After returning to her room, she specifically noticed the clock on the wall, the hour hand pointing to “2”.
…Why was this person still not sleeping at two in the morning?
As Lin Zhexia thought about this, the waiter happened to serve the dishes: “Hello, all your dishes are served. Please enjoy your meal.”
She came back to her senses and said, “Thank you.”
By this time, Chen Lin and Tang Shuxuan’s attention had already been drawn to the newly served dishes.
It was just as well that she didn’t want to continue talking about it, so she took the opportunity to change the subject: “Let’s eat.”
Before eating, she took pictures of the food on the table, sent them to Chi Yao, and captioned them:-
Don’t be too jealous, Dad
Chi Yao was probably still on the road, but he replied quickly-
Can you walk now?
Lin Zhexia replied: It doesn’t hurt anymore. I can walk.
She continued typing: And don’t make it sound like I’m disabled-
After Chi Yao went to the neighboring city, their communication could only rely on the internet.
But even through the network, she could understand Chi Yao’s whereabouts, knowing that the school had rented them a hotel, that they needed to train intensively, so they would stay for three days.
After Chi Yao sent photos of the hotel, Lin Zhexia chatted with him on WeChat: Your hotel is so big, I’m so envious. I’ve never stayed in such a big hotel in my life.
Chi-dog: Too much, tone it down
Lin Zhexia: Oh, I just wanted to give you some face
Chi-dog: Not needed
…
After a while, she poked him again: What are you doing?
Chi-dog: [Photo]
Chi-dog: Working on problems.
In the past, Chi Yao would also tell her these things, but at that time, she was only focused on arguing with him and didn’t pay much attention to the content.
Unlike now.
Strangely, she looked at the photo Chi Yao sent for a long time.
In the corner of the photo, Chi Yao’s hand resting on the test paper was captured.
She had to admit, knowing all his activities at all times made her very happy-
In the hotel.
“We originally borrowed a classroom,” the team leader teacher said while guiding their intensive training in the room, “but there was a miscommunication, so we’ll make do in the hotel for now. We have six people in our team, two tables should be enough.”
Chi Yao and Xu Ting sat together.
He held a pen in one hand, with a test paper spread out in front of him.
A mobile phone was blatantly placed beside the test paper.
Xu Ting: “I admire you, still able to reply to messages.”
Chi Yao replied to a message: “Don’t you have a phone?”
Xu Ting: “No one sends me messages.”
Chi Yao ignored him.
Xu Ting casually joked: “You two are close brothers—can you get Summer-bro to send me some messages too? My phone might rust from not being used.”
This time Chi Yao reacted. He used one hand to grab Xu Ting’s test paper along with his pen, then tossed it across to the other side.
“Change seats,” Chi Yao said, “you sit across.”
Xu Ting: “…”
A full day of intensive training quickly passed.
After nightfall, the training members each returned to their rooms to rest.
The team leader reminded them: “Everyone, go to bed early, don’t stay up late, conserve your energy.”
After returning to his room, Chi Yao took a shower, but he didn’t go to bed after his shower.
The single suite was very quiet. Outside the window, it was pitch black. He sat with his legs bent on the chair by the window, still holding a pen, occasionally using the paper on his knee to write and scribble.
But most of the time, he simply held the pen and stared blankly out the window.
The black pen spun casually between his fingers. Time passed, and the clock on the wall turned accordingly.
The hour hand quickly passed three o’clock-
Three in the morning.
Lin Zhexia was awakened by an alarm she had specially set.
