67. I miss you

''Sigh... I can't beleive that you wasted such a golden opportunity. Great Qi is treating and you just chose a street stall to waste it. Sigh... what a waste.'' Mo Shaoming couldn't take such a loss in.

''Wait till you try the food here. I'm sure you will swallow your words then.'' Just after Li Zhilan said it, the owner started placing food on their table.

''Little Orchid, you didn't come yesterday.''

''Uncle Jiang, I was visiting my family yesterday.''

Li Zhilan had indeed went to visit the family from her maternal side yesterday. They had not allowed her to leave so she had spent the night there as well.

The owner and Li Zhilan talked like they knew eachother for a long time.

''What are you waiting for? Let's start.'' Saying so Li Zhilan stuffed a piece of shrimp in her mouth and let out a satisfied 'mmm...' sound. The other three also started eating but reluctantly as they didn't have much hope for it except for Qi Longwei. He had long learned that as long as she was the one who recommended the food, it's going to be great. And that proved right. The rich taste of the shrimp worked like fireworks on their tongue.

When they were in the middle of their food, Li Zhilan's phone went off.

''Is it 5 already?'' Seeing how unusual the greeting was Mo Shoiming immediately looked at the time and it was really exactly 5.

''...'' The other side didn't say anything but Li Zhilan continued to speak.

''Still mad?'' Her tone had a hint of helplessness that the three boys who were bussy eating instantly picked up their ears.

''...''

''I'm eating shrimp you know. It's very tasty. The spicyness of it works wonders on my tongue that I don't want to stop.''

''...''

Li Zhilan went on describing the food on the table with such vigor that anyone could tell the the person on the other side of the phone was someone she considered dear to her. And from how the phone was answered and how she didn't feel shocked when the other party didn't speak, it seemed like this had been going on for quite sometime.

The Orchid infront of them wasn't like the tigress they normally see everyday when she fought with Qi Longwei nor the clam girl she is with her friends. This one seemed different. The way that she talked said that the person on the other end was someone very important. If it wasnt someone important, she won't have entertained any more than a hello. And the way she asked 'is it 5 already?' clearly showed that the person on the other end called at 5 everyday.

''Come on. I'm sorry okay? I won't do it again. Why don't we do it like this. You guys come here this weekend and I'll treat you all. What do you say?''

''You think you can get us off just like this? You didn't even let us get out the last time and immediately sent us back the moment we landed. You-" It was Ashton who said it and the rest remained silent but that clearly showed that they agreed with Ashton.

''It's my fault. I shouldn't have done that. Sorry sorry. Come her this weekend and I treat you wherever you say. I can even take you sight seeing or we could even go for camping. Come fast. I miss you all.''

As soon as the last sentence was dropped, the temperature inside the room dropped drastically. The two who were sitting beside Qi Longwei felt cold sweet tickle down their backs.
