"The thing is, Teng Xiaoyu was selected by the national team, right? He's going to train at the sports center of the capital tomorrow afternoon. He always wanted to invite you to have a meal together to thank you for your help last time, but he never had a chance. He just saw your post on Weibo and knows that you're in City B now, so he asked me whether you're free. If you're free and you don't mind, we can hang out together, "Tang Jiakai said.
He didn't mean to give Gu Ning a hard time. He just wanted to let Gu Ning decide.
Gu Ning didn't answer his question right away, but remained silent for a while. Seeing that, Tang Jiakai thought that Gu Ning didn't know what to do, so he explained at once, "Ningning, don't feel embarrassed. He doesn't mean to force you. If you don't want to go, I can tell him that you're busy."
"No, we're just going to hang out together, but it'll be nearby. We can find a teahouse and chat. I'll be back at 10 pm." Gu Ning didn't reject.
Although Gu Ning didn't think it was important for them to meet, it was very important for Teng Xiaoyu. Therefore, since Tang Jiakai wanted to thank her in person, it proved that he cared about her and wanted to repay her kindness. Therefore, Gu Ning didn't reject him.
Most importantly, Tang Jiakai was Tang Jiakai's good friend. Tang Jiakai also hoped that Gu Ning could go with Teng Xiaoyu.
If Tang Jiakai didn't think it was important, he could directly turn it down.
However, Gu Ning didn't want to go too far away or for too long, because it wasn't easy for her to come back and she was going to be busy tomorrow. She wanted to spend some time with her family.
"Ningning, are you sure you don't feel embarrassed?" Tang Jiakai was a little worried. He didn't want to force Gu Ning at all.
"No." Gu Ning smiled helplessly.
"Well, then I'll tell Teng Xiaoyu now and ask them to come here. I know a good teahouse nearby. Grandpa and his old friends often go there. Let's make a reservation there!" Tang Jiakai was relieved when he saw that Gu Ning really didn't make things difficult for them.
"Okay," Gu Ning replied.
It was not even eight o 'clock yet. By the time they arrived, it would be nine o' clock at most. An hour would be enough.
It was just a meeting and a chat. It was not like there was anything important to discuss. One hour was more than enough.
Teng Xiaoyu was overjoyed that Gu Ning had agreed to meet him! Naturally, he didn't care where they met and how long they could stay out.
After that, Gu Ning went home to tell her family about it, and they didn't stop her. As long as it was something that Gu Ning wanted to do, they wouldn't stop her if it wasn't dangerous.
After all, Gu Ning was a very capable and independent person.
Although Gu Ning had just come back and they also hoped that Gu Ning could spend more time with them, they couldn't delay Gu Ning's business because of that.
Gu Ning and Tang Jiakai didn't leave until Teng Xiaoyu arrived, because it would only take them a few minutes to leave, while Teng Xiaoyu was far away, so it was hard to tell when he would arrive.
In order to not let Gu Ning wait for too long, Teng Xiaoyu sped up along the way. It should have taken him more than half an hour, but he arrived in 20 minutes.
It was an urban area after all, and there were many cars and traffic lights. Otherwise, he would have been faster.
Gu Ning didn't mind waiting for a long time, because safety was the most important thing.
Teng Xiaoyu arrived first. He was alone for the time being, but several of his teammates would come later. They also wanted to see Gu Ning, because they already regarded Gu Ning as their idol.
About 10 minutes after Teng Xiaoyu arrived, Gu Ning and Tang Jiakai arrived.
Once Gu Ning arrived, Teng Xiaoyu greeted her with great enthusiasm. He also thanked her for saving his life.
At the same time, Teng Xiaoyu felt a little nervous when he talked with Gu Ning.
Although Gu Ning was several years younger than him, she already had a high social status, so there was a huge gap between them. Therefore, he couldn't help but look up to her and feel nervous.
However, as they talked, he gradually relaxed, because he felt that Gu Ning was like a little girl next door. She didn't put on airs at all.
Gu Ning never put on airs when she was with her friends, because there was no need to be afraid of each other among friends.
About 20 minutes later, the other four people also arrived. They also felt a little nervous facing Gu Ning, but gradually relaxed.
When it was almost 10 pm, Gu Ning was about to leave, so they didn't stay and left together.
When they got back to Family Tang, they were still awake, because it was only a few minutes past 10 pm, so it wasn't too late.
Gu Ning chatted with them for a while. When it was almost 11 pm, Tang Haifeng felt sleepy, so he went to bed. Gu Man was pregnant, so she couldn't sleep too late, so she went to bed as well.
Everyone also went back to their own rooms, because it wasn't early at 11 pm. Normally, they would go to bed at this time.
Leng Shaoting had sent Gu Ning a message before, asking her what she was doing and told her to call him when she was free. Leng Shaoting knew that Gu Ning must be with her Family Tang when she went back to City B, so she wouldn't go back to her own room so early.
When Gu Ning received his message, she also told him that she was with her family and that she would call him later.
Therefore, Gu Ning called Leng Shaoting once she was back in her room.
Leng Shaoting told her that they would go back to the capital tomorrow night, while Gu Ning wouldn't go back to the capital until the morning after the day after tomorrow. They discussed the time and decided to meet in the capital, then take a plane to City Qing in Province Qing.
Kunlun Mountain was very large, and they mainly went to Yaochi and Death Valley.
Death Valley was also known as the Gates of Hell. It was a forbidden area. The valley was filled with wolf fur, bear bones, hunters' steel spears, and lonely graves. It gave the world a gloomy and frightening aura of death.
Leng Shaoting's parents had an accident in Death Valley.
In order to find out more about Leng Shaoting's mother, they had to go there even if it was a forbidden area.
Even though they knew that they wouldn't find out anything, they were unwilling to give up if they didn't go there.
Even if they couldn't find out anything, they could go there to pay respects to Leng Shaoting's father.
Although Leng Shaoting's father's body was pulled back, his soul would be lost wherever he went. No matter whether the soul disappeared or became a ghost, it couldn't walk out of the area of death.
Gu Ning checked the plane tickets and confirmed that they would take off at 9: 30 am. They would arrive at the airport in the capital at about 11: 20 am.
The closest flight to City Qing in Province Qing was 12: 05 am, and boarding passes were stopped 40 minutes before the flight, so they couldn't take this flight at all.
