 Chapter 57 Departure

At the college in the provincial capital, Ma Qun took a letter from the communication room for Zhou Ping Xiang. When he saw it, he was overjoyed, thinking that Ping Xiang would be happy today.

"Hey, Ma Qun, you came back from outside. Did you buy something delicious for your match again?"

A classmate saw Ma Qun carrying a bulging bag and greeted him with a smile.

Ma Qun carefully stuffed the letter into his pocket, "Yes. There are no classes today, so I went out."

The classmate gave Ma Qun a thumbs up and said, "I've never seen someone so caring like you. Zhou Ping Xiang is so lucky."

Ma Qun indifferently waved his hands. The two of them exchanged a few words and separated.

He didn't take other people's compliments seriously. Everyone thought he was good to Zhou Ping Xiang, but Zhou Ping Xiang was also good to him. What’s more, he admitted what he did was far behind Song Wei Ping.

Ma Qun first put his things in the dormitory, then went to wait for Zhou Ping Xiang outside the classroom. He held the letter in his hand. When Zhou Ping Xiang came out, he told her the news, "Ping Xiang, Xu Xiao Jiao wrote to you."

Zhou Ping Xiang grinned at once, "Really?"

Ma Qun handed her the letter, "Can I still lie to you? Well, I've got the letter."

Zhou Ping Xiang couldn't wait to tear open the envelope and lowered her head to read.

Ma Qun smiled and pulled her aside. He stood outside to protect her and prevent others from bumping into her.

Zhou Ping Xiang scanned the letter first. She was even more happy when she saw the end, "Ma Qun, Xiao Jiao said that she and Song Wei Ping will come to the provincial capital and come to play with us."

Ma Qun was also overjoyed, "Really?"

He didn't have as much affection for Song Wei Ping and Xu Xiao Jiao as Zhou Ping Xiang. Still, he wouldn't be able to attend college without the help of these two people. He was always grateful in his heart. When he heard that the two people were coming, he rubbed his hands and said, "Then we have to properly entertain them.”

Zhou Ping Xiang hummed in acknowledgement. She pondered, "When they two come, let's go to Central Park to play together and go hiking while we are at it."

Naturally, Ma Qun had no objections, "You must be delighted. Xu Xiao Jiao is here before you even go to Meilin Village."

Zhou Ping Xiang immediately retorted, "What Meilin Village? Xiao Jiao and the others have moved to the town now. You forgot."

Ma Qun only had a moment of tongue slip up, "Of course I can't forget. From what I see, you are closer to Xu Xiao Jiao than to me. I remember clearly just by listening to you. Xu Xiao Jiao's family bought a bicycle, a television, and a big watch as well as moving to town now, right?”

Zhou Ping Xiang laughed, "Xiao Jiao had said in the letter that Song Wei Ping bought her a camera and she will bring it this time to take pictures for us."

She wasn't envious at all. She was truly happy that Xu Xiao Jiao was living a good life.

However, Ma Qun felt that he was under a lot of pressure, "It seems I have to work harder."

Zhou Ping Xiang folded the letter and said, "Work harder? Ma Qun, you are already brilliant. You even got a scholarship this time."

Ma Qun was pumped up when his match praised him for being brilliant. Still, he decided to follow Song Wei Ping's example, "I will work hard to be like Song Wei Ping. When we get married in the future, I will let you have everything."

Since she and Ma Qun started dating, Zhou Ping Xiang was set on him. She didn’t have an opposite mouth and hard-mouth-soft-heart like Xu Xiao Jiao. The two have already discussed marriage.

Hearing Ma Qun's words, she smiled and shook her head, "Don't think that when I tell you that Song Wei Ping bought so many things for Xiao Jiao, I also want you to buy them for me."

She wanted to find someone to share this joy with. There was no jealousy involved.

Ma Qun nodded, "Of course I know what you mean. Hehe, I just want to find a target? My target is Song Wei Ping. He is my role model."

Zhou Ping Xiang didn't refute. Grinning, she replied, "Okay, then I will enjoy the same happiness as Xiao Jiao from now on."

Ma Qun not only said that, he also did a good job. Summer had arrived. He bought a good few sets of clothes for Zhou Ping Xiang. This made Zhou Ping Xiang's roommate envious.

