He have to admit, that little thing is truly clever.
Jiang Sui was practically laughing with rage.
She'd been frank from the start about asking for leave.
Su Qing's moodiness, presumably a deliberate act, was a distraction, distracting him from those thoughts.
It had disrupted his focus and thoughts; it wasn't a cold at all.
It's just that he wasn't that alert. he just noticed that she was in a bad mood, but he didn't think about the reason or what she thought about.
Jiang Sui sent a text message to Hu Yifan.
As soon as the message was sent, Hu Yifan's phone rang directly back at Jiang Sui.
"Brother Sui, you know?"
Hu Yifan's jaw dropped as he ate his apple. The message contained nothing but a simple question mark.
Jiang Sui remained silent, and Hu Yifan was naturally a little anxious.
"No, Brother Sui, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that the girl didn't want me to tell you. She's been having a hard time at school lately, and telling me would be better if she just took some time off and studied at home."
Hu Yifan honestly explained the reasons to Jiang Sui, but Jiang Sui knew none of them were Hu Yifan's reasons. The most important reason was the guilt he could hear in Hu Yifan's voice.
"Hmm."
Jiang Sui's light "hmm" made Hu Yifan even more flustered.
"Brother Sui, there won't be a next time. I won't do this again!"
"I really won't do it next time. Please forgive me."
Hu Yifan was completely panicked. He was unsure, and hearing Jiang Sui's "hmm" made him feel uneasy.
"Hmm, I understand."
The boy's voice was cold, but knowing Jiang Sui, Hu Yifan knew if he was truly angry, he would probably hang up and ignore him. So, Hu Yifan's heart sank.
He was no longer so panicked.
"Then, Brother Sui, when will you arrive? I'll pick you up."
It wasn't that he was being overly attentive; Hu Yifan had been planning to pick him up anyway, but saying it now did seem a bit overly attentive.
"No need. Pei Dai and I'll go."
Hu Yifan knew who Pei Dai was, so he didn't insist on going. "Okay, Brother Sui, just call me if you need anything."
Jiang Sui narrowed his eyes, hummed, and hung up.
Jiang Sui, who had been tempted to call Su Qing, controlled the urge to call the girl.
Listening to Jiang Chenghua's words, he felt Tian Shasha was no ordinary person. He had a feeling he'd discovered something, but he hadn't said anything.
The call lasted for nearly half an hour.
By the time Jiang Sui returned to the dining hall, the food had been reheated.
Mei Yeqin could see that Jiang Sui's mood had soured. The young man's spirits hadn't been high to begin with, and now he was even more sullen.
"Ah Sui, it's not good to waste food. Eat it. We're still in time for the flight."
Pei Dai's voice made Mei Yeqin glance at him. Surprised, she didn't expect Jiang Sui to actually pick up his bowl and eat the remaining half of his rice.
He seemed to understand Pei Dai's words about wasting food.
Even after dinner, Mei Yeqin didn't ask a single question. She simply packed up and sent Pei Dai and Jiang Sui to the airport.
Jiang Sui, who usually sat in the passenger seat, decisively took the back seat, leaving the front passenger seat to Pei Dai.
Pei Dai didn't pretend and got in directly.
