Chapter 186 Misunderstanding!
Xia Xiaoluo was busy knitting a cashmere sweater for Ling Tianyi in the living room. She felt sweet. Suddenly, she heard the sound at the door. She looked at the European style wall clock, and it was already half past six.
“God, it must be Ling Tianyi.” Xia Xiaoluo jumped from the sofa. She quickly took everything to the bedroom, putting them in the closet Ling Tianyi bought for her. It was a surprise, so it could not be exposed now.
When Xia Xiaoluo came out of the bedroom, Ling Tianyi has already sat on the sofa in the living room. He bounded his number to Xia Xiaoluo’s card. Although he was busy dealing with business affairs in the afternoon, he knew that she was paid at noon. She withdrew 300 yuan first and then 1500 yuan. 1860 yuan was almost used up. When he got home, he saw the table first. She didn’t buy him anything to eat, and didn’t prepare dinner for him either.
“I’m hungry!” Ling Tianyi crossed his legs, looking at Xia Xiaoluo with a smile.
“Ah! I... I... I forgot to cook the meal.” Xia Xiaoluo was shocked. She was thinking about knitting the sweater, so she forgot everything else.
Ling Tianyi was speechless, Xia Xiaoluo told him that she forgot to cook for him. He really didn’t know what was in her mind! He was depressed. In order to make her happy, he bought a Western Restaurant to let her work there. Right after she was paid, she was so proud that she forgot to prepare food for him, not to say sharing the joy with him. He was imagining what kind of dinner she would prepare for him today all the way back home. But the greater the hope was, the more disappointed he was now.
Xia Xiaoluo was stunned, so she rushed to the kitchen and said to Ling Tianyi, “Darling, I will cook for you immediately. Chef Xia will prepare some small dishes in half an hour!”
Xia Xiaoluo was preparing food in the kitchen. She was guilty. She could forget everything, but she should not forget to cook for Ling Tianyi.
Ling Tianyi sat on the sofa, smiling the disgusting hot pot flavor from Xia Xiaoluo’s down coat. He threw it into the rubbish bin.
Xia Xiaoluo was good at cooking. In half an hour, she cooked three small dishes.
“Darling, let’s have dinner.” Xia Xiaoluo shouted at Ling Tianyi, who was sitting on the sofa.
Ling Tianyi ignored Xia Xiaoluo. She shouted at him when he was setting the table, in a daze, “Darling, aren’t you hungry? Let’s eat something first. The rice in the Rice Cooker will be done in a few minutes.”
Ling Tianyi took a deep breath and sat at the table with anger. Xia Xiaoluo shivered at once. Ling Tianyi was staring at her coldly.
“Darling, what’s wrong?” Xia Xiaoluo was nervous, pretending to be calm. “Darling, have something to eat! You are hungry, right?”
“Are you hungry?” Ling Tianyi asked coldly. He thought that she has already had dinner outside, because her down coat was full of hot pot flavor. She didn’t care about her husband, so he was very angry.
“I’m not hungry! Darling, you eat first, I will cook a soup for you.” Xia Xiaoluo did not know that Ling Tianyi misunderstood her inadvertently. She was a little hungry, but she thought that he must be hungrier, because he has never said that he was hungry. He told her that he was hungry, so he must be very hungry today.
Xia Xiaoluo was meaning for the best, and she asked Ling Tianyi to eat first. After all, the food was cooked in a hurry, so she wanted Ling Tianyi to eat enough. As for herself, she was not in a hurry.
“Did you have dinner? With whom?” Ling Tianyi asked. Xia Xiaoluo did not invite him to celebrate for her. She had hot pot with someone else, Ouyang Ziqian? Fang Ruichen? Or the male employee? Ling Tianyi was wondering in his heart.
“No! I don’t have dinner!” Xia Xiaoluo said with grievance. She had hot pot with Ma Qianli and Chu Tong at noon. She has been busy knitting Ling Tianyi’s sweater since then. Not to say eating, she did not even drink water.
Ling Tianyi thought that Xia Xiaoluo was not honest, so he was angry. At this moment, Chu Wei called him.
Ling Tianyi talked with Chu Wei on the phone, and then he went to the bedroom and packed a small suitcase without eating anything.
Xia Xiaoluo saw that Ling Tianyi was leaving, so she stopped him and asked, “Darling, where are you going? You haven’t eaten anything yet!”
“I will go for a business trip!” Ling Tianyi left directly, ignoring Xia Xiaoluo.
Chu Wei told Ling Tianyi that there was something wrong with the project in C City. Chu Wei wanted to go for the business trip himself, but Ling Tianyi was angry with Xia Xiaoluo. He was afraid that if he did not leave, he could not help shouting at her or even doing something wrong, so he left, leaving her alone.
