Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
Shi 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!]
Shi Yao quickly tabbed out of her video to reply:?[Alright.]
Liang Mumu swiftly sent a ‘muah’ emoji over.
Without responding to that, Shi 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 Shi 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 Shi 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 buttons 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 Shi Yao. The car windows lowered, and Liang Mumu’s exquisite face came into sight. “Yaoyao, get on.”
Shi 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 Shi Yao was fastening her seatbelt, Liang Mumu asked with a cheerful smile, “Who were you talking to just now?”
Shi 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 Japan a while ago, which is why I haven’t been hanging out with you…”
Shi Yao: “Oh? When did you go to Japan?”
Liang Mumu: “Just last, last week…”
Last, last week… That was the week of Shi Yao’s birthday. But when she accompanied Lin Jiage to find a present for Sis Jiayi, she had seen Liang Mumu at W Mall…
Shi Yao didn’t expose Liang Mumu’s lie. Instead, she asked, “What did you buy in Japan? 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 Shi Yao’s feet. “There, I brought back some good food for you.”
Shi 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 Japan, did you do anything new these past two weeks?”
“Nothing much…” Shi Yao swallowed the food currently in her mouth. “… Just lessons.”
Liang Mumu: “Then… is there any progress between you and Brother Jia? Is the relationship between you two better now?”
Shi 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. Shi 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 Shi Yao to a newly-opened bar in Sanlitun.
