After changing into the slippers she had brought, Jian Ai leaned against the bed frame and took out her phone. She called Wang Yunmei and told her she had safely arrived at a hotel in the capital.
She didn’t forget to tell Si Yuehan as well so that he wouldn’t worry.
Then, Jian Ai found the speech and lay on the bed to read it. Not long after, she fell asleep.
When she woke up again, a knock on the door woke Jian Ai up.
She looked at the time. It was already noon.
She got up and walked to the door to open it. She thought Teacher Liu called her for lunch, but when she opened the door, Jian Yichen was standing outside.
Jian Yichen changed into a pair of dark blue cotton slacks and a pair of black sneakers. He also wore a beige wool sweater with a denim jacket.
Jian Ai’s sleeping state had not completely dissipated. Jian Yichen was slightly stunned. “You were sleeping?”
“Yes, I accidentally fell asleep.” Jian Ai shook her stiff neck and looked at both sides of the door. “Are we going for lunch? Where’s Teacher Liu?”
When Jian Yichen heard this, he said, “I just went to ask Teacher Liu. She said that we would have lunch in the hotel’s restaurant, so I applied for leave from her.”
The meaning behind his words was obvious. Jian Yichen did not want to eat in this hotel. He applied for leave and wanted to go out to eat.
Jian Ai nodded in understanding. After all, with his family environment, he had no choice but to stay in this hotel. He naturally couldn’t make do with food.
However, he came to knock on her door because…
“You want me to go along?” Jian Ai asked with a smile.
Jian Yichen nodded without hesitation. “I’ve already talked to Teacher Liu. She said that we’ll go together.”
Jian Ai blinked. This little brother didn’t even ask if she wanted to go and just helped her arrange it?
Without waiting for Jian Ai to speak, Jian Yichen said, “Thank you for lending me your PSP. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows and nodded. Since he had invited her for a good reason, she naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Moreover, she really liked Jian Yichen, even if he was Jian Yiyi’s brother.
“Alright, wait for me. I’ll be right there.”
Jian Ai turned around and closed the door.
However, the ‘right there’ girls mentioned was…
Forty minutes later, just as Jian Yichen was about to be petrified at the door, Jian Ai finally changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
“I’ve been waiting for a long time,” Jian Yichen looked at Jian Ai aggrievedly.
Jian Ai smiled in embarrassment. “I took a shower. Sorry.”
Jian Yichen shook his head gently. At least compared to his biological sister, Jian Yiyi, Jian Ai was considered fast.
The two of them left the hotel and walked for a while before reaching the main road.
“What do you want to eat?” Jian Yichen stood still and asked Jian Ai.
Jian Ai thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know. Anything is fine. I’ll listen to you.”
When Jian Yichen heard this, he said seriously, “I’m treating you to a meal. Of course, we have to eat what you like. You can choose. Anything is fine.”
Jian Ai looked at Jian Yichen’s serious expression and couldn’t refuse anymore. She thought for a moment and her eyes lit up.
“Let’s go and eat roast duck!” Jian Ai’s eyes lit up when she said this.
Jian Yichen was stunned. “Roast duck?”
Moreover, looking at Jian Ai’s expression, she seemed to like roast duck.
Jian Ai seemed to have made up her mind and nodded hard. “I know one that’s especially delicious.”
