"Laosan mentioned before that his wife’s family gave them a sum of money, and together with his own earnings, they bought an apartment in Capital City. It’s a bit cramped, but it’s livable."
"I’ll write a letter to Laosan to ask."
Captain Zhao acted swiftly, and the very next day he had someone carry a letter to the town post office to be mailed.
In Capital City, Zhao Tianlei was still unaware that his father had mailed him a letter.
Ever since they made up, Zhao Tianlei hadn’t been as busy as before, so he would often go to Tsing University to see Yun Xiaoxiao, and they would have lunch together.
"Your school has its own cafeteria. Why do you come to ours?" Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at him. These past few days, whenever he had free time, he would come over, despite the distance between their two schools.
"The food in your school cafeteria is tasty."
Do you even believe your own excuse?
"You’re not busy anymore?"
Until not long ago, you were too busy to touch the ground with your feet, yet now you suddenly have free time?
"I’m not busy for the time being, not looking to expand for now."
He wanted to buy an electronics factory, but it wasn’t as cheap as a clothing factory—it required a considerable amount of money.
Yun Xiaoxiao did not engage in a discussion about work with him.
"Give me the fatty meat, eat the lean," Zhao Tianlei reached out to take the fatty pieces from Yun Xiaoxiao’s lunchbox and swapped them with the lean meat from his own.
"Spring plowing started at home."
Yun Xiaoxiao was well aware of spring plowing—it was really busy, with planting rice seedlings, sowing corn, sweet potatoes, and a variety of vegetables.
"It will be busy until the end of May."
Some people watched this scene with curiosity.
"Who is that male student? Which department is he from? How come he’s with that computer student, Yun?"
"I heard that he’s Student Yun’s boyfriend, but I’m not sure if it’s true. I haven’t seen him around before."
"Student Yun has a boyfriend?"
"Just because we haven’t heard about it doesn’t mean it’s not true."
Yun Xiaoxiao had no idea they were being discussed.
"Don’t you have classes this afternoon?"
"I do, there’s one more class in the afternoon. How about we go out for dinner tonight?"
"Why do you suddenly want to go out to eat?"
They weren’t living alone after all. Going out for a dinner date, what would the family think about them?
"It’s been a long while since I had dinner outside with my wife."
But Yun Xiaoxiao still declined, "Stop letting your imagination get the better of you. We’ve already made up, and the whole photo affair is behind us. You don’t need to lower yourself to please me."
Zhao Tianlei corrected her, "Wife, I’m not trying to please you, I genuinely want to treat you well. Ever since I came to Capital City, I’ve been busy all the time. Now, I can temporarily hand off some of my responsibilities to others, freeing up more time to spend with you. When things get busy again and I don’t have as much time to accompany you, I will regret not spending these moments with you."
His words were without fault.
Right now, things were still low-key.
In the future, once his company and group start to expand, it will really be non-stop traveling and busy to the point of not having a moment’s rest.
The decision-makers at a company can’t afford to be idle after all.
"So, how about we go for Western cuisine this weekend?"
However, I’ve heard that this restaurant requires a certain dress code. I wonder if that’s true.
Zhao Tianlei had classes in the afternoon. After lunch, he chatted with Yun Xiaoxiao for a while before leaving.
Early in the morning, Zhao Tianlei sent Da Bao and Xiao Bao to Elder Wu’s place. He dressed in a shirt, over which he wore a coat, and a pair of leather shoes on his feet.
As for Yun Xiaoxiao, she wore a dress paired with boots, a cashmere coat, and carried a bag in her hand.
