Chapter 333: Playing Hard to Get
After listening to Chu Jiaojiao’s flattering nonsense, Ji You couldn’t help but smile slightly, immediately turned around, and strode away. In order to get to the business district sooner, Ji You gritted her teeth and reluctantly spent 5 credit points to take an automated Floating Car.
By noon, the business district was bustling with activity. Many students who had money in their pockets and didn’t want to squeeze into the cafeteria opted to dine in restaurants here. The hotpot restaurant was no exception. When Ji You entered, it was filled with students.
As soon as Ji You stepped in, she bumped into the hotpot restaurant owner and was taken aback, "Owner? Why are you standing at the door?"
Upon seeing Ji You, the restaurant owner also let out a sigh of relief, a smile promptly appearing on his face: "Classmate Ji You, sorry to keep you waiting. I’ve been waiting for you on purpose."
Ji You: "???"
The restaurant owner led Ji You toward a special staff-only corridor, explaining as they walked, "Mengmeng has been a bit unhappy lately, hardly grazing at all, so I’m a bit worried. Just a few days ago, while accompanying Mengmeng watching the news, it saw your figure on the screen and kept bleating at you. Thinking it likes you so much, I invited you over to please talk to Mengmeng and give it some encouragement."
Ji You: "..."
Honestly, she didn’t know how to comfort a llama, but? Judging by the look on the face of the hotpot restaurant owner, she knew it must be true; Mengmeng must be troubled by something to be so unhappy.
So, Ji You immediately said, "I’ll try my best."
"Ah!" The hotpot restaurant owner let out a sigh, saying, "Mengmeng will definitely be very happy to see you."
Scratching her head, Ji You said, "I’ve missed it quite a bit after not seeing it for so many days." As she spoke these words, she felt a tad guilty—truth be told, she had been back for several days and had only cared about studying and competing, not sparing a thought for anything else, having pushed Mengmeng aside in her mind.
Of course, that’s not something she could outright say to the owner, nor could she let Mengmeng know; if the little guy found out, who knows how heartbroken it would be.
