C49 Telephone
After resting for an hour or so on the fourth floor, I took the initiative to tell Uncle Zhao that we could start training. Seeing me like this, Uncle Zhao didn't say anything, he just told me to practice by myself according to the difficulty of yesterday.
He also said that the side effects of overdrawing one's potential were not over yet, and it would be best to wait for the body's function to recover. Although theoretically speaking, a person's potential is limitless, but they still have to dig it out slowly, so that they can't burst it all out at once.
Hearing that, I nodded, and started to train according to what Uncle Zhao had said. Thinking that Big Beard also told me that, I wanted to ask what was going on with my overdraft potential, but after thinking about it for a while, I decided not to, since that's what they said, I will follow their instructions.
Until the end of the night, when I had finally recovered some of my strength, Sister Qing still asked me to call a taxi back today, and I rejected her request. I knew that she was worried that I would be stuck on the road when I was going back, or that I would encounter other dangers, but I had already gotten used to running or walking back from work everyday, so I wasn't used to suddenly letting me ride in the car.
Seeing that, Sister Qing did not force me, she only told me to be careful on the way, I felt warm in my heart and told her that I knew what to do.
Chen Hui and Li Mingjie were not that bored, they had already called for help and came to block me off, so I returned to the dorm safely. When I returned to the dorm, Gangzi and the rest were still awake, but when they saw that I had returned, they immediately surrounded me to ask if I was alright, and Gangzi said with an anxious face, "I heard that Li Mingjie and Chen Hui went to block you off tonight, but when we heard the news, we did not notice any of you guys. No one picked up your call, are you alright?"
I was stunned, seeing the worry in Gangzi and Wu Xiong's eyes, I could not help but smile, they actually went to look for me.
However, when I go to the bar, I only walk and run every day. I didn't tell them about the path, so it was normal that they didn't know about it. They wouldn't be able to find me if they followed the road.
I was moved that they actually went to find me without saying a word, and even went to find me after knowing that Li Mingjie and Chen Hui had brought people to stop me. This meant that they had already planned for a long time to find me, so they would definitely clash with Li Mingjie and Chen Hui.
I shook my head and replied smilingly, "It's alright. It's not that easy for something to happen to me."
Bin was sitting on his bed, playing with his cell phone. When he saw me return, he just glanced at me and didn't say anything.
Hearing me say that was fine, Gangzi and Wu Xiong heaved a sigh of relief, then Gangzi approached me and whispered: "Ah Fan, don't look at that Bun Zi's face, it doesn't matter. In fact, he was the first one to ask for information and was the one who pulled us over to find you.
Actually, I wasn't really that angry with Binzi. I thought about what he had said to me during the day, and it wasn't without reason.
Gangzi's words were completely unnecessary. I smiled and shook my head, telling him that I was not angry, causing him to heave a sigh of relief, and then he smacked me with his fist.
Wang Wenbin who was sitting on the bed suddenly tilted his head and angrily shouted at Gangzi: "Zhou Gang! You are such a f * cking woman! You want to fight, don't you? "
Gangzi was startled, but immediately laughed out loud. He did not refute him and caused Wang Wenbin to feel as if his fist had landed on cotton, and could only sulk.
I smiled. This feeling is really good, just like how we used to when we were playing in the League of Legends, you scolded me and I scolded you.
That night, I slept soundly, or perhaps because I was too tired, and the next day I slept until noon, when I woke up and stretched myself.
Quickly brushing my teeth and washing my face, I picked up my phone to call Lin Mengqi and ask if class was over, then we would go eat lunch together after class. However, before I could call her, a call came in from my phone.
Puzzled, I pressed the answer button and placed it by my ear. A somewhat stiff female voice immediately came over: "Yang Fan?"
I paused, feeling even more suspicious, and replied, "I am. Who are you?"
The person on the other side replied me with an ice-cold tone: "I'm Lin Mengqi's mother."
At this critical moment, if I were to say what I was most afraid of, it would not be Li Mingjie or Chen Hui, nor would it be anything else. It would be towards Lin Mengqi's parents.
Ever since I knew that Lin Mengqi had given her body to me, and from my heart that I should properly protect this kind girl, I have been thinking that one day, I will definitely meet Lin Mengqi's parents and they will find out about the matter between me and Lin Mengqi.
But I thought it would be better if I met them later, when I was able to talk to them face to face.
This phone call caught me off guard. After I thought about it, I understood, it must be because Lin Mengqi had unhesitatingly and honestly told me about our relationship the day before. When Li Mingjie truthfully told me about this matter, and then Lin Yuhang told Lin Mengqi's parents, only then did Lin Mengqi's mother give me a call.
After all, this was my first time talking to Lin Mengqi's mother on the phone. I tried my best to calm down and politely asked, "Hello Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"
But Lin Mengqi's mother didn't seem to appreciate it. She still said to me in that cold and bone-deep voice, "I think we should have a good talk. Commercial Street, Peninsula Coffee Shop, second floor. Come over now."
Her tone was crisp and determined, and she hung up without giving me any room to refuse.
I looked at my phone in a daze, my heart sinking. Lin Mengqi's mother's tone made me subconsciously feel that something was wrong, but thinking about it, I could understand that her family was a big one, and Lin Mengqi was their precious daughter. At least, I didn't hear that Lin Mengqi had any big brothers, and should be the only daughter.
As for me, I am just an ordinary child of a peasant family.
I stood there in hesitation for a long time before giving up on the idea of calling Lin Mengqi. If I can't even deal with her mother, what's the use of calling Lin Mengqi?
Her parents had always been a barrier between her and me.
So after some thought, I gritted my teeth and made up my mind. I cleaned myself up a bit, changed into my proper clothes, and hurried out of the house.
