Chapter 644: Bodhisattva’s Blessing
On Friday, Jiang Yao left in a hurry and asked Wen Xuehui to apply for leave. She didn’t say how long she would take and didn’t return to the dormitory after that. She couldn’t even get through to her phone. Wen Xuehui had been worried sick for the past few days.
When she finally received Jiang Yao’s call, Wen Xuehui was discussing with Princ.i.p.al Wen whether to call the police.
“You still know how to call me? How many days has it been? I can’t get through to you. If you were kidnapped, your body would probably be dead by now!”
The moment she picked up Jiang Yao’s call, Wen Xuehui was so angry that she scolded her.
“Your pet is better than you. Tell me, why are you so good at running with your thin arms and legs?” Wen Xuehui said fiercely. “I should break your legs and let you run around!”
“I went to Rong County to be a volunteer. There was a power outage there, and there was no signal on my phone. I’m sorry to have worried you. If something like this happens again, I’ll tell you in advance so that you won’t worry.” Jiang Yao quickly explained where she had been the past few days.
“Volunteer?” Wen Xuehui was stunned. She really did not expect Jiang Yao to go to Rong County. She continued, “Then you know that the soldier was found and saved, right? The radio said that the soldier’s life was not in danger and that he was only slightly injured. Is that true?”
“It’s true, it’s true. The soldier is fine.” Jiang Yao knew that the girl in the dormitory must have been paying attention to this. Otherwise, Wen Xuehui would not have asked her.
Upon hearing Jiang Yao’s words, Wen Xuehui heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s really the blessing of Buddha!”
Jiang Yao pursed her lips. She was not Bodhisattva.
“When are you going back to school?”
“I don’t know. Let’s take a look. My husband is in Nanjiang City.” Jiang Yao glanced at Lu Xingzhi, who was driving.
Probably because he heard her mention the word ‘husband’, Lu Xingzhi turned to look at her with a smile in his eyes. He seemed very happy to hear her mention him to her roommate.
“Tell your roommates to treat them to dinner if they’re free tonight,” Lu Xingzhi said.
Jiang Yao conveyed Lu Xingzhi’s words to Wen Xuehui. Then, Wen Xuehui’s extremely excited voice came through the phone. “I’m free! I’m free! I’m free even if I skip the elective cla.s.s tonight! Then you should accompany your husband well. I’ll talk to Siyang and the others.”
Wen Xuehui hung up immediately.
Jiang Yao put away her phone and looked at Lu Xingzhi before asking, “Which hotel are you staying at tonight? Can Mimi stay with you first? I don’t know if I can raise Mimi in the hostel. If I can’t, I can only give her to someone else.”
Initially, Jiang Yao thought that it would be good to hand her over to Huang Cheng if she could not raise her.
However, after spending a day with Mimi, Jiang Yao felt a little reluctant.
This was probably a kind of fate between humans and animals. After getting along with each other, there would be an inexplicable bond.
Jiang Yao’s voice was very soft when she asked. When she spoke, her hand was still gently touching Mimi, who was sleeping on her knees. Even Lu Xingzhi could feel that she couldn’t bear to part with that kitten.
“Since you want to keep it, then keep it for yourself. It’s just a pet.” What she liked was not a kitten, but a tiger or a beast. As long as it did not hurt her, she could keep it.
“But sometimes, it’s not convenient to stay in the dormitory. There are people who come to investigate.” Jiang Yao sighed. Mimi was not as intelligent as Mo.
