Chapter 53: Blossom Rain In The Sky (1)

　　"The semi-finals will be held at the end of this month in B City. Let’s go together, we can play around there for a few days while we’re at it." Shen Jingchen suddenly said while driving back home.

　　"B City's too far. I’m not going."

　　"Hey hey hey, don't you have any familial love?! How's about I pay for all the expenses to B City?" Shen Jingchen cried out.

　　Shen Jingbin had a look of consideration upon her face, "I'll consider it."

　　Shen Jingchen instantly wore a face full of smiles and said, "Then why don't you give Zhao Chengning a call. Isn’t he in B City? Let him entertain us for a while."

　　"So this was why you wanted me to come along." Shen Jingbin glared at him.

　　"Why’d you say that? Can’t you be more lady-like when you speak? Plus, it looks like Gramps and co intend to play matchmaker for the two of you. Aren’t I giving you guys an opportunity to interact by doing this?"

　　"…" Why are so many people obsessed with playing matchmaker these days? Even the NPCs in the game were the same.

　　Could spring have finally come for her after twenty-odd years?

　　Once they reached home, and no longer able bear Shen Jingchen's pestering as if he was begging for his life, Shen Jingbin mustered up her courage and gave Zhao Chengning a call.

　　This would be their first time conversing since Zhao Chengning had returned home. Truth be told, she was a little nervous.

　　She didn't know why though.

　　What would she do if he'd forgotten her?

　　Calling someone out of the blue like this; what would she do if he was busy with something?

　　Would she feel embarra.s.sed if she were rejected?

　　Countless doubts and conjectures swam about in Shen Jingbin’s mind. Then, when she couldn't stand it any longer and was about to hang up, the call connected.

　　"h.e.l.lo, this is Zhao Chengning."

　　Zhao Chengning’s voice on the phone sounded a little different from his normal voice. His tone sounded colder, seemingly possessing a kind of indescribable allure. He was a typical northerner, and his enunciation was especially distinct over the phone. When she heard his voice it felt as if something was scratching at her heart.
