Chapter 103 – The Shy Weier (1/2)
“How do you participate? Are you going?” I immediately asked.
“AI! I do want to go, but they aren’t letting me go!” Guo Qing sighed.
“Not letting you go? Does attending this winter camp have some kind of requirements?” I asked weirdly.
“Yeah! The school organized this to encourage students to study hard, only the top ten students in each year can attend, and it’s completely free! Boss, you and Dasao can travel using public expenses!” Guo Qing said in envy.
I was wondering why I never heard about this in my previous life, I got the eight place if you counted up from the bottom in the year, this type of activities had nothing to do with me.
“Du… Du… Du!” In the early morning, I was awakened by the hurried rang of my phone. Having my phone turned on 24 hours is a habit left behind from my previous life as a CEO, no matter what time someone may call my phone back then, especially those fellows on the board, who’s country’s time was exactly opposite from here, thereby creating the situation where I would be fully energized whenever my phone rings.
“Hello, I’m Liu Lei…” I habitually picked up the phone and answered.
“En? What are you saying? Hubby, get up quickly! We said we would go to school together!” Zhao Yanyan said sweetly in the phone.
I only remembered then that today was the day of the school’s winter camp. I made a deal with Zhao Yanyan the previous day to meet her under my home at eight in the morning.
“Where are you?” I hurriedly crawled up from the bed, and started looking for my clothes.
“I’m dowsntairs from your home, I’m freezing here. Okay now, I’m going to hang up, my hand is cold. Hurry and come down!” Zhao Yanyan hung up.
I used the fastest possible sped to clean up myself in the bathroom and got dressed in less than ten minutes. I couldn’t help but feeling happy that I developed this habit in university in my previous life.
When I got downstairs, I saw that Zhao Yanyan was standing not far away, breathing into her hands, and after seeing me come up, she happily leaped onto me, and said while twitching her eyebrows, “Why were you so slow, look at how red my hands are from the cold, help me warm it up.” After saying that, she placed her hands into my coat.
“I was fast already, from the moment you hung up till I got down here, I used less than ten minutes,” I explained.
“Impossible, I counted, it was at least half an hour!” Zhao Yanyan pouted.
“Okay, okay half an hour then half an hour!” I couldn’t do anything when a girl was being illogical.
“That’s more like it. Hurry, or we won’t make it,” Zhao Yanyan took out her hands from my coat and into the pockets of her down jacket, then ran to the side to the road to stop a cab.
There were many taxis in Songjiang at this time yet, the models were all very old Xiali or Lada, Jetta and Santana were not used as taxis yet. Although there were no starting price or meters at the time yet, and it cost five kuai no matter where you went in the city, but you couldn’t help but had to admit that the taxi drivers did earn quite a bit of money in 1995.
“To Fourth High!” We finally stopped a taxi that slowly approached, so thus I said to the driver after getting on.
“Little bro, you should change a car, they’re repairing the road around Fourth High, the road’s a rather difficult one. Taking you there once would let me take two customers already,” the driver said like he was troubled.
