Chapitre 16: Hmmph! Marriage Indeed
They stood there quietly for a while, it was kind of awkward because no one has said a word.
Ku Shuchang decided to break the silence. "So are you heading to your dormitory now or we could take a stroll to the café."
Xiao Li sighed and turned to face him. "That would be nice but I am really feeling sleepy and also tired from the test so am sorry."
Ku Shuchang face fell. "Okay, you need to rest anyways."
Xiao Li saw how disappointed he looked and wanted to cheer him up. "Okay how about we go there tomorrow after class. It's my treat."
Xiao Li immediately regretted what she said.
How would she pay for the orders if she was broke.
Oh no, she wish she could take it back.
Ku Shuchang smiled immediately he heard that. "Okay we'll meet there tomorrow but there's no way I'll let a lady pay the bills on our first day eating together."
Xiao Li was really relieved but resisted the urge to show it. "Oh okay, if you say so."
"It will be your treat the next time we'll eat together."
Xiao Li smiled. "Okay I'll get going now, see you tomorrow.
*********************
It was already night time and Cheng Hua had fallen asleep early.
Xiao Li looked at Cheng Hua helplessly.
She was bored and couldn't sleep, Cheng Hua slept early not like she did anything stressful.
Such a lazy girl.
She slept for about two hours when she got to her room after the test.
And now she wasn't feeling sleepy at all.
She looked at her phone and sighed then threw it on the bed. "That so called husband of mine couldn't even call."
She was surprised when she said that or even had a thought of it.
Why would he call her and why will she care.
Not like they got married out of love, it was a contract marriage so it doesn't matter If they talked once in a month.
She'd probably be happy.
She couldn't believe she had gotten married just like that, she had high hopes of dating a man for maybe a year and also the joy of him kneeling in front of her, asking for her to marry him.
Life never works out the way one imagined.
Hmmph! marriage indeed.
Just as she was deep in thoughts, her phone rang, she lazily picked it up and almost jumped up when she saw the caller's ID.
It was Du Lixin.
But why was she a little happy and surprised...
Well she never expected him to call her and also who wouldn't be happy when an outstanding guy like Du Lixin called her.
But even if he was outstanding, he was a jerk for taking advantage of her situation and married her.
She scoffed and finally answered it after a few rings. "Hello."
Du Lixin's voice came up almost immediately. "What took you so long to pick it up?"
Too long?, it didn't even last 10 seconds.
How domineering.
Xiao Li forced a smile and shifted her posture, she sat down on the bed and placed the phone on her ear. "I was almost asleep when you called so it took a while to find my phone with sleepy eyes."
She was definitely lying.
The man's deep voice suddenly softened. "I didn't know you were almost asleep, I wouldn't have called."
Xiao Li sighed and bit her finger nails. "It's alright, why did you call."
"I called to ask how the test went, was it difficult?, I hope you didn't stress yourself too much."
