Chapter 165 - Mother Lin ripped the box with the little jade stamp inside from Ning Zhi. (1)
Ning Zhi, received a message from Lu Jue for a change when school was out.
Ning Zhi had downloaded the chat software for Lu Jue in the past, added him as a friend, and updated her alias on it. She didn’t think it would come into use at all but Lu Jue messaged her today.
Juejue The Precious Treasure: When are you returning?
Zhizhi: Does Xiao Juejue miss me already?
Juejue The Precious Treasure: When are you returning?
Zhizhi: You haven’t answered my question yet. You answer my question first, then I will answer yours.
Ning Zhi saw the duplicated message and wanted to bust out laughing. She could already visualize Lu Jue sitting there with his back straight, expressionless, with the cellphone in his hand, entering each character carefully.
She couldn't help but want to tease him.
Juejue The Precious Treasure: I get out at 5 o’clock.
Lu Jue was reminding Ning Zhi that it was already 5 o’clock and she was already out of school. The subtext was that she should be heading home.
Lu Jue now cared about what time she got out of school?
Zhizhi: I’m on my way, on my way. What made you want to message me today?
A few minutes later, she heard nothing back.
Zhizhi: You didn’t reply back to me?
Zhizhi: Where are you?
Zhizhi: Have you fallen into the toilet?
Juejue The Precious Treasure: No, I didn’t.
When she saw Lu Jue’s response, Ning Zhi could see how Lu Jue was telling her seriously that he did not fall into the bathroom.
She was about to pass out from laughing so hard. How was this man so cute?
The Lu’s chauffeur had already arrived at the front of the school. Ning Zhi got into the car and continued to text Lu Jue happily.
Zhizhi: Next time you don’t respond to me, I am just going to assume that you had fallen into the toilet.
Zhizhi: What are you doing?
Zhizhi: Are you still inside the study?
Juejue The Precious Treasure: Mmm.
And that was how Ning Zhi continued to tease Lu Jue.
Zhizhi: Send over a few little sun emojis.
Zhizhi: Do you know how to do that?
Zhizhi: Look for the sun emoji on the bottom of the chat window.
Juejue The Precious Treasure: Childish you.
Even through the screen, Ning Zhi could feel how cute Lu Jue was. Wuu, how she wanted to rush home and pinch his cheeks.
Suddenly, a call came in.
Ning Zhi looked at the original owner’s memo: Little Aunty. She knew this was Mother Lin.
She had just picked up the phone when Mother Lin’s voice had already come from the other end. “Xiao Zhi, have you been busy lately? Do you have time to come home for dinner tonight? Little Aunty made your favorite dishes.”
Ning Zhi leaned against the back of the chair and adjusted to a comfortable position. The abrupt call from Mother Lin reminded her of the saying there is no such thing as a free lunch.
“Something’s the matter?” Ning Zhi asked straightforward.
“Right, right, right. I do have something important to talk to you about. Its about your parents.” Mother Lin sighed. “Can you bring with you the jade stamp from your parents that I had given to you in the past?”
Ning Zhi’s eyes narrowed. “Is there something wrong with it?”
“It’s too complicated to discuss over the phone. Just bring it with you and I’ll tell you in person.” Mother Lin was being vague about it.
“I have plans today already. Can I come back in the next day or two?” asked Ning Zhi.
Mother Lin paused a little and, not wanting to sound too eager, said, “Okay, just make a trip back within the next couple of days.”
“Don’t worry, Little Aunty. I always put matters regarding my parents first.”
Mother Lin chitchatted some more with Ning Zhi and asked about her wellbeing before they ended the call.
Something occurred to Ning Zhi and she called up Mother Lu next.
Mother Lu had been resting up in the hospital after her surgery. Ning Zhi asked about Mother Lu’s well being first before she cut to the main reason that she was calling.
