Shi Yao walked to the front desk and reported the number of tables that [ year of desolation ] had told her yesterday. After which, the waiter immediately led her to a private room on the second floor.
She was the only one who arrived. As the scheduled time was from 7 to 8, Shi Yao wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, she took out her phone and browsed through the internet for gossip, patiently waiting.
..
A second after Shi Yao left the house, Lin Jiage took out his phone and contacted desolate year.
Using the excuse that he was bored on the train, he pulled desolate year to play a few games. At around 6:20, Lin Jiage heard [ desolate year ] say that his phone ran out of battery and he couldn’t play anymore.
What Lin Jiage wanted wasn’t just for his phone to run out of battery, but for his phone to automatically turn off when he ran out of battery..
So, after logging out of the game, Lin Jiage went to wechat and began sending [ year of desolation ] a message.
At 6:30 am, when he was supposed to arrive at the station, Lin Jiage connected to the voice changer and gave [ year of desolation ] a wechat voice call.
[ year of desolation ] thought that Lin Jiage had arrived, so when he picked up the call.., he hurriedly replied, “Little Cutie, I’m at the station. My phone is about to run out of battery, so I’ll be waiting for you at the 7th entrance of Zone C. When you arrive, come straight here to find me…”
Lin Jiage didn’t say a word until [ year of desolation ] finished his explanation, only then did he speak up, “Brother Nian, I didn’t buy a high-speed train ticket, but an ordinary train ticket. I just found out that I’ll have to make way for another train in the afternoon, and it’ll be delayed by about an hour.”
After which, Lin jiage hurriedly added, “Brother Nian, I’m really sorry. I didn’t notice any of this in the afternoon. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let you leave so early…”
[ desolate year ] : “It’s fine, but little cutie, I won’t be able to reply to your messages later. I didn’t bring my charger with me, or else we wouldn’t have been able to contact you when you arrived.”
Lin jiage replied with a “Alright”before hanging up the call. He picked up his laptop and began working.
About an hour later, he pretended to have arrived at his destination and sent [ desolate year ] another voice call.
“Brother Nian, I’m already here…”
“I’m on my way out of the station… but I seem to have taken a wrong turn… er, I ran into the subway. Wait for me, I’ll go look for the exit C that you told me to go to, exit 7…”
“What? Brother Nian, your phone’s battery is already less than 1% ? Alright, Alright, I’ll remember that. I’ll go look for you at exit 7. I’m a little lacking in directions, so it might take a little longer. Please wait patiently…”
Before Lin Jiage could finish his words, the wechat voice call automatically ended.
Lin jiage knew that desolate Nian’s phone had run out of battery, so it had automatically turned off.
He slowly tossed his phone aside and took a look at the time. Then, he confidently continued working on the project while thinking about how Shi Yao would come back in a huff after her appointment was canceled, just how should he console her..
..
At eight o’clock, seeing that no one was coming over, Shi Yao took out her phone and called her classmate, Tian Tian. After picking up the call, Shi Yao found out that Tian Tian had something on, so she had rejected Huang Nian yesterday and wouldn’t be able to come for dinner today.
After hanging up, Shi Yao went to the game to contact Huang Nian.
She sent him a few messages, but he didn’t reply.
Time slowly passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already 8:30 pm. The waiter came over to ask Shi Yao if she wanted to order..