Seeing the three dishes, Xia Xiaoluo was uncomfortable. She tried her best to cook for him, but he left without eating anything. She felt so wronged that she burst into tears when she saw the empty room.
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t know where Ling Tianyi was going and when he would come back. His birthday was coming. She didn’t know whether he could come back on time. She called him after adjusting her emotions, but he didn’t answer it, and he even powered off the phone.
Xia Xiaoluo thought that Ling Tianyi must be busy with his work, maybe he was on the plane, so he powered off the mobile phone. She decided to call him again tomorrow morning.
Xia Xiaoluo did not want to eat anything. She went to the bedroom, continuing to knit the sweater on the bed. She did not sleep until mid-night.
Early in the morning, Xia Xiaoluo woke up to the sound of her alarm. She called Ling Tianyi first without washing her face, but it was still powered off. She was anxious, so she sent a message to him. “Darling, I miss you. Where are you going? When will you come back? Please reply me as soon as possible. If I do not receive your message, I will worry about you.”
Xia Xiaoluo sent the message, then she hurried to wash herself. She had to go to the Wisner Western Restaurant to do a part-time job. She couldn’t quit the job after being paid. She still wanted to do the job to ensure her income.
Xia Xiaoluo rushed to the gate of the community, a Cayenne stopped in front of her. “Miss Xia, please get on the car!”
“Sorry, I don’t know you!” Xia Xiaoluo did not know the driver, so she would not get on the stranger’s car.
Xia Xiaoluo wanted to take a taxi, but the Cayenne slowly followed her. “Miss Xia, Manager Ling asked me to pick you up. I will pick you up when Manager Ling is on his business trip. This is for your safety, please get on the car!”
“Why should I believe you?” Xia Xiaoluo ignored him! According to the TV and Internet, there were many female students who got lost due to unlicensed car. She was not that foolish.
Finally, Xia Xiaoluo went to the Wisner Western Restaurant by taxi. The Cayenne was following the taxi to protect her!
When Xia Xiaoluo finished working, she saw the Cayenne waiting for her. “Miss Xia, please get on the car! Do you want to go to school or go home?”
Xia Xiaoluo thought that she was followed by a bad guy, so she must be more careful. Ling Tianyi was on his business trip. If she had an accident, he could not save her. Thinking of being followed by a bad guy was very dangerous, she stood downstairs in the restaurant, waiting for Chu Tong. It would be safer to go with a man.
Xia Xiaoluo’s mobile phone rang, Ling Tianyi sent her a message. “I’ll come back on Christmas Eve. You should be obedient these days! Take care and pay attention to your safety!”
After seeing the message, Xia Xiaoluo was at ease. She called Ling Tianyi at once. “Darling, where are you now? I am followed by someone today!”
“What? You are followed?” Ling Tianyi was so anxious that he threw the documents to the ground.
“Yes! When I got out of the community, a driver was there, asking me to get on the car. I refused, but the car was following me all the way. Now it is still in front of me!” Xia Xiaoluo said anxiously.
Ling Tianyi suddenly relieved. “It’s a Cayenne, right?”
“I don’t know the brand of the car. It’s a black car!” Xia Xiaoluo said. “I will not get on a stranger’s car. I will go with a male classmate, and I will be safer then.”
“Don’t ask a male classmate to be with you!” Ling Tianyi shouted immediately. What he disliked most was that she stayed with another man except him.
“But...” Xia Xiaoluo was anxious, and she was afraid of being followed by the bad guy. As the old saying, the concern of the thief was worse than the theft itself.
“The unlicensed car is a Cayenne. The driver is a balding middle-aged man. His name is Xu Ziguang. He is the driver I arranged for you. He is responsible for picking you up these days. It is also good for your safety. You can get on his car!” Ling Tianyi was depressed, because his goodwill was misunderstood by Xia Xiaoluo.
“Ah? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I was frightened!” Xia Xiaoluo said, and then she came to the Cayenne. “Hello, what’s your name?”
“Xu Ziguang!” The driver replied.
“What’s the brand of your car?” Xia Xiaoluo wanted to confirm if he was the driver Ling Tianyi arranged for her. If he was not the right one, it would be terrible.
“Cayenne!” Xu Ziguang said.
“Miss Xia, can you get on the car?” Xu Ziguang asked.
“Okay, okay!” Xia Xiaoluo got on the car quickly and said to the phone, “Darling, I am already on the car.”
“OK. The mobile phone should be available all the time, and pay more attention to your safety.” Ling Tianyi hung up. Although his arrangement was misunderstood by Xia Xiaoluo, it was good for her to have such precaution consciousness.
