TVSFPAG -Chapter 83 I Really Don’t Have Time to Deal With Your Nonsense

She ignored all the messages he had sent and first claimed the red packets.

Fifty cents, eighty-eight cents, five yuan and twenty cents, one yuan and thirty-four cents—none of them exceeded fourteen yuan.

After collecting everything, her balance had increased by less than eighty yuan.

This guy… was he sending her red packets whenever he had free time? And always in such small amounts?

Her gaze shifted to the last message, and Song Yunfei froze.

It was a poster.

On the poster was a woman who looked somewhat heroic yet very beautiful.

Next to it were the words “Xiao Xian.”

“Fengyue Real Estate 20th Anniversary Celebration, Special Guest: Xiao Xian”

“Starlight Encounter | Xiao Xian Invites You to Celebrate Fengyue’s 20-Year Journey”

Song Yunfei’s expression visibly darkened. The Feng family had actually invited Xiao Xian to perform commercially?

Although Xiao Xian wasn’t a top-tier superstar, her family was well-off, and acting was just her hobby. Why would she agree to the Feng family’s invitation?

“What’s wrong?”

Chu Jinhan’s voice came from above her head. Song Yunfei snapped back to reality and quickly turned off her phone screen.

She forced a smile. “Nothing. A client suddenly wants to go look at houses, so I need to go out for a bit.”

“Now?”

Song Yunfei nodded. “Mm, they’re only free after work.”

Chu Jinhan’s gaze lingered on her face for a moment. “Do you need me to go with you?”

She waved her hands repeatedly. “No need, no need. The electric scooter can’t fit three people anyway. I’ll be back soon—you don’t need to worry about me.”

After saying that, Song Yunfei didn’t wait for Chu Jinhan to respond and hurried out the door.

When she reached the entrance, she turned back, smiled at Chu Jinhan, and picked up the car keys from the table.

Chu Jinhan watched her leave. After a long moment, he withdrew his gaze and threw the cockroach poison into the trash bin.

Song Yunfei drove the scooter about one kilometer away before calling Bai Yu back.

It didn’t take long for the call to connect.

Bai Yu’s voice came through. “I thought you’d gone missing—I was about to call the police.”

Song Yunfei wasn’t in the mood for jokes and asked anxiously, “What did you mean by sending that poster?”

“Didn’t I already send it to you? If you don’t understand, you can come find me—I’ll analyze it for you word by word.”

“…I really don’t have time to deal with your nonsense anymore.”

Bai Yu laughed lightly. “So nervous? I thought you had already completely won over Chu Jinhan—you’re not afraid anymore.”

Song Yunfei said irritably, “Aren’t you afraid?”

“I’m just an accomplice at most. I’d get three years at most. If my parents remember me, I might be out in a few months. Oh right, I can also say you threatened me—should be able to reduce the sentence a bit.”

Hearing this, Song Yunfei couldn’t help but laugh, then hung up the phone.

Now she didn’t even have her only “cellmate” left—she was truly on her own, singing a lonely tune behind metaphorical prison bars.

Less than two minutes later, Bai Yu called again.

This time, he was more serious. “No need to be so nervous. Just keep Chu Jinhan under control and don’t let him wander around. As long as the two of them don’t meet, everything should be fine.”

“If Xiao Xian really wanted to do something, why go through all this trouble? She could just show up directly. Most likely, she just wants to watch the show.”

Hearing this, Song Yunfei fell even more silent.

Because she had already agreed to Li Miao—could she still refuse now?

Seeing her remain silent for a long time, Bai Yu spoke again. “Or… how about you come with me now?”

Song Yunfei subconsciously asked, “Go where?”

Bai Yu countered, “Where do you want to go?”

Song Yunfei tentatively asked, “Anywhere is fine?”

“Of course. Anywhere in the world—except other planets. But you’d better not pick somewhere I don’t understand the language.”

Song Yunfei fell silent again.

Bai Yu chuckled. “It’s fine, I’m not in a rush. Take your time to think.”