So when Xu Xiao Jiao came to find her, what she saw was the gentle and intellectual Zhou Ping Xiang.

The two ran and hugged each other excitedly. Xu Xiao Jiao cheerfully kissed Zhou Ping Xiang's face, "Ping Xiang, why are you becoming more and more beautiful and your temperament is getting better and better."

Zhou Ping Xiang knew that she was doing well when she saw her face was fair and rosy, "You are pretty too."

One of them was soft and the other was smart. Standing together, they were as beautiful as a painting.

After the group greeted, Zhou Ping Xiang walked in front closely next to Xu Xiao Jiao. The two flower protectors followed behind.

Ma Qun was also very happy to see Song Wei Ping again, "Hehe, Song Wei Ping, Old Brother Song, it's been a long time since we last saw each other. You got to properly enjoy this trip."

When Song Wei Ping saw the peach blossoms on his face, he knew that he and Zhou Ping Xiang were getting along, "Have you got the status?"

He still remembered that time when Zhou Ping Xiang went to Meilin Village to visit Xu Xiao Jiao, and Ma Qun also went. The two girls stayed together, while he stayed with Ma Qun. EVery night, Ma Qun asked him to help and kept complaining that he had no status and was afraid that Zhou Ping Xiang was snatched away by others.

Ma Qun scratched his head and felt a little complacent, "Of course, we have been together for a good few months. We have even talked about getting married in the future."

He touched Song Wei Ping with his arm and said, "Song Wei Ping, Ping Xiang's attitude toward me changed after she came back from Meilin Village. Then I worked even harder and it worked. Did you help me by blowing pillow wind? Thank you!"

Of course Song Wei Ping didn't blow it. So what pillow wind. They were still sleeping under two quilts. He himself still had a long way to go, so he couldn't pay any heed to others.

However, Xu Xiao Jiao had said that she thought Ma Qun was good and had already persuaded Zhou Ping Xiang to give it a try. Rounding it off, this was considered a blow.

"En." Song Wei Ping nodded reservedly.

Ma Qun patted his chest and said, "I'll be the host this time and show you some fun. I heard from Ping Xiang that you're doing business. After the policy was opened, I went out for several activities and still have some understanding of the provincial capital. I’ll talk to you in detail when we have dinner.”

This was an unexpected surprise. Song Wei Ping didn’t act reserved with him, "Okay, I’ll trouble you."

He had never been to the provincial capital, but Ma Qun had been there for a year. He must know more news than he does.

It was already noon when they arrived in the provincial capital. Ma Qun had already booked a guesthouse room for the two of them near the school.

Because it was only Friday, Ma Qun and Zhou Ping Xiang had classes in the afternoon. At noon, it was only a simple meal and walking around the school. Xu Xiao Jiao and Song Wei Ping went back to the guest house to rest.

The guest house booked a single room and a double bed room. The environment was pretty good.

Xu Xiao Jiao held up the camera to look at the photos she had taken at school and chatted with Song Wei Ping.

"The environment of the provincial capital college is really good, especially the lake. The water is so clear and there are many fish in it."

Song Wei Ping nodded. Xu Xiao Jiao had no special interest in college because she had gone to college. But Song Wei Ping had something different in mind, "If you had taken the college entrance examination at that time, you should be in college now."

Xu Xiao Jiao laid on the bed and shook her feet, "I'm not interested.However, I can show it to Xiao Gang when I get back and encourage him to study hard. When he graduates, he will work for you as a laborer."

Song Wei Ping still admired college students very much. Hearing this, he felt that Xu Xiao Jiao was fantasizing, "You think highly of me. Recruiting college students to work for me? I am not that capable."

Xu Xiao Jiao glanced at him, "Then you underestimate yourself too much, Song Wei Ping."

She rolled her eyes and said, "How about making a bet?"

"What bet?"

Xu Xiao Jiao sat up and said, "I bet you will recruit college students to be your employees in the future."

She thought for a while, "The prize is a request. Any request is fine."

"Warm the bed counts?" Song Wei Ping looked at her.

Xu Xiao Jiao stretched out her legs and kicked him, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, what are you thinking about every day? I'm being serious with you."

"Am I not serious?" Song Wei Ping raised his eyebrows and argued with reason, "You said any request is fine."

