Chapter 912: He Stood Her Up (10) Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the meal, it was now past eight o"clock and Yin Shaojie was still nowhere to be seen.
Han Qiqing pulled Song s.h.i.+jun aside stealthily and whispered, "Do you have any other methods to contact Yin Shaojie? It"s so late already. Is he really trying to stand Xiaoxiao up?"
They had agreed to release their water lanterns together. It was one thing for Yin Shaojie to not come, but not calling them at all felt a little off.
Based on how importantly Yin Shaojie treated Xiaoxiao, doing this was abnormal.
Song s.h.i.+jun snuck a peek at Mu Xiaoxiao. "How do you think Xiaoxiao is feeling right now? Why do I feel as though… she seems to be okay?"
Han Qiqing glared at him. "Must she display her unhappiness if she"s unhappy? Xiaoxiao doesn"t want our moods to be affected, so she will of course keep it bottled up in her heart."
They were all out here for fun. She couldn"t sour everyone"s mood just because of her, right?
Song s.h.i.+jun thought about it and agreed. "What do we do now then? What can we do?"
"Let"s help Xiaoxiao finish making a lantern first. You can make a call to City A and ask if anyone has any news about Yin Shaojie. I"m afraid… he"s gotten himself into trouble." Han Qiqing voiced her concerns.
"Shut your jinxing mouth! You"re the jinx here!" This time, it was Song s.h.i.+jun who was glaring at her.
"Tell me then, what"s he so busy with that he"s even ignoring his date with Xiaoxiao?" Han Qiqing couldn"t comprehend this.
Releasing their water lanterns was something important that couples did, where they wished to be together forever.
However, now that Yin Shaojie was not coming, wouldn"t Xiaoxiao be left alone?
How could they release the water lanterns like this?
Han Qiqing didn"t feel like releasing water lanterns now.
Song s.h.i.+jun sighed and said, "Shaojie has a reason for whatever he does. Even if we worry now, there"s nothing we can do but wait. I personally feel that since he"s already promised Xiaoxiao, he wouldn"t stand her up."
Han Qiqing chuckled coldly and pointed at the time on her phone to him. "Look at what time it is now. If he"s already on the way, he can still arrive before 12 o"clock. However, he"s not on the road right now! It would be meaningless if he arrives tomorrow."
Today was the last day of the Water Lantern Festival.
Song s.h.i.+jun didn"t know how to explain things to her. "Anyway, I trust Shaojie. It"s called brotherly trust!"
"Scram!" Han Qiqing couldn"t argue with him anymore, and aimed a kick towards him.
Han Qiqing walked over to Xiaoxiao"s side and watched her make her water lantern. She looked serious that Qiqing didn"t have the heart to disturb her.
After hesitating for a while, Han Qiqing decided to keep quiet and lowered her head and continued with her own lantern making.
Because Mo Xiaomeng had hurt her hand the night before, Ye Sijue didn"t let her make her own, but made two himself.
Song s.h.i.+jun held up the water lantern he had made and looked around proudly. In a boasting manner, he said, "I didn"t realize that not only am I handsome, I"m also a genius at crafts!"
Han Qiqing made a vomiting expression.
"I think you should write what you"ve just said on it as your wish. That way, you might be able to grant this impossible wish."
Han Qiqing realized that Mu Xiaoxiao was not listening to her as she spoke. Afraid that she was feeling sad, she looked over to see what she was writing.
She saw that Mu Xiaoxiao had written "I wish Yin Shaojie will be blessed with good health and a long life."
Han Qiqing was stunned. "Xiaoxiao, why did you…"
She had written a wish for Yin Shaojie, but not herself.
