“Brother, Yue ge, Linze ge, please let go!” The “brother” that should have been soft was called out by Tao Yu as if with deep hatred, sounding nothing like a soft plea.
But even this unsoft “brother” made Yue Linze’s heart skip a beat, completely forgetting his vow from yesterday not to like her again.
His fingers loosened, and Tao Yu’s arm immediately broke free. Seeing her about to run, he grabbed her collar, “Go back to the dormitory and rest. Don’t go see Zhou Ying. Understand?”
Tao Yu rolled her eyes, “He’s just got a cold. Why would I go see him?”
Yue Linze stared at her for a long time, confirming she was telling the truth before his expression improved. He sneered, slightly threatening, “Better not, otherwise…”
The fat guy’s sound system suddenly made a sharp, piercing noise. Tao Yu vaguely heard Yue Linze’s voice but wasn’t sure, so she asked, “What?”
“Figure it out yourself,” Yue Linze glanced at her sideways and then turned to walk away.
Tao Yu was speechless for a moment, staring at his back with some worry. Had she been pushing him too hard lately? He seemed almost like he was having a split personality.
But she didn’t dwell on it, seeing Lao Chang approaching and quickly slipping away.
After leaving the playground, just as she was about to run back to the dormitory and hide, the walkie-talkie rang again. Her scalp immediately tensed, but seeing it wasn’t Lao Chang’s channel, she relaxed and pressed the button, “Zhou Ying?”
“Yes,” Zhou Ying responded in a low mood.
Tao Yu laughed, “I’ve already requested leave for you. Rest assured.”
“Okay, thank you,” Zhou Ying said and then fell silent, but didn’t hang up.
Tao Yu’s mouth twitched, “Is there something else? If not, we’ll…”
“Tao Officer,” Zhou Ying suddenly interrupted, hesitating for a moment, “Could you, could you come and see me?”
“…You just said it wasn’t necessary,” Tao Yu was bewildered.
Zhou Ying looked a bit embarrassed, “I’m feeling down and want someone to keep me company. If you don’t want to come, I’ll ask Lao Chang.”
