Chapter 32: Trust

  Tang Danqing's heart was even more unpleasant, she hoped that the wild Liang Fengyang was a straightforward person, not a "sly" person, because being friends with a "sly" person is like burying hidden dangers in one's own life.

  Liang Fengyang, who was having dinner with Zhao 'Yu' Yan, wanted to leave immediately and go back to explain to Tang Danqing and 'Hua' Die that he valued his friends very much, and Tang Danqing and 'Hua' Die were two especially precious friends to him.

  "Yuanyuan, don't drink anymore, you'll get drunk if you have another one. I also need to head back, we can accompany each other for drinks some other time."

  "I really want to get drunk, maybe after getting drunk, my mood will be better. Please stay and keep me company to get drunk together. Those two women from the big city, how many days have you known them? Can their friendship with you compare to our friendship?"

  Zhao 'Yu' Yan poured himself another glass of wine, didn't clink glasses with Liang Fengyang, grabbed the cup and brought it to his lips, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

  Indeed.

  Zhao 'Yu' Yan got drunk.

  She even lost the ability to sit steadily in a chair, and her body would fall to the ground with just one tilt.

  Liang Fengyang naturally wouldn't let her fall to the ground and quickly wrapped his arms around her in a swift motion.

  Oh ah!

  Her soft body leaned into Liang Fengyang's arms, and Zhao 'Yu'yan let out a dazed cry.

  "Hold me tight, give me hope, hold me tight, don't let me despair! Hold me..."

  A vague voice came out of Zhao 'Yu'yan's mouth, but Liang Fengyang heard it clearly. He could only hold Zhao 'Yu'yan in his arms.

  Liang Fengyang held Zhao 'Yu'yan from the dining room to the living room, he sat on the soft sofa, and Zhao 'Yu'yan lay in his arms.

  Under the influence of alcohol, Zhao Yuxuan's heart was racing, her breathing was rapid, and her upper body was heaving with fullness, bringing a softness to Liang Fengyang.

  Gradually, Zhao Yu fell asleep.

  Liang Fengyang had a mind to leave, but he was also afraid that after leaving, Zhao 'Yu' Yan would wake up and do something stupid.

  She mentioned jumping off the building, which indeed scared Liang Fengyang.

  Zhao 'Yu' Yan is now just like him, without a father or mother, having lost his loved ones, and with deep self-blame in his heart.

  He couldn't just abandon Zhao Yuyan and leave because of misunderstandings with Tang Danqing and Hua Die, so after some consideration, Liang Fengyang decided to stay.

  An hour had passed and Zhao Yu was still fast asleep. Her cheeks were still flushed, but her breathing had calmed down.

  If Zhao 'Yu' Yan slept till tomorrow morning, would he have to spend a whole night with her?

  Liang Fengyang could feel Zhao 'Yu'yan's infuriating curves, but he didn't know if the sleeping Zhao 'Yu'yan could feel his masculinity. Even if he was passive, there was a strong suspicion of being seduced.

  Another hour passed, Zhao Yu's body moved slightly, thinking she was going to wake up, but she just adjusted her posture a bit and remained in deep sleep.

  Perhaps it was because she slept in Liang Fengyang's arms that made her feel extremely comfortable, so she wouldn't wake up easily.

  Maybe she's saying it in her sleep too, I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time, Liang Fengyang, you make me feel so comfortable.

  It was already past 10 o'clock at night, but Zhao Yu had no intention of waking up.

  Liang Fengyang was sweating profusely, but he really couldn't just leave like that.

  Feng Yang Fashion usually closes before 9 pm, at this time Cao Yazhi had already returned home, took a bath, changed into pajamas, and was eating fruit while watching TV. Her plump legs would occasionally tremble, stirring up a provocative wave.

  Hearing the doorbell ring, Cao Yazi thought that Liang Fengyang had come to eat her tofu again. When she opened the door, it was Tang Danqing and Huadie.

  "Two beautiful women, come in quickly."

  Cao Yazhi warmly invited Tang Danqing and 'Hua' Die into the house, then offered them seats and cut a watermelon to serve.

