"Oh." Yu Zijun showed no hint of surprise in his expression or tone. He stopped when he reached Yu Ting’s side. "Let’s go, little sister, let’s go back."
This comment caught the two women, who were on edge, off guard. Shen Ruchu’s claim that they were scheming to steal someone else’s man fell apart. They had always been siblings. It was perfectly normal for them to know each other in advance, and there was no premeditated scheme.
Yu Zijun asked several people for directions to the tea house. Earlier, he stood on the stairs and listened to Yu Ting’s speech. He felt a stir of emotion in his heart.
Yu Ting was taken aback by this sudden term of endearment from Yu Zijun. Soon after, she replied, "Alright."
She then got up and walked towards Yu Zijun. The two of them left side by side, leaving behind a loud clamor from Shen Ruchu.
A loud crashing sound.
All the items on the table were swept to the floor by Shen Ruchu. Her eyes were as red as a bruised face. The ceramic cups fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The so-called...
Yu Ting’s lack of etiquette and Yu Zijun’s betrayal had left Shen Ruchu in a daze. She was leaning on the table, her face was disfigured with rage.
The tea house waiter came up promptly upon hearing the noise. Seeing this scene, his expression turned stern. "Madam, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I’ll pay." Shen Ruchu hurriedly interrupted him. She completely ignored the shards of porcelain scattered across the floor. After sorting herself out, she pulled out a card from her pocket and passed it to the waiter. "Swipe it yourself."
The waiter was taken aback and a bit angry at this. It was the first time he’d seen something like this. He found it difficult to understand her behavior and thought it was tasteless.
She must be crazy... throwing cups here...
So money makes you arrogant, huh?
...
On the other side, Yu Ting and Yu Zijun descended the stairs in silence.
Now, Yu Zijun, with his cold expression, somewhat regretted it.
He had impulsively infuriated Shen Ruchu.
Given her personality, he didn’t know what kind of revenge she would plan for the future.
"... Can you pay me more each month?" Yu Zijun asked while the autumn wind rustled the fallen leaves next to him.
That way, he could spend his days playing video games and petting his dog in his apartment.
"No, you’ve already signed the contract."
"Oh."
...
"So, no chance at all?"
"None."
"Oh."
...
The two returned to Hengdian under the watchful eyes of the rest of the crew. Later, they went their separate ways. Yu Ting was taken back to the hotel by Lu Nanchen, while Yu Zijun returned to his own hotel.
He quickly ate dinner downstairs, then returned to his room for a shower and to care for his dog. The not-small sofa was lined with three or four pillows, which he’d brought in a separate suitcase.
After dealing with Shen Ruchu’s annoying antics for a few days, Yu Zijun, freshly showered, sat on the sofa with his laptop.
He leaned against a pillow with a blue-white U-shaped neck cushion around his neck.
Upon seeing the familiar game interface, his oppressive mood was soothed.
He was playing a highly interactive martial arts game.
This game took five minutes to ’beat’, but two hours to barter.
After a while, Yu Zijun haggled with the other merchants in the game, who primarily craft weapons.
Ding.
Next to him, on the sofa where he was sitting cross-legged, a message notification sounded on his phone, illuminating the screen.
The message displayed: Shen Ruchu
[Would you like to chat?]
Yu Zijun squinted to read the text message on the screen.
Without reacting, he continued to play his game.
Shortly after, another text message notification sounded.
Ding.
