The Girl Who Parted, Calling with a Special Request

The photos given to Fang Xinran were just a small fraction of the whole.

Lin Yu kept the more sensitive content, the stuff that couldn't be exposed, safely stashed away for his own private collection.

He wasn't about to make a rookie mistake like getting his computer repaired.

Under his care, the photos were absolutely safe.

A short while later.

Tang Yimian hurried over through the crowd, carrying several small bags in her hands.

"Xinran, they're out of steamed buns. There's only tea eggs and millet porridge left."

"I'm sorry, I was afraid we'd run out of time, so I didn't go any further."

"Just eat a little for now, and see if they sell boxed lunches on the train, okay?"

"Ugh, I really should have bought something in advance before coming here. I didn't expect there to be only one breakfast place left open at the train station."

"Look at me, today I really..."

Fang Xinran quickly pressed her hands on Tang Yimian's shoulders, stopping her from continuing her lengthy apology.

If no one stopped her, who knew how long Tang Yimian would keep apologizing.

"It's alright, Sister Yimian."

"You've helped me so much all this time, you've almost spoiled me."

"I'm not a very sociable person, so I'm truly grateful to have had you here in Pingchuan."

Tang Yimian looked at Fang Xinran's reddening eyes and froze in place.

Her emotions welled up even faster than Fang Xinran's, and tears immediately began to fall.

Weren't Fang Xinran's words exactly what Tang Yimian wanted to say, too?

Because of their personalities, the two of them had tasted a lot of bitterness in the workplace.

Having each other's companionship was the only thing that made their time at work much easier to bear.

And today, all of that was coming to an end.

In their hearts, the two women felt much worse than Lin Yu did.

Tang Yimian's emotional outburst was much more intense than Fang Xinran's.

She threw her arms around Fang Xinran, buried her face in her embrace, and broke down crying.

Was Fang Xinran the only one who had been holding it in the whole way?

Tang Yimian had also been enduring the pain of parting.

Now, she completely lost control and stopped suppressing her tears.

This time, it was Lin Yu's turn to tactfully step aside.

Leaving the scene to the two girls who needed to communicate more.

The two girls crying in each other's arms at the moment of parting didn't need Lin Yu's comfort.

Instead, he took Fang Xinran's ID card and went to the ticket window to collect her ticket.

"Spinning a few rounds~ becoming our~ deep fingerprints..."

While he was lining up to get the ticket, his phone rang.

Lin Yu thought it might be Shen Jiuyi calling after waking up.

But when he looked at his phone.

It was actually the nurse sister, Xia Yiwei!

Lin Yu: "..."

After the incident in the underground parking garage yesterday, Lin Yu still felt uneasy.

Meddling in the Xia family's affairs had been a bit too impulsive.

Although he had anticipated that he would have deeper contact with the Xia family later on.

He didn't expect.

That this day would come so quickly.

It seemed that after the two Xia sisters went back yesterday afternoon, they must have discussed a lot of things with their old father.

Lin Yu could only hope that this phone call was just to chat, not to ask for help.

With an anxious heart, Lin Yu answered the call.

Before Lin Yu could speak, Xia Yiwei's winding, affected voice came through the phone:

"Hello, Little Master~"

"You finally answered the phone!"

"Could it be that you played too late last night and still haven't gotten out of bed?"

"Should I come to your room to play with you?"

Lin Yu: "!!!"

Xia Yiwei's opening words immediately scared a cold sweat out of Lin Yu.

Go to his room right now?

That would ruin everything!

Shen Jiuyi should still be in the room, and whether she was wearing clothes right now was a question.

If Xia Yiwei really saw her, it would be a massive crisis!

Lin Yu didn't dare to show too much nervousness, trying to speak in a calm tone:

"Are you at the door to my room? Unfortunately, I can't open the door for you this time."

"Senior Tang and I came to the train station. Senior Fang resigned and is heading south today."

"Her train is at twelve, so the two of us came together to see her off."

Lin Yu spoke quickly to prevent Xia Yiwei from knocking and going in.

Although Shen Jiuyi was very calm, who knew if her brain would cramp up and she'd mindlessly open the door.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then should I just go straight to the train station to find you?"

"Anyway, my current location isn't far from the train station."

Hearing these words.

Lin Yu secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

The fact that she wasn't at his bedroom door was already a huge blessing.

Otherwise, it really would be Lin Yu's turn to panic right now.

"Weiwei, if you have something to say, just say it over the phone."

"Senior Fang is Senior Tang's best friend in Pingchuan. She's leaving today, so just imagine how Senior Tang is feeling."

"If I were to leave her here alone and slip away, who knows where Senior Tang would run off to?"

"What if she goes out to get drunk? Wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Xia Yiwei responded over the phone, saying:

"Alright, alright, you're so thoughtful, okay?"

"It's not my first day knowing Yimian. How could she possibly go out and get drunk!"

What Xia Yiwei said wasn't wrong. The old Tang Yimian really wouldn't be the type to go out and get drunk.

But recently, she had shown signs of doing just that!

Last time, Lin Yu even had to pick her up in her bedroom.

So how could Lin Yu possibly feel at ease leaving Tang Yimian alone?

Moreover.

Whatever Xia Yiwei wanted to talk about didn't sound like a good thing.

If things went wrong.

It could bring a lot of trouble!

On the other end of the line, Xia Yiwei didn't continue to force Lin Yu to meet up.

Instead, she spoke in a tactful tone and voiced her request...
