Chapter 280 A Long Chat All Night

Chapter 280 A Long Talk All Night

After Lin Ling followed Chen Jia back to the hotel room, Chen Jia asked a hotel staff member for a glass of honey water for her. She wasn't drunk to the point of being unconscious; she had just slept for a while in the banquet hall and had drunk the honey water, so she was actually a little more sober now.

I was still feeling very dizzy, so after drinking some honey water, I lay down on the sofa and didn't want to move at all.

Seeing Lingling's dazed expression, Chen Jia, who was about to take a shower, was still a little worried. "Lingling, are you alright? Why don't you go lie down on the bed?"

Lin Ling paused for two seconds and shook her head. "I'm fine. You go take a shower. I'll take a shower later too."

Seeing that she was conscious, Chen Jia took her pajamas and went to the bathroom.

Lin Ling leaned back on the sofa, frowning. Drinking too much alcohol really made her feel unwell.

Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Lin Ling wanted to take out her phone to check it, but she couldn't find it anywhere after searching for a long time. She shouted "Chen Jia!" twice, but the sound of the water drowned out her voice, and no one answered her.

She stood up from the sofa to get her bag, thinking it might be in the bag.

I felt dizzy as soon as I stood up, so I slumped back down. I thought to myself, oh well, I'm too lazy to look for my phone, I'll just lie down and rest a bit more.

Qin Yiche, Lin Ling, and Chen Jia just took the elevator upstairs together. Their rooms were on the same floor, separated by two rooms.

When they first parted, Qin Yiche asked Lin Ling with some concern if she was alright.

Lin Ling waved her hand dismissively and replied, "No problem," before entering the room and slamming the door shut.

Qin Yiche also returned to his room.

After taking a shower, he decided to send Lin Ling a WeChat message to ask her about it.

So, he sent a message, "Are you asleep?" and then lay in bed waiting for Lin Ling's reply.

Ten minutes passed, and there was still no message from the other party.

Twenty minutes passed, and still no news came.

Qin Yiche's patience seemed to be running out, so he called Lin Ling directly, but no one answered the phone until he hung up.

He was furious, but he was also worried that something bad might happen.

After all, both girls had been drinking; what if they fell...?

Still feeling uneasy, Qin Yiche rushed to Lin Ling's room and rang the doorbell.

When he arrived, Chen Jia was drying her hair in the bathroom and didn't notice the doorbell. Lin Ling did hear the doorbell, but she was leaning against the sofa, feeling dizzy, and didn't want to get up to see who was ringing it.

She even found it a bit noisy and covered her ears.

Qin Yiche pressed the door button and stood there waiting for a while, but no one came to open the door. Finally, he stormed back to his room.

Chen Jia came out after drying her hair and asked, "Did someone ring the doorbell just now? I think I heard it?"

Lin Ling nodded, replying blankly, "It seems so, I heard it too..."

"Did you open the door? Who is it?" Chen Jia tied her dried hair into a bun with a hair tie, walked to the sofa, pulled Lin Ling to sit down with her, and followed Lin Ling's example by tilting her head back and lying on the sofa.

"No, open it! Who cares who it is? It's too dangerous to open the door so late at night." Lin Ling made an excuse for her laziness.

"The security measures of a five-star hotel should be pretty good, right?" Chen Jia said with a smile, not dwelling on who rang the doorbell just now.

Anyway, I'll call or come again if anything comes up.

She's taking a flight back to her hometown tomorrow afternoon. Her company notified her to attend onboarding training a week early, so she doesn't have time to stay in Jiangcheng any longer and has to rush back.

After this trip back, I don't know when I'll be able to come back to Jiangcheng again.

Chen Jia felt quite reluctant to part ways, just like when she had a farewell dinner with her classmates before, several girls cried.

Four years of friendship as classmates, and it's time to part ways so soon.

People always say that with advanced transportation and convenient communication, meeting up or having a get-together is just a matter of a train ticket or a video call.

However, only those who have graduated and entered the workforce know that after starting work, they have too many things beyond their control, and it is too difficult to replicate those times when they could get together and talk all night.

Chen Jia didn't really want to sleep tonight, and was reluctant to go to sleep, so she pulled Lin Ling aside to chat, "Do you want to go take a shower?"

"Yes, but I feel so dizzy, let me rest a bit longer~" Lin Ling replied, rubbing her forehead, still lying lazily on the sofa without moving.

"Lin Ling, do you like Qin Yiche?" Chen Jia suddenly asked gossipily.

Lin Ling was so startled that she sobered up instantly.

"W-why did you suddenly ask that?" she stammered, sitting up slightly, looking a little nervous.

Actually, Chen Jia was just asking casually. After all, Shen Nian is married, and she was a little curious whether they would find suitable people to marry in the future. It seems quite difficult.

"I was just thinking about whether you two might actually start a relationship. If that happened, you and Niannian would go from sisters to sisters-in-law, wouldn't that be great?" Chen Jia said with a smile.

Lin Ling shook her head in fright, "I know my own limitations."

Chen Jia smiled again, knowing that Lin Ling, who usually seemed carefree, was actually a thoughtful person at heart. She didn't mention Qin Yiche again, but asked curiously, "Lingling, do you want to be in a relationship?"

"It's not a matter of whether I want to or not, I can't date alone," Lin Ling replied, then realized something was off, looked at Chen Jia, and said definitively, "Do you have a boyfriend?!"

Chen Jia immediately put on a shy and embarrassed expression, "Not yet..."

Lin Ling became interested and grabbed Chen Jia's arm, shaking it. "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Do you have any photos? Show me the photos first, and I'll give you my first impression."

Chen Jia took out her phone and searched for a while before finding a group photo of many people, which seemed to be taken in a classroom.

Lin Ling took her phone. "Let me guess, who's making Jiajia's heart flutter?"

Lin Ling glanced over and pointed to a boy who was one person away from Chen Jia, "It must be this one."

Chen Jia leaned closer to take a look and was stunned. "How did you know?"

Lin Ling raised her chin proudly, "It's not hard to guess, is it? None of the others are as good-looking as this one, he's handsome."

"When did you get together?" Lin Ling asked again.

"Not yet~" Chen Jia replied with her head down.

"We met in a training course together. He took good care of me, and we often did exercises together. We got to know each other better over time. His house is also quite close to mine, so we would always walk home together after class, and then..."

"Sometimes we'd call each other or chat on WeChat at night, and... it got a bit ambiguous..."

"I don't know what he was thinking..."

Chen Jia told Lin Ling about her situation with that boy.

Lin Ling understood; her best friend was smitten. She just didn't know if the guy was in the same boat, or if he was just playing games.

"Just confess your feelings directly. Even if you get rejected, you'll be sad for a while. It just means he's not your Mr. Right. Playing games won't work; you'll only get more and more involved, and if he doesn't reciprocate, you'll be even more heartbroken. Trust me, just confess directly and see what he says." Lin Ling advised Chen Jia like a relationship expert.

Chen Jia couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You've never even been in a relationship, how do you know so much?"

"Your sister is a top-notch theoretical player, so listen to me."

Chen Jia also felt that it was inappropriate to keep things ambiguous like this. With Lin Ling's encouragement, she decided to ask the boy out when she got back this time.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. We'll go back and take action right away, or we'll be too old to do anything."

"Come on, I'll wait for your good news."

"You should try your best too. Aren't you going to consider Qin Yiche?"

"No, I'm not worthy of your status."
