Chapter 2372: Chapter 176: Ye Zhan Invites Her to a Video Call
G City.
Momo was lying on the bed after taking a shower in the evening when she opened Ye Zhan’s friend request.
She didn’t accept it.
She glanced at it and exited the interface.
Yesterday, when he drove at full speed, she barely managed to hold back from vomiting in his car, listening to the sound of bullets hitting the glass, even feeling a sense of death; it was truly awful.
She’s not very brave.
No one is unafraid of death.
Momo was just hiding some of her fears.
But the family and social circle she grew up in destined her not to be an ignorant girl.
The possibility Ye Zhan mentioned is not impossible.
She let her thoughts wander for a while, then returned to the previous interface and accepted his friend request.
Momo tossed her phone aside, planning to go downstairs to make a fruit salad.
Just as she lifted the covers to get out of bed, her phone chimed with a message alert.
She turned to look and saw it was a WeChat message from Ye Zhan.
Without checking the content, just seeing Ye Zhan’s name made Momo feel a bit annoyed.
She quickly left the bedroom and went downstairs to make a fruit salad.
Her parents had already gone back to their room when she went upstairs earlier.
Momo made a bowl of fruit salad, and finding it dull to eat in the living room alone, she took it back to her bedroom.
Seeing several messages on her phone.
“Momo, this weekend we’re going to the countryside to eat strawberries, are you ing?”
It was a message from Gu Zhitong.
Momo raised her eyebrows lightly and replied with a voice message, “Who’s all going?”
“Qingling, you, me, should I ask Auntie and the others?”
“Don’t ask, just the three of us, if they go, we’ll just be the third wheels. But isn’t there supposed to be snow in the ing days?”
Gu Zhitong pletely forgot about this.
She just suddenly wanted to eat strawberries, so she messaged her.
With snow in the ing days, eating strawberries is out of the question.
After some discussion, the three decided to watch movies at home, as there were two newly released movies they hadn’t found time to see yet.
After chatting, Momo opened the message Ye Zhan sent her.
“Jinchen said I shouldn’t have told you about Poison Eagle, afraid it’d scare you, Momo, are you scared?”
When her eyes saw the word “Momo”.
Momo’s heart involuntarily trembled.
She wasn’t sure if Ye Zhan had made a typo.
Typing Momo as Momo.
Suddenly, she hated him for this.
Clearly, he rejected her yesterday, so why bother her?
What did Poison Eagle have to do with her?
Whether she’s scared or not, what does it have to do with him?
Does he only have IQ and no EQ, not understanding what she meant by saying “Huo Song is just a senior” and asking him “Do you think I should accept his feelings?”
Or does he know she’s developed feelings for him?
Not liking her himself, yet wanting her to always like him.
Satisfying his male vanity.
Momo stared at the words on her phone screen, growing angrier with her thoughts, her chest feeling suffocated.
Her good mood earlier had soured because of Ye Zhan.
She tightly pressed her lips, quickly replied, “I’m scared, don’t bring up such nonsense with me from now on.”
After sending it, she still felt upset.
Due to the mood he caused her.
She lost her rationality and added, “I considered your suggestion from yesterday, and think my senior is quite good indeed, thanks for the reminder, otherwise I would have missed a lifetime of happiness.”
After sending that message, Momo fell back onto her bed.
She threw her phone to the side of the bed.
She closed her eyes for a moment, not waiting for Ye Zhan to reply to her message.
She couldn’t help but guess wildly in her mind whether he hadn’t read the message, or was reading it, thinking about how to reply.
Or, perhaps he wouldn’t reply to her anymore.
The worst oute would be that she deleted him last night, and he deletes her tonight.
She turned and lay on the bed, at this moment her phone vibrated on the sheets, Momo looked at the screen.
Her lips instinctively tightened.
Ye Zhan wasn’t sending her a message, he was inviting her for a video call.
Video call?
She sneered in anger.
Who wants to video call him?
But this thought was dismissed by another self the next second, she raised her chin.
A video call it is, does he think she doesn’t dare to answer?
She actually wanted to see what Ye Zhan wanted to say.
Whether to congratulate her or for her to thank him?
She quietly took two deep breaths, extending her slender index finger to press the answer button.
At the same time, her head retracted.
The phone lay on the sheets with the camera facing the ceiling.
On the other side of the video call, what Ye Zhan saw was not Momo, but a plain patterned ceiling and soft, warm lights.
He didn’t speak immediately.
Instead, he stared at the environment in the video for a while, then his low, magnetic voice transmitted from the phone, “Momo.”
Because of the word “Momo” he sent in the message just now, Momo heard him call her name, and her first thought was he was calling “Momo,” not “Momo.”
She felt she was being silly.
How could she hear a gentle, lingering tone in his voice?
Frowning, she slowly reached out to pick up the phone, not pointing the camera at herself, but at the wall.
She saw the man sitting on the sofa in the video.
A half-smoked cigarette clamped between his fingers, the background behind him was a wall with a picture of himself hanging on it.
That picture must have been taken years ago, while he was handsome too, his features weren’t as deep and defined as now, there was a hint of youthfulness in his serious and somber expression.
But, that picture looked very good.
Very handsome.
Momo admired the picture while paring the person in the photo with the man on the sofa.
Now, more handsome, more mature, more resolute.
And more manly.
A surge of bitterness arose in her heart, what if this man is more handsome and excellent, he’s not hers.
“Does Young Master Ye often video call with women while wearing pajamas?”
Momo finally spoke, her voice full of undisguised sarcasm.
“This is the first time.”
Ye Zhan squinted his eyes a bit, she wouldn’t let him see her, but in this silent time, she had scrutinized him enough.
He curved his lips into a shallow arc, looking at the headboard and wall exposed in the video, he teased, “You’re not someone who can’t be seen, why hide?”
A sentence that provoked Momo to show her face.
She was also wearing pajamas, a light pink cotton pajama.
Placed alongside Ye Zhan’s dark navy pajamas, it surprisingly gave off a feeling of couple pajamas.
Two unfamiliar people, wearing pajamas, on a video call.
Even separated by a thousand miles, the moment Momo appeared in the camera, an air of ambiguity emerged.
