"Calling me at this time, what’s up?"
Shen Jue knew that Rong Qingqing was currently staying at a hotel with Shen Qiao.
Shen Jue was well aware of what happened to Shen Qiao at school, so his first reaction was whether Rong Qingqing wanted to talk about Shen Qiao being with her.
"Hmm..." Rong Qingqing was a bit stuck.
She had promised Shen Qiao not to mention his situation, so she definitely couldn’t say anything.
However, since she already made the call, if she just said goodnight and hung up, she’d have to coax this dog of a man Shen Jue again when she returned tomorrow, right?
Not wanting to coax him, it’s better to find a topic to talk about, say a few sentences, and then naturally say goodnight, that’s the best way.
Rong Qingqing’s mind spun around, thinking back and forth, she realized she and Shen Jue had no common ground, the only thing she could think of to talk about was this.
"Let me tell you, I ran into that handsome beggar again just now!" Rong Qingqing’s tone became particularly cheerful as she spoke.
"Handsome beggar?" Shen Jue didn’t get it, "Who are you talking about?"
"That beggar in Lake Heart Park wearing a watch worth tens of thousands! Didn’t Lin Bufan say what his name was again? It seemed to have the word ’handsome’ in it too!"
Rong Qingqing added, "The beggar who looks quite handsome! We even met him at Rong Jiaojiao’s engagement party!"
Now Shen Jue knew who she was talking about.
"You call him a handsome beggar? You think he looks pretty good?" Shen Jue couldn’t agree, "Rong Qingqing, with your taste, you still study art?"
Shen Jue sneered, "Even Lin Bufan looks more presentable than him."
"Lin Bufan is also good-looking, I never said Lin Bufan wasn’t handsome." Rong Qingqing explained, "But the handsome beggar looks good too."
Well, Shen Jue’s sneer became more apparent.
"I only said Lin Bufan looks presentable, I didn’t say he’s handsome." Shen Jue’s tone was unfriendly, "Did you call me just to talk about this? I don’t want to discuss such trivial matters, I’m hanging up."
"Hey! Don’t!" Rong Qingqing almost jumped up, "You..."
This isn’t good-looking, that isn’t good-looking, what’s up with that?
Are men really this picky about how other men look?
But Rong Qingqing also confirmed that she and Shen Jue really had nothing to talk about.
After thinking over and over, Rong Qingqing had to find something else to say, she asked Shen Jue, "Can you check if the thing you bought for me has been shipped?"
Unexpectedly, Shen Jue replied quickly.
Rong Qingqing felt Shen Jue was dismissive, full of unwillingness, "You didn’t even look, how do you know it’s not shipped?"
"Rong Qingqing..." Shen Jue called out to Rong Qingqing.
The tone was indifferent, without a ripple.
Upon hearing this tone, Rong Qingqing inexplicably, and quickly, understood what Shen Jue’s words meant.
"Alright, alright, not shipped, not shipped." She who understands the times is a wise woman.
Rong Qingqing strongly agrees with this saying.
"Well, good night." Shen Jue now realized Rong Qingqing was just making stuff up, so he blandly said these four words and directly hung up the phone.
"Completed the daily task of saying goodnight, life extension by 5 hours, remaining life 12 hours."
"Received Shen Jue’s active goodnight, got an extra reward, life extension by 5 hours, remaining life 17 hours."
Hearing the System’s continuous broadcast twice, Rong Qingqing felt utterly bad.
It’s not that she minded the extra five hours of life, but rather...
