Chapter 97: Little thing, so ruthless (Monthly ticket 90 plus update, asking for monthly tickets)
Ye Anning deliberately didn't call Pei Jun, but sent him a text message instead.
Pei Jun was surprised to receive her text message. Given the lesson from yesterday, he thought he shouldn't be too happy. Indeed, when he saw the content inside, he couldn't smile: Tonight we're going camping together, no need to come pick me up.
He made a direct phone call, his voice tense with suppressed anger, "What are you exposing, going today? Tonight?"
He connected these two issues and shouted past them. Ye Anning had been prepared early, but he didn't expect that as soon as the text message was sent, his phone call came in, "En."
"Why didn't you tell me before?" he asked in a cold tone, his voice filled with furious anger, his first reaction was "Was it intentional not to tell me!"
"No, no." Ye Anning hastily denied, she wasn't a fool, "This is temporary, I just found out today too."
"Don't go!" His voice was softer, but still carried a command.
"But we've already set off." She said softly into the receiver, noticing that everyone in the office was looking at her with a hint of amusement in their eyes.
"Come back!" he shouted!
Upon hearing this, Ye Anning also became somewhat anxious, "No way, it's a group activity now, I have to participate!"
At that moment, the voice on the other end suddenly disappeared. Just as Ye Anning was nervously thinking he would get angry, the person on the other end hung up directly. Although she was a bit angry at his disrespectful behavior, she didn't pursue it and instead felt relieved.
Colleagues teased her, "General Pei is so strict, even going camping has to be lied about?"
Ye Anning just smiled, who can understand her sorrow.
Everyone got on a van together at the time. Originally thought it was only for teachers, but when we arrived at the destination, I found out that there was another car behind us and some students got off.
At first she didn't pay much attention, but when she saw Song Bingchen coming down from the back, a flash of confusion flickered in her eyes, and he was staring at her with piercing eyes.
Anpei yili pei. The mobile phone rang, Ye Anning didn't even look at it and directly picked it up to run to one side, using the action of answering the phone to avoid Song Bingchen's gaze.
"Where is it?" came the cold, hard voice of a man over the phone.
"Ah?" Yan Anning put down the phone and looked at it, it was actually Pei Jun's again. She said honestly, "I'm on the mountain."
"Is it here?" His voice didn't show any emotion.
"Alright."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then he asked in a low voice, "Have you got everything? The tent, insect repellent... it's windy on the mountain, did you bring an extra jacket?"
His low and husky voice didn't sound like a good attitude, but she heard concern in his words.
Why is he always like this, obviously not serious about her, obviously just playing with her, yet always making her feel like she's being cared for and valued by him.
"I've brought it." He cared about her so much that she couldn't make herself cold and hard anymore.
"Well, you have fun and stay in the campsite, don't run around alone, especially at night." He reminded her with concern.
His heartstrings were stirred again, and his low voice came through the receiver like a miracle, as if it had temperature, "Got it."
"Are you coming back tomorrow?"
Just as she thought he was definitely going to hang up, he suddenly spoke again.
"No, we'll climb the mountain tomorrow and return the day after tomorrow evening." She had just found out too, and it turned out to be that long.
"The day after tomorrow?" His voice was tinged with displeasure, "Got it."
"Where are you camping?"
"On top of the Great Black Mountain."
Ye Anning held the phone in a daze, and just as she hung up, she thought she heard him muttering softly on the other end, "Little thing, so heartless, running away so far and leaving me alone at home."
His complaining tone suddenly softened her heart, as if a picture of his lonely figure was unfolding before her eyes.
"Anning, come and help."
She heard her colleague calling her and slowly came back to herself, "Coming."
In the evening, they had a barbecue and lit a bonfire. Everyone gathered around the fire and danced together. Even colleagues who didn't usually talk to each other seemed to have become familiar with each other in an instant. They held hands, and she was also infected by this warm atmosphere.
Especially when she saw those boys and girls playing together, snatching food from each other, she suddenly saw the vibrant youth, reminiscent of her school days with Tian Xin.
Her friends were all taken away by Ye Mingzhu in various ways, and only Tian Xinnian was left, but she didn't feel lonely because having Tian Xinnian alone was enough.
A friend who can accompany you in laughter and tears, and feels more heartache than their own when they see you get hurt, one is enough.
Colleagues came to call her, pulled her up by the hand and everyone surrounded her to dance the rabbit dance. Ye Anning hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time.
