Chapter 240 Lost Contact
Oroi's letter said that he did not intend to break the appointment. He had originally hoped to stay for another week, but there was an emergency at home. However, please don't doubt his intentions. He hoped that Zhang Wei could seriously consider him and he could also live in Country A if necessary.
Although there was not much content in the letter, it seemed very sincere. Because of Oroi's sudden appearance yesterday, Zhang Wei's opinion of him faded a lot. Although she didn't like Oroi, she also admitted that he seemed sincere enough and not a frivolous person.
So she planned to reply to him with an email in a few days to thank him for his kindness and hope that he would find a better partner.
After resolving this issue, Zhang Wei returned to the laboratory refreshed and continued to devote himself to research and study.
Just as she plunged into the lab, more than a month had passed in a flash. Summer vacation was about to begin, and Zhang Wei suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten something...
Thinking of this, Wei immediately took out his cell phone, found Paris's name and was about to call him, but suddenly stopped. What should he call him about?
She said she felt she had mental problems, but in fact she was just a 40-year-old old lady?
Or should I just say cruelly that they are not suitable and let him find someone else?
Thinking about it, I still feel a little heartbroken. She hasn't contacted him for so long. He wouldn't misunderstand and ignore her directly, right?
No wonder some people said before that good friends can’t talk about love and romance. If it breaks down, there will be nothing left. Just think about it, it’s such a loss!
No, even if they couldn't be lovers, she couldn't lose this friend!
Under the astonished gazes of her two assistants, Zhang Wei ran out of the laboratory without changing her protective lab suit, got into her old car, and drove to Paris's college.
Zhang Wei's heart tightened when he saw the closed door of Paris' office. Then he remembered that many colleges had already gone on vacation, and Paris often completed a lot of work at home. Then he immediately drove to his home.
Unexpectedly, his servant warmly welcomed Zhang Wei into the living room and told her that the master and his family had left, including the housekeeper.
As for where he went, the maid said she didn't know either.
Zhang Wei was shocked and wondered if something else had happened in the past month.
This period of time should be the longest time that Zhang Wei and Paris have not been in contact since she came to Country A to study.
All sorts of guesses flashed through Zhang Wei's mind, but he still made the call that he hadn't had the courage to make.
After two beeps, the phone was picked up and a familiar voice came:
"Vera—'Snap!'"
Zhang Wei heard Paris shout, and then a young woman's scream was faintly heard from the phone, followed by a loud bang and the signal was interrupted.
Zhang Wei's eardrums hurt from the shock. She looked at the hung up phone with a blank mind, but she still felt very strange because Paris's tone was too normal, so she called again.
However, this time the call was not connected.
Zhang Wei could only go back from Paris's house. Since she couldn't contact anyone, she felt like there was something stuck in her throat and couldn't eat. She didn't know what was going on at Paris's place.
She called again in the evening, but still couldn't get through. She even wondered if Paris was in danger, but it didn't sound like the case.
Moreover, his servant also said that the three of them left together. Zhang Wei even wanted to call Paris's father, Mr. Lin.
But when she called, she found out that Mr. Lin's number had been changed. She still remembered this phone number from her childhood, so Zhang Wei had no way to contact him.
She had never found it so difficult to find Paris, and their mutual friends were not in Country A. Zhang Wei flipped through the contacts on her phone and suddenly saw Zhou Chi's contact information. It was Zhou Chi who added her on his own initiative.
Zhang Wei thought that Paris and Zhou Chi seemed to have a good relationship, so she called him. Zhou Chi answered the phone quickly. It was very noisy on the other end of the phone. Zhang Wei said it several times before Zhou Chi could hear clearly what she said.
"Brother Lin and his family returned to Hong Kong together!"
After hearing this, Zhang Wei thanked Zhou Chi and hung up the phone.
Hong Kong, they just came back from Hong Kong not long ago, what happened?
She couldn't sleep because of all sorts of things in her mind. She glanced at the time and saw that it was almost one in the morning. Zhang Wei got up and poured herself a glass of water. She didn't expect that she would suffer from insomnia because of a man.
Just as she was about to lie back down, her phone rang. It only rang once, and Zhang Wei picked up the call immediately after seeing the caller's name:
"Paris!"
"Vera, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I thought I'd hang up after the phone rang for three seconds, but I didn't expect you were still awake."
"It's okay. I haven't slept. Did anything happen over there?"
"Nothing. A distant relative passed away. He has many descendants, and there's a property dispute with my family. We need our whole family to come back. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to disturb you."
Zhang Wei couldn't hear anything wrong in Paris's mood, so she felt relieved.
She tried to make amends by explaining, "I've been a bit busy in the lab lately," and then continued to ask:
"You, did something happen when I called this afternoon?"
"Well, a distant relative was in a state of emotional distress, and when I was on the phone, she knocked me off the phone, and my phone accidentally broke."
"So that's how it is. I thought something happened to you." Zhang Wei felt relieved.
"Are you worried about me?"
Zhang Wei heard Paris's breathing coming from the microphone.
"Yeah," she replied softly and honestly.
"My phone was just repaired, and I called you as soon as I got it back. I didn't expect you were really awake."
Hearing what he said, Zhang Wei could imagine the scene of Paris looking for a place to repair his phone on an unfamiliar street, and then couldn't wait to call her after it was repaired.
"I can't sleep," she suddenly said to him frankly.
"I couldn't get through to you on the phone, and I was a little worried. I contacted Zhou Chi, and he said you had returned to Hong Kong."
"Vera, can I ask, besides your concern for your friends, if there is—"
"Yes," Zhang Wei said immediately, "I have seriously considered what you asked me to consider before."
At this time, both ends of the phone could hear each other's breathing clearly. Paris was waiting. Zhang Wei took a deep breath and said:
"Paris, you are truly an excellent object, though many friendships are based on fondness for friends,"
Paris's breath caught at this,
Zhang Wei continued, "But I can't deny that I'm attracted to you as a member of the opposite sex. I have many quirks myself, and we haven't spent much time together since we grew up. Did you really make this decision after careful consideration? Are you sure you want to be with me?"
