King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Chapter 229 Ning Caicai's Journey

A few more days passed uneventfully, and soon it was the 23rd.

Ye Lan lives in Jianghua County, which is just a small county town without an airport. She has to drive to Jiangcheng to take off.

Perhaps because of her excitement, Ye Lan got up very early that day, and even the cold winter weather couldn't keep her confined to the bed.

With a burst of energy, he threw off the covers and quickly dressed, relying on his righteous spirit.

Ye Wanying seemed oblivious to the cold, getting up early and even taking her English book to the corridor for morning reading and memorizing vocabulary.

"Holy crap, are you on some kind of super stimulant? You got up at eight o'clock?"

Ye Lan trembled as she tried to turn the bathroom doorknob, but because it was metal and too cold, she pulled her hand back and then wrapped it in her sleeve before she could open it.

"Is it strange to get up at this time? School starts its morning reading session at six o'clock."

Ye Lan rolled her eyes; the end of December had already brought deep winter.

It was still dark at six in the morning.

Students should get up early to study.

"So school is really not a place for humans, which is why I don't like school."

Ye Lan went into the bathroom, went to the sink, and turned the water temperature to warm before washing up.

With a toothbrush in his mouth, he stammered to Ye Wanying:

"Sis, turn off everything in the house that needs to be turned off, like the gas, the refrigerator, the kettle, and the like."

"Oh well."

Ye Wanying put down her book and obediently did as she was told, her bright eyes scanning every corner of the house as she turned off all the electrical appliances.

Just in case, the main power switch was also turned off.

After Ye Lan finished washing up, she carefully checked everything to make sure everything was in order before carrying two suitcases, one large and one small, downstairs.

The large black suitcase belonged to Ye Lan, while the small pink suitcase belonged to Ye Wanying.

This trip will last at least a week, and possibly as long as ten days to half a month.

You should bring a change of clothes.

After all, Shanghai has its own currency, and buying everything there would be a huge expense.

Ye Lan has made a lot of money now, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

With a series of clanging sounds from the elevator, the two arrived safely downstairs.

Ye Lan dragged two suitcases out and placed them on the trunk of the car.

Then we drove to Jiangcheng.

"Brother, do Mom and Dad not know you bought a car yet?" Ye Wanying asked curiously from the passenger seat.

She had previously checked her brother's car and found it cost around 50 yuan, which really shocked her.

After all, in this old town, 50 is enough to buy a house.

"My parents were so eager to go abroad that I came back and they left right after, without even having a chance to tell them."

Ye Lan slowly drove the car out of the underground parking garage.

"They only know that I made money, but they don't know how much money I made."

Ye Lan now has over two million yuan in savings, a figure that is completely unattainable for ordinary people.

It's not that ordinary people can't earn money, but rather that people leave their hometowns to work elsewhere, making it difficult to save any money.

There's a saying online that's absolutely true: "Earn money outside and spend it outside; don't even think about bringing a penny home."

The car drove smoothly on the asphalt road. Ye Wanying pressed her chubby face against the window, her clear and bright eyes gazing quietly at the lush forest rushing past outside.

His gaze gradually became somewhat vacant.

It was sunny today, and the light was quite good, but I just couldn't feel any warmth at all.

It was as if the sun hanging in the sky was just a decoration.

A few hours later, the two arrived at Jiangcheng Airport.

The cold wind swept in from all directions, and he could take advantage of any tiny gap.

Ye Wanying hunched her shoulders and shoved her hands into the pockets of her pure white cotton coat, looking like a penguin that had frozen stiff.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After entering the waiting hall, I immediately felt much warmer.

"Brother, I'm hungry." Ye Wanying stared at Ye Lan with a blank expression.

She ate dinner around 8 p.m. last night, and then skipped breakfast this morning, so her tummy is growling with hunger.

"Who told you to only know how to recite your lessons in the morning and not even know how to find something to eat?"

"Spiritual nourishment is also a form of food."

"Then how come it didn't kill you with overeating? You watch over these luggage, I'll go buy you some bread."

Ye Lan then walked towards the airport shops.

There are free snacks in the waiting area, but they only satisfy cravings, not hunger.

After buying the bread, Ye Lan was stunned when she saw a familiar figure.

"Teacher Ning, what are you doing here! Aren't you going to have class today?"

Ye Lan greeted Ning Caicai with a smile.

Today, she was wearing a light blue jumpsuit that perfectly accentuated her slender waist and shapely hips. She carried a white crossbody bag, and her long, glossy black hair cascaded down to her waist, giving her a charming and delicate appearance.

"Ye Lan? I didn't expect to run into you here, what a coincidence!"

Ning Caicai waved with a smile, a sweet smile on her face.

"It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it? Did your sister tell you that I'm going to Shanghai today?"

Today is not a day off, so it is unreasonable for Ning Caicai, a teacher, to be at the airport.

Furthermore, given Ning Caicai's relationship with Zhou Ting, it's hard for Ye Lan not to suspect that Ning Caicai already knew his whereabouts.

Ning Caicai, whose little scheme had been exposed, looked somewhat aggrieved, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she glanced away.

"My sister bought me the ticket, saying I should come to Shanghai to broaden my horizons. I was going to refuse at first, but she said you'd be coming too, so I came along..."

Ning Caicai's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible and disappeared completely.

She didn't dare look Ye Lan in the eye.

Although the two have been in contact with each other by phone these past few days, it's mostly been about trivial and unrelated topics.

Ning Caicai had no idea what Ye Lan thought of him now.

"Oh, in that case, let's do it together."

Ye Lan spoke very calmly as she walked past Ning Caicai, passing the bread from her left hand to her right hand like a ball, and then tossing it back from her right hand to her left.

Ning Caicai followed behind Ye Lan, feeling a little smug.

"Here, have some bread to fill your stomach first. There will be fast food when you get on the plane."

"Thank you, brother."

Ye Wanying smiled as she accepted the bread Ye Lan handed her, and at the same time noticed Ning Caicai behind him.

"Brother, who is this?"

"Oh, she's your brother's friend, a Chinese language teacher. You can just call her Teacher Ning."

Ning Caicai smiled and nodded, but noticed that Ye Wanying was staring at her with a wary and defensive look.

It was as if they were looking at a prisoner.

I still prefer Sister Xueyao.
