New Year's Day?
Li Shi's eyes widened slightly.
But he didn't panic at all, responding directly in a message: "Your brother-in-law and family will also be in Zhaoyang for New Year's."
The word "their" was chosen deliberately, and smart as Wu Yuan was, she understood instantly.
After the message was sent, Li Shi walked along while keeping an eye on the situation under the bridge tunnel ahead. After taking a dozen steps more, he was sure there was a man inside—and that man was his high school classmate, Sun Shou Wen.
The WeChat notification sounded again.
Wu Yuan: "(Pitiful) I see, then I'll wait until after New Year's to see when you have time, Teacher Li."
Li Shi, while walking forward, replied: "(Hug) (Hug)"
Wu Yuan: "It's okay, I can stay busy with work. The catering industry thrives during this holiday season, and in Shanghai City, our first store is set to open at the end of January. Renovations, training staff, there are loads of things to do."
