Translator: 549690339
“Senior, I forgot to ask you, are you taking a leave or skipping classes today?” Luo Ziling, whose mood had gradually calmed down, sipped his tea and looked at Yang Qingyin with a smile, “Today isn’t the weekend, and you should have classes this afternoon. Why didn’t you go?”
“I was just worrying for nothing,” Yang Qingyin curled her lips, “I was afraid that a certain junior might have been frightened by last night’s incident, so I wanted to comfort you in person. Unexpectedly, nothing happened, and you even turned misfortune into luck, receiving so much concern from beautiful women.”
“About last night’s incident, I am most grateful to you,” Luo Ziling said with slight shyness, “I couldn’t believe you would come to rescue me personally. Also, I’m really happy you asked me out for tea today.”
He was truly happy that Yang Qingyin cared about him so much.
Yang Qingyin didn’t say much, just smiled at him quietly.
At that moment, Luo Ziling’s phone rang, signaling an incoming call.
Looking at the caller ID, it was surprisingly Ouyang Huihui, and he decisively pressed to reject the call.
But Ouyang Huihui was stubborn and immediately called back.
Yang Qingyin’s eyes held a meaningful gaze as she watched Luo Ziling, a playful smile at the corner of her mouth.
Luo Ziling had no choice but to answer the call. As soon as the call connected, Ouyang Huihui’s voice, indignant and embarrassed, burst forth from the phone, “Luo Ziling, you jerk, why didn’t you answer my call?”
“I was busy with something!” Luo Ziling replied unkindly, then asked, “What do you want from me?”
“Just now my sister said that last night’s incident has been cleared up; it was Li Jiaqing playing tricks.” As she spoke, Ouyang Huihui’s tone softened, “Where are you? I want to talk to you about this. I want to know what you’re planning to do about it.”
“So it was him,” Luo Ziling felt a mix of anger and embarrassment, and said to Ouyang Huihui on the other end of the phone, “What kind of friends do you keep company with?”
“I know you didn’t attend the military training this afternoon, are you willing to meet up?” Ouyang Huihui’s voice also carried a hint of anger and embarrassment.
“I’m not free now,” Luo Ziling outright refused, “I still have things to do, important things. Alright, that’s it for now, I’m hanging up.”
With that, he hung up the phone unceremoniously.
After hanging up, seeing Yang Qingyin looking at him with an odd expression, Luo Ziling felt somewhat embarrassed.
“That was Ouyang Huihui’s call,” he explained, “She said they’ve found out who was behind last night’s incident and wanted to know how I plan to handle it.”
“You should have agreed to meet with her, it’s an important matter,” Yang Qingyin said understandingly, “Last night’s incident was a big deal, and now that there’s a preliminary result, you should be concerned.”
Just then, Luo Ziling’s phone rang again. Picking it up, he saw the call was from Ouyang Feifei.
After hesitating for a bit, Luo Ziling still answered the call in front of Yang Qingyin.
“Just happened to pass by your school, if you’re free, come out for coffee,” Ouyang Feifei’s forever calm voice came through the phone once the call connected.
“Go ahead,” Yang Qingyin, sitting across from Luo Ziling, said softly with a smile, “It’s important.”
“Alright,” hearing Yang Qingyin say so, Luo Ziling thought for a moment, and didn’t reject Ouyang Feifei’s invitation, “Then suggest a place, I’ll come over in a bit.”
After giving the address of the cafe where they would meet, Ouyang Feifei hung up the phone.
“Let’s go, I won’t disturb your date with the sisters,” Yang Qingyin said as she stood up after Luo Ziling hung up. “I’ll head back for some beauty sleep. How about, when I wake up, you treat me to a big meal?”
As Yang Qingyin stood up to leave, Luo Ziling couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed, but after hearing her say this, he felt relieved.
“Alright then, after the senior sister has had enough sleep, I’ll call you to treat you to a big meal.” He also got up.
After walking Yang Qingyin to the school’s side gate and into the campus, Luo Ziling bid her goodbye and left for his appointment with Ouyang Feifei.
But just as he bid farewell to Yang Qingyin and was heading in the direction of the cafe Ouyang Feifei had mentioned, he unexpectedly ran into Ouyang Huihui.
Wearing a baseball cap and with sunglasses perched on her nose, Ouyang Huihui approached Luo Ziling and it wasn’t until she was right in front of him that he recognized her.
“You asshole, you said you were busy,” Ouyang Huihui burst out angrily upon seeing Luo Ziling. “You actually lied to me!”
“Your sister called me to discuss some matters, I had no choice but to cancel my other commitments and meet with your sister!” Fearing that Ouyang Huihui would make a scene in public, Luo Ziling could only tell her the truth.
“I asked you for a serious talk, and you rejected me rudely. My sister calls you, and you scurry over?” After hearing Luo Ziling’s explanation, not only did Ouyang Huihui not calm down, she became even more furious. “You’ve gone too far, what do you think I am?”
She was very angry. She had called Luo Ziling before Ouyang Feifei did, but this jerk refused to meet with her; Ouyang Feifei invites him, and he goes without a second thought. With such unequal treatment, of course she was furious.
“How about we go together?” Having rejected Ouyang Huihui’s invitation but accepting Ouyang Feifei’s offer to have coffee, Luo Ziling also felt a bit guilty, so he immediately changed his mind.
Ouyang Huihui thought for a moment and eventually, still huffing angrily, followed Luo Ziling.
Upon arriving at the cafe Ouyang Feifei had mentioned, Wang Qing was already waiting outside. Seeing Ouyang Huihui following Luo Ziling, she appeared somewhat surprised but didn’t ask any questions.
Ouyang Feifei was also surprised to see her own sister come with Luo Ziling, but she didn’t ask anything, simply looking at Ouyang Huihui with a strange look in her eyes.
Ouyang Huihui quickly explained, “Sis, I ran into Luo Ziling at the school gate and knew he was coming to meet you, so I followed. This matter concerns me, and I think it’s necessary to talk to him about it.”
Ouyang Feifei didn’t show any reaction but turned to look at Luo Ziling, “What do you plan to do about last night’s matter?”
Luo Ziling had already taken a good look at Ouyang Feifei’s outfit for the day and really, every time he saw this woman, he was amazed.
Her attire, though not dramatically different, was very pleasing and appealing. She knew very well how to showcase her strengths in front of others.
Luo Ziling took a good look at Ouyang Feifei, his gaze evaluative. Ouyang Feifei looked back at him unabashedly, her eyes void of any ripples.
“What do you think, how should I deal with this matter?” Luo Ziling hadn’t actually decided how to resolve the issue, so he instinctively asked Ouyang Feifei.
“I think, being generous and not dwelling on the matter is the best course of action?”
“What?” Luo Ziling found Ouyang Feifei’s suggestion incredible. “That’s impossible!”
