Chapter 176 I've Been Waiting for You
The picture on the other side of the screen was shaking wildly, and the sounds of rain and footsteps were mixed together, occasionally accompanied by Yin Yinying's panting.
In addition, one can hear Yin Yinying's voice of apology and blame from time to time.
"I slept so soundly that I accidentally forgot the time. Please don't mind..."
"Wait."
Ji Jinjing suddenly spoke.
The shaking screen stopped, and Yin Yinying raised her phone to face Ji Jinjing.
Even through the screen, I could still feel that she looked bad. She was standing at the door, with the rain falling in front of her, and I could almost see the outline of a shadow falling on her face.
"What's wrong?" Yin Yinying's heart skipped a beat.
What she was thinking in her heart was that if Ji Jinjing got angry here, she would be in the wrong and she would not be able to win the argument.
If that were the case, even though it was her problem, she would definitely still feel unhappy.
But if she quarreled with him, she would be being unreasonable.
I feel more irritable.
Ji Jinjing stared at her for a long time, but could not read anything from his expression.
After a while, I heard his voice, "Where's your umbrella?"
"Ah?" Yin Yinying was stunned, obviously not expecting Ji Jinjing to say that.
He looked down at his empty hands.
Response, “I don’t have an umbrella.”
"Then how do you plan to get there?" I don't know if it was an auditory hallucination caused by the loud noise of the rain, but Ji Jinjing's voice seemed a little displeased, as if he would lose his temper in the next second.
Yin Yinying pinched her fingertips and stood there, feeling depressed.
I could already predict what he would say next: 'You're forgetful, you waste time, and you have no sense of responsibility.'
I feel inexplicably aggrieved.
Her voice wasn't very happy either.
"Run over there, what's the big deal? It's not like we didn't get caught in the rain at noon. Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."
As soon as she finished speaking, she put away her phone and prepared to jog over.
Ji Jinjing on the other side of the screen: ...
He didn't say anything, right?
Why is she reacting so strongly?
"If you don't have an umbrella, go get one from my lounge."
Hearing Ji Jinjing's voice, Yin Yinying paused again.
He slowly picked up the phone and frowned, "What do you mean."
Ji Jinjing: ...
"It's raining so hard, go to my lounge and get an umbrella so you don't get wet."
“…”
Yin Yinying blinked.
A little confused.
It seemed like things were not developing as she expected.
"You're not angry?"
"What are you angry about?"
"I overslept..." Yin Yinying's voice gradually became lower.
What? Why doesn't he blame her?
This makes her seem very unreasonable.
"You've already overslept, what else do you want?" Ji Jinjing remained expressionless, just staring at her.
He continued to explain calmly and objectively, "There's a spare key in the security room on the fourth floor. Tell the security guard, take the key, and go directly to my lounge to open the door and go in. The umbrella is on the rack next to the table."
Yin Yinying was silent for a moment before she uttered a single word: "Oh..."
"Hurry up." Ji Jinjing continued.
"……good."
Yin Yinying agreed, then returned to the fourth floor, got the key as Ji Jinjing instructed, and then went to his lounge to get an umbrella.
I kept in touch with Ji Jinjing throughout the whole process.
Yin Yinying stared at the other end of the screen, raised the umbrella in her hand, and explained to Ji Jinjing, "I only took this umbrella, and nothing else."
Ji Jinjing: "...If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't let you into my lounge."
Yin Yinying was embarrassed by the criticism, but her mood did not get worse this time. Instead, she felt warm, which was inversely proportional to the weather.
"Also, I have some cold medicine in my cabinet. Take two before you come over."
"Ah?" Yin Yinying paused.
"I don't have a cold."
Next second.
"Ha Qiu..."
She sneezed.
Yin Yinying: ...
Why do colds come so suddenly?
Feeling dejected, he did as Ji Jinjing said, poured a glass of warm water, and swallowed two cold pills.
Then he raised his phone and looked at Ji Jinjing, "I can go now."
Ji Jinjing on the other end: ...?
Why did he say it as if he wouldn't let her leave?
"Whatever you want." He said.
Yin Yinying: “…Oh.”
Get up and prepare to leave.
"Wait." Ji Jinjing's voice appeared again.
Yin Yinying raised her phone with despair, "What's wrong?"
Ji Jinjing: "...My headphones are on the table, you can use them if you need them."
His eyes fell on the headphones on the table and he paused for a moment.
“What am I going to do with headphones?”
"Whatever you want."
“…”
In the end, Yin Yinying just took it with her. After all, if she could get something for free, she would rather take it.
Back to the first floor, I walked in the rain holding Ji Jinjing's umbrella.
It seemed that even if he wasn't there, he could still take care of her in another way.
Yin Yinying: ...
Pooh.
What are you thinking about?
The sound from the phone continued, but the rain was so loud that Yin Yinying couldn't hear the external sound clearly.
It was not until this time that she understood the significance of Ji Jinjing asking her to wear headphones.
Put on the headphones and connect them to your phone to hear Ji Jinjing's voice.
Yin Yinying asked: "What did you just say? I didn't hear it."
Ji Jinjing only responded slowly, "No."
Yin Yinying:?
"I clearly heard you talking just now," she emphasized.
It’s definitely not my hallucination.
Ji Jinjing smiled and said, "Then tell me, what did you hear?"
Yin Yinying: "...I didn't hear clearly, but you definitely said something."
Ji Jinjing said slowly, "Then I didn't say anything."
Yin Yinying: ...
"Don't keep me in suspense. Just confess and I'll give you some leniency. What did you just say?"
Ji Jinjing didn't continue to play with her and smiled in response, "I say, how come you don't even have an umbrella? How did you get here before?"
Yin Yinying pursed her lips and answered seriously, "I don't know."
Ji Jinjing: ...
He stared at Yin Yinying speechlessly.
Yin Yinying was not panicked at all.
She really doesn't know.
As far as I can remember, this is probably the first rainy day since I came to this world.
God knows how she got to this body before.
But she could estimate...
I should have always shared an umbrella with Zhou Wu and Wu Liu.
End of topic.
But it was still quite a distance from the training room. Yin Yinying stepped on the sound of rain and listened to the silence on the other end, feeling a little dazed.
"So you've been waiting for me?"
"What else?" Ji Jinjing was still in a bad mood.
But this time Yin Yinying smiled instead.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ji Jinjing: ...
Complaints, "There's no sincerity."
Yin Yinying smiled and didn't dwell on this point any further. "You don't have work this afternoon?"
"Yes." Ji Jinjing replied, "But for you, I postponed it."
Yin Yinying:?
Correcting him decisively, "It's for your teammates."
"But I'm waiting for you now." Ji Jinjing emphasized.
The meaning is to let her know the seriousness of the matter.
What a price he paid to wait for her.
