Song Bojian took it and gave Yu Nan his.
Yu Nan accepted it with delight.
"I'll talk to you later," Song Bojian said politely and then was about to leave.
Of course, Yu Nan knew that Song Bojian was just being polite. He smiled and said, "Alright, I look forward to meeting you again next time."
Qi Mei stood beside Di Xiqun, waiting to leave with them.
Di Xiqun felt that things weren't quite right between the two of them, so he nudged Qi Mei with his elbow and gave her a meaningful glance.
Qi Mei rolled her eyes at him, telling him not to misbehave.
Song Bojian glanced over from the corner of his eye and seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He directly said to Qi Mei, "I'll just leave my coat at your place first. I have to go to Shanghai in the afternoon and will be back in a few days."
She was left speechless with shock.
Song Bojian then left, followed by a group of people with shocked expressions.
After they were gone, Di Xiqun and Yu Nan stared at Qi Mei for a long time. "What's going on?"
She immediately explained, "We… It's not that kind of relationship." But what Song Bojian had just said captured everyone's imagination. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say. Not only did he mention his coat, but he also told her he was going on a business trip in the afternoon. It was no different from reporting his schedule to her.
"So what's your relationship?" Di Xiqun wasn't usually such a gossipy person, but he was really curious now.
Qi Mei didn't know what to say. If she really had something going on with Song Bojian, she wouldn't find it so hard to say. But since they were not a couple, no matter what she said, it would seem like she was trying to cover it up.
She could only explain truthfully under their gaze, "We are just classmates."
"Impossible! Song Bojian isn't a university alum!" Di Xiqun and Qi Mei were genuine schoolmates, and they were in the same class.
Yu Nan also nodded.
"We were high school classmates," she said patiently.
"Wow, you hid it quite well," Di Xiqun marveled.
"We haven't contacted each other since we graduated from high school until recently his grandmother moved to our neighborhood."
"This is fate." Di Xiqun shook his head in wonder.
Yu Nan said, "You have to make good use of such a contact. This is not the end of Song Bojian's career."
"We're just ordinary classmates…" Qi Mei said gloomily.
…
Because Song Bojian went on a business trip these few days, Qi Mei also stopped thinking about him during this period. Of course, it was also because she was busy and had to work late every day.
That day, she worked until midnight again. On her way back home, when she passed by the Song family's house, she subconsciously looked up and found that the house, which was usually dark at this time, was actually lit up.
Song Bojian was back? After all, his grandparents would not stay up until this hour. However, just as this thought flashed through her mind, she heard someone shouting "help" from inside.
She stopped and listened carefully. The voice was weak and unclear.
"Grandma Xiao?" She didn't care about much and immediately knocked on the iron gate.
After a while, the door opened and a figure stumbled over. "Help! Help!"
"Grandpa Song?" Qi Mei recognized the old man and asked, "What's wrong?"
Grandpa Song's voice was particularly flustered. "My wife said that her chest hurt and she fainted. I couldn't wake her up no matter how hard I tried…"
As soon as Grandpa Song opened the iron gate, Qi Mei ran straight to the second floor. When she rushed to the bedroom, she saw Grandma Xiao lying on the bed with a pale face. "Grandma Xiao?"
Qi Mei did not dare to delay. She immediately took out her phone and called for emergency service.
"What should we do?" Grandpa Song held Grandma Xiao's hand and was so panicked that he was about to cry.
After Qi Mei hung up the phone, she comforted him in a low voice, "Grandpa, the ambulance will be here soon. Don't worry. It'll be fine."
But in fact, she was also very scared. She had never learned first aid, so she did not dare to move Grandma Xiao at all and could only let her lie on the bed first. She didn't know how much time had passed. It might have been five minutes or ten minutes, but it felt like ages before the ambulance finally arrived.
"Who wants to go with us?" the ambulance crew asked.
Grandpa Song hurried over, but he looked at Qi Mei in a way as if he was asking for her help.
After all, he was an old man in panic. Qi Mei blurted, "Can we go together?"
"Alright then," the ambulance crew said.
When they arrived at the hospital, Grandma Xiao was sent to the emergency room. Qi Mei waited outside with Grandpa Song.
Looking at the door of the emergency room, she suddenly asked, "Grandpa, is Song Bojian back?"