  Seeing Tang Danqing's gloomy expression, Cao Yazi asked in confusion: "Danqing, what's wrong with you? Where's Feng Yang? Has he bullied you?"

  "The wind has blown away and still hasn't returned with Zhao Yuqian's money." Tang Danqing looked very worried.

  When she heard the name Zhao 'Yu' Yan, Cao Yazhi felt embarrassed, because of the bond between Liang Fengyang, Zhao 'Yu' Yan and Ye Pengfei, she was very clear.

  After Zhao 'Yu' Yan framed Liang Fengyang, leading to the breakup of Ye Pengfei and Liang Fengyang, Liang Fengyang still asked Cao Yazi for advice after drinking. At that time, Cao Yazi racked her brains and said that it was necessary to untie the bell by the person who tied it, unless Zhao 'Yu' Yan personally clarified, otherwise Ye Pengfei would continue to misunderstand.

  Tang Danqing smiled and said, "Sister Cao, don't be embarrassed. Feng Yang has already told me about what happened between him and Zhao 'Yu'yan, Ye Pengfei. I just want to know, is Feng Yang innocent?"

  "Feng Yang is absolutely innocent!" Cao Yazhi's words were extremely affirmative.

  "Hua" butterfly said: "Cao sister, do you really believe that Liang Fengyang has never done anything to Zhao Yuyan? Maybe at the time, Zhao Yuyan seduced Liang Fengyang and then he couldn't control himself."

  "Absolutely not!" Cao Yazi's tone was still very affirmative.

  Tang Danqing said: "Cao Jie, currently in this world, who understands Liang Fengyang the most should be you?"

  "If you insist on saying that, it's not impossible. I'm ten years older than Feng Yang. When we lived in the bungalows, we were neighbors. Now that we've moved into the resettlement houses, we're still neighbors. I've watched him grow up. When he was just a kid, he'd often follow me around, and when I went to school, he'd come find me and ask me to buy him sugar gourds and ice pops. When I went to work in the fields, he'd tag along. As he grew older, he became very wild and chivalrous. I've seen everything he's done, and he's always been true to his family and friends!"

  Through Cao Yazi's words, Tang Danqing and 'Hua' Die not only gained a clearer understanding of Liang Fengyang's character but also understood the deep feelings between Liang Fengyang and Cao Yazi.

  Tang Danqing smiled, and at the same time tears flowed out of her eyes. She was deeply moved and also felt fortunate. The deep emotion came from Liang Fengyang's sense of justice, and the good fortune was that she had met such a chivalrous man.

  "Cao Jie, the feelings between you and Feng Yang are very deep. Although you're not his 'woman', but you're a very important person in his life. If you go to Yanjin, Liang Fengyang will definitely miss you very much."

  "Dan Qing, don't worry, I won't become a hindrance to your progress. He's a talented person, it's a waste for him to stay in this small county town and run a clothing store with me. He should go to a big city like Yanjin! You two take him away!"

  Tang Danqing and 'Hua' Die were moved by Cao Yazi, they also wanted to bring Liang Fengyang to Yanjin, but how easy is it?

  Tang Dan Qing had just wiped away her tears with a scented handkerchief, when Tan Feng's eyes became moist again. She smiled and said: "I and 'Hua' Die will probably return to Yanjin in a few days. Feng Yang said he won't go with us, saying he still has unfinished business in Qinghu County. I can sense that he can't let you go."

  "This guy, I'll advise him, he's ten years younger than me, he calls me Cao Jie, I'm a grown man, there's nothing that would make him worry."

  Cao Yazhi's smile was elegant, but her heart had begun to shed tears. If Liang Fengyang really left Qinghu County, she would be very lonely.

  All three of them started eating watermelon, and Tang Danqing hesitated for a moment before saying: "Cao Jie, you and Feng Yang's clothing store can't make much money anyway. Why don't you go to Yanjin with him? I'll take care of arranging work for you, and guarantee that your monthly salary will be over 10,000."

