Chapter 429 Water

The next morning, after eating the clear soup noodles and two side dishes carefully prepared by Xiao Yangzhi, Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin went to Jiangda together.

"Here, here are the car keys."

Tao Shuxin knew that Xu Mingyuan would not be able to come to school today. He had to go to the company and play with Xiao Yangzhi for the whole day. Before he got out of the car, she threw the keys to him.

"Drive to the parking lot. I'm going to run to the company today." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Really? You're just bragging. Don't you know where the company is? Can you run there in an hour?"

Tao Shuxin looked at Xu Mingyuan with surprise and distrust, and subconsciously uttered swear words.

"Why am I bragging? I'm serious."

Xu Mingyuan threw the car keys to the girl in annoyance because she didn't trust him.

"Don't lie to me, okay?"

Tao Shuxin still chose not to believe it. Instead, she looked at Xu Mingyuan with a strange expression, acting as if she didn't know him.

"Why would I lie to you? Don't you believe me? I always keep my word."

Although it was just a whim, Xu Mingyuan was still very perseverant, just like when he was in his senior year of high school, he forced himself to memorize the books.

"Really?"

Tao Shuxin narrowed her big eyes, and the look of suspicion in her eyes became more intense.

"Really, unless I have something else to do, I will make time to exercise every day, starting from today."

Seeing that Tao Shuxin still didn't believe it, Xu Mingyuan could only shake his head helplessly and made up his mind.

"You're crazy. Don't you have an exercise bike at home? I've never seen you pedaling it. Why are you running in such hot weather? There's a big hole on the top of your head..."

Usually, Tao Shuxin was always scolded by Xu Mingyuan, but today, she could finally return his words to him exactly as they were said. She felt as sour as if she had eaten a plum.

"Yeah, why bother with this in such hot weather? Let's go home and deal with it later..."

Xu Mingyuan opened the car window to test the temperature. Although the weather was not that hot in mid-September, there was still some summer heat.

But it’s okay. Some students are wearing thin coats early in the morning, so it’s barely acceptable.

"Look, you're pretending to be so convincing. I figured it out, didn't I? Humph, I almost got fooled by you."

Tao Shuxin shook her head and rolled her eyes.

"How am I pretending? Hey! I have to run today. I tell you, don't try to dampen my enthusiasm." Xu Mingyuan said unhappily.

"Tsk, then why didn't you get off the car at the school gate? I think you just made up an excuse not to come pick me up..."

Tao Shuxin complained as he took back the car keys and prepared to drive to the parking lot.

"Aren't I going to accompany you for a while? Don't worry, I will run over to pick you up this afternoon." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Xiaoyuan is really capable. Why don't you just get off the car? Why do you have to accompany me for such a long distance? I'll make you run a little longer."

Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes speechlessly at Xu Mingyuan's impulsive behavior.

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

Xu Mingyuan did not hesitate. The way he and Tao Shuxin interacted was no longer as polite as it was at the beginning.

"Hey, hey, are you going to take your bag?"

Seeing Xu Mingyuan get off the car and leave, Tao Shuxin stuck her head out and reminded him.

"Damn, why is there a weight?" Xu Mingyuan said.

"Hehehe, don't get tired." Tao Shuxin said with a smile.

"understood."

Xu Mingyuan waved his hand and left with his bag.

Tao Shuxin watched for a while and was surprised to see that Xu Mingyuan really seemed to be running to the company.

Ugh……

It seems that I also need to exercise. I have such good conditions at home, but I don’t even think about exercising.

Are you still thinking about losing weight? If I had half of Xu Mingyuan's perseverance, I would definitely have a pair of slender and beautiful long legs...

In fact, Xu Mingyuan regretted his decision halfway through the run. When the sun was not out in Jiangcheng in the morning, there was a slight cool breeze blowing, and he felt quite comfortable.

But when the sun comes out, the temperature rises instantly. Xu Mingyuan usually drives when he goes out, so he never thinks about this.

Moreover, Xu Mingyuan had a good plan from the beginning. He sent the girl to the morning class and then spent an hour running to the company, just in time to catch the management's morning meeting.

