Chapter Seventy-two Socializing

  Ye Pingyu savored the red wine while muttering to himself, and Ping Ruxue's beautiful eyes kept looking at him. Although it made him feel a bit embarrassed, he had already gotten used to it.

  After Ye Pingyu finished speaking, Ping Ruxue picked up her cup and smiled: "Ye Pingyu, I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine, once again expressing my gratitude!"

  Looking at Ping Yu Xue's smiling face, Ye Pingyu's heroic nature was also triggered, and he poured the wine in his cup full, saying: "It's a small matter, I'll take care of it all, you just do as you please!"

  After finishing, he drank it all in one gulp. Seeing him drink so boldly, Ping Yu Xue couldn't help but laugh and drank half of the wine in her cup before putting it down and saying: "Ye Ping Yu, I saw that you were a bit stiff earlier, are you feeling better now?"

  Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "I'm a small person from the countryside, seeing you big shots in the capital, I feel a bit nervous, but now it seems that we can also communicate with each other."

  "Haha!" Ping Ruxue laughed again and said: "Of course, we can communicate. People in the capital city are no different from those in Qingyun. My dad still works there, didn't Creek Jade say you've met him?"

  Ye Pingyu said: "Last time Xi Yao and You Ge went to Qingyun, I happened to see him. Commissioner Ping is very kind and approachable, but at the same time, he also has a lot of prestige. When I saw him, I felt as nervous as when I saw you!"

  "You're nervous when you see me too? Why?" Ping Ruxue curiously asked Ye Pingyu.

  Ye Pingyu stuttered again: "This, this is hard to say, I'm just a bit nervous, but now it's much better, relaxed. You look really beautiful!"

  "Haha!" Upon hearing Ye Pingyu say that she was too beautiful, Ping Ruxue couldn't help but laugh and said: "Because I'm pretty, you're nervous, are you always like this when you see a pretty girl?"

  Ye Pingyu hastily said: "It's not that, I just see you being a bit tense, because you're different from the others, I can't describe the feeling when I first saw you!"

  After saying this, Ye Pingyu's heart thumped again and he took a sip of red wine to cover it up. Ping Ruxue heard his words and her face also turned slightly red. In fact, she had the same unusual feeling when she saw Ye Pingyu, but she couldn't express it. She paused for a moment, then raised her head and smiled: "Ye Pingyu, have you never been in love?"

  The question was too direct, and Ye Pingyu's face turned even redder as he stuttered: "N-not yet, we've just been in contact, it doesn't count as dating!"

  "What's it like to have been in a relationship?" Ping Ruxue asked with a smile.

  Ye Pingyu looked up at her and said: "It's just that we met and talked, had a little good feeling for each other, but after graduating from college, we dispersed, it was like this."

  Ping Ru Xue smiled and said: "I feel that you are a bit shy, is it like this?"

  As soon as she said that, Ye Pingyu suddenly spoke out loud: "I'm just a bit shy in this aspect, but I'm not like that in other things."

  Pingru Xue smiled slightly and nodded, feeling that Ye Pingyu was very down-to-earth but had a strong desire to succeed. Such a man was undoubtedly excellent and couldn't be compared to those spoiled rich kids.

  "Ye Pingyu, when are you going back to Qingyun?" asked Ping Ruxue after some thought.

  "Let's do it in a few days, my grandfather and father are still here, they haven't finished touring the scenic area yet, and Brother You will take them around again. After that, I'll go back."

  Ping Ruxue thought for a moment and said: "Since you can still stay for a few days, how about this? I'll call You Zhibing to accompany your grandfather, and then to express my gratitude, I'll take you around Yanjing City?"

  "Is this okay?" Ye Pingyu's heart skipped a beat, but he still hesitated for a moment.

  Hei Junxue smiled and said: "What's wrong with that? I'm free anyway, I'll accompany you to take a stroll."

  When Ping Yu heard Ping Xue say that, he couldn't oppose it anymore. The two of them lowered their heads and drank a bit more red wine together before leaving the bar with Ping Xue driving him back to his hotel.

  After arriving at the hotel, Ping Yu Xue greeted him and then drove away. Watching her leave, Ye Pingyu felt a sense of loss and returned to the hotel.

  At this time, it was already late at night. After Ye Pingyu returned to his room, he fell asleep, but in his mind, Ping Ruxue's shadow kept flashing. He really didn't expect that the person he had saved back then was her. It felt like there was a kind of fate between them. Although their family status was vastly different, this time he felt that the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

  The next morning, Ping Yuxue arrived even earlier than You Zhongbing and came to pick him up. He asked if he had told You Zhongbing yet, and she said that she already had, so they could just get in the car and go.

  Ye Pingyu finished speaking and then handed over to his grandfather before getting on the car and leaving. Sitting in Ping Ruxue's car, he was both excited and thrilled. After Ping Ruxue took him away from the hotel, she didn't immediately go to the scenic spot, but instead came to a Western restaurant for dinner first.

