This message made Li Qiang quite happy, so he quickly stuffed the cigarette butt into his mouth and then started typing on his phone with both hands. He said he was going to have dinner tonight with Minister Meng from the External Relations Department, who is quite nice and even found us part-time jobs that can earn ninety yuan a day.
"Oh." Lu Lin thought Li Qiang was contacting her for something important, but after all that, it was just these messy words. Actually, Lu Lin was a bit confused, hadn't she made herself very clear?
It was clear, but that was in the past.
Originally, Li Qiang didn't expect a response when he messaged Lu Lin, but when she replied, he couldn't help but overthink, wondering if it was because Zhou Yuwen was dating Zheng Yanyan.
Lu Lin had wanted to pursue Zhou Yuwen, but since he was dating someone, Lu Lin would definitely feel bad, but after feeling bad, she would think that Li Qiang wasn't too bad either.
That's why she replied to his message.
Before, when he sent messages to Lu Lin, he would send them in the morning and get a reply in the evening, but now Lu Lin replied after just a few minutes. Could it be that his heartfelt confession had had an effect?
Look, sure enough, just after he sent the message, Lu Lin replied.
Although it was just an "Oh," Li Qiang was still very satisfied.
So he continued to chat with Lu Lin, "Zhou Yuwen hasn't come back yet."
"Zheng Yanyan hasn't gone back either, right?"
Happy, Li Qiang called out to Chang Hao in the room, "Brother Hao, I'm chatting with Linlin. Linlin told me Zheng Yanyan hasn't gone back to the dorm yet. She's probably having a good time with Zhou Yuwen!"
Chang Hao frowned upon hearing this, but then suddenly thought of something, "Why are you still chatting with Lu Lin?"
"Why can't I chat? Can't we be friends?" Li Qiang grinned.
This made Chang Hao feel even worse. Damn it, not only had his unrequited love failed, but that damn Li Qiang was still chatting with Lu Lin?
"Hey, Linlin, you think Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan aren't going to come back tonight, do you (gritting teeth)?"
"Ah?" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Lu Lin said, "Yanyan is back."
This unexpectedly left Li Qiang at a loss for words, and after thinking for a while, he sent Lu Lin a message, "Zhou Yuwen still hasn't come back."
Then there was no reply from Lu Lin.
Zheng Yanyan, back at the dorm, seemed a bit off. Usually, whenever she returned, it was noisy, fussing about this and that, but today she came back with a cold face.
Without saying a word, she took her pajamas and went to the bathroom.
Zheng Yanyan's pants surely needed to be changed, and part of the reason she left in such a hurry was that Zhou Yuwen's actions had indeed angered her—it felt like Zhou Yuwen just wanted to sleep with her.
Another reason was that it was the first time Zheng Yanyan felt so out of control; another reason her face was expressionless was that, if Zhou Yuwen had looked closely, he would have noticed that there were water stains on the side of Zheng Yanyan's thigh.
Fortunately, no one noticed. Zheng Yanyan took a quick shower in the dorm's bathroom, changed into clean clothes, and after about twenty minutes of this routine, she still wasn't in a hurry to leave the bathroom but squatted on the toilet, picking up her phone, thinking that it had been twenty minutes and Zhou Yuwen should have messaged her by now.
She didn't want to break up with Zhou Yuwen, just wanted to cool him off for twenty minutes to make him realize his mistake.
To her surprise, when she checked her phone, she found that Zhou Yuwen hadn't messaged her.
In that moment, Zheng Yanyan felt somewhat empty inside.
