Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.
What an incredibly jinxed mouth she has!
Lu Huan wanted to slap herself, clutching her phone as she hurriedly walked outside.
I ran all the way to the store entrance, making sure I couldn't hear a single sound from inside, before answering the phone.
As soon as the call connected, Gu Zhendong's dissatisfied voice came through, "Why did it take you so long to answer?"
Don't panic, don't panic. Anyway, Gu Zhendong is not in S City right now, so there's no way he could know your whereabouts!
Lu Huan feigned composure, "Ah, I was just taking a shower!"
It's normal for someone to be taking a shower at this time!
Gu Zhendong noticed something was wrong. "You're breathing heavily."
It's not a question, but a fairly certain statement: Does taking a shower really require that much exercise?
Lu Huan was anxious to answer the phone, so she ran out of the building, panting heavily. Of course she was out of breath!
But she couldn't be honest in front of Gu Zhendong, so Lu Huan continued to lie, glancing casually elsewhere, "Oh, it's because I was just running."
Gu Zhendong asked, "Running, aren't you taking a shower?"
Lu Huan had a terrible headache and racked her brains trying to figure out how to cover it up. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she hurriedly replied, "I just finished running and I'm all sweaty, so I'm taking a shower!"
Gu Zhendong pursed his lips. Putting aside her lazy nature, someone who would rather sit than stand or lie down than sit, it was surprising that she would actually become diligent and go for a run one day.
Besides, how could you be out of breath after taking a shower?
Gu Zhendong frowned. His words didn't match up, there must be something fishy going on.
"It's getting late, so you should go to bed early!"
Someone was talking to Gu Zhendong, probably taking a break to call her. Lu Huan quickly said, "Go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."
Gu Zhendong instructed, "Be good, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
"I'll be good!"
Even knowing that Gu Zhendong couldn't see, Lu Huan nodded repeatedly and hummed in agreement several times, just to show how obedient and well-behaved she was.
Gu Zhendong had other engagements to attend to, and just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly heard a man's voice on Lu Huan's end.
He frowned suspiciously, about to ask whose voice it was, when he heard Lu Huan say in a flustered voice, "Ah, I'm watching a TV series, you go ahead and do your work!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Huan slammed down the phone.
Gu Zhendong: ...
Gu Zhendong felt something was wrong the more he thought about it. If she was really watching TV, this little woman wouldn't be so flustered.
There must be something they're hiding from him.
On the other end, Lu Huan hung up Gu Zhendong's call, her heart pounding.
Turning to look at the boy who had been talking to her, she recognized him as the quiet and reserved one. She instinctively asked, "Why did you come out?"
The boy replied, "It was too noisy inside, so I came out to buy cigarettes."
To prove he hadn't come out with Lu Huan, he took out a newly bought pack of cigarettes, opened it in front of her, skillfully put it in his mouth, lit it, took a deep drag, and the smoke swirled around him.
Lu Huan was dumbfounded. This young man was only in his early twenties, but he looked like a heavy smoker.
When the boy noticed that Lu Huan was staring at him, he assumed that she also wanted to smoke, so he handed her the cigarette pack and gestured: Want one?
Lu Huan waved her hands repeatedly, saying that she didn't like the smell of smoke and that it wasn't good for her throat.
The two stood at the door, the atmosphere a little awkward. Lu Huan made up an excuse, about to say that she would go in first and he could smoke outside, when the boy opposite her stubbed out his cigarette after taking a few puffs. "If you don't like it, I won't smoke it!"
Lu Huan hummed in agreement, then looked at him suspiciously. "No, no, no, you don't need to worry about me. You can smoke if you want!"
The boy refused to smoke anymore, staring into Lu Huan's beautiful eyes. "Sister, what's your name?"
Is this a way of flirting with her?
Lu Huan gave a dry laugh, "My name is Lu Huan."
Xin Yue and Chu Han had both called Lu Huan by her name before, so the boy knew it, but he wanted to hear her say it herself, so he smiled and said, "My name is Chen Fei."
Pfft, Shen Fei?
Isn't this one of the male supporting characters who also likes the female lead Lu Sangsang? How come he's here?
Shen Fei is the youngest male supporting character who likes Lu Sangsang. He developed feelings for Lu Sangsang during their time working together.
Wait, isn't Shen Fei a popular idol? Why is he here?
Shen Fei looked at Lu Huan's utterly shocked expression and asked, "You know me?"
Lu Huan's brain raced as she pieced together the story of Shen Fei, the male supporting character. He appeared around the second half of the book, immediately becoming a top idol. He collaborated with Lu Sangsang on a song and developed feelings for her.
At that time, Lu Sangsang and Chu Jun had already reconciled, and it was probably a few years later that she met Shen Fei.
Right now, Shen Fei is just an unknown, or rather, not even a celebrity, young boy.
What kind of lousy plot is this? How come a male supporting character has appeared ahead of time?!
Lu Huan snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head, "No, how could I possibly know you!"
Shen Fei smiled, his dark eyes fixed intently on Lu Huan. Lu Huan made an excuse, "Um, I'll go in first!"
Let's go together.
Lu Huan: ...
Lu Huan and Shen Fei returned to the private room one after the other, while everyone else was having a great time and the atmosphere was lively.
Shen Fei sat down in his seat again and didn't talk much to the people around him.
