“Why did you reject my reservation?”

Bai Zhou shoved this question onto Ji Fanyin the moment they met each other the following morning.

“What reservation?” asked Ji Fanyin innocently. “Did you forget to eat breakfast again? I prepared a sandwich for you.”

“You even locked your schedule!” exclaimed Bai Zhou. He snatched the sandwich from Ji Fanyin’s hand and glanced at it. “Did you agree to travel with someone else, just like how we went to Greece back then? I don’t eat sandwiches bought from convenience shops!”

Ji Fanyin reached forth in an attempt to take her sandwich back. “I made extra this morning. Give it back to me if you don’t want it.”

Bai Zhou subconsciously twisted his body around to ward off Ji Fanyin’s approaching hand. “I won’t give it back to you even if I’m not going to eat it.”

“Don’t eat it then.”

“Why should I listen to you?” Bai Zhou impatiently tore open the packaging and took a huge chomp off the sandwich. The next moment, he widened his eyes in surprise. He quickly glanced down to examine the ingredients in the sandwich. 

The sandwich was specially prepared for Bai Zhou, so it went without saying that Ji Fanyin had chosen everything according to his preferences, be it the bread, filling, or sauce.

She placed her hands behind her back and asked him with a chuckle, “How is it? Delicious, right?”

Bai Zhou continued glaring at her as he quickly gobbled up the sandwich. Then, he clapped off the bread crumbs on his hands and said, “We won’t be heading out today.”

“Are your finals over?” asked Ji Fanyin as she got into a pair of slippers.

She wasn’t too concerned with Bai Zhou’s bad mood. It would be impossible for someone like him not to get mad after yesterday’s incident. 

“Not yet.” Bai Zhou yawned as he began booting up two computers. “I’ve already done my revision. You don’t need to worry about me.”

It was ridiculous that a university student was living alone in such a huge apartment. It was also hard to comprehend why he needed to have two computers and a laptop on top of that. 

He’s a fiery-tempered thug when he goes out, and a fiery-tempered shut-in when he holes himself up at home. He probably squanders most of his time at home gaming. 

Ji Fanyin only had a thought in mind when she saw how smoothly Bai Zhou started up his two computers in preparation for idling his whole day away: The current generation of university students sure lives decadently. 

While Bai Zhou was adjusting his seat, his phone suddenly started vibrating a couple of times. It eventually culminated into a phone call. 

As his phone was placed right in front of Ji Fanyin, she subconsciously glanced at it and saw the caller’s name. It wasn’t a familiar name, but judging by the intimate nickname, it appeared to be one of his same-aged friends.

“Pass it over,” said Bai Zhou.

Ji Fanyin eyed the literal arm’s length distance between Bai Zhou and his phone, but she still patiently delivered it into his hand with a smile. 

Bai Zhou had a relaxed expression when he first picked it up, but seconds later, his face turned cold. “Send it to me.”

After saying those four words, he hung up the phone, rose from his seat, and walked out of the room.

“Feel free to watch whatever you want on the computer. I’ll be right back.”

Ji Fanyin leisurely checked out what was on the computer before entertaining herself with a simple round of spider solitaire.
