Chapter 274 A surge of tenderness
"Yan, are you barbecuing again? I smell your 'masterpiece'." Meng Yanchen said jokingly and called Song Yan.
Song Yan's laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Haha, you smelled it. Come up quickly, I grilled something on the balcony, just in time for us to eat together."
Meng Yanchen walked into the elevator, feeling a little nervous. He knew Song Yan's cooking skills. Although he had good intentions, he always made a mess. However, thinking of Song Yan's enthusiasm, he decided to go and have a look.
When they arrived at Song Yan's apartment and opened the door, a strong smell of smoke hit them in the face and Meng Yanchen couldn't help coughing.
"Oh my god, Yan, what are you doing?" He couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him.
Song Yan scratched his head awkwardly: "Don't mind, don't mind, I just wanted to try out the new grill I bought, but I accidentally... Hey, come in, have a drink to calm your nerves."
Meng Yanchen walked into the living room and saw the balcony filled with skewers and various seasonings, as well as some food that was obviously burnt. He smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"You are always so unreliable." Meng Yanchen said, but he felt a little warm in his heart. His friend's enthusiasm made him feel very cordial.
"Stop talking, have a drink to calm your nerves." Song Yan took out two bottles of beer and handed them to Meng Yanchen.
They sat on the balcony, opened a bottle of beer, and clinked glasses. The night breeze blew away some of the smoke, and the air gradually became fresher. Meng Yanchen took a sip of beer and felt a little cool and relaxed.
"Seriously, Yanchen, how are you doing recently? Are your studies going well?" Song Yan asked with concern.
"Not bad. Although there is a lot of pressure, I feel very fulfilled." Meng Yanchen replied with a smile.
"That's good. In fact, I have always admired you. It's not easy to work so hard in the workplace and go back to school for further studies." Song Yan sighed. Sometimes I also feel that I am a little bit tossed, but if I don't try, I always feel sorry for myself. "Meng Yanchen took a sip of beer and said with emotion.
"Yes, being worthy of yourself is the most important thing. In fact, I have also been considering whether I should go for further studies. I always feel that although my current job is stable, it lacks some challenges." Song Yan said, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
"Then go ahead, don't hesitate. I believe that people need to constantly learn and challenge themselves in order to find real fun and satisfaction," Meng Yanchen encouraged.
"Well, you're right, I will seriously consider it." Song Yan nodded with a determined expression on his face.
They talked about a lot of things, from study to work, from interesting things in the past to future plans. Meng Yanchen felt happy, and the time spent with friends always made people feel relaxed and comfortable.
“By the way, Yanchen, have you contacted Xu Qin again?
"Yes, we chatted a few days ago. We have a good relationship now. Although we are no longer lovers, we can still be friends, which makes me feel very precious." Meng Yanchen replied with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. Xu Qin is a good girl, I hope you can both find your own happiness. "Song Yan said sincerely.
As the night deepened, a hint of coolness filled the air. Meng Yanchen stood up, stretched, and felt comfortable. He knew that the road ahead would still be full of challenges, but with the support and company of his friends, he believed that he could go further.
"Okay, Yan, thank you for your hospitality today. I should go back now as I have classes tomorrow." Meng Yanchen said with a smile.
"Okay, then you should go to bed early and we'll get together again when you have time." Song Yan patted his shoulder and walked him to the door.
Meng Yanchen called Xu Qin, "Xu Qin, are you free this afternoon? I know a good hamburger restaurant and I'd like to invite you to try it."
Xu Qin smiled and agreed on the other end of the phone, "Okay, Mr. Meng. I just happen to want to change my taste, and hamburgers sound great."
They agreed to meet at a well-known hamburger restaurant in the city center. Meng Yanchen arrived early and found a seat by the window, looking forward to it. He knew Xu Qin liked to try new things, and this hamburger restaurant was famous for its unique taste and creative burgers, which should surprise Xu Qin.
Not long after, Xu Qin pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Meng Yanchen, he smiled and walked over to him and sat down. "Mr. Meng, this store looks great."
"Yes, I've heard it recommended by my friends several times, and I've always wanted to bring you here to try it." Meng Yanchen responded with a smile and handed Xu Qin the menu.
Xu Qin took the menu and flipped through it carefully, with curiosity and anticipation in her eyes. "These burgers all look delicious, I don't know which one to choose."
"I feel the same way." Meng Yanchen said with a smile, "How about we each choose one and share it with each other?"
Xu Qin nodded in agreement, and they ordered two burgers each, as well as some snacks and drinks. After ordering, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin talked about their recent life and work.
"Mr. Meng, is your scalp problem better?" Xu Qin asked with concern, worry flashing in her eyes.
"Much better. The doctor said it was caused by excessive stress and seasonal allergies. Now I have adjusted my sleep schedule and feel much better. I feel a warm feeling in my heart.
"That's good, Mr. Meng, you should take care to rest and don't work too hard." Xu Qin said softly, her eyes full of sincere concern. "Xu Qin. I will pay attention." Meng Yanchen responded gratefully, a warm current surged in his heart.
Soon, burgers and snacks were served. Xu Qin looked at the food in front of her, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "These look so tempting, Mr. Meng, let's eat."
They began to taste burgers and snacks. Xu Qin took a bite of the burger, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. "This burger is really delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the taste is very special."
Meng Yanchen looked at Xu Qin's satisfied expression and felt extremely happy. "Yes, the burgers here are really special. I like them too."
They enjoyed the food and chatted. Xu Qin shared her recent life stories, and Meng Yanchen listened quietly, his heart filled with warmth and joy. He knew that Xu Qin's smile was his greatest motivation and source of happiness.
"Mr. Meng, actually I've always wanted to ask you, why are you so nice to me?" Xu Qin suddenly asked, with curiosity and gratitude flashing in her eyes.
Meng Yanchen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xu Qin, because I hope you can be happy. I know you have been through a lot, but I hope to make you feel warm and cared for in my own way."
Xu Qin's eyes flashed with emotion. She gently held Meng Yanchen's hand and said softly, "Thank you, President Meng. Your care and company are very important to me."
Meng Yanchen felt Xu Qin's warmth, and a wave of tenderness surged in his heart. He knew that Xu Qin's happiness and happiness were his greatest wish, and he was willing to give everything for her.
