After the two hung up the phone, before Qin Bai could put the remaining seasonings into the bowl, the phone rang again.
When he saw the name Qin Yi, his face darkened.
To find out so quickly, it seems that Old Deng has been keeping an eye on news from the school.
"Hey, Dad, what's up?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask what's up and if you've eaten yet."
"Oh, I'm already eating it, braised beef, it's delicious."
Just kidding.
Since you like to talk nonsense, I'll just talk nonsense with you.
Let's not talk about anything serious, let's see who runs out of phone credit first.
I'm the one answering the phone, why would I be afraid of you calling?
"Hmm, the braised beef is good. You're at the age where you're growing, so you should eat more good food."
Qin Bai glanced at the braised beef in front of him, squinted, and said, "Dad is right."
"Son, did you save Feng Yaoyao today?"
"Save her? That's an exaggeration. She just lost her footing on the ladder and I helped her down. That thing on the forum was just a publicity stunt to promote the student union's recruitment. It's all hype."
"Is that really the case?" Qin Yi's tone became more serious.
“Of course, how could I dare to deceive my dear old…father?”
"Hehe, I'm relieved. I knew it! My son is almost engaged, how could he possibly have anything to do with the Feng family?"
Qin Bai said with a forced smile, "My advisor's family is quite well-off. I strained a muscle in my arm, and she took me directly to her family's private hospital for a check-up. After finding nothing wrong, she let me go."
The highest level of lying is when it's half true and half false.
Qin Yi must know about my visit to the private hospital, so I might as well just be honest with him and ask him what the Feng family does.
"The Feng family is quite powerful. They usually keep a low profile, but they have the backing of the country."
"Many of Feng Bin's company's projects are research-related. Although he doesn't have much working capital, he has a very wide network of connections."
"Outsiders may not know his background, but within the circle, almost no one would mess with his family, especially his...daughter."
Qin Bai raised an eyebrow.
Is this a warning to myself?
Unfortunately, you warned the wrong person. You'd better say those same words to that scheming woman too.
"Dad, don't worry, I won't have anything to do with Feng Yaoyao."
"I'm relieved to hear that. Let's eat quickly, or the braised beef will get cold."
"Okay, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Bai continued working on the "braised beef" in his hands.
This should be quiet now; no one should bother me while I'm making instant noodles.
Then......
The bell rang.
"Excuses, all you've come up with are excuses. You've seen right through my love..."
Qin Bai's face was contorted in pain.
Just throw the seasoning packet into the bowl.
This instant noodle is a bad thing for me, I'm not eating it.
I picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
Soon, an anxious voice came from the other end.
"Senior Qin Bai, are you alright? I heard you were injured."
"Oh, it's nothing, just a common muscle strain."
Hearing the heavy breathing on the other end, Qin Bai silently turned down the volume on the receiver considerably.
It really makes one's imagination run wild.
It really does look quite tempting.
He asked in confusion, "Are you running?"
"Hmm, phew... I'm finally here. I got some pain relief patches downstairs at your dorm. Could you come down and get them?"
Qin Bai looked out the window and saw Yu Xiaoyu running and stumbling towards him from a distance, carrying a bag in her hand.
"No need for that trouble, I've already been to the hospital."
"Did the doctor prescribe you painkillers?" Her voice sounded a little dejected, as if she had arrived too late.
No, but...
"That's great, I have some here, come down quickly..." Yu Xiaoyu's voice regained some of its joy.
"Shen Muyao has already sent it to me."
Silence fell on the phone.
After a while.
"Hehe, that's good. It's alright now. Senior Qin Bai, please take a rest."
"If, and I mean if, you run out of medicine, call me anytime."
"I'll send it to you soon."
Qin Bai looked down at the forced smile on the figure below and said calmly, "Thank you."
"Then I won't disturb Senior Qin Bai's rest any longer. I... I have something to do, so I'll hang up now."
Yu Xiaoyu wiped the sweat from her face, turned around and ran away, much faster than when she came.
The immense sorrow transformed into a stream that enveloped the poor little fish.
Qin Bai stood by the window and looked for a long time.
Then he picked up the flatbread from the bowl and took a bite.
After chewing a few times, he turned and spat into the trash can.
"Pah! This is fucking bitter."
......
"Have you heard? Luo Qingyan is coming to our school to give a speech this Saturday."
"What? No way? Is this news really true?"
"It's authentic. The school has already issued an announcement. It's a bit of a pity though, though. It seems like the lecture was only for third-year students."
"Why? Aren't I, a senior in college, a human being?"
"Oh, who knows?"
Qin Bai sat in a corner of the cafeteria and overheard their conversation. The chicken leg he was holding, which cost 4 yuan, fell directly onto his plate.
"Oh dear, you have no appetite today? You're not even eating chicken legs. Well, I guess I'll have to eat them for you."
