I made an agreement with Han Mei at noon that I would treat her to western food in the evening. But in the afternoon I just focused on reading and forgot about this matter.
According to Miss Han Mei's temper, she must be angry. Otherwise, I didn't even get a call all afternoon.
Li Ji was a little panicked. He quickly grabbed his cell phone and dialed Han Mei's number.
"Hey, President Li Da, do you still know how to make phone calls?"
The bell only rang twice before Han Mei's voice came over.
"Sorry, I've been busy this afternoon and didn't take care of it..."
Li Ji said nothing and apologized first.
"If I don't call you, you won't call me? Do you still know how to respect women?"
Han Mei huffed.
"Hey, hey... Han Mei, listen to me," Li Ji pinched his nose and his mind was spinning rapidly, "There was an impromptu loan review meeting in the afternoon and it just ended..."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Han Mei's tone suddenly calmed down, "I was left alone in KFC, drinking a cup of coffee all afternoon..."
Han Mei felt aggrieved and said it pitifully.
"Okay, okay," Li Ji quickly comforted her, "It's all my fault, my fault!"
"Then when will you come over?"
Han Mei's voice suddenly sounded soft, like a ball of marshmallow.
Li Ji felt numbness all over his body and his heart tightened: "Are you here?"
"I'm already near here." The receiver was a mess, with human voices and car sounds, mixed with the sound of car horns. "There is a fashion store here. I just happened to go in and take a look. You are here, give me a call... ..."
"good!"
Li Ji agreed, then hung up the phone when there was no sound in the receiver.
He picked up the briefcase, stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped.
Outside the window, the light gray dusk is getting darker and thicker little by little.
On the road, the sounds of people's voices, shouts, car horns, and motorcycle whistles were intertwined and faintly heard.
Li Ji picked up the phone and called Liao Ying.
"Have you returned to the dormitory?"
As soon as the call was connected, Li Ji asked first.
"Not yet..." Liao Ying was panting a little, "I just finished running on the playground and am about to go back... Do you want to come over?..."
"No," Li Ji frowned, "Han Mei came to my place today. I'll treat her to dinner tonight. You can join her."
"Han Mei?" Liao Ying was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "She's that little fangirl of yours..."
"What little fangirl? She's our junior sister!"
"Haha, you got anxious as soon as I said it," Liao Ying laughed even louder, "I remember when she was in school, she always liked to come to you when she had nothing to do..."
"This happened so many years ago, why are you still mentioning this?"
Li Ji felt a little uncomfortable.
"Well, well," Liao Ying agreed, "I guess I won't go there. That little girl doesn't seem to want to see me..."
"No," Li Ji hurriedly answered, "There is a newly opened Western restaurant here. You just happen to come over and have a try..."
"Well, okay then," Liao Ying paused, "I'm going to go back and take a shower first. I'm all sweaty and sticky, and it's really uncomfortable."
"Okay." Li Ji felt relieved and quickly said, "That Western restaurant is on the commercial street in the east of the city. It's easy to find. You'll see it as soon as you come here."
"Okay, I understand. See you later."
Liao Ying hung up the phone.
Li Ji went out and closed the door.
The lights were on in the corridor, and the door of Wang Shulan's office was closed. I don’t know if I’m gone or if I’m still inside.
Li Ji quickly went downstairs.
He was afraid that Han Mei would be impatient, so he took a taxi at the intersection.
In less than ten minutes, I turned two intersections and looked up. The tall neon sign of the Western restaurant was particularly eye-catching.
Li Ji got out of the car and stood on the roadside to call Han Mei.
Just as the phone rang a few times, Han Mei was seen running out of a fashion store not far ahead. He had a satchel on his shoulder and several handbags in his hands while answering the phone.
"Senior brother, have you arrived? Where are you?"
"Hey, hey! Look ahead..."
Li Ji strode forward, waving.
Han Mei was stunned, put down the phone, and looked around.
"Hey, where are you looking? It's here!"
Li Ji shouted.
Han Mei turned her head and saw Li Ji. Her face lit up and she trotted over: "You big bad pig, you made me bored all afternoon!"
"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to a good meal as compensation," Li Ji smiled along with him, "How about it, Miss Han?"
Han Mei pouted and snorted: "Humph, liar! You should have treated me!"
As he spoke, he pushed the handbag in his hand into Li Ji's arms: "I'll punish you to carry it for me and be my little follower!"
"well......"
Li Ji took the handbag and smiled helplessly.
"What, you don't want to?"
Han Mei glanced sideways at Li Ji with an angry look on her face.
"How dare I!"
Li Ji hurriedly changed his briefcase to his other hand.
"Hmph, there are so many people following me, begging to carry my bag for me, but I still don't like them!"
Han Mei's face only tensed up for a moment before she couldn't help but laugh.
Li Ji knew he couldn't defeat her, so he had no choice but to smile and keep silent.
"I see, only your beautiful lady Liao can command you..."
As Han Mei walked, she turned around and spoke in a longer voice.
"Hey, you..."
Li Ji had no choice but to smile and shake his head.
Han Mei was very proud, with a smile on her pretty face that was a little sweaty.
While talking, the two of them had arrived in front of the western restaurant. Li Ji opened the door and suddenly thought of something. He turned his face sideways and said, "Sister Liao Ying will be here soon to have dinner with you."
"What? She's coming too!"
Han Mei suddenly pulled a long face, stopped and stood at the door, her mouth pouting high.
People pass by from time to time.
Seeing the two of them blocking the door, Li Ji hurriedly tugged at Han Mei's clothes.
However, Han Mei twisted her body, tilted her neck, could not move her feet, and did not even look at Li Ji.
Li Ji looked embarrassed, and hurriedly freed up a hand, stepped forward and hugged Han Mei's shoulder, forced a smile to himself, and whispered: "Han Mei, she is your senior sister, it's not like we haven't eaten together before. After dinner?”
"It was before, but today you specially invited me!"
Han Mei was so angry that she reluctantly moved her body to the side: "I, I don't want to be a light bulb for you two..."
Han Mei's voice dropped, her face turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Ji was so panicked now that he quickly put his handbag and briefcase on the steps behind him and pulled Han Mei over.
"Look at you, you are already working, why are you still so childish?"
Li Ji was also a little unhappy, and his face darkened.
"You obviously wanted to invite me to dinner, so why did you invite someone else..."
Han Mei glanced at Li Ji, still angry.
"She is my girlfriend and your senior sister, how could she be someone else?"
Li Ji was also anxious.
This Miss Han is really unreasonable.
"But, but I..."
