"It's so bright it's blinding!"
Qin Feiyu, holding his glasses, stared wide-eyed at the couple embracing and leaving under the umbrella, utterly stunned.
He nudged Lin Jinfan, who was standing next to him, with his elbow.
Her face was full of disbelief: "This little treasure of a sister is so innocent, yet she can be so proactive, throwing herself into her boyfriend's arms in front of so many classmates!"
"And he smiled so gently, so intimately. I don't know what he said, but it must have been sweet nothings!"
"When she's with us, she's only grateful, and her words and actions are always appropriate and polite. But when she's with her boyfriend, she completely changes! This dramatic change is amazing!"
Lin Jinfan has known Bai Lu for many years and spent a lot of time with her, so he is the person who understands Bai Lu the most.
They also know best when the dramatic changes that began during the White Dew season.
From the overly dependent "Brother Jinfan" to the more measured "Brother Jinfan," the difference may seem like just one word, but in reality, the relationship has become clearer without anyone noticing.
She clearly distinguishes between family ties, friendship, and romantic love, and maintains appropriate boundaries when interacting with others.
Even when there are three of them, she won't embarrass anyone; she has her own smooth way of handling things.
Lin Jinfan remained silent, watching the figure under the umbrella gradually disappear from his sight, and softly responded with "Mm".
Qin Feiyu's shock immediately shifted his focus, but the target had already turned and left.
"Wait for me, Fanfan! Didn't you tell your little treasure sister about the library incident? Let's go and invite her back to talk about important matters, like the note..."
Before he could finish speaking, a loud "boom" resounded.
The lightning struck three meters away from Qin Feiyu, splitting open a puddle on the ground and creating a spiderweb-like pattern.
The current spreads outwards in concentric circles.
The scattering landed at Qin Feiyu's feet, who was stunned by the lightning, startling him so much that he jumped up and chased after Lin Jinfan.
"How terrifying!"
"The Thunder God and Lightning Goddess are going to strike me!!"
Shang Chuyao, who had planned to snatch Bailu back to continue discussing their money-making scheme, was also stunned by this revelation.
The foot that had just taken a step suddenly stopped.
His slightly stiff hand gripped the umbrella handle as he stared blankly at the lightning that descended again five meters away.
"this……"
"Could it be..."
"Is this the legendary match made in heaven?"
With the protection of Heaven, no mortal can break up your bond. If you try to force it, you'll be split in two, leaving them scorched and bruised.
Shang Chuyao suspected that she had been reading too many fictional novels, applying all sorts of earth-shattering and tear-jerking plots to Bai Lu, she was practically obsessed and beyond saving!
She hurried back to her dormitory.
Read a business drama novel to cleanse your mind!
Anyway, I can't escape Bailu, I'm just going back with my boyfriend to spend a pleasant night.
I'll be back tomorrow morning.
I'll discuss our money-making plans with Bailu tomorrow.
Bai Lu had long forgotten about her grand plans to make money; she was currently shopping at the market with Xiao Cheng to prepare for cooking at home.
Chili peppers...
Of course, it's indispensable.
But only in moderation, after all, the meal is cooked and tasted together by two people.
The taste is just right.
A pleasant dinner, warm and wonderful.
Bai Lu, having just finished her bath, sat in front of her dressing table drying her hair. Outside the window, there were no roses, no wind blowing, no fish swimming in the river, and no cicadas chirping in the trees.
Only the bright moon hangs in the sky, the stars twinkle high, the street scenes are unfamiliar, yet the prosperity is familiar.
After Bai Lu finished drying her hair, she turned around and met Xiao Cheng's watchful gaze with great interest.
He had already taken a shower and was leaning against the headboard, wearing the dark blue loungewear he had brought from home.
With her long right leg flat on the ground and her left leg bent, she held a report in one hand and rested the other on her knee, her long fingers holding a pen that she twirled rhythmically.
The movements were fluid, graceful, and smooth.
It was as if he had returned to a past life. In the dead of night, when no one was around, he held a cigarette between his fingers, the flame flickering.
Rotation without direction.
The thick smoke couldn't ease the deep furrow in his brow, as if he were trapped by worries.
Only cigarettes can temporarily relieve stress.
Bai Lu opened the drawer, took out a small object, went over and snatched the pen from his hand, replacing it with the pen.
"This tastes even better than cigarettes!"
Xiao Cheng was slightly taken aback. His gaze, full of interest, turned to the smiling girl's face. Her long, soft hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, and even without a breeze, her fragrance was intoxicating.
He pulled the person into his arms.
He held the back of her head, pressed his lips down, and let the scent he was already addicted to replace the occasional memory of cigarettes.
Her flavor is purer than nicotine.
More intense, more capable of illuminating the dawn for him in the darkest, most chaotic night...
Bai Lu's hand was grasped, and the little thing she had just handed over was returned to her hand intact.
This is maltose!
Didn't he used to really like eating this?
The TV shows say that chewing gum can replace cigarettes, and since she doesn't have any chewing gum at home, she thinks maltose should work too.
Why isn't Xiao Cheng eating? Could it be that she's mistaken, and he's not having a craving for cigarettes?
Is it just something I do when I'm bored?
Bai Lu was a little dazed from the kiss, and was finally released in a hazy state. At the same time, she heard the man's deep, husky voice in her ear: "No candy."
"Hmm... Oh... I thought you were having a nicotine craving."
He said, "Smoking is not as good as kissing you."
Bai Lu's brain was blown to bits.
There was no alcohol at dinner tonight, so Xiao Cheng definitely wasn't drunk, and the child wouldn't have run away.
She wasn't drunk, so she definitely wasn't hallucinating.
Therefore, these straightforward and direct words were clearly spoken by a big shot in a sober state.
The big shot is taciturn and doesn't know how to use sweet talk. The words he speaks are always the truth.
He said it because he thought it in his heart, or because it was true, without any embellishment.
It is of very high quality.
Bai Lu inexplicably felt that she was more effective than maltose or chewing gum.
I'm a little happy, a little overconfident, and I want the medicine to continue working its effects.
Why does it smell a bit bloody...?
Hmm? The smell of blood!!!
Following the scent, Bai Lu rolled up Xiao Cheng's sleeve, the sleeve whipping around his arm at lightning speed before stopping.
Xiao Cheng was still waiting for her to take the initiative to kiss him to quit smoking, completely unexpected that she would roll up his sleeve. By the time he realized what was happening, his wound was already exposed in front of her.
"When did you get injured?"
Bai Lu stared blankly at the thin gauze on Xiao Cheng's arm, which was stained with blood.
Perhaps not wanting her to find out, the gauze was only wrapped two or three times. When the sleeve was down, it was completely invisible, and there was no smell of medicine. I don't know if it was covered up.
From the time I went to buy groceries and cooked until we finished eating, there was no smell of blood or medicine, which shows how tightly the gauze was wrapped.
It's likely that the unhealed wound worsened when it got wet while showering, causing it to bleed.
The injury must be serious!
"It's nothing, just a minor injury." Xiao Cheng patted the girl's head and tried to remove her hand from his sleeve.
But she held on tightly: "It's bleeding, it needs a dressing change, how can it be a minor injury?"
"If you lie to me again, you'll be eating chili peppers tomorrow!"
Xiao Cheng looked at the girl's face, which had instantly turned fierce, and cleared his throat: "I'm not lying to you."
Bai Lu reached out and unbuttoned his collar, the sound of her gritting her teeth coming from her back teeth.
"I need a checkup, a full-body checkup!"
