Chapter 38.2: She’ll Hate Me (2)

Upon seeing Ji Fanyins response, Chen Yunsheng banged his head on his pillow three times. His roommate, who was prepared to burn the midnight oil and study till morning, turned around and stared at him in horror.

Brother Sheng, I havent even gone mad yet. Dont you go mad on me first!

Chen Yunsheng ignored his roommate and sat upward on his bed. He grabbed his phone tightly and stared at it with a serious look on his face for a long time before he began typing carefully.

Big sis, can you come out right now? Ill buy a cake for you

Backspace, backspace. She wont agree to it.

I wish to celebrate big sis birthday. When are you free?

No no, that wont work. Shes already so busy with work. Shed surely prefer to catch some sleep at home than to go out and waste time.

If you meet with anything frustrating at work, you can treat me as a tree hollow. Ill responsibly forget all the secrets you entrust to me.

Like a working person would share a common language with me!

Chen Yunsheng continued banging his head on the pillow and he desperately racked his brain to think up a feasible response. If he dragged out his response for too long, Ji Fanyin might just get busy with work once more, and her next response would be a long time later.

His horrified roommate tiptoed toward his bed with a blanket wrapped around him and poked Chen Yunsheng softly with his pen. Brother Sheng, are you possessed? Say something!

Chen Yunsheng finally released the pillow from its misery and reverted back to his usual cool image. How did you invite your girlfriend out for your first date?

Ah, that. Didnt you already give your medal to her during your basketball match? asked the roommate as he scratched his head with the pen. She hasnt accepted your feelings yet, but it shows that she doesnt detest you. You can just directly ask her out.

Chen Yunsheng:

With a nonchalant expression, he replied, Im scared to.

The roommate was rendered speechless. Youre. Scared. To? My Brother Sheng, Ive shared the same room with you for three years now, and theres not a thing in the world that you dont dare to do! You even rejected our dean when she personally came down to persuade you into joining a competition back then!

Chen Yunsheng glanced at the words he hadnt fully deleted in the conversation window as he murmured, But what if I say something wrong? Shell hate me.

The roommate cleared his throat and assumed the persona of a wise strategist. I got it! My girlfriend once told me that all women love flowers. Also, if you rationally think about it, is there a human in the world who doesnt love money? Why dont you give her flowers and money then? Theres no way you can go wrong with that combination.

Chen Yunsheng thought about it for a while before proceeding to delete everything on the conversation window cleanly.

He tapped into the red packet function and realized that he could only send a maximum of 200 dollars at once. So, he switched to bank transfer and instinctively typed out 52 when it suddenly struck him. He hurriedly backspaced and changed it to 8888.

He stared at the numbers for a long time before asking his roommate for one last confirmation. Will this really work?

His roommate pointed to the sky and vowed, Theres no one in the world who doesnt like money.

He leaned in to take a look, only to be horrified by the number Chen Yunsheng typed. He hurriedly tapped on backspace once to remove an 8 before exclaiming, Brother Sheng, I know that youre from a rich household, but you need to calm down a little! Youll scare her off like that!

Chen Yunsheng quietly typed in his account pin and confirmed the bank transfer of 888 dollars.

Ji Fanyin slowly replied with a series of question marks.

Chen Yunsheng quickly typed out: Happy birthday

His palms were sweating.

Is it convenient for you to pick up a call now? asked Ji Fanyin.

Chen Yunsheng immediately leaped off his bed, slipped into his slippers, and ran out of the dormitory room.

It was 1 A.M., so the dormitory corridor was empty. There were a couple of rooms that were still lit, possibly filled with students who were making a last-ditch effort to pull their grades up.

It was unlikely that he would be disturbed here.

He rested his back against the wall and took in a deep breath to calm his furiously beating heart before replying with a Yeap.

He waited with bated breath for around five seconds before Ji Fanyins request for a voice call came in.

About Chen Yunshengs bank transfer:He was intending to send 520 RMB, which sounds like wo ai ni (I love you) in Chinese, but he realized that it would be a confession. So, he switched it over to a more auspicious 8888 RMB instead.

Additional information about WeChat:You can send money in WeChat conversations using the red packet function, but you can only send 200 RMB at once. So, he switched to a bank transfer (another option supported by WeChat) which allows transfer of larger sums
