Zhang Shishi read the sentence and, for some reason, tears suddenly welled up.
Shao Chen was always so considerate; she rarely saw him lose his temper.
He was forever as charming as an orchid standing tall and handsome, effortlessly grasping her likes and her weaknesses.
Zhang Shishi wiped away her tears, [No.]
Shao Chen: [It’s so late, you’re still awake?]
Zhang Shishi: [Doing homework.]
Shao Chen: [Is there anything you don’t understand?]
Zhang Shishi: [...]
Shao Chen: [If there is, you can send it to me, and I’ll explain it to you.]
Suddenly, Zhang Shishi smiled, this man was truly...
For some reason, perhaps his earlier greeting had struck the most vulnerable part of her heart, she actually sent him a photo of her math problem.
Shao Chen was drinking with Tang Haolang and He Feng, he didn’t drink much and didn’t let the hostesses get close to him.
He looked at the math problem Zhang Shishi sent, walked to the balcony, and dialed a voice call over.
Zhang Shishi hesitated for a moment but still answered; she could hear it was a bit noisy on his end.
"Grab a pen and a piece of scratch paper, I’ll explain." Shao Chen said directly.
"Okay." Zhang Shishi picked up the pen.
Half an hour later, Shao Chen licked his dry lips, "Did you understand?"
Zhang Shishi was silent.
He knew she didn’t.
He couldn’t help but chuckle, "I’ll explain it to you face-to-face tomorrow morning."
She pouted, tomorrow morning? Doesn’t he have work?
"I’ll pick you up for school and explain it on the way, then I’ll go to work." Shao Chen was in a great mood since she didn’t refuse.
Zhang Shishi mumbled an agreement, "Then get some rest tonight."
"Okay. Drink more hot water!" he said, "I can hear something’s wrong with your throat."
Zhang Shishi knew how observant he was, yet she still insisted, "There’s nothing wrong with me. I’m going to sleep now, not talking to you."
Shao Chen laughed, "Alright, goodnight."
He listened to her hang up before he ended the call.
Standing on the balcony in the cold wind, his heart was exceptionally warm.
When he returned from singing K-TV and drinking, ready to leave, Tang Haolang teased him, "What’s up? Meeting a hot girl at the hotel?"
Shao Chen chuckled, "Meeting Zhou Gong to sleep."
"C’mon! Are you even young? Not even midnight, and you’re going to sleep?" Tang Haolang joked at him.
Shao Chen ignored him, already impatient to see Zhang Shishi the next morning.
After leaving the KTV Noche City, he went to a nearby pharmacy to buy some medicine for clearing internal heat, and also bought chrysanthemum and luohan fruit to give to Zhang Shishi tomorrow.
"Hey handsome, wanna try our new product? Super thin!" The cashier handed him a small box.
Shao Chen: "...I don’t need it."
"Young people don’t need it at night?" The cashier was a young guy too, "You look young too, I’ll give this to you for free. If you find it good, buy from me next time."
Shao Chen didn’t want it, but the cashier insisted and stuffed it into the bag with the medicine.
After paying, Shao Chen placed the medicine, chrysanthemum, and luohan fruit on the passenger seat, and drove home.
He didn’t bring them into the house since he would give them to Zhang Shishi the next morning.
The next morning, before seven.
Shao Chen arrived at the bustling urban village where Zhang Shishi lived.
He wondered if Zhang Shishi was up yet.
