As Chi Jiao looked at the young man in the video, she felt her blood boil.
To be honest, she wanted to push him down.
When Quan Jue saw that her petite face had turned red from coughing, he frowned. “Why are you coughing so badly? Did you catch a cold?”
Chi Jiao shook her head like a rattle drum. “No.”
“Jiaojiao, your face is very red.” Quan Jue stared at her face, still worried. “Are you sure you’re alright?”
Chi Jiao felt her face burning up. On the one hand, she was too excited, but on the other hand, she felt embarrassed.
She felt that she was really too shameless.
How could she have such evil thoughts!
“I’m fine.” Chi Jiao was close to writing the words “guilty” on her face as she clearly lacked confidence in her words.
To be honest, she was about to have a nosebleed.
If anyone else saw her like this, they would definitely say that she was a love-struck fool.
Actually, even she herself felt that every time she faced Quan Jue now, she would unknowingly become a super love-struck fool.
Quan Jue seemed to have figured out why Chi Jiao was blushing. He placed his phone on the phone stand on the table and picked up his hoodie.
When the beautiful scene in front of her suddenly disappeared, Chi Jiao smacked her lips regretfully.
“Do you still want to see?” Quan Jue suddenly asked with a smirk.
Chi Jiao nodded subconsciously. She hadn’t seen enough.
“When you’re older, I can let you see as much as you want. You can look anywhere you want.” Quan Jue’s smile deepened as his tone held a deeper meaning behind his words.
Chi Jiao looked at his devilishly charming smile. “Brother Quan, I seriously suspect that you didn’t wear your shirt on purpose earlier, right?”
Quan Jue raised his eyebrows. “You saw through all of that?”
“Of course, I’m the smartest!” Chi Jiao raised her chin proudly.
“Yes, you’re the smartest.” Quan Jue’s eyes were filled with adoration as he looked at the girl in the video and asked softly, “Shall I pick you up tomorrow to go to school together?”
Chi Jiao’s eyes lit up as she nodded her head heavily. “Sure. I have something I want to talk to you about tomorrow as well.”
“Then go to bed early. Good night,” Quan Jue said softly.
Chi Jiao smacked her lips hard against his face on the screen. “Good night.”
…
When Xu Lingling came out of the hospital, the moon was already high in the night sky. It was almost 10:00 PM.
It was deep into the winter. Therefore, not many people lingered at the entrance of the hospital, making it seem particularly quiet.
When she reached the entrance of the hospital, Xu Lingling tightened her scarf and called the chauffeur to pick her up.
She waited for about ten minutes before her family’s red Audi entered her field of vision.
The red Audi stopped in front of Xu Lingling, who quickly opened the door and entered.
The heater was switched on in the car, and the warmth made Xu Lingling feel like she was finally alive. She had almost frozen to death waiting outside earlier.
“Uncle Fang, why are you so slow today?” Xu Lingling asked the man sitting in the driver’s seat.
“I’m sorry, Miss. I was delayed by something.” The man’s voice was a little low.
“Alright, bring me home quickly. I’m so sleepy.” Xu Lingling yawned and closed her eyes as she leaned against the backseat.
The red Audi drove steadily on the road.
Xu Lingling’s breathing gradually became even. The man driving in front suddenly turned to look at her.
His eyes were completely covered in black smoke. The white of his eyes could not be seen at all. At first glance, it seemed like they had become two black holes.