Сhapter 187 Xia Jingru Joined Hands with Lv Errou
Xia Xiaoluo was sent home by Xu Ziguang. She skipped class again in order to knit the sweater for Ling Tianyi. Recently, she hardly went to school. Xia Jingru was anxious about it. She wanted to make trouble for Xia Xiaoluo, and everything was ready. But she could not find Xia Xiaoluo and she dared not to find Xia Xiaoluo. She was going crazy.
“Xia Jingru, trust me, I can let Xia Xiaoluo go back to school.” Lv Errou said. She was almost expelled by Ling Tianyi because she offended Xia Xiaoluo. But finally she went back to school. She hated Xia Xiaoluo. What was more, Xia Xiaoluo and Luo Xixi were good friends, and she was interested in Luo Xixi. So, she wanted to make trouble for Xia Xiaoluo too.
“OK, let’s see it. Ask her to come to school as soon as possible.” Xia Jingru said. She was trying her best to make trouble for Xia Xiaoluo, so she joined hands with Lv Errou. She disliked Lv Errou either. If she didn’t want to make trouble for Xia Xiaoluo, she would not even talk to Lv Errou.
Lv Errou left. She went back to the dormitory directly. Her room was opposite to Xia Xiaoluo’s.
Lv Errou was in her own room, but she was observing Luo Xixi’s room. She has followed Luo Xixi before. She knew that Luo Xixi bought a box of instant noodles several days ago. Today Luo Xixi would have nothing to eat. So she was sure that Luo Xixi would leave her dormitory this afternoon.
As expected, at about 3 p.m., Luo Xixi was hungry, so she went out in big cotton-padded clothes. Lv Errou knew that Luo Xixi went to eat and buy a box of instant noodles.
Lv Errou went to find the dormitory management teacher on the first floor after Luo Xixi left. She said, “Teacher, my room door is closed and I forgot my key in the room. Could you help me to open the door?”
The teacher was watching a Kimch Drama, she didn’t want to miss it. Lv Errou said gently, “You can stay here. I’ll take the key to open the door and bring it back to you.”
“OK. Hurry up. Don’t lose the key.” The teacher gave her all the keys to the rooms.
Lv Errou opened Luo Xixi’s room door quickly. She found that the computer was on. She knew Luo Xixi would come back quickly, so she contacted Xia Xiaoluo through Luo Xixi’s QQ.
“Xiaoluo, there will be an urgent class meeting at 4:30 p.m this afternoon, and it’s about the CET-4 exam. You have to attend the meeting because the teacher will call the roll. If you don’t come, the teacher may inform your parents. I will go to the classroom and save you a seat. We will have the meeting at classroom 203 of the No.1 Teaching Building. Hurry up.” She sent the message, and the whole process was within one minute.
Lv Errou closed the door and return the keys to the teacher happily. “Teacher, here are the keys! thank you!”
Lv Errou didn’t go back to her dormitory, she called Xia Jingru directly. She told her the situation, and then went to the classroom, waiting for Xia Xiaoluo leisurely.
Though Xiao Xiaoluo was knitting the sweater, she didn’t turn on the computer, but she could check the QQ message on the phone. Hearing the sound, she checked the phone and saw this important message.
“Oh My God! I can’t make Ling Tianyi know I skipped class again. I must go back to school!” There were still about 40 minutes. She hoped that Xu Ziguang was still here. If she couldn’t go by taxi, she would be late.
Luckily, Xu Ziguang was a competent driver, obeying Ling Tianyi’s orders. He and another experienced driver called Yang Jun worked in shifts. They served Xia Xiaoluo for 24 hours. Xia Xiaoluo saw the familiar Cayenne when she arrived at the gate of the community.
“Mr. Xu, please send me to school. We are going to have a class meeting. I’m in a hurry. The teacher will call the roll at 4:30 p.m.!” Xia Xiaoluo said anxiously.
“Trust me, Miss Xia. I promise to send you there before the time.” Xu Ziguang looked at the watch and estimated the distance. He thought that it was not the rush hour, and there was no traffic jam. So he could send Xia Xiaoluo to school on time.
Xu Ziguang could not drive into the school like Ling Tianyi because he did not have the Gate Pass. He could only stop at the school gate. Xia Xiaoluo got off the car at 4:10 in the afternoon.
“Miss Xia, I will wait for you here.” Xu Ziguang said. It was his job to provide shuttle services for Xia Xiaoluo.
“Okay, I see. Thanks, Mr. Xu!” Xia Xiaoluo said, rushing to the classroom. She just wanted to go to the classroom earlier to save the back seat.
