Chapter 1252: Smoke Screen

“I can’t let you guys wait so long.”

“We won’t wait!”

Yaen Chi racked his brains, usually very glib, but couldn’t string together a single sentence at crucial moments.

He glanced at Nan Jiaojiao, suddenly inspired, “Just in time for Jiaojiao and I to go fetch Brother Yan and come back for you, all in perfect timing with your finish at work.”

“Isn’t this inappropriate, Brother Yan is injured, how can he be accommodating me?”

“He’s much better!”

Yaen Chi tapped his fingers quickly on the window ledge, taking a deep breath, “He can’t stay at home, likes to wander around, use this time to find something delicious near the university, and we’ll head straight there once we pick you up.”

Ye Wanting wasn’t sure if this was right, she couldn’t really oppose Yaen Chi, so she asked Nan Jiaojiao, “Jiaojiao?”

“Ah?”

Nan Jiaojiao had finished her milk tea, was aiming the straw at the remaining pearls at the bottom, just sucked one up, opened her mouth, and it slipped back down.

“Brother will treat you to milk tea for three months.” Yaen Chi covered his mouth with his hand, speaking quietly.

Nan Jiaojiao looked straight ahead, asked Ye Wanting, “What did you just say?

I didn’t hear clearly.”

“I was wondering, is Brother Yan okay to come out, or…”

Yaen Chi got anxious, “Half a year!”

“Deal!”

Nan Jiaojiao pretended to be calm, how considerate she was to know when to stop.

Ye Wanting’s little hesitation dispersed, happily saying, “Okay then, I’ll get ready to finish work and wait here for you.”

Yaen Chi raised his eyebrows, “Go inside.”

Ye Wanting jogged off, then ran back, too quickly to stop in time, her forward momentum brought her right to Yaen Chi.

She held onto the window ledge.

Yaen Chi quietly withdrew his hand resting there.

“Oh, thank you, Brother Chi, for the pastries.”

Yaen Chi was momentarily caught off guard, “Me?”

He slowly glanced at Nan Jiaojiao.

“I’ve only heard about Lan Xiang Square’s pastries, once a roommate brought back a box, shared it with everyone, tasted amazing, I’ll bring some back for them to try later, there’s so many, I can’t finish them alone, do you mind if I share them with everyone?”

As she said, a few boxes of pastries would otherwise seem stingy.

“Sure, if you like them, I’ll have Lan Xiang Square deliver them to you daily.”

“No, don’t, they’re expensive!”

“Alright then!” Ye Wanting slapped the window ledge, straightened up, then patted Nan Jiaojiao, “I’m going inside.”

Nan Jiaojiao wanted to say goodbye to her, but in a burst of enthusiasm, stretched out a hand only to pass Ye Wanting the empty milk tea cup.

Ye Wanting paused, and laughed, “You!”

She ran off with the cup.

Yaen Chi stared at her, and Nan Jiaojiao quickly explained, “It wasn’t me, I didn’t give you away, she figured it out herself.”

None of that mattered now.

Yaen Chi was in an excellent mood, even being repeatedly embarrassed felt delightful, “Get in the car, let’s go pick up Brother Yan.”

Nan Jiaojiao intended to go around to the front passenger seat, but thinking again, couldn’t be bothered, just opened the backseat door near her.

When the car arrived outside the residential area, Nan Jiaojiao and Yaen Chi went up together to fetch him.

Fearing Bo Yanching wouldn’t agree, Yaen Chi sent several text messages, Bo Yanching responded coldly with two words: “Dream on.”

Two seconds later, he sent another: “Who do you think you are that I would give up my alone time with my Jiaojiao to be your smokescreen or have dinner with you?”
