Wen Xian seemed to havepletely forgotten that not long ago, she had dered herself a big star.
She would never ask for contact details first!
However, after she took the initiative—
Lu Xiao said indifferently, “Aren’t you about to leave? I don’t think it’ll be necessary.”
When he stared at her, it seemed he could see through all her little schemes; nothing could hide from him.
Wen Xian: “…”
Damn, she gritted her teeth in silence. So many people longed for her contact but couldn’t get it, and here he was, not appreciating the offer.
At that moment, the dishes were served.
Lu Xiao stood up to get dishes and chopsticks from the sterilizer.
He left his mobile phone on the table, its chat screen still glowing.
Just as Wen Xian finished cursing him in her mind, she unexpectedly looked up and saw the glowing phone.
She paused.
Looking up again at Lu Xiao leaving—
The next second, her heartbeat elerated, and she quickly grabbed his phone, opened his WeChat QR code, and hastened to add him using her phone.
As soon as the friend request notification arrived on his phone, she swiftly epted it and then cleared the notification.
In the hall, as Lu Xiao was taking dishes at the sterilizer—
He suddenly caught a glimpse in the ss mirror of the sterilizer.
Right by the door, the familiar woman was looking down with two mobile phones in hand, frantically managing something, her actions fierce like a tiger’s.
He stared for a few seconds: “…”
He fell silent, then looked down, pretending he saw nothing.
When he returned, his phone was still in its original ce, and she was holding her phone, seemingly scrolling through some news.
Her face expressionless.
Pretending, and quite convincingly so.
Lu Xiao nced at her: “…”
After putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Wen Xian immediately picked up chopsticks and started eating the tendermb.
Themb was incredibly fragrant, especially the rib strips, the outeryer had skin on it and was without any gamey taste.
Slightly fatty, tastier than just lean meat, she ate with great satisfaction. With another bowl of mixed beef soup, she felt fully content in this chilly weather.
The restaurant might look modest, but the cooking skills were not bad at all.
Wen Xian calmly enjoyed her meal, yet inside she was thrilled, with a slight indescribable nervousness.
She seemed to fear that he would discover there was an extra person in his WeChat.
Moreover, to prevent him from noticing, she had deliberately disguised her profile picture with those of elderly men and women, switching it out for a pastel pink lotus image.
…
Lu Xiao ate his noodles unhurriedly. Normally not touching his phone during meals, this time he picked it up.
He opened the WeChat app.
Everything on the chat page looked normal; it seemed nothing had changed. He then clicked on ‘add friends’, and thest addition was from someone at the geological bureau.
“…”
His slender, rough fingertips paused for a moment, then he kept scrolling in contacts.
As he ate, he scrolled.
He had only about thirty people in his WeChat. Some were from his time in the army, many others were colleagues from work in the west.
Suddenly.
He paused briefly in his movements.
The profile picture was a pastel pink lotus, and above it in colorful big letters it read: “Unforgettable Tonight.”
Who is this person…?
No name.
This profile picture… One would think Mr. Li had changed his image.
Lu Xiao put down his phone and nced at her, who appeared usual, and continued eating.
But just then, suddenly, more people entered the restaurant.
But they were not customers, they looked like they worked there, holding a tray with a stainless steel lid on it.
The lid was not tightly sealed, revealing a bit of dark red meat connected to grey-white skin underneath.
Wen Xian was eating themb, but on seeing something, her actions briefly paused.
What was that food?
Howe it had scales and grooves the size of a thumb nail…?
[Jiu Ge: Hahaha, when the two are apart, wait and see how Xian Jie pesters Lu Dog on WeChat!]
