Chapter 44 – Sudden invitation from roommate
The process of buying a phone was simple and quick. With just over 1,000 RMB, Shen Gu bought a nice phone for Lin Mumu. The owner of the small phone shop had never seen a customer buy a phone so quickly, from choosing among the many phones on display to paying, Shen Gu took less than two minutes. He didn't even need the owner's usual persuasive sales pitch. After urging him to install the system quickly, Shen Gu found out that the camera function of the phone could be used without installing the system, so he grabbed the phone and left with Lin Mumu.
"Little brother, you can't use this phone without installing the system!"
As Shen Gu and the beautiful woman next to him were about to disappear from the shop's door, the owner with a conscience hurriedly shouted behind them.
"It's okay, as long as it can take pictures!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Gu, who was eager to take Lin Mumu to Sichun Lake, had already disappeared from the shop owner's sight!
"How rich is he?"
The shop owner, who was incredulous, shook his head and sighed.
"Spending over a thousand yuan just to take pictures?"
Then he explained to himself:
"Actually, when you think about it, it's not that bad. If you don't have money, can you still have such a beautiful girlfriend?"
"When I first came into the shop, I was amazed at how beautiful his girlfriend was!"
"But if you're really rich, why not just buy an expensive one for your girlfriend?"
"Or do I think my small shop is not trustworthy, so I bought a camera phone for my girlfriend first?"
Thinking of this, the phone shop owner felt that his "reasonable analysis" was even more inexplicable.
But he sold a phone in just a few minutes today, so he was still very happy!
After leaving the phone shop, Shen Gu told Lin Mumu the approximate location of Sichun Lake in the campus of Dong University.
"If you can't find it, you can ask a male student on campus."
"I think with your current appearance, not only will you find a male student to ask for directions, but the male student will probably be eager to take you there!"
Shen Gu finally found a chance to tease Lin Mumu during this time.
However, Lin Mumu smiled proudly, patted Shen Gu's shoulder and teased him back:
"Good to know, cherish me in the future!"
This sentence left Shen Gu speechless, and he couldn't help but think to himself:
"If you were a normal girl, I might be moved!"
"But when a cat says such ambiguous things to me, it feels strange no matter how I listen to it!"
But he didn't say these thoughts to Lin Mumu on the street. He just smiled slightly, patted Lin Mumu's shoulder and said:
"Go quickly!"
"I'm still waiting for you to figure out the situation and think about how to resolve this crisis!"
Just as Lin Mumu was walking alone towards the campus of Dong University, Shen Gu's phone suddenly rang!He saw that the number on the screen belonged to his roommate Wang Ning.
Before he and Su Ziqing "officially announced" their relationship, Wang Ning had mocked him for being a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
And after their relationship as "lovers" became known throughout the school, he, like Shen Gu's other two roommates, initially had feelings of envy and jealousy, but then began to show signs of distancing himself from Shen Gu because of his sudden "skillfulness".
"I thought that after offending the powerful guy in school, they wouldn't want to contact me on their own!"
Shen Gu felt very happy when he saw that Wang Ning was calling him.
After all, they had been roommates for more than two years. Although Shen Gu had a low status in the dormitory before, he always felt that the fate of being able to live together and the long-term friendship that had formed was still very valuable, even if they were just joking around most of the time.
"Hello?"
Shen Gu answered the phone happily.
"Shen, Shen Gu? It's Wang Ning!"
Wang Ning on the other end of the phone seemed a bit nervous.
"Do you need something from me? When I returned to the dormitory this afternoon, I saw that none of you three were there."
Shen Gu could not guess why Wang Ning was nervous just from his tone, so he casually talked about some dormitory matters and waited for the other party to say the purpose of the call.
"Ah, it's like this!"
Wang Ning on the phone was silent for a moment, and then said with an overly enthusiastic tone to Shen Gu:
"Last time, didn't Lu Hao say that he wanted to take me and Zhang Yue to invite you and Su Ziqing to dinner?"
"Because of that scoundrel Jiao Huang's interference, we didn't end up eating together."
"We don't have classes this afternoon, so the three of us are bringing our girlfriends out to play. Lu Hao suggested that we all find a good restaurant in the city and have dinner together!"
Shen Gu seemed unaware of the new situation on the campus bulletin board of the Sichun Lake. Perhaps it was because he had been outside all afternoon, and the "bad guy" who posted the photo of him and Wu Jiayi should have done it after noon.
Since that was the case, he didn't want to talk to Wang Ning about this annoying and still unclear matter right now.
He just told Wang Ning:
"According to Su Ziqing's daily study plan, she still has a lot of knowledge to learn, so she probably doesn't have that much time to go to the city with you for dinner today!"
This kind of excuse would be lame to describe others, but when used on Su Ziqing, Wang Ning couldn't help but believe it.
"Are you still going to accompany her to study?"
Wang Ning, who sounded very disappointed, quickly made a compromise invitation:
"A lot has happened recently, and we've been wanting to talk to you about it!"
"But you didn't come back all night last night, and you took your books and left in a hurry before the third and fourth classes this morning!""Su Ziqing, if you can't make it, come join us for a meal!"@@novelbin@@
"Our girlfriends are all very curious about how you managed to win Su Ziqing over!"
Faced with Wang Ning's repeated enthusiastic invitations, Shen Gu, who didn't want to become more distant from his three roommates, finally agreed with a nod.
He asked Wang Ning to send him a location on WeChat, and they agreed to meet there in just over an hour, which was four o'clock in the afternoon.
From here, it would take less than half an hour to get to the city center by taxi.
A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.
The reason for meeting a little later was mainly because Shen Gu wanted to wait for the news about "Spring Lake" that Lin Mumu was bringing back.
Of course, the reason he gave to Wang Ning was that he needed to accompany Su Ziqing in her studies for a while in the afternoon, and he wouldn't be able to accompany her in the evening.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Gu returned to his "rental room."
While waiting for Lin Mumu to return, he used the draft box function in WeChat to write a draft explaining to Su Ziqing, which he planned to modify and send after Lin Mumu brought back the exact information.
"I hope she doesn't block me before I can explain myself on WeChat!"
Shen Gu, who was halfway through writing the draft, suddenly thought of this and became more worried.
So he tentatively sent a message saying "Are you there?"
To his surprise, WeChat automatically replied to him:
"You are no longer a friend of the other party. You need to add a friend verification before sending a message."
What do you think?
