Chapter 4: Setting up a Meeting
Chapter 4: Setting up a Meeting
(Translated and Edited By: Nakahara)
Chen Yan sat about waiting all afternoon
He had been checking his WeChat over and over again.
Wechat indeed has a record of adding Yu Qiaoqiao as a friend, but... she hasnt appeared in his friend list.
Meaning, Yu Qiaoqiao did not accept his friend request.
Also, Chen Yan checked the game from time to time.
The main interface of the game showed the approximate location and specific activities that Yu Qiaoqiao was doing.
This afternoon, the pixelated character that looked similar to Yu Qiaoqiao had various bubbles on top of her head, some include [Class], [On the Road], [Working].
She seemed to be very busy. However, it proved that the girl is very independent and motivated.
This made Chen Yan feel that he had not succeeded in becoming a rich man. As soon as the plan had started, it all came raining down.
Chen Yan waited until the crack of dawn, growing a bit tired as he awaited Yu Qiaoqiao's confirmation of his friend request.
Minutes later, the request was accepted, and a flow of messages appeared on Chen Yans phone.
From top to bottom.
[The other party had made a transfer of 11.5 yuan to you.] ($1.90)
[Sorry, I'm really sorry.]
[I came back a bit late and was dragged to class by my roommate. Later, because I had to work after class, it was too late for me to return to the dormitory, so I didn't grab my phone until after work.]
[Are you waiting? If so, I'm really sorry.]
Looking at Yu Qiaoqiao's series of apologies, Chen Yan's grievances after waiting for a day disappeared.
He didnt comment on Yu Qiaoqiaos money transfer, instead, he replied thoughtfully,
[You said you havent got your phone until now?]
Yu Qiaoqiao replied in seconds, [That's right. Im really sorry.]
Chen Yan's eyes immediately lit up, as he pondered slightly, and decided to tentatively understand Yu Qiaoqiao's personality and the system's definition of "feeding".
So, he directly replied, [Its okay. Then you dont have a cell phone, and you dont have money to check out. I guess you didnt even eat dinner, right? Come out for dinner together. That's it. See you at the convenience store.]
After finishing his response, Chen Yan put his phone back in his pocket and went outside of his room.
......
At the other end of the phone.
Yu Qiaoqiao was holding a stainless steel bowl with bulging cheeks, and eating instant noodles.
Seeing Chen Yan's text message, she was stunned there. Her eyes filled with doubts.
She had never encountered such a situation. She swallowed the instant noodles in her mouth with difficulty, picked up her mobile phone, and quickly typed.
[Huh?]
[I've eaten already.]
[Im not lying!]
After a while, seeing that Chen Yan did not reply, Yu Qiaoqiao scratched her head in distress and texted again.
[Actually, I am eating now... I am not going out. Thank you though.]
[Im really eating!]
[Look! Instant noodles photo.jpg]
[Chen Yan, are you still there?]
Yu Qiaoqiao sent more several messages in a row.
However, because she lives in an orphanage, she didn't have many friends since she was a child.
Before university, she didn't know how to dress up, and she didn't know how to chat as no one tried to pursue her.
As a result, she was at a loss when a guy didnt listen to her arrangements and instead took it upon himself to initiate a meeting.
Ah, what to do
Lets leave him alone?
Thats no good
He helped me this morning.
But, going out to meet him at this time is dangerous.
Im a girl, its too unsafe to meet a stranger so late, isnt it?
Yu Qiaoqiao bit her lips and hesitated for a while.
Then she put down the instant noodles, walked out of the bedroom with her mobile phone, and made a voice call to Chen Yan.
"Beep...beep..."
For a moment, it didnt connect.
Calling again.
"Beep...beep..."
Still, no one answered.
Yu Qiaoqiao's raised her beautiful faint eyebrows.
Did Chen Yan already go to the convenience store? Then... Just like this morning, I went out in a hurry and didn't get my mobile phone?
Wont it be coincidental?
What to do then.
Yu Qiaoqiao, who is kind by nature, hesitated even more...
And just when Yu Qiaoqiao came to a decision, the door of the dormitory opened, and a female roommate walked in holding a washbasin.
Seeing Yu Qiaoqiao holding her mobile phone and standing by the window, she asked curiously, "What's wrong, Qiaoqiao?.
Yu Qiaoqiao woke up from her train of thoughts, looked at her roommate, and hesitated to talk about Chen Yan with her.
However, managing to say the words, her roommate listened to what Yu Qiaoqiao said, the roommate patted Yu Qiaoqiao on the shoulder and indifferently said, "What's the matter with this. Isn't it just meeting someone! I'll accompany you!.
Yu Qiaoqiao was a bit worried, We wont be safe, though?.
The roommate replied, "What are you worried about. I'm a taekwondo expert!.
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at her roommate, always feeling that her eyes flashed with gossip and eagerness.
But, she was so positive and cheerful that it was hard to refuse.
Under the instigation of her roommate, she decided to go meet Chen Yan
Before leaving, Yu Qiaoqiao pitifully glanced at the half-eaten instant noodles on her table.
What a pity, that was my favorite instant noodles with braised beef flavor...
.........
The convenience store downstairs at Chen Yans house is not far from Kotoshima University.
After leaving the east gate of Kotoshima University, it's just across a road.
Therefore, walking for five minutes, they left the school gate and crossed the road. The two girls came to the convenience store.
They looked all around but, Yu Qiaoqiao did not see Chen Yan.
She couldn't help but dial a call to Chen Yan but it didn't connect.
Yu Qiaoqiao started to think for the worse.
Why can't he get in touch?
Did his phone battery die?
Or did he accidentally fall down the stairs and die?
Otherwise, why would he not appear?
Her roommate's eyes were bright at first, but after waiting for a while, the excitement subsided, and she yawned on the side while asking, "Where is the friend you are talking about? Why dont I see him?.
Yu Qiaoqiao opened her mouth to explain, but thats when Chen Yan spoke from behind, Qiaoqiao, here!.
Yu Qiaoqiao and her roommate looked in the direction where Chen Yans voice came from and saw a barbecue shop not far from the convenience store.
The business in the shop was booming, inside and outside, meanwhile, Chen Yan is sitting at a small square table outside the shop, waving at the two.
Seeing Chen Yan, Yu Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank god, he didnt fall.
