Chapter 712: Chapter 709
Li Zaijun made the call and gave Shen Lin a warning look, telling him not to speak just yet.
If her brother heard him, it would be all over.
Shen Lin: “…”
He stood there helpless, holding two ice creams.
Look at her, how capable she is when she’s with him.
anwhile, as the two stood by the ice cream window on the street, Lu Xiao, in an Audi not far away, held the phone to his ear, listening to every word she said.
Listening to that “brother”.
Lu Xiao was silent for a mont and then said indifferently, “Where are you now?”
At those words, Li Zaijun’s heart fluttered with panic; she seldom lied, so she felt extrely nervous.
Her gaze flickered, glancing at the man next to her, she stamred, “Ah, well, I’m outside with classmates.”
As she spoke, in the car, Lu Xiao, staring intently at the two: “…”
He remained silent, saying nothing.
Li Zaijun, not hearing any response and thinking it was a signal issue, checked the screen and saw the call was still active before speaking up again cautiously, “Umm, brother… did you need sothing?”
The man in the car’s lips moved slightly, emotionlessly spitting out a few words:
“Your aunt is asking you to co ho for dinner.”
At that, Li Zaijun ran her fingers through her short hair, sowhat torn and said, “…I see, but brother, I have sothing today, can I…”
“What is it?”
Lu Xiao countered.
Li Zaijun felt at a loss.
What’s happening, why does brother have so many questions today, and for so reason, she felt an indescribable panic at the bottom of her heart.
She didn’t know what to say, she was just about to compromise when she saw Shen Lin looking at her seriously and shaking his head.
He had co to see her, having arranged it beforehand, and this young girl should not stand him up.
Li Zaijun, left with no choice, finally bit the bullet and said:
“A classmate is celebrating her birthday today, and invited to her party, I can’t co back today.”
She hoped this would be acceptable to her brother now.
But the taste of lying was truly uncomfortable, making her feel very uneasy inside.
After those words, the receiver was silent.
It made her suddenly feel a bit chilly.
Then, after a mont of silence, his voice ca through again:
“Is it a guy or a girl?”
Li Zaijun closed her eyes, clenched her fists: “A girl!”
Lu Xiao paused for a mont: “Will you co ho tonight?”
“Birthday” is “birthday”, but—overnight?
Upon hearing this, Li Zaijun earnestly said: “Ah, it depends on the ti, but I won’t be going back to my aunt’s place; it’s too late, and I don’t want to disturb your rest.”
“Where will you be staying then?”
His voice sounded calm, like a regular inquiry, no fluctuations could be detected.
Li Zaijun glanced at Shen Lin, whispering, “I’ll head back to the dorm, you don’t need to worry, brother.”
Actually, she wasn’t sure if she could make it back to the dorm.
After all, the dorm locks up after eleven o’clock, and if that’s the case… it seems she might just have to go with soone else.
Then, as her words trailed off, silence fell on the other end of the line, so much so that even the breathing was faintly audible.
Unable to get a response, Li Zaijun cautiously said:
“Brother…? Don’t worry, I—”
“I’m not assured.”
Lu Xiao coldly spit out a few words—
