Ouyang Yifeng walked out of the convenience store, and his mother’s call ca through. Ouyang Yifeng’s gaze stayed on the phone screen for a few seconds, his brows furrowed. He hadn’t returned to the capital for so long, and his mother’s call was probably to demand an explanation.
Ouyang Yifeng sighed helplessly and finally pressed the answer button. As expected, as soon as he answered, his mother’s scolding voice ca from the other end of the line, "Where have you been fooling around these days? You never co ho."
"Mom, what do you an by fooling around? I’ve been very well-behaved lately. I’m staying here in E City to study hard. You know the college entrance exam is only a few months away. If I go back to the capital, those childhood friends will keep coming to find , how can I focus on studying?"
Ouyang Yifeng’s ntion of "studying" rendered Ye Anhao speechless.
"Well, you have to co back for the New Year, right? Your dad and I are going back tomorrow. Otherwise, your grandpa will definitely keep complaining."
Ouyang Yifeng flipped through the calendar, and sure enough, it was already the 27th of the lunar month. He couldn’t help but say, "Okay, I’ll co back tomorrow."
Though he couldn’t stop worrying about Ye Anhao, he still had to return ho for the New Year. Otherwise, his grandpa would say, "None of you return ho, are you waiting until I’m dead to co back?"
Before leaving, Ouyang Yifeng specifically went to the convenience store where Ye Anhao worked. When he arrived at the store, Ye Anhao was busy as could be. He waited for quite a while before she had a mont of free ti.
Seeing Ouyang Yifeng, Ye Anhao was a bit surprised. He usually wouldn’t co at this ti.
Ouyang Yifeng approached the counter, lowered his eyes, and gave her a deep look, "I’m going back ho for a few days during the New Year, so I probably won’t be around."
"Why would it matter to if you’re going back ho?" Ye Anhao said lightly.
"How could it not matter? I’m your future boyfriend. Won’t you miss if you don’t see for a few days?"
"Who would miss you?" Ye Anhao rolled her eyes at him, but in Ouyang Yifeng’s eyes, there was a hint of playfulness in her gaze.
"Alright, alright, you won’t miss ." Ouyang Yifeng smiled and then said to her, "Hold out your hand."
"Why?"
"Just hold it out when I tell you to, why ask so much?"
"I’m afraid you’ll play a trick on ." Despite her words, Ye Anhao still extended her hand as he said.
Suddenly, her palm felt heavier. Ye Anhao instinctively looked down and saw an exquisitely packaged paper box in her hand.
Ye Anhao recognized the logo on the box. This brand of phone had been heavily advertised on TV recently, and this particular model was said to be extrely expensive.
"This is for you. It’s ti to replace that old phone of yours."
"I don’t want it." Feeling undeserving of the gift, she couldn’t accept it.
"I’m giving it to you, so you have to take it. Ye Anhao, you helped a lot for my top fifty ranking in the finals. Consider this phone as your reward."
"I’m a paid tutor, and I did take your money. So I don’t want this reward. I think my old phone is just fine. It can make calls and send ssages; I don’t need any other functions."
Ouyang Yifeng couldn’t argue with her and eventually gave up. He checked the ti; the flight would take off in two hours, and it would take so ti to get to the airport. If he didn’t leave now, he’d be late.
But before leaving, he was still a bit worried and solemnly said, "Ye Anhao, if you encounter any problems while I’m gone, just call , okay?"
"What problems could I have?"
"Alright, you won’t have any problems." Ouyang Yifeng also hoped that Ye Anhao wouldn’t face any issues while he was away.
Ouyang Yifeng arrived in the capital in the afternoon, just in ti for the evening reunion dinner. Although the Ouyang family had rarely gathered over the years, they still maintained the childhood tradition. The 28th at Uncle’s house, the 29th at his house, and New Year’s Eve at Grandpa’s house.
Despite the generational gap, Ouyang Yifeng and Ouyang Hao shared a similar personality and had always gotten along well since childhood.
