Remarks about the translation
It might not be connected. I'm not sure. My friend (who wants the transation) gave it to me like this.

Target language: English

A: What time tomorrow?
B: Tomorrow we'll do some review together. So shall we study after we finish dining? Good night.

A: Have you bought the ticket yet?
B: Why? I've just bought it!
A: What should I do? I may not be able to go.
B: But why? Is it because you don't want to go with me? I want to cry...
A: In fact, I want to go, but I have mixed feelings about this.
B: But there's nothing we can do since I've already bought the ticket.
A: Can't you get a refund?
B: I don't know. I'll talk to you when you come back.
A: Talk to you later when I'm back at my dorm room.
B: Fine then.
A: Where are you now?
B: In my room.
A: Ah, I'm out. Where did you buy that ticket?
Remarks about the translation
1. chi wanfan - what would be better? "finished dining" or "have dinner/supper"?

2. Ni huai lai zai shou ba...?
I can't read this. Is it "ni hui lai zai shuo ba"?

Hi cacue,
I've made a few adjustments, but I wonder if that "outside" shouldn't be simply "out" and perhaps "at my residence" could be changed into "home".

What do you think?

"Out" does sound more casual.

"Sushe" means "dormitry", so perhaps it's better to use "dorm" instead?

Yes I think it would be better here to write "after supper."
"Dining" could be lunch too, and it also has a high-class image: "after we finish dining" seems to be at a fancy restaurant or something, a nuance that isn't in the original "chi wanfan"?

also,
Ni huai lai zai shou ba
should be changed to
Ni hui lai zai shuo ba
in the original, as Cacue says