He was very confident that the two of them would not end up together, so he wasn’t anxious at all.

After hanging up, Song Yunfei squatted beside the electric scooter, her mood extremely complicated.

Running away with Bai Yu was the worst possible option. Unless absolutely necessary, she would not go with him.

Only she herself was the most reliable.

After squatting by the roadside to calm down for half an hour, Song Yunfei finally stood up.

She supported herself on the electric scooter, grimacing in pain.

Her legs had gone numb!

When she returned to the rented apartment, it was already dark outside.

The sound of square dancing music permeated the entire building without any obstruction. The dim lighting in the room made the old, worn-out space feel even more lonely and desolate.

Dinner was laid out on the table, and Chu Jinhan was sitting on the sofa, head down, tapping on his phone.

Hearing the noise, he looked up.

Song Yunfei smiled. “You haven’t eaten yet?”

Chu Jinhan put away his phone and stood up from the sofa. “I was waiting for you.”

Song Yunfei paused. Thinking of that poster, a sense of urgency mixed with an indescribably complex feeling filled her heart, leaving her emotionally unsettled.

She placed the car keys on the cabinet by the door and changed her shoes.

“You don’t have to wait for me. What if I had already eaten outside?”

“Mm.”

What did that “mm” mean?

Song Yunfei sighed and didn’t dwell on it.

She went to wash her hands in the bathroom before coming out and sitting at the small table.

“Your cooking is really getting better and better,” Song Yunfei said after taking a couple of bites, unable to help praising him.

This was genuine praise, because his cooking had indeed improved a lot compared to before. It was clear he had been seriously working on his cooking these days.

“People always need to improve,” Chu Jinhan said as he picked up his chopsticks and added a piece of egg from the tomato and egg dish to her bowl.

Song Yunfei liked tomato and egg, but she only liked the egg part.

Whenever Chu Jinhan cooked, this dish was almost always included.

Looking at the egg in her bowl, Song Yunfei felt even more emotionally conflicted.

The two of them finished their meal in silence. As usual, they took the dog out for a walk, then returned and washed up.

However, with something on her mind, Song Yunfei was much quieter today.

Chu Jinhan was already a man of few words. With her silence added in, the atmosphere between them became somewhat strange.

When Chu Jinhan went to take a shower, Song Yunfei opened her computer and accessed the websites she had bookmarked.

These were all sites she had saved earlier for TOEFL preparation—such as TestMagic, mock exams, and various speaking, listening, reading, and writing practice platforms.

When she was in university, her English had been decent—she had at least passed the CET-6 exam.

But after graduation, since she rarely used it, she had basically returned everything to her teacher.

Now that she was relearning, it felt no easier than cramming for the college entrance exam back then. After just a couple of glances, she already felt sleepy.

Some of these websites she could only look at secretly and study in private—if Chu Jinhan discovered it, her junior high school education would be exposed in an instant.

This time, she wasn’t slacking off anymore. She was genuinely studying and even prepared a notebook to take notes.

Because she was too focused, she didn’t notice someone standing behind her.

“Why have you become so diligent all of a sudden?”

Only when Chu Jinhan spoke did Song Yunfei startle, her hand shaking.

She turned around and saw Chu Jinhan wearing his familiar sleepwear, arms crossed, staring directly at the webpage on her screen.

Song Yunfei chuckled awkwardly. “Didn’t I tell you? I want to learn something. I need to improve too—otherwise how can I be worthy of you?”

“Can you understand all of this?”

“Not really.” She put on a tired expression, rubbing her forehead. “It’s too hard. Why is learning this so difficult? My head hurts just looking at it.”

Chu Jinhan shifted his gaze from the computer to her face and said seriously, “It’s a good thing that you want to learn. You don’t need to sneak around.”

Song Yunfei subconsciously objected, “I’m not sneaking around!”

Chu Jinhan ignored her words, pulled over a stool, and sat beside her, looking like he was ready to help her study.

“It’s fine. If you don’t understand something, you can ask me.”

…He really was quite a good person.
