Chapter 168 Did you kill Aqiang?
"Go home!" Si Chen raised his hand, ruffling Tong Yao’s hair. His eyes softened, and his voice mellowed, "Ensure all doors and windows are locked tonight. If anything happens, contact Boyi or Xiaohui. I’ll be back once I finish my work in Kyoto."
After Si Chen left, Tong Yao suddenly felt like a large part of her heart was missing. Normally, they saw each other every day, so she didn’t think much of it. But now, knowing that Si Chen would be away for ten days, she inevitably felt a little lost and empty.
"Sister-in-law, these are the steamed buns I made. Give it a taste." Back at the dormitory, Tong Yao ate a few buns, and gave the rest to Li Nuanchun.
"Oh my, sis, you’re so talented. These steamed buns are beautifully made. I can’t bear to eat them." Li Nuanchun received the buns with a smile that narrowed her eyes into slits.
"Hmm... I was just messing around. I got up too early and I’m a bit sleepy now, so I’ll take a nap."
Tong Yao handed out the buns, exchanged a few polite words, and returned to her room. She was really tired now. As there wasn’t much to do, she could take a nap and, in the afternoon, go check on the progress of her shop’s renovation.
By Monday, she should get a move on with her permit applications to ensure no delays for the shop’s opening.
Meanwhile...
At the sound of the train horn, the train started to move slowly and soon gained speed. Si Chen and Professor Qu had just found their beds, put down their luggage, and were resting on the lower bunk. Because they were rushing to catch the train, none of them had time for breakfast.
The doctor traveling with Professor Qu said, "You guys rest. I’ll go check if breakfast is still available."