  Cao Yazi smiled and said: "As for me, I'm just a 'girl' born and raised in Qinghu County. Although I do clothing business, I also farm. The plot of land where Feng Yang brought you to eat wild game is mine, from sowing to weeding, it's all my work. The urban area of Qinghu County is small, so I can move around freely. If I really went to a big city like Yanzhen, I'm afraid I'd get lost, so I don't want to go."

  Tang Danqing and 'Hua' Die fell silent, they understood Cao Yazi's mood. Cao Yazi was living well in Qinghu County Town, they couldn't force her to go to Yanjin either.

  Midnight.

  Tang Danqing and 'Hua' Die had already lain down on their 'bed', but they were still awake, chatting about something.

  Zhao 'Yu' Yan's home, she had woken up and knew that she was leaning against Liang Fengyang's chest, feeling very comfortable and not wanting to open her eyes.

  Liang Fengyang felt suffocated, he now wanted to go back immediately, see Tang Danqing and 'Hua' Die, try to explain things clearly, but Zhao 'Yu' Yan made him unable to move.

  He faintly felt that Zhao 'Yu' Yan's plump body was squeezing his, and Liang Feng Yang's eyebrows furrowed, absolutely not because he was using force, but because Zhao 'Yu' Yan was using force.

  "'Jade' face, if you're already awake, then open your eyes. It's no fun like this."

  When Liang Fengyang said that, Zhao 'Yu' Yan opened her eyes and smiled: "Sleeping in your arms is so comfortable! You are much better than Ye Pengfei, being with you makes people feel at ease."

  "You framed me for sleeping with you, was it just to stick to me?" Liang Fengyang said with a light smile.

  "If I really want to stick to you, if I really want to be your 'woman', would you want me?"

  "We are friends, and that kind of thing is not suitable between us. To put it more clearly, you're more suited to being my friend than my 'woman'." said Liang Fengyang.

  "You're disgusted because I slept with Ye Pengfei that 'bastard' before?"

  "This has nothing to do with it," said Liang Fengyang.

  "Don't worry, I don't want to marry you, I just want to be your mistress. The love that I thought was like a dream has killed my father, the beautiful first love that I thought was wonderful turned out to be so ridiculous. I've given up on love, but as a woman, I really need a strong man like you. Please let me be your mistress, you can sleep with me, and let me do your laundry and wash your underwear..."

  "'Yu'yan, don't say that, you will always be my friend, not a lover. Can I leave now?" Liang Fengyang said.

  "If you agree to be my lover, you can leave; if you don't agree, you can also leave. After you leave, I will jump off the building," said Zhao 'Yu' Yan.

  If he had known that the 50,000 yuan would be so passive, Liang Fengyang would have let Cao Yazi bring the money over and he wouldn't have to meet Zhao Yuanyan himself.

  But now, what should he do? Liang Fengyang's forehead was sweating, his eyes were wide open, and he wanted to let the crooked neck tree god on Qinglong Mountain save him, but at this moment, there was no sign of the crooked neck tree god.

  "Yuanyuan, can't we just live a good life? Can't we avoid jumping off the building? You and I are both 23 years old, it shouldn't be like this."

  "Let me be your lover, and I'll live a good life."

  "Can you give me some time to consider? As for me, after a while, around October, I will go to Yanzheng to develop, and I will take out time to consider this issue." Liang Fengyang said.

  "I want you to make a decision right now."

  "It's impossible now."

  "How long will you consider?"

  "Maybe half a year, maybe one year, maybe three years..."

  Zhao 'Yu' Yan was afraid that Liang Fengyang would say too much, so she quickly covered his mouth with her soft hand.

  "Are you going to Yanjin? Will you be back for the Spring Festival?"

  "Most of them will come back," said Liang Fengyang.

  "Why don't we make a deal, before the Spring Festival arrives, you give me an answer. If by that time you agree to be my lover, I'll live a good life; if not, I'll jump off a building on New Year's Eve."

  Zhao 'Yu' Yan didn't have a hint of joking in his tone, this kind of "daring to die" spirit made Liang Fengyang "pee" anxiously.

  "Alright."

  Liang Fengyang forced out the two words with a stiff face, then quickly got up and went to the bathroom. Looking at his back, Zhao 'Yu' pursed her lips and smiled.