Xia Xiaoluo went into the classroom, finding nobody but Lv Errou there.
Xia Xiaoluo came towards Lv Errou though she did not like her. Xia Xiaoluo said, “I heard that there would be a class meeting at 4:30 p.m. today. Why there is nobody here! Is there something wrong with the time or the place?”
“There should have been a meeting here, but our headteacher has something urgent to do, so it is canceled. I don’t know when we will have the meeting.” Lv Errou said nervously and excitedly. Seeing that Xia Xiaoluo was going to be hooked, Lv Errou was too excited, but she tried to keep calm, pretending that nothing happened.
“Huh?! Damn Luo Xixi. She did not tell me the truth and ask me to come for nothing. I will call her to scold her!” Xia Xiaoluo was about to call Luo Xixi.
Lv Errou was shocked. She was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would call Luo Xixi. So she said at once, “Luo Xixi has called you for many times, but she couldn’t get through. Maybe the signal was not good when you were on the way.”
“Oh! Yes! Maybe it is because of the signal!” Xia Xiaoluo believed her at once.
Lv Errou giggled secretly and added, “All the students went away. Luo Xixi went back to her dormitory to play the computer games. She asked me to wait for you. You know the situation now, and my work is done. I’m going to get my answer to the CET-4 exam! I have no time to talk with you.”
Then Lv Errou began to pack her bag. Xia Xiaoluo was attracted when she heard Lv Errou’s words. Because this news was so attractive for a student who was not good at study like Xia Xiaoluo.
Xia Xiaoluo took a deep breath and said with a smile, “Errou, where did you find the answer? Can you share it with me? You know I am poor at study, can you help me?”
Lv Errou knew that Xia Xiaoluo was hooked, so she smiled and said, “It took me a lot of time and energy to get it. I spent a lot of money on it. If I help you this time, what will you repay me?”
“What do you want?” Xia Xiaoluo said. She could do anything for Lv Errou except for helping her to date with Luo Xixi. She couldn’t hurt her friend Luo Xixi.
Lv Errou said directly, “From now on, you have to stay away from Xixi and help me to pursue Xixi.”
“Change another one!” Xia Xiaoluo said, it was what she could not do.
“You can only help me with it! You decide to do it or not.” Lv Errou said. She thought that Xia Xiaoluo was interested in the answer to the exam and she would agree.
At the same time, Xia Jingru was monitoring them. She was angry with Lv Errou. Xia Jingru only hoped that Xia Xiaoluo would be hooked. When Xia Xiaoluo went to get the answer, she could report her. But Lv Errou was too ridiculous, she could do nothing successfully. Unexpectedly Lv Errou dared to bargain with Xia Xiaoluo, only on her own account.
Xia Jingru called Lv Errou at once. Lv Errou saw the call and answered it.
“Hey! What’s wrong with you? Don’t talk nonsense. If you want to pursue a woman, I will introduce one to you. Make Xia Xiaoluo be hooked first!” Xia Jingru shouted.
Lv Errou ignored Xia Jingru. Lv Errou said nothing and hung up the phone. She continued to look at Xia Xiaoluo, waiting for her decision.
“Hey, Errou! Xixi is a normal girl. We are just friends. But you! I can understand you, but Xixi does not like you. It’s OK for you to be friends instead of nothing else.” Xia Xiaoluo could not hurt Luo Xixi, but she was reluctant to miss the answer, she was struggling in her heart.
“That’s Luo Xixi’s willing, it’s none of your business. I hope I can make friends with her, but you can’t put every obstacle in my way. Just help me to date with Luo Xixi for three times, including having dinner together, seeing a film and going to the Amusement Park. I’ll give you the answer if you help me with that!” Lv Errou said.
“Em...That’s OK! I will have a try. But if Luo Xixi doesn’t want to go with you, it’s not my fault. You know, she is a female otaku. She likes playing the computer in the dormitory every day and she doesn’t like to go out.” Xia Xiaoluo was struggling. She finally agreed with Lv Errou. But she only promised her to invite Luo Xixi, not to promise that it would be successful.
“There are still several days before the exam. As long as you help me to invite her for only one time, and make sure of the date for the next time, I will give you the answer before the exam. Do you agree?” Lv Errou was not a fool. It was impossible for her to give Xia Xiaoluo the answer right now, because Xia Xiaoluo promised her so casually. Once the answer was given, Xia Jingru would take action immediately. So today she decided to protect Xia Xiaoluo first. Her bottom line was to date with Luo Xixi for just one time. When she got what she wanted, she would join hands with Xia Jingru and drive Xia Xiaoluo away. Then she could share the room with Luo Xixi instead of Xia Xiaoluo, staying with Luo Xixi all the time.
