The next day.
Chu Jiang also shook Xi Ran awake from her sleep.
Xi Ran woke up in a daze.
"What are you doing? Can't a person get some sleep?"
Chu Jiang smiled indulgently, "I've already asked Xi Yan to give you a morning off. He can come pick you up at noon. Sleep a little longer. I'll set your alarm for 10 o'clock. Remember to check out before you go back and get your deposit back."
Xi Ran nodded, "Okay, if you're in a hurry, you can go now."
Chu Jiang shook his head helplessly, knowing she was very tired. He kissed her forehead, then dressed and returned to the film set.
Chu Jiang sighed. He was so reluctant to part with her, yet she was still fast asleep.
You heartless bastard!
He shook his head, grabbed his luggage, and hurriedly left.
Xi Ran slept until the alarm clock kept ringing before she reluctantly got out of bed.
Chu Jiang is a beast, he has no self-control, and she is in great pain.
Xi Ran cursed Chu Jiangyi mercilessly, but she was still not satisfied, so she sent him a barrage of messages, one after another. Finally, still not satisfied, she sent him a voice message filled with insults.
All the childish behavior came to an abrupt end when Xi Yan appeared.
She seemed to remember something like this: Chu Jiang also asked Xi Yan to come and pick her up.
After packing my luggage and checking that I hadn't forgotten anything, I hurriedly left with my backpack.
After checking out, I went straight to the hotel lobby, where Xi Yan was leisurely waiting.
"So early? Didn't I tell you to pick me up at noon?"
Xi Yan smiled and said, "There's no other way. I have a lecture by a professor this afternoon, and I can't miss it. I didn't have anything to do this morning, so I came to pick you up."
"Oh, I see. Let's go get something to eat first. I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Don't you have an appetite?"
"No! Why would you ask such a strange question?"
“My brother-in-law called me early this morning and said you had a cold and weren’t feeling well, so he asked me to come pick you up at noon.”
Xi Ran suddenly realized that there was such a thing.
It was clearly that scoundrel of hers who was taking advantage of her without any restraint, yet he claimed she had a cold and even had Xi Yan come to pick her up. You're really something.
Actually, she still thought her mother-in-law's washboard was quite good and practical, perfect for dealing with Chu Jiangyi.
Xi Ran felt a little guilty and laughed it off, "Yes! Your brother-in-law is right. I had a slight fever yesterday, but after a nap, it was all gone, and I'm completely fine now."
"That's good! What would you like to eat? It's on me!"
"No need! You work so hard at your part-time job, I'll pay for it."
Xi Yan smiled and told Chu Jiangyi that he had inexplicably transferred 2,000 yuan to him that morning, asking him to come pick up his sister and treat her to a good meal to replenish her energy.
He said that after catching a cold, one needs to take a lot of supplements to boost immunity, and that his sister was sick and shouldn't take the subway, so he should take a taxi back and forth, and he would cover all the expenses.
Xi Yan was quite helpless; having money and influence really made a difference.
After hearing Xi Yan's description, Xi Ran's lips twitched.
"Alright! Since your brother-in-law has already given the money, let's splurge this once. I'll take you on a high-end trip."
Xi Yan smiled and said it was no problem.
If you eat your own food and it brings tears to your eyes, it's because you feel heartache; if you eat someone else's food, all that's left is sweat.
Xi Ran and Xi Yan went to the most expensive buffet restaurant nearby. Xi Yan had been very worried ever since they went in.
She kept tugging at Xi Ran's clothes, "Sister! This place looks really upscale, with luxurious decor. Can we afford it?"
"How can you not afford it? Didn't you just receive a transfer record this morning on your phone?"
Is that enough?
Xi Ran patted Xi Yan's arm reassuringly, "Don't be nervous. Actually, the prices at high-end places aren't as expensive as we think. Ordinary people like us can afford them too."
Xi Yan nodded as if he understood, "I see, then I'm relieved."
The two siblings kept swallowing their saliva as they looked at all the delicious food.
Xi Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "With so much delicious food, we don't even need to eat dinner."
"Let me tell you a trick for eating at a buffet."
"What's the trick? Do you need to teach me how to eat?"
"Of course, if you want to get your money's worth, you'd better remember to be quick."
Xi Yan was confused at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood everything.
"I see!"
"Good, let's hurry up and find what we like to eat."
"good!"
