Chapter 121: Inside and Outside the Gate

"You don't seem very happy to see your girlfriend coming."

Zhao Qingxun asked curiously, seeing that the expression on Yang Tianxing's face was not quite right.

Yang Tianxing did not speak, only staring at the computer monitor; Zhao Qingxun followed his gaze and suddenly said, "The girl in the school uniform behind is also very pretty."

As she spoke, she adjusted the angle of the entrance surveillance camera, and the screen displayed the appearance of Liu Jiaoyue.

Looking lost and at a loss, holding He Yulin's fingers, she stood at the entrance of the electronics factory with some fear.

"Is she also here to see you?"

Zhao Qingxun was very clever, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to manipulate this electronics factory of over 1,000 people in the palm of her hand, and she guessed the true situation at once.

"Mm."

Yang Tianxing replied in a low voice.

"Also a girlfriend?"

Zhao Qingxun asked.

Yang Tianxing stopped speaking.

Not speaking was actually a form of admission; if it weren't true, he would have directly refuted it.

"I couldn't tell, you're actually a scumbag."

Zhao Qingxun smiled: "To be a scumbag when your girlfriend is so pretty, and yet another one is also so pretty, and even though they are isolated, both girls still come to see you—actually, you are the immortal one."

Yang Tianxing ignored the teasing; on the monitor, Tan Zhizhi was currently going to the security room to request entry.

Zhao Qingxun was entirely in a mood to watch the show, reclining comfortably in her leather chair, her small high-heeled shoe tips swaying left and right, then curling inward, occasionally picking up her coffee to take a sip.

However, the security room did not agree to the request for entry, probably feeling that since Tan Zhizhi was neither an employee of the factory nor a government official, it was truly inappropriate to enter during such a chaotic time.

Yang Tianxing looked at Zhao Qingxun, and Zhao Qingxun understood, but she suddenly smiled: "I can help you let someone in, but only one."

"Why?"

Yang Tianxing frowned.

"I want to see who you, this scumbag, will choose."

Zhao Qingxun's expression changed, and she picked up the phone to urge him: "Hurry up, you can only choose one now."

Yang Tianxing looked at Tan Zhizhi and Liu Jiaoyue on the monitor, hesitating.

"Speak quickly, choose one of two."

Zhao Qingxun's eyes were full of playfulness, but her tone was very serious.

Yang Tianxing hadn't made up his mind for a moment.

"How about this."

Zhao Qingxun said: "Seeing you are so conflicted, I'll help you choose. That girl gave me directions, so I'll let her into the factory."

After Zhao Qingxun finished speaking, she made a phone call; the security guard received the notice and immediately let her in, conversely blocking Liu Jiaoyue and He Yulin who were behind.

…………

On the monitor, He Yulin seemed very angry, rushing up to argue with the security guard.

However, the security guard had received instructions from above and coldly closed the main gate; Liu Jiaoyue tugged on He Yulin's sleeve and pointed to the stone edge of the flower bed not far away.

He Yulin was still arguing, so Liu Jiaoyue silently went to the stone edge and chose a spot near the inside that wouldn't attract attention to sit down.

She placed the cloth bag in her hands on her knees, staring blankly and foolishly at the electronics factory gate with a pair of red, swollen peach-blossom eyes.

"This girlfriend of yours is truly pitiful, and the key is that she's so pretty."

Zhao Qingxun shook her head and said.

Yang Tianxing had no time to answer; he hung up Gao Meilan's call and immediately answered Xiao Zhi's.

"Little Yang, I've arrived, where are you?"

Tan Zhizhi said chokingly on the phone; although they had entered the main gate, the factory was also in chaos, and she could only helplessly call Yang Tianxing.

Yang Tianxing suddenly felt very uncomfortable; Xiao Zhi was actually very fragile, and she had never suffered any hardship.

Yet she happened to encounter a rascal like Yang Tianxing who was unwilling to confess; a relationship that could have blossomed smoothly had been delayed, and now that she encountered Yang Tianxing being isolated, it seemed as sad as a life-and-death separation in her heart.

"You, you first..."

Yang Tianxing just wanted to speak, but suddenly discovered his throat was a bit hoarse.

Zhao Qingxun looked over, took a pack of tissues, and gestured to ask if he needed them.

Yang Tianxing waved his hand, cleared his throat, and said: "You find a place to sit down first; after your parents arrive, you go back with them."

"I can't see you, I don't want to go back..."

Tan Zhizhi's emotions seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

At this time, classmates from Public Management Class 2, roommates, friends from the student union, and part-time university students had all arrived; they stood at the entrance, standing on tiptoe and looking around.

"Are they all looking for you?"

Zhao Qingxun asked.

Yang Tianxing nodded.

"Do you need to let them in?"

Yang Tianxing shook his head and said: "Adding to the chaos."

Zhao Qingxun looked at Yang Tianxing with surprise; she didn't expect him to be so calm at a time like this.

These people were messy, and the factory was also very chaotic right now; if they entered, it would only add chaos to chaos, and perhaps other accidents would occur. It was better to block them outside the gate; after a long time, they would automatically go back.

