Chapter 8.1: Inference
Qu Tong saw that after Lan Ning hang up the phone, her face is very dark. She carefully asked her: “Sister Lan Ning, what happen?”
Just now, she heard her calling teacher and about submitting draft, should be work related, right?
Lan Ning put the phone back into the bag and with a despair look: “I could not go out and eat. Maybe you can go alone?”
This time, it is Qu Tong’s turn to be despair: “Why?”
“I need to go and do overtime…..” That is not even an overtime as in overtime.
Qu Tong heard her mentioning working overtime, did not say anything. She returned to the house in disappointment. “Oh, then I would not go out. I will just cook noodles and have it.”
“Sorry, sorry.” Lan Ning show the gesture of apology to Qu Tong whom is taking off her shoe. “Next week, I will treat you to ‘Sugar Heart Sweetie’ desserts.”
“Really?” Hearing the word ‘Sugar Heart Sweetie’, Qu Tong suddenly became excited. “I super like to eat the dessert there! When they just opened, I went there. Oh, I even took some photos there. Next week, I wear a new skirt when we go!”
“Ah….. good!” Lan Ning as she had to listen to Qu Tong while she posted some photos on her weibo. It did seems quite famous. But back then, it was not her concern. “I’ll go first. You remember to eat dinner.”
She rushed out of the home, took the subway and arrived at the high end condo of Yan Ru Yu. Ringing the doorbell for a long time, but there were no respond.
….. Ha Ha……
She sneered and pulled out the phone. She dial Yan Ru Yu’s number. This time, the other party did not take her number as hara.s.sing phone call and ignored her. He picked up after a few rings. “What do you want?”
“You asked me what happened. You called me over but you are not at home. What does this mean?”
The man on the other side of the phone paused. And the said: “I did not think that you would actually come over and see me.”
“……….” Lan Ning did not want to bicker with him. “Where are you?”
“Supermarket. There are no dishes in the refrigerator.”
Lan Ning hangs up and with simmering breath went to look for him in the supermarket. Yan Ru Yu is really leisurely shopping.
“Teacher.” She smirked and walked up to greet him. Yan Ru Yu pushing the shopping cart, lightly glanced at her. “Ah.”
Lan Ning: “………”
Lan Ning, he did not mean to trick you. You have to believe that people are not so cruel!
Lan Ning convinced herself. She then smiled at Yan Ru Yu and said: “Teacher, you must have written today many ma.n.u.scripts. So tired and cannot do dinner.”
Yan Ru Yu seriously ponder for a moment and replied: “There are probably a few hundred words of it.”
Lan Ning: “…………”
Can she curse now?
“You look like you are very disgusted with that few hundred words.” Yan Ru Yu turned around looking at her while pushing the shopping cart turning around the corner. “Then when I go back, I will delete the few hundreds of words.”
Lan Ning: “………”
Do you still dare to show your temper!
She was thinking of a foul language. Yan Ru Yu then asked: “But then again, you seem to dress up a little bit to come and see me.”
“Ha Ha…. Oh, I was getting ready to go out for dinner and shopping.” She specially aggravated “Dinner and shopping” words.
“Dinner and shopping?” Yan Ru Yu seem a little shocked and then slightly surprised her by saying: “You went to j.a.pan alone. You should not have a boyfriend.”
