[21st: …Don’t ruin your image.]
[Lu Zhichen: I don’t have an image.]
[21st: I don’t like it.]
Lu Zhichen was stunned when he saw these words. He seemed somewhat helpless.
He wanted to say something, yet he didn’t know what to say.
He was just acting coquettishly and wanted the little girl to coax him. When she was young, she would do so. Why did she not like doing it now?
Before he could think of a reply, a new message appeared.
[21st: Sorry, I typed wrongly.]
[21st: I meant I’m not used to it.]
[21st: I’ve recently been using T9 predictive keypad.]
She thus retracted her message about not liking it.
Lu Zhichen heaved a huge sigh of relief.
He looked at their chat. The statement of dislike that had left him speechless had been withdrawn, and the apology message seemed to show him the awkwardness she had.
[Lu Zhichen: 21st, you scared me.]
[21st: …]
[Lu Zhichen: Why are you not used to it?]
[21st: The Lu family’s Ninth Master is supposed to be cold and noble…]
Lu Zhichen laughed.
[Lu Zhichen: That’s for outsiders.]
[Lu Zhichen: You’re different, 21st.]
Xing Jiuan did not reply to him anymore.
She had said too much. This person was always teasing her.
She could not control him.
[21st: I’m going to be busy now.]
After sending this message, she turned off her phone.
The phone went silent after two dings.
Xing Jiuan rubbed her face and returned to the living room.
The director was sitting at the side when he saw her coming over. “Jiuan, go over there and wait for a while. When everyone is here, I want to announce a piece of news.”
“Okay.”
Xing Jiuan walked over. Lin Feng motioned for her to sit with him, and she went over.
Zhou Xi was beside him and was very satisfied with the spot that Lin Feng had directed Xing Jiuan to. It just so happened that she could also be closer to her.
Huo Jinqi and Xing Jiuan were very far apart. As long as Xing Jiuan did not deliberately look at him, they would not see each other.
Xing Jiuan didn’t want to look over either. As she sat there, Lin Feng and Zhou Xi spoke to her. Zhou Yu and Bai Lin, who were close to them, would occasionally say a few words as well.
She just sat there and didn’t have to worry about being cold.
However, she did not seem to like chatting.
Most of the time, she listened to others attentively.
Occasionally, she would respond with a few words and would even laugh.
Lin Feng was always thinking about feeding Xing Jiuan. She did not eat well most of the time and had some gastric problems. It was not serious, but everyone treated it as a huge matter.
Furthermore, fattening Xing Jiuan was not only Lin Feng’s wish.
Xing Jiuan looked at the yogurt, strawberries, and nuts in front of her and felt a little worried.
“Senior Brother, I don’t want to eat them.”
“They’re just some snacks.”
“I don’t want them still.” She frowned, looking a little like she did when she was young and didn’t want to eat.
When she wanted to eat something, everyone would prepare it for her immediately. Then, she would say that she didn’t want to eat them anymore.
She was a picky eater and did not like to eat much. She was beginning to eat fewer and fewer nuts and fruits.
She was done eating her favorite strawberries after having two or three.
No one could do anything about this.
They could not force her to eat either.
Anorexia was not worth it.
As they were talking, everyone had finally arrived. The director then came over to tell them something.
Everyone had originally thought that it would be about the next mission, but unexpectedly, he was telling them that there would be a new guest.
“Director, who’s the new guest?”
Previously, they were at least told that Xing Jiuan was Lin Feng’s little junior sister. Why was he being so mysterious this time?
“You’ll know when they get here.”
The camera was already in position. The new guest would probably arrive soon.
“What a coincidence. Zhou Xi, you’re going to have a teammate.”
“Can I switch with you?”
“Little Junior Sister has to be mine!”
