Chapter 135: F*** You Zhang Bing!

Yang Ming was certain that Zhang Bing would call again later. Hence, he ignored the phone call. As expected, after half an hour, Zhang Bing called again, “Yang Ming, why didn’t you accept the phone call before? Are you and Lan Ling…”

“Damn, what are you thinking? I was having a meal at my house. I didn’t hear it.” Yang Ming scolded, “Did you need anything?”

“Come over to my house tomorrow. Both of us will be registering into a driving school. Please don’t forget about it!” Zhang Bing reminded him.

“I won’t forget! Oh, ya, can you help me to pass this message to Uncle Zhang? I told my parents I am working at Uncle Zhang’s company. I have a monthly salary of three thousand yuan. Don’t make any mistake on it!” Yang Ming suddenly remembered that he didn’t inform Zhang Bing about his job yet. If Zhang Bing came over to visit, then Yang Ming’s parents may ask, and his lie would be exposed.

“About that, no problem.” Zhang Bing nodded after he listened to it. “It is just a small matter. I will tell my dad about it. Also, Yang Ming, which car should I buy?”

“Brother! You haven’t gotten a driver’s license yet. Don’t think too much about it!” Yang Ming laughed bitterly.

“I’m excited!” Zhang Bing said, “I looked into forums about cars. I’m interested in several car models. You should help me research it tomorrow!”

“Alright…” Yang Ming didn’t want to pour cold water on him. He merely brushed it aside.

Yang Ming had already listed Zhang Bing’s phone number as a spam caller. He was purely bored with him.

Yang Ming logged into QQ. Suddenly, he noticed “Xiao Yan” [1] a.k.a. Chen Mengyan was online. In the blink of an eye, Yang Ming quickly put his status as incognito. However, Chen Mengyan noticed it.

Xiao Yan: “Yang Ming, are you here?”

Yang Ming saw the blinking profile picture on QQ. He didn’t know what to do at this time. Logically speaking, Chen Mengyan took the initiative to contact him, so Yang Ming should be happy about it. But, Yang Ming in this instant trembled with fear. It was the feeling when he faced his lover after an affair.

Yang Ming wasn’t sure if he was having an affair. But, I fell in love with Chen Mengyan first and Lang Ling later. No, isn’t living a life like this bad? I’m a man living in a state of being overcautious.  It seems like I need to look for Lan Ling as soon as possible and undo the voodoo. Or else, never mind a harem life, my daily life will be a struggle!

Yang Ming switched off his computer. He didn’t want to play with it anymore, so he went to bed straight away.

The next morning, Zhang Bing called even before Yang Ming was awake.

“Are you urging me to die?” Yang Ming saw the call and asked impatiently.

“It is already 8 o’clock, and you are still sleeping. You should come over sooner. We need to look into the matter of the driving school!” Zhang Bing prompted him.

“Alright, wait for me.” Yang Ming directly switched off his phone. He continued sleeping. He was thinking about his messed up romantic life last night, so he didn’t manage to sleep well!

Yang Ming wanted to reconcile with Chen Mengyan if possible. He didn’t want to abandon Lan Ling either. He wished to have both of them. If that was not possible, it wouldn’t be bad if he could have an affair covertly.

However, that was just Yang Ming’s fantasy. The reality was cruel.

At approximately 10 a.m., Yang Ming finally left his bed and went to the toilet drowsily. He washed his face and switched on his phone. Not even a minute passed by when Zhang Bing called again.

“Yang Ming, you are shameful! You even switched off your phone!” Zhang Bing shouted through the phone. Yang Ming subconsciously distanced himself from the phone. The model 1200 might not have marvelous functionality, but the sound quality was brilliant. Yang Ming quickly lowered the volume.

“It ran out of battery and switched off on its own.” Yang Ming sweated a bit. Wasn’t the timing quite on point? I switched on the phone and the call just connected. Yang Ming said, “I just finished charging my phone, and your call came in!”

“Hey! I called you every five minutes!” Zhang Bing replied.

Yang Ming was speechless. This fellow was quite persistent. If he had treated his studies with such spirit, Zhang Bing didn’t need to spend so much to gain entry for joint university xx.

“Wait for me. I will arrive in ten minutes.” Yang Ming felt it was embarrassing. Hence, he grabbed a taxi and headed to Zhang Bing’s house.

Zhang Bing had already been looking forward to it. The instant Yang Ming pressed the doorbell, Zhang Bing buzzed opened the door. The speed was as fast as an automated door. If others didn’t know, they would have thought Yang Ming pressed the button to open the door.

Yang Ming went up the stairs, and Zhang Bing had already opened the door and waited for him.

