Chapter 303: He Probably Misses You?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the holidays, the bookstore was open for business as usual.
Lin Gantang gave the employees red envelopes, and Qian Ruoxi happily led her subordinates to work.
Lin Gantang was busy all the way until the afternoon, when she managed to find some time to swipe through her Moments. Her so-called friends who only knew how to have fun all day were still doing so without the pressure of work.
The funniest one was Le Yu. When he heard that the project in the north of the city was about to be completed, he thought that he would be able to move ahead. In the end, his father threw him out of the house and told him to find a class by himself. Euphemistically, he continued to train.
Le Yu sent a message and cried bitterly.
Lin Gantang was amused. Mr. Le was a little ruthless in order to punish Le Yu.
There weren’t many people in the bookstore that day. Lin Gantang was just thinking about going back earlier that night when she saw Bei Bei carrying a small backpack into the shop.
Lin Gantang was rather surprised to see her. “It’s rare to see you out. You came out for some shopping?”
“No, I’m looking for a place to hide and get some peace,” Bei Bei replied listlessly.
“Then you’ve come to the right place. The bookstore can’t be any quieter.” Lin Gantang brought her to the comic section. “These are the new books. If you’re interested, why don’t you find a couple to kill time?”
“You’re still the best.” Bei Bei was extremely touched. Tears welled up in her eyes as she grabbed her hand. “Let me hide for two days. We’ll see how it goes after this period of time, when my mother’s fever has cooled.”
“What happened with your mother?” Lin Gantang was curious.
For her to be forced to go out and find some peace?
Bei Bei felt helpless. “Xu Bingxi came to my house during the New Year. I saw that he had come and sat down to accompany him. In the end, when Bingxi went back, my mother started nagging. She said that he was good at everything and wanted me to date him.”
Lin Gantang burst out laughing.
“She talks about it every day.” Bebe broke down. “One moment, she’s saying that his age and personality are suitable. The next moment, she’s saying that he has a good family background. She also said that he’s definitely interested in me because he played with me in the past. How annoying!”
“Isn’t Xu Bingxi good?” Lin Gantang held back her laughter.
“It’s not that he’s not good. After so many years, I’ve already treated him as a brother. I don’t feel anything for him.” Bei Bei had a headache. “After my mum thought that I liked women, she no longer arranged blind dates for me. Now that she sees that I get along with Bingxi, she’s so excited. It’s not easy for there to be a man appearing by my side. It’s as if she wants to change my sexual orientation.”
Lin Gantang laughed.
Bei Bei was depressed. “In the past, my mother was quite cold to Bingxi. He stopped going thereafter. Why do you think he suddenly thought of visiting me? Sigh…”
“Maybe he misses you?” Lin Gantang analyzed. Otherwise, why would Xu Bingxi have chosen a date to visit her after she had simply mentioned it at the gathering that day?
Bei Bei said, “Huh? That’s impossible. Why do your words sound so weird? Don’t make it sound so ambiguous. It’s not like I have that kind of relationship with him.”
“Why can’t he miss you?” Lin Gantang raised her eyebrows. “Speaking of which, he usually accompanies you when you go out. Is he very free? No wonder your mother has such thoughts.”
Bei Bei sighed. “Forget it, I can’t be bothered anymore. Let her continue to nag. Anyway, I don’t plan on finding a partner at this stage.”
Bei Bei bought a few new books and flipped through them in the bookstore. Occasionally, she would play with her phone. She spent half a day there until she received a call from home in the evening. It was only when she could not hide anymore that she was willing to go back.
There was nothing else to do in the bookstore. Lin Gantang planned to go home early. When she packed her things and was about to leave, she received a message from Wen Yanqing. “Shall we have dinner together tonight?”
Remembering how he had bullied her in the study, Lin Gantang snorted. “We’ll see each other when the hickeys disappear.”
“I have your house key.”
It meant that she couldn’t hide.
Lin Gantang angrily jabbed at her phone. “If you dare, get my room key.”
Wen Yanqing looked at the provocative emoji she had sent him.
Alright, I’ll arrange for it later..
