Chapter 116 Arrogant Second-Generation Prodigy (Gong) VS Humble, Sensitive, and Invisible (Shou) [54
For Jiang Xiyu, Lu Xingye's clinginess was an extremely happy thing.
They went to class together, and when they didn't have class, they stayed together. The place they spent the most time in was Lu Xingye's room, and sometimes they wouldn't even go downstairs.
This went on for a few days, and unexpectedly, the first to break down was Lu Xingye's friend.
For some reason, getting Lu Xingye to go out has become a very difficult task.
Song Qingming and Xiao Qi had made plans to meet up many times, but Lu Xingye either ignored the messages or simply didn't see them.
That day, Lu Xingye was helping Jiang Xiyu with her homework with a blank expression.
Jiang Xiyu sat beside him, looking at the densely packed things, feeling a little sleepy.
To avoid falling asleep, Jiang Xiyu decided to play some games. After groping around for a while without finding her phone, she realized that she had rushed upstairs and forgotten to take it with her.
Just as he was about to get up and go downstairs to get it, Lu Xingye casually said, "The phone is on the bedside table."
"Hmm?" Jiang Xiyu asked, puzzled.
"Didn't you want to play on your phone?" Lu Xingye stopped typing and glanced at Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu smiled.
Lu Xingye calmly shifted his gaze.
After Jiang Xiyu got his phone, he played with it for a short time before it started receiving calls.
The phone was on silent. Jiang Xiyu looked at the caller ID and handed it to Lu Xingye.
It is Xiao Qi.
Lu Xingye answered the phone.
Jiang Xiyu sat next to him, not intentionally to listen.
Over the phone, Xiao Qi asked Lu Xingye to go out, and vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction with Lu Xingye's difficulty in making appointments, asking him what he was busy with.
When asked this question, Lu Xingye did not rush to answer, but casually glanced at Jiang Xiyu.
Their gazes met silently in the air.
Jiang Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and after understanding his meaning, her eyelashes trembled slightly with guilt.
Lu Xingye chuckled and replied with a nonsensical, ambiguous statement: "Busy."
There was a hint of smugness in his tone.
Xiao Qi found it hard not to understand; it was somewhat inexplicable.
After a while, he said directly to Lu Xingye, "Let's get together. Last time it was your birthday, Song Qingming and I didn't even see you at the banquet. This time, we good brothers will make it up to you."
It has been more than a week since Lu Xing Wildlife Day.
Xiao Qi and the others had arranged to meet Lu Xingye a long time ago, but unfortunately, Lu Xingye was in a love-struck state those few days and didn't even look at his phone. In addition, his phone was on silent, so he didn't answer the call.
It was for this reason that Lu Xingye became a synonym for someone difficult to meet in the hearts of his brothers.
Xiao Qi didn't care; this time, he insisted that Lu Xingye go no matter what.
After all, they were brothers who had grown up together, so Lu Xingye didn't intend to refuse.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Address."
Xiao Qi said, "Same place as always, let's go straight there."
So, after finishing Jiang Xiyu's homework, Lu Xingye took him out the door.
Night fell, and the car drove through the bustling city.
Looking at the scenery outside, Jiang Xiyu turned to him curiously and asked, "Brother Xingye, where are we going?"
Lu Xingye seemed to remember something, and his fingertips paused.
He cursed under his breath, thinking, "Why did Xiao Qi have to pick that lousy place of all?"
The young master almost always wanted to go home as soon as he got angry.
Just then, Xiao Qi sent a message urging him to hurry up, and Lu Xingye's eyes showed impatience.
He was not satisfied with the place Xiao Qi had chosen, but since everyone had arrived, he hesitated for a moment and then said to Jiang Xiyu, "No matter where it is, sit next to me and don't wander off."
Jiang Xiyu nodded.
The car stopped at the back door of the bar. After Lu Xingye got out of the car, he tossed the keys to the waiter waiting by the door.
He grabbed Jiang Xiyu's wrist and led her inside, with someone guiding her along the way, until the elevator stopped on the third floor. The moment the doors opened, Jiang Xiyu stared blankly at the familiar private room door.
Lu Xingye led him out of the elevator. The door to the private room was pushed open by the bodyguards guarding outside. Hearing the noise, the people inside rushed in excitedly.
"Brother Lu, you've finally arrived."
"We didn't have a proper get-together for your birthday last time, so let's have a longer get-together this time."
“Yeah, Brother Lu, we’re definitely going to have a good time this time.” Xiao Qi smiled and stepped forward. When he saw Jiang Xiyu standing behind Lu Xingye, he was a little surprised. His gaze shifted down to the two of them, who seemed to be holding hands, and his eyes widened suddenly.
Song Qingming had already noticed them when they came in.
He was the first to react, waving to signal the unrelated people in the private room to leave. After the door was closed, he stepped forward and said, "Brother Lu, please have a seat."
The others present naturally noticed as well, and for a moment, their expressions varied.
However, having been in the industry for a long time, they've seen many similar things.
Although they were shocked by Lu Xingye's undisguised behavior, they didn't ask any further questions.
Lu Xingye, of course, didn't intend to say much to them, and led Jiang Xiyu to sit in the main seat.
Everyone became even more curious, wondering why the person sitting next to Lu Xingye was Jiang Xiyu.
If they remembered correctly, the last time Jiang Xiyu was here, he was kicked to the ground by Lu Xingye for stealing a kiss, and Lu Xingye's fierce posture at the time clearly indicated that he was aiming to kill Jiang Xiyu.
It hasn't been that long since that humiliation.
I heard it caused quite a stir. Didn't Brother Lu kick them out of the Lu family back then?
This time, however, she walked in holding his hand without any hesitation, right in front of everyone...
For a moment, the private room fell into an eerie silence.
Many gazes fell upon Jiang Xiyu, and none of them were friendly.
Jiang Xiyu sat quietly next to Lu Xingye, her face expressionless, her silence indifferent and unobtrusive.
The bright and dazzling crystal chandelier overhead reflected on his overly clean-cut face, making his clear black and white eyes seem to gleam with light, glistening with moisture.
This inevitably reminded those present of the last time this person collapsed to the ground, revealing a weak and pitiful state.
The last person standing next to Lu Xingye was an inconspicuous, invisible person who always kept his head down.
This time, however, she dared to sit next to Lu Xingye. Her slender neck was no longer bent excessively, but rather calm and natural, like a pure white lily sitting there.
They all felt that Jiang Xiyu had changed, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what exactly had changed.
Lu Xingye clicked his tongue in displeasure, raised his cold gaze, and frowned in dissatisfaction at those who were looking at Jiang Xiyu.
Everyone quickly looked away, and sat down with awkward but polite smiles.
There were indeed many unpleasant memories from the last time I was here.
Before Jiang Xiyu came in, he also wanted to let go of Lu Xingye's hand.
But Lu Xingye held his hand firmly, brooking no refusal, seemingly unconcerned about being seen by others.
Xiao Qi's expression changed repeatedly, and finally he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "This is truly a great shock!"
He remained silent for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back any longer and complained to Song Qingming, "Fate is such a damn mess. Last time we were enemies, and this time we're family."
