Chapter 40: I'm afraid your sister-in-law will be jealous, so I won't go

The girls' dorm, less than a hundred meters away, was a distance that could be walked in a few minutes.

It was walked with the illusion of taking half an hour.

When they finally arrived downstairs at the girls' dorm: "Xie Qin, give me the bag."

"What time is the class tomorrow?"

"Didn't you look at the schedule? Nine-thirty."

Master Xie said "ah" slowly, and then asked her slowly: "What time are you getting up?"

Shen Li told him: "Eight o'clock."

"That's fine." Xie Qin gave her the bag slowly, and when Shen Li wanted to take it, he suddenly didn't let go.

"Do you have anything else?"

He said: "When you get to the dorm, send me a message."

When she returned to the dorm, after she washed up, it would be time to go to bed, and now... she was a bit sleepy.

She didn't respond, and Xie Qin didn't let go either.

They just stayed in a stalemate.

In the end, Shen Li couldn't do anything about him, so she could only say "Mm."

"Good girl." Xie Qin finally let go, Shen Li took the bag and turned to return to the dorm; she looked back and found he hadn't left yet.

After withdrawing her gaze, Shen Li continued to walk toward the dorm, just happening to run into the dorm auntie coming downstairs after checking the rooms: "Little girl, is that handsome young man your boyfriend?"

Shen Li moved her thin lips and was just about to explain, when she was interrupted by what the dorm auntie continued to say: "Last Sunday, your boyfriend stood downstairs at the dorm waiting for you all day, not even going to eat."

"I really haven't seen such a handsome and good young man for you."

"Seeing you two make up, I'm relieved, that young man didn't wait in vain."

Last week...

Xie Qin went to fight with people outside school, and Shen Li didn't know.

"I waited downstairs at your dorm for a whole day."

So what Xie Qin said last time about waiting for her all day was true; she had thought he was just talking.

She didn't ask later what Xie Qin wanted when he waited for her.

Xie Qin watched her return to the dorm and take the elevator upstairs before he turned around; just then, the phone in his pocket rang again, and after glancing at the caller, he answered the phone impatiently: "What's the matter calling your daddy?"

"Fuck, Xie Qin, can you have some shame? I treat you as a brother, and you're hell-bent on being my daddy, I'm going to tell my mom."

Xie Qin laughed: "If you have any bullshit, say it quickly."

"Afraid that you and the thirteenth sister-in-law really read the books in the library and learned something. So, the brothers have opened a table, just waiting for you to bring your family member over."

Xie Qin put one hand in his pocket, answered the phone with the other, and wandered downstairs to the boys' dorm: "Are there any women?"

The voice on the phone was restless, Xu Zhouyuan was answering the phone, and then Zhou Mingyu grabbed the phone and said: "Going out to relax, how can there be no girls, you want as many as you want, come over quickly."

Xie Qin changed his direction and walked toward the boys' dorm: "I'm afraid your sister-in-law will be jealous, so I won't go."

Zhou Mingyu: "... Hey, you... motherfucker, you're really putting on an act."

"Let's see how long you two can last."

Before he could finish, the other side hung up the phone.

After Shen Li returned to the dorm, Zhao Zhouyuan was still watching a TV series. After she put down her bag, she got up, found a set of pajamas from the wardrobe, and went to the restroom with a bath towel, shampoo, and body wash; the door was closed with a "clack."

Seeing her go in, Shen Li had no choice but to wait a while; she went to collect the clothes on the balcony outside.

The sound of the shower came from the bathroom, and while waiting, Shen Li went to the water dispenser to get a cup of hot water and wrote the translation problems she planned to do tomorrow.

More than half an hour later, the sound of Zhang Zixin talking on the phone rang out in the hallway: "... Already at the dorm door."

Taking out the key, after the dorm door opened, Zhang Zixin looked at Shen Li, who was doing problems: "She's not asleep yet... I'll give her the phone, you talk to her yourself."

Zhang Zixin walked to her side and threw the phone directly on her desk: "Xie Qin's call, he's looking for you."

Dropping these words, she hurriedly sat down and took off her high heels; she was exhausted from walking.

Originally the table was opened, but later Xie Qin didn't come, and everyone felt it was meaningless.

They played cards for a while and then came back.

The phone wasn't on speaker, looking at the time constantly jumping on the call page.

Shen Li hesitated, but still picked up the phone and placed it to her ear; there was a small fuzzy black ball hanging on the phone case, and there was a fruity perfume scent on it.

"Xie Qin?" She tentatively responded.

"Are you looking for me... what's the matter?"

She heard the sound of a lighter on the phone, and after a few seconds, Shen Li could imagine the scene of him puffing away.

He was smoking again.

"Did you, forget something?"

Shen Li was silent for a while, thinking over and over in her mind, but didn't feel she had forgotten anything: "What?"

Xie Qin laughed in anger: "Shen Li... your memory is quite something."

There were quite a few people who couldn't do anything about Xie Qin.

But Xie Qin really was the only one who couldn't do anything about someone else.

The wealthy Master Xie, who was arrogant and looked down on the world, didn't have much patience to begin with.

His hair-trigger temper had been completely smoothed out by her.

And yet, he could only endure it.

"Then can you remind me? I can't think of anything."

"Since you asked so sincerely, then I... will be merciful and tell you. Didn't I tell you to go back to the dorm and send me a message, where did you send it?"

Shen Li: "..."

She thought it was just a polite remark; when she used to go to relatives' houses with her mom and dad for the New Year, when they were leaving after dinner, the relatives would also say, send a message when you get home.

This kind of thing was usually just polite talk.

Just then, the restroom door opened, Zhao Zhouyuan finished her shower, came out wearing a bath towel, and her hair was wrapped in a shower cap: "Shen Li, you can go wash."

She responded to her: "Okay."

Shen Li looked at the time, it was already nine-forty-five, and her voice when she spoke back to Xie Qin was a bit tired, and she said without much spirit: "Sorry, my phone is still on the bed, I don't use it much, it should be out of battery."

"Xie Qin, it's not early, I'm a bit sleepy, can we talk about whatever it is tomorrow?"

"I still have to wash, otherwise the lights will go out soon."

Xie Qin: "Sleeping so early?"

Shen Li covered her mouth and yawned: "Mm."

Xie Qin: "With such a handsome person to chat with, how can you sleep?"

Shen Li: "Xie Qin, I'm really sleepy."

After two seconds of silence on the phone side, she heard a response from his voice: "I'll let you go to sleep, then... shouldn't you say something to me..."

Shen Li said to him: "Good night."

On the phone, she heard that light laugh: "Go."

After hanging up.

Shen Li got up and returned the phone to Zhang Zixin: "Finished chatting?"

Shen Li: "Mm."
