Chapter 66: Plans (2)
It was just a simple ssage: [Have you found a place to stay yet?]
Liu Kaiyan’s throat caught for a mont, as if it was blocked by sothing. Very slowly, he started to type.
[En, a small hotel. A single room, pretty clean.]
Right after he sent the text, he imdiately regretted it. It sounded too deliberate. After all, she didn’t ask about the details.
Fortunately, Su Tian didn’t continue on this topic, and replied with just one line: [When it’s the weekend, I’ll accompany you to find a house. It looks like there are rooms to rent near where I live.]
Liu Kaiyan replied after a few monts: [Okay.]
[Oh yeah, because of Kaka, our store has had amazing business ah, my mom is so busy and still can’t do everything by herself.]
Right after, she sent another text:
[My mom has been looking for soone to help out for a while, but hasn’t been able to find a suitable person this whole ti.]
Liu Kaiyan knew she wasn’t done speaking, so he deleted the words he had just typed and waited for her to continue.
[My mom wanted to ask if you could temporarily stop your daily cake order, at least until we find a new hire…]
Liu Kaiyan couldn’t even read the rest of the text, tears blurring his vision almost instantly. Hands shaking, he quickly answered:
[Okay. I’m going to clean my room and sleep first. Good night.]
After sending it, he didn’t dare to look at her reply. He turned over his phone and covered his eyes with his arm.
He had saved so money from over the years. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to leave ho so simply. However, now that he had left ho, he had no source of inco. Sooner or later, he would run out of money.
Give him things for free? He would never agree.
As for the royalties Su Tian wanted to give him, he wouldn’t take them even if he died of starvation.
Presumably, Su Tian already knew of his thoughts. Thus, afraid of hurting his self-esteem, she used the shop being busy as an excuse to end his cake order.
Tian Tian… Tian Tian….
Just by reading her na, his heart felt sweet and warm to the greatest degree.
….
Since the ti he last made money, Xi Yun had been looking forward to going to the amusent park with Su Tian.
It was so difficult to wait until Friday and the day of, he ran ho as soon as class ended. But, when he got to the dessert shop and saw that only Auntie He was there, busying about, his brain finally caught up to his feet. How annoying! Jie jie was a high schooler and wasn’t out of school yet.
All the energy he had imdiately dissipated, like an octopus’s tentacles retracting after touching a smoldering hot iron.
He Qingwan gave the cake in her hands to the custor in front of her and looked up, coincidentally seeing Xi Yun with his head down, standing by the door. Busy, she waved to call him in.
Xi Yun let out a small sound, before dragging his backpack to go help He Qingwan.
With He Qingwan packaging and Xi Yun working the cash register they moved much more quickly.
“Who bullied you? Why’re you wrinkling your little face?” He Qingwan asked.
Xi Yun didn’t answer imdiately and continued to give change to the custors. Finally, he mumbled and asked, “How co jie jie isn’t back yet?”
He Qingwan laughed. So it was because of Tian Tian – it looked like Xi Yun had basically beco her little shadow.
She replied: “Jie jie doesn’t get out of school until 9.”
“Oh~” Xi Yun, this little young master, let out a sigh, “High school students are really so pitiful. Not only do they have to attend classes until so late at night, they even have classes on Saturday.”
In order to improve the college enrollnt rate, Luo Cheng High School required students to attend classes on Saturdays. They only had one day of rest, Sunday.
When Su Tian returned that night, she had just opened the door when she heard Xi Yun say to He Qingwan, “….. it’s already 9. Why hasn’t jie jie co ho yet?”
He Qingwan: “Soon. Don’t be so impatient, ah.”
