18 Chapter 18 (2/2)
Half way through the meal, Su Le lifted her head and looked at Wei Chu. She discovered that the other party was now smiling gently towards her. Su Le's hand trembled which caused a spare rib to fall onto her clothes before it rolled until it reached the floor. She coughed dryly and placed her chopsticks down, ”I'm going to the bathroom.”
Wei Chu took out a handkerchief from his pocket and passed it to Su Le, ”Be careful, the floor there is slippery.”
Su Le took the handkerchief that was as white as snow. She covered her face and rushed to the bathroom. It was only after she looked at the mirror did she discover that her face was red. She lowered her head and looked at the oil stain on her clothes while feeling bitter, ”A calamity, ah, a calamity.” Only after she hit her cheeks, did her racing heart gradually calm down.

Wei Chu glanced towards the direction of the bathroom. Suddenly, the mobile on the table persistently rang. Su Le hadn't left the washroom yet. Wei Chu hesitated for a moment, but he was worried that the call may be from Su Le's work so he flipped open the phone. The voice that came through the phone was very familiar.
”Su Le, I heard you moved. Where are you living now?”
The smile on Wei Chu's face diminished a little.
”You just started working and won't have much money. How about moving back? Let's just forget about what happened in the past. I know previously it's…”
”Sorry, but Su Le's in the bathroom,” Wei Chu interrupted the other party's repentance and said with an extremely gentle tone, ”Su Le is currently doing very well so there's no need for you to worry. If there is anything else, you can call back in ten minutes.”
”Wei Chu?” Zhuang Wei's voice held some resentment.
Wei Chu's lips lifted, ”Yup.”
The phone became silent for a while before Zhuang Wei rigidly said a ”Good bye” and hung up the phone.
Wei Chu flipped the phone close and smile slightly while speaking to himself, ”This junior's temper really isn't good.”

Ten minutes later, Su Le returned to her seat while wearing a calm smile. All the dishes had arrived on the table. Feeling somewhat apologetic, she said, ”Senior Wei, I'll return your handkerchief soon.” After she spoke, she scolded herself and thought that why does this seem like a scene from an idol drama?
Wei Chu who had originally planned to say that there was no need to return it changed his mind, ”No problem, you can return it when you have time. It's just a handkerchief after all.”
Su Le bit on her chopstick and felt a little out of balance. That handkerchief is made from pure silk. Is Senior Wei provoking us commoners?
”Right. Just then a Junior schoolmate, surnamed Zhuang, called you. I picked up the call for you since it rang for quite a while. I told him to call back in ten minutes,” Wei Chu indifferent said while putting some crispy fish into his bowl.
Su Le frowned, ”What did he say this time?”
When Wei Chu heard the phase 'this time', his chopsticks paused slightly, as he looked at Su Le with a smile, ”I'm also not very clear. He only said two sentences. It seems like he's worried that you have nowhere to live and that you could stay at his place.”
Su Le expression changed multiple of times and it was after a while did she look at Weu Chu, ”Do I look like that I'm in dire straits?”
Wei Chu instantly replied, ”Of course not. You look very radiant.”
Su Le was satisfied, ”He really think that I can not live after leaving him, what the …” Realising that she shouldn't carry on the sentence in front of Wei Chu, she sneered then snapped the ribs in half in her mouth.
Wei Chu stared at Su Le's white teeth and felt the hair on his body jump.
Ten minutes later, Zhuang Wei didn't call back. Wei Chu was drinking some soup and tilted his head to look at the sunlight out from the windows. He smiled till his eyes became crescent shaped.
