Chapter 625: Girl of a Summer Night

The deeper we went, the darker it got, and Yang Yin unconsciously clutched Lu Cheng's arm.

When we could no longer see anyone, Lu Cheng finally wrapped his arms around that slender waist, about to kiss, but Yang Yin pulled back and dodged.

Mmm~ you ate garlic!

Lu Cheng instantly slapped his forehead, having forgotten this because he ate cold noodles with garlic cloves at night.

Seeing Lu Cheng's annoyed expression, Yang Yin instead smiled, rose onto tiptoe and kissed Lu Cheng's cheek.

There was a long stone bench nearby; after Lu Cheng sat down, Yang Yin leaned onto his knee.

Lu Cheng stroked that soft back and said, "Xiao Yang classmate…"

"Hm?"

"Summer vacation's here; any plans?"

"No particular plans; if you go to work, I can only stay at home thinking of you every day."

"You can't be like that; how can you have no ambition at all! Even during summer vacation, you should make good use of this time to study…"

Yang Yin sprang up, knelt on the long stone bench, pinched the sides of Lu Cheng's cheeks, and said breathlessly.

"I think you don't have any ambition? Does it count? Does it count?"

Lu Cheng supported the girl's waist and lifted her onto his lap.

"It counts, it counts…"

"Hmph, I now see that you've become a leader and started acting high‑hand, seeing us ordinary folk and instantly wanting to lecture us. If you become a bureau chief in the future, you'll have to teach me every day!"

Lu Cheng tightened his hold on Yang Yin's waist until they were pressed together, his chest warm.

"What! When I make you the bureau chief's wife, still not satisfied?"

"Tsk, who wants to be your wife!" Yang Yin said that, but her body still buried against Lu Cheng's chest.

Above, the sky was full of stars, a cool summer night breeze blew, and in his arms was the girl's warm, soft body; Lu Cheng savored the moment.

"Xiao Yang, you said your brother works as a capitalist abroad; didn't your family get affected back then?"

Yang Yin's whole head was buried in that broad chest, then she lifted it suddenly.

"Hm? Why are you bringing up my brother? That wind won't blow back again, will it? Are you trying to draw a line with me!"

Seeing Yang Yin's serious little expression, Lu Cheng couldn't help but laugh and ruffled her hair.

"What are you thinking! How could I ever draw a line with you! Even if that wind blows back, if you, the capitalist's sister, get sent to a cattle pen, I'll go farm with you."

Lu Cheng said, pulling Yang Yin into his arms again: "Otherwise, your little body would starve; with me here, at least your three meals a day are guaranteed, and no one would dare bully you."

Yang Yin listened and laughed; she thought this was the most beautiful love line in the world.

"That counts as you having a conscience, not abandoning me."

Yang Yin leaned back into Lu Cheng's chest and began talking about the past.

"Back then we definitely were affected a bit; my father's professorship couldn't proceed normally…"

"But my brother voluntarily cut off contact with the family, and my father had uncles from the Engineering Institute who protected him, so the impact didn't expand."

Lu Cheng listened attentively, feeling grateful; Yang Yin was lucky, otherwise there wouldn't be this naive, carefree girl now.

Suddenly recalling Lin Qingyan's misfortune, Lu Cheng quickly shook his head.

He had already begun a new relationship, and from now on he would protect this girl, keeping her forever naive and carefree.

"How's your brother doing in business abroad?"

Probably still wary of that wind's effect, Yang Yin rarely mentions her brother, only knows he's doing business over in the US.

Sure enough, when Lu Cheng asked, Yang Yin lifted her head again, this time staring at him for a long while.

"Why are you always asking about my brother today?"

Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Why not ask? When you become my wife, I should get to know my big brother‑in‑law better."

Hearing the term big brother‑in‑law, Yang Yin's face flushed instantly.

"We aren't married yet; don't call me that."

Lu Cheng smiled: "Alright, here's the thing, I want to ask your brother for a favor."

"Ask my brother for a favor? What could he do for you…"

Lu Cheng mentioned the Induction Cooker issue, hoping Yang Yin's brother could find a channel.

After hearing, Yang Yin immediately got motivated.

"Oh, I see. Asking on your behalf isn't impossible, but it can't be for free…"

Before Yang Yin finished, Lu Cheng leaned to kiss.

Yang Yin had been straddling his legs, but now, to avoid the garlic smell from Lu Cheng's mouth, she leaned back so far she almost touched the ground.

"I didn't ask you to kiss me; I don't want that… I'll help you, just write a letter to my brother tonight."

Lu Cheng then pulled her up, teasing, "If your brother asks who I am, what will you answer?"

Yang Yin thought for a moment: "Hm? I'd say you're a big rogue."

"That's it, your brother would definitely refuse to let you marry me."

"Don't worry, I'll write a lot about how great you are, praising you to the max; then tomorrow you have to accompany me to the Postal and Telecommunications Bureau."

Whenever Lu Cheng was rare in the Capital City, Yang Yin always wanted to be with him every moment.

Today it was already too late; after leaving the park, Lu Cheng escorted Yang Yin to her doorstep.

They agreed that tomorrow morning he'd pick up Yang Yin and then go to the Postal and Telecommunications Bureau to send a letter.

Mentioning the Postal and Telecommunications Bureau, Lu Cheng recalled something: the Monkey Ticket that was just issued this year and has since surged in value several times.

Although he plans a civil service career this life, he wouldn't miss a chance to sit and earn money.

That night, back home, Lu Cheng took out all his money and counted; it was less than five hundred yuan.

Even though his salary was high, he spent too extravagantly.

To be able to buy a few more stamps, Lu Cheng unconsciously turned his thoughts toward his sister.

"Sister, are you asleep?" Lu Cheng stood at Xi Er Fang and knocked on the door.

Soon Lu Ying's voice came out: "What! It's the middle of the night, don't bother me."

"Open the door, I have something urgent to tell you, really. Quickly open the door."

Lu Ying hadn't gone to sleep yet; she was studying English in the room. When she opened a crack in the door, Lu Cheng squeezed right in.

"Oh dear, aren't you a bother? Get to the point quickly, don't disturb my English study."

Lu Cheng picked up the notebook on the desk; and I must say, the English words were written neatly.

At the same time, Lu Cheng was thinking about how to ask his sister for money, and blurted out that he wanted to buy many Monkey Tickets; his sister would surely refuse.

After all, his sister doesn't know the future's direction; if she heard he needed money to buy Monkey Tickets, she would inevitably beat him up.

"Speak up, what's the matter? Let me tell you, you'd better have something urgent, otherwise I'll beat the crap out of you!"

Listening to his sister's words, Lu Cheng scratched his head; getting the money today was indeed hard.

"Sister, I'm planning to go abroad for a trip."
