After standing there foolishly for a while, she returned to her dorm and gave Qin Huaixin a call.
"Ignoring the handso guy and calling instead, do you have too much free ti?"
Zhuang Shuqing rolled her eyes, "How can I call when I’m reduced to bones?"
Qin Huaixin’s crisp laughter ca through the phone, "Shuqing, I guess you’ll be back soon."
She frowned: "What do you an?"
"Don’t rush it, enjoy life there first, I have to hang up now."
After ending the call, Zhuang Shuqing stared at her phone blankly. Qin Huaixin was her best friend and although they shared everything, there was an exception between them, a topic not even Qin Huaixin could bring up in front of her.
She gazed indifferently at her phone screen, her mind wandering off...
"Dong dong dong~"
A series of knocks on the door brought her back to her senses, and she realized she had spaced out.
The knocking from outside grew more urgent; she quickly walked over and opened the door to find Leng Yixing standing outside.
"Miss Zhuang~" He looked at her with a smile, his gaze quickly sweeping over her, "I noticed you didn’t co to the duty room this afternoon, so I brought this over to you."
eting him was sowhat awkward for Zhuang Shuqing, but since Leng Yixing didn’t ntion it, she certainly wouldn’t either. Hiding the awkwardness in her eyes, she forced a smile and took the object from his hand, "Thank you, I was planning to go and pick it up after dinner."
"No trouble at all, I was going to et Mr. Lu anyway." He suddenly chuckled softly, "Miss Zhuang, our Mr. Lu has never been around won, so he doesn’t understand tenderness. If he disappoints you, please be patient."
She understood the words separately, but together they made no sense to her.
Seeing that she didn’t understand, Leng Yixing didn’t plan on explaining, but smirked mysteriously: "I’m heading over to Mr. Lu’s place, would you like to join?"
Zhuang Shuqing: "..."
"Then, see you~"
"Wait~" Zhuang Shuqing stopped him, "What did that coach an when he said I saved him?"
A glimr of amusent appeared in Leng Yixing’s eyes, "He told you?"
"Yes. He found my Work Permit."
"Comrade Shuqing, have you really forgotten what you did in the mountains recently?"
Zhuang Shuqing looked bewildered, and then so keywords flashed in her mind: mountain forest, Work Permit, injured man...
Her eyes widened in sudden realization, "That injured man was him!"
As Zhuang Shuqing looked shocked, Leng Yixing laughed softly, "Yes. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go ahead."
Zhuang Shuqing: "..."
...
Sitting on the sofa and looking at Lu Jinyang, who was reviewing docunts, Leng Yixing sighed repeatedly.
Finally, Lu Jinyang looked up from the docunts, "Having trouble breathing?"
Leng Yixing: "Yes, every ti I think about your mother, I feel like telling her what happened that night."
Lu Jinyang smiled slightly, "It’s perfect, I also have sothing to tell your mother."
Leng Yixing felt a tightness in his chest, "...you win."
"I need to go back in a few days."
"Do they want you to bring back a marriage application?"
"Hmm." There was no joy in Lu Jinyang’s voice.
Leng Yixing was silent for a mont, then spoke again without his usual frivolous tone, "Maybe you should just go ho and take over the family business."
Lu Jinyang’s hand holding the pen tightened suddenly, go ho?
"Let’s talk about it later."
...
The next morning, Zhuang Shuqing did not join the training as she had agreed with Xiao Liao the day before.
