Bai Xuan’er’s expression shifted. “Lu Chen, what do you mean by that?”

Lu Chen glanced at her. “You’re my brother’s girlfriend, not mine. Do I have some obligation to drive you home?”

He added, “Oh, I should say,”

“*Ex*-girlfriend.”

Bai Xuan’er’s delicate face went pale in an instant.

I was actually quite puzzled. Logically speaking, the two of them had a shady, secret partnership.

Lu Chen should have been helping her, yet he was acting like this.

I brushed the stains off my own clothes, trying my best not to meet his eyes for too long.

Those eyes of his—they were lethal if you looked into them for too long.

“I smell terrible, so no thanks.”

Bai Xuan’er resorted to her old tricks, biting her lower lip and looking pitifully at him.

“Xiao Chen… please, help me out…”

I looked at Bai Xuan’er with utter disgust. Big sister, can’t you see?!

Lu Chen’s girlfriend is still in the car! Is it really appropriate to be acting this coy and desperate right in front of her?!

“Move, move.” Thinking of how Bai Xuan’er used to seduce Lu Ting made me angry. I shoved her aside with my hip—she was still busy trying to flirt—and swung my woven plastic bag over my shoulder, ready to flee the crime scene.

Footsteps approached.

Someone grabbed my arm.

I turned my head, my heart giving a violent jolt. My “love-struck fool” instincts were stirring.

The words died on my lips, and I suddenly stuttered: “W-what do you want?”

Lu Chen looked at me, as if he were peering through my skin to observe the soul beneath.

He huffed. “I told you to get in the car. Didn’t you hear me?”

Bai Xuan’er’s expression shifted. “Lu Chen, what do you mean by that?”

Lu Chen glanced at her. “You’re my brother’s girlfriend, not mine. Do I have an obligation to drive you home?”

He added, “Oh, I should say,”

“‘Ex-girlfriend.'”

Bai Xuan’er’s delicate face went pale in an instant.

I was quite puzzled. Logically speaking, the two of them had a shady, secret partnership.

Lu Chen should have been helping her, yet here he was, acting like this.

I brushed the stains off my own clothes, trying my best not to meet his eyes for too long.

Those eyes of his—looking into them for too long was truly lethal.

“I smell terrible, so no thanks.”

Bai Xuan’er, meanwhile, resorted to her old tricks, biting her lower lip and looking pitifully at him.

“Xiao Chen… help me out, please…”

I looked at Bai Xuan’er with utter disgust. Big sister, can you not see?!

Lu Chen’s girlfriend is still in the car! Is it really appropriate for you to be acting all coquettish so blatantly?!

“Move, move.” Thinking of how Bai Xuan’er used to seduce Lu Ting made my blood boil. I shoved the still-flirting Bai Xuan’er aside with my hip,

swung my woven bag over my shoulder, and prepared to flee the crime scene.

Footsteps approached.

Someone grabbed my arm.

I turned my head, my heart giving a violent jolt. My “love-struck fool” instincts were starting to stir.

The words died on my lips, and I suddenly stammered, “W-what do you want?”

Lu Chen looked at me as if he were peering through this face to observe the soul beneath the skin.

He huffed, “I told you to get in the car. Didn’t you hear me?”

Bai Xuan’er’s expression shifted. “Lu Chen, what do you mean by that?”

Lu Chen cast a sidelong glance at her. “You’re my brother’s girlfriend, not mine. Do I have an obligation to drive you home?”

He added, “Oh, I should say,”

“‘*Former* girlfriend.'”

Bai Xuan’er’s delicate face went pale in an instant.

I was actually quite puzzled. Logically speaking, the two of them had a shady, secret partnership.

Lu Chen should have been helping her, yet he was acting like this.

I brushed the stains I’d picked up off my own clothes, trying my best not to meet his eyes for too long.

That gaze of his—it was truly lethal if you looked for too long.

“I smell terrible, so no thanks.”

Bai Xuan’er resorted to her old tricks, biting her lower lip and looking pitifully at him.

“Xiao Chen… please, just help me out…”

I looked at Bai Xuan’er with utter disgust. Big sister, can you not see?!

Lu Chen’s girlfriend is still in the car! Is it really appropriate for you to be acting all coquettish so blatantly?!

“Move, move.” Thinking of how Bai Xuan’er had tried to seduce Lu Ting earlier made my blood boil. I shoved the still-flirting Bai Xuan’er aside with my hip,

swung my woven bag over my shoulder, and prepared to flee the crime scene.

Footsteps approached.

Someone grabbed my arm.

I turned my head, my heart giving a violent jolt. My “lovestruck fool” instincts were starting to stir.

The words died on my lips, and I suddenly stammered, “Y-you… what do you want?”

Lu Chen looked at me as if he were trying to peer through this face to observe the soul beneath the skin.

He huffed. “I told you to get in the car. Didn’t you hear me?”

Bai Xuan’er’s expression shifted: “Lu Chen, what do you mean by that?”

Lu Chen glanced at her: “You’re my brother’s girlfriend, not mine. Do I have an obligation to drive you home?”

He added, “Oh, I should say,

“*Former* girlfriend.”

Bai Xuan’er’s face went pale in an instant.

I was actually quite confused. Logically speaking, the two of them had a secret, unsavory partnership.

Lu Chen should be helping her, yet he was acting like this.

I patted the stains on my own clothes, trying my best not to meet his eyes for too long.

That gaze of his… it’s deadly if you look at it for too long.

“I smell pretty bad too, so no thanks.”

Bai Xuan’er resorted to her old tricks, biting her lower lip and looking pitiful:

“Xiao Chen… please, just help me out…”

I looked at Bai Xuan’er with utter disgust. Hey lady, can you not see?!

Lu Chen’s girlfriend is literally sitting in the car; is it really appropriate for you to be acting all coquettish like this?!

“Move, move.” Thinking of how Bai Xuan’er used to seduce Lu Ting made me angry. I shoved the still-flirting Bai Xuan’er aside with my hip,

and swung my woven bag, ready to flee the scene.

Footsteps approached.

Someone grabbed my arm.

I turned my head, my heart giving a violent jolt as my “lovesick fool” instincts stirred to life.

The words died on my lips, and I suddenly stuttered: “W-what do you want?”

Lu Chen looked at me, as if he were peering through this face to observe the soul beneath.

He hummed: “I told you to get in the car. Didn’t you hear me?”

Bai Xuan’er’s expression shifted: “Lu Chen, what do you mean by that?”

Lu Chen glanced at her: “You’re my brother’s girlfriend, not mine. Do I have an obligation to drive you home?”

He added, “Oh, I should say,

“*Former* girlfriend.”
