"Do you think you can win her heart?"
"Hello?"
"Brother Meng, what shift are you on today? Are you off work now?"
"Just about to leave. It's rare for you to call me. What's up?"
Meng Shang answered the phone as he was getting ready to leave work. It was neither early nor late; afraid of delaying Jiang Ruoqi and her mother's dinner, he had already sent a message saying he would just grab a bowl of noodles at home. Lately, things had been lukewarm between him and Jiang Ruoqi, and returning home late to a lonely bed only added to his irritation. Since Su Yansheng was calling with an ulterior motive, Meng Shang's tone was less than friendly.
"...Heh heh, I know you're usually busy, Brother Meng. If it weren't something I couldn't solve on my own, I wouldn't bother you."
Su Yansheng chuckled awkwardly on the other end. "No joke, I really do have something only you can help with. I'm in Xinhai right now—got time to meet up and chat?"
Since going home meant being alone anyway, Meng Shang thought it over and agreed. "Alright, send me the address. I'll change and head over."
