Chapter 915   Let’s Meet 5

There was no reply.

After some time, Zero’s profile picture dimmed and he was offline.

Did he go offline to head to bed because he thought I was offline after I ignored him for so long?

Xu Wennuan waited a while, but Zero remained offline, so she finally exited the game and closed her eyes to sleep.

……

At that same moment, Lu Bancheng was awoken from his dreams by the sound of his alarm. Battling against his drowsiness, he sent Xu Wennuan a joke and, just when he was prepared to go back to sleep, the message that Xu Wennuan had sent fully woke him up, sending his thoughts into turmoil.

She actually asked to meet me!“Furthermore, you’ve also helped me out in so many ways. I’m quite curious about you, and I want to know what you’re like in real life. I also want to thank you in person.”

Putting off the inevitable, Lu Bancheng chose to delay. “I’ll let you know later. I’m so busy right now, I’m not sure when I’ll have time.”

Xu Wennuan quickly replied, “Sure. If you have some time, then let’s meet. If not, it’s okay. We can set up another date in the future.”

“Sure,” Lu Bancheng replied.

……magic

On December 29th, Xu Wennuan took a 10:00 a.m. plane at Beijing International Airport bound for Hongqiao Airport. After her taxi had reached the hotel and she had checked in, she sent Zero a message: “I’ve reached Shanghai. I’m free any time after this afternoon.”

Zero was offline and, even by the time she was ready to sleep, he still hadn’t replied, but by the time she woke up she had received a few messages from him.

The first one was a joke. The second one said, “I’m sorry. I had to fly to Hong Kong yesterday morning for business. I should have told you yesterday, but I almost missed my flight it was so last minute. I just now managed to log into the game.”

The third message said, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to meet this time. I probably won’t be able to return until the middle of next month.”

The reunion with her classmates had been a lie. She had intentionally come to Shanghai only to meet him specifically. When Xu Wennuan saw Zero’s message, while she was disappointed, there was nothing she could do about it. Thus, she could only pretend that she was alright and replied, “No worries. Let’s meet next time we have a chance.”
