With the sound of the door opening, Su Xianyi instinctively looked over.
She moved her hand and swept the camera in front of her.
In Lu Shiyuan's line of sight, the screen stopped from Little Gutsy to a pair of big feet wearing sandals, then a pair of gray shorts.
Su Cheng didn't know that he was on the video call. He scratched his wet hair.
"I want to use the hairdryer. It's more comfortable after a shower. Do you want to take a shower too?"
Lu Shiyuan did not see him, but the word "shower" instantly ignited his ears.
He pursed his lips tightly and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. When he looked up again, his eyes were so deep that one could not see the bottom.
Su Xianyi lowered her head and pointed at her phone. Su Cheng immediately understood and kept quiet.
However, in the camera, Lu Shiyuan saw him walk in front of Little Gutsy and reach out to pick up his cat.
He sounded young. Where did this kid come from?
He had entered the house of the person he liked, showered, and even wanted to pet his cat? He had guts.
Su Xianyi had already switched the video call to voice mode and went into the bedroom with her phone.
Su Cheng watched her close the door and said thoughtfully.
Why are you acting so sneaky?
Could it be that she was informing their father?
--
"Hello?" Su Xianyi whispered in the room. "Are you still there?"
"Yes." Lu Shiyuan replied. "You have someone at home?"
"It's just a younger brother. There's nothing to worry about…"
Younger brother?
Su Xianyi keenly sensed that Lu Shiyuan's interest in chatting was not high.
She didn't dare to ask more, worried that he would find it annoying. In front of him, she still had to appear obedient and sensible.
"Uncle, after talking to you for so long, I almost forgot that you're with a friend. I won't disturb you anymore. If you want to see the cat, feel free to look for me anytime."
She thought that she was being very considerate, but after hanging up the phone, a certain someone's face was gloomy.
"Is the video over? Why are you still standing here? Go in."
The person who had gone to the washroom just now also walked out. Seeing that he had hung up the phone, he even patted his shoulder and signaled him to enter the private room.
In the end, when he met his gaze, he almost peed his pants!
Even Sichuan opera didn't change their masks so quickly.
He didn't even dare to say a word and rolled back to the private room.
"D * mn, that's too f * cking scary. When I went out and saw Lu Shiyuan just now, he was still smiling coquettishly. Now, that gaze is simply too awesome."
"Before, Old Xiao said in the group that there was some gossip. There's an 80% chance that something is wrong with him?"
"I don't know if there's anything going on, but his expression looks like he's been rejected romantically."
..
Everyone was dumbfounded.
How could a relationship setback happen to him?
This was Lu Shiyuan!
She made him suffer? How awesome was this girl? If he ever met her, he would definitely have to pay his respects to her.
Soon, Lu Shiyuan returned to the private room.
His expression was the same, but everyone keenly sensed that there was something wrong with his aura.
It was as if there was a fuse on his body. At this moment, whoever had the guts to fiddle with it would definitely be blown to pieces.
Although personal safety was important, it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the crowd.
After looking at each other, they used their gazes to recommend a strong man to speak up for them.
"Shiyuan, you…You went out for a while and came back in a bad state. Are you too tired? Or is there something wrong at the hospital?"
"Neither." There was no emotion in Lu Shiyuan's tone. The private room was silent, and only the sound of him tapping on the table could be heard. "I have to go back to Kingstown early."
"You just came back. Is there an emergency over there?"
Lu Shiyuan scoffed. "It's my kitten…"
"It seems that it wants to climb the wall while I'm not around."
What the hell?
A cat wants to climb a wall, why do you have to act like you want to kill someone? Do you have to go back early?
Everyone present was smart. His appearance…
It didn't look like a cat climbing the wall, but more like a person running away.
**
Lu Shiyuan was aggrieved and puzzled. Where did this underpants kid come from? He had just left when he seamlessly moved in and even dared to pet his cat!
Su Xianyi said that he was her younger brother, so he didn't probe further.
After all, he wasn't qualified to do so.
As far as he knew, she did have a half-brother, but according to his age, he should be in school and had no contact with her. Why would Su Xianyi suddenly let him live in her house?
Then who was this…
In the second half of the dinner, almost everyone was paying attention to Lu Shiyuan. His expression was as if he was staring at a patient on the operating table, trying to figure out where to start the surgery. It was quite scary.
The dinner that was supposed to be an all-night gathering ended before 10 o'clock.
Lu Shiyuan had just arrived home when he saw Su Xianyi's new social media post:
[The king of supper is none other than crayfish.]
The accompanying picture was a few pictures of crayfish of different flavors. It was obvious that they were taken at a restaurant, and the amount was more than one person could finish.
She and that underpants kid went to eat crayfish?
Su Xianyi really couldn't resist the temptation.
After Su Cheng finished drying his hair and helped her deal with the cat fur in the living room, he suggested eating crayfish. She immediately wavered.
After hesitating for nearly an hour, she finally couldn't resist. She followed Su Cheng to a lobster restaurant. It was said that it was a trendy restaurant and it was basically impossible to book a seat during the peak season.
They came at the right time. They even went to a small private room and ordered steamed, spicy, and garlic-flavored crayfish.
Especially the garlic flavor. After the lobster and garlic were boiled together, a spoonful of stir-fried garlic was poured on top, and the fragrance spread.
As soon as the lobsters were served, Su Cheng couldn't help but pinch a lobster with gloves on. He pried open the head and tail of the lobster and took a sip of the soup inside. It was so hot that he gasped.
Su Xianyi laughed out loud. "Eat slowly. No one is snatching it from you."
"The essence of eating lobster lies in this mouthful of soup."
"Yes."
"By the way, Sis, you called someone mysteriously just now. Did you tell my dad?" Su Cheng probed.
"No, it's not him."
"Is that my brother-in-law?"
Su Xianyi had just taken a sip of soup when she choked, causing Su Cheng to laugh wildly.
"Is my brother-in-law surnamed Lu?"
Su Xianyi's pupils trembled slightly as she looked at him in disbelief.
How was he a brother-in-law? How did you even know that his surname was Lu?
However, Su Cheng looked at her proudly. "I can tell that your cat's toy was bought by a man. It's mainly practical and has no aesthetic value. A girl definitely won't choose it."
"Its name is Little Gutsy, so its owner must be surnamed Lu."
"And your reaction, you look like a cat whose tail has been stepped on."
Su Xianyi's throat was stung by the soup. She coughed and couldn't speak. She could only listen to Su Cheng's nonsense.
"No wonder you don't like Wei Yu'an. Is my brother-in-law especially mighty and majestic?"
Mighty? Majestic? What kind of adjective was that?
"I'm going to the washroom." Su Xianyi choked on the soup and felt uncomfortable.
Su Cheng smiled at her. "As long as you like him, you don't have to worry about my dad…"
"Big sister flies bravely, little brother will always follow."
Su Xianyi wanted to cover his mouth. Shut up!
--
Lu Shiyuan could not calm down at this moment. His grandfather was especially happy that he was home tonight.
If he left overnight, he would be sad for a long time even if he didn't say it. When he insisted on going to Kingstown before, the old man had been sad for a long time. He couldn't keep making the old man sad.
However, when he thought of Su Xianyi living in the same room as the opposite sex, he was furious.
Finally, he opened the drawer and picked up the cigarette that he had quit smoking for two years.
