บท 53: How Rude

Gu Nianzhi stared at her phone; she wondered what Zhao Liangze was doing at her apartment. At this very moment, she heard a chime from Mei Xiawen's phone, which he had left on the table. It was a text message.

Gu Nianzhi automatically glanced at the phone, and saw the contents of the message without meaning to.

It was from Ai Weinan.

[Weinan]: "It's that time of the month for me again. I feel so uncomfortable… I miss the ginger tea you used to make for me, all those years ago…"

Gu Nianzhi's mind reeled upon seeing this. Her mouth twitched as she nudged Mei Xiawen's phone away from her.

Before long, Mei Xiawen appeared with a big dinner tray. He set it down before Gu Nianzhi, and moved the two plates of food that had been on the tray onto the table. 

Gu Nianzhi silently picked up her pair of disposable chopsticks, and began to eat.

Mei Xiawen sat beside her. He watched Gu Nianzhi's profile as he ate, a smile on his face.
