s.h.i.+ Yao was halfway through watching her fourth video when she suddenly received a notification on her phone . It was from Liang Mumu: [Little darling Yaoyao, I'm about ten minutes away from your school entrance, so you can start getting prepared now . See you soon!]

s.h.i.+ Yao quickly tabbed out of her video to reply: [Alright . ]

Liang Mumu swiftly sent a 'muah' emoji over .

Without responding to that, s.h.i.+ Yao tabbed back into her video .

By the time she finished watching the match, eight minutes had already gone by .

After confirming that her phone was charged up, she climbed out of her bed to grab a set of clothes to change into . After which, she did a quick check to confirm that she didn't leave anything behind, then put on her shoes and left the dormitory room .

When s.h.i.+ Yao arrived at the school entrance, Liang Mumu still hadn't arrived yet .

The lingering heat from the setting sun was still a little scorching, so s.h.i.+ Yao found herself a shady area to wait at .

She stood there for half a minute before abruptly choosing to whip out her phone .

She pressed a few b.u.t.tons on her phone screen and called Jiang Yue's number . She first informed Jiang Yue that she would be out eating with a friend, so she wouldn't have dinner with them later on . Then, she fell silent for a moment and then started chatting with Jiang Yue about a few other things . Just as their conversation was about to wrap up, a red sports car suddenly arrived in front of s.h.i.+ Yao . The car windows lowered, and Liang Mumu's exquisite face came into sight . "Yaoyao, get on . "

s.h.i.+ Yao first replied to Liang Mumu with a nod before telling Jiang Yue, "I'm hanging up," and then put away her phone . Following that, she opened the car door and got in .

While s.h.i.+ Yao was fastening her seatbelt, Liang Mumu asked with a cheerful smile, "Who were you talking to just now?"

s.h.i.+ Yao: "A roommate . I was telling them that I won't be joining them for dinner later . "

Liang Mumu replied with an "Oh" as she drove the car away . A moment later, she spoke up once more, "I left for j.a.pan a while ago, which is why I haven't been hanging out with you…"

s.h.i.+ Yao: "Oh? When did you go to j.a.pan?"

Liang Mumu: "Just last, last week…"

Last, last week . . . That was the week of s.h.i.+ Yao's birthday . But when she accompanied Lin Jiage to find a present for Sis Jiayi, she had seen Liang Mumu at W Mall . . .

s.h.i.+ Yao didn't expose Liang Mumu's lie . Instead, she asked, "What did you buy in j.a.pan? Did you bring back any nice food?"

"I knew that you would ask about food!" Liang Mumu exclaimed as she pointed to a lovely bag placed by s.h.i.+ Yao's feet . "There, I brought back some good food for you . "

s.h.i.+ Yao's eyes curled up in delight, saying, "Thanks," before unwrapping the packaging to feast on the food .

Glancing at the young lady who was busy stuffing food into her mouth, Liang Mumu asked, "Yaoyao, while I was in j.a.pan, did you do anything new these past two weeks?"

"Nothing much…" s.h.i.+ Yao swallowed the food currently in her mouth . " . . . Just lessons . "

Liang Mumu: "Then . . . is there any progress between you and Brother Jia? Is the relations.h.i.+p between you two better now?"

s.h.i.+ Yao's busy hands suddenly paused, but only for a brief instant . With the same tone as before, she shook her head and replied, "Not really . Things are still the same between us . But, Sis Jiayi came back not too long ago, so I did meet him once . "

Liang Mumu: "I met Sis Jiayi yesterday too . Auntie Lin is back as well . "

Auntie Lin referred to Lin Jiage's mother . s.h.i.+ Yao replied with an "I see" before falling silent .

Liang Mumu didn't continue to talk about this topic as well . Before long, they were already chatting about something else .

Just as they'd agreed over the phone, after having dinner together, Liang Mumu brought s.h.i.+ Yao to a newly-opened bar in Sanlitun .

s.h.i.+ Yao was halfway through watching her fourth video when she suddenly received a notification on her phone . It was from Liang Mumu: [Little darling Yaoyao, Im about ten minutes away from your school entrance, so you can start getting prepared now .
