"Everyone will have a bad day like that. Let him have so space for now, and don't bother him too much."
"But he is also easily irritated. The other day, I saw him speak on the phone, and he exploded. After that, he told to leave first because he wanted to close the cafe early. He never did that before!"
Li Caiyi recalled when she heard him and Shao Junfei argue and pondered whether it was because of the annual party again?
Shao Junfei seed very adamant in making his brother go to this event, while the said brother refused with all his might.
"Xiaoyi, do you know sothing about this? I think he is in trouble."
"Why are you asking ? I never talked to Jingfei other than about work nowadays. You should try asking Jingfei instead."
"If he told , do you think I'd ask you? You seem to be thinking of sothing just now. Spill the tea!"
Li Chunhua gazed at her sharply while folding her arms. "Let tell you that I won't stop pestering you until you tell everything. We have nights to spend together, so you can tell slowly."
She must be really curious if she went so far as to threaten her like this. With her attitude like this, how could Li Caiyi not have any idea about her relationship with Shao Jingfei?
"Stop looking at like that. You scared . I'll tell you, okay? This is just my guess so take it with a grain of salt."
Li Chunhua smiled triumphantly before leaning her body forward. "I'm listening."
"I think this has sothing to do with her brother. The other day…."
Li Caiyi slowly filled Li Chunhua about the situation. She silently listened until the end before speaking thoughtfully.
"Hm, so that's the reason. I never knew his brother was working in the sa company. He never told anything."
"He doesn't tell anyone. I just found it out by coincidence. His brother doesn't seem to be a bad person, but we'll never know the inside story."
"Yeah. But running away like this won't solve his problem. His brother won't stop pestering him if he doesn't go."
Li Caiyi shrugged. "That's his family's internal problem. I don't think we should get involved in it.
Li Chunhua didn't respond and looked deep in thought. After a few monts, she spoke again. "Say, do you think I can also attend that annual party?"
"Huh? Why do you want to go?"
"Just because. I'm curious why Jingfei wants to avoid it so much."
"Don't treat this matter lightly. Jingfei probably doesn't like an outsider to ddle in his business."
"I'm not ddling. I'm trying to help him here!"
Li Caiyi shook her head helplessly. She stayed corrected; Li Chunhua still had a long way to go.
"Putting aside the fact that Jingfei never actually asked for your help, you can't attend that annual party because only employees and those contracted under the company can go."
"Tsk. No fun."
Sure enough, she wanted to go there just for fun. Li Caiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
***
Days went on peacefully after that. Li Chunhua had been staying over for almost a week. In that period, Li Caiyi didn't receive any other harassnt from her stalker.
Those people were probably planning sothing again, but for now, she decided to enjoy the temporary peace she had. Living with Li Chunhua proved to be very beneficial because Li Caiyi could finally finish her howork with her help.
Her sister would talk non-stop sotis, and it was draining to keep up with her, but aside from that, there was no other inconvenience.
"Xiaoyi, I need to go out after this, so you don't have to wait for lunch with ."
"Where are you going?" Li Caiyi stared at her sister's outfit, which wasn't as casual today. She looked like she was about to go on a date.
"I just have sothing to do. I will be back before night so let's eat dinner together, okay?"
"Tell if anything happens. Your condition is better, but you are still prone to collapsing. Don't force yourself."
"En. I'll be going then."
Li Chunhua walked out of her sister's apartnt and sighed in relief when she finally was outside. Thank goodness her sister didn't probe further.
"Okay, ti to search for more information." Li Chunhua clenched her hand into a fist determinedly.
Using a taxi only took her 20 minutes before she arrived at the cinema. She had a promise with soone to et up here.
Li Chunhua looked around, and she imdiately spotted a tall person in the middle of the crowd. That guy was her target today.
Pulling the corner of her mouth to form her signature lovely smile, Li Chunhua approached him with a wave. "Sorry, I'm late. Did I make you wait for long?"
The guy's na was Lu Zheng, and he was one of Li Chunhua's admirers.
He was so nervous while waiting and even thought that she was probably joking when she said she wanted to go to a movie with him. But his heart soared once he saw her co to their appointed place with such a pretty get-up.
"No. I have just arrived here myself. You look pretty today. No, I an you usually are, but you look gorgeous today."
Li Chunhua pretended to look bashful. "Why, thank you. I spent quite so ti on my appearance today. I wanted to make so effort since I will go out with you."
Lu Zheng's eyes sparkled. "Can I call you Chunhua? I'm happy to hear you dress up for . Oh, I already bought the tickets."
"What? You shouldn't have. I'm the one who invited you here, after all. Uh, wait. Let pay for mine."
Li Chunhua opened her bag and was about to take out her wallet, but Lu Zhen put his hand on top of hers to stop her. He deliberately let his hand linger longer than it should be, making her want to slap his hand away.
But she still needed to coax so information from him. As much as she wanted to stomp on his feet, she had to hold it in and pretend to be flustered.
