CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 442: THIS WINTER IS REALLY COLD (2)

The call went through but no one answered, Zhou Chengze’s gathering naturally included Qi Cheng, and after she called Zhou Chengze, she was informed that Sheng Jianan had something urgent come up and had gone on a business trip to the United States.

Tang Yanqi frowned, something urgent, why didn’t he tell her?

She hesitated for a moment, then dialed Qiao Zi’s number, getting the same explanation as from Zhou Chengze, only Qiao Zi added: "Because it was urgent, they’re already at the airport now."

Tang Yanqi didn’t think much of it; Sheng Jianan being busy flying here and there was expected.

Since he wasn’t around, Tang Yanqi had no reason to go over, and having not returned to the dormitory for a while, she decided to go back to school with Bai Xue.

That night, when Bai Bing came back, there were clear traces of crying in her eyes, but she was very calm. Qi Cheng hadn’t returned. The three of them ordered takeout to the dormitory, and Tang Yanqi ran downstairs to buy two bottles of beer.

The three of them spread out newspapers on the floor, sat cross-legged, and placed a heap of junk food in front of them. Bai Bing raised her cup and shouted with a smile, "To putting an end to an unrequited love, cheers!"

Tang Yanqi and Bai Xue exchanged a glance, raising their glasses to accompany her.

Initially, Tang Yanqi only bought two bottles of beer, then Bai Xue went down to buy once more, and Bai Bing also went down to buy once more.

In short, when Qi Cheng pushed open the dormitory door, a wall of alcohol smell greeted him, and the three were already sprawled on the ground, sleeping messily.

"Oh my God, what are you... I thought you decided not to get drunk."

Qi Cheng exerted great effort to get the three of them onto the beds.

By the next morning, when Tang Yanqi woke up, the dormitory still reeked of alcohol. Bai Bing had drunk the most and was still asleep.

Tang Yanqi scratched her head, climbed down, and heard the sound of water in the bathroom. The dormitory door was pushed open, and Qi Cheng came in carrying a bunch of stuff: "Tangtang, you’re awake? Have some breakfast. I especially went out to buy it, not from the school cafeteria."

Tang Yanqi sat down on the chair, grabbed her phone for a look, found it had no power, hurriedly checked the time, it was already past nine. She couldn’t remember anything after getting drunk last night. Did Sheng Jianan call her?

She quickly grabbed a charger and powered it on.

There was nothing – no messages, no missed calls.

But after thinking about it, it was understandable. He was flying to the United States, probably spending the night on the plane; it made sense not to call her.

However, noon, afternoon, evening... a whole day passed with no word from Sheng Jianan.

Tang Yanqi looked at her book or wrote her thesis, frequently checking her phone. After an unknown number of times, Qi Cheng finally teased, "What’s this? Already pining for him after just parting ways?"

Tang Yanqi rolled her eyes at her, but also found herself funny. In the past, not hearing anything from Sheng Jianan for half a month was normal, and she didn’t feel anything then. So why did it feel this way now?

Since it was urgent, maybe he was just busy and, with the time difference, hadn’t been able to contact her yet.

Tang Yanqi put her phone away and buried herself in her thesis.

By Monday, gossip about her and Shen Yao wearing the same dress at the Christmas party and her being the "lucky one" to dance with the big boss was already rampant, but none of it sounded nice.

It was nothing more than the sour grapes attitude of those who couldn’t have what they wanted.

Tang Yanqi occasionally heard a few bits but didn’t really care.
