Chapter 118 How did you two end up together?

Time passed quickly. After writing two chapters, Lu Zhaoye checked the time and figured Luo Xiao should be back soon.

Lu Zhaoye turned off the computer, stepped out of the bedroom, put on an apron, and headed towards the kitchen.

I wonder how Luo Xiao will react when she finds out the truth tonight. Does Lu Zhaoye know that Luo Xiao is still hiding the secret of Xiao Bianzi?

However, Lu Zhaoye was also a little worried. He knew that Luo Xiao liked him, and the two had grown up together since they were little. In fact, he didn't want to hurt Luo Xiao.

However, Lu Zhaoye had no choice; he had to attend to Xu Ziqing's matter, and no one could take his place.

He shook his head, rubbed his temples, and started cooking.

As three or four dishes were served, Lu Zhaoye's mood gradually improved. Hearing a click from the doorway, he turned around with a smile...

"Luo Xiao, come back... Holy crap."

Lu Zhaoye froze, his hands still arranging the dishes. He stared blankly at Luo Xiao and Zhang Xinhan, who had appeared at the door.

"No, you two..."

Lu Zhao was dumbfounded. Luo Xiao and Zhang Xinhan had only gotten to know each other a little better the day before yesterday because of the competition. How could their relationship have become so good that they could bring each other home?

At this moment, Luo Xiao stood at the door, rolled her eyes at the silly-looking Lu Zhaoye, and said...

"Hanhan is my neighbor who lives in my house."

After listening, Lu Zhaoye paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously and murmured,

"Oh, so you live in..."

"What?" Lu Zhaoye snapped out of his daze and exclaimed incredulously at Zhang Xinhan, "You live across the street?"

Zhang Xinhan looked at Lu Zhaoye with a hint of resentment. Thinking of what Qingqing had told her last night, she felt a surge of anger.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Lu Zhaoye's heart skipped a beat when he heard that authentic spicy snack voice, but not with excitement, but with despair.

Oh no, he can't even handle one Popeye, if two of them come, they'll surely kill him.

Lu Zhaoye slumped into his seat.

Luo Xiao will definitely settle accounts with me tonight. If Zhang Xinhan finds out that I slept in the same room as Xu Ziqing last night, she'll probably kill me too.

Haha, Cao Dan's life is amazing.

He swallowed hard, sat down, gave an awkward smile, and greeted them warmly.

"Hey, come quick, come eat something."

Luo Xiao and Zhang Xinhan exchanged sharp glances, each with their own thoughts, and took off their schoolbags before walking to the dining table.

The two sat opposite Lu Zhaoye, one on his left and one on his right, and launched their attack on Lu Zhaoye with Luo Xiao as the center.

"Xiao Ye, what day is it today? You made so many dishes." Luo Xiao asked with great interest.

Lu Zhaoye's body trembled slightly, and he quickly said,

"The vegetables in the kitchen are about to spoil; they'll go bad if we don't cook them soon."

Lu Zhaoye didn't want to explain his relationship with Xu Ziqing in front of Zhang Xinhan, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Squad leader, when did you get here?"

Zhang Xinhan did not hesitate and told Lu Zhaoye about moving in.

When she went out to pick up her takeout yesterday afternoon, she bumped into Luo Xiao, who was doing the same thing. The two were taken aback at first, but then they happily started playing together.

After all, there was a moment when they were united against a common enemy, and Luo Xiao and Zhang Xinhan didn't have many close friends in the class because they had such good grades and strange personalities.

The two hit it off immediately, feeling like they had known each other for a long time, and quickly became best friends.

Lu Zhaoye clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself, "It really is true that a kindred spirit finds a kindred spirit in humble surroundings."

"Then please take care of me from now on. If there's anything... just tell Luo Xiao," Lu Zhaoye said, noticing Luo Xiao's gaze.

Zhang Xinhan nodded, her originally resentful gaze gradually turning fiery, because she carefully examined Lu Zhaoye's neck and it didn't seem to have the...big hickeys that were mentioned online.

At this moment, Luo Xiao's expression froze for a moment, and she spoke again.

"Tell me, what did you and Xu Ziqing do in Nanjing?"

Then she put her arm around Zhang Xinhan's and added, with a hint of threat,

"Xu Ziqing's good friend Hanhan is here. I already know the general situation between you and Xu Ziqing. If you say a single falsehood today..."

"Ono, you know the consequences, right?"

Lu Zhaoye's hand holding the chopsticks froze, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes. He looked up and saw that the two cute but fierce people together didn't seem so bad, after all, they looked... pleasing to the eye.

He put down his chopsticks, his mind already on a plan. Lu Zhaoye flashed his signature mischievous grin and asked in return,

"Luo Xiao, you're starting to interfere with me now. It's my freedom to be with whomever I want."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiao's expression changed, turning frighteningly cold. However, Lu Zhaoye continued...

"However, there's something to say about my relationship with Xu Ziqing."

"In short, she's my younger brother."

To put it more precisely, it was a mutually beneficial relationship.

"If it weren't for her, I would still be being played like a fish by Wen Ningning. If it weren't for Xu Ziqing, I wouldn't even know I was a simp. Su Cheng, do you understand? Those two are really a despicable couple."

Lu Zhaoye then vividly recounted to the two of them what Su Cheng and Wen Ningning had done before.

Luo Xiao's originally pale face gradually turned red and warm, and she was annoyed by what Lu Zhaoye said.

Although she knew that Wen Ningning was not a good person, she did not expect that Wen Ningning would collude with Su Cheng to frame Xiao Ye.

She slammed her hand on the table and angrily cursed, "You two are a scoundrel."

Zhang Xinhan, who was standing to the side, didn't say anything. She knew about this, so she wasn't too shocked.

"So in order to get rid of these two, my relationship with Xu Ziqing gradually developed into that of an older brother and his younger brother. It's that simple."

"As for this trip to Nanjing, it was because Xu Ziqing's mother asked me to go, so I went."

After speaking, Lu Zhaoye took out his phone, opened his chat with Aunt Xu, and showed it to Luo Xiao.

"You won't believe me, just look."

At this point, Luo Xiao also believed it. What Xiao Ye said was not much different from what Han Han said, and he knew Xiao Ye's personality well; he really would do such things.

Seeing the change in Luo Xiao's expression, Lu Zhaoye felt a little relieved. He took a sip of water and continued speaking.

"I was supposed to be back yesterday, but something unexpected happened. I ran into a local bully."

Luo Xiao and Zhang Xinhan frowned upon hearing this. Luo Xiao only knew that Xiao Ye had accompanied Xu Ziqing to get her eyes treated yesterday, and knew nothing else.

When Zhang Xinhan asked Xu Ziqing yesterday, all she knew was that Uncle Xu had an accident and that the two of them were living together; she knew nothing else.

Lu Zhaoye noticed the change in their expressions and felt much better.

What is the art of language?

He slowly began to speak, recounting how the two of them arrived in Nanjing, were driven away by security guards in the afternoon, and finally, how he outwitted and outmaneuvered the factory director all by himself.

Lu Zhaoye's vivid and engaging storytelling left Luo Xiao and Zhang Xinhan completely bewildered.

However, he concealed the fact that he and Xu Ziqing slept in the same room.

Lu Zhaoye's lips curled up slightly, never expecting that Xu Ziqing had already told Zhang Xinhan about this.

Because in his heart, Xu Ziqing definitely wouldn't tell.
