The Advocate Behind-The-Scenes: Yang Rong
What the hell!
What a reason.
Chu Tian laughed the moment he heard what Li Sisi said.
She liked cats and dogs but because she was too lazy to take care of them, she decided to have a fake pet instead. Such a reason could not be surpassed.
âTake a rest on the couch.â Li Sisi said, âThis apartment is perfect other than the fact that itâs hot during summer. Itâs too exposed to the sun from morning till night, not missing a single ray of sunshine. The apartment becomes really hot after a whole day under the sun.â
Chu Tian nodded.
He felt it the moment he stepped indoors that the temperature inside was obviously higher than the temperature outside.
âItâs better to keep the windows opened.â Chu Tian followed Li Sisi back into the living room as he said, âIf you keep the windows opened when you go out, you can maintain the air ventilation in the apartment so that it wonât be this hot when you return.â
âNo can do, there will be a lot of dust.â Li Sisi said as she was opening the windows, âThe apartment will be filled with dust by the time I come back.â
âThereâs dust even on the 17th floor?â
âYeah.â Li Sisi sat herself down right beside Chu Tian, lifted her hair and said, âI guarantee you that Iâll have a fingertip covered in dust if Iâm to touch the window ledge after a day of keeping the windows opened. Iâd rather endure the heat. Besides, Iâll be turning on the air conditioner anyway so itâll cool down quickly.â
âOh right, whenâs your big darling coming to look for you?â
âAt about six oâclock.â Chu Tian took out his phone and said, âHer activity with the yoga clubâ¦â
Chu Tian stopped before he finished his sentence.
Li Sisi looked over and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âIâm not eating dinner with her anymore.â Chu Tian let out a laugh as he looked at his phone, âI just got a message from her saying that sheâll be eating out with her friends for dinner and going to the dormitory to play cards afterwards.â
âHn, good timing then.â Li Sisi said, âLet her play, Iâll make dinner for you. I happen to have lamb steak at home, we can eat it together tonight. Iâll make lamb with vinegar and mutton soup noodles.â
âThatâs good then.â Chu Tian smiled, âI definitely need to stay and try Sister Sisiâs cooking.â
Just as he was saying that Chu Tian replied to Bai Xiaochunâs message and left the phone on the side afterwards.
âOh, right, Young Master.â Li Sisi took a sip of water and said, âWhat stage have you and your darling progressed?â
Chu Tian chuckled and replied, âWe slept in the same room last night.â
âOh my!â Li Sisi smiled in response, âHow blessed! You guys are progressing so quickly, much quicker than Iâve expected. It didnât take you long before you got her.â
âNot yet.â Chu Tian shook his head, âWe only slept on the same bed together.â
âHuh?â Li Sisi said innocently, âY-you guys didnât do it even when yâall slept on the same bed?â
âShe was scared.â Chu Tian said.
âScared?â Li Sisi was surprised.
She then laughed out loud and continued, âThis big darling, sheâs making me want to cherish her more. Sheâs so pure that itâs cute. She actually became scared! Then, nothing happened between both of you after that?â
âOf course not.â Chu Tian grinned mischievously followed by a dry cough. He picked up his bottle and drank two gulps of water.
Seeing that, Li Sisi understood and began to laugh, âOur big darling is too cute, youâre being such a devil too.â
âOh, right.â Li Sisi recalled something and continued, âHow about your tablemate?â
âOh, my tablemate went to find his boyfriend. She took the overnight train last night.â
Li Sisi nodded and said, âYour tablemate is definitely a good tablemate. Judging from the situation, sheâs probably moving back to the dormitory soon.â
âHuh?â Chu Tian was stunned for a second before he continued, âMove back to the dormitory?â
âYeah.â Li Sisi took a mouthful of water and said, âHavenât you noticed? Your tablemate has been acting as the cupid between you and your darling, she really is a good tablemate. She sincerely wants to get you and your darling together so she probably doesnât really want to live at yours. The only reason why sheâs doing that is to lure your darling there. If she doesnât take the initiative at first, your darling would definitely not go and live with you that easily.â
âNow that your relationship with your darling is already intimate and youâre only left with the last step, so her mission is basically accomplished. Which is why sheâs going to leave soon, or sheâll end up disturbing your time with your darling.â
âErâ¦â Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, âSister Sisi, so youâre trying to tell me that my tablemate wasnât trying to freeload and enjoy my air conditioner?â
âOf course not.â Li Sisi laughed, âIâm sure she was just there to bring your darling to your so that the both of you can spend more time together and get closer with each other quicker.â
âMy guess is, your tablemate probably thinks that youâre not too bad of a person and that youâre quite suitable for your darling, thatâs why she was so eager to play cupid for the both of you. Sheâs afraid that your darling will be taken by others the long it was dragged out. From my perspective, sheâs actually playing the role of an advocate behind the scenes.â
âAn advocate behind the scenes?â Chu Tian nodded his head gradually and smiled, âIf thatâs the case, my tablemate sure is nice to me.â
âSheâs indeed a good tablemate.â Li Sisi said, âI already felt that when you told me about all the things that have happened. Besides, think about it for a second, if she didnât do all those things, do you think youâd get together with your darling so quickly? So you better remember your tablemate whenever you have something good to share. Your tablemate is definitely someone worth being friends with.â
âThatâs for sure.â Chu Tian replied, âIâve always thought my tablemate is a pretty good person, so Iâll definitely take her into consideration whenever I have something good to share.â
