Chapter 469: Flip the garbage bin

After replying to Li Mengjie’s message, Leng Xuan sent another one to Zhao Xiaoqing, "I’ve got something last minute tonight and can’t make it."

Zhao Xiaoqing’s reply came quickly, "Okay, dear, when will you come over then?"

After thinking it over, Leng Xuan considered that running a leisure center was no trivial matter. Since he was committed to doing it, he ought to take it seriously, so he replied, "Let’s see. If there’s nothing else tomorrow, I might just take the day off and come over."

"..."

After school, Xu Renjie sent his two lackeys home first, then scurried over to Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie. Before he could speak, he heard Li Mengjie saying, "Xue Jiu, did I give you the movie tickets?" As she spoke, she stealthily shot Ling Xuejiu a look.

Ling Xuejiu looked puzzled, "No, weren’t they always with you?"

"I can’t find them." Li Mengjie opened her bag and searched for a while before saying, "They are gone, weird. I didn’t accidentally throw them out with the trash, did I?"

Xu Renjie broke into a sweat. Was this girl that reckless? She actually tossed the movie tickets like trash? So, he asked, "Threw them out with the trash? Where?"

"Um...!" Li Mengjie said with an innocent look, "I probably threw them in the trash can. How about I go look for them?"

Xu Renjie was incredibly annoyed, but he felt bad asking a girl to dig through the trash, so he said, "Never mind, I will look for them. Which trash can is it? That one?" he said, pointing to a trash can in the corner of the classroom.

"It seems... probably," Li Mengjie said uncertainly.

Xu Renjie said, "I’ll have a look then." As he spoke, he started sifting through it. Shortly, his finger touched something sticky. Looking closer, it was a lump of thick, yellowish phlegm, and he almost passed out from disgust. However, for the sake of a fragrant kiss during the movie that night, he had to grit his teeth and keep searching.

After Xu Renjie had dumped everything out of the trash can and still didn’t find the tickets, he was so frustrated he felt like cursing. Standing up, he looked at Li Mengjie and said, "They aren’t in here. Think again, did you lose them somewhere else?"

"Um...! Let me think!" Li Mengjie rubbed her chin with a finger, as if deep in thought, and after a moment suddenly said, "I remember now, they must have been thrown in the trash can in the girls’ bathroom."

Xu Renjie paused for a moment and asked, "The girls’ bathroom?"

"Yeah!" Li Mengjie said with an embarrassed smile, "Xu Renjie, maybe we should just give up on looking for them?"

Xu Renjie was dying inside. He had finally gotten Ling Xuejiu to agree to a movie date, how could he just let it go? He thought it over. The girls’ bathroom? It was already after school, and there should be nobody there. If he could get close to Ling Xuejiu, what was this little sacrifice? So he said, "How about this, you two go ahead, and I’ll call you when I find them. There’s still plenty of time before the movie starts at eight!"

"That works!" Li Mengjie giggled and said, "Then you take your time searching, Xue Jiu and I will head out first." With that, she grabbed Ling Xuejiu and turned to leave...

Leng Xuan had already received a message from Li Mengjie asking him to wait for them in the car, and he had been waiting for over ten minutes and still hadn’t seen her and Ling Xue come over. He was somewhat puzzled and was about to call and ask when he saw the two girls appearing in the rearview mirror, full of smiles. He couldn’t help but smile wryly and put down his phone.
