However, Leng Xuan hadn’t anticipated that his actions would deeply sadden Zhou Li. In truth, Zhou Li wasn’t actually planning to dine out with friends. She assud that Leng Xuan had no feelings for her and that his past closeness was simply to toy with her, but later, due to her brother’s intervention, he had ceased such intentions. Thus, he had also stopped keeping in touch with her.
For this reason, Zhou Li had also been deliberately avoiding any interactions with Leng Xuan.
After hesitating a mont, Leng Xuan intended to send her a ssage, but he couldn’t think of what to say and finally gave up.
After school that evening, Leng Xuan went alone to Zhou Jingpeng’s house. Zhou Jingpeng’s leg had fully recovered. When he saw Leng Xuan, he was visibly excited, opening his arms and giving him a bear hug. Then, as sothing apparently dawned on him, he asked sowhat perplexedly, "Are you by yourself? Why didn’t I see my little sister?"
Leng Xuan gave a wry smile and said, "She ntioned she’s dining out with so classmates tonight and won’t be back for dinner."
"And she didn’t even tell ? Really..." Zhou Jingpeng laughed, but sighed silently in his heart. As her brother, how could he not notice the recent changes in Zhou Li? Whenever he asked if she had had a falling out with Leng Xuan, she would verbally deny it. However, every ti Zhou Jingpeng asked, her face would look awful, and her temper would flare up. For this reason, Zhou Jingpeng guessed there must have been so issue between his sister and Leng Xuan. He had invited Leng Xuan for dinner intending to diate between them, but to his surprise, his sister decided not to co ho for the al, presumably to avoid eting Leng Xuan. Shaking his head, he said, "Well, have a seat for now. I’ll go cook."
Leng Xuan nodded and sat down without saying much, turning on the TV in the living room. Soon, Zhou Jingpeng had whipped up four dishes and a soup, and the two of them started eating.
Zhou Jingpeng poured a cup of wine for Leng Xuan and said, "My little sister seems to have changed quite a bit recently, she doesn’t talk much anymore. Heh, did you guys... have an argunt?"
Leng Xuan was taken aback and countered, "Argue about what?"
"No?"" Zhou Jingpeng was also surprised and asked, "Then, what stage has your relationship reached?"
"..." Faced with this question, Leng Xuan found it difficult to respond. After a while, he said, "Actually, I guess your sister and I are rely acquaintances."
"Just acquaintances?" Zhou Jingpeng was slightly stunned and couldn’t help asking, "You don’t like her?"
"Ha!" Although Leng Xuan felt sowhat bitter inside, he feigned irritation and said, "Your sister is still so young, and you’re already hoping for her to date soone?"
"Heh heh!" Zhou Jingpeng had always regarded Leng Xuan as the Boss, and was quite open in his presence, saying, "If it were soone else, I naturally wouldn’t approve. But if it’s you, you have my full support."
Leng Xuan shook his head; this topic was difficult for him to continue, and he sighed, "Alright, let’s drop this, shall we? I ca today because there’s sothing I wanted to discuss with you."
Seeing that Leng Xuan didn’t want to discuss his sister, Zhou Jingpeng did not press the issue. He decided to wait for his sister’s return and then have a serious talk with her to find out what had happened between them. So he said, "Oh, what’s there to discuss?"
