When Su Rou heard the name Jiang Ling, she was a bit slow to react. Under Su Yuze's gradually cold gaze, Su Rou reached into her pocket. "Brother Ze, lend me your phone." She had left in a hurry and forgotten her own phone.
Su Yuze took out his phone and handed it to her. "Go ahead."
What was Jiang Ling's phone number again? After dialing two wrong numbers, Su Rou finally got through to Jiang Ling. "Hello? Who is this?"
"Is this Jiang Ling?" Su Rou asked.
"I'm Jiang Ling. You are..." This voice sounded a bit familiar. "Xiaorou?!"
He could recognize her just by her voice. "Yes, it's me."
When Su Yuze heard the intimate call of "Xiaorou" from the other end of the phone, his face unconsciously darkened. He poked Su Rou's back to show his dissatisfaction.
Receiving a call from Su Rou, Jiang Ling was obviously a bit surprised, but there was more surprise. "What's up? Do you need something from me?" This was probably the first time Su Rou had called him on her own initiative. "Is this your new number?"
"No... Don't worry about the number. I have something to tell you." Su Rou looked at Su Yuze who was leaning over to listen to the call. She gave a soft laugh. "Jiang Ling, I don't want to go abroad anymore."
"..." The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, seemingly trying to digest her words. "Xiaorou, didn't we agree? How can you change your mind at the last minute? You've already received the notice!" Jiang Ling couldn't understand. He had even thought that if she didn't like the school dormitory, he would rent an apartment with Su Rou outside! But he never expected that Su Rou would say she wasn't going!
"Xiaorou, are you in some trouble?" Jiang Ling asked with a frown. "If there's anything inconvenient, I can help you."
"No, I just don't want to go abroad. My family also doesn't agree with me going abroad, so I'm not going!" Su Rou said straightforwardly. "Sorry, I can't study with you."
Su Yuze took the phone and hung up without hesitation. "That's enough. Don't talk to him any more!" Just tell Jiang Ling that she wasn't going abroad to let him give up, but they still managed to chat.
But not long after the call ended, the phone rang again. Su Yuze looked at the phone screen, hung up directly, and then blocked the number. After doing all this, he looked at Su Rou. "Xiaorou, choose a good place these days. We'll go on a... date."
"Okay."
...
In the evening, after having dinner at home, Su Yuze walked into the study and made a call. "Xiao Yun."
"Boss Su..." Xiao Yun called him respectfully.
"Have you forgotten who your master is?" Su Yuze said indifferently.
Xiao Yun swallowed nervously. It was bad. Boss Su must have known everything! "I... I didn't mean to hide it from you, Boss. It's just that Rou Rou..."
"What about her?" When it came to the topic of Su Rou, Su Yuze couldn't help but frown. Did Xiao Yun mean that Su Rou had deliberately asked them to hide it?
This time, Xiao Yun didn't dare to hide anything and told him everything, including Su Rou's feelings for Su Yuze. "Boss Su, although Rou Rou's feelings are a bit special, but you..."
Su Yuze interrupted her. "So, you've known for a long time that Xiaorou likes me?" They had known for a long time but didn't tell him?
"Ah, this..." After all, Rou Rou's feelings were a bit special. If they told Boss Su, it would be embarrassing for both of them.
"Intensify your training for half a month."
"...Yes."
Xiao Yun hung up the phone, still a bit confused. Yu Fei looked at her. "What did Boss Su say?"
"Intensify our training for half a month." Xiao Yun said weakly.
Yu Fei's face fell. Half a month of intensive training would kill them! Xiao Yun lay down on the carpet. "Feifei, it's so strange. Why wasn't Boss Su surprised at all when he found out that Rou Rou likes him?" If it were her, she would feel embarrassed when hearing this news.
"Really?" Yu Fei also curiously touched her chin. "What are they up to?"
"Forget it. We'll ask Rou Rou later." It was useless for them to guess. They should first deal with this intensive training.
After Su Yuze hung up the phone, the door of the study was gently pushed open. "Brother Ze, who were you on the phone with?"
"Someone from the company." He would tell her about Xiao Yun and Yu Fei later.
"Okay. I've found the place we're going to." Su Rou took out her phone, flipped through it, and then showed it to Su Yuze. "Let's go here!" She pointed to the word "Thailand" on the phone. "Let's go see the ladyboys."
"..." Su Yuze was silent for a moment but still nodded in agreement. "Okay, but it's a bit chaotic there." There had been a lot of dark deals in Thailand in recent years, but at least they wouldn't target tourists, right?
"How chaotic is it?"
"Well... It's okay. Don't worry." Su Yuze put his arm around Su Rou's waist and led her out of the study.
Little Cutie wagged its tail and ran over to rub affectionately against Su Rou's calf, then jumped onto her lap. Because Little Cutie was too big, Su Rou pushed it away. "You're too heavy."
Su Yuze gave some instructions. The trip to Thailand would be in two days. It seemed that they would have to leave Little Cutie at Yufeng's house again. "Xiaorou, pack your things tomorrow. We'll leave the day after tomorrow."
"Okay."
Su Rou yawned and lay on Su Yuze's lap playing with her phone. But as soon as the phone was turned on, it kept vibrating. All were text messages from Jiang Ling. The phone showed sixty - six messages, all asking why she wasn't going abroad to study.
"Don't reply to him." Su Yuze took her phone away with a bad look on his face.
Su Rou stretched out her arm. "I won't reply. I want to play Flappy Bird."
"..." This sounded a bit inappropriate, didn't it? Su Yuze simply took out the phone card and then threw the phone back to her. "Now you can play."
Looking at the "No SIM card" sign on the phone, Su Rou looked up at Su Yuze speechlessly. "Brother Ze, are you jealous?" He even wouldn't let her reply to Jiang Ling's text messages.
Su Yuze slightly curled his lips. "Is that not allowed?"
Su Rou smiled. Well, it wasn't... not allowed!
When the clock pointed to eleven, Su Rou had fallen asleep while playing. "Xiaorou, sleep with me tonight."
"..."
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes."
Su Yuze gently placed Su Rou on his big bed, hugged her soft body, and closed his eyes.
...
"Really..." Su Rou was woken up by an unusual feeling in her stomach. She sat up and lifted the quilt. Sure enough, there was a small red stain on the bedsheet.
Su Yuze slightly opened his eyes. As Su Rou lifted the quilt, he also saw the small bloodstains on the hem of his bathrobe. "..." He let out a soft sigh. Anyway, it wasn't the first time.
