Chapter 47

"Jian, you're awake?"

Yun Kun sat on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper.

"Dad."

Jocelyn York leaned against the doorframe of the room, peeking her head in and looking around.

"What are you looking for?"

"Nothing, nothing."

She still felt a bit dizzy, and the alcohol did not seem to have dissipated even after a night's sleep.

"The Southern boy has already gone back."

"Oh..."

She hesitated for a moment and then picked up the glass of water prepared for her on the coffee table, drinking it in one gulp.

"Last night, he left in such a hurry. I told him to stay a bit longer, but he wouldn't."

Yun Kun said, throwing the newspaper aside and looking at her.

"Did something happen? Oh... You were so drunk, you probably don't remember."

"Yeah, yeah..."

Jocelyn York took a deep breath. How could she not remember? She clearly did such a thing...

"Oh, by the way, I'll secretly tell you~"

Yun Kun smiled mysteriously at her.

"He's the one who carried you to bed!"

"Dad!!"

A surge of heat rushed to her head, and she stomped her feet, blushing.

"Heh heh, my child, why are you so shy? It's not embarrassing~"

"..."

"Hey~"

Seeing that Jocelyn York remained silent, he sighed.

"What I mean is you should thank him properly!"

"No need for you to tell me."

"Why are people shy? Because of love, right? ♪ ♫ ~~"

Yun Kun said, closing his eyes and pretending to play the piano with his hands.

"Tsk, do you even know how to play the piano? Really..."

Jocelyn York couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with her father. He was the owner of the largest piano store in the city, but he didn't understand pianos at all. It would be embarrassing if that got out.

"I'm going to work."

"Be careful on the way."

After changing her shoes, she hurriedly left before her dad could start talking again.

She just didn't know how she should face him next time...

...

"Samson Nan."

"Samson Nan."

"Samson Nan!!"

"Huh?"

Samson Nan snapped back to reality.

"Why are you spacing out? What's wrong?"

It was his colleague, Li Xing.

"Is there something?"

"Yes, you've been staring at this damn computer screen for at least ten minutes! Oh~~ I know."

Li Xing slid his chair over, leaning close to him, and smirked, elbowing him.

"You've got a girlfriend, huh?"

"Huh?"

"What are you pretending for! That's why you're so absent-minded, right? How about giving me some information? Is she from our company?"

This Li Xing, although in his early thirties, had a personality like a little girl and especially loved gossiping.

"No."

"Not from our company... wait a minute, there really is one!"

"Go away! You're annoying."

Samson Nan waved his hand impatiently.

"If you're annoyed, you should say it and let your bro be happy... no, let me cheer you up!"

He said, looking around.

"Seriously, who is it? Have I met her? Oh, is your younger sister pretty?"

"You're stupid. Get lost, I'm busy."

Samson Nan glanced at him.

He started drawing on the computer again, but what was he drawing? He didn't even know.

"Young man, let me ask you, what's the most important thing in architecture?"

Li Xing seemed undeterred by his indifference and couldn't sit still, so he came over to strike up a conversation again.

"That's right, inspiration!"

Even though he hadn't said anything.

"Now the question is, where does this inspiration come from?"

"Heh heh, you're the master, you tell me~"

Samson Nan said, placating him while taking out his phone and browsing the web. He didn't have the mood to draw anyway.

"Women!"

"Huh~~~What?"

He looked at his phone, though he had no idea what Li Xing was talking about, he decided to react anyway."Ah~ I can't explain it to you. Once you get married, turn off the lights, get on the bed, inspiration will naturally come~ Haha," Li Xing exaggeratedly laughed and patted his back.

"..."

He was speechless. So he just wanted to tell a dirty joke.

Most people in the design institute weren't big talkers. Li Xing was an exception and the only person who bothered to interact with him was probably Samson Nan.

"Seriously, let me tell you something, Xingge," Li Xing looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

"Our company..."

"Which girl in our company is interested in me?" he interrupted.

"Huh?! How did you know?"

"Bro, that joke has been used, can you come up with a new one?"

"Oh, really..."

Only he could use the same old joke for thousands of years...

Beep beep beep... Beep beep beep...

While he was rambling on, Samson Nan's phone started ringing.

He picked up his phone.

The screen showed "Little Dumpling calling."

The background was a picture of Raina Nan making a peace sign at the camera.

"Hey, nice picture!"

Li Xing next to him covered his mouth and laughed, seemingly caught by Samson Nan's comment.

"Excuse me."

He ran to the balcony and pressed the answer button.

"Bro?"

Her voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Little Dumpling, what's up?"

Normally, she wouldn't call him if she didn't have something to say.

"Can you come pick me up after work?"

"Why?"

"I want to..."

"You want to?"

"I want to walk 'Wai Wai.'"

"..."

He was stunned for a moment. So she still remembered that she had a dog. She bought it on a whim and left it in his apartment without taking care of it.

"Huh~ So you think a dog is more important than me?"

"Hehe, I miss you too~"

She knew exactly what he wanted to hear.

"That's more like it. Well, say 'brother'."

Only then did he relax his brows and showed a slight smile.

"I won't."

"Whatever, it's no fun."

"Being stubborn... I have to go now. I have class."

"Okay."

"Bye~"

He hung up the phone and turned around.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the treatment for a sister is just different."

"Eavesdropping is not a good habit."

When did Li Xing come up behind him? He completely didn't notice.

"I didn't hear anything, Greengrass~"

"... Ignoring him is the best choice. Ignore, ignore..."

------

On the other side

"Teacher Yun, bye~"

"Take care on your way home and rest early~"

The students gradually left the classroom.

"Teacher Yun, you should take care of yourself too. You have panda eyes now."

"Hehe, I know. Thank you..."

Even the students could tell that she wasn't in a good state today.

Exhaustion clung to her body like vines, enveloping her.

The last class was hers. She packed up her things on the podium, ready to leave.

It was not easy to empty her mind of all thoughts.

She decided to go eat something delicious and take a break.

Once she made up her mind, she left the classroom.

Most of the students had already left the school. She leisurely walked across the playground. When she was about to reach the school gate, she saw a girl walking ahead of her.

Closer inspection.

Wasn't that Raina Nan?

Might as well invite her to go together. No girl would refuse good food.

Thinking like this, she picked up her pace and walked over.

"Yuyu."

She called out her name.

But the next moment, she regretted it.

There was another person beside Raina Nan.

"Luojia?"

She was about to turn around and run, but he stopped her.

...

It was as if her body was bound, unable to move.

Raina Nan stood between them, confused, looking at Jocelyn York and then at Samson Nan.

Stiffly, she turned around, forcing out a faint smile."Well, uh, what a coincidence~" After stammering for a while, she managed to squeeze out these words. She couldn't dare to look at his face and didn't know what expression she had at the moment, probably quite ridiculous...

"If there's nothing else, I'll go first." She lowered her head and walked past him.

"Luo Jia, wait!" His voice was clear and determined.

Once again, it locked her footsteps. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't escape.
