Old Lin hid in the bathroom, covered the receiver, and whispered, "Something terrible has happened!"

"Your goddess is no longer coming to work here!"

Upon hearing the word "goddess," Xi Jun was taken aback and frowned, saying to Lao Lin on the other end of the phone, "What goddess? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Old Lin was furious at how slow this person's reaction was, and shouted into the phone again, "Who else could it be?! It's that girl downstairs with the super hot and sexy figure, but also the super gentle and kind person—your crush!"

Xi Jun paused in drying her hair, then instantly realized what was happening and hurriedly asked Lao Lin, "You mean Lu Ying? What happened to her? Why isn't she working there anymore?"

Old Lin replied hastily, "How would I know her name? How would I know what happened to her? I have no idea why she's not coming to work here?!"

"Anyway, the person came to see you today, and I happened to be submitting a report when I ran into them at the door."

“She asked me to help pass something over. When I saw that the bag contained your clothes, I only took the note with her contact information and told her to return the clothes to you herself.”

"I already sent you the note, but I waited a while before calling you because you didn't reply..."

Old Lin was still talking on the other end when Xi Jun heard this and exited the call, then found WeChat and opened Old Lin's chat page.

Seeing the images above the series of messages, he hurriedly clicked on them, glanced at the numbers, then returned to the call page and said to Lao Lin, who was still rambling on, "I have to go now, I have other things to do!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and quickly typed in the string of numbers he had just received.

Hiding in the bathroom, Old Lin angrily cursed as he watched the phone being hung up, "What a womanizer!"

The moment the call was made, Xi Jun suddenly regretted it.

In his haste, he made the call without thinking.

I suddenly realized that the call was made very abruptly.

He and Lu Ying weren't exactly close; before he helped her, she didn't even want to look at him twice. It was just that he had those kinds of feelings for her.

He just made that sudden call; the other person will definitely think he's very tactless...

Lost in thought, the call had already connected. Xi Jun was about to hang up when the other party answered, and a woman's gentle voice came through the receiver.

Hello? May I ask who you are...?

Xi Jun felt as if the electric current was crawling all over his body from his ears, and he was frozen in place. His ears instantly became extremely hot and turned completely red.

Lu Ying glanced at the unfamiliar number that showed the provincial capital as its location. It was still busy, but no one on the other end spoke.

She paused for a moment, then, as if remembering something, tentatively asked into the phone, "Hello, is this Mr. Xi Jun?"

A gentle voice sounded in his ear, accompanied by an electric current, and the man's entire body began to tingle.

Xi Jun's mind suddenly started to spin. Not long ago, when she was talking to Lao Lin, she was clearly drafting a report in her mind, but now she couldn't remember anything. Only the woman's gentle voice echoed in her ears.

By the time his mind processed what was happening, he had already spoken into the phone, "It's me, Xi Jun..."

Lu Ying understood upon hearing the other party's reply.

I checked the time; it was almost lunchtime. So I asked, "Oh, it's like this. I've washed the clothes you borrowed from me a couple of days ago and I'm ready to return them to you."

"Do you have some time now? It's almost lunchtime, how about I find a place and treat you to lunch?"

Xi Jun was still feeling dizzy, but without thinking, she agreed, "I have time! We can have dinner together!"

After hastily finishing his sentence, the man realized he had been too eager and hurriedly explained, "I, I..."

Lu Ying knew what the man was thinking and was used to his series of reactions, but she still couldn't help but laugh.

She said into her phone, "Okay, I'll send you the address later. See you then."

Hearing the woman's soft laughter, perhaps because of the electric current, the breathy sound was amplified infinitely, as if the woman were really laughing at him right next to his ear.

Xi Jun felt as if she were floating, her body feeling dizzy and light, and she didn't know where or when she was.

He replied blankly, "Okay, see you later."

How long after the call ended, the man in shorts held the phone to his ear.

He only snapped out of his daze when his phone suddenly beeped with a text message notification.

Xi Jun quickly opened his phone and saw that it was an address and the name of a restaurant that Lu Ying had sent him.

He didn't have time to look closely before he put down his phone and ran to rummage through his clothes.

Don't be late!

Don't keep the other person waiting too long!

Xi Jun had only these two thoughts in her mind.

After rummaging through the neatly organized wardrobe, the wardrobe, which already contained only a few clothes, was instantly turned upside down.

The man looked at his clothes, some of which he had worn for several years, and none of them were decent.

After rummaging around for a while, he found a neatly folded white shirt at the very bottom.

Xi Jun picked up the shirt, stared at it for a long time, and finally smiled, shook off the creases, and put it on.

Perhaps God was looking out for him; there is such a thing as destiny in this world.

The address given by Lu Ying was a Japanese restaurant located near the city center.

When Xi Jun arrived by electric bike, the woman had already messaged him a few minutes earlier to say that she had arrived. The restaurant was on the third floor of the mall, and she even thoughtfully told him which way to take the elevator.

To be honest, even Xi Jun, a native of the provincial capital, had never eaten at a shopping mall near the city center.

He knows this area, but he hasn't been here much.

The mall is huge. Upon entering, you see various high-end cosmetics brands and gold jewelry from different brands; further inside, there are even luxury goods counters...

At just one glance, Xi Jun felt dazzled and didn't dare to waste time looking at it. She went straight to the elevator and took it to the third floor.

The third to fifth floors of the mall are all food stalls, but the third and fourth floors are mostly restaurants, while the fifth floor is mostly snack stalls.

Xi Jun remembered the name of the restaurant that Lu Ying had given him. After arriving at the floor, he easily saw the door number and jogged to the door.

Just as he was about to go inside, a waiter came over and asked him, "Hello sir, do you have a reservation?"

Xi Jun shook her head, but said, "My friend is here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his phone received another message, this time from Lu Ying, providing him with the room number for the private room.

Just then, the waiter asked him if he knew the room number of his friend's private room. Xi Jun gave him a number, and the waiter understood and led him to the door of the private room.

"Sir, you've arrived. Enjoy your meal with your friends!" the waiter said before walking away.
