"By the way, I gave Xiaobao’s number to Xiaoxuan today..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Jinyang interrupted, "Careless!"
"I’m careless?"
Lu Jinyang reached out and pinched her cheek, "You always say I’m not sharp, but I guess you’re even less sharp than I am."
"...Get to the point!"
"Once those two kids have the numbers, if they make a call, they’ll give themselves away. Or if soone suddenly reports their location..."
Lu Jinyang didn’t continue, but Xiao Qing understood what he ant and was imdiately filled with regret. She looked at him pitifully, "What should we do then?"
"There’s nothing we can do now. Wrap up your work at the company in the next few days, and we’ll go on a world tour."
Xiao Qing was speechless, "Isn’t that a bit excessive?"
"Nangong Xuan’s dad said that the kid grew up in a violent environnt, with limited contact, and only those who train him physically."
"So?" Xiao Qing didn’t understand.
"So, he doesn’t understand social skills, in his eyes, everything is straightforward."
Xiao Qing got it, "Isn’t that just like you, low emotional intelligence?"
Lu Jinyang: "..."
Forget talking, just do it...

Lu Xinyun, unusually, went to the supermarket after work, as the past few days had been too frustrating.
After bringing Nangong Xuan’s towel ho that night, she got up early the next morning, hung his towel on his door handle, and slipped away.
For the following days, Lu Xinyun deliberately avoided him; whenever he ca to the office, she would surely linger outside until he left before she returned.
The benefit was that their encounters wouldn’t be so awkward.
The downside was she lost her ride after work and had to take a cab promptly when she got off work.
After a few days of this, Lu Xinyun felt she couldn’t continue like this.
Tomorrow was the weekend. Her parents had suddenly gone traveling abroad a few days before, and her brother had moved to an apartnt near his school for important postgraduate exams. Even if she went ho, she would be alone, so she decided not to go back.
She bought groceries for the weekend, not much, just enough to eat for a couple of days.
When she returned to the dorm, as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw a figure at her dorm door. As she got closer, she realized it was Nangong Xuan, so she turned to leave.
However, with her weight, how could her footsteps be light?
At the mont she turned, a force pulled her back.
Before she could react, that familiar voice ca, "Lu Xinyun, how long do you plan on avoiding ?"
Lu Xinyun didn’t dare to look him in the eye, lowered her gaze, and stamred, "I... I’m not avoiding you."
"Not?" Nangong Xuan found Lu Xinyun to be a terrible liar. No, she lied quite easily but just wouldn’t admit what she did.
"Right, not." Lu Xinyun suddenly raised her eyes, "Didn’t you see I’ve been busy these days? So busy I didn’t even have ti to take you to auditions."
Nangong Xuan didn’t respond, instead, he brought up the other night, "About that towel you left at my door that night, don’t you think I deserve an explanation?"
Left?
Lu Xinyun frowned, "No, I hung it on your door handle." It must have fallen when he opened the door.
"Couldn’t you have knocked and returned it?"
