After Lu Jingzhi returned, he returned to his room and did not come out for some time.
Lu Ning came out after washing up. Knocking on the door, she walked in while drying her hair.
“Jingzhi, can you help me get my phone?”
When she looked up, she saw Lu Jingzhi sitting by the bed, hugging his computer. She did not know what he was doing, but Lu Ning clearly saw Jiang Zhou’s name and profile picture on the computer screen.
Lu Jingzhi closed the computer and looked up at Lu Ning calmly. “Get what, Sister?”
Lu Ning peered at him. “My phone… What were you doing just now?
Lu Jingzhi hopped down from the bed and walked to her side. “I’m just checking some information. What happened with your phone?”
Lu Ning turned around and brought him into her room. “I dropped my phone under my wardrobe. My hand’s too big, see if you can reach it.”
Nodding, Lu Jingzhi sprawled down and reached into the crevice under the wardrobe.
“Be careful, don’t hurt your hand,” Lu Ning cautioned.
In no time at all, Lu Jingzhi fished out her phone and handed it to Lu Ning. Lu Ning broke into a smile and rubbed Lu Jingzhi’s head. “Thanks, Jingzhi.”
Sitting on the ground, Lu Jingzhi looked at something peeking out from the crevice. He reached in and took out a stack of A4-sized papers.
“Sister, is this yours?
Lu Ning was stunned. Taking the stack, she opened it, puzzled.
She did not remember anything else slipping under.
She walked to the bed and sat down; Lu Jingzhi got up and followed her.
After opening it, Lu Ning instantly shut it again after reading a page. She turned towards Lu Jingzhi and smiled. “Yes, it’s Sister’s. Thank you, Jingzhi.”
Lu Jingzhi looked at Lu Ning and did not say anything else. He simply said,
“You’re welcome.”
As if deliberately trying to change the topic, Lu Ning looked at him. “Sister is going to the racecourse the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come with
Sister?”
Lu Jingzhi nodded. “Okay~”
He lowered his eyes, his gaze peering across the folded stack of paper beside Lu Ning’s hand.
After Lu Jingzhi returned to his room, he sat by the bed and turned on his computer. His fingers flitted across the keyboard; half an hour later, he turned off the computer with a flick of his finger.
At the same time, Jiang Zhou, who was far, far away in the capital, was sitting on his bed happily surfing the internet and looking at some celebrity rumors that had recently leaked out. However, just as he was about to click on it, the internet suddenly went dead.
“Eh?”
He got up and looked at his phone. He tried to connect, but it simply could not be connected to the internet. He was so frustrated that he almost flung his phone away when it suddenly connected. He lay back on the bed gleefully, but before he could bask in his joy for more than two seconds, he became depressed again. He was connected, but he could not go online no matter what.
After being depressed for a bit, he prepared to make a call, but he could not get through even after calling twice.
Staring at his cell phone for a long time, Jiang Zhou punched the air angrily. In the end, he tried a few more times but to no avail. He gave up and struggled with it on the bed another few times before getting up and leaving.
Song Qinghe opened the door and spotted Jiang Zhou standing outside. He wanted to close the door, but Jiang Zhou stopped him. “Save me!”
Song Qinghe turned around and walked in. “What’s happened this time?”
Jiang Zhou followed him in. “I can’t go online anymore.” His voice was filled with grievance.
Song Qinghe sat on the sofa and looked up at him, cold and wordless.
Jiang Zhou leaned over and handed the phone to him. “Help me see what’s going on. Hey, where’s your phone? Let me see if you can get online.”
Song Qinghe pointed with his chin. Jiang Zhou looked over and picked up Song Qinghe’s phone. “Your password…”
Just as Song Qinghe was about to speak, Jiang Zhou tried a few numbers—his phone immediately unlocked.
Jiang Zhou turned to look at him. “You really keep using this number..”
