“I am outside of your school right now,” said Huo Chengming all of a sudden.
Zhong Yuhuan was stunned a little and said, “How come you visited my school all of a sudden?” Having said that, she thought she knew why. Huo Chengming must have learned some tricks about surprise visits somewhere and wanted to pleasantly surprise her at her school.
“We came to visit,” said Huo Chengming, then he added in a dulled voice, “Li Jinyuan is here with me as well.”
Zhong Yuhuan didn’t know what to say to that. “You are both outside of my school right now?”
“Mm.”
“Welp. Guess you will just have to return to where you came from,” said Zhong Yuhuan innocently.
“Mm.”
He sounded blue over the phone so Zhong Yuhuan asked, “What do you like me to bring back for the two of you on my way back?”
“There’s no need,” said Huo Chengming, his tone much more relieved than earlier.
It looked like all she had to do to appease him was to say she’d buy him stuff.
Each of them was getting easier to appease than the previous one!
Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but sigh.
“It’s getting late where you are… get some rest.” As soon as Huo Chengming finished saying that, it seemed someone had ripped the cellphone from him.
“Get some rest, Huanhuan!” said Li Jinyuan from the other end.
Then she heard a bunch of muffled sounds, presumably the two of them were fighting over the cellphone again. Then she heard the dial tone.
The other end was so far away.
Li Jinyuan watched as Huo Chengming put away his cellphone and resigned to sighing, “Wei-geI’s trick was problematic.”
“We can try it again,” said Huo Chengming.
“How?” asked Li Jinyuan, then he got it all of a sudden, “…. Go back too?”
“Mm.”
The two young boys from way back when had already grown up into older boys and getting more and more like two adult men.
They now have their own capital. Never mind about traveling internationally, they could even travel the world if they so choose without blinking an eye.
Once they have made up their mind, they didn’t even pack anything before they hurried to the airport and took the first flight back.
Back at the Lang’s.
Zhong Yuhuan slept all the way to noon.
She sluggishly got up, got ready, and put on a clean dress. When she pulled open the door, she saw Lang Jinzhi’s face immediately.
“I was just about to have you come down for lunch.”
“You didn’t go in to work today, cousin?” asked Zhong Yuhuan, surprised to see him there.
“I did. Just coming home quickly during lunch time.” Lang Jinzhi paused for a little bit and asked, “How come you slept in so much?”
“Jet lag.”
Lang Jinzhi was a very nice person, at least from Zhong Yuhuan’s perspective.
Just like right now, she just had to soften up her tone and give him a good reason. And his look softened up immediately without any more reproach.
Zhong Yuhuan followed Lang Jinzhi to the dining room to have lunch.
They were the only ones in the dining room.
Zhong Yuhuan asked, “Uncle doesn’t eat at home?”
“He’s at work.”
“What about the others?”
“Some are at school; some are traveling overseas for business; some are at work. Everybody is very busy,” said Lang Jinzhi.
This was when she realized that the only reason Lang Jinzhi was there was because he made a special trip home from work. Was he worried that she would feel awkward being by herself?
Zhong Yuhuan smiled as she bit down on her chopsticks.
Her cousin seemed to be a very thoughtful person!
Lang Jinzhi ate lunch with Zhong Yuhuan quietly before he headed back to work. Left on her own, Zhong Yuhuan walked around Lang’s and enjoyed the scenery in their garden.
Just as Zhong Yuhuan had guessed, Lang Jinzhi came home to have lunch with her every day for the next few days. He didn’t do much, just had lunch with her before he took off again.
Zhong Yuhuan, too, enjoyed her rare down time and adapted quite well to her days at the Lang’s.
