Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Because she had no plans to start a romantic relationship.
However, what she didn’t know was that right after Lu Si had silently recited that sentence in his mind, he felt sothing strange. It was as if it was rely his wishful thinking, and deep down in his heart, there seed to be another opposing thought constantly clamoring.
Unfortunately, the mind-reading ability had a very short effective duration.
i Shu was destined not to know any of this.
As for Lu Si…
Due to i Shu’s words, his expression briefly displayed a mont of confusion. He then forced a bitter smile, lowered his head, half of his face shrouded in shadows, making it impossible to discern his true emotions. “We are just friends; you don’t need to overthink it.”
“I did indeed overthink it just now,” i Shu sincerely apologized. “1 won’t do it again in the future. You’ve been so good to , and I’ll treat you as my best friend.”
Do you even know I’ve been good to you?
Lu Si almost blurted out this question but managed to restrain himself. “Well, I suddenly rembered that I have sothing to do, so I won’t eat now. Another ti, perhaps.”
i Shu didn’t suspect anything. “You should take care of yourself even if you’re busy with work. I’ll take a taxi back by myself.”
With that, she cheerfully opened the car door, waved at Lu Si, and said, “See you next ti. Feel free to call whenever you have ti. Goodbye.”
“Okay.”
The car door was shut with a “click” from the outside.
The interior of the car fell into silence once more.
After a while, Jiang He finally got in the car. Without looking back, he could still sense the palpable tension in the atmosphere, especially from Lu Si in the back seat.
He hesitated for a mont and asked, “Master Si, Lu Ming has left. Should we continue to have soone follow him?”
“No need,” Lu Si replied curtly, his tone unfriendly. “Are you very free? Go back to the company!”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Jiang He dared not object.
Although he didn’t know what had transpired between Miss i and Master Si, it was evident that Master Si was in a terrible mood at the mont.
Now was not the ti to ask questions; he just needed to do his job diligently. Any additional words might lead to more trouble.
However, there were always people who seed determined to get him into trouble.
Lu Si coldly stared ahead and asked, “Jiang He, how old are you this year?”
“Twenty-three, Master Si,” Jiang He replied, his neck slightly retracted.
He suddenly felt a chill running down his spine for no apparent reason.
With a hint of disdain in his voice, Lu Si sneered, “You’re twenty-three and have never been in a relationship? Pathetic.”
Jiang He:”?” Master Si, have you forgotten that you seem to have never been in a relationship either? And you’re definitely older than !
But even if he had a hundred tis the courage, he wouldn’t dare to say such things.
Jiang He pretended to be profound and said, “Actually, I do have so romantic experiences from my school days.”
Lu Si suddenly tilted his head and stared intently at the back of his head.
Quickly, Jiang He explained, “During my school days, many girls liked , and
I had so ambiguous relationships with a few of them. But in the end, I wanted to find true love, so 1 didn’t commit to any of them.”
Lu Si accurately caught the number in his words. “How many?”
Jiang He swallowed hard and nervously said, “There were about seven, eight, or nine…”
Lu Si narrowed his eyes.
Jiang He thought, “Uh oh, it’s over. Master Si will probably fire for being unfaithful.” But he was genuinely innocent; he hadn’t done anything with those girls. Even during the ambiguous phase, he hadn’t held hands!
He really wasn’t a heartless playboy, and he felt terribly wronged.
However, the next second, Lu Si’s words made him temporarily forget about his grievances.
“How did you have these ambiguous relationships?”
Jiang He took a deep breath and explained, “We would go out for als together… and that’s about it.”
“Is it that simple?” Lu Si clearly didn’t believe him.
Jiang He hurriedly explained, “Of course, we would also watch movies before eating, send each other ssages, say goodnight, play gas together, attend classes together, and they even ca to watch play basketball and brought water.”
“Oh,” Lu Si said, seemingly lost in thought as he lowered his head. “So, if you didn’t do these things, it wouldn’t be considered an ambiguous relationship?” “It should be, right? If we didn’t even get involved in each other’s daily lives, how could it be considered ambiguous? At most, it’s just being regular friends,” Jiang He boldly declared, instantly regretting it.
Because he keenly felt the temperature of the icy gaze behind him drop a few degrees.
Jiang He finally grasped Lu Si’s intentions but couldn’t help but cry inwardly, “Master Si, have you forgotten that you and Miss i can also be considered to be in an ambiguous phase?”
“Why?” Lu Si asked indifferently, but his two thumbs unconsciously twiddled with each other.
Jiang He realized that the questions were quite leading and that he should choose his words carefully. “Because you’ve let her in on your secrets, and your relationship has certainly beco closer after your repeated acts of assistance. It’s already safe to say that you’re confidants!”
“Is that so?” Lu Si thought for a mont and then asked, “But everything you said seems to be things I’ve done. What has she done for ? What are her secrets?”
Jiang He’s smile froze.
These two questions were like an open invitation for disaster, and he had no answers for them..
