Chapter 088 : Don't Treat Me Too Well

He Jin’s fingers trembled and quickly replied, “no.”

Although he had already felt different than before, when he was on the game. He wasn’t really ready to meet Fire in real person. As “meeting” would mean a different beginning. He would be nervous, and he would fear or even retrieve…

Qin Yu just said that, and of course, they were still following their agreement at the very beginning. Like He Jin, although the last boundary between them was almost breaking, they still tried not to break it. Otherwise, he would have approached to He Jin openly long time ago.

Seeing that He Jin decisively refused, he also felt at ease, he thought for a while for the next strategy.

He Jin was afraid that Fire would overthink, he temporarily got the money. But he had made up his mind that it’s only borrowing.

He returned to A city with much difficulty, and there were even fewer people than his hometown. In big cities, most people are from other cities. At this time, most of them were still spending the New Year in their hometown and hadn’t returned.

As he had things to worry about, He Jin didn’t fall asleep on the train. He had to endure the fatigue to return to the University. Sure enough, all the staff was still on leave, and students who chose to stay in the dormitory had to get the approval to stay. He Jin had no other ways but to stay outside.

On the way to find a place to live, He Jin was fortunate to find a Costa café with a recruitment announcement.  But when he saw it, the café was already closed, and there were only a few lights that stayed on. He Jin saw someone cleaning inside and lightly knocked on the glass door.

It was a girl who was of a similar age as He Jin. She waved her hand from far away, meaning that it’s closed.

He Jin pointed at the recruitment notice, and the girl opened the door for him.

“Are you still recruiting?” He Jin asked.

The girl looked at him thoroughly and said, “yes, there’s no one to work during the New Year, and we do need someone. But our manager has left, why don’t you come back tomorrow?”

He Jin took the business card that the girl gave him and found a guest house nearby.

He had only eaten a tea egg for the whole day. At 10 p.m., He Jin was so hungry that he had no strength at all, but he didn’t have any appetite. He just wanted to take a shower and go to sleep.

After taking a hot bath, He Jin went back to his bed, and his bracelet vibrated – it was Fire, “where are you? Has the train arrived?”

When he was just going to reply, his bracelet vibrated again, and there was another message from Qin Yu, “what are you busy with these days? Haven’t heard from you for a while.”

He Jin was stunned, what a coincidence…

He first responded to Fire and said, “I did, and I’m at a place near school now.”

He went back to the message interface and was a little hesitant about telling Qin Yu about him leaving home…it might be because he still wanted to retain a bit of his self-ego. He was reluctant to rely on anyone, especially someone who he had good feelings for. Qin Yu was an enthusiastic guy, but He Jin thought that he couldn’t take advantage of him.

He thought for a while and responded to Qin Yu, “yeah, I’ve been visiting relatives these days.”

Qin Yu, “…” (=_=)

For someone who didn’t understand He Jin’s personality, Qin Yu might feel like being lied to. But then, he realized that the second message of He Jin was a lie…it’s strange, why would he be honest to Fire but lie to himself instead?
