.

Chen Yang waited in the living room for about twenty minutes or so, and then Yang Caiyun came out.

After dressing up, Yang Caiyun’s expression had returned to normal, and the flush on her face had faded away.

Not a trace of their recent activities could be seen.

“Let’s go, Yang Zi.

Come down and help Sis with the arrangements.”

Chen Yang hummed in response and went downstairs with Yang Caiyun.

The business at the River Fish Restaurant was still very stable.

Every day around eleven in the morning, people would start to trickle in for lunch.

So the kitchen staff, as well as the workers in the restaurant, were all prepared to receive guests, all of them experienced.

They worked very efficiently, so there wasn’t much need for Chen Yang’s help.

Most of the time at midday, Chen Yang just sat at the counter and watched Yang Caiyun managing the billing and orders and such.

Usually, he wouldn’t notice, but now, watching her, Chen Yang sincerely felt sorry for Yang Caiyun.

Working the front desk was truly exhausting.

All afternoon, from eleven until two-thirty, Yang Caiyun’s fingers never stopped moving.

If she wasn’t punching orders into the POS system, she was on the calculator, tallying up the restaurant’s revenue and settling the bills.

Chen Yang couldn’t stand to watch anymore, so he said, “Sis, this job is too tiring for you.

Let me hire a couple of accountants to help you out.

It’ll make things a lot easier for you.”

Yang Caiyun, who was doing the accounts, paused at his words, then turned back with a smile, “What’s wrong?

Feeling sorry for your sis?”

“Yeah, you’re so busy all day, your fingers constantly working.

Doesn’t it make you tired?” Chen Yang nodded earnestly, not caring if it sounded cheesy or not, as it was his genuine concern.

Seeing Chen Yang nod, Yang Caiyun felt a warmth in her heart.

“Haha, don’t worry about me, I’m not tired.

This is all I do every day.

If I hired someone else, I’d be bored to death!” Yang Caiyun laughed as she declined Chen Yang’s offer and went back to working on the calculator.

Seeing this, Chen Yang didn’t say anything more, because he could tell that Yang Caiyun truly didn’t want him to hire someone to help her.

So he didn’t press the issue further.

After the busy midday period, it was already past three o’clock.

After eating lunch in the restaurant and taking a short rest, they immediately had to start preparing for the afternoon rush.

Originally, Chen Yang thought he had nothing to do and was about to ask Yang Caiyun for some tasks.

But it so happened that Yang Caiyun came to Chen Yang first.

“Yang Zi, could you help me pick up Qianqian?

She gets out of school at six o’clock.

If you pick her up early, she can start her homework sooner,” Yang Caiyun said.

“Sure,” Chen Yang agreed immediately, then he picked up his phone to check the time and found it was already past five o’clock.

So he said at once, “I’ll head out now then, it will be about time when I get to her school.”

“Mm-hmm, just about right, go ahead,” Yang Caiyun said after glancing at the time herself and nodding.

“Then I’m off.”

Chen Yang nodded, took his car keys, and left.

Driving the van, he went straight to the county’s No.

1 High School.

About half an hour later, Chen Yang arrived at the entrance of the county’s No.

1 High School.

Having been there once before when he took Xia Qianqian to school, Chen Yang was quite familiar with the route and managed to find a good parking spot at the school gate, where he started waiting.

At six o’clock, with the school bell ringing, a flood of students poured out.

And at the school gate, where there were already many parents picking up their children, the entire road became overcrowded in an instant; even small cars were completely paralyzed, barely able to move an inch.

“Haha, how many years has it been, and not only has the situation not improved, but it’s also gotten even worse,” Chen Yang couldn’t help but remark as he observed the crowded throng.

Back when he was in school, the situation at the school gate was the same, teeming with people.

Seeing it now stirred a bit of nostalgia.

However, that was only for a moment, as Chen Yang, upon seeing so many students suddenly emerge, became worried that he might miss Xia Qianqian.

So, he found a small stone stool to stand on.

Chen Yang was already tall, and standing on the stool made him stand out from the crowd instantly.

From his elevated position, he quickly scanned the school gate and soon spotted a youthful, pretty figure.

Dressed in a school uniform, with a ponytail and a backpack, Xia Qianqian was walking out of the school.

Upon reaching the gate, Xia Qianqian looked around as if searching for something.

Seeing this, Chen Yang immediately raised his arm to greet Xia Qianqian.

But just as he began to lift his arm, he noticed several tall boys suddenly surround Xia Qianqian, quickly hemming her in.

They then moved away from the school gate with the bustling crowd, heading towards the alleys of a nearby residential area.

Chen Yang’s brows furrowed immediately upon seeing this.

He had a bad feeling, but instead of calling out right away, he quietly followed them in the direction they were headed.

During the school dismissal time, the entrance was swarming with people, so nobody noticed Xia Qianqian or Chen Yang.

Chen Yang wove through the crowd, entered the alley where the boys had disappeared, and after walking about fifty meters, he suddenly heard voices coming from another alley to the left.

“Xia Qianqian, you’re really taking too much liberty, aren’t you?

It’s your good fortune that Ming Ge fancies you, and being invited out by him is an honor.

You keep rejecting him—what are you trying to say?”

Chen Yang, in the alley, heard Xia Qianqian’s name and immediately peered around the corner to see what was happening.

He saw that the left alley was a dead end.

At that moment, a few boys were surrounding Xia Qianqian, who had been backed into a corner.

Xia Qianqian’s face showed tension, but not panic, as she clenched her teeth and, leaning against the wall, said, “I’ve already told you, I have a lot of schoolwork recently and really don’t have time.

It’ll be better after a while, why do you keep pestering me?”

“Heh, busy with schoolwork?” the boy in the center laughed coldly.

“How many times have you used that excuse?

Let me tell you, Ming Ge is running out of patience.

No matter what, you’re coming with us today!”

“Ming Ge has already reserved a private room at the KTV, just waiting for us to get there!”

The boy suddenly lost his patience and, without another word, started grabbing at Xia Qianqian.

Seeing this, the other two boys also started to help, trying to drag Xia Qianqian away by force.
