Chapter 34: An Ordinary World

  Qiu Tao had already called Zhou Xiao Ran in the afternoon, because she hadn't shown up for her part-time job this afternoon, but Zhou Xiao Ran knew it was her own fault.

  When she came out, she didn't explain to Qiu Tao the reason and time of her coming out, but she knew that Qiu Tao still understood her, because love is about loving each other, and having one's own independent space is a necessary separation.

  "Today, I went out to do a part-time job with my dormitory sister. Please help me ask Auntie for a leave of absence and just say that I have something on. That's it, bye!" Zhou Xiao Ran said hastily before hanging up the phone.

  Qiu Tao is not a talkative person, and when he works part-time to answer phones, there isn't much time for him to be talkative either. So for someone like Zhou Xiaoran who is straightforward and efficient, it's still quite acceptable.

  They still had a long time working together at 'Lan Xuan', and for diligent and frugal them, being able to be self-sufficient was already completely sufficient. Zhou Xiao Ran joined later, but the boss of Lan Xuan still had a special affection for this clever girl, and this time he generously approved her leave.

  Lan Xuan's boss, although only a sixth-grade elementary school dropout, has a better brain than anyone else, is humorous, and although she is just a woman, her belly is full of ink, often playing jokes on her employees and coming up with allusions from ancient to modern times.

  Lan Xuan's name is named after her surname, and their family business is very prosperous. The key reason is that she cooks a good hand of noodles, whether it's cool noodles, dry noodles, or cooked noodles, all are fine. She also advocates for her part-time younger brother to take the initiative to cook in the kitchen.

  However, in line with the customer-centric spirit, it was only when doing his own cooking that he let Qiu Tao and other part-time younger brothers work together to hone their skills.

  It was probably after six o'clock that the sky began to darken, and it was in the midst of a cold winter month, so people felt like going to bed early. Before they knew it, it was already time for dinner, but Lin Xing had been holed up in his dorm room all day.

  This morning was just one class, today is Friday, so the task was easily completed. However, there's another reason why she stayed in her dormitory, that novel "Ordinary World" was too tempting for her, her emotions were completely trapped in that unrequited love story.

  Lin Xing wept along with the people inside, resentful that their love in that era still couldn't be together.

  This book is divided into three parts, from that long vacation to the present. Finally, there are only more than ten pages left. Lin Xing's original intention was to finish it today and then immerse himself in their emotions.

  At the speed she reads, this book should have been finished long ago. However, in an entire school year, she hadn't even flipped through a single page, and it wasn't until she came to this school that she touched it for the first time. Why didn't she want to recall her own ignorance and immaturity?

  Beep, beep, beep...

  Lin Xing's phone rang, and due to being too engrossed, it wasn't until after three rings that she slowly returned to reality from her daze. But when she looked at the screen, it was an unfamiliar number, displaying a local area code.

  Lin Xing thought that after changing her phone number here, no one would contact her again, and she didn't want anyone to remember her again except for her parents.

  So after seeing an unfamiliar number, he hung up directly without hesitation. The other party was not giving up and called again with persistence. Lin Xing helplessly sighed deeply and hung up the phone again in silence.

  The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...
