Best to have met you

Chapter 9.4-Know Whether It is Cold or Warm by Oneself

Can’t you not go?”

Can’t you not go? Can’t you not go? …… she opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling under the dim indoor lighting. She stared in a daze and her whole face was slowly becoming hot. It really was a dream or …… An Ning was uncertain, so she was extremely dejected.

By the time, the sun shone through the dormitory curtains, she heard Mao Mao who was sleeping on the lower bunk groping about to go to toilet.

“What time is it?”

Mao Mao was startled: “You are awake ah? Let me see —— quarter past six.”

When the phone rang, the noise woke Zhao Yang up, “Who is so wicked ah, disturbing people's sleep early in the morning!”

An Ning black line (was annoyed): “Seems like my mobile phone.”

Mao Mao has already come out from the toilet and tossed the phone to Meow Meow. An Ning looked at the unfamiliar phone number and hesitated before picking it up. The other party immediately uttered sincerely “I’m sorry”.

An Ning cannot recognize the voice: “Who are you?”

There was a few seconds of silent, “Jiang Xu.”

“Oh, what’s up?”

“An Ning, I’m very sorry. I did not know about this until now. Did she hurt you? This girl is a junior schoolmate who I’ve counselled before, with somewhat rebellious behaviour——”

An Ning coughed softly once and was forced to interrupt him: “Senior brother Jiang, I am sorry but all my roommates are still sleeping. Can we talk later?”

“……”

With the other party’s tacit consent, An Ning hung up the phone. At this moment, Zhao Yang who was sleeping opposite of her said, “Some people are skillful and at ease in all kinds of social circle, but this does not mean other people are not outstanding. It can only be said reality needs a little slyness and flattery.”

“I know.”

For the rest of the day, there were things that more than one can attend to (a Chinese idiom meaning overwhelmed). An Ning’s mind will occasionally go blank. However, she must remain clear-headed when she is doing experiment.

Colleague Jia Jia brought in a cup of Jilin black tea, overflowing the room with its aroma. When An Ning looked up, she saw Jia Jia sitting on her desktop. She has already put the tea cup in her hand.

“Thank you.”

“When you did not come yesterday, we discussed about you. Such a cute and graceful girl but with a really mysterious private life.” After saying that, she made a clicking sound with her tongue.

“……” An Ning sighed: “What do you want to know?”

Jia Jia leaned over, “Do you’ve his private photos? Half or completely naked also can.”

As it turned out, any human being will also be attracted to dazzling stuff, including her. An Ning replied. “No.”

Jia Jia stood up, clasped her heart with both of her hands and pretended to pace back and forth, “Such a pity. Think of his domineering appearance when wearing suits. Later, look at his half-naked chest. Wow, the disparity can absolutely make a person be infatuated.”
