Chapter 275 - Something Happened

“Senior, your phone is ringing.” Tang Xin took the phone to Gu Xingyun, who was busy in the kitchen.

Gu Xingyun looked at the caller ID with a serious face. He wiped his hands on his apron and took it, “I’m Gu Xingyun… what?! How did that happen? Okay, I’ll come immediately!”

During the call, Gu Xingyun turned off the stove and took off his apron before speaking to Tang Xin, “Xinxin, I have a patient who’s having some problems, I need to go back immediately. You… maybe I’ll order something for you instead.”

“Senior, hurry and go, don’t worry about me, you’ve already made two dishes.” Tang Xin knew it was serious and that he shouldn’t waste any time.

“Then be careful, call me if anything happens.” Gu Xingyun urged worriedly.

And he didn’t leave until Tang Xin nodded and promised.

Tang Xin looked at the two sets of chopsticks and two bowls of rice on the table before sitting down and eating alone.

…

At the cafe.

“Wen Xi, do you think that I’m unsuitable for this position? I feel like I can’t do anything right.”

Zhao Yang sat in front of the counter with her usual red leather jacket. She had been complaining to Wen Xi for more than half an hour and had attracted the attention of most customers.

Wen Xi was glad that most of the customers here were women, or she wouldn’t have had the chance to stand here for so long.

“Since when did the almighty Zhao Yang start to doubt herself? Didn’t you say that you are almost as good as me? Now that I’m gone, why are you so unconfident about yourself?” Zhao Yang loved to compare herself to him and she always wanted to win; she was known for being competitive in the organization.

“Real talk! I don’t know how you are organizing everything so perfect for Brother Yun like you have three heads and six arms or something.” Zhao Yang continued to vent.

“You are doing fine already. You didn’t cause what happened to Miss Xia so don’t be too ashamed of yourself.” Wen Xi saw that she was really upset, so he stopped teasing her and comforted her.

“Do you really think so?” Zhao Yang’s spirits were back up again with his comforting.

Wen Xi nodded in certainty, “You just have to do everything to the best you can so don’t give yourself so much pressure.”

“Thank you, senior, for your advice! I’m gonna go now!” Zhao Yang bowed with her hands in front of her in a heroic manner and left.

Wen Xi frowned and pulled her back, “Zhao Yang!”

Zhao Yang turned around in surprise, “What’s up?”

“You only came here to complain? Is there nothing else you wanted to say?” What happened between them… did she really not care? It was as if nothing had happened?

“What other things?” Zhao Yang was a slow reactor, “What do you mean? Tell me openly, I don’t like guessing games!”

Wen Xi let his hand go in disappointment, “Whatever, go back now, don’t let the boss come look for you.”

“That’s random!” Zhao Yang mumbled at him and left.

Wen Xi watched her disappear and sighed.

Zhao Yang, do you really not understand or are you pretending that you don’t understand?

…

The second day was sunny.

Gu Xingyun didn’t come back last night and Tang Xin called to ask, he said that he was fine but her instincts told her that it wasn’t true. But it was his work and she couldn’t ask too much about it as she didn’t understand what his work was.

After breakfast, she cleaned up the house and at around ten o’clock, she planned to go apartment hunting. However, she saw someone unexpected downstairs, a person that she hadn’t seen for a long time – Zhao Yang!