I went home at noon to have lunch with Xiao Yangzhi, rested until the afternoon, and then went to pick up the girl home. After dinner, I went to the attic to consolidate the training and wait to go out and play together tomorrow.

Although Xu Mingyuan's plan was very good, it was a bit torturous when it came to practical application.

I usually make plans for my employees, but when it comes to myself, I realize how difficult it is.

Once you run out of Jiangcheng University, you will reach the Outer Ring Road. The surrounding environment is very remote. You can’t even find a store to drink some water, let alone take a taxi.

Plans made on a whim are never as perfect as those that are carefully considered.

But people always have to push themselves. In fact, Xu Mingyuan doesn't have much willpower, but he will rush forward when he is supported.

Fortunately, Jiangbei New District is located in the outer north ring, not far from the Beihai campus, otherwise Xu Mingyuan would definitely give up halfway and would not have persisted to the end.

Su Muqing was driving towards Star Sky Technology when she saw a fool running with his head down in the scorching sun on the road.

But there are all kinds of people in this world, so Su Muqing didn't care and just glanced at them and passed them by.

!! ?
Su Muqing was stunned for a moment, feeling that this figure seemed to be Xu Mingyuan?
After carefully looking at the rearview mirror, Su Muqing finally confirmed what happened, and quickly slowed down the car and pulled over.

It was the first time that Su Muqing saw Xu Mingyuan so miserable. Not only did the sweat tie his hair into a tangled knot, but even his beige short sleeves were soaked with sweat, sticking tightly to his body, leaving a V-neck.

Su Muqing leaned against the side of the car with a very amused look on her face, and just watched Xu Mingyuan running towards her quietly.

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was almost running to the front of the car and had no intention of looking up, Su Muqing had to take the initiative to say hello.

"Boss, what are you doing? Exercising?"

Su Muqing smiled and waved her hand to stop him.

"Oh, shit... You, hey, Senior Sister Su, you're right, it's just exercise."

Xu Mingyuan rested his elbows on the trunk of the red BMW and stuttered out a complete sentence. During this journey, Xu Mingyuan had thought countless times that someone would stop the car to pick him up, but this wish was very slim. It was just a little thought in his heart, giving himself a little motivation to move forward.

But I didn't expect that someone would actually stop the car, and it was Su Muqing, who was dressed as a white-collar worker in the workplace.

"Haha, are you really exercising? I thought you were robbed."

Su Muqing made a joke with a helpless look. She was becoming more and more confused about Xu Mingyuan. He was so mature when they were chatting yesterday, but in the blink of an eye he behaved so childishly.

Running outdoors?
He's holding a coat and a shoulder bag in his hands. It doesn't look like he has done his homework in advance, does it?

"Senior Su, if you are not going to the central campus to handle business, what are you doing in the company?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you would come to the company today? I came to see if you could hold a small meeting so I could learn a little bit."

In response to his behavior of exploiting her, Su Muqing just responded with a smile.

"What time is it? Why don't you come earlier or later? You should come on time, right?"

Xu Mingyuan glanced at his watch and said unhappily.

If Su Muqing had come earlier, she might have taken me away halfway.

He was almost at the company and was about to see the results of his persistence, but then he was interrupted by Su Muqing.

"How can you be called a scout if you arrive earlier than the boss? Then I won't bother you. Just run ahead. You'll be there in less than ten minutes."

Su Muqing probably guessed what Xu Mingyuan was thinking, and left the car with amusement, preparing to drive away.

Just as he had guessed, as soon as he opened the car door, Xu Mingyuan took the lead and opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Hey, turn down the air conditioner. I'm about to pass out from the heat."

Xu Mingyuan is not a stubborn person like Tao Shuxin. He can see the industrial park in Jiangbei New District from afar, so there is no need to run for another ten minutes.

"Where did you come from? Both your home and school are very far away, right?"

Su Muqing smiled and lowered the temperature, then leaned over to get the small suit jacket from the back row and put it on.

