Yun Bujin did not want her to get involved, but she did anyway. What was as difficult as climbing the heavens for him was nothing for her. He found it hard to even get a meeting with Zhou Hao, yet Jiang Mianmian had him released in less than three days.
This was the gap between him and Jiang Mianmian, a chasm of difference.
"Brother Yun, I can't talk to you now. I need to go home and see Fangfang. She must be worried," Zhou Hao said, turning and running off before Yun Bujin could say anything.
Yun Bujin was speechless.
He hoped Zhou Hao wouldn't be disappointed when he got home.
He immediately took out his phone and called Jiang Mianmian. Mianmian quickly answered, "Hello, classmate Yun, you finally remembered me. I thought you'd completely forgotten me."
Mianmian's tone held a hint of complaint.
"I owe you a huge favor again," Yun Bujin said with a smile. Although he didn't want her to help, since she had, he could only thank her.
"Hmph, why is it you who owes me a huge favor? Shouldn't it be Zhou Hao? You don't always have to take everything upon yourself. Besides, this was handled by my uncle, a trivial matter," Mianmian said casually, not wanting him to feel burdened.
"You don't know Zhou Hao well. If it weren't for me, would you have helped him?" Yun Bujin didn't want to shirk his debt. If he owed her, he owed her, and he would repay it.
"No! I'm not that idle. So, you'll treat me to something delicious!" Mianmian said with a chuckle.
Yun Bujin sniffled, almost in tears. "Jiang Mianmian, do you even know how big the gap is between us? What's impossible for me is something you can do with a flick of your finger. What good deeds did I do in my past life to meet an angel like you in this one?"
"Then you must have saved the entire galaxy," Mianmian said with a smile.
"I want to see you right now," Yun Bujin couldn't control his longing for her any longer.
"See me for what? Hurry home and study. I did all this precisely because I don't want trivial matters to interfere with your studies, understand? Let's put the food off for now. Go home quickly."
Yun Bujin cried with emotion on his way back, but he wouldn't admit he was crying. He thought it was just the wind blowing because the car was going too fast.
...
When Zhou Hao returned home, Fangfang was on the phone. She was so startled when she saw him that the phone slipped from her hand. However, Zhou Hao mistook it for her being overly excited and losing her composure out of happiness.
"Fangfang, I'm back! I'm sorry for making you worry," Zhou Hao entered and hugged Fangfang tightly.
Fangfang smiled awkwardly, momentarily at a loss for words, her mind not quite working. After a while, she cautiously asked, "How did you get out?"
"How else could I have gotten out? It must be that young lady who helped. That young lady is so resourceful, getting me out was as easy as flicking her fingers," Zhou Hao said with a smile. He looked at her pale face and said with concern, "Were you worried? Don't worry, I'm out now, aren't I? By the way, how has my grandfather been these past few days?"
"Huh? Oh, he's fine. I've been taking care of him. I figured if you couldn't get out, I'd just live with Grandpa, and I'd take care of the old man then," Fangfang actually still wanted the house. Although the house was run-down, its location was excellent and it was worth a lot.
