Chapter 313: [313] Senior brother invited to his house Chapter 313: [313] Senior brother invited to his house Cao Yong, who was driving, couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile when he knew whom she was talking to, picturing in his mind the scenario of Tan Kelin lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot. The thought amused him greatly.
After putting down the phone, Xie Wanying felt as if she could hear the laughter of Senior Cao beside her and thought to herself, “Senior Cao really knows how to laugh; he can find a reason to smile at any ti.”
Optimistic people always seem to bring a ray of sunshine into others’ lives.
Her eyes, without realizing it, were searching for the two dimples that bead with sunlight when he laughed. Suddenly, when his handso face turned to look at her, she quickly shifted her gaze away, her heart pounding.
Seeing her turn her face away, Cao Yong thoughtfully said, “Give a call when you’re coming back. I’ll give you a lift back to school if it’s on my way.”
“Would that be convenient for you?” Xie Wanying asked softly.
“It’s convenient; I’m off all day today.” Originally, he had wanted to invite his junior sister to watch a movie. Cao Yong thought.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly quieted down again.
Cao Yong’s eyes swept around for so topic of conversation and noticed that her gaze had fallen on the cassette tapes in his car: Did his junior sister like listening to music as much as he did?
“What kind of music do you like? I’ll play so for you.”
“I like listening to light music,” she said.
“Instruntal? I like it quite a bit too. How about this; I’ll find so tapes for you later. You can co over to my place next ti, I also have German books in my study, you can borrow and read them whenever you want,” Cao Yong said.
Was Senior Cao inviting her to his ho? Xie Wanying thought about how the senior sister had wanted to visit Senior Cao’s ho to chat about graduation and job hunting.
“Is that okay?” she asked softly.
“Of course, it’s okay,” he replied.
Xie Wanying looked up and noticed the way Senior Cao blinked when he said it, as if he didn’t quite understand why she was asking if it was okay. This puzzled her a bit. After all, Senior Brother Huang had ntioned that Senior Cao didn’t really like having guests over at his house.
“Did soone tell you sothing?” Cao Yong asked, catching the strange expression on her face.
“No,” Xie Wanying shook her head, not wanting to drag Senior Brother Huang into this.
The car pulled up to the entrance of Kanghui Community. Xie Wanying got out, opening her umbrella, and thanked Senior Cao repeatedly.
He watched her enter one of the residential buildings before he drove away with peace of mind.
Upon reaching Teacher Zhuang’s ho, Xie Wanying rang the doorbell.
Ding-dong, ding-dong. A voice from inside said, “Who is it? Could you help open the door?”
Footsteps approached the door.
As the door opened, a tall young man appeared, wearing gold-rimd glasses.
Surprise showed in Xie Wanying’s eyes.
“Don’t you recognize , Yingying?” Zhao Wenzong smiled at her.
She did have so difficulty recognizing him. The Zhao Wenzong from before dressed as simply as she did, not nearly as fashionable as he was now.
In the past, he often wore black-frad glasses, which Zhang Wei teased him about, calling him ‘panda eyes.’ Not anymore; now he sported stylishly small gold-rimd glasses, akin to an exquisite golden snub-nosed monkey. His shirt had transford from a simple school-issue white to a trendy, silvery grey-white with stripes, and in the blink of an eye, he seed to have shifted from a high school boy to a mature young man.
Unknowingly, more than three, almost four years had flown by.
Since her dical studies were lengthy, she had a slower sense of ti. Her fellow students who pursued four-year degrees had graduated and started working already.
She could tell from the way Zhao Wenzong’s gaze swept over her that he was also surprised, thinking she had beco even more beautiful.
“Co in, what are you standing at the door for?” Teacher Zhuang called out.
Two high school friends entered one after the other.
