Chapter 157 - 153 So strange in the dead of night
Li Xianglu was woken up in the morning by a wake-up call. It was from Qin Xi. Li Xianglu, in a drowsy voice, said she would get up in five more minutes and went back to sleep after hanging up, only to be woken again by the phone half an hour later.
Li Xianglu helplessly picked up the phone and said she would get up right away, then she did climb out of bed, tossed her face mask and pajamas into the Storage Ring, washed her face, changed into a sleeveless floral long dress, tied her hair into two cute braids, and put on the diamond bracelet her grandfather gave her, as well as a pair of cloth sandals mailed to her by Qu Yeyu, which even flaunted some embroidered flowers.
This was originally a design drawn by Li Xianglu herself, but because both of them were preparing for college entrance exams, they ran out of time and just had to set it aside.
Who knew that not long after school started, Qu Yeyu mailed her two pairs, and even lined them with a layer of white dacron.
Li Xianglu didn’t know how many cloth sandals she had like these, but Qu Yeyu didn’t have any, so she must have gone through a lot to send the cloth. That’s why after receiving it, Li Xianglu mailed back two pieces of darker colored cloth to make her two ’denim skirts’ and in her reply told her they were made big and she didn’t like the color, hoping Qu Yeyu would wear them for her. Qu Yeyu naively accepted them, and even reprimanded Li Xianglu in her letter, saying her good tailor was unreliable and couldn’t even measure clothes properly.
Qin Xi saw that the girl was wearing a floral long dress that was a different style from yesterday’s cheongsam; every outfit she wore was beautiful, and Qin Xi couldn’t help but affectionately touch her braids.
The restaurant was on the second floor; they took the elevator down and showed their room card to enter for an English breakfast. After eating boat meals for more than a day, Li Xianglu was somewhat missing the fried dough sticks with millet porridge from the capital, and wondered if her grandfather slept well last night.
Seeing Li Xianglu’s somewhat downcast mood, Qin Xi smiled slightly and said, "What, missing your grandpa after just one day out? Didn’t you just call last night?"
Li Xianglu’s plump lips pouted slightly as she sniffled and stubbornly said, "I just miss him."
