"Are you out of your mind or sothing? Calling again and again early in the morning, what’s your problem?"
The voice on the other end was full of energy.
Still carrying a heavy nasal tone from not being fully awake.
Lue Xizhou instinctively glanced up at the noon sun, then moved his phone away to rub his ear, and finally spoke unhurriedly, "Sister, your temper lately... it’s a bit fiery!"
???
Qin Chu instantly woke up.
Frantically ran her fingers through her hair, and now wide awake, Qin Chu spoke calmly like she had given up, "Do you need sothing?"
"Of course, I need sothing!"
Lue Xizhou laughed, "It’s noon, having a al is important, right? We can’t always have this secret night-ti relationship, can we? In broad daylight, let’s go eat! I’m starving here!"
Was about to say, I never agreed to eat with you, if you’re hungry, go eat then!
Also wanted to say, stop being slick with , I can’t stand n like you with a silver tongue.
But the words changed on her lips, "Sure, where shall we et?"
!!!
It seed like Lue Xizhou didn’t expect Qin Chu to agree so quickly, his voice sounded a few degrees brighter, "The Mountains and Water Private Kitchen, you know the place? I’ll send you the address!"
After hanging up, Qin Chu sat on the bed dazed for a bit before getting up and heading to the bathroom.
Shower.
Change clothes.
Makeup.
Then she headed out, driving straight to the west side of the city.
More than half an hour later, she opened the door and went in.
In the daylight, Lue Xizhou looked quite presentable.
Light gray shirt.
Suit pants.
Eyes that smiled before speaking, definitely foxy eyes.
Seeing her arrive, Lue Xizhou smiled with his brows and eyes, "Sister, you’re quite hard to pin down!"
Qin Chu sat down directly, "Order the food, I’m hungry!"
As if anticipating she would say that, Lue Xizhou snapped his fingers.
The private room door opened, and the waiters filed in in succession.
In no ti, the table was filled.
"You’re hungry, I’m hungry too, so... let’s eat!"
Lue Xizhou tilted his chin, "Not enough sleep and not eating well make you cranky, understandable. Eat up, we’ll talk when you’re full."
Although she didn’t know what he wanted to say to her.
Still, filling the stomach is more important than anything.
Qin Chu directly picked up chopsticks and started eating.
Though they had only eaten together twice, it seed Lue Xizhou knew her preferences.
All the dishes he ordered were her favorites.
With a full stomach, her temper cooled down a lot.
Qin Chu held the bowl of sweet and sour plum soup and finished it in small sips, then looked up at Lue Xizhou, "Let’s not beat around the bush—you’re trying to chase , right?"
"No."
Lue Xizhou shook his head.
Qin Chu was startled.
She saw the man sigh and, staring at her with a troubled look, said, "It’s not about wanting to chase you; it’s that I’m already chasing you. Wasn’t I being obvious? You just noticed?"
"..."
Qin Chu looked at Lue Xizhou speechlessly, "What do you like about ?"
Today, Qin Chu seed different.
Her face was colder than before.
Her temper, worse than before.
Although she asked "What do you like about ?" to Lue Xizhou, it sounded full of hostility to him.
"You really want to know?"
Lue Xizhou stood up, "Co on, I’ll tell you sowhere else!"
Qin Chu was stunned.
Her wrist was grabbed by the man and he dragged her out of the private room.
Stuffed her into the passenger seat.
The car roared out of the parking lot.
Ten minutes later, they stopped at a place that looked like an industrial park.
Up to the second floor, a series of thuds sounded.
Through the bright glass windows, they could see the coach teaching students to punch.
Bam!
Bam bam!
The students, sweaty and with nacing expressions, punched as if trying to defeat an imaginary enemy.
But the sandbag only swayed slightly before stopping.
Qin Chu turned to leave.
But Lue Xizhou blocked her, coaxing and persuading her into the changing room.
When she ca out again, Qin Chu was stunned.
Lue Xizhou had also changed clothes.
With the stance of soone ready to box with her.
"Just pretend I’m the one whose head you want to smash in with a punch..."
Pulling Qin Chu onto the boxing ring, Lue Xizhou provocatively tilted his chin, "Co on!"
Eyes full of ridicule.
Sneering lips.
A face asking for a punch.
At that mont, Qin Chu saw Qin Yuchen.
Bam!
A punch landed hard on the board he raised.
Lue Xizhou tilted his head back, "Again!"
Bam!
"Again!"
Bam bam!
Qin Chu had practiced boxing.
She had also sparred with a coach in the gym.
But she hadn’t done it for a long ti.
At first, she only threw punches, but later, her attacks beca haphazard kicks and punches.
She could hear her own rapid breathing and even more rapid heartbeat.
When she collapsed on the mat exhausted, Qin Chu had only one thought.
What she was in a previous life, she wasn’t sure.
But Lue Xizhou must have been a monkey!
"You ca to the Imperial City just to get a beating?"
"What, what a joke! I’m here for serious business, okay? Not everyone’s like you, sleeping until noon before getting up, you know?"
"Then why are you looking for ?"
"Isn’t looking for you reason enough even if there’s no reason? Besides..."
A big face appeared before her.
Across all their encounters, whether downcast or exuberant, Lue Xizhou’s handsoness never diminished, and now his face was as red as a cooked shrimp as he gasped, "You are my girlfriend and my debtor, isn’t it natural to look for you?"
???
"Who’s your girlfriend?" Did I agree?
"Who’s your debtor?" You wouldn’t take my WeChat transfer, won’t give your bank details, how am I a debtor?
Qin Chu’s eyes widened.
"Not bad... you’re finally coming alive!"
Lue Xizhou laughed with satisfaction and asked Qin Chu, "Do you know how you looked at noon?"
Qin Chu didn’t reply.
Lue Xizhou started to mimic her.
Furious, "Are you out of your mind?"
Despondent, "Order the food, I’m hungry."
Deliberately difficult, "What do you like about ?"
He mimicked her tone, even matching her expressions.
Successfully got Qin Chu to roll her eyes at him in annoyance, Lue Xizhou laughed triumphantly, "Qin Chu, has anyone ever told you, you’re so innocent?"
Qin Chu froze.
Yes.
Lizi.
The first ti going to the Ye Family, Ye Li held her hand while introducing her to Daddy Ye and Mommy Ye, "Dad, Mom, this is Qin Chu, my best buddy, an awfully innocent girl. Don’t you think she looks like our long-lost daughter?"
The first ti eting Wan Mingyi at the studio, Ye Li introduced, "Sister Mingyi, this is my buddy Chu Chu, a cool and dashing car racer, and super innocent. Though she seems aloof, she’s actually easy to get along with!"
She was six years older than Ye Li, but Ye Li always said she was the elder sister.
Now, Lue Xizhou was saying she was innocent.
Although she didn’t know what it ant, it didn’t sound like an insult.
"Let’s take that as a complint, thanks!"
Her breath evened out.
Her heartbeat also steadied.
Qin Chu sat up and looked at Lue Xizhou seriously, "You still haven’t answered , what do you like about ?"
The smile on Lue Xizhou’s face gradually faded.
Then his expression turned somber.
