When Song Luokui returned home, it was already past 11 o'clock. As soon as she stepped in, she saw Song Luosheng sitting in the living room. Her heart skipped a beat, but she pretended nothing was wrong. "Brother, why are you back so late today? And why aren't you asleep yet?"
Song Luosheng looked at her. "Tell me, where have you been? And so late at night without anyone with you?"
Song Luokui pouted her lips. "I just went out to play. Jing City isn't that dangerous, is it? Or is it that you've offended someone again recently?"
Hearing this, Song Luosheng's guilt immediately resurfaced. When Song Luokui came over and patted his head, he said, "No, it's just that your company's cash cow had some trouble recently. I was worried someone might target you."
Song Luokui said, "I don't go to the company that often, so I don't think many outsiders know about me."
Song Luosheng said, "Tell me, did you go to the club and pick up some male models again?"
Song Luokui: ???
Song Luosheng: "I know you too well. Did you go to the club with your girlfriends and pick up some male models? Otherwise, why would you come back so late? Have you forgotten about the incident with the police station before?"
Song Luokui: "Uh... well, it was just for some entertainment, that's all."
Yes, Chi Yu could also be considered the male model she had picked.
Song Luosheng: "The men outside are dirty. Just look, don't play with them. You shouldn't do that."
Song Luokui: "I haven't played with them at all."
Song Luosheng: "I know you've grown up, and I shouldn't be so strict with you. But next time, remember to call and let me know where you are. Aunt Gui was worried."
Song Luokui hugged Song Luosheng's arm. "Okay, okay, I'll let you know next time."
"Alright, go upstairs and rest."
"Mm."
Back in her room, Song Luokui let out a sigh of relief, thinking that she might need to go to the club with her girlfriends to patch up the holes in her lie.
Falling in love is too difficult. Then she thought about Chi Yu's appearance tonight, oh well, even if it's hard, it's worth it. Dating an exceptional person requires some hardships.
Soon, it was the end of the semester, and Song Luokui had to take the final exams, so she didn't go on any more dates with Chi Yu. However, she's been staying on campus lately, so they could still talk on the phone, but Song Luokui always wore earphones when making the calls.
Wang Sisi and the others suspected that Song Luokui was in a relationship. Originally, only Wang Sisi would call her boyfriend in the evenings, but now there's another person - Song Luokui.
Sure enough, the phone rang again, and the others all turned to look at her.
Song Luokui calmly coughed a few times, put on her earphones, and answered the call. "Hello?"
On the other end, Chi Yu had just gotten off work. He was sitting in the backseat of the car, looking at the bustling traffic outside. Hearing Song Luokui's voice through the earphones, his fatigue dissipated a great deal.
Chi Yu's voice was a bit hoarse, as he had attended many meetings today and talked a lot. He leaned back in his seat, rubbing his eyes with one hand. "I heard you had an exam on Marxist philosophy today? How did it go?"
Song Luokui could hear the tiredness in his voice. "Where are you? Have you gotten off work?"
The three listening in: Off work? That means he's a working professional, not a student!
Chi Yu: "Yes, I just got off work and am on my way home."
Song Luokui: "You just got off work? Then take care of yourself. And don't ask about my exam results, or it might affect my performance in tomorrow's exam."
The three listeners: Overtime work? So late at night! There are two types of people - one is the company boss or executive who doesn't mind working overtime for the company, and the other is the laborer who has no choice. Of course, they're leaning towards the first type, but the truth is, there aren't many good-looking company bosses out there.
Wang Sisi: ... I hope it's Chi Senpai!
On the other end, Chi Yu chuckled after hearing Song Luokui's words. "My bad, I won't ask then. No matter how you did, I'll get you a gift as a reward."
Song Luokui: "A gift? For just taking an exam?"
The three: Exam results get a gift? He's not bad!
Chi Yu: "Of course, it's a reward for your hard work on the exam."
Song Luokui was quite pleased. "Haha, then I'll be waiting for it."
Chi Yu: "Mm."
As they were chatting, Song Luokui's phone rang again. She saw it was Zhang Xiyue and said to Chi Yu, "Hold on, I need to take another call."
"Hello? Zhang Xiyue?"
On the other end, Zhang Xiyue was also chatting with her boyfriend, but Weng Jiao had called her, saying the girls should get together after the exams and have a reunion, as they hadn't met up in a long time.
Zhang Xiyue happily agreed, "I'll let Luokui know."
Weng Jiao: "Great, make sure she comes. I'll be upset if she doesn't."
Zhang Xiyue: "No problem!"
Song Luokui heard about the reunion plans and had no objections. "Okay, I'll be there."
After finishing the call with Zhang Xiyue, Song Luokui called Chi Yu back.
Chi Yu had suggested taking her out to celebrate the end of exams on the same day, but Song Luokui had already agreed to the reunion with her girlfriends. "I can't, I just promised my girlfriends that I would join them for a get-together."
Chi Yu raised an eyebrow, sitting up straight. "Going to pick up some male models?"
Song Luokui: "Huh? You're just like my brother. Why do you both think I'm going to the club to pick up male models?"
Chi Yu: "What do you mean?"
Song Luokui quietly said, "Last time when I went to the movies with you and came back late, my brother thought I went to the club with my girlfriends to pick up male models. Why do you and him think that whenever I'm going out with my girlfriends?"
Chi Yu could only say that he and Song Luosheng's thoughts were quite similar, otherwise how could they be competing rivals.
Chi Yu: "I'm sorry, I... I just, if you're going to pick someone up, why not pick me? I can do anything."
Song Luokui's face immediately flushed red, and she spoke softly with some indignation. "You... How could you say that?"
Chi Yu let out a low chuckle, and that laughter seemed to resonate in Song Luokui's heart. Speaking in a low voice, he said, "So... will you pick me?"
Song Luokui: "No! I'm not going to the club to pick up male models, and you're not allowed to go either. Anyway, it's late, I need to take a shower and go to sleep. I have an exam tomorrow."
Chi Yu: "Okay, I've never done that before." He only went to the club when there was business to be done, not for those kinds of things, as he found it too dirty.
"Alright, good night."
"Good night."
After hanging up, Song Luokui turned around and saw the three with their ears perked up, listening intently.
Song Luokui: ...
Wang Sisi: "Hey, uh... Luokui, are you in a relationship? You've been making a lot of phone calls lately."
Song Luokui's blush hadn't fully faded yet, but she didn't deny it. "I guess you could say that."
"Wow~" The three immediately got excited, since the person involved had admitted it.
Song Luokui: "Are you guys that excited? But keep it a secret, I don't want everyone to know yet."
Wang Sisi: "I know, I know. In the future, you can just change boyfriends as you please."
Zhang Jingfeng and Su Ziyuan suddenly understood, "Yeah, yeah, we won't tell. You can just change whenever you're not happy."
Song Luokui couldn't help but chuckle. "I'm not that fickle. I'm going to take a shower now."
