Chapter 354: Esports God, Don’t Shut Yourself Off 19
The cell phone rang, and it was Ji Xingyu calling.
She answered,
"Hello?"
On the other end of the phone,
"Teacher, where are you!!"
The tone was urgent.
Immediately, Su Yan’s mind flashed with Ji Yan’s image.
The grip on her phone tightened slightly,
"I’m at Jinding Square."
"Okay, teacher, don’t move. I’m coming to pick you up."
With that, the call was disconnected.
Lin Yiren saw Su Yan stop walking, very empathetic
"Sister Su Yan, do you have other matters to attend to?"
Su Yan nodded.
Then Lin Yiren said,
"I can go back on my own, Sister Su Yan, I’ll leave first."
"Wait"
Su Yan called out.
Lin Yiren thought Su Yan had something else, so she stopped and looked at her.
After a moment, Su Yan still said,
"You treated me to lunch today, I think I should give you something in return."
Lin Yiren suddenly realized, no wonder Su Yan had been asking her if she liked it this afternoon.
She initially thought that Su Yan was just being polite.
Following that, Lin Yiren shook her head,
"No need to."
Su Yan earnestly,
"I don’t like being indebted to someone."
"But you saved my mother and me, that’s something I can never repay no matter what I do."
Lin Yiren’s tone was also very sincere.
As they were talking here, a minivan had already stopped in front of them.
Lin Yiren glanced at the minivan, then said to Su Yan,
"Sister Su Yan, it seems your ride is here, I’m going ahead."
At this moment, the car door opened.
Ji Xingyu spoke,
"Come along, I’ll give you a ride back."
Lin Yiren shook her head,
"No need."
Listening to Lin Yiren refuse again, Su Yan’s brow furrowed.
She reached out, grabbed Lin Yiren’s wrist, and turned to walk towards the car.
While walking, she said,
"Didn’t you say I saved you and that it’s a big favor? Then you should listen to me and take the car."
In the end, Lin Yiren staggeringly got pulled into the car.
The three of them sat in the car, and for some reason, the initially urgent Ji Xingyu also fell silent.
The atmosphere in the car was unusually quiet and eerie.
Xiao Hua couldn’t help but speak out,
"Eh? What’s up with Lin Yiren?"
"What?"
"Why isn’t she surprised at all? Didn’t Ji Xingyu say it was urgent? Isn’t her reaction too calm?"
Su Yan looked at Lin Yiren sitting beside her, then at Ji Xingyu across from her.
The two of them had been silent since they got in the car.
Su Yan blinked, then voiced out,
"Do you two know each other?"
Both remained silent, but eventually, it was Lin Yiren who said,
"We are classmates."
Su Yan nodded in understanding,
"Oh"
Maybe it was the silence, the eeriness.
To break the deadlock, Ji Xingyu took out two bottles of water, handing them to the two opposite him.
"Have some water."
Su Yan took it, unscrewed the cap,
"Thank you"
From Xiao Hua’s long-term guidance, she was already adept at simple manners and communications.
But she looked towards her side.
Lin Yiren was silently drinking water.
Su Yan puzzled,
"Why do you refuse when I buy you something, but accept it when he does? Don’t you call me ’Sister’?"
In Su Yan’s logic, one was a classmate, the other was a sister who saved her life, surely the latter should be closer right?
Why did she feel like Lin Yiren was more accepting of Ji Xingyu?
Lin Yiren’s face suddenly turned red, and she was flustered,
"I, no, just, ..."
Su Yan saw her so nervous and said,
"I’m just a bit puzzled, not questioning you. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to."