Lu Huan rested his chin on his hand, pondering how he ended up here.
Soon, her phone vibrated; Gu Zhendong had sent her a message.
Go to bed early.
Fortunately, they didn't come to question who that voice belonged to.
Lu Huan breathed a sigh of relief; she almost thought she had been exposed.
The game lasted until midnight before it finally ended.
She will never come to sing with two people again; they're giving her a terrible headache.
Lu Huan glanced at the two people sprawled on the sofa, looking completely unkempt, and sighed helplessly. He decided to take them to a nearby hotel to get a room for the night.
However, before she could take him away, Chu Han's phone rang.
The call was from Chu Jun. He figured it was Chu Han's responsibility as her older brother to check on her since she hadn't come home so late.
Lu Huan hesitated for a moment before answering the phone. Chu Jun's angry voice came from the other end, "It's so late, why aren't you home yet!"
Chu Jun roared, startling Lu Huan so much that she almost dropped her phone.
Unable to get a reply from Chu Han, Chu Jun angrily shouted, "Chu Han, answer me!"
She glanced at the unconscious Chu Han, "Um...Mr. Chu, I'm Lu Huan."
When the soft, gentle voice came out, Chu Jun was stunned for a moment. How could it be Lu Huan?
When facing Lu Huan, Chu Jun's voice unconsciously softened, "You're with my sister?"
Chu Han often liked to play, and in the past she mostly played with Lu Huan, for which Chu Jun had scolded her several times.
However, ever since she lost her memory, Lu Huan has changed her playful nature and rarely goes to those places anymore.
Lu Huan didn't really want to talk to Chu Jun. She nudged Chu Han on the sofa, but the little woman was so drunk that she couldn't wake up no matter how much she was nudged.
So he hummed in agreement. "Chu Han is drunk. Are you coming to pick her up?"
Chu Jun didn't hesitate, "Okay, I'm coming. Tell me the address!"
Lu Huan quickly gave the address to the other party and then hung up the phone.
Chu Jun arrived quickly, in less than half an hour.
Chu Jun glanced at the table full of wine bottles, and his face instantly darkened.
Instead of studying properly, they only know how to indulge in extravagance and waste money.
Lu Huan pretended not to notice his expression and pointed to Chu Han on the sofa, "Your sister is over there!"
Chu Han was fast asleep, reeking of alcohol, and couldn't be woken up.
Chu Jun patted her twice, and Chu Han snorted and rolled over on the sofa, grabbing a cushion and muttering indistinctly, "Don't make a sound."
Chu Jun's face grew increasingly grim, and he was on the verge of exploding in anger. How could a young girl have gotten herself into such a state of disarray after drinking so much?
Looking at the two people beside him, Lu Huan was trying to lift Xin Yue up.
I tried several times, but all attempts ended in failure.
Unexpectedly, Xin Yue, who looked thin and frail, was quite heavy.
Chu Jun suddenly asked, "How do you plan to get back?"
"Huh? I'll just take her back to her dorm!"
However, the dormitory aunt might have closed the door at this time, so Lu Huan planned to rent a room near the school for her to sleep in for the night.
Chu Jun glanced at the time; it was already quite late. It wasn't safe for Lu Huan to take a drunk girl home. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll take you home!"
"Huh?" Lu Huan was extremely surprised, staring at him as if she had seen a ghost. "You're giving us a ride?"
Chu Jun nodded, "Let's go, it's getting late!"
Lu Huan couldn't lift Xin Yue by herself; she needed Chu Jun's help.
Chu Jun first put Chu Han in the back seat, then turned around to look for Lu Huan.
Lu Huan struggled to support Xin Yue's arm, barely able to stand. Fortunately, Chu Jun arrived in time, taking Xin Yue from her arms. Seeing Lu Huan stumble, he steadied her and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Lu Huan didn't want any more physical contact with him, so she quickly withdrew her hand and held onto a nearby pillar, saying, "I'm fine."
Lu Huan's avoidance of him made Chu Jun feel inexplicably uncomfortable. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
The back seat was occupied by Xin Yue and Chu Han, so Lu Huan could only sit in the passenger seat.
Chu Jun drove the car, glancing at Lu Huan beside him from time to time.
Lu Huan rested her chin on one hand, pretending to look at the scenery outside the car window.
The two did not exchange a word, and the car was completely silent.
Lu Huan found it very strange. Logically speaking, Chu Jun disliked her a lot, so why would he be willing to give her a gift?
The dormitory supervisor had already closed the door, but Lu Huan pleaded with her before she finally opened it to let Xin Yue in.
After getting out of the dormitory, Chu Jun stood outside the car waiting for her.
"You haven't left yet?"
Chu Jun glanced at her and said, "I'll take you home!"
Lu Huan wanted to get as far away from him as possible right now. "No need, I'll just take a taxi back!"
Chu Jun said, "It's late. If I let you go home alone, Chu Han will be angry with me as her older brother. Get in the car!"
As he spoke, he opened the car door, gesturing for Lu Huan to get in.
"Really, there's no need..." Lu Huan frowned, looking troubled.
Chu Jun looked at her and asked, "Are you planning to spend the whole night with me here?"
Lu Huan: ...
I don't know what got into Chu Jun, insisting on taking her home!
"Thank you!"
