Chapter 386: The Wife Is Really Angry
In Chen Fan's plan, since he was already confined to the isolation dormitory, he might as well stand at attention and take his punishment obediently.
As for Su Ruochu, he would tell her a well-intentioned lie for now, and then tell her the truth after getting through these two weeks.
However, that afternoon, while Chen Fan was lying on the bed bored and lost in thought, his phone rang.
Seeing it was Su Ruochu calling, Chen Fan quickly adjusted his mood, then took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, dear, missing me already?"
"You're not in the apartment?"
"Ah... well, I'm not in the apartment right now."
"Then where are you now?"
Chen Fan coughed dryly, "Well... do you need me for something?"
Su Ruochu: "I wanted you to accompany me to the library."
"Um..." Chen Fan said with slight difficulty, "That... might not be very convenient. I'm outside the school."
"You went outside the school? How did you get out?"
"Honey, listen to me, I didn't intentionally leave campus. There really was something important I had to deal with, I had no choice but to come out..."
"Then when will you be back?"
"Ahem, well..."
Chen Fan explained with slight embarrassment, "Actually... something came up with the club, I'm afraid I won't be able to return for a couple of days."
"How about this, I'll call you when I can get back to school, okay?"
Su Ruochu continued to ask, "So when do you think you can come back?"
Chen Fan pretended to think.
"It'll probably be at least 10 days or so."
"How many days exactly?"
"About half a month, around 15 days."
Chen Fan had planned it well. After half a month when he was released from isolation, he would tell Su Ruochu the truth. Even if she got angry then, it would be better than her constantly worrying about him.
However, after Chen Fan finished speaking cheerfully, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
After quite a while, Su Ruochu's voice came through.
"Liar!"
"Chen Fan, you're just a big liar!"
"Huh?" Chen Fan was stunned, completely confused.
"Wife, what did you say? What liar?"
"I'm talking about you. Chen Fan... you're just a big liar!"
"I'm never going to talk to you again."
With that, Su Ruochu hung up the phone.
Chen Fan held the phone, completely bewildered.
What's going on?
Did he say something wrong?
How did he offend her?
Just as he was puzzling over this, there was a knock at the dormitory door.
Chen Fan got up from the bed and went to open the door.
Outside stood the dorm supervisor auntie, wearing protective clothing and a mask.
She took two steps back cautiously, raising her hand to indicate Chen Fan not to step out of the doorway.
Seeing how nervous the dorm supervisor looked, even coughing occasionally, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.
Which one of us is really in isolation? Looking at your condition, you seem more like the carrier than me.
The auntie reached behind her back and pulled out a suitcase.
"A young lady downstairs just brought this for you."
"Ah?" Chen Fan was surprised and looked down at the suitcase.
"Auntie, do you know who it was?"
"I don't know, I didn't ask and she didn't say. She just mentioned your name and said to give this to you."
The auntie didn't want to stay long, eager to leave immediately.
"Remember, from the moment you were registered, you officially started isolation. During this period, you are not allowed to leave this dormitory room."
"If you need anything, you can call. I will make a record."
"Someone will bring you three meals a day."
"Don't say I didn't warn you, if you leave the room during isolation or mingle with others in isolation, you'll lose credit points."
Having said that, the auntie didn't wait for Chen Fan to respond and hurriedly went downstairs.
Chen Fan didn't care about what she had just said, his attention was completely focused on the suitcase at the door.
This suitcase was all too familiar to him.
It was Su Ruochu's suitcase. He had even helped carry it when they went home for the New Year.
Ruochu came.
Chen Fan felt both excited and surprised.
She knew he was in isolation?
No, that's not right.
How did she know he was in isolation?
Chen Fan dragged the suitcase into the room and closed the door.
He pulled the suitcase to the bedside, laid it down and unzipped it.
Inside, it was packed full of things.
Besides various daily toiletries, Su Ruochu had thoughtfully prepared change of clothes, towels, socks, tissues, water cups for Chen Fan... and all kinds of snacks to pass the time.
Among these things was a transparent storage bag, which Chen Fan curiously opened.
Inside was a universal charger and two phone batteries.
Moreover, what surprised Chen Fan the most was that there were three packs of cigarettes of the brand he usually smoked.
Chen Fan stared at this scene, feeling deeply moved.
He found a note in the bag, written in Su Ruochu's familiar, graceful handwriting.
"If you get bored, you can read some books. You can smoke, but in moderation."
"If you need anything else, let me know. Take good care of yourself."
Seeing this note, Chen Fan's eyes reddened, feeling like the softest part of his heart had been struck.
He quickly took out his phone, wanting to call Su Ruochu right away.
He just wanted to hear Su Ruochu's voice now.
The call went through, but after ringing for a long time, no one answered.
Chen Fan wasn't giving up, he called again. Still no answer.
He called once more.
This time, the other side hung up directly.
Now Chen Fan understood.
Ruochu was angry. She was giving him the cold shoulder.
Why was she angry? Of course, it was because he hadn't told the truth earlier.
Or perhaps Su Ruochu's call earlier was giving him a chance to explain, but he ended up messing things up.
Chen Fan had no choice but to quickly send a text message.
"Are you angry?"
"I didn't mean to lie, I was just afraid you'd worry and be anxious if you knew."
"Wife, I was wrong."
This time, after quite a while, a message finally came back.
Chen Fan quickly picked up his phone to check.
"See if you need anything else, tell me, and I'll prepare it for you tomorrow."
Chen Fan replied: "It's enough, I don't need anything else. Everything you prepared is very complete."
"Wife, you're not angry, are you?"
But Su Ruochu ignored this and replied: "Since you're in isolation, just stay in there properly. Follow the rules, don't run around."
Seeing this message, Chen Fan understood that she was still angry with him.
"I got it, I'll do as you say."
"Wife, please don't be angry. I really didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just afraid you'd worry."
"All the students here are those who came back from outside. I was afraid if you knew, you'd come rushing over without caring about anything else. If you got infected, I would really blame myself to death."
Originally, he thought he could use his skill at joking around to cheer Su Ruochu up.
But after Chen Fan sent several messages in a row, there was no response from the other side.
In the end, Su Ruochu didn't reply to his messages anymore.
Chen Fan showed a helpless, bitter smile.
"I'm in trouble. It seems my wife is really angry."
