Chapter 336
Ji Wanmei stayed outside alone until very late. By the time she returned to the bookstore, Ji Xingguo had already left.
They left her only a note—
It read: "Meimei, don't blame your father. You will understand his good intentions when you grow up."
Ji Wanmei didn't say a word, crumpled up the note, and threw it into the trash can.
That night, instead of going back to school, she went to the rooftop attic and slept there.
This small attic was rented by Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun together, and they bought things and decorated it together.
The sheets still carried Lei Tingjun's scent.
Ji Wanmei lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, recalling the look in Lei Tingjun's eyes as he looked at her before he left, and his silent words.
Never before had Ji Wanmei's heart felt so chaotic.
At the same time, I also felt a little wronged.
She had told him so firmly that no matter what happened, she would face it with him.
But he actually just left like that, without even asking her a question, and agreed to her father's harsh request.
Ji Wanmei was a little angry.
Two years may seem like a short time, but if you really count the days, it's a full 700 days.
He can go two years without seeing him, but she can't!
She couldn't help but miss him, miss his embrace, miss his voice, miss his company.
Lost in thought, Ji Wanmei turned over again, clutching the blanket, unable to sleep.
But perhaps because the scent of the mattress and pillow was too familiar and made her feel too safe, Ji Wanmei still drifted off to sleep in the middle of the night.
She was woken up very early in the morning by noises coming from downstairs.
School starts tomorrow, and students are gradually returning to campus, making this student street bustling with activity.
Ji Wanmei was still a little dazed for a moment, wondering where she was. After looking around, she remembered that she had slept in the attic yesterday.
I quickly got up, made my bed, washed up quickly, changed my clothes, and went to the attic balcony. No wonder there was a noise downstairs. It turned out that the logistics from Guangzhou had arrived, and the deliveryman was knocking on the door downstairs.
"Here it comes!" Ji Wanmei composed herself, not having time to think about anything else. The important thing now was to do the task at hand well.
She hurriedly ran downstairs to sign for the delivery slip.
Two large packages of goods packed in disposable cardboard boxes have arrived. Today, Ji Wanmei needs to quickly get the audio-visual store stocked and organized before starting the trial operation.
As for Lei Tingjun, she could only wait until this period was over before finding an opportunity to contact him.
Ji Wanmei signed for the goods from the deliveryman, then asked them to help carry them into the store. She treated the deliveryman to a bottle of soda, and he politely took his leave.
Ji Wanmei took out scissors, opened the boxes, took out the discs and CDs one by one, wiped off the dust with a damp towel, and then arranged them on the shelves according to their categories.
There were many goods, and Ji Wanmei was alone in the store. She casually played a song on the CD player and then organized the shelves.
Students passing by noticed that the original bookstore had been renovated into a video store, and they curiously peered outside.
Two male students walked in and, seeing Ji Wanmei organizing CDs, asked, "Excuse me, is this store newly opened? Are these CDs for rent or for sale?"
Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "Yes, the store outside is newly opened. You can rent or sell discs and CDs. We will have a trial opening this afternoon. It's not fully set up yet. Welcome to visit us when it officially opens."
"Oh, so it's not officially open yet. Okay, I'll come back another day."
The two male students looked rather regretful because they saw several VCD discs featuring famous foreign movie stars on the shelf. They hadn't seen those movies yet; the only cinema in Huadong City had shown them last year, but the tickets were expensive and almost impossible to get, so they wanted to see them but had no chance.
I was so surprised and delighted to find this movie DVD for sale near the school gate today.
Later, two more female students came in to ask questions.
It seems that Ji Wanmei's audio-visual store has already attracted the attention of college students even before it has officially opened.
Ji Wanmei sped up, tidying up all the disc cases and then doing a quick cleaning.
At noon, she went back to her school dormitory.
She took her luggage back and changed her clothes.
When Zhou Min saw her return, she immediately pulled her aside and said, "Meimei, you're finally back. Your dad came looking for you yesterday."
Ji Wanmei pursed her lips, her expression blank: "I know."
“But when you weren’t there, he came to me and said some things that I couldn’t understand,” Zhou Min said.
Ji Wanmei was shocked: "My dad came to see you?? What did he say to you?"
Zhou Min also found it very strange: "He just told me to pay attention to whether Lei Tingjun came to see you when I was with you. If he did, I should notify him. He even left me a phone number."
Ji Wanmei laughed in anger. Her father was really going to great lengths, even reaching out to her roommate.
“You don’t need to pay attention to him. He’s old, has traditional ideas, and wants to be a feudal patriarch,” Ji Wanmei said.
Zhou Min asked, "Meimei, is it because your father doesn't approve of your relationship with your boyfriend?"
Otherwise, why would he do that?
Ji Wanmei frowned, her mind in turmoil, and said, "Yes. But I won't give in to him."