Before long, Zhang Liye and Wang Shuzhu also arrived; they were adults and knew that at this time they could only listen to the doctors, and simply waiting at the entrance didn't have much meaning.

Wang Shuzhu even persuaded the university students to let them return to school first, but no one listened.

It wasn't until the Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the counselor Xie Yu'an arrived that these two people's words were very effective; before long, the crowd dispersed. Of course, Yang Tianxing's phone hadn't stopped ringing—parents, teachers, classmates...

During this period, Shao Ziyang also came over; he didn't even have time to take the bus, and after getting off the taxi, he headed straight for the entrance.

"Can you let him in?" Yang Tianxing asked.

Zhao Qingxun nodded and agreed.

After Shao Ziyang was let through, he walked over to reunite with Tan Zhizhi; he didn't even see Liu Jiaoyue.

During this time, many people came and went, and when night fell, only a few people remained at the entrance.

Inside the gate were Tan Zhizhi and Shao Ziyang, and outside the gate were He Yulin and Liu Jiaoyue; everyone else had gone back.

The night temperature dropped; under the tree shadows by the flower bed, Liu Jiaoyue took out a down jacket to put on, hugged her legs, rested her gentle face against a small cloth bag, and watched and waited quietly.

At this moment, a vehicle with a Qin G license plate drove over; this was a local license plate from Jinzhou. Yang Jianjun and his wife, as well as Tan Qingwu and his wife, had all arrived.

Seeing her relatives, Little Zhizhi couldn't help but cry again. Ye Yulan felt heartache for her daughter and suggested finding a hotel nearby to stay in; Yang Jianjun also agreed with this approach.

Gao Meilan was wiping away tears while talking on the phone with Yang Tianxing.

"Mom, Liu Jiaoyue is here too."

Gao Meilan looked around: "I don't see her."

"Outside the gate."

Gao Meilan suddenly wanted very much to go and see, but Tan Qingwu and Ye Yulan were right there, and Tan Zhizhi was already crying to the point of exhaustion; in this situation, she couldn't get away at all.

"You let Shao Ziyang go," Yang Tianxing said.

Gao Meilan had no choice but to angrily scold: "If you died, it would at least save me the worry."

After Shao Ziyang went out, he found Liu Jiaoyue, but he couldn't persuade her to leave either, so he could only borrow a mobile phone to call Yang Tianxing.

"My parents have both come, will you go back first, okay?" Yang Tianxing urged.

"I, I don't want to leave."

Liu Jiaoyue replied in a low voice; her current demeanor was even stronger than Tan Zhizhi's, and she hadn't shed a single tear.

"Can't you just listen for once!"

Yang Tianxing was feeling irritable now, causing even Zhao Qingxun to look over in this direction.

"Don't drive me away."

Liu Jiaoyue's voice finally carried a sobbing tone: "I beg you, I'll just wait outside, I won't get in anyone's way, I'll go back once you come out."

Yang Tianxing sighed: "Even if I were to come out, it couldn't be tonight. You go back first and come over again tomorrow morning, okay?"

He Yulin and Shao Ziyang were also persuading her from the side. Just as Liu Jiaoyue was hesitating, a voice suddenly said from behind: "Let's all go back first, you've been sitting for a long time too."

As soon as Shao Ziyang turned his head, his legs immediately went weak and started to shake.

Tan Zhizhi had arrived at the flower bed at some point; under the moonlight, the lonely lunar light spilled onto the two stunningly beautiful young women. They sized each other up for a moment, and Liu Jiaoyue was the first to silently lower her head.

"Your down jacket is really pretty, and you are very pretty too."

Tan Zhizhi said softly.

Liu Jiaoyue didn't know how to answer; she didn't even know Tan Zhizhi.

He Yulin sensed that the atmosphere was wrong and immediately pulled Liu Jiaoyue to stand up: "Let's go back. Yang Tianxing has so many people keeping him company, he doesn't need you."

"Little Yang..., the two of them have met."

Shao Ziyang's voice was trembling.

"Mm, I saw it."

Yang Tianxing said calmly.

"Why did Little Zhizhi come here?"

Shao Ziyang didn't understand; he had come over quietly.

Yang Tianxing remained very calm: "I don't know either."

"I know."

Zhao Qingxun suddenly spoke. She adjusted the surveillance video to the moment He Yulin was about to enter the gate, and then turned on the computer speakers.

Only then did Yang Tianxing realize that this surveillance could record sound.

……………

"What right do you have to stop us?"

In the video, He Yulin pointed at Liu Jiaoyue and said angrily to the security guard: "Do you know she is Yang Tianxing's girlfriend?"

After this sentence was spoken, Tan Zhizhi, who was in front, clearly looked back.

At that time, Yang Tianxing was on the phone and hadn't noticed this detail at all.

Now he finally understood.

So it turned out that from that moment on, Tan Zhizhi inside the gate had been paying attention to Liu Jiaoyue outside the gate.
