Can't Take My Eyes Off You

65

Lu Xingzhi mumbled an okay' and fell silent. The corridor of the restaurant was empty and the night

was quite windy. When they were both not speaking, Jiang Yao could hear the faint sound of the wind

blowing over the phone.

"Where are you now? I hear the wind blowing, is it windy over there?" Jiang Yao asked.

"I'm at a restaurant called Longteng in Jindo. I'm now standing in the open-air corridor talking to you.

It's very nice here, I'll bring you here on the National Day holiday. The food is really delicious, I bet

you'll like it very much."

He wanted to mention Liang Yueze and Luo Lauren's wedding, but he clamped his mouth shut before

he could blurt it out. After some quick consideration, he decided he would only tell her when she came

to visit him on the National Day in case she ran away.

Jiang Yao was astonished by the remarks that she nodded involuntarily. It was a few seconds later

when she realized that the man was calling her instead of standing in front of her, so he wouldn't be

able to see her reaction. She frantically replied, "Okay."

Thinking of the fact that Lu Xingzhi hadn't had his dinner yet and that he'd just completed his tiresome

mission, Jiang Yao urged him to go back to his dinner and hung up again without waiting for Lu

Xingzhi's response.

After the call, Jiang Yao subconsciously hummed and trotted joyfully towards the kitchen, while in

Jindo, Lu Xingzhi stood in the corridor in a trance for a while. Then, he chuckled and returned to the

room.

"Oh my god! Xuyao, look quickly! Xingzhi is smiling, isn't he?"

After Lu Xingzhi went out, Zhou Weiqi hoped so badly that he could glue his ear on the wall and

eavesdrop on their conversation. He was waiting anxiously and excitedly for Lu Xingzhi's return.

Unexpectedly, the man who was always on the phone for no longer than a minute suddenly talked for

about twenty minutes. He didn't even manage to wipe the smile off his face before returning to the

room.

Chen Xuyao nodded solemnly. "Yes, I see that."

Lu Xingzhi sat back at his seat and returned the phone to Zhou Weiqi. When he saw the astonished

looks on Chen Xuyao's and Zhou Weiqi's faces, he tapped the table lightly, signaling to them to get rid

of the looks on their face and said in dismay, "I don't have a stone face, is it so weird to know that I can

smile?"

"Yes! Of course, it's weird!" Chen Xuyao nodded like a woodpecker. "You're not just a stone face,

you're beyond that!"

"Yes, yes! You and Yueze are the champions of the stone face category!" Zhou Weiqi looked at Liang

Yueze and said, "Brother, you have a stone face too. You and Xingzhi are the most alike among us

brothers!"

"Weiqi, do you want me to feed you personally?" Liang Yueze stared daggers at Zhou Weiqi that sent

him shrinking fearfully in his seat.

"No thanks, I don't deserve such pleasure," Zhou Weiqi mumbled gingerly.

"Weiqi," Lu Xingzhi shouted as he looked frigidly at Zhou Weiqi, who was looking back at him like a

cute little bunny. "Or, would you like me to feed you?"

"NO!" Zhou Weiqi rejected it immediately. "Please, spare me! Xingzhi, why are you calling me? Come

on, I'm all ears!"

Lu Xingzhi and Liang Yueze were best known for their vicious temperaments. If any of these two were

to feed him, indigestion was the best he could pray for. He might even have to go to the hospital. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Chen Xuyao had a hard time suppressing his laughter upon the hilarious scene. He was smart enough

to know that Lu Xingzhi and Liang Yueze were not people he could offend.

Sigh, I miss that dude who is always overseas all year round,' Chen Xuyao thought to himself.
