Tao Yu stiffened for a moment, trying to sound casual: “Nothing, there’s a party upstairs, a bit loud.” Deliberately giving him the cold shoulder was one thing, secretly running to a nightclub was another. Although she had only drunk a little and hadn’t talked to any men, it didn’t mean she could righteously admit being in a nightclub during their cold war.
“Is the studio dormitory environment this bad?” Yue Linze said, getting into a taxi.
Tao Yu quickly changed the subject: “What about you? You still haven’t explained why you were off?”
Just as she finished speaking, Yue Linze’s phone showed only 1% battery left. He said unhappily, “My phone is out of battery. I’ll tell you later.”
After his phone went black, Yue Linze’s expression darkened. He gave the driver an address, and the taxi quickly headed in a certain direction.
Tao Yu called out a few times, but when she called back, the phone was off again. After thinking it over, she felt uneasy and quickly ran to tell the doctor, then turned to run outside. The young man who had been following her saw this and hurried to catch up: “Tao Jie, it’s too chaotic here at night. I’ll go with you.”
“…Okay, thanks,” Tao Yu frowned and said, then led him to catch a taxi.
The nightclub was quite far from the studio. When they arrived, they realized they had forgotten the key and had to find the property management to open the door. After much trouble, they finally got the housekeeper’s contact information. Tao Yu quickly called.
“Sir? Didn’t he tell you he went to the United States to find you?” The housekeeper said in surprise.
Tao Yu’s legs went weak, almost falling. The young man quickly supported her, hearing her trembling, regardless of the intense pain in her foot: “Came to find me? When?”
“According to the flight time, he should have arrived three hours ago. Didn’t he contact you? Could something have happened?” The housekeeper became worried.
Tao Yu hurriedly said, “No, no, no, it’s fine. It’s still night, he might just be resting somewhere. You should rest too. I’ll contact you when I hear from him.
Dismissing the housekeeper, she panicked: “Hurry, I must return to the dorm, my man is here.”
