“So you’re Leng’an’s roommate!” The voice on the other end of the line regained its warmth. “I wonder what brings you to me?”

Murong Yumeng didn’t believe a word of what this so-called Zhou Cui’an had said. Although she didn’t know who the caller was, it was unlikely that Ye Leng’an had given her number to this girl. However, it was evident that the caller didn’t have a good relations.h.i.+p with Ye Leng’an.

Hearing Murong Yumeng’s soothing voice, Zhou Cui’an felt somewhat rea.s.sured, but she still didn’t know how to approach the situation. She and Murong Yumeng had never interacted before, so suddenly asking for her help felt rather abrupt. Would she come across as too needy?

There was no response from the other end for a while. If Murong Yumeng hadn’t heard the nervous breaths, she would have thought the call had disconnected.

After some consideration, Murong Yumeng spoke up, “I think it’s inconvenient to discuss this over the phone. Shall we meet in person?”

“Is that alright?” Zhou Cui’an was pleasantly surprised. “Then, when would Senior Sister be available?”

“I’m at the school right now,” Murong Yumeng said slowly. “How about we meet at a café outside the school in half an hour?”

Zhou Cui’an suppressed her excitement. “Okay, I’ll head over right away.”

Even after hanging up, Zhou Cui’an remained excited, her hands trembling. She hadn’t expected her call to Murong Yumeng to go so smoothly.

Now she needed to figure out how to explain things to Murong Yumeng. Though she hadn’t met her in person, rumors portrayed her as a gentle person. So, if she explained her predicament, Murong Yumeng would likely be willing to help.

Zhou Cui’an arrived at the café early, waiting for Murong Yumeng’s arrival.

Half an hour pa.s.sed quickly, but there was no sign of Murong Yumeng. Zhou Cui’an began to feel anxious.

As time went by, her initial excitement turned to disappointment. In the end, her heart grew cold, especially when Murong Yumeng still hadn’t shown up.

She didn’t know if Murong Yumeng had forgotten their appointment or if something had come up.

Regardless, she didn’t dare leave, fearing that Murong Yumeng would arrive and not find her, which would be quite offensive.

Moreover, this was her only chance. If she missed it, she didn’t know what to do next. So, she continued to wait.

As time pa.s.sed, Zhou Cui’an grew increasingly restless. Nearly two hours went by with no sign of Murong Yumeng.

Just as Zhou Cui’an was about to lose hope, a figure suddenly appeared before her, accompanied by a familiar, gentle voice.

“h.e.l.lo, are you Junior Sister Zhou Cui’an?” Murong Yumeng wore a gentle smile. “I’m Murong Yumeng.”

Hearing Murong Yumeng’s voice, Zhou Cui’an’s spirits, which had sunk, immediately lifted. She stood up abruptly.

A sharp creak echoed as Zhou Cui’an’s chair sc.r.a.ped against the floor.

The noise stood out in the quiet café, drawing the attention of others.

Zhou Cui’an realized her actions were inappropriate. Her face turned red under the scrutiny of others, and she felt incredibly awkward as she apologized, “Senior Sister Murong, I’m sorry, I…”

She didn’t know why she was apologizing to Murong Yumeng, but she felt like she had done something wrong.

Though disdain flashed in Murong Yumeng’s eyes, she maintained her calm demeanor. “It’s okay, Junior Sister Zhou. Let’s sit down.”

The two sat down again.

Murong Yumeng ordered a cup of coffee.

After placing their order, Murong Yumeng turned to Zhou Cui’an with an apologetic expression. “Junior Sister Zhou, I’m truly sorry. I intended to meet you much earlier, but an urgent matter came up at the Student Council. I had to deal with it immediately and couldn’t call you. I’m sorry for making you wait.”

“It’s alright, really.” Zhou Cui’an was touched by Murong Yumeng’s apology. She waved it off, saying, “Senior Sister Murong, you’re too kind. To be honest, I’m the one inconveniencing you today. I’m just grateful you agreed to meet me.”

Murong Yumeng smiled and didn’t dwell on it. Instead, she asked, “So, Junior Sister Zhou, why did you call me?”

In truth, Murong Yumeng didn’t have any pressing matters. She simply wanted to keep Zhou Cui’an waiting. The longer Zhou Cui’an waited, the more anxious she would become, which would work in Murong Yumeng’s favor.

However, seeing that Zhou Cui’an had waited even though she was so late, it seemed she was genuinely anxious.

After hearing Murong Yumeng’s words, Zhou Cui’an fell silent. She deliberated on how to broach the subject without sounding too abrupt.

“Junior Sister Zhou, if you have something to say, just say it,” Murong Yumeng said calmly. “Since we’re already here, there’s no need to beat around the bush. If you need my help, just ask. I’ll do my best to a.s.sist you.”

Hearing Murong Yumeng’s gentle encouragement, Zhou Cui’an’s anxiety eased. She took a deep breath and said, “Senior Sister Murong, I actually reached out to you because I need your help with something. The winter break has begun, and I’m looking for a holiday job. However, those companies don’t provide accommodation, and the school doesn’t allow overnight stays, so I…”