“Shame on you. It is already past 11 o’clock! Do you know how I spent my time in these two hours?”  Zhang Bing complained, and his face looked like an angry wife.

“Please don’t. It sounds like a weird hobby from what you said.” Yang Ming felt a chill running through him.

“There’s no need to pretend!” Zhang Bing found a pair of slippers for Yang Ming. “I came across a few car models. You should help me take a look.”

“You don’t need to be in a hurry!” Even though Yang Ming said so, he understood deep down in his heart that Zhang Bing’s behavior was normal.

“Of course!” Zhang Bing brought Yang Ming to his computer and pointed at the car on the screen. “Look, Beijing Hyundai Elantra, Mazda 6, Volkswagen Polo…”

“Damn, I don’t really understand. If you want me to take a look, I can only observe their appearance. In regard to their performance, you should ask around in a forum!” Yang Ming said as he looked at the car models that Zhang Bing pointed out.

“That’s true. Let’s go to the driving school first.” Zhang Bing said.

“Going to the driving school is fine. You have a car in the house. There’s nothing you need to be afraid of. At that time, you could ask your dad’s driver to teach you for a few days. Then, you are good to go.” Yang Ming simply threw out his opinion.

“I looked into it on the internet. The internet highlighted that Flying Fish Driving School has a great word of mouth. Also, it isn’t far away. Let’s pay a visit in the afternoon?” Zhang Bing suggested.

“Okay, that’s the plan!” Zhang Bing nodded. “Let’s go out for lunch?”

“Nah, food delivery will be better. The weather is hot. We can go and grab some food in the afternoon when the weather is cooler.” Yang Ming had suffered through it just now as he left his home. He was in fact quite sweaty.

“Alright, how about the restaurant from last time?” Zhang Bing asked.

“Anything is alright.” Yang Ming wasn’t picky.

“Then, you play with my computer first. I will now order some food. In the meanwhile, I will ask if my father’s driver is free and request a ride for later in the afternoon.” Zhang Bing said.

Zhang Bing turned around and went into the living room. Yang Ming was messing with Zhang Bing’s computer out of boredom. He closed all the web pages. Later, Yang Ming realized Zhang Bing’s QQ was still logged on. Hence, curiosity drove him to find Zhang Bing’s online friend.

The Charming Baby from yesterday was still online. Yang Ming simply clicked on her QQ profile. Her profile had a fantastic design. Yang Ming looked into her diary which was filled with articles written in a little girl’s tone. Yang Ming wasn’t quite fond of it. Hence, he clicked into the gallery.

When he saw a recently posted photo, he was sure this person was Zhou Jiajia.

It was undeniable that Zhou Jiajia was a pretty girl. The photos in the gallery were strangely pure. It was difficult to compare it with the lewd video yesterday.

Yang Ming was quite interested to look at a few of her albums. It included daily photos and idol-like photos. No matter which category it belonged to, it was quite seductive.

What Yang Ming didn’t understand was why a girl like this would be involved with such videos. She could find any man in real life. With her charms, he would undoubtedly succumb to her.

However, this wasn’t related to Yang Ming at all. A detestable woman like her could do what she wished even if it was prostitution. Yang Ming wouldn’t care.

As Yang Ming closed the gallery, he clicked on the chat record with Charming Baby. He was curious how Zhang Bing hit on her.

It was clear Zhang Bing knew her through an alumni website. Zhang Bing also graduated from Red Flag Junior High School. However, he wasn’t in the same class as Yang Ming. Hence, when he noticed that Zhou Jiajia was quite beautiful, he added her to his friend list.

At the start, “Charming Baby” didn’t care much about Zhang Bing. After she learned that  Zhang Bing was from Red Flag Junior High School, Zhou Jiajia started to act warmer toward Zhang Bing.

For the first few days, both of them talked about common topics. For example,  the teachers of Red Flag Junior High School, the snacks in front of the school gate, and a discipline teacher who was hated the most…

Later, Zhou Jiajia asked Zhang Bing which class was he from. Zhang Bing actually told her he was from the fourth class! The fourth class was Yang Ming’s class and coincidentally Zhou Jiajia’s as well. Yang Ming secretly scolded, Wouldn’t such a lie be easily exposed?

Certainly, Zhou Jiajia immediately asked Zhang Bing his real name later. Yang Ming found it amusing, and he scrolled down through the chat record. When he saw how Zhang Bing replied, he couldn’t help but open his eyes widely!

Yang Ming with an unusual expression stared at the chat record on the screen. He smacked his thigh and scolded, “Zhang Bing! F*** you!”
