Love You 59 Seconds

Chapter 41

Proofreader: Jesse

By the time Wu Han Ying got back home it was already 6 o'clock and very dark outside. He spent a long time looking around at the phone place, but he finally gritted his teeth and chose the one he likes; even though it was a bit expensive, he had enough money in his bank card to pay for it.

Once they finished at the phone store, Xia Chen drove him back to his house and made the comment that it was getting very dark outside. He ended up dropping Wu Han Ying off right in front of the building despite the small alley being very narrow.

Around here only the small convenience shop place had its light on, the surrounding areas were in complete darkness. Wu Han Ying got out of the car and before he could say anything to Xia Chen, he heard someone calling him. He looked back and heard "thump thump thump" and then felt his heart stop when he saw Wu Ning running towards him from the small convenience shop.

"Car, car! I also want to ride the car!"

"Don't run, be careful so you don't bump into people!" Wu Ning's mother said while following her.

Wu Ning reached out her hand to pull the car door open, but Wu Han Ying stopped her. His aunt held up Wu Ning and slapped her hand, "Don't touch, you can't afford to pay for it if you break it."

"I also want to ride in it." Wu Ning was unhappy and pouted her mouth.

Xia Chen got out of the car and patted Wu Han Ying's shoulder, "Hurry back, I'm also taking Xiao Shang home."

After Wu Han Ying nodded, Xia Chen did not say anything else; he just got into the car and drove away.

When he entered the apartment he found the family was getting ready for dinner; since Wu Han Ying ate too much in the afternoon, he was not even a bit hungry so he went straight to his room. After he entered his room, he felt like something was off. As he stood there he suddenly realized that he still had Xia Chen's coat on; he forgot to return it...

He took off the coat and carefully hung it up, Wu Han Ying sat down on the edge of his bed and clutched his phone; he kept debating whether he should call or send a text message. After he looked at the clock hanging on the wall, he reasoned that Xia Chen might still be driving, so it was best to send a text message.

Seeing as how he wasn't used to the new phone, Wu Han Ying fumbled with it for a long time before he was able to send a text out.

Less than a minute later his phone rang loudly and startled him. The default ringtone was quite different from what he was used to.

A new text message [Professor Xia]:

I also just got home. Just bring the clothes with you tomorrow

18:45:56

A new text message [Professor Xia]:

I'll wait for you downstairs at 2 o'clock tomorrow

18:46:10

Wu Han Ying almost simultaneously received two short messages; the other must have thought he was unclear in his words in the first message. Now he was reminded that he would be sitting in Professor Xia's car while traveling back to school tomorrow, but this time it no longer stressed him out like last night. Professor Xia was pretty easy to get along with, his glacier face might scare one off, but he was not that horrible.
