Zhou Xinlan smiled nonchalantly, stood in front of Mu Xiaocheng, and had no intention of leaving.
“It’s cold outside, and you must be bored waiting here alone. I’ll keep you company for a while.”
He spoke very kindly and considerately.
She really looked like an older sister taking care of her younger sister.
"No need, Sister Zhou, you're so busy, you don't need to stay and keep me company."
Despite Mu Xiaocheng's strong refusal, Zhou Xinlan seemed determined and unmoved.
She stood with Mu Xiaocheng and didn't leave.
Mu Xiaocheng knew that she wanted to see her make a fool of herself, or perhaps, she wanted to see Ji Huaishen.
In any case, whatever the reason, Mu Xiaocheng felt unhappy.
Zhou Xinlan, who was standing next to her, took out her phone and played with it out of boredom. Even though she was bored, she still had to wait.
Mu Xiaocheng took out her phone and checked the time; it was six o'clock.
Normally, Ji Huaishen would have already gone home from get off work by now.
She bit her lower lip. Had Ji Huaishen forgotten?
Did you forget you were supposed to pick her up?
No, it won't.
Mu Xiaocheng banished this thought from her mind.
She believed him.
Zhou Xinlan was getting a little impatient and couldn't help but force a smile and ask, "What time did you meet Mr. Ji? He should be off work by now, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Mu Xiaocheng raised her chin slightly, her eyes flashing with determination: "He might have something come up, Sister Zhou, don't worry, he'll come."
Zhou Xinlan smiled politely, her manners gentle and dignified.
He didn't say anything more.
The two stood outside in silence for half an hour.
Zhou Xinlan was a very busy person and had lost her patience.
She glanced at the time and couldn't help but say, "It seems Mr. Ji really has something come up. It's almost dark, and he still hasn't arrived."
"You can wait here, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she gave Mu Xiaocheng a meaningful look.
Mu Xiaocheng knew that look in her eyes all too well.
Mocking, mocking.
Mu Xiaocheng pursed her dry lips, smiled calmly, and said, "I told you not to wait with me. You wasted so much time, it was a waste."
The smile on Zhou Xinlan's face was gone.
Mu Xiaocheng really is a sharp-tongued person; by saying this, it turned out to be her fault.
She wasn't angry.
There's nothing to be angry about.
Because... the one who should be the most angry right now is Mu Xiaocheng.
After all, they stood them up.
Zhou Xinlan walked away in her high heels, still as proud and elegant as ever.
Mu Xiaocheng looked away and glanced at her phone; it was almost seven o'clock.
It was already dark.
All the streetlights along the road have been turned on.
Ji Huaishen did not come.
Mu Xiaocheng put her icy hands into her coat pockets and bit her lower lip.
He must have really been held back by something.
Should she call him and ask him?
Mu Xiaocheng took out her phone, found Ji Huaishen's number, and looked at the string of numbers on the screen.
With a determined effort, I dialed the number.
The phone rang with a "beep, beep, beep" sound for a long time.
A cold, mechanical female voice came through: "Hello, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Mu Xiaocheng frowned.
Why isn't Ji Huaishen answering the phone?
Has something happened? Or...?
She didn't dwell on it, put her phone away, and took a deep breath.
Never mind, she should just go home by herself.
It's not like they don't have legs.
However, thinking of the way Zhou Xinlan looked at her and her mocking tone, she hesitated.
Mu Xiaocheng was really unhappy.
She believed in Ji Huaishen.
But he...
She gave a forced smile, put her hands in her pockets, and walked towards the front door.
