The front desk man was polite, smiled and said: "Sorry, you can't directly see our Jin Tun without an appointment."
I called Jin Zicheng again, asking him to speak a few words with me before allowing him to pass.
Half an hour later, Jin Zicheng finally stood up and said to me: "Let's go, it's already noon. Let's go eat."
Jin Zicheng did not go too far, he only found a restaurant downstairs and waited for all the dishes to arrive before asking: "What's the matter?"
He was so straightforward and unambiguous, yet I hesitated and shrank back. After hesitating for a long while, I finally voiced out my request. Do you still remember that Xia Xiaoran? I think she's a bit off. Just give it to her. Uh... I set up a trap and need your cooperation. "
"My cooperation?" Jin Zicheng took a sip of tea. Was there a need to go through so much trouble? Can't you just go and check on her? "
As expected, Jin Zicheng was not angry, this made me heave a huge sigh of relief, as long as he was not angry, there was still room for discussion.
"We're not sure what she wants either. So why don't you cooperate for a bit? "
"What are the benefits?" Jin Zicheng looked at me playfully.
"You even want more benefits?" I sneered. " What's wrong with her right now is with you. If there's really something wrong with her, it's not me. "
"So it's like that." Jin Zicheng put down the teacup: "Then it's fine, I'm not afraid of being schemed against, so stop bothering me."
I could tell that Jin Zicheng was determined to obtain some benefits, so I could only helplessly say, "Oh sure, what benefits do you need?"
"I want..." He rested his chin on his hand and said, "I want you to stay with me tonight."
I suddenly stood up. "Don't go too far!"
"I didn't say how you would accompany me." Jin Zicheng looked at me calmly. "Where are you thinking?"
I finally saw that Jin Zicheng was just teasing me. In my heart, I secretly ridiculed his childishness. While ignoring his teasing, I directly said, "Alright, alright."
"Then, this Saturday, go to the teahouse in the north of the city and stay there for one day."
That night, Jin Zicheng brought me to look around. Rather than saying that this is his reward, I felt that he was giving me a reward. My exhausted nerves had also recovered from the night's relaxation.
Soon, it was Saturday. Xia Xiaoran told me that she wanted to go out for a day and told me to find an excuse to bring her out in front of the Sister Yun. I pretended not to know, and did as she said and brought her out.
After coming out, I lied about going to work, but I had already taken a leave of absence to follow her. Sure enough, she went to the teahouse.
I found a dead end that she couldn't see and sat down. I watched as Xia Xiaoran walked towards Jin Zicheng and pretended to be very surprised as I greeted him. Then, I sat down.
Being too far away, I couldn't hear what they were saying. I could only see that Xia Xiaoran had a smile on her face the entire time as she spoke, while Jin Zicheng had a calm expression the entire time, not responding at all.
However, Jin Zicheng's patience was limited, after sitting for a while he displayed an impatient look, and then left.
After Jin Zicheng left, he did not stay for long, and also left.
