"Are you done talking?" Lu Yibei asked.
Lu Chaoxi nodded: "Shall I take you back to school?"
"You're in such a hurry to leave right after we finished talking, aren't you busy?" Lu Yibei said.
Lu Chaoxi glanced at her watch: "Do you still want to talk to me? We'll charge by the hour."
Lu Yibei: ...
never mind.
“Okay, you can go now. We’ll take the subway back later, it’s not on our way,” Lu Yibei said.
Lu Chaoxi didn't say anything and left directly.
Lu Yibei was about to say something to Ji Qingqian.
After thinking for a moment, he gave Ji Qingqian a "wait for me" look, then jogged over and caught up with Ms. Lu.
"--mom."
Lu Chaoxi didn't even turn her head, just hummed in response.
"Try to avoid staying up late and remember to eat on time," Lu Yibei advised her.
"Your dad said you were still online on Steam at 3 a.m.." Lu Chaoxi chuckled lightly, "You want me to stay up less?"
Lu Yibei: "...But I don't have a stomach problem!"
"Just hang in there a little longer, and it will come," Lu Chaoxi said.
As she said this, she had already reached the door, and then added, "Go back."
“Hey,” Lu Yibei said.
He jogged a couple of steps towards Ji Qingqian, then turned to Lu Chaoxi and called out, "If my dad comes back, remember to let me know—"
"No noise allowed in the hospital!!" The nurse's warning made Lu Yibei shrink back.
He glanced in Ms. Lu's direction again.
The latter didn't even look back.
"…broken."
Lu Yibei said to Ji Qingqian, "It seems I still won't be able to see my dad anytime soon."
Because his father never tells him when he comes back.
They all went directly to his mother.
She was afraid that Lu Yibei would disturb their time together.
Ji Qingqian simply smiled faintly, saying nothing, but her eyes revealed a hint of joy.
“…Ah Bei~~”
She hugged her boyfriend from behind.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yibei asked curiously, "What did my mom talk to you about?"
Ji Qingqian's eyes darted around, making her look quite playful:
"Ms. Lu slapped a wad of 10,000 yuan in bills across my face and said, 'Take this and get away from my son!'"
Lu Yibei: ...
"Of course I won't do it! How about that, isn't that enough to show my love for you?" Ji Qingqian smiled.
Lu Yibei knew, of course, that this girl was talking nonsense again.
He smiled helplessly: "You should take it... We can split it equally later."
"Hmph~"
"No, what exactly did they talk about?"
"I talked about things you shouldn't hear~"
"Hello……"
"Being cute won't work."
"No, heroine, that's not right. Our book is all about communication, so why don't you communicate with me properly?"
"You didn't communicate well with your aunt and uncle either, did you?"
"Huh? What?...Hmm??"
…
Lu Chaoxi sat back in the driver's seat.
Instead of starting the car, she made a phone call first.
The person on the other end of the call was identified as "husband".
"--Hello?"
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone: "I thought you weren't going to call me back after you hung up on me."
Lu Chaoxi seemed not to hear the teasing remark.
She said, "They found out."
"What do you mean?"
The person on the other end of the phone asked, "About letting Brother Bei go abroad?"
Lu Chaoxi was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"It wasn't hidden at all."
"I already told you, it's not that easy to hide," the other person said.
Lu Chaoxi sighed:
"I thought I could fool her because she seemed a bit dazed."
"I think you're the one who's clueless."
Faced with this comment, Ms. Lu, who is usually sharp-tongued, did not refute it; instead, she smiled slightly.
"She's a nice person. I originally thought she had been sick, but it turns out she repeated a year of high school for Lu Yibei. She's even prettier than in the photos, and quite tall. She seemed nervous, but not afraid, and dared to ask anything—I even doubted whether Lu Yibei was good enough for her."
"The later evaluations are so high, but the beginning only had one sentence saying 'not bad'? I thought you would at least say 'very good'." The person on the other end said with a laugh.
Lu Chaoxi said calmly, "If she hadn't told Lu Yibei about what happened today, then she certainly deserves the 'very good' rating."
The laughter from the other end grew louder.
After Lu Chaoxi told him to shut up, the person on the other end got back to the main point:
"So, you've come clean? About Bei Ge's living expenses?"
"It's no use not to be honest."
Lu Chaoxi said, "Since even she can see it, Lu Yibei must have noticed it a long time ago—I don't think Lu Yibei would hide it from that girl, so it's better for me to be honest."
"It would have been better if you had done it this way earlier," the other person said. "You just had to try to look cool."
"Between a good mother-in-law and a bad mother-in-law, I would rather choose the latter."
Lu Chaoxi said, "At least this way no one will bother me, and I can focus on my work."
"Don't worry, with Brother Bei here, the little girl won't bother you." The voice on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Now that the little girl knows the truth of the matter, and Brother Bei roughly knows as well, are you going to soften your heart again?"
Lu Chaoxi clicked her tongue:
"Perhaps it would have happened two years ago, but two years have passed, and Lu Yibei is doing quite well on his own—and you've been secretly sending him money."
The person on the other end of the phone: "...Huh?"
"You're the user with the ID 'Author's Dad' who frequently gives tips in his books, right?"
