On the other side, after leaving the office building, Shi Miao hailed a taxi on the roadside and went straight back to school.
All the way, she kept thinking back to how Cheng Si had made his move.
Before she could even react, he had his wrist firmly gripped.
So much so that after arriving at their destination, the driver had to call her name two or three times before she came to her senses.
Shi Miao rubbed her temples wearily, glanced at the driver in the driver's seat, and asked absentmindedly, "How much?"
50.
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao took out her phone, scanned the payment QR code, and lightly tapped the screen a few times with her jade-like fingers to transfer the money. "Done."
I had just opened the car door and gotten out when my phone rang.
She glanced down at the caller ID, then pressed the answer button as she walked into the school.
"So, did you get it?" Ji Yanchen's cool yet gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
Shi Miao smoothed her hair, feeling quite annoyed. "No, I messed up. Cheng Si is such a strange person."
"eccentric?"
Shi Miao nodded and briefly recounted what had happened in Cheng Si's office.
Ji Yanchen was quite surprised after hearing this. "I had someone check him out, and there was nothing strange about it. He was abroad before, and only started to become active in the capital a year ago. It seems that he probably tampered with his identity information."
Shi Miao pursed her lips, her dark eyes showing a hint of irritation. "He's definitely wary of me now. We'll have to think of another way to deal with the hair issue."
“We could try starting with the people around him,” Ji Yanchen suggested.
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and Zhao Ting's image appeared in her mind. "Let's wait and see. I was indeed too hasty in this matter."
"Well, you decide for yourself."
...
After hanging up the phone, Shi Miao turned off the screen and was about to put it back in her pocket when the screen suddenly lit up again.
She glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and saw a WeChat friend request notification.
Seeing this, Shi Miao unlocked her phone again, opened WeChat, and found that the person who had contacted her had no name or nickname, and the profile picture was blank.
She frowned, but still clicked "agree".
For some reason, Cheng Si was the first person I thought of.
Sure enough, as soon as I added them, they sent me a message.
[Little Miaomiao, when are you coming to sign the contract?]
Shi Miao's eyelids twitched. She really couldn't figure out what he was up to now, and what was this little Miao Miao?
She tapped her phone screen and replied.
【Little Miaomiao?】
Cheng Si replied quickly, "[Don't like it? Then I'll reluctantly find you another one. What do you think of Xiaomiao?]"
Shi Miao: [Not very good.]
Cheng Si: [Okay, then it'll be Xiaomiao.]
Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly. Too lazy to pay him any more attention, she turned off her phone screen, took out her keys from her pocket, and opened the dormitory door.
Hearing the door open, Jiang Ning sat up in bed, pulled back the curtains, peeked out, and looked at the girl who had entered. "Sister Miao, you're back."
"Okay." Shi Miao closed the door behind her.
She took off her baseball cap and had just sat down in her chair when her phone rang again.
Shi Miao thought it was another message from Cheng Si, so she unlocked her phone, only to find it was from Huo Yudong.
[Junior sister, there's an academic exchange meeting between our research institute and the Independent Continent Science Institute next week. My teacher and I discussed it and are thinking of including you. Would you like to go?]
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly as she tapped the back of her phone with her fingertips. Thinking that she had quite a few old acquaintances in Independent Continent, she replied to him after a moment's thought.
【go. 】
...
at the same time.
Cheng Si stared at his WeChat chat with Shi Miao. Seeing that she hadn't replied for a long time, he sent her another message.
Ten minutes passed, and the other side still didn't react.
He frowned, looked up at Zhao Ting beside him, and said, "Send a message to Shi Miao."
"Huh? What did you send?" Zhao Ting was a little confused.
Cheng Si casually fiddled with his phone, "Just ask her when she's coming over to discuss the contract."
Zhao Ting pursed her lips. "Didn't you just add her on WeChat? Why don't you just ask her yourself?"
"No, Xiao Zhao, you're not even listening to the boss anymore?" Cheng Si glanced at him with his deep eyes and said lazily, "Don't you want your bonus this month?"
Zhao Ting chuckled awkwardly and took out his phone from his pocket. "No, I'll send it right away."
He had just sent the message when Shi Miao replied.
She said she's been quite busy lately and can't be sure yet. She'll contact us again when she has time.
"Heh." Cheng Si sneered and casually tossed his phone onto the coffee table.
It turns out I didn't miss it, I just didn't want to reply to him.
"Damn, why are you smiling so weirdly..." Zhao Ting couldn't help but hug his arm and rub it when he saw this.
Cheng Si stood up, rubbing his neck. "Let's go eat, I'm hungry."
Zhao Ting glanced at his watch. "It's only 3:30, and you're already hungry?"
Cheng Si gave a faint "hmm," put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the door.
Zhao Ting noticed the phone he had just tossed on the coffee table and called out to him, "Wait a minute, didn't you bring your phone?"
Cheng Si didn't stop walking, and without turning his head, he said, "Take it with you."
Zhao Ting sighed inwardly, bent down to pick up his phone, and quickly followed.
...
Zhao Ting never expected that Cheng Si's suggestion of having dinner meant going to buy strawberry cupcakes.
Fine, I'll buy it. Who knew that right after I finished buying it, they would ask me to drive straight to Tsinghua University?
"What are you going to Tsinghua University for? You're not planning to go see Shi Miao, are you?" Zhao Ting glanced at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Cheng Si lifted his eyelids and glanced at him. "Yeah, if she won't come to see us, then we'll go see her."
"Uh, but we just saw each other two hours ago... Your intentions are too obvious... What if her boyfriend sees us? Oh my god, you haven't already successfully stolen her away, have you?!" Zhao Ting exclaimed in surprise.
Cheng Si rested his arm on the car window, propped his forehead up, glanced at the strawberry cakes in the bag next to him, his eyelashes slightly lowered, as if he was thinking about whether he should reluctantly share a piece with Shi Miao later.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Ting thought that he had really guessed right, and his expression was quite complicated. What kind of mess is this?
A promising young man ended up becoming someone else's mistress.
Did you tell Shi Miao that we came to see her?
Cheng Si looked up at him, raising an eyebrow slightly, "I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and sent a message to Shi Miao.
I will arrive at your school in ten minutes.
This time, the other party replied almost instantly, very concisely, with just a question mark.
Cheng Si: [Don't be too touched, I also brought you my favorite strawberry mini cakes.]
Shi Miao: [???]
Cheng Si stared at his phone screen, stroking his chin as he asked, "Xiao Zhao, what does it mean that she sent me a bunch of question marks? Is it some kind of new code word?"
Zhao Ting: "Maybe, probably."
