Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Do as I Say if You Want to See Him
Suizi took the envelope and glanced at the address.
That address made her eyes widen in an instant.
Wasn’t that the address of her family’s roller rink?
If it was that close, why not just come over and speak directly, why bother to send a letter?
"Suizi, whose letter is it?" Wang Cuihua asked.
Sensing that something was amiss, Suizi immediately clutched the letter tightly and pretended as if nothing was wrong as she replied, "It’s the study materials I had someone find for me."
Wang Cuihua didn’t suspect a thing and turned around to busily tend to her own matters.
Back in her bedroom with the door closed, Suizi tore open the envelope. Inside was just a thin sheet of paper, with handwriting that wasn’t good-looking, with a sentence written in a crooked manner:
Day after tomorrow at 9 PM, don’t miss our meeting at the roller rink
Suizi couldn’t tell if this was a prank or if there was some ulterior motive.
Yu Jingting should be returning the day after tomorrow.
She would wait until he was back, and they would go together; that way, there would be no fear of someone trying to pull something.
Suizi put the letter away in the drawer and didn’t take the situation to heart.
The day Yu Jingting was expected to return home arrived quickly.
She had committed his train schedule to memory long ago; he was supposed to get home in the afternoon, and Suizi had classes in the morning.
With the thought of seeing Yu Jingting soon, Suizi felt even more cheerful. She could even greet the annoying senior brothers in school with a smile.
After scolding a couple of senior brothers last time, those two never dared to make snide remarks about Suizi again, and they spoke very properly and politely.
They were terrified when Suizi smiled at them.
This woman was smiling just like last time, and it was while smiling that she took care of them. Now, they almost had a psychological shadow over the smiles of beautiful women, scattering away like mice spotting a cat whenever they encountered Suizi.
Their senior sister within the same group was quite surprised by this and took the opportunity to sneakily ask Suizi when no one was around:
"I’ve never seen those two act so courteously before. What kind of magic did you use on them?"
Suizi just smiled without saying a word.
Some people are just what they call in Dongbei dialect, "cheap skinned."
When you’re too kind to them, they think they can walk all over you. They have to witness your tough side before they will leave you in peace afterward.
That’s probably what Yu Jingting meant; when words can’t solve a problem, let fists do the talking.
"Suizi, your dress is so pretty today." Her senior sister touched Suizi’s dress.
Today, Suizi was wearing a light green cheongsam, like a classic beauty stepping out of an ink painting, with an intelligent and refined demeanor, her breath as fragrant as orchids.
As she walked down the street, she turned every head.
"My beloved is coming back from a business trip, so I need to make a good impression." Suizi explained with a beaming smile.
Her senior sister couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Dressing like that, it makes me want to fall in love too. Alas, my family keeps urging me, saying others my age are already holding their children, while I’m still studying."
"If you find someone suitable, don’t let them go; if not, don’t settle. Just let it be." Suizi also liked this senior sister very much; she was always smiling, very festive.
"We’re in the university all day long; where do we find the time to look for a partner? I’d like to find someone from those around me, but just look at those two jokers... Really, choosing someone like that, I’d rather stay single for life."
Suizi seriously suspected that she might have developed a fear of men after spending too much time with those two guys as classmates, causing her to lose any conventional desire for men.
There were indeed quite a few couples in the school, but most were students dating fellow students, or male students dating their junior female classmates.
It became slightly more difficult for senior female students to find a partner, and if they hadn’t found their other half by the time they were about to graduate from their graduate studies, the chances of finding a partner within the school were slim.
"By the way, Suizi, doesn’t your family own an inline skating rink? What if I go skate there when I’m free; could I meet some handsome young men? I’m not asking for much, just someone with a good temperament like your boyfriend."
"Uh..." Suizi thought to herself that Yu Jingting wasn’t exactly known for having a good temperament. Her senior must have seen Yu Jingting always smiling when he picked her up, and thus mistook him for a good-tempered man.
"Senior, if you really want to get out of being single, don’t pick from entertainment venues. I feel people who are into playing around aren’t that home-oriented. I’ll have my parents keep an eye out for you, there are quite a few excellent guys at their workplace."
The senior sister didn’t hesitate to accept the offer enthusiastically, and Suizi liked her straightforward and unguarded personality.
"By the way, Suizi, do you know anyone at the Science University Laboratory?" the senior sister asked.
"What’s up?"
"My cousin is doing an internship there, and she has been out of sorts recently. She won’t talk about it when asked, and I’m worried she might be getting bullied. I want to find someone who knows the place to ask around."
"My child’s godfather is an associate professor there. I’ll write you a note, and you can go straight to him with it, and just tell him directly if there’s anything."
Since Suizi had a meeting with Yu Jingting in the afternoon and couldn’t personally accompany her senior sister, she wrote her a note instead.
Thinking of Su Zhe’s quirky temperament, Suizi added, "Professor Su is our children’s godfather. He might seem a bit cold, but he’s not a bad person. It’s just that sometimes he’s very blunt. It’s common for those who do research to not interact much with the outside world."
"Okay, got it—wait, you’re talking about Professor Su? Su Zhe, the professor?"
"Yeah, do you know him?"
"I’ve seen his picture in the newspaper. My dad talks about him constantly, treating him as an idol. He says he’s a genius in the field of chemistry."
The senior sister’s parents were both teachers, and her father, who taught chemistry, paid extra attention to such reports.
"When I first chose my major, I didn’t pick chemistry, and my dad nearly gave me a mouthful. But honestly, I really dislike that stuff. If the old man knew I was going to see his idol, he might die of excitement. I need to go back to my dorm and change my clothes, and dig out the newspaper that reported on Professor Su’s achievements, to get an autograph for my dad."
"You don’t need to be so nervous, Professor Su—he’s very approachable." What Suizi really wanted to say was that it wouldn’t make much difference whether you change your clothes or not. Su Zhe only had eyes for his apparatus.
After all, back then, he even married someone like Lun Lamei, which showed that in his eyes, the difference between women was not significant.
In the afternoon, Suizi prepared a bunch of dishes that Yu Jingting liked in advance.
The boy and girl twins sneaked in several times to check and, confirming that their mom was back to her normal standards and wasn’t making any bizarre innovations like "stir-fried watermelon," they sighed with relief. They silently thought to themselves that life was good with their dad around.
Mom was back to normal because dad was coming back.
By four o’clock, Yu Jingting still hadn’t returned. Suizi thought the train might be delayed, waited a bit longer, but by five-thirty, when it was time for dinner, he still wasn’t back.
Suizi called the train station for information, only to learn that the train had arrived on time.
The train was on schedule, but the person hadn’t come back.
Jinnan had called Suizi before boarding the train, telling her not to pick him up, as Uncle Four had to drive somewhere in the afternoon, so Suizi didn’t go.
"What’s the matter?" Wang Cuihua asked.
"It’s nothing, maybe there’s a delay. Let’s have dinner first," Suizi deliberately said this to her mother-in-law, not wanting to worry her before getting to the bottom of the situation.
The home phone rang, and Suizi went to answer it. The voice on the other end was completely unfamiliar.
"Come to the inline skating rink at nine tonight, not earlier and not later."
"Who are you? Are you the one who sent the letter?"
"If you want to stay alive and see your man again, do as I tell you."
