Chapter 748 2 Not Confused 8
They now live in a large single-level apartment that Meng Yubei bought.
Because they've been together for so many years, they've gotten used to living together.
Zhang Xin said that it would be best to buy an apartment in the same neighborhood once she has saved enough money.
"Sis, I underestimated your abilities. This huge penthouse with floor-to-ceiling windows must cost tens of millions." Meng Yinan looked around with delight as soon as she entered.
Zhang Xin sat down on the sofa and said with great laughter, "Xiao Nan, do you know what you look like right now? Just like a country bumpkin coming to the city, hahaha."
The three of them have a good relationship and don't hold back when they talk; they can tease each other without hesitation.
"I'm a college student who came out of the mountains, no, out of the sea and into the city. I'm immediately tempted by luxury cars and mansions. You're trying to corrupt my Daoist mind."
"Then I'll send you to suffer?" Meng Yubei said.
Meng Yunan walked to the sofa, threw herself up, and spread her arms, saying, "No need, no need, sister, go ahead and use money to corrupt my soul, don't be pitied."
"Hahaha, Ayu, your brother is so funny! I never realized he was this hilarious a few years ago!" Zhang Xin burst out laughing.
Meng Yubei thought Meng Yinan was a bit immature; how could she still be so abstract even in college?
She pointed to a room and said, "Meng Yinan, you can stay in that guest room. I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay, sis, sister Xin, you don't need to worry about me. I'll treat this place like my own home."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin chuckled again, while Meng Yubei turned around and went straight back to his room.
She took a leisurely bath, dried her hair, and applied a face mask. Just as she finished washing her face, there was a knock on the door.
Meng Yunan shouted loudly from outside the door, "Sis, come out for a late-night snack. Sister Xin made soup, and I also ordered takeout."
When Meng Yubei finished and opened the door, she saw the two people already sitting at the table waiting for her.
On the table was freshly stewed pork rib soup, as well as takeout barbecue and beer.
She walked over and sat down, taking a skewer of grilled beef to eat: "Why are you having a late-night snack tonight? Didn't you say you were on a diet yesterday?"
Zhang Xin often talks about losing weight, but she only cares about it when she's eating, at most she'll control herself from eating late-night snacks.
“I want to eat it. Sister Xin, you’re not fat at all, you don’t need to lose weight,” Meng Yinan said.
Zhang Xin shook her head: "You don't understand. I envy Ayu's physique, which allows her to eat whatever she wants without gaining weight."
She's the type who's a little chubby, with a just-right figure. Although she's not fat, she can easily gain weight if she's not careful.
Unfortunately, she has a sweet tooth and always likes to eat all kinds of delicious food, which is a little bit of a problem.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunan felt that he didn't understand either. Anyway, he usually liked to move around and played basketball at school, so he had a lot of exercise and didn't have the problem of gaining weight.
Meng Yubei also felt that it didn't matter whether Zhang Xin lost weight or not, but she would always regret eating too much, so she just asked her a question.

Shanghai
Zhou Xun sat leaning against the headboard, with only the bedside lamp on in the room. He held his phone and opened Meng Yinan's WeChat Moments again.
The latest post included four photos, and Zhou Xun clicked on the photo of the person on the dining table for the third time.
There are three people in the photo, but his gaze is only fixed on the person answering the phone.
Meng Yubei wore a simple white shirt, her hair was permed into a slightly curly style, and her long hair was as thick as seaweed, casually draped over her shoulders.
She had a cool and aloof demeanor, delicate features, and lowered her eyes, listening quietly to the voice on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Xun zoomed in on the picture until only Meng Yubei was in the frame. After hesitating for a while, he finally took a screenshot.
He exited his WeChat Moments, found that familiar profile picture, opened the chat page, typed two words, and sent them.
ZX: [Congratulations.]
After sending the message, he put down his phone, got up, went to the living room, and poured himself a glass of water.
While drinking water, Zhou Xun heard his phone beep in the room, so he put down his cup and went back to check his phone.
M: [?]
Seeing that she replied with a question mark, Zhou Xun smiled instead.
ZX: [Congratulations to your family! You've produced two academic superstars who are renowned far and wide.]
M: "You too, the land our two families own might have good feng shui." Meng Yubei joked.
ZX: [From a Feng Shui perspective, the home environment has a certain impact on a person's physical and mental health, including academic performance.]
Meng Yubei raised an eyebrow when she saw Zhou Xun's message. She didn't know if Zhou Xun couldn't understand her joke or if he was just naturally serious.
Fortunately, the two families were neighbors, and they had sat at adjacent desks for two years in school, so she roughly knew his personality.
Otherwise, people who don't know him well might think he likes to show off.
Over there, Zhou Xun saw that his message hadn't received a response for a long time, so he sent another one.
ZX: [Uncle Meng and Aunt Ye told me you opened a company in Beijing? Have you decided to develop your business there?]
It took about five minutes for them to reply.
M: [I'm here for now, but I don't know what will happen in the future.]
Maybe she'll go back and open a branch office, since her parents don't want to live with her.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun thought for a moment and then explained his plan.
ZX: [I plan to go back to work in Shenzhen, it's closer to home.]
He chose Fudan University in Shanghai because it was close to home, and he was worried about his father living alone.
M: [It's good.]
Zhou Xun thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "After graduation, I'd like to travel for a while. Are you free?"
M: [You want to come to Beijing?] Meng Yubei couldn't help but guess after hearing his words.
ZX: [Yeah, I've never been to Beijing, and I don't know anyone there except you.]
M: [I'll be doing graduate school then, how about Zhang Xin takes you sightseeing? We're all classmates.]
ZX: [Never mind then, I'm not that familiar with her, it's a bit of a shame, I've never been to Beijing.]
Meng Yubei raised an eyebrow and chuckled as she held her phone, feeling that Zhou Xun's way of speaking had a certain straight-man charm.
Furthermore, he said he wasn't familiar with Zhang Xin after three years of being classmates; that's blatant lying.
She didn't seem to be much closer to him than Zhang Xin, and soon Zhou Xun sent another message.
ZX: [Actually, going out doesn't have to wait until after graduation; I'm free on weekends too.]
With his intentions so obvious, Meng Yubei could no longer pretend to be stupid.
M: [Weekends are fine. Just let me know in advance if you're coming.]
After seeing this, Zhou Xun immediately opened the ticketing app, checked the weekend's flight tickets, and then bought them.
ZX: [Today is Wednesday, and I bought a plane ticket for Friday night.]
M: […Hmm, you're pretty quick.]
She really wasn't being polite; the moment she finished speaking, this person immediately bought a ticket—this was premeditated.
ZX: [Fortunately, buying tickets on my phone is quite convenient.]
