Nineteen Degrees Part 1

Content Summary: A Conquest of Hers

Liang Mengyi savored Xiang Shaoyuan’s words, carefully thinking about the true meaning of Wei Congying’s actions.

She didn’t think there would be anyone who could make Wei Congying ‘turn over a new leaf’. When he was young, he didn’t like to play with girls, but when he grew up, he unexpectedly liked to play with girls¹[1] In this second “play with girls”, it means to mess with or toy with a girls feelings, leading them on..

Same word, different meaning.

Wei Congying was a person who expressed seven to eight parts love with one to two parts love. He clearly displayed his liking for a girl with his whole body, but as for whether or not he put them in his heart, only he knew the answer to that.

By the time Xiang Shao Yuan finished speaking, the person on the balcony had also finished their phone call. Liang Mengyi watched Wei Congying open the sliding door and walked in. He covered the distance in just a few steps and was playing with his mobile phone with his head down.

Several people put away their frivolous expressions of joking and asked Wei Congying if there was anything wrong.

He put the phone in his hand and picked up the cards: “It’s nothing.”

However, before he finished playing two hands, he called a timeout in the middle of their game as he didn’t feel reassured. He called Cheng Ge and asked him to drive Shi Yun back after she finished picking up her things.

After agreeing, Cheng Ge waited until the other end hung up before putting down the phone. He glanced at his girlfriend Fang Qian who was sitting on the sofa. Her expression changed after Wei Congying called.

“Why does he always call you regardless of the time to make you do things? He is at most an associate, not even your boss. Why does he always do this? This time he asked you to give someone a ride. When did you become his driver? This time I asked you to work overtime for half a month, and I didn’t even give you a vacation.” Fang Qian didn’t like Wei Congying, although he was indeed rich and handsome, but not everyone liked durians.

There was gossip in the school before, saying that there was a girl’s boyfriend in the capital university who followed a rich second generation to dine, wine, and whore around. As a result, the girl’s boyfriend was expelled from the school, and his bright future was wholly ruined.

She didn’t like Cheng Ge and Wei Congying getting too close. As the saying went, it took three years to pick up good habits but only three days to pick up bad habits. And she was also afraid that Cheng Ge would be corrupted by bad habits.

Cheng Ge knew what Fang Qian was worried about, but he was confident in himself, and there were too many benefits to getting along with Wei Congying.

Cheng Ge comforted Fang Qian: “I’m the one who doesn’t want to take a vacation, but if you want me to go shopping with you, he will agree if I ask for a vacation. However, I want to make more money.”

Just by rebuilding Jiang Xuyang’s Kawasaki, he earned a good amount.

Wei Congying was also a generous person, and he earned a lot from working for him.

And he needed to make money, he needed to make a lot of money so that Fang Qian’s parents could assuredly hand over their daughter to him, and he needed a lot of money so that the two of them could live comfortably in the future.

Fang Qian didn’t understand these reasons. She was five years younger than him. Not yet at the age to leave school, but at the age where they’d think they could live happily as long as they loved each other.

As Fang Qian was still seething, footsteps came from the distance. The auto shop was huge, like a large warehouse, and the sound of footsteps echoed. She hid behind Cheng Ge, a little scared.

In the auto shop, only the lights of one of the operating tables were turned on. She hid behind Cheng Ge and poked her head out, only to see a white figure slowly walking over from the darkness.

Shi Yun thought that Cheng Ge was alone, but when she noticed Fang Qian hiding behind him, she was taken aback. She smiled lightly at Fang Qian and walked past them to the sofa.

There were only the two of them in the auto shop, and Fang Qian spoke very loudly when she lost her temper. She had heard Fang Qian’s words as soon as she came in.

It’s just that those words had nothing to do with her.

What Shi Yun is worried about now was whether the USB drive could be found. She didn’t wander anywhere else the day she visited, so the only possibility was for it to have accidentally fallen out of her schoolbag when she kicked it off the sofa that morning.

She squatted down and held onto the edge of the sofa. Regardless of how dirty it was, she prepared to reach under the sofa to feel around for it. A dazzling light came on and shined in her direction, and it was from Cheng Ge who took a flashlight from the operation table and turned it on.

The light dazzled Shi Yun and she reached out to take it: “Thank you.”

Cheng Ge saw her kneeling on the ground, pointed at the gap in the sofa, and started to help: “Do you mind moving to the side? I’ll help you move the sofa away.”

The sofa in the rest area was very big. Cheng Ge did physical work, so it was not difficult for him to move it.

There was gray-white dust on the floor below the sofa, and there were also a few hair ties and screws. Shi Yun saw the dusty silver metal USB flash drive with a glance.

The heart that had jumped to her throat finally settled back into place, at least all the materials in it were not lost. She let out a long breath. Picking up the USB flash drive from the ground, she brushed off the dust on it with her hands and thanked Cheng Ge who helped move the sofa.

Now that the drive was found, she didn’t intend to take up the young couple’s time, so she took out her phone and sent Wei Congying a message, letting him know she had found it, and prepared to leave.

Seeing that she had found her missing item, Cheng Ge recalled that Wei Congying had called to ask him to send Shi Yun back. Just as he was about to get the keys, Fang Qian stood beside Cheng Ge and pulled on his arm with a displeased face, like an unreasonable child throwing a tantrum: “I don’t want you to drive her.”

In truth, she also knew that it was not entirely safe for a girl to take a taxi at night, but greater was Fang Qian’s reluctance for Cheng Ge to run errands for Wei Congying.

But Cheng Ge didn’t mind her words, he took the keys and stood on the side to wait for Shi Yun: “I’ll come back after taking her back. The reason I’m making money is for you and me.”

These words were not very effective in coaxing the other person.

But he couldn’t help it.

Cheng Ge also found a disposable seat cover from the cabinet, and he patted Fang Qian on the head as if to comfort her: “I’ll be right back.”
