I took the empty hotel elevator to the 25th floor, followed the signs to room 2506, entered the room, inserted my card, and all the lights turned on.
The room was fairly spacious and clean, with a double bed and a metallic, copper-silver decor.
After putting down her handbag and the ointment, Chi Yining glanced at her watch; it was already 6 PM.
He only realized that Brother Yan had sent him a message when he opened his phone. He hadn't even had a chance to talk to Brother Yan Brother Yan.
Hiding in his snail shell, he felt incredibly cowardly. If he could, he would rather be mute, since he would never be able to say what he wanted to say anyway.
But now that I think about it, will Brother Yan be angry again because of my departure? Chi Yining took a deep breath, opened her phone with a heavy heart, and sure enough, she saw a message from Brother Yan.
Brother Yan: Why did you go back without saying a word?
The moment I saw Brother Yan's message, my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down.
During lunch, he was afraid that talking to Brother Yan would bring back the tears he had managed to hold back.
Chi Yining walked to the sofa, sat down, leaned back, and looked at Yan Guiyun's profile picture of blue sky and white clouds. She clicked on it to see what Brother Yan had posted on his WeChat Moments.
Upon clicking, it turned out that the Moments posts were only visible for three days. Having already anticipated this Chi Yining wasn't disappointed at not seeing any useful content.
Looking up, there's no chat history between Brother Yan and him, only two photos I sent him this morning.
Brother Yan is so photogenic; he looks handsome from any angle.
But how should he reply to Brother Yan? Holding his phone in both hands, Chi Yining's fingers hovered above the 9 key, watching the vertical line jump around in the input box...
Fine, let's just tell the truth. Why did he hesitate for so long?
After editing the message, I sent it.
Chi Yining: I have work tomorrow, and my agent booked the plane tickets too early. Sorry, Brother Yan.
To increase credibility, he took a screenshot of his conversation with Ma Ling and sent it to Yan Guiyun.
Even though I knew that Brother Yan was angry today because he didn't take care of his hands, I still felt incredibly wronged, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why.
Annoyed by a small matter, Chi Yining stopped waiting for Brother Yan's reply and switched to her phone. She ordered two milk teas and a cake for the girl downstairs through an online food delivery app. The address she filled in was the hotel reception desk, and the recipient's employee number ended in 6663.
Note: Thank you for the ointment.
My WeChat balance is now over 9,000 yuan, almost 10,000 yuan, so I'll stop ordering takeout and just go out to get food.
After glancing at the map of the surrounding commercial street, which he had already memorized Chi Yining put his phone back in his pocket, put his mask and hat back on, took out his room key, and went out.
Stepping out of the hotel building, Chi Yining stood in front of the gate, feeling the scorching air. Looking up at the sky, she thought about how she had never been alone in this world before. In Capital at around 6 pm in summer, the sky was still very blue and bright, and it had not yet darkened.
Chi Yining glanced at the food recommendations on the food delivery app again and decided to go to the highly-rated sushi restaurant.
It's 1.8km away from that store, so taking a taxi isn't a good idea. I guess I'll just walk.
So Chi Yining looked at the map again and found a very hidden alley in the back street. Going there would probably save a lot of time. Chi Yining put away his phone and set off.
Passing through these incredibly realistic streets, watching the people come and go, he felt that he was much braver and stronger than when Brother Yan was around! Why was that?
