When Hong Baobao saw this expression, the image of Jing Pei taking a long time to choose an emoticon immediately appeared in her mind.
Hong Baobao snapped out of her reverie, stared at the emoji, and then chose a similar one and sent it to Jing Pei.
Jing Pei replied quickly and asked Hong Baobao, "What are you doing?"
Hong Baobao replied, "I'm getting ready to rest."
This time, Jing Pei's reply was not as quick as before.
After a while, Jing Pei said, "Are you free? I need your help with something."
"I'm busy lately."
When Jing Pei saw the message from Hong Baobao, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Jing Pei felt that Hong Baobao was just giving him the runaround. He had heard from Jing Tang that Hong Baobao had been quite free lately.
"I'll just say a few words to you, it won't take long." Jing Pei sent another message to Hong Baobao.
After staring at it for a while, Hong Baobao finally replied with a simple "okay".
When Jing Pei saw that Hong Baobao had agreed, he was immediately excited.
Jingpei chose the address and everything else.
They agreed to meet at 10:00 AM tomorrow.
After receiving Jing Pei's message, Hong Baobao didn't chat with Jing Pei any further. Instead, she turned off her phone, closed her eyes, and planned to rest early.
However, Hong Baobao lay in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.
Hong Baobao tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep, so she simply gave up on sleeping and picked up a book from the bedside table to read.
This book was kept by Jing Tang after she read it some time ago.
Hong Baobao thought that since she couldn't sleep, she might as well read a book.
As a result, Hong Baobao flipped through the book for a while, but couldn't concentrate on reading a single page.
For some reason, Hong Baobao felt that her mind was in a mess.
As for why this was the case, she couldn't figure it out at all.
Just then, her phone rang again.
Hong Baobao picked up her phone and glanced at it. This time, the person who sent her the message was Chen Nianjiu.
The reason why Chen Nianjiu sent a message to Hong Baobao was mainly to tell her that the child had been rescued.
Hong Baobao was completely relieved to know that the child was alright and had been rescued.
Hong Baobao replied to the other party, then glanced at her chat history with Jing Pei before turning off her phone and putting it aside.
At this moment, Cheng Yaoyao finished washing up and came out of the bathroom.
When Cheng Yaoyao came out, she saw that Hong Baobao was still awake, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Normally, Hong Baobao would be asleep while she was washing up.
"Baby, you're still awake?" Cheng Yaoyao asked.
Hong Baobao shook her head and said, "Yeah, I'm having some insomnia, I can't fall asleep."
When Cheng Yaoyao heard that Hong Baobao couldn't sleep, she asked, "If you can't sleep, do you want to go out and play with me?"
Hong Baobao asked curiously, "What are you going out to do so late at night?"
Cheng Yaoyao chuckled and said, "Let's go clubbing."
"Forget it, I don't want to go." Hong Baobao refused.
Since Hong Baobao refused to go, Cheng Yaoyao was left alone. She was too lazy to go out alone, so she naturally didn't go either.
That night, Hong Baobao couldn't sleep, so she stayed awake until dawn.
Fortunately, even if Hong Baobao doesn't sleep, it won't have any impact on her.
The next day, Hong Baobao went to see Jing Pei.
When Hong Baobao arrived, Jing Pei was already waiting for her.
Jingpei saw Hong Baobao almost as soon as she went up to the second floor.
Jing Pei had requested a private room. Before Hong Baobao arrived, he would check the time every now and then. Since Hong Baobao was nowhere to be seen, he stood at the door of the private room waiting for her.
The moment Jing Pei saw Hong Baobao, he quickly went into the private room.
Jing Pei was very fast; basically, he entered the private room the moment Hong Baobao appeared on the second floor.
Jing Pei thought that Hong Baobao hadn't seen him.
In reality, Hong Baobao did see Jing Pei, but all she saw was his back.
After entering the private room, Hong Baobao sat opposite Jing Pei and asked, "Brother Jing, what do you want to tell me?"
Actually, it's a lie for Hung Bo-bo to say she wasn't curious.
She was curious as to why Jing Pei had contacted her.
"Well, it's almost noon. Let's eat first, and we can talk about it later," Jing Pei said after a light cough.
Hong Baobao twitched her lips and said nothing more; that was all she could do.
Hong Baobao had a feeling that Jing Pei was doing it on purpose.
Jing Pei probably chose this time period on purpose.
However, this is just Hong Baobao's speculation.
Hong Baobao had a simple breakfast in the morning, and now she was indeed feeling a bit hungry.
"Baby, take a look at what you want to eat." Jing Pei handed the menu to Hong Baobao and let her order.
Hong Baobao looked at the menu, ordered two dishes she liked, and then handed the menu to Jing Pei.
After Jing Pei ordered a few dishes, the waiter left.
In an instant, only Hong Baobao and Jing Pei remained in the private room.
Jing Pei sat opposite Hong Baobao and stared at her intently.
Hong Baobao noticed that Jing Pei's gaze was fixed on her, which made her feel a little strange.
“Brother Jing, why don’t you tell me first? What’s the matter that you wanted to see me about?” Hong Baobao asked.
The main reason was that she felt the atmosphere in the private room was rather awkward, which is why she asked that question. She thought that if she chatted with Jing Pei, the atmosphere wouldn't be so awkward.
"I just want to ask you for a favor," Jing Pei said.
After hearing this, Hong Baobao asked, "What kind of help?"
"I'll tell you after we finish eating," Jing Pei said, without directly telling Hong Baobao what it was about.
The reason Jing Pei isn't saying anything now is that he wants to spend more time with Hong Baobao.
He was terrified that if he spoke, Hong Baobao would refuse and turn away.
He now truly understands what it feels like to miss someone for three autumns if you don't see them for a day.
He simply wanted to see Hung Bao Bao.
Of course, there's another point: he genuinely has something he wants Hong Baobao to help him with.
As for this matter, it also exists for the sake of Hung Bo-bo.
Seeing that Jingpei was unwilling to talk about it now, Hong Baobao had no choice but to give up and wait until after dinner to discuss it.
The food was served very quickly. Jingpei wanted to serve Hongbao some food, but Hongbao was sitting a bit far away, so Jingpei had to give up.
At this moment, Jing Pei began to regret his actions.
