Chapter 808: Asking for Help

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

So youre Lengans roommate! The voice on the other end of the line regained its warmth. I wonder what brings you to me?

Murong Yumeng didnt believe a word of what this so-called Zhou Cuian had said. Although she didnt know who the caller was, it was unlikely that Ye Lengan had given her number to this girl. However, it was evident that the caller didnt have a good relations.h.i.+p with Ye Lengan.

Hearing Murong Yumengs soothing voice, Zhou Cuian felt somewhat rea.s.sured, but she still didnt know how to approach the situation. She and Murong Yumeng had never interacted before, so suddenly asking for her help felt rather abrupt. Would she come across as too needy?

There was no response from the other end for a while. If Murong Yumeng hadnt heard the nervous breaths, she would have thought the call had disconnected.

After some consideration, Murong Yumeng spoke up, I think its inconvenient to discuss this over the phone. Shall we meet in person?

Is that alright? Zhou Cuian was pleasantly surprised. Then, when would Senior Sister be available?

Im at the school right now, Murong Yumeng said slowly. How about we meet at a caf outside the school in half an hour?

Zhou Cuian suppressed her excitement. Okay, Ill head over right away.

Even after hanging up, Zhou Cuian remained excited, her hands trembling. She hadnt expected her call to Murong Yumeng to go so smoothly.

Now she needed to figure out how to explain things to Murong Yumeng. Though she hadnt met her in person, rumors portrayed her as a gentle person. So, if she explained her predicament, Murong Yumeng would likely be willing to help.

Zhou Cuian arrived at the caf early, waiting for Murong Yumengs arrival.

Half an hour pa.s.sed quickly, but there was no sign of Murong Yumeng. Zhou Cuian began to feel anxious.

As time went by, her initial excitement turned to disappointment. In the end, her heart grew cold, especially when Murong Yumeng still hadnt shown up.

She didnt know if Murong Yumeng had forgotten their appointment or if something had come up.

Regardless, she didnt dare leave, fearing that Murong Yumeng would arrive and not find her, which would be quite offensive.

Moreover, this was her only chance. If she missed it, she didnt know what to do next. So, she continued to wait.

As time pa.s.sed, Zhou Cuian grew increasingly restless. Nearly two hours went by with no sign of Murong Yumeng.

Just as Zhou Cuian was about to lose hope, a figure suddenly appeared before her, accompanied by a familiar, gentle voice.

h.e.l.lo, are you Junior Sister Zhou Cuian? Murong Yumeng wore a gentle smile. Im Murong Yumeng.

Hearing Murong Yumengs voice, Zhou Cuians spirits, which had sunk, immediately lifted. She stood up abruptly.

A sharp creak echoed as Zhou Cuians chair sc.r.a.ped against the floor.

The noise stood out in the quiet caf, drawing the attention of others.

Zhou Cuian realized her actions were inappropriate. Her face turned red under the scrutiny of others, and she felt incredibly awkward as she apologized, Senior Sister Murong, Im sorry, I

She didnt know why she was apologizing to Murong Yumeng, but she felt like she had done something wrong.

Though disdain flashed in Murong Yumengs eyes, she maintained her calm demeanor. Its okay, Junior Sister Zhou. Lets sit down.

The two sat down again.

Murong Yumeng ordered a cup of coffee.

After placing their order, Murong Yumeng turned to Zhou Cuian with an apologetic expression. Junior Sister Zhou, Im truly sorry. I intended to meet you much earlier, but an urgent matter came up at the Student Council. I had to deal with it immediately and couldnt call you. Im sorry for making you wait.

Its alright, really. Zhou Cuian was touched by Murong Yumengs apology. She waved it off, saying, Senior Sister Murong, youre too kind. To be honest, Im the one inconveniencing you today. Im just grateful you agreed to meet me.

Murong Yumeng smiled and didnt dwell on it. Instead, she asked, So, Junior Sister Zhou, why did you call me?

In truth, Murong Yumeng didnt have any pressing matters. She simply wanted to keep Zhou Cuian waiting. The longer Zhou Cuian waited, the more anxious she would become, which would work in Murong Yumengs favor.

However, seeing that Zhou Cuian had waited even though she was so late, it seemed she was genuinely anxious.

After hearing Murong Yumengs words, Zhou Cuian fell silent. She deliberated on how to broach the subject without sounding too abrupt.

Junior Sister Zhou, if you have something to say, just say it, Murong Yumeng said calmly. Since were already here, theres no need to beat around the bush. If you need my help, just ask. Ill do my best to a.s.sist you.

Hearing Murong Yumengs gentle encouragement, Zhou Cuians anxiety eased. She took a deep breath and said, Senior Sister Murong, I actually reached out to you because I need your help with something. The winter break has begun, and Im looking for a holiday job. However, those companies dont provide accommodation, and the school doesnt allow overnight stays, so I
