"Oh!" Ling Xuejiu didn’t know what to say next, so he glanced at Li ngjie, thinking to himself, "Normally you can’t stop talking, but now that your mouth isn’t sealed, why are you silent?"
Li ngjie looked at him with a puzzled face and said, "Xue Jiu, why are you looking at ? Mm! I get it, you must be hungry, right? Hehe, then I’ll go to the kitchen and see if the Cold Bodyguard is almost done cooking." While speaking, she got up, put on a pair of slippers, and ran into the kitchen.
"Silly girl!" Ling Xuejiu cursed inwardly, but on the outside, he barely smiled and asked, "Su Yurou, I heard you’re transferring schools, is that true?"
"Mhm!" Su Yurou replied, "I’m leaving tomorrow."
"Oh!" Ling Xuejiu hesitated before asking, "What exactly is your relationship with Leng Xuan...?"
Su Yurou was startled by the question. Even she had never thought about it. Friends, siblings, or perhaps...
Seeing that Su Yurou didn’t respond, Ling Xuejiu frowned slightly and asked, "You call him Brother Leng Xuan, so you must be related as siblings, right?"
Su Yurou smiled and replied, "Yeah, sort of!"
Ling Xuejiu didn’t even know why he was asking these questions, but Su Yurou’s vague confirmation made his heart tighten. What did she an by ’sort of’? Such a reluctant answer surely ant there was sothing fishy.
Yet, even if there was sothing fishy, what does it matter? Miss Ling questioned herself, growing sowhat agitated, managing a forced smile before dropping the subject.
"Cold Bodyguard!" As soon as Li ngjie entered the kitchen, she greeted Leng Xuan.
Leng Xuan turned around to look at the girl and replied, "Mhm, you guys are back."
"Yeah!" Li ngjie said cheerily, looking around, "Mm! It slls so good, Cold Bodyguard. It looks like you’ve bought quite a lot of groceries."
Leng Xuan replied, "Mhm, Yurou is leaving tomorrow, so I bought a bit more."
"So that’s the reason?" Li ngjie suddenly felt a little displeased. She thought she was going to have a feast tonight, but it turned out to be because they were riding on Su Yurou’s coattails. However, the thought that Su Yurou was leaving tomorrow made her feel slightly better, smiling, "Then if there is anything I can help with, let give you a hand."
"There’s nothing you need to help with. If you’re bored, you could wash the vegetables." Leng Xuan continued to cook as he spoke.
"Mm! All right then, I’ll wash the vegetables!" Li ngjie, though acting obedient on the surface, was quite reluctant inside, thinking, "What do you an I’ve got nothing to do? Stupid Cold Bodyguard, I clearly wanted to help!"
When all the dishes were ready, Li ngjie also helped Leng Xuan carry them out one by one, acting like a sensible wife. In truth, she did it on purpose because she wanted Su Yurou to know that her relationship with the Cold Bodyguard was quite special!
"Mm! The food’s all ready, Xue Jiu, Su Yurou, co and eat," Li ngjie called out.
"Let’s go have dinner," Ling Xuejiu, being the host, stood up and politely invited everyone to the table.
After a hum in agreent, Su Yurou didn’t say much and followed Ling Xuejiu to the dining table. Seeing the feast full of delicious dishes, she was quite astonished and turned to look at Leng Xuan, asking, "Brother Leng Xuan, did you make all these?"
Leng Xuan humd in affirmation, but before he could speak, Li ngjie chid in, "And too, I helped wash the vegetables. Hehe, Cold Bodyguard, you tell him, right?"
