[God]It’s five o’clock.
[God]Qing Kong, you’re not going to stand me up, are you?
[God]Did something happen to you?
He sent three messages in a row. It was already ten past five!
He glanced at the time, then at the darkening avatar, and the feeling of unease in his heart grew especially strong.
She never misses a planned meeting.
He grabbed his phone and immediately dialed a series of numbers.
Lying on the grass, Meng Shuqing, who just finished sparring with Jian Xing, saw the phone screen and instantly sat up on the lawn. She swiped her phone and held it to her ear, a smile appearing on her lips before she realized it, and said, "Xiao Bai, are you back from country F?"
"I’m older than you." An Bai heard her voice, as cheerful as a nightingale, and the worry in his heart instantly eased.
"Tch."
Meng Shuqing hated this line the most. Just because he’s older, why can’t she call him ’Xiao Bai’?
She just liked calling him Xiao Bai.
"Xiao Bai, where are you?" Meng Shuqing changed the topic.
An Bai slightly smiled and said, "Miss me?"
Meng Shuqing rolled her eyes and said indignantly, "Who misses you?!"
"I’ll be back by National Day. By then, I’ll be staying in Huaxia permanently, so you’ll be seeing me every day. Don’t get too excited!"
An Bai thought about how he had been in country F for years, barely making it back once a year. They had to rely on phone calls to keep in touch, but Meng Shuqing wasn’t a fan of long phone calls. To see Meng Shuqing, he had to rely on photos from home to ease his longing.
"Who’s excited?" Meng Shuqing suppressed her joy, said a few more words, and hung up.
"Boyfriend?"
Jian Xing’s eyes burned with gossip.
"What boyfriend? He’s just my..." Meng Shuqing paused, unsure how to introduce An Bai. She added, "His mom and my mom are really good friends, practically sisters."
"Oh, childhood friends then." Jian Xing looked knowingly.
Meng Shuqing pursed her lips and said, "You’re thinking too much. What childhood friends? He’s not my boyfriend."
"No way." Jian Xing didn’t believe it. She said, "If he’s not your boyfriend, then why did you smile so sweetly just now?"
"Sweetly?"
Meng Shuqing furrowed her brows, wondering where the sweetness was.
"I live in this apartment, where do you live?" Jian Xing asked.
Meng Shuqing said, "I live in building three, on the seventh floor."
Jian Xing blinked and said, "I live in building four, on the seventh floor."
"Such a coincidence!"
Jian Xing felt it was such a coincidence; their apartments were practically next to each other.
"So, what do you like to play?" Jian Xing asked as they walked to the apartment.
"Video games."
Meng Shuqing answered without hesitation. She loved gaming the most.
"Me too!"
Jian Xing was even more excited. They had the same interests and similar temperaments, and by the time they got to the apartment, they were already quite familiar with each other.
They exchanged phone numbers, added each other on WeChat, and even liked the same games.
However, Meng Shuqing preferred playing on the computer, while Jian Xing liked playing on her phone.
"Shuqing, playing on the phone is really fun. You can play anytime, anywhere," Jian Xing said happily, trying to convince Meng Shuqing to play on her phone too.
