Chapter 247: 243: Collision in the air
Actually, Cen Jin is interested in getting a driver’s license. She thinks it would be much more convenient if she could drive, especially since once she buys a car, she won’t have to worry about the weather or need a taxi wherever she goes.
She even asked Jiang Baizhou about this before, but Jiang Baizhou didn’t seem very optimistic about it, so she didn’t pursue it further.
Today, though, these two women are hoping she’ll get a license and be their driver so they can drink, thinking it’s a great idea. They’re dreaming before it’s even night.
"Stop daydreaming. Even if I start learning now, I wouldn’t be able to get one in time to help you guys. So hurry up and decide! Whose car are we taking? Or should we just call a taxi and get separate cabs to go home afterwards? It’s already 4:47, and by the time we get there, it’ll be almost 5:30. It’s quite a distance from Feici’s place to Yuanji, and if we’re late, there’ll be a queue there. I really don’t want to wait in line!" Cen Jin cast a glance at them, shattering their current fantasy.
"Then let’s just call a cab! Come on!" Yu Feici pouted and turned to leave.
The three of them finally stopped a taxi by the roadside and headed to Yuanji. On the way, Yu Feici, usually the most talkative, suddenly became extraordinarily quiet, fiddling with her phone intensely without anyone knowing who she was angrily chatting with, sometimes even looking like she was on the verge of rage.
Cen Jin and Lu Shishu looked at her like that, their lips twitching slightly as they shook their heads helplessly, saying nothing.
Judging by her expression, the person she’s chatting with must be the enemy she made yesterday; otherwise, she wouldn’t be this agitated.
As they were getting close to Yuanji, Yu Feici angrily put her phone away and accidentally bumped into Lu Shishu beside her. Lu Shishu looked at her fiery figure and chuckled lightly: "You’re mad, but don’t take it out on me, okay? I’m innocent. Who’s angering you like this?"
"Who else but that..." Yu Feici blurted out but remembered they were in a taxi, and it wouldn’t be good for others to overhear, especially since her rumored affair with Ji Ye is all over the place now. So she quickly shut her mouth, fake coughed twice, and gave them a knowing look: "Cough, you get it. Just when we got in the cab, he suddenly added me and talked about what you saw today. Damn, it pissed me off. Arrogant! I just blocked him."
"You blocked him?" Cen Jin widened her eyes in disbelief. Other girls would dream of this, and she just casually blocked him.
Yu Feici glanced at her sideways: "Want me to give you his WeChat so you can ask for a signed photo or something?"
"No, thanks!" Cen Jin averted her gaze; she’s not interested in the fan-chasing stuff.
"I don’t feel like saying much on WeChat. Tomorrow, I’m going to find him in person and sort this out. Otherwise, people will think we agreed to this situation, and that won’t do."
Lu Shishu laughed: "Come on, he’s handsome at least, right? Can’t you be a bit more ladylike? There was a time you couldn’t move when seeing a handsome guy. Now even seeing one makes you so grumpy?"
"Is he handsome? Fine, I admit he looks quite decent and fits the handsome category. But... with his arrogant and self-centered personality, I don’t care." As soon as Yu Feici finished speaking, the car arrived at Yuanji’s entrance, and she quickly stepped out: "Forget it, let’s not talk about these mood-killing things. Hurry up, hurry up, or you’ll be the ones crying when we have to queue!"
Cen Jin and Lu Shishu were dragged into Yuanji by her. There were quite a few people inside, and there was only one table left for them, so they grabbed the opportunity and sat down. Since Lu Shishu didn’t like spicy food and meat much, they ordered a yin-yang pot base and some sides that all three liked.
Lu Shishu ordered four cans of beer since what she usually drank wasn’t available, and she found the other drinks unappetizing; so beer seemed the better choice.
While they were ordering drinks, Cen Jin took out her phone and sent Jiang Baizhou a WeChat message, and soon Jiang Baizhou responded with a seemingly indifferent ’Hmm’ without further elaboration.
Cen Jin stared at that ’Hmm’ for a while before typing again: "Are you still busy? Would you like to join us for dinner? Feici and Shishu are treating."
After about half a minute, Jiang Baizhou replied with a ’Sure’, then added, ’I’ll be there around six after I finish my work.’
Cen Jin smiled sweetly and sent a cute sticker saying ’waiting for you’.
"Cen Jin, do you want to ask Ling Ran and Yun Xi to join us?" Just as Cen Jin put away her phone, Yu Feici looked over.
"Ling Ran injured her foot, so she can’t come out. Yun Xi might be able to join, but I’m not sure if she’s available. She usually has a very rich social life."
"Why not call and ask? Last time at your treat, I drank too much and didn’t add her on WeChat. Bring her today so that we can exchange contacts."
"Alright." Cen Jin nodded and called Yun Xi directly, who had just finished her work without having figured out where to go fun and eat. When the call came in, Yun Xi naturally didn’t refuse!
As the dishes were being served and they started eating, Yun Xi arrived, greeting Lu Shishu and Yu Feici, then sat down and picked up her chopsticks, starting to enjoy the food without hesitation, also exchanging WeChat and phone numbers with them as she ate.
"By the way, what’s up with Ling Ran and Yun Qi’s matter?" After eating a few bites, Cen Jin suddenly asked.
"You’d have to ask my brother about that. I’m not sure and haven’t asked him. But the hype has died down. If we clear it up now, people would probably say we’re trying to regain attention since we didn’t clear things earlier when it was trending. Conversely, if we cleared it back then, people might call us guilty and hurriedly trying to clarify. Sigh, netizens today are really hard to please," Yun Xi replied, munching away with her words somewhat unclear.
After hearing Yun Xi’s words, Yu Feici suddenly paused her eating, lifting her eyes to glance at Cen Jin and Lu Shishu, pulling a long face.
Seeing this, Cen Jin and Lu Shishu couldn’t help but laugh, naturally understanding why she was like this.
"Lu the Painter?" Amidst their lively chatter, a particularly clear and melodious female voice suddenly echoed.
Lu Shishu reflexively turned her head towards the sound. Five familiar figures came into view; her gaze moved slightly, locking with a pair of particularly serene, deep ocean-like dark eyes in midair.