  When they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Ye Pingyu got out of the car with her, thinking that there were only two people. However, as soon as they entered inside, they saw a middle-aged beautiful woman waving at them.

  Ping Ruxue happily ran over, and Ye Pingyu had no choice but to follow. When they arrived in front of her, Ping Ruxue smiled and said to him: "This is my mother."

  After talking to him, Ping Ruxue said to her mother again: "Mom, this is the Ye Pingyu who fought against the evil gangsters that year."

  Ping Yu's mother immediately swept towards Ye Pingyu, with a very kind expression, and after sizing him up for a while, she smiled satisfactorily and said: "Little Ye, thank you, sit down and have some food!"

  Ye Pingyu was also sizing her up, and apart from feeling that she was quite gentle, more importantly, he felt that she had a lot of elegance, exuding a noble aura all over her body. This nobility seemed to be similar to Feng Qin's, but somehow different. Feng Qin's nobility seemed to have a kind of "keeping people at arm's length" feeling, but the beautiful woman in front of him, who was Ping Ruxue's mother, didn't have that.

  "Auntie, hello!" Ye Pingyu called out politely before sitting down.

  Pingru Xue also sat down and smiled at her mother: "Mom, Ye Pingyu has met my dad before!"

  Her mother smiled and said: "He is our family's benefactor, doesn't your father know?"

  Ping Ru Xue smiled and said: "At that time, I definitely didn't know, but later I will know, when I have time, I'll go to Qingyun."

  When Ye Pingyu heard her mother say that he was a benefactor, after Ping Ruxue finished speaking, he hastily said: "Auntie, I don't dare to be called a benefactor. At the time, whoever discovered it would have gone up to rescue people. I just happened to encounter it at the time. Those two scoundrels were really too bold."

  Ping Ruxue said, "That's not necessarily true. At the time, Nan Shao was almost scared to death, I was taken away, and he just stood there, not daring to move. If he had been a bit bolder at the time, the thugs wouldn't have been so arrogant!"

  When Ping Yu heard Ping Xue say this, he only then knew that Nan Shao Bo was there at the time. After hearing this, Ping Xue's mother said: "Xue, don't mention past events again. Now you've found the person who saved you back then, your heart is at ease, and from now on, let's not bring up this matter again, okay?"

  Her mother didn't want her to have the shadow of the past, so she let her not mention the past again. Ping Yuxue agreed and then the three people ate a little together.

  After dinner, Pingru Xue told her mother that she was going out for a walk with Ye Pingyu. Her mother didn't stop her but reminded her to be careful, and she readily agreed.

  Watching the two of them leave, her mother was also lost in thought. Her daughter was already quite old, and many wealthy young men from the capital had been introduced to her, but none of them were to her liking. That Southern gentleman, Bo Nan, was still waiting for her, but she firmly refused to agree. When would they finally get married?

  With Ye Pingyu leaving the restaurant, Ping Ruxue's mood was exceptionally good. Ye Pingyu looked at her hair fluttering in the wind, without the cold and icy demeanor she had when he first saw her last night.

  Actually, before the accident, her personality wasn't that cold and icy. It was similar to how it is now, but after the accident, her personality completely changed, becoming a cold and icy one. Now that she's found the person who saved her back then, she suddenly walked out of the shadows of the past, and her personality started recovering to its original state, which Ye Pingyu doesn't know about.

  "Ye Pingyu, what are you doing down there?" asked Pingru Xue with a smile while driving on the road.

  Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "I am a township cadre, an ordinary little cadre that can't be any more ordinary."

  Ping Ru Xue chuckled and said: "How did you think of going downstairs to work after graduating from university?"

  Ye Pingyu said: "The country needs it, aren't we all supposed to follow the country's arrangement?"

  Ping Ru Xue smiled again and said: "Then are you going to keep working there all the time?"

  Ye Pingyu said: "Our place is very poor, and for now I still don't have any thoughts of leaving that place."

  Pingru Xue nodded and didn't say anything else. Ye Pingyu looked at her and asked: "Do you have a job?"

  Ping Ruxue said: "I just started working and I work at Yenching University as a teacher!"

  "Are you a teacher?" Ye Pingyu couldn't quite believe it - how could someone from such a good family only become a teacher?

  "What, you don't believe me? I just returned from studying abroad and thought of becoming a teacher, so I became one. Feng Xi Yao's mom is also a teacher, but she's already a professor!" Ping Ru Xue said with a smile.

  Feng Qin is also a teacher, Ye Pingyu thought for a moment and said: "I think being a university teacher is really great, with free time, and dealing with knowledge all day, it will make people more and more tasteful!"

  Ping Ruxue smiled and said: "Really? Then why didn't you become a teacher in the first place?"

  Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "I'm not qualified enough, I can only go work downstairs!"
