At this time, it was not yet the evening peak hour, and they also drove fast, so within 20 minutes, the coupe had already stopped in front of the gates of S University.
Ji Zhiyao unbuckled his seatbelt with one hand placed on the door. “Fi-god, thanks. I’ll go ahead.”
“Okay, you can come to the base often when you have time. I’ve already notified security, so they won’t stop you.” Mo Huaifeng paused for moment. “Gotta thank you on behalf of my nephew. He said he isn’t as burdensome now.”
Ji Zhiyao was delighted. “There’s nothing to thank. After all, I was still the one who gained more advantages. I have almost lived the dreams of all internet-addicted youths: becoming friends with Mix battleteam and having a intelligent little disciple.”
One of his feet stepped onto the ground, but he was stopped as he was about to say goodbye once more. “Ji Zhiyao.”
This was the first time Ji Zhiyao had heard Mo Huaifeng call his name since meeting him and was naturally a little stirred. “Yes yes yes, what’s up Fi-god?”
“Your waist is exposed.”
Ji Zhiyao looked down. “…”
Feeling a little embarrassed, Ji Zhiyao tugged his trousers up and did not forgetting to explain. “The waistline of these trousers are too big.”
“You’re too skinny.”
Ji Zhiyao’s fingers halted, and as he was just pondering why the words sounded so gay, he looked up and realized that the car door, not sure when, had been closed, and the person who called him skinny had already driven far away.
He felt slightly gloomy.
Mo Huaifeng had stopped opposite of S University, so Ji Zhiyao stood at the curb waiting for the traffic lights to turn green. In midst of that, he saw a red sign in the middle of the opposite street. On it wrote: “Grilled Sausages, Grilled Cold Noodles, Grilled Squids,” and it just happened that Ning Lichao had mentioned last night that he was craving for some grilled squid…
Hence, after he crossed the road, he walked right to the snack street beside the school gates.
It was evening time, and there were already people in twos and threes in the street. Almost all were loving couples and groups of girls. There were rarely any boys who were alone like Ji Zhiyao, not to mention that he was also good-looking.
Therefore, when he stood with a hand in his pocket with his eyes looking down, quietly waiting for his grilled squid, several bold girls gradually moved closer.
Ji Zhiyao was just watching the elderly shop owner spread cumin powder on his grilled squid when he heard someone voiced out beside him. “Hello, comrade?”
The voice was very close to him. Hence, he instinctively turned his head and saw the two girls not too far away.
One of the girl’s eyes were sparkling, seeing him turned back. There was more excitement than shyness in her eyes as she spoke quickly. “Comrade, I don’t have small change, but I really want to buy some grilled squid. Can you borrow me some spare change, and I will transfer back to you using WeChat?”
Ji Zhiyao glanced at her and roughly guessed that this girl was coming up with an excuse to ask for his WeChat. He found it rude to put the girl in a spot in front of so many people. Thus, he pulled out his wallet, “I’ll treat you. You don’t have to pay me back on WeChat.”
“How could I accept that…” The girl seemingly was not giving up. “Then, you tell me your class and name, I’ll go pay you back after school starts.”
“There’s really no need.”
“No, it must be returned.”
“You…”
Just as Ji Zhiyao was feeling troubled, the elderly shop owner who was watching on by the side brought out a QR code. Beaming with a native S City dialect, he said, “Miss, you can scan to pay here.”
The girl stared at the QR code blankly. “…”
Ji Zhiyao heaved a sigh of relief, and after taking the grilled squid that had been packed from the owner, he took off right away, not sparing an extra glance at the girl who looked terribly embarrassed.
Only after he entered the dorm building did his steps slow down, and he resumed his leisure, veteran-style form.
