Chapter 38: Chapter 38: The Mind Not Working Well
Chen Kai: “…”
Lu Jingyan was sowhat persistent.
Sheng Xian’s phrase “the you I knew before” tickled her curiosity like a feather brushing her heart.
She knew he had known her before, otherwise how could he possibly make her birthday the password for his mobile hotspot, but at that ti she thought he had found out about her through Chen Kai and then secretly harbored a crush on her.
Now, however, it seed not to be the case.
He must have known her a long ti ago.
Lu Jingyan seriously thought about her childhood, she neither had the experience of being lost and adopted by soone for a month, nor the dramatic circumstance where she heroically saved soone being chased by an assassin.
Could Sheng Xian be deceiving her?
Lu Jingyan recalled Sheng Xian’s expression at the ti.
It didn’t seem like a lie.
Just as she had thought at ho before, if soone like Sheng Xian really appeared by her side, it was impossible for her to have no recollection of it.
Unless…
Lu Jingyan, completely disbelieving, paused as if petrified for a few seconds and looked up at Chen Kai, “Are you sure your cousin is human?”
Chen Kai: “?”
Lu Jingyan: “Could your cousin be so kind of alien? Or could your cousin be a ghost or specter, or perhaps an emissary from hell?”
Chen Kai: “…”
Perhaps he was referring to her previous life.
Although this guess was a bit bold, in this vast and strange world, it might actually be true.
“Or possibly a vampire…” Unable to think of any other possibilities, Lu Jingyan simply sumd it up, “In short, the kind of species that has lived for thousands of years.”
“…”
Chen Kai stared at Lu Jingyan, speechless for about ten seconds, reached out to touch her forehead to make sure she wasn’t feverish, and said seriously, “I think you’re right, but I think my cousin is a god.”
Lu Jingyan blinked.
Chen Kai, as if teasing, opened and closed his mouth a few tis before finally spitting out two words, “Male, god.”
“…”
Looking at Lu Jingyan, who was at a loss for words, Chen Kai drank half a cup of alcohol, “Aliens? Ghosts? Emissaries from hell? Vampires? Why don’t you say my cousin is Nuwa, who created humans, Pangu, who separated heaven and earth, or Hou Yi, who shot down the suns? Miss, you should watch fewer Korean dramas. Look at how they’re ssing with your head at such a young age.”
Lu Jingyan, who was lost in her own wild thoughts at that ti, didn’t realize how foolish her words had sounded until Chen Kai ntioned it, and now she suddenly felt kind of hysterical.
She stared blankly at Chen Kai, who was relentlessly teasing her, for a few seconds, “Don’t you feel cold?”
“Ah?” Chen Kai looked up at the central air conditioning above his head, “Not cold at all, I’ve had so alcohol, even feel a bit hot.”
Lu Jingyan said, “I feel a bit cold, chilled by my own bad jokes.”
Chen Kai: “…”
Lu Jingyan finished the drink in her glass, picked up her coat beside her, “I’m leaving.”
Chen Kai: “So soon?”
“Yes.” Lu Jingyan put on her coat, “Don’t want to drink with soone who can’t even understand a cold joke.”
Chen Kai: “…”
Lu Jingyan: “Makes
look like the one who’s slow on the uptake.”
Chen Kai: “…”
About fifteen minutes after Lu Jingyan left, the person Chen Kai had arranged to et arrived.
He was bored waiting, so he started a ga of Honor of Kings, but as soon as the waiter brought Sheng Xian over, Chen Kai imdiately put down his phone and let his account idle in the fountain.
They talked about the divorce of Chen Kai’s little online friend’s parents.
After chatting for about an hour, they were almost finished.
Only then did Chen Kai belatedly realize, “Wow, Yan Bao was here earlier, I forgot to tell her I had arranged to et you.”
Sheng Xian’s fingers, which were pressing on his phone, stopped.
Chen Kai: “If I had told her, she probably wouldn’t have left so early.”
Without a word, Sheng Xian finished texting at a leisurely pace, then set down his phone and slightly lifted his eyelids, “Are you very close with her?”
“Of course, why even ask.” Chen Kai, as if swearing an oath, nearly made a promise on the spot, “Lu Jingyan’s best friend is definitely , Chen Kai!”
After a mont of thought, Sheng Xian asked, “Did sothing happen to her during her school days?”
Chen Kai: “Why do you ask?”
“Just asking.” Sheng Xian’s tone was very casual, “Heard it from her old classmates.”
“How do you know Yan Bao’s old classmates?”
Sheng Xian was a bit annoyed by Chen Kai’s questioning, kept silent for three seconds, then patiently said, “The one she fought with yesterday.”
Chen Kai suddenly understood, “So they were classmates, huh. But I don’t know much about Yan Bao’s school days; I was taken abroad when I was very young, and when I ca back, it was directly for college entrance exams. I’m more familiar with what happened after Yan Bao’s college, everything seed pretty normal, not much different from now.”
Chen Kai paused, then asked, “What about it? Did that classmate tell you sothing? Did sothing happen during Yan Bao’s school days?”
“…”
Looking at Chen Kai’s inquisitive expression, Sheng Xian picked up his clothes, ready to leave.
So that counted as her best friend?
“Hey, don’t leave, bro. Finish what you were saying, what’s the deal? Tell , eh.”
Chen Kai was bothering Sheng Xian to the point of annoyance, Sheng Xian gave him a slow glance, “Aren’t you very close with her?”
PS: Christmas has passed, so rry Christmas. I went out to celebrate last night haha, hence the late update.

Look at how they’re ssing with your head at such a young age (This sentence is ant for Lu Jingyan only, not for everyone).
