Chapter 26: Chapter 26 The Unexpected Guest in His Room 1

Translator: 549690339

The calls were non-stop.

I was really exhausted and had no interest in picking up the phone.

1 turned it off, lay down and fell asleep immediately.

I slept like a log.

It wasn’t until after six in the evening that I woke up.

Hunger woke me up!

I got up, took a shower and found that the refrigerator was empty.

I put on my coat, ready to go out for some grub and in the meantime, turned on my mobile phone.

I checked who had been calling me.

Ye Mengyan, Shen Yishu, Annie and several colleagues from the office had all called.

I responded to each one…

I didn’t feel like calling Ye Mengyan and so I just sent her a brief text message-

“What do you want?”

She responded quickly,

“Oh, 1 saw on the news that Elder Brother Gu got stabbed. I wanted to ask you about it.’

“Indeed he did!”

“Thank you, I have already heard!” Subsequently, I tried calling Wenya.

Her phone was off.

I wondered if she really did leave town. Then came the call from Shen Yishu.

“Are you free? I’d like to talk.”

“Sure!”

I was starving and didn’t mind having company for dinner.

We settled into a budget-friendly tiny eatery, ordering a few stir-fried dishes.

Shen Yishu looked ragged!

As if he had been terribly shocked.

I ordered a cold beer and offered him a glass.

“I’m not a drinker!”

His cheeks reddened.

“It’s alright, this is a light brew. All of us get from no to yes…”

Fresh out of college, he really isn’t a drinker yet.

But to survive in this world, young men have to learn some social niceties, like drinking.

That’s the first step to liquor table etiquette. If you want to strike some business, you got to learn how to drink.

Of course, I did have my reasons for inviting Shen Yishu for a drink.

Shen Yishu is still rather naive, unsuspecting of me and I started feeling a bit guilty. Was I corrupting a good young man?

“Come on, let’s drink up!”

I encouraged him to drink.

Shen Yishu, albeit hesitantly, downed three glasses. His cheeks flushing, he put down the glass and asked me,

“Tell me, how can one win back a girl’s heart?”

I hesitated momentarily, “Did something happen between you and Ye

Mengyan?”

Shen Yishu let out a sigh, appearing agonized.

“l always thought we’d just happily go on. She was a very simple girl when I first met her. At that time, stars shone in her eyes.”

Shen Yishu seemed a bit tipsy.

Truth be told, purely from an appearance perspective, he and Ye Mengyan did indeed make a good match.

“Throughout the three to four years at college together, our relationship was great. But as graduation neared, she suddenly changed.”
