Ning Li turned around and saw a handsome man behind her.
The weather was still cold in early spring, but he only wore a windbreaker, which enhanced his tall and slender figure and made his posture look even more perfect.
Ning Li blinked.
“Second brother? Why are you here?”
Lu Huaiyu seemed to be quite busy after accompanying her back to Yunzhou.
Although they had kept in touch with each other on their cell phones, they had hardly met each other.
She had not expected him to suddenly appear at this time.
Lu Huaiyu said, “There happened to be a dinner party nearby. I came over to take a look after it ended.”
Ning Li sized him up. It had probably been a private dinner party. He was dressed casually and did not smell of alcohol…
Lu Huaiyu seemed to see through her thoughts. He chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t drink.”
Ning Li coughed lightly.
Why did it seem like she did not want him to drink…
When He Xiaochen saw Lu Huaiyu, she was instantly shocked as well.
How could one live with such a stunning beauty up close?
She held her breath and was extremely nervous.
“Hello, Ning Li’s Second Brother!”
Ning Li, “…”
She gave He Xiaochen a blank stare.
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and laughed.
“Hello.”
It seemed that he did not mind He Xiaochen calling him that.
He Xiaochen was almost dazzled. She had to use a lot of self-control to restrain the scream in her heart.
It was only after Ning Li gave her a stare that she regained her senses.
“Ah! Mr. Lu, I’m sorry. I… I misspoke just now…”
He Xiaochen was embarrassed. In order to save her own face, she quickly changed the topic,
“Mr. Lu, we were just talking about idols!”
She still clearly remembered that when the school had spread the rumor that Ning Li and Pei Song were in a puppy love relationship, this person had come straight here.
He was probably very strict about Ning Li being in a relationship too young. It was better to explain clearly and not cause any misunderstandings.
Lu Huaiyu looked at Ning Li with a half-smile:
“Is that so?”
Ning Li felt a chill on her neck.
She nodded calmly.
“Yeah, she’s telling me about her new wall.”
He Xiaochen, “???”
Although what she said was right, why did it sound strange from Ning Li’s mouth at this time?
But that’s right. She could not tell what was odd at the moment…
Lu Huaiyu and Ning Li raised their eyebrows slightly.
Ning Li then noticed that he was holding milk tea in his hand.
She was a little surprised.
Lu Huaiyu had actually bought two cups?
She pointed and asked,
“Second Brother, did you specially buy this?”
Lu Huaiyu raised their chin.
“The second cup was half-price.”
Ning Li, “…”
Lu Huaiyu handed it over. “It just so happens that your classmate is here too, so you guys can drink it.”
He Xiaochen widened her eyes. I can have some too!? This milk tea that this peerless hottie bought!
She looked at Ning Li gratefully.
“Ning Li, your Second Brother is so nice!”
Ning Li, “…”
Don’t you drink this milk tea three times a week? Was there a need to be so excited?
She accepted the cups and looked at them. One cup was a Peach Oolong, while the other was an Iced American style.
She consciously kept the Peach Oolong, so she planned to pass the Iced American style to He Xiaochen.
Lu Huaiyu suddenly said, “I bought the Iced American style for you.”
Ning Li was stunned and looked up at him.
This…
Lu Huaiyu knew that she liked the taste of peaches.
What had he said? He bought the Ice American style for her?
But since he had specified it, she kept the Iced American Style Cup and passed the Peach Oolong to He Xiaochen.
He Xiaochen’s eyes sparkled.
“Thank you, Ning Li!”
If she not for Ning Li, how long would it take for her to be able to drink milk tea that such a top-notch handsome man had bought for her?
How was this half-price?
This was obviously priceless!
He Xiaochen went home in the opposite direction from Ning Li, so she quickly bid farewell to Ning Li and Lu Huaiyu and left happily with the cup of Peach Oolong in her hands.
When her figure had gradually disappeared, Lu Huaiyu said, “Let’s go. Shall I send you back?”
Ning Li followed.
The two of them walked side by side.
As they got closer, she could smell the faint smell of smoke on his body.
Lu Huaiyu never smoked in front of her, and he did not carry a cigarette or lighter with him. Most of the time, his body exuded the cool smell of cedar.
She inhaled lightly.
“Second Brother, did you smoke?”
She asked.
Lu Huaiyu replied with an “Mmm” and turned his head to look at her, raising his eyebrows slightly.
“You don’t like it?”
Ning Li shook her head.
She did not like the smell of cigarettes, but this person was Lu Huaiyu.
In fact, compared to the usual smell of cool cedar all over his body, this smell was more familiar to her.
Lu Huaiyu was not addicted to smoking, and he rarely smoked.
However, today at the dinner party, he had not refused their offer to smoke.
The main reason was…
It had been too long since he had seen her.
The Ye family had been causing a ruckus for quite a while. He had estimated the situation and did not interfere or ask any more questions.
When the Ye family finally calmed down, he felt that she was busy preparing for the college entrance exam, so he decided not to think about it any more, thinking that he would talk about it on Sunday when she was free.
However, he could not wait until that time.
So, he had come over after dinner.
After waiting for about half an hour, he had thought that their class was about to end, so he went to buy milk tea.
Originally, he had only planned to buy her a cup, but when he thought of smoking, he had added a cup of Iced American style.
However, he had not expected her nose to be so sharp, and she still smelled it.
Ning Li inserted the straw into the cup. The cold taste made her shiver.
She could not help but ask,
“Second Brother, why did you buy this for me? I thought that the cup of Peach Oolong was mine.”
Lu Huaiyu said, “Yes, that cup of Peach Oolong had indeed been bought for you.”
Ning Li was stunned. She bit the straw and looked at him.
“Then–”
Then, why had he let her give the cup to He Xiaochen?
Lu Huaiyu’s lips curled slightly and he said with a casual smile, “This cup of Iced American style was originally for me to drink.”
Since it was his, he naturally could not give it to anyone else.
What was his could only be given to her.
