"You're free today! What if you're not free tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after that? Sister Qin happens to be free today too! What if Sister Qin isn't free tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after that?"
Chi Baiyi "..."
That reason is actually quite convincing.
Qin Yuanyao thought for a moment and realized that if she had passed her audition yesterday, she might not have had any free time in the future.
Although Qin Yuanyao thought this way, she did not express her opinion.
Of course, this matter should be decided by Chi Baiyi, Chi Nai's biological father.
Chi Baiyi looked at Chi Naozi with his deep, ancient eyes for a few seconds, then agreed.
It would be good to go see Zhao Lan.
Perhaps then he will know the real reason why Chi Cheese is so interested in the Yellow Mask.
When they arrived at N University, it was already past 5 p.m.
Chi Baiyi called Zhao Lan, wanting to ask her out, but she refused.
“My dad called and told me about this, but I don’t have time to see you. If you’re interested in that mask, just have my dad make one for you and you can buy it. He likes making masks anyway.” Zhao Lan said in an unfriendly tone and then hung up the phone.
"When is she coming out?" Chi Nao asked expectantly, glancing at Chi Baiyi who was on the phone.
“She said she didn’t have time,” Chi Baiyi said.
"When will she have time?" Chi Naozi asked innocently, not yet understanding the other meaning behind the question.
Chi Baiyi paused for a second, then said truthfully, "She doesn't want to see us."
"Why?" Chi Nao was completely shocked; she had never imagined that Zhao Lan would be unwilling to see them.
"Dad, is it because you were too fierce and scared her that she doesn't want to see us?" Chi Nao asked.
Chi Baiyi looked innocent and said, "I'm not fierce."
“You’re so mean! You’re so mean! You always have such a stern face,” Chi Naozi said, mimicking her father by scrunching her little face and putting on a stern expression.
"Your voice is scary too." Chi Naozi mimicked her father's voice in a high-pitched voice, "Why don't you tidy up your toys after you've finished playing with them!"
After finishing her lesson, Chi Nao Chef resumed her normal, soft, and cute voice, "Wasn't it scary! Sister Qin, tell me, wasn't it fierce and scary?"
Chi Baiyi "..."
Qin Yuanyao was already on the verge of bursting into laughter at Chi Nao's clever imitation.
Suddenly called out, Qin Yuanyao tried her best to suppress her laughter and nodded with a blank expression.
The next second, she immediately lost her composure, quickly covering her mouth and turning her face away.
"See? You almost scared Sister Qin to tears, and you still say you're not fierce or scary." Chi Nao, acting like a little adult, lectured her father.
Chi Baiyi "..."
Qin Yuanyao "..."
She's about to burst out laughing! She's holding it in so hard!
Chi Baiyi rubbed his temples helplessly and changed the subject, "Zhao Lan doesn't want to come out and see us, what do we do now? Go back?"
"No! Why should we go back when we've just arrived!" Chi Naoqi put her hands on her hips. "Dad, call Sister Zhao Lan, I'll talk to her."
Chi Baiyi put her phone on speakerphone, pressed Zhao Lan's number, and handed it to Chi Naozhi.
However, the phone rang a few times before being hung up by the other party.
"Why did the woman on the phone say the line was busy and I should call back later? What does that mean?" Chi Nao asked, confused.
"The other party hung up the phone; they didn't want to answer," Chi Baiyi explained.
Chi Cheese nodded. "Hit me again, Dad."
Chi Baiyi dialed the number several more times as instructed.
Each time, the call was cut off, and the cut-off time was getting earlier and earlier. Almost as soon as Chi Baiyi dialed, Zhao Lan would cut off the call.
"This won't do!" Chi Nao said with a worried look.
She came up with another idea and said, "Dad, you send a message to Sister Zhao Lan. I'll tell you, and you send it."
Chi Baiyi opened the text message interface as instructed. "What should I send?"
"Hello, Sister Zhao Lan, I am Chi Nao..." Chi Nao said as Chi Baiyi typed.
When he typed the words "sister", Chi Baiyi hesitated and didn't type anymore. It wasn't until he heard Chi Naozi say "I am Chi Naozi" that he continued typing.
"...I'm really interested in the yellow mask your dad made. I think it's so beautiful, the most beautiful and unique mask I've ever seen. Could you let me see it? It won't take up much of your time, just a little bit, really just a little bit! If you're willing to let me see it, please contact me. I'll be waiting for you outside the school... That's all."
After typing, Chi Baiyi checked with Chi Naozi again, "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'll send it over."
"Flash!" Chi Nao waved her little hand.
After Chi Baiyi sent the text message, Chi Nao asked him a while later if Zhao Lan had replied.
However, their text messages seemed to disappear without a trace, and Zhao Lan did not reply.
After waiting for more than two hours outside N University, Chi Cheese's stomach started rumbling.
Chi Nao quickly covered her stomach, afraid that her father would hear her. Her father was leaving and wouldn't wait for Zhao Lan.
However, even though she tried her best to cover up her rumbling stomach in the quiet car, she couldn't stop it.
"Are you hungry?" Chi Baiyi asked calmly.
Chi Naiqi covered her stomach with her little hands and shook her head frantically, "I'm not hungry, not hungry at all, I want to keep waiting."
However, when she said she wasn't hungry at all, her stomach rumbled a few times, completely disobeying her.
Chi Baiyi chuckled, raised the watch on her wrist, and glanced at the time.
"It's almost eight o'clock, I must be hungry."
Chi Cheese immediately widened her eyes and denied, "I'm not hungry, really not... glug glug..."
Chi Nai Cheese pouted, looking aggrieved.
Waaaaah, my stomach is upset! Why won't it cooperate with me?!
"Dad, let's wait a little longer. Maybe Sister Zhao Lan will reply to us soon." Chi Nao shook Chi Baiyi's arm and acted coquettishly.
"No, you'll get a stomachache from hunger. Let's go eat something now," Chi Baiyi said seriously.
"Just a little while, just a little while," Chi Nao insisted.
“We’ll just eat something nearby. If she replies, we’ll be back soon,” Chi Baiyi said gently.
Chi Nao's face lit up. "Okay!"
Chi Baiyi said to Qin Yuanyao, "Why don't you come eat with us?"
Qin Yuanyao was actually quite hungry and was eager to go eat.
She agreed without hesitation.
Chi Nai looked at her father, then at her mother.
Hmph, at least Dad knew to ask Mom this time.
That's progress!
There are many places to eat near the school, but they are all small, unassuming restaurants.
They chose a less crowded restaurant and ordered three dishes and a soup.
When they came out after dinner, it was almost nine o'clock at night, and Zhao Lan still hadn't replied to the text message that Chi Baiyi had sent on her behalf.
Chi Nai was unwilling to give up and didn't want to go back like this.
"Dad, could it be that Zhao Lan didn't see the text message you sent?" Chi Nao asked.
