273 A Successful Invitation
“Alright.” He Miao agreed readily.
After all, she had made a promise to her a long time ago. He Miao did not want to go back on her word and delay her from pursuing the thing she liked.
Xu Meng hit the table happily. She was so excited that she did not control her volume, and her voice was so loud that the whole classroom could hear it. “Then let’s go to the school lake at noon to shoot! I heard that the school even placed a boat there!”
“W-what? Are you guys going to take photos?” When the students heard the content of their conversation, they immediately surrounded them curiously.
He Miao’s looks were the best in the entire university, and now she was popular on the internet. The photos she took would definitely go viral on the internet. They also wanted to take some photos of He Miao from the perspective of a passerby. If they posted them online, it would definitely be very popular.
He Miao glared at Xu Meng, then smiled and nodded politely. “Yes, but I have something on today, so I’ll have to take it another day.”
Xu Meng also knew that her loud voice had caused trouble for He Miao, so she quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes, yes. Everything depends on my goddess’s schedule. When I’m done taking pictures, I’ll put them on the internet for the competition. You’ll all be able to see them then!”
The other students also realized that they had been a little rude. They returned to their seats in a daze, but their ears were perked up to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.
Xu Meng saw that the students who had gathered around had all dispersed, and she was relieved. She remembered and asked in a low voice, “What do you have to do this afternoon? Do you want me to go with you?”
He Miao shook her head. “Jing Yan is sick. I’m going back to visit him this afternoon. I’ll also bring him some food.”
“Ah, President Jing is sick!” She could not help but raise her voice again. Then, she immediately covered her mouth and glanced at the direction of Li Ming.
He Miao did not notice her small movements and held her hand guiltily. “I’m sorry, I can’t have lunch with you this afternoon.”
“It’s a small matter. Go and take care of Jing Yan.” Xu Meng waved her hand considerately, then coughed lightly. She suddenly took out her phone and typed a text message, then looked at He Miao and sneakily and smiled.
He Miao was bewildered by her smile and turned on her phone subconsciously. She realized that Jing Yan had sent her a lot of messages during class just now, but she had not heard them because she was used to putting her phone on silent during class.
Other than that, Xu Meng did not send her any text messages.
Then who was she typing to just now?
He Miao narrowed her eyes. She quickly replied to Jing Yan’s message and asked about his health with concern. Then she put away her phone. When she lowered her head to type again, she quickly put her arm around her shoulder and saw the profile picture of the man who had sent her a message.
Xu Meng was caught by her and scratched her head in embarrassment. “Don’t laugh at me. I’m very lonely eating alone in the afternoon. Of course, I need someone to accompany me!”
“Yes, yes, Mengmeng is right.” He Miao played along and did not laugh at her infatuation.
Who else could Xu Meng ask to have dinner with her at this time? Of course, it was Li Ming that she had been thinking about all this time!
She did not know what she and Li Ming were talking about, but when the bell rang, Xu Meng put down her phone with a satisfied look on her face. She raised her eyebrows and looked at He Miao. “It’s done. This afternoon, I have a beauty to accompany me!”
He Miao nodded in amusement and patted her shoulder. “You’re so capable. I wish you a good lunch break.”
After school in the afternoon, He Miao said goodbye to Xu Meng. He sneaked a glance at Li Ming, who was tidying up his desk on purpose. Then, she turned around and walked out of the classroom.
The school canteen was bound to be packed at noon. He Miao was afraid that Jing Yan would get impatient from waiting, so she ordered a few dishes from a restaurant outside and brought them home.
In fact, Jing Yan’s fever had subsided a long time ago, but he still stayed in bed on purpose. When He Miao came back, he would pull her wrist pitifully and complain about his headache.
He Miao touched his forehead and poured him a glass of warm water. “Your fever should be gone now. Your headache should be due to your cold. Eat first and take your medicine later. You can continue to rest at home in the afternoon.”
Jing Yan nodded obediently, then watched as He Miao busied herself with her work. He could not help but feel his heart ache for He Miao. “Sit down and rest. I can do it myself.”
“It’s okay. If you’re sick, you should lie down and rest. You’ve just recovered a little. If it gets serious again, you’ll suffer even more.” She moved the small study table over and placed it on the bed. She placed a few hot dishes on the table and went to the kitchen to get him a bowl and cutleries.
Jing Yan’s heart was filled with happiness. He grabbed her wrist and asked her to sit beside him. Then, he put some food into her mouth with a smile. “You’re hungry too. You don’t have to take care of me. Eat well. You can take a nap here later. I have to go back to the company.”
He Miao looked at him disapprovingly and said, “You haven’t recovered from your illness yet, how can you go back now?”