Xu Xiao snorted, "Fine. You can warm the bed. That's okay?  Anyway, you can't win."

She was thinking that when the time came, she would tell Song Wei Ping to stay alone in the vacant room for a month and see what he would do.

Song Wei Ping didn't care, "If I lose the bet, I’ll still make a profit."

If he loses the bet, it means that he hired college students as employees. If that is the case, his achievements should not be low and she should be happier by then.

Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "Yes, look how good I am to you."

She put down the camera and looked at him with her chin propped up, "I really hope it will come soon. Song Wei Ping, you will definitely become what others call a successful person."

She noticed it today. Although Song Wei Ping didn't say it, when he saw the college, watched the students coming and going, and felt the strong scholarly atmosphere on campus, he should be envious, or regretful, or disappointed. Maybe even there was a touch of inferiority complex.

She didn't want him to be like this. She wanted him to go to the future and see that he will be very powerful and successful in the future and even become a legend in the business field. And, she will witness his success.

He didn’t have to feel inferior.

Song Wei Ping laughed and said, "Are you tired? Take a nap."

Xu Xiao hummed in confirmation, laid down, and patted the place next to her, "Come here. Let's sleep together."

The position she pointed at was very close to her. So when the two of them slept together, he would almost be hugging her.

Song Wei Ping suddenly lost all emotional feeling and went to bed obediently, preparing to sleep with his wife in his arms.

Xu Xiao Jiao snickered, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, you never sleep during the day."

She had the habit of taking an afternoon nap, but he didn't. He occasionally chatted to her and when she fell asleep, he would busy himself.

Song Wei Ping stated seriously, "I'm tired from the journey. I want to sleep today."

Seeing him lying down beside her, Xu Xiao Jiao leaned against him as he wished, "Then you won't sleep in the future?"

Feeling her close movement, Song Wei Ping looked down at her and felt warmth in his heart, "Sleep, I will sleep with you from now on."

Xu Xiao Jiao hummed but said nothing. She was really sleepy and fell asleep in a moment.

Song Wei Ping stared at her for a long time, hugged her contentedly, and unexpectedly slept soundly.

In the evening, the four of them went out together. Ma Qun took them to see the night view of the provincial capital.

Ma Qun was much more familiar with the provincial capital than Zhou Ping Xiang.

"I still have relatively few classes, so don’t I have it easy? I often come here at night to set up a night stall. Even though it is a small stall, it is actually quite profitable."

The reason why he had money to buy delicious food and clothes for Zhou Ping Xiang wasn't because he spent the family's money, but because it was all earned by himself.

Zhou Ping Xiang and Xu Xiao Jiao were walking in the middle. When Xu Xiao Jiao heard this, she leaned against Zhou Ping Xiang and said in a low voice, "Ma Qun treats you well and on top of that, he is  motivated."

The surroundings were a bit noisy and the two girls were whispering. The boys on both sides couldn't hear them. Zhou Ping Xiang also quietly replied to her, "He said he learned it from Song Wei Ping. I’m basking in your light."

Zhou Ping Xiang raised her eyes to look at Song Wei Ping, then looked down at Xu Xiao Jiao, "How are you two?"

Xu Xiao Jiao rubbed her nose. From spring to summer, they still made little progress.

Zhou Ping Xiang was worried for her, "You know to act up. You are wasting your good times of your youth."

Xu Xiao Jiao looked at her, "It can’t be that you two are, like that?"

Zhou Ping Xiang pushed her and responded, "What are you talking about? We are not married yet. We can wait until we are married."

Xu Xiao Jiao chuckled, "We are different. You guys fall in love first and then get married. We got married first and then fell in love."

"Then you guys, are you soon?" Zhou Ping Xiang looked at her.

Xu Xiao Jiao remembered the scene in the afternoon when the two of them slept hugging each other. The feeling of waking up in his arms was quite good.

Though she didn't speak, Zhou Ping Xiang saw the shyness on her face and understood a little bit in her heart, "Anyway, hurry up. I don't have any other good friends. You are the only one. Better not end with us already having children and you are still grinding.”

Xu Xiao Jiao was about to retort when she heard someone calling them from behind.

"Xiao Jiao? Ping Xiang?"
