Chapter 840 Ranbao extra (13)
Kong Ran's first reaction was to retract the message.
After pressing the button for a long time, it showed that the cancellation time had expired and could not be cancelled.
Kong Ran cried out in despair, "If only I hadn't turned off my phone and been thinking about this and that, I wouldn't have even noticed that the message was sent to the wrong person!"
Thinking about how much effort I had just spent crafting my words, I realized it was a complete waste of time.
The key point is that Wen Sichen might not even know how he'll make fun of her!
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she saw another message from Wen Sichen on the other end of the line—[What time is the party?]
Kong Ran: "?"
She took a deep breath, her fingers dancing across the keyboard: 【What, are you going?】
I had nothing to do on Wednesday evening, and since I had some free time, I thought I'd take a look around your school.
School A has a long history and a great reputation, and has become one of the must-visit tourist destinations for many people who come to Kyoto. Wen Sichen's statement is not wrong.
Kong Ran thought about it and decided that it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to come. If Zhong Lin also went, he could at least help liven things up. So he sent him a message: "[8 PM.]"
Wen Sichen didn't say anything more and simply gave an "OK" gesture.
After exiting the page, Kong Ran sent the message to Zhong Lin.
This time, she checked it several times before sending the message.
Zhong Lin didn't keep her on edge for long; he replied shortly after, but the result wasn't what Kong Ran wanted to hear—he said he had an experiment to oversee on Wednesday night and might not be able to leave.
Kong Ran's first reaction upon seeing the message was disappointment.
My second thought was how to get him there.
She held her phone and thought for a long time, feeling that only Wen Sichen could help her with this, so she opened her chat window with Wen Sichen again.
Ranran is super excited: 【Little Uncle~(*^▽^*)】
Wen Sichen quickly replied with a question mark.
Kong Ran immediately sent over what he had prepared: "I need your help with something."
Wen Sichen replied with a 【。】 this time.
Kong Ran was not discouraged at all, and simply said, "Why don't you bring Senior Zhong Lin along tomorrow night?"
This time, Wen Sichen paused for a moment before replying: 【Didn't you talk to him yourself?】
Having already embarrassed herself, Kong Ran had absolutely no inhibitions in front of Wen Sichen. She directly sent him screenshots of her chat with Zhong Lin, ending with a pitiful emoji: "See? This guy is ruthless and cold-blooded, I can't handle him! Anyone can be assigned to monitor the lab, he's just using that as an excuse not to come out!"
Wen Sichen: [Knowing it's an excuse, why did you still insist on going?]
Kong Ran: [...I'm not reconciled! He hasn't even had a chance to talk to me yet! And he's already avoiding me, it's just not right! Uncle, please help me arrange to meet him, okay?]
Wen Sichen decisively replied with two words: 【Not good】
Kong Ran: "..."
She took a deep breath and demanded of him, "Why?!"
Wen Sichen's answer was simple and direct: "For no reason."
Kong Ran: "..."
In her memory, Wen Sichen wasn't this difficult to deal with when they were abroad!
He clearly grants every request!
Unlike now... it's completely unpredictable.
She thought for a moment, then simply said, "You really won't agree?"
Wen Sichen didn't reply at all this time.
Kong Ran gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't help me, I'm going to tell my parents you're back!"
Wen Sichen: [...]
Wen Sichen: [Is this a case of resorting to threats and intimidation when emotional appeals failed?]
Ranran is super enthusiastic: [Just tell me if you agree or not!]
Wen Sichen: [Kong Ran, you lack martial ethics.]
Kong Ran sensed the softening in the other person's tone and chuckled, then said in a conciliatory tone, "Uncle, I didn't mean to appear so forceful, it's just that this party is very important to me!"
Wen Sichen didn't reply for a while this time, and then sent her a message after a while, which was also a screenshot - his conversation with Zhong Lin.
Wen Sichen: [Xiao Zhong, how about we meet tomorrow night? I want to talk to you about investments.]
Zhong Lin: [Okay, senior, you pick the place. (Smiling)]
Wen Sichen: [I'm going to Xiaoran's graduation party tomorrow. Come with me, okay? Afterwards, I'll find somewhere to eat.]
Zhong Lin: […Senior, my junior just invited me to her graduation party today.]
Wen Sichen: [Oh? You agreed.]
Zhong Lin: [No...]
Wen Sichen: [What?]
Zhong Lin: [Um... I have an experiment tomorrow night...]
Wen Sichen: [Ah, if you're busy, how about we schedule it for the day after tomorrow?]
Zhong Lin: [It's alright, it's alright. I can find someone to keep an eye on things in the lab. Our business is more important. What time is the party? I'll come find you tomorrow night.]
Wen Sichen: [Okay, tomorrow at eight o'clock, A University Auditorium, see you there!]
Zhong Lin: [Okay, see you there!]
The record of the past few days was quite long, and Kong Ran read it all in one go, feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow.
She was happy that Zhong Lin would indeed come tomorrow, but worried that what he said about the experiment was actually just an excuse to reject her!
But why?
Is she really that unlikeable?
She was behaving very ladylike, just as Wen Sichen said!
Just then, Wen Sichen sent a message: [See? Their attitude is so obvious, they're just using excuses to push you away.]
Kong Ran sighed: [Shut up.]
Wen Sichen replied after a while: [Alright, anyway, you've managed to get the person over there, so don't be upset.]
Kong Ran typed in the input box: 【I'm not unhappy.】
Before the message could be sent, she deleted it and instead said: "[You know, Zhong Lin and I have only met a few times, how come he already dislikes me?]"
Wen Sichen: [...It might not be dislike, just a lack of chemistry.]
He added after speaking: "I advise you to give up as soon as possible. A science and engineering guy like Zhong Lin only loves the lab."
Undeniably, Wen Sichen's words were a blow to Kong Ran.
After all, Zhong Lin's evasive attitude was indeed quite obvious.
But she was still unwilling to give up.
She felt that he didn't understand her at all, and his current avoidance of her was completely unreasonable.
She let out a long sigh and said, "Giving up is out of the question. Just bring them here, and don't worry about anything else."
After saying that, she threw her phone aside and buried herself in the blanket.
At the same time, Wen Sichen, in a secluded bedroom in Xishan Villa, gripped his phone, his eyes slightly darkened.
After a while, he let out a long breath, turned off his phone, and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered a fortune teller he had met on the street when he was a child. The fortune teller saw him and wouldn't let him leave, looked him up and down, and finally said, "You have a very strong Peach Blossom curse. It's going to be difficult, very difficult."
At that time, he didn't know what "Peach Blossom Curse" was; he just felt that this person was seriously ill for no apparent reason.
However, now he seems to understand what he means.
He frowned, suppressing the inexplicable bitterness welling up inside him.
He recalled the last piece of advice that person had given him: "What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force."
He twitched his lips, feeling that while the words sounded easy, doing them would be completely ruthless and disregard human life and death.
Don't force it, don't force it.
The reality is that he doesn't even have the right to demand it.
He rubbed his face and turned off the room lights.