She inadvertently collided with Song Bingchen's deep gaze, his eyes reflecting the flames made her look a bit unreal, Ye Anning averted her gaze, she felt guilty.
Later, they got tired of jumping and eating, so everyone split up to play poker. Two students came over to call her, she originally agreed, but as soon as she knew Song Bingchen was there, she started yawning and pretending to be sleepy, "No way, I'm a bit sleepy, let's play another day."
"No, teacher, stay and play with us." A female classmate pulled her, acting coquettishly.
"No way, I'm too old for this, I'm useless now. After a whole night of fussing, I've lost all my energy. Please spare me!"
"Teacher, you're talking nonsense! You're not old at all, you look even younger than us!"
"You play, you play." She was annoyed by them and pulled her away, but she still didn't know how to face Song Bingchen. If he said those words again, what should she do?
"Teacher is tired, let her rest, we'll play by ourselves." Suddenly spoke up Song Bingchen who was leaning against the tree and had been silent all along.
Song Bingchen was indeed the so-called child king, wherever he went, saying a word had a convincing magic power, and those two people let go of her hand, but their expressions were somewhat lost.
Ye Anning didn't dare look at him either and hastily retreated into the tent, zipping it up.
Outside, you can still hear the sound of laughter and commotion, but this side of the tent seems to be a small world of its own. She actually prefers this feeling of being alone, maybe it's because she's been lonely for too long.
She opened her phone, and the dark tent suddenly lit up. Her fingers moved unconsciously, and the screen interface went to the recent calls. She saw that familiar number.
What's wrong with her, she actually thought of calling him, isn't she eager to stay away from him?
But when he hung up the phone, that voice with a hint of resentment kept echoing in his ears, was he feeling suffocated at home alone?
Outside there were so many people, it was very lively, she thought of such a big villa but only he was alone, as if she could deeply feel his loneliness.
When she looked at the screen again, the number had somehow been dialed and her heart tensed up immediately. She bit her lip, thinking about how to explain to him why she was calling.
As soon as the phone was connected, her heart seemed to be in her throat.
"I, I didn't mean to call you, it's just that you said I left you alone at home earlier, I..."
"Sorry, Jun is not here right now. Is there something I can help you with?" A woman's cold voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, and Ye Anning's heart was stuck in her throat, choking on a mouthful of blood. "Sorry, I dialed the wrong number."
She almost immediately hung up the phone, and if she had waited another second, she would have burst out laughing at her own foolishness.
She actually still thought he would be alone, she was so foolish, he wasn't the only woman, what identity did he have, with just a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of women would come one after another, would he be lonely?
Ye Anning, you're really a joke!
Chu Qiao's cold eyes fell on the phone in her palm, as if she could burn through the three words "Ye Anning" on it. She had finally managed to have a meal with Pei Jun, and yet Ye Anning was still bothering her?!
Chu Qiao's face flashed a hint of gloom, she was about to put down her phone but after thinking for a moment, she quickly deleted the call record from just now, only then did she put her phone back in its original position.
Her heart was a little nervous, and when she saw Pei Jun come back, she hastily picked up the red wine and continued drinking to ease her tension.
Pei Jun sat down for a while, his fingers on the keyboard were dimly lit, and he didn't see any incoming calls. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Have you eaten?" he asked in a low voice.
"I've finished eating, but you haven't eaten much. Doesn't the food here suit your taste?" Chu Qiao asked softly, her considerate demeanor particularly endearing.
"Not hungry." Pei Jun shifted his gaze from his phone and looked at her, saying lightly, "Let's go."
Chu Qiao gazed at his tall and slender back, gritted her teeth and followed him.
"Jun, why don't you come over to my place tonight?" Chu Qiao leaned in close, wrapping her arms around his, looking endearingly charming.
A whiff of perfume wafted up, although not as thick as other women's, but he suddenly felt a bit pungent because someone never wore perfume and only had the faint scent of bath gel on her body.
Her eyebrows furrowed and her eyes gleamed with a stern light, "I'm driving."
Chu Qiao's face stiffened, and she obediently sat back in the passenger seat, biting her lip, with a hint of sadness on her face.
In the quiet carriage, a mobile phone suddenly rang. Pei Jun raised an eyebrow and his mouth corners slightly curved up, but when he saw the number displayed on it, the curve of his mouth slowly disappeared.
"What's wrong?"
A voice devoid of any warmth on the other end of the phone made Ling You jump, "Damn, did you eat explosives? I'm coming out, are you coming or not?"
The third watch has arrived! There's also one more final update!
