Reborn in 1992, from a car repair shop to an automotive empire

Chapter 19 Victory Celebration Banquet, Bold Confession

Chun'an Street.

Wang Yang rode his motorcycle, carrying Gao Xin, at a low speed down the street.

"Ah Yang, why aren't you saying anything...?"

Feeling shy under the gazes of passersby.

Although Gao Xin is usually very cheerful, she is, after all, just a twenty-year-old girl, and she still hesitates when facing the person she likes.

A young girl's secrets are hidden in every unspoken word.

"For tonight's celebration banquet, we've booked a whole roasted lamb feast, including your favorite roasted lamb leg..."

Wang Yang swallowed hard, finding it difficult to concentrate.

Gao Xin's soft body wrapped around Wang Yang's waist, her cheek resting on his back, as if she might melt at any moment.

When the motorcycle passed over potholes, Gao Xin would always instinctively hug Wang Yang tightly, and let out a soft moan of fear.

When Gao Xin started looking for topics to talk about, she would always unconsciously blow a few breaths of hot air into Wang Yang's ear.

How can anyone concentrate like this?

"You still remember that one time you ate roast lamb leg..."

Gao Xin's thoughts drifted back to the distant past.

It was the night we parted ways after graduating from junior high school, and everyone pooled their money to buy a whole roasted lamb.

The girl from that year never spoke her mind.

"That roasted lamb leg was delicious."

Wang Yang forced himself to calm down, but he didn't know how to respond.

In his previous life, after learning about Gao Xin's family background, Wang Yang didn't dare to go to her.

Now, with decades more of life experience, Wang Yang still doesn't know how to deal with a young girl's feelings.

Perhaps, given a second chance at life, Wang Yang shouldn't have any regrets.

"Um."

Gao Xin didn't say anything more, but pressed her face against Wang Yang's back and clenched her hands.

"A handsome guy and a beautiful girl, they're a perfect match!"

Under the setting sun, Wang Yang, dressed in a crisp black jacket, had a handsome face and a tall, upright figure.

Gao Xin, wearing trousers and a T-shirt, with slightly flushed cheeks and a full figure, was holding Wang Yang.

Passersby couldn't help but stop and watch, filled with envy.

This is what youth is all about.

"Yang-ge! Xin-jie! You're here! We've been waiting for you for ages!"

Yang Wenqing paced back and forth inside the "Old Yang's Head" restaurant, finally hearing the sound of a motorcycle.

Yang Wenqing had been waiting for the bus for more than ten minutes, yet he still arrived before the two people on the motorcycle.

Ugh, the stench of love.

"I'm not late, am I?"

"All the other dishes are ready, and the whole roasted lamb is almost done too. Come on in, everyone's waiting for you."

The "Old Yang's" restaurant was packed with people; it was always packed during mealtimes.

Led by Yang Wenqing, Wang Yang and Gao Xin went to the private room on the second floor, where Liu Hui and Zhang Qiang had been waiting for a long time.

Inside the private room, there was a girl named Zhong Simin, holding Liu Hui's hand.

Zhong Simin was also their classmate, and not long ago, Liu Hui successfully won her over.

"Congratulations, Ha Hui Zi. Why didn't you mention it to me before?"

Wang Yang knew what was going on at a glance.

In the days when transportation was not very developed, everyone stayed in the local area after graduation.

Many good relationships between opposite-sex classmates during school years naturally develop into romantic relationships as adults.

Liu Hui and Zhong Simin are in this situation.

"I didn't want to pick a good day to tell you all, Yang-ge, congratulations to you too."

Liu Hui chuckled, his gaze sweeping over Gao Xin, who was practically pressed against Wang Yang's back.

"Liu Hui, you've misunderstood, we..."

Yes, we're together.

Wang Yang grabbed Gao Xin's hand, interlocked their fingers, and lifted her up.

If Wang Yang were to live a second life and still be as self-conscious, timid, and afraid to take on emotional responsibilities as he was in his previous life, then he could say he had lived in vain.

If you like someone, then confess your feelings boldly.

"It should have been done a long time ago. Squad Leader Gao has been talking about you a lot over the years."

Chung Simin smiled slightly and joked.

The two are best friends and often keep in touch, so Chung Sze-man has always been very clear about Ko Yan's feelings.

Seeing the two of them together now, Chung Sze-man is naturally happy for Ko Yan.

"Oh, Minmin, stop talking."

Gao Xin hid behind Wang Yang, gave him a light tap, and whispered, "It's all your fault, I wasn't ready..."

"Don't just stand there, the whole roasted lamb is ready to be served!"

The atmosphere in the private room was cheerful, and Liu Hui quickly invited everyone to take their seats.

Zhong Simin and Liu Hui had been together for several days, so she wasn't particularly shy.

During the meal, Zhong Simin chatted with everyone about the development and interesting stories of other classmates, which brought bursts of laughter to the private room.

Gao Xin, who is usually lively and cheerful, seemed to have lost her soul, burying her head in her roasted lamb leg and eating until her face was covered in oil.

"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility."

Wang Yang pulled out a napkin and gently wiped the oil stains off Gao Xin's face.

It would have been better if she hadn't said it. As soon as she said it, Gao Xin's cheeks, which had just calmed down a little after she returned, instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.

Being confessed to by a boy you've had a crush on for years—this is something you only see in comic books.

For a moment, Gao Xin's mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say.

"good…"

Gao Xin covered half of her face with a roasted lamb leg and finally said "okay" in a soft, sweet voice.

Please, why make it so cute?

This was Wang Yang's first time in a relationship, and he was just as at a loss, so he could only keep expressing his determination to Gao Xin.

Wang Yang knew perfectly well that he was still a long way from the Gao family.

All Wang Yang can do now is make promises.

In the future, he will fulfill all of these promises.

"Qiangzi, we're like a third wheel, don't you realize that?"

Yang Wenqing moved closer to Zhang Qiang from behind and spoke slowly.

Wang Yang and Gao Xin were inseparable, and Liu Hui and Zhong Simin were also being affectionate, feeding each other.

Only Yang Wenqing and Zhang Qiang remained, silently eating dog food and munching on roasted mutton.

Yang Wenqing, needless to say, is either studying or preparing for the civil service exam.

After going ashore, he devoted himself entirely to his work and had no time for matters of love and relationships.

However, Zhang Qiang is different.

"Brother Wenqing, actually... I have a girlfriend, we started dating not long ago, but she went back to her hometown, so I didn't bring her..."

Zhang Qiang works at a restaurant, so he comes into contact with many people every day.

In this day and age, if you find someone you like, you just get together; it's not that complicated.

With a wider social network, it's naturally easier to spark romantic feelings.

"What?!"

Therefore, from beginning to end, only Yang Wenqing was single.

How could this be!

Yang Wenqing was on the verge of tears. The path of officialdom was full of thorns, and he had no need for the constraints of love and romance.

Yes, it's definitely not that we didn't find it!

As the celebration banquet drew to a close, everyone finally calmed down and remembered the theme of the meal.

"We make a fortune from the business of illegally modifying motorcycles."

"But the number of motorcycles I can assemble by myself is always limited."

Wang Yang tapped on the table, attracting everyone's attention.

"Therefore, I plan to open a car repair shop, take on apprentices to teach them how to repair motorcycles, and expand the business."

"The name of the auto repair shop will be Chun'an Auto Repair Shop!"