"Yeah, I ran from school. Hey, Senior Sister Su, why did you change your clothes today?"

Su Muqing was wearing a white shirt. When she leaned forward, the buttons on her chest seemed to be about to burst into his face. Xu Mingyuan leaned towards the door.

"How can an old man like me pretend to be young?" Su Muqing chuckled, put on her coat, looked in the rearview mirror, and tucked her fallen hair back onto her ears. She said, "How about this little suit? Doesn't it look good?"

"Well, he looks like he's selling insurance." Xu Mingyuan said after taking a look.

Su Muqing herself has a confident and arrogant attitude. To say that she is an insurance salesperson would lower her temperament. She feels more like a one-on-one account manager in a private customization store.

"Haha, can't I just listen to a nice word from you?"

Su Muqing shook her head helplessly.

"How is this not a good thing to say? Insurance practitioners all have a temperament that is good at gaining the trust of others. You are such a person and can take on big responsibilities." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Hehehe...Mingyuan, if you want me to work for free, just tell me directly. Why are you beating around the bush?" Su Muqing said with a smile.

"Forget it, stop talking nonsense and go to the company first."

"Wait a moment. You're resting right after running. You must be sweating. Here's the tissue. Here you go."

Su Muqing was not in a hurry to leave and threw the tissue on the console over.

"Where should I throw the paper?" Xu Mingyuan asked while wiping his face.

"I'll just throw it at your feet. Look at how sweaty you are. You even made my car stink. Remember to pay for the cleaning fee."

Su Muqing crossed her hands between her legs, leaning back in the chair comfortably, showing off her proud breasts.

Although Su Muqing and Xiao Taotao are about the same size, her temperament is there, making her seem as if she is a size older.

However, Xu Mingyuan, who was extremely tired, had no mood to see her. He just opened his bag, took out two bills from his wallet and threw them on the center console.

"Thank you, boss. I didn't work in vain today. It's equivalent to a week's salary for me." Su Muqing put the money in her pocket. When she saw the sky blue wallet in Xu Mingyuan's hand, she asked with a little surprise: "Oh? Where is this girly wallet? Did Taotao buy it for you?"

"Ah."

"Let me have a look."

"I won't show you."

"I just wanted to see the photo of the two of you."

Knowing that Xu Mingyuan didn't care about small details, Su Muqing reached out and snatched it away when he wasn't paying attention.

"Don't rummage around."

Xu Mingyuan was too lazy to snatch it from her, but the wallet not only contained photos, but also a little love letter written by Xiao Yangzhi hidden in the interlayer, which would definitely not be good for others to see.

Of course Su Muqing was very tactful and didn't even pull out the photo. She just asked, "When was this taken? Did you just start college?"

"I hadn't entered college yet. The photo was taken when I graduated from high school," said Xu Mingyuan.

"It's really enviable that you can extend the naive love in high school to college. Xu Mingyuan, you are so smart, it must be you who coaxed Taotao, right?" Su Muqing asked with a smile.

"What do you mean by coaxing? That's called mutual attraction. Do you have any water? Get me a bottle."

After resting for a while, there was no longer any risk of his lung exploding. Xu Mingyuan, who was extremely thirsty, quickly reached out for water.

"Where do I get water?" Su Muqing said.

"Don't you have a car? How could you not have water in the trunk? What is this?" Xu Mingyuan asked, pointing at the mineral water bottle on the center console.

"I'm a girl. I usually buy U.S. coffee. Today I left home early and didn't have time to buy it, so I had to buy mineral water." Su Muqing helplessly picked up the bottle of mineral water on the center console and threw it over, then said, "Drink if you want. I don't dislike you."

"I dislike you." Xu Mingyuan said unhappily.

"Then just bear with it for a while. I'll drive to the company, park the car, and walk to the administrative building. It'll only take about ten minutes." Su Muqing said nonchalantly.

"Then drive quickly."

Xu Mingyuan directly unscrewed the bottle cap, but did not touch the bottle mouth, just poured water into his mouth.

So hypocritical...

When Su Muqing saw this scene, she stepped on the accelerator without hesitation.
