Chapter 163: Senior Student Ziyi, Don’t Sleep, I Want to Hear a Story
Lu Ziyi had previously said that he had other work to rush, and Tang Hong agreed to only chat for half an hour.
Half an hour passed, and Lu Ziyi took his leave. Tang Hong did not insist on him staying.
Tang Hong also left the office together to see Lu Ziyi off.
Tang Hong had a driver to pick him up. He got out of the elevator on the first floor, while Lu Ziyi, Ye Chuxiao, Lin Chusheng, and Tang Jie’er went to the underground parking lot to get their cars.
Lin Chusheng had been entering and exiting the Tang Group frequently recently. His car was parked in the employee area, while Lu Ziyi’s car was parked in the guest area.
After getting out of the elevator, Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao said goodbye to Lin Chusheng and Tang Jie’er and went their separate ways.
“Senior Student Ziyi, I still want to hear stories about the ten castles,” Ye Chuxiao said, looking at Lu Ziyi with a smile, her face full of curiosity like a little cat.
Lu Ziyi gently agreed, “Okay, I can tell Xiaoxiao anytime.”
“Why don’t we stay up tonight? Senior Student Ziyi, tell me a story!”
Ye Chuxiao was lively, and her tone was high.
Lin Chusheng and Tang Jie’er both turned their heads because of Ye Chuxiao’s words, looking at Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao walking side by side.
What did she mean by “we stay up tonight and tell stories”? That statement was very ambiguous! Did they sleep together on other nights?
However, for Ye Chuxiao and Lu Ziyi, it was very normal. They had stayed up late before, sitting on the green tile rooftop watching the night view and telling stories.
Lin Chusheng and Tang Jie’er continued to walk forward, but they unconsciously kept glancing in the direction of Ye Chuxiao and Lu Ziyi until they turned a corner and could no longer see them.
The car slowly drove up to the exit of the underground parking lot and then turned onto the main road. Lu Ziyi asked, “Xiaoxiao, where do you want to go to hear my story?”
Ye Chuxiao looked at Lu Ziyi with a pained expression, as if she had to make a difficult sacrifice.
“Let’s wait until Senior Student Ziyi is less busy before you tell me stories. Senior Student Ziyi is working too hard.”
As a little assistant, Ye Chuxiao was aware of Lu Ziyi’s workload and couldn’t delay Senior Student Ziyi’s rest.
“Alright,” Lu Ziyi did not insist. If Xiaoxiao wanted to hear his stories, and he hadn’t finished them, she would still be by his side.

The next afternoon, after class, Lu Ziyi called Ye Chuxiao. Since they were both going to the Tang Group for a lecture, Lu Ziyi suggested having dinner at a coffee shop near the Tang Group.
At Wu Yu’er Western Restaurant, in a booth by the window, Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao sat opposite each other. After ordering, Lu Ziyi took out his laptop and continued to work.
“Xiaoxiao,” Lu Ziyi said, “there’s a stack of files in my laptop bag. Handa Company delivered them this afternoon, and I messed them up when I was in a hurry to leave. Could you help me sort them by page number?”
“Okay,” Ye Chuxiao replied. She moved to Lu Ziyi’s side, took out the files, which were about thirty to forty A4 sheets of paper, and sorted them neatly and carefully.
“Xiaoxiao, Ziyi.”
Just as Ye Chuxiao and Lu Ziyi were each working, someone called out from nearby.
Ye Chuxiao and Lu Ziyi turned their heads and saw Lin Chusheng, who had greeted them. Tang Jie’er was holding Lin Chusheng’s arm, standing beside him.
“You’re also here for dinner,” Tang Jie’er said with an elegant smile.
At this moment, the steaks and dishes that Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao had ordered were served. Along with Lu Ziyi’s laptop and files, the table was full.
Lin Chusheng had wanted to sit with Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao, but it wasn’t convenient. He just said, “We’ll go to Tang’s together later.”
“Okay,” Lu Ziyi nodded.
