After leaving the Yun Group building, Cen Jin looked up at the crimson sky at sunset, took a deep breath, and felt much more relaxed.
Actually, she didn’t make plans with Jiang Baizhou for the evening because Jiang Baizhou had classes over at Nanda tonight, and he’d probably be back very late, with no ti to have dinner with her! The reason she said that earlier was just to decline.
Since it was still early, Cen Jin took a cab directly to Ms. Qin’s Ti Inn. There weren’t many custors in the shop, so Cen Jin helped tidy up the tables, placed her order, and then ate outside with Ms. Qin, casually bringing up the topic of having dinner together tomorrow night.
"Dinner? Why suddenly ntion having dinner together?" Ms. Qin wondered, eating while looking at her in confusion, "Tomorrow’s Saturday; Aunt Hui Zi and Uncle Jiang are also coming back, why not just eat at ho?"
"That’s not possible." Cen Jin retorted without thinking, then smiled broadly: "Tomorrow is a special day, plus I want to ntion sothing to you all, so this al has to be outside, and I’ve already booked the restaurant, can’t change that."
"Special day?" Ms. Qin’s eyes held a puzzled look: "What special day? Tomorrow’s only October 3rd, there’s no birthday!"
Seeing Ms. Qin pressing for details, Cen Jin was speechless and awkwardly smiled: "Co on, eat up, you’ll know what special day it is tomorrow!"
Ms. Qin shot her a glance, too lazy to ask further, and continued eating.
"By the way, which restaurant did you book? What ti?" After eating most of the al, Ms. Qin pulled a napkin to dab her mouth and looked up to ask.
"Yixiang Pavilion, seven o’clock."
"Yixiang Pavilion? Isn’t it difficult to get a reservation there?"
Cen Jin smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I booked it last week."
"Alright then, let’s go tomorrow!"
Cen Jin: "..."
She couldn’t help but feel that Ms. Qin was reluctantly agreeing just because of Yixiang Pavilion.

The next morning, Cen Jin was awakened by a phone call from Jiang Baizhou. Drowsily, she answered the call, and Jiang Baizhou heard her dreamy mumbles on the other end, his gaze softened, his tone light: "Not awake yet?"
"Mmm..." Cen Jin rubbed her eyes and mumbled a reply: "What ti is it?"
"It’s eleven thirty."
"Ah, eleven thirty?" Upon hearing this, Cen Jin’s eyes shot open, and she sat up, glancing at the cute table clock on the nightstand, seeing the hands pointed at ten thirty, she sighed: "No way, it’s only ten thirty! When did you develop the habit of misleading on the ti?"
"Did you forget what you promised last night?" Jiang Baizhou’s voice was leisurely, tinged with amusent.
"Hmm?" Cen Jin paused, suddenly recalling their chat on WeChat last night about going shopping to look at rings today. She slapped her forehead and chuckled awkwardly: "Oh... sorry, I slept through it, why didn’t you call earlier?"
"I saw you weren’t responding to ssages or coming to find , figured you weren’t awake yet, thought I’d let you sleep a bit more."
"Are we still going now?"
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, well rested."
"I’ll be waiting downstairs."
"Alright, give fifteen minutes, I’ll be right down."
