It was late at night.

Bai Lu was awakened by the urgent knocking on the door at 1:30 a.m.

Zhang San and his wife arrived again with the phone.

Moreover, the repair speed was ten thousand times faster than last time, as if a demon was chasing after it with a knife.

He quickly explained the reason as soon as he opened the door, and rushed to carry a ladder to check the telephone line. This empty house also had a backyard and a vegetable garden, but it was not as big as Xiao Cheng's house.

There were only two large trees, and the inspection was completed quickly.

The result was... the phone line wasn't broken.

After frantically checking the entire telephone line, both inside and outside the house, they finally discovered the cause of the malfunction.

The connector on the back of the landline phone is loose.

It was probably accidentally bumped during the move. The connector didn't fall off; it was still in the interface slot, but it was loosened halfway out, causing poor contact and preventing it from connecting.

The cause was found and fixed, and the phone finally returned to normal. Zhang San, who had survived the ordeal, wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and had a thousand words of advice to give to Bai Lu.

He opened his mouth.

In the end, all that was left was a hurried farewell: "Sister-in-law, no need to see me off. Brother Cheng has something urgent to discuss with you. You must wait for Brother Cheng's call, and whatever you do, don't fall asleep..."

I'm doomed if I fall asleep!!!

Zhang San clasped his hands together, praying with the same sincerity as the goddess Nuwa, begging Bailu to stay up all night and spare his life.

After asking, fearing that Bai Lu might disagree, he quickly turned around and ran away with the couple on the phone.

It seemed as if its legs had grown motors; it vanished in an instant, leaving only the quiet, still night.

"Ring ring—"

The urgent ringing of the telephone pierced the night sky.

This powerful announcement proves that what happened in the last three minutes was real.

Bai Lu answered the phone and immediately heard an anxious and tense voice: "Lulu?"

"Is that Lulu? Is Lulu alright?"

Bai Lu rubbed her eyes, chasing away the last two sleepyheads, her voice still carrying a hint of laziness.

To scare a child: "Something's wrong..."

"What!" The child's tense and worried voice almost shattered the receiver: "Lulu, what happened? What's wrong?!"

"Did someone bully Lulu? Is Lulu hurt? Where is she hurt? Lulu, tell me quickly!"

Bai Lu remained silent, deliberately pausing for three seconds before softly saying, "My eyes... are sleepy."

The person on the other end of the phone seemed momentarily stunned, their anxious tone abruptly halting as they were calmed by a gentle voice.

Li Si, standing stiffly outside the phone booth, watched as the big shot inside gripped the cracked receiver.

From unstoppable rage, to uncontrollable anxiety, to restless pace, to being completely stunned.

Quiet, calm, it took less than three seconds.

What kind of magical phone call was that?

What kind of heavenly sound can instantly calm agitation, quell rage, and subdue an evil dragon?

Make the big boss obey.

He instantly became responsive to every question, and his attitude in admitting his mistake was so sincere and honest: "I only drank five glasses."

Li Si: "..." It seems to be five and a half cups.

Should I remind you?

"Li Si was there the whole time."

A row of cold blades pierced the air and struck.

Li Si: "..."

Let's just keep pretending to be transparent.

Saying the wrong thing will get you sent to the hell of tongue-pulling.

Listening to the boss's soft voice as he continued his phone conversation, Li Si finally understood why the boss didn't care about Yun Ruolin's hangover cure—because the boss had something better…

The ultimate hangover cure – Sister-in-law.

"Why aren't you asleep yet, so late?" Bai Lu leaned back in her chair and yawned, covering her mouth.

At this moment, she really missed her cell phone. Cell phones are great; you can answer calls while lying in bed.

We talked on the phone under the covers, or next to the pillow, until we fell asleep...

The breathing beside him grew shallower and softer, and Xiao Cheng suddenly spoke: "Lulu?"

Bai Lu: "Mm."

"Have any strange people come looking for you?" Without the irritable child, the tense voice was more obvious.

Bai Lu stopped scaring the child and asked, confused, "What strange person?"

Li Si, who was eavesdropping outside the phone booth, was unsurprisingly stabbed again.

But I was still fortunate enough to hear the big shot pronounce that name for the first time—a name that seemed to prick my mouth, would sully my lips, and I had never pronounced before, even with its beginning and end removed.

The three words, spoken without any emotional fluctuation, were: "Yun Ruolin."

Bai Lu lazily raised her hand and gently rolled up the pink roses in the vase: "I didn't see them."

I don't know if Xiao Wei and Wang Cuihua saw it or not, but she didn't see it.

The child, regardless of whether she had seen it or not, explained, "Yun Ruolin went to Nanshi to do market research. I didn't ask her to go, so it has nothing to do with me. Lulu, don't misunderstand!"

"Mmm... I understand." Bai Lu laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up.

In her past life, when she read Xiao Cheng's memories, he clearly didn't have this childish side.

He doesn't know how he managed to split into such an adorable little clone in this life.

"I don't know if Yun Ruolin will go to Pingcheng, or if she will come to your home to look for you," he continued to explain.

And the words were clear: "If Yun Ruolin comes to your house, don't pay attention to what she says. I've only seen her three times. The first time was when we were discussing an air conditioning partnership. The second time was that night when she brought hangover medicine to the hotel, but I didn't take it and she left. Lulu, don't misunderstand!"

"Okay, okay... I don't misunderstand." Bai Lu's voice was as gentle as a night breeze: "And the third time?"

The child's last bit of agitation was soothed by a gentle voice, and he obediently explained, "The third time was on the night of Qixi Festival."

Li Si was eavesdropping when, just as the word "jie" was uttered, a row of cold knives slashed down.

I immediately pulled my ears back and looked at the sky, the ground, and my toes.

The boss's temper flared up again!

What is the reason?

Of course it was: "After Li Si finished reporting his work, he left without closing the door properly. Yun Ruolin said that the food delivery waiter had been called away by other customers who had urgent business. She needed to ask me to deliver the food, and when she saw that the door was unlocked, she came in."

"The thing Yun Ruolin wanted to talk to me about was the building materials that Lulu overheard on the phone. I haven't seen Yun Ruolin since then, so Lulu mustn't misunderstand!"

Having listened to both the elder brother and the child's explanations, and understanding them clearly, Bai Lu still had no misunderstandings.

"Well done, Acheng! Great job! You did the right thing! Acheng is the best and most capable!"

With a mix of coaxing and praise, the child smiled happily.

Li Si was dumbfounded, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets; no wonder he was so shocked.

Even passersby were so shocked that they stopped and stared.

Even the stray dogs passing by had their eyes shining, stunned by the breathtaking feast inside the phone booth—one second a cold-faced devil, the next a radiant god—drooling with envy…

"Lulu has to wait for me to come home and isn't allowed to run around." The child was stubborn and domineering.

The sound, however, penetrated deeper into people's hearts than the darkness of night.

Bai Lu looked at the calendar on the wall, her eyes smiling, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come home."

The child was very satisfied and spoke with an air of wealth: "Lulu, if you're good, I'll buy you prawns when I get home."

"Hmm...Actually, Awen already bought them." So even if you're disobedient, you can still eat shrimp.

"Awen bought small shrimp, I'll go home and buy big shrimp for Lulu!"

"All right."

"Good girl, Lulu."
