“So you’re Leng’an’s roommate!” The voice on the other end of the line regained its warmth. “I wonder what brings you to ?”
Murong Yung didn’t believe a word of what this so-called Zhou Cui’an had said. Although she didn’t know who the caller was, it was unlikely that Ye Leng’an had given her number to this girl. However, it was evident that the caller didn’t have a good relationship with Ye Leng’an.
Hearing Murong Yung’s soothing voice, Zhou Cui’an felt sowhat reassured, but she still didn’t know how to approach the situation. She and Murong Yung had never interacted before, so suddenly asking for her help felt rather abrupt. Would she co across as too needy?
There was no response from the other end for a while. If Murong Yung hadn’t heard the nervous breaths, she would have thought the call had disconnected.
After so consideration, Murong Yung spoke up, “I think it’s inconvenient to discuss this over the phone. Shall we et in person?”
“Is that alright?” Zhou Cui’an was pleasantly surprised. “Then, when would Senior Sister be available?”
“I’m at the school right now,” Murong Yung said slowly. “How about we et at a café outside the school in half an hour?”
Zhou Cui’an suppressed her excitent. “Okay, I’ll head over right away.”
Even after hanging up, Zhou Cui’an remained excited, her hands trembling. She hadn’t expected her call to Murong Yung to go so smoothly.
Now she needed to figure out how to explain things to Murong Yung. Though she hadn’t t her in person, rumors portrayed her as a gentle person. So, if she explained her predicant, Murong Yung would likely be willing to help.
Zhou Cui’an arrived at the café early, waiting for Murong Yung’s arrival.
Half an hour passed quickly, but there was no sign of Murong Yung. Zhou Cui’an began to feel anxious.
As ti went by, her initial excitent turned to disappointnt. In the end, her heart grew cold, especially when Murong Yung still hadn’t shown up.
She didn’t know if Murong Yung had forgotten their appointnt or if sothing had co up.
Regardless, she didn’t dare leave, fearing that Murong Yung would arrive and not find her, which would be quite offensive.
Moreover, this was her only chance. If she missed it, she didn’t know what to do next. So, she continued to wait.
As ti passed, Zhou Cui’an grew increasingly restless. Nearly two hours went by with no sign of Murong Yung.
Just as Zhou Cui’an was about to lose hope, a figure suddenly appeared before her, accompanied by a familiar, gentle voice.
“Hello, are you Junior Sister Zhou Cui’an?” Murong Yung wore a gentle smile. “I’m Murong Yung.”
Hearing Murong Yung’s voice, Zhou Cui’an’s spirits, which had sunk, imdiately lifted. She stood up abruptly.
A sharp creak echoed as Zhou Cui’an’s chair scraped against the floor.
The noise stood out in the quiet café, drawing the attention of others.
Zhou Cui’an realized her actions were inappropriate. Her face turned red under the scrutiny of others, and she felt incredibly awkward as she apologized, “Senior Sister Murong, I’m sorry, I…”
She didn’t know why she was apologizing to Murong Yung, but she felt like she had done sothing wrong.
Though disdain flashed in Murong Yung’s eyes, she maintained her calm deanor. “It’s okay, Junior Sister Zhou. Let’s sit down.”
The two sat down again.
Murong Yung ordered a cup of coffee.
After placing their order, Murong Yung turned to Zhou Cui’an with an apologetic expression. “Junior Sister Zhou, I’m truly sorry. I intended to et you much earlier, but an urgent matter ca up at the Student Council. I had to deal with it imdiately and couldn’t call you. I’m sorry for making you wait.”
“It’s alright, really.” Zhou Cui’an was touched by Murong Yung’s apology. She waved it off, saying, “Senior Sister Murong, you’re too kind. To be honest, I’m the one inconveniencing you today. I’m just grateful you agreed to et .”
Murong Yung smiled and didn’t dwell on it. Instead, she asked, “So, Junior Sister Zhou, why did you call ?”
In truth, Murong Yung didn’t have any pressing matters. She simply wanted to keep Zhou Cui’an waiting. The longer Zhou Cui’an waited, the more anxious she would beco, which would work in Murong Yung’s favor.
However, seeing that Zhou Cui’an had waited even though she was so late, it seed she was genuinely anxious.
After hearing Murong Yung’s words, Zhou Cui’an fell silent. She deliberated on how to broach the subject without sounding too abrupt.
“Junior Sister Zhou, if you have sothing to say, just say it,” Murong Yung said calmly. “Since we’re already here, there’s no need to beat around the bush. If you need my help, just ask. I’ll do my best to assist you.”
Hearing Murong Yung’s gentle encouragent, Zhou Cui’an’s anxiety eased. She took a deep breath and said, “Senior Sister Murong, I actually reached out to you because I need your help with sothing. The winter break has begun, and I’m looking for a holiday job. However, those companies don’t provide accommodation, and the school doesn’t allow overnight stays, so I…”
