Chapter 218: Chat
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhou Liu only said that he would see her next time, but Li Ran reminisced about it the entire way home. Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, she would occasionally reveal a love-struck smile. The chauffeur was speechless and said, “Sis, can you tell me the destination before smiling?”
“All…” Li Ran held back her laughter and said to the cab driver, “Just keep driving straight. Just drop me off after pa.s.sing the intersection.”
The chauffeur looked confused. The distance was less than a kilometer. In that case, why did she want to take a taxi?
The driver placed Li Ran at the intersection with a dissatisfied expression. The moment the door closed, he stepped on the accelerator and drove out. If it were any other time, Li Ran would have immediately called the taxi company to complain about him. However, she was in a good mood now, so she naturally didn’t care about these small details.
Just as the taxi left, Li Rail’s family’s car stopped beside her. Seeing how happy Li Ran was, the chauffeur couldn’t help but say, “It looks like your date went very smoothly today.”
Li Ran opened the car window halfway, allowing the warm night breeze to blow past her face. Then, her burning cheeks also cooled down.
“It went quite smoothly.”
This chauffeur had been following Li Ran since she was in high school and he treated her like his own daughter. Now that Li Ran was so happy, he naturally couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, I heard that boys who do programming are very dull-witted. Won’t you find it boring to eat and shop together with him?”
Li Ran carefully recalled what happened tonight. Although Zhou Liu was a little awkward at the beginning, he was quite discerning later on. Furthermore, he was so cute and special.
Li Ran shook her head as she said, “No, he answered my questions seriously, nor was he very boring. He even cracked a few jokes. However, his jokes were indeed very lame. Without any basic programming knowledge, I couldn’t understand him at all.”
Li Ran stretched and continued, “However, he was very considerate. He knew that he couldn’t let girls carry things. When he bought milk tea, he specifically ordered it at room temperature. Furthermore, when he sent me off, he waited for me to get into the car before leaving. Uncle Li, don’t you think he’s very considerate?”
Li Ran leaned against the seat in the front row of the car and waited for the chauffeur, Uncle Li, to respond to her.
Seeing her like this, Uncle Li knew that she must have fallen in love again. Now, her mind was filled with the other party’s good points, so she couldn’t bear to hear any negative things about him. Hence, he agreed with her and said dotingly, “Yes, yes, yes. He’s indeed quite enlightened for a programmer.”
“Hehe.” Li Ran smiled in satisfaction and leaned back in her chair again. As she looked at the scenery outside the window, she carefully recalled every detail of what happened tonight.
“We even went to buy clothes. I realized that he’s really suited for bright colors. His buzz cut is clean and neat, and he looks really cool in trendy brands. He looks much better in them than in his plaid shirt! I’ll definitely bring him to try other styles next time!”
Mr. Li smiled as he watched Li Ran talking to herself in the rearview mirror. However, he was silently praying that this man wouldn’t be like Gao Shan, who had toyed with her feelings. In the end, he only wanted to use her.
If Zhou Liu was such a person, he definitely wouldn’t let Zhou Liu off!
Li Ran was exhausted from shopping the entire night. The moment she entered the living room, she collapsed on the sofa and turned on her cell phone to chat with Zhou Liu.
Zhou Liu asked, [Are you home yet?]
Li Ran replied, “Yes, yes. I just entered. 1 walked a lot tonight, so my legs are very sore.”
Zhou Liu’s message was very platonic. [Your legs are sore because you don’t exercise often. That’s why your calf muscles are swollen and sore. 1 suggest that you use hot water to soak your feet after a ma.s.sage and rest well.]
No matter how Li Ran looked at it, it looked like he had searched for the information online, so she asked him, “So, did you specifically search online?”
[No, this is common knowledge.]
[…] Just as Li Ran was about to praise him for being considerate, she was rendered speechless by this guy’s blunt words.
Li Ran was still thinking about how to reply to him when she fell asleep from exhaustion. The phone screen was still lit, and the person on the other end said with concern, “Rest early. Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out in the rain tomorrow..”
