Under the moonlight

Chapter 109 Go back

go back

Huang Meng had already set her alarm for the next morning. Their flight was on Monday morning, so around 7 a.m., Zhao Meng, who was asleep in a chair, was woken up by Huang Meng's phone alarm. He squinted at Huang Meng, who was still sleeping in bed with her blanket, slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, turned off the alarm, and gently called her name a few times. As soon as Huang Meng opened her eyes, she saw Zhao Meng's enlarged face in the "Yani Greetings" video. "Zhao Meng, I've finally found you." Huang Meng thought she was still dreaming; in her dreams, he was always facing away from her.

"Yes, you found me. But if we don't get up soon, we'll miss our flight." Zhao Meng's eyebrows relaxed, and he looked at her still sleepy eyes with a smile.

"Huh? An airplane? What airplane? Oh, it's Monday today!" Huang Meng reached out and pinched her cheek. This wasn't a dream!

Huang Meng threw off the covers and rushed into the bathroom to tidy herself up and pack her things. "Zhao Meng, you'd better hurry up, or we'll miss our flight!" Huang Meng said to Zhao Meng as she packed her things, her face beaming with a smile.

"Okay, my things are easy to pack, take your time, don't rush. We'll meet in the hall later." Zhao Meng said, turning and leaving. He bumped into Chen Zhi as he stepped out of his room. Seeing Zhao Meng's tired look, as if he hadn't slept well, and his clothes all wrinkled, and considering he came from Huang Meng's room so early in the morning, Chen Zhi imagined the two of them... Zhao Meng approached, put his arm around Chen Zhi's neck, and teased, "Hey, bro, you're something else!" Zhao Meng saw his mischievous smile and knew what he was thinking. He nudged Chen Zhi in the chest with his elbow, "Don't overthink things, especially watch your mouth!" Zhao Meng gave him a warning look and went back to his room.

Chen Zhi clutched his chest and leaned against the wall in pain. It took him a while to recover. It was just too violent!

The three of them rushed as fast as they could and managed to catch the plane and return to the company safely. Huang Meng was very grateful to Chen Zhi for running around for two days and made an appointment to treat him to a meal another day.

Huang Meng wandered around the company for a bit but didn't find anything to do. She said goodbye to Liang Yuanyuan and went home first. Zhao Meng disappeared after returning to the company; he must have been busy with something.

Back home, Huang Meng took a shower, cleaned herself up, and collapsed onto the bed, burying herself in the blankets. All the sounds around her seemed to be shut out, leaving only the sound of her heavy breathing.

they……

Recalling the dinner party yesterday, they were laughing and joking with each other, just like before, chatting about happy things. I felt like an observer, just like before, before they accepted me, I was the same, watching them laugh and joke. Maybe they accepted me because of the kindness I had shown to their friend Peng Qiang. Maybe they never really considered me a friend.

Therefore, my departure didn't have much impact on them. After not seeing each other for many years, there was only awkwardness and reluctance between us when we met again.

However, this is for the best. Having met once, I can put an end to my lingering feelings.

Huang Meng rolled over and lay on her back on the bed, looking at the ceiling and muttering to herself, "Well, it's not so bad. Life is fleeting, and we are all just passersby."

Huang Meng tried to stop thinking about yesterday, but Xu Ao's face kept replaying in her mind. "The past is so vague, but what about the present?"

She took out her phone, opened Xu Ao's WeChat, and wanted to send a video call, but she was afraid of what he might hear or see. Since that video call that ended abruptly, he had never contacted her again. What was wrong with him?

Huang Meng held her phone to her forehead, her mind filled with doubts, yet she refused to suspect that Xu Ao had changed his mind, but she couldn't find any other reason. Just when she was at her wit's end, her phone rang.

"Hello? How are you?" Huang Meng asked, puzzled, looking at the unfamiliar number.

"Dream, is that you, Dream?" Yuri's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yuri? It's you. What, you suddenly remembered to call me?" Huang Meng frowned sharply. He wouldn't have contacted her unless it was something important.

"Dream, we, we can't hold on much longer!" Yuri said in a trembling voice.

"Yuri, what happened? Tell me slowly."

“We, we seem to have been infected. Frost has had a low-grade fever since yesterday, and then she had diarrhea, but I can’t find any medicine. Right now, the government’s medicines are all being supplied to government officials. We have no medicine at all. She, I’m really worried about her!” Yuri said, almost crying.

"What? Well, don't panic. I'll call the embassy and see if they have any medicine. You, you should take precautions and protect yourself." Huang Meng hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking. She didn't have time to think anymore and quickly dialed Xu Ao's number.

"Hey, Xu Ao, are you busy? I need your help with something," Huang Meng said as soon as the call connected.

"Who are you? Xu Ao isn't here. You're looking for him... Hey," a woman's voice on the other end of the phone was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Huang Meng, what's wrong?" Xu Ao felt his anger had reached its peak. He glared at Hu Sixuan angrily and snatched the phone away.

"Xu Ao, have you contacted the embassy? Do they have any extra medicine? Lin Hanshuang has contracted the plague, and her life is in danger." Huang Meng didn't have time to argue with him and quickly got to the important matter.

"Okay, I understand. But how did you get in touch with Yuri?" Xu Ao had been afraid that she would worry about things in S country, so he hadn't given her any contact information there. How did she manage to get in touch with Yuri? She must know the situation there by now.

“It’s Zhao Meng. Yuri is his friend. Zhao Meng was there when there was chaos in S before, and he helped save a lot of people. Yuri also asked him to find that batch of goods.” Huang Meng didn’t intend to hide it from him and said directly.

"Oh? You think highly of him?" Xu Ao said this out of the blue after hearing Huang Meng's words.

"what?"

"It's alright. I'll inform Jiang Ying and the others about what you mentioned. Whether we can help depends on Yuri and his team's luck. Give me Yuri's number."

"Okay, I'll send it to you on WeChat in a bit." After hanging up with Xu Ao, Huang Meng quickly sent Yuri's number.

After putting her phone away, Huang Meng kept thinking about the woman who had answered the phone earlier. She remembered Xu Ao saying that what she disliked most was others touching her things without permission.

Since he wasn't going to say anything, I decided not to ask.
