Chapter 802: Waiting for the Child to Gather His Courage!
How long from now? Rong Si fell silent. He didn’t know how long it would be. It was just that he hoped he would become someone promising and worthy of her soon.
Even if he didn’t answer, Su Jiu knew what it was.
Before the little villain became a big boss, he must have felt inferior deep down and thought that he was not worthy of her. Therefore, even though she had made it so obvious, he still did not dare to tell her his feelings.
Su Jiu was in no hurry. She was always patient when facing him. She could wait until her baby had the courage!
It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of taking the initiative, but she didn’t want to do it so quickly. After all, wasn’t it wonderful to be vaguely ambiguous now?
Rong Si seriously dried Su Jiu’s hair, and Su Jiu closed her eyes in pleasure.
It was still drizzling outside, a steady patter. Every now and then, she could hear thunder in the distance.
After her hair was dry, Su Jiu rolled twice on the bed before hugging the blanket and watching the little villain put the hairdryer away. His every move was pleasing to the eye.
She would keep looking forever if she could!
At that moment, a phone rang.
Recognizing that Rong Si’s phone was ringing, Su Jiu picked up the phone from the bedside table with interest. Waving it at him, she asked, “Big Brother, your phone is ringing. Can I answer it?”
Rong Si nodded without hesitation. “Sure.”
“Sure?” Su Jiu was surprised. “Aren’t you afraid people will get the wrong idea?”
Rong Si looked at her, his dark eyes seeming tinged with amusement. “What sort of wrong idea?”
Well…
Su Jiu choked again. Her ears felt hot. “A wrong idea… a wrong idea that I’m your sister!”
“I think they would be more likely to mistake you for my girlfriend.”
“No way!” Su Jiu was embarrassed and quickly handed the phone to him. “It’s Professor Zhong. Answer it quickly.”
Su Jiu knew Professor Zhong. The little villain had told her on the phone that the professor was a loving and respected old man. He took good care of the little villain, and the little villain respected him as well.
Rong Si walked over to answer the phone. Professor Zhong asked him where he had been and told him to come back early. Rong Si instinctively glanced at Su Jiu. “I’m afraid I can’t”
Professor Zhong frowned. “What do you mean? Our team can’t do without you now. Do you have something urgent to deal with? Do you need help?”
“No, I can manage on my own.”
“Then how many more days off do you need?” Professor Zhong sounded desperate.
Rong Si was perceptive and had no difficulty participating in the research. Now that he was Professor Zhong’s beloved disciple, the professor really wanted him to come back immediately.
Rong Si wasn’t sure. “I don’t know.”
“What is so important that you have to take so many days off?”
Rong Si glanced at Su Jiu again. She was looking at him curiously with big, clear eyes. His lips curved. “A friend is coming over.”
“A friend? Are they important?”
“Yes.” Rong Si didn’t hesitate either.
“Don’t tell me she’s your girlfriend?” Professor Zhong teased him. Hearing Rong Si remain silent for a few seconds as if he had tacitly agreed, he said helplessly, “Alright, your girlfriend is from your homeland, right? It’s not easy being apart. Then spend the next few days with her. But don’t get lost in your happiness and forget that you have a task back here.”
“Got it.”
After the call ended, Su Jiu immediately asked, “Big Brother, did Professor Zhong ask you to go back? When do you plan to leave?”
