  The more she thought about it, the more worried Xia Wei felt. She tried to find comfort in the group.

  Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: But he's only gone for a month, so it should be okay... right?

  Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: ... When I first started this project, the project manager also told me that it would only last a month [smile] this sort of thing is hardly certain, deadlines can always be extended [smile]

  Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: Eight Treasures is quite right. One month quickly becomes two, two months becomes six, half a year becomes a year ... and you two just got together, too, so the relationship is still pretty unstable. It's a bad foundation to start on.

  Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: ..........

  Was this revenge for her previous extravagant displays of love?

  Invincible Little Sweetie: Don't scare her, I don't think Mr. Jiang is a bad guy. There should be no problem.

  Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: I too thought Li Si was a reliable man at the start, but then he proved to me with his actions that believing in a man is the same as believing that pigs climb trees.

  Invincible Little Sweetie: ...

  Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: And Mr. Jiang's in a much better place than Li Si [digging nose]

  Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: ... I've decided to leave this group to protect my peace of mind :)

  She didn't really leave the group, of course. She just blocked the group chat, and then stared at her messages, waiting for a reply she hadn't yet received.

  Why would an uptight, rigid man like Mr. Jiang suddenly think about giving her gifts? Was he feeling guilty? Had he done something bad?

  Xia Wei: "..."

  She knew she couldn't continue thinking like this. The two of them were together now and should trust each other. She ached to make a phone call and have Jiang Zhi Zhou reassure her, but if he couldn't even return a text message then he must be very busy and she was afraid of disturbing him.

  Forget it, she would say hello to him that night.

  Ever since Jiang Zhi Zhou left for S City, he would call Xia Wei every night before going to bed. Xia Wei took a shower, watching the clock. Surely it was almost time for Mr. Jiang's phone call. The call still had not come after waiting a little longer, so she opened the texting app and reread the message he had sent her that afternoon.

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: So besides me, which suitors have you told about eye cream and face-slimming massagers? :)

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: I'm a little busy today. Let's chat tonight.

  Xia Wei snorted. Well, since he had splurged on a very expensive eye cream and massager, she would wait a while.

  She opened their walking campaign and looked at today's rankings. To her chagrin, she found that Mr. Jiang, who had always hovered around 3,000 steps, had leapt up the ranks today with a total of more than 9,000 steps!

  Xia Wei could not calm down. She thought of the chat in the girlfriend group today, and her eyebrows could not help but wrinkle in worry. She would call him back.

  The phone rang a few times before being picked up by Jiang Zhi Zhou: "Xia Wei?"

  "It's me." Xia Wei asked him, "Are you free now?"
