Chapter 117 Distance Jump
"Andy, don't worry! I'm not your brother!"
Andy felt both relieved and disappointed. "Isn't that right?"
"Andy, relax!" Zhang Liangjun sat up and took Andy's hand. "I know you're worried about your brother, but all your worries are in vain! You should look forward. Any worries, hesitations, or sadness won't help. The only thing that can help us is courage!"
Andy lowered his head. "But if my brother were still alive, he might be mentally ill!"
“I believe he’s a genius, not a real lunatic! I recommend a book to you, ‘The Madman on the Left, the Genius on the Right’!” Zhang Liangjun got up, got out of bed, took the book from the bookshelf, and handed it to Andy. “Sometimes, different perspectives can cause worldviews to shift. If you think about it carefully, you’ll find that it’s not necessarily who’s wrong!”
Andy took it, glanced at it briefly, and said, "Okay, I understand!"
"You should rest now. There's a private bathroom in the bedroom, and all the toiletries are new. I'm leaving now. Goodnight, Andy!" Zhang Liangjun didn't linger. Now that Andy had stabilized, he wanted to give her some space so she could lick her wounds.
Andy didn't go to sleep; instead, he picked up the book again. The more he read, the more focused and detailed he became, his brow furrowing and relaxing repeatedly.
"Madmen? Hah, they're all geniuses!"
The next morning.
Andy got up to go for a run and ran into Zhang Liangjun, who was dressed in sportswear. "Liangjun, do you run every day too?"
“I run at home all the time, I’ve already broken three treadmills! I’m doing this especially today with you.” Zhang Liangjun is straightforward and never hides anything. “This is a set of Beats Bluetooth headphones. I know you like to listen to music while running, so I bought it especially for you.”
"How did you know I like listening to music while running? Did Xiao Guan tell you?" Andy temporarily put aside his brother's thoughts, but then remembered the question he hadn't gotten an answer to yesterday. "Don't you have anything to say about Xiao Guan?"
"Andy, are you sure you want to spend your life with me?"
“I…” Andy fell silent. “I might still have to go back to the Ugly Country after I find my brother. If you’re willing to come with me…”
Zhang Liangjun interrupted Andy, "It's highly unlikely I'll go to the U.S. Someone like me, once I go there, is very likely I won't come back! You've witnessed the cruelty of capitalism in the U.S., you should know these things!"
“I hope you can… never mind, Liangjun, let’s go for a run!” Andy gave up. After all, she had no stance from the beginning, and she had never even thought about having a long-term relationship with Zhang Liangjun. She still wanted to go back to the United States. This land was friendly to others, but for Andy, it didn’t leave any good memories!
When the two returned to the villa, drenched in sweat, Ji Xiaotong was in the dining room setting the table with Aunt Zhao. "Good morning, Andy!"
Andy smiled and replied to Ji Xiaotong, "Good morning." Then she glanced at Zhang Liangjun, hesitated, and finally just sighed softly. Perhaps she should stay away from Zhang Liangjun; Andy silently took a step back.
“Xiaotong lives next door. She doesn’t like living with others, so she didn’t hire a housekeeper. That’s why we often eat together,” Zhang Liangjun explained, explaining why Ji Xiaotong appeared in his house and acted like the lady of the house.
Andy said, "That's good too!"
After breakfast, Andy said to Zhang Liangjun, "Can you take me back to the company?"
Zhang Liangjun asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you were going to rest at home for a few days?"
“You were right last night. Worrying is useless. We should bravely look forward!” Andy didn’t look up, but stared at the toast in front of him.
"it is good."

"Brother Zhang, Sister Fan went out to dinner with her old classmates last night and came back quite drunk!" Since the crab gathering, Qiu Yingying has frequently messaged Zhang Liangjun on messaging apps. Sometimes Zhang Liangjun would reply when he saw the message, but most of the time, he was at the company handling official business and would take a long time to reply to Qiu Yingying.
But this time, a message notification sounded quickly on her phone. She opened it and saw Zhang Liangjun's reply: "Only her classmates?"
"There seems to be another one called 'Boss Wolf'! Is there anyone with the surname Wolf? Apparently, she helped that old classmate secure a client named 'Boss Wolf,' and her old classmate even gave her a Hermes scarf. Brother Zhang, don't you have anything to do right now? You replied so quickly!" Qiu Yingying was very straightforward.
Zhang Liangjun saw the message and knew that Fan Shengmei had gone to drink with clients for Wang Baichuan again. Wang Baichuan was something else; after pursuing his goddess for years, he turned around and made her go drinking with clients! A lunatic meets a goddess… lunatic! These two are a perfect match!
"I really had nothing to do today, so I played games at home." Zhang Liangjun was playing League of Legends, a game he "personally developed" (hijacking Riot Games and Honor of Kings), which had become a wildly popular game thanks to Tencent's promotion.
Qiu Yingying replied instantly: "Brother Zhang, do you also like playing games? I love playing too! It's just that everyone won't let me play, they think I'm wasting my time!"
Zhang Liangjun saw the message and thought to himself that this was just a waste of time. Qiu Yingying couldn't make a living by playing games... Wait, maybe it's possible!
"If you have time, come to my house today! I want to see how you're having fun!"
In the master bedroom of apartment 1902, an elderly couple shook their heads as they listened to the loud banging noises from upstairs. "Young people these days have no sense of public morality! The building is about to collapse!" they exclaimed.
Qiu Yingying forced herself to stop jumping around excitedly; she needed to hurry and reply to Zhang Liangjun's message! "Okay, I'm free all day! Brother Zhang, I'll come find you! Tell me your address!"
Qiu Yingying waited anxiously for a message, but the screen suddenly flashed to an incoming call page. Zhang Liangjun didn't reply using the software anymore; it was too troublesome. He called directly: "I'll be there in about thirty minutes. Wait for me at the entrance of the community!"
"Oh, okay!" Qiu Yingying is more outgoing online, but when she talks on the phone or meets in person, she seems a bit silly.
Qiu Yingying didn't wait thirty minutes before going downstairs. Instead, she changed her clothes and rushed out. Fan Shengmei, who was applying a face mask in the living room, only felt a gust of wind. When she opened her eyes, she saw nothing. "Was I dreaming? What time is it? Did I oversleep?"
When Zhang Liangjun arrived at the entrance of the Joyful Song residential complex in his Hongqi car, Qiu Yingying was already waiting at the gate. When she saw an unfamiliar car approaching her, she was so frightened that she took a few meters back.
Zhang Liangjun rolled down the car window. "Yingying, this way, get in the car!"
Qiu Yingying opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. "Brother Zhang, it's you! Is this your car?"
"Yes, Yingying, let me help you fasten your seatbelt!" Zhang Liangjun stepped over Qiu Yingying, reached out and pulled the seatbelt buckle. Qiu Yingying saw the handsome face getting closer and closer to her and felt a little tempted!
