Mentioning work always brought Jian Nian bad luck.
Ye Xi put down her bag and said, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I'll go make it."
Jian Nian, too tired to do anything but lie in bed, replied nonchalantly, "Just make something simple, no need to fuss."
...
At the dinner table, Jian Nian suddenly remembered what Old Man Wu had said and asked, "Who's Xiaolu?"
Ye Xi did not immediately catch on and asked back, "Which Xiaolu?"
"Old Man Wu said that during the days I was gone, some guy named Xiaolu kept coming to look for you, even suggesting that you two might get married. What did I miss while I was away? You got a man that quickly?"
Ye Xi quickly understood.
It turned out Jian Nian was talking about Lu Lingxiao.
Jian Nian shoved a chicken wing into her mouth, quickly spat out the bones, and mumbled, "Even though I don't know what that man looks like, I'm still happy for you moving on from your last relationship, so… have you guys used protection?"
