NOVEL NEXT chapter 96
96 The little wolf finally left (1 / 2)
Back at the dining table, Fang Zhou picked up his half bowl of leftover rice and devoured it all, not even pausing to pick up any vegetables.
He put down his chopsticks and told his sister, “I’m full, you guys eat slowly.”
Fang Wenjing, who had watched Fang Zhou eat his half bowl of rice without a word, found it a bit strange.
“Brother, were you really hungry? You ate so cleanly.”
Fang Zhou glanced at his bowl, spotless, not a grain of rice left, indeed just as his sister had said, as if he hadn’t eaten for three days and nights.
He raised his hand to his nose, masking his expression.
“Cough, I was indeed a bit hungry, but I’m full now.”
Fang Wenjing picked up a piece of vegetable, placed it in her bowl, and while eating, asked:
“Where’s Sister Xinran? Why hasn’t she come out yet?”
“I’m here.”
Just as they were talking about Chu Xinran, she finally came out.
“I blew dry my soaked clothes, they’re almost fine now.”
She smiled gently at the three of them, as if the person who had just pulled Fang Zhou into her room asking for his help wasn’t her.
Fang Zhou glanced at her, she was still wearing his shirt and pants, but the buttons were now neatly done up.
Unconsciously, the image of the two peaks from earlier surfaced in his mind, and his thoughts began to drift.
“Bro, why is your face so red? Did you sneak some fake alcohol?”
Fang Wenjing always spoke her mind, seeing her brother’s face so red, she felt it odd.
He was fine just now, so why did he turn so red coming out to eat?
Her sister’s words snapped Fang Zhou back to reality, and looking down, he saw Chu Xinran also looking at him.
Her lips carried a hint of a smile, almost imperceptible, and ripples seemed to spread in her eyes as if a pebble had been tossed into the heart of a lake.
“I just saw that he indeed has alcohol in his room, but whether he drank it or not, I don’t know. Is he drinking to muster up some courage?”
Chu Xinran said to Fang Wenjing with a laugh, as if it were just a casual tease.
However, Fang Zhou didn’t see it that way.
She was deliberately making fun of him, suggesting he was chickening out, that he was too cowardly.
Fang Zhou shifted his gaze away from Chu Xinran, answering his sister instead: “No, it’s just that summer has arrived, and it’s a bit hot.”
“I’m going to have some fruit; you guys take your time eating.”
With that, he left the dining room and sat down in the hall.
The fruit that was originally for his sister, now half of it had ended up in his stomach.
Fang Zhou’s heart was indeed a bit restless, needing the chill of the fruit to soothe it.
Why does it feel like Chu Xinran’s level has gone up?
Whether on the island or now.
She used to be the one who would blush at the slightest romantic word.
Now, Chu Xinran’s vigor almost matched that of Qin Yun!
Fang Zhou felt he was almost unable to cope.
She was too good at leveraging her strengths, finding allure in the innocent school beauty.
When these two qualities perfectly merged, she became a vividly charming beauty.
No, this is too dangerous; he can’t be alone with Chu Xinran anymore.
After Qin Yun, Chu Xinran became the second ex-girlfriend Fang Zhou had to put on his danger list.
Fang Wenjing and the others ate slowly, taking almost more than ten minutes to finish gradually.
Chu Xinran also stood up at the right time, bidding farewell to Fang Wenjing.
“I was originally here to tutor you with your homework, but I shamelessly ended up freeloading a meal.”
“I’ll have to find an opportunity to treat you back.”
A smile appeared on Fang Wenjing’s pale little face.
She waved her hand, quickly responding: “Oh, it’s just a meal.”
“But I’d be even happier if Sister Xinran would add me on WeChat.”
96 The little Casanova finally left (2 / 2)
Chu Xinran raised her eyebrows slightly, that was exactly what she wanted to hear.
She promptly opened WeChat, flashing her QR code with a charming smile.
“Adding such a cute little sister, I’m very happy too.”
The school beauty’s smile was affable and gentle, inspiring trust at first glance.
Fang Wenjing gave a sly smile, likewise taking out her phone to scan the code.
After a ‘beep’, they had successfully added each other’s contact information.
Chu Xinran’s gaze swept around and found Fang Zhou hiding in the living room, wireless earbuds in his ears, looking unwilling to interact with anyone.
She knew Fang Zhou was avoiding her, probably out of shyness.
Since her objective was achieved, there was no need to stay any longer.
After all, if she flirted any more, someone might have a stress reaction.
Take it slow, plan it out, after all, she had already figured out his limits.
Her sister’s WeChat was added too, what else was there to worry about?
“Then I’ll be leaving first, thank you for your hospitality today.”
Chu Xinran said as she came to the door to take off her shoe covers, addressing Fang Wenjing and Aunt Wei.
“Ah, it’s so late, why not let brother drive you home?”
Fang Wenjing wanted to create an opportunity for them to be together.
Her words, however, did not get her brother’s support. Turning her head, she saw he was wearing earbuds and couldn’t hear what she was saying.
“No need to bother him, I drove here.”
Chu Xinran tossed the shoe cover into the trash bin, then jingled her car keys, casting a glance towards Fang Zhou, a slight smile curling on her lips.
“Let him rest well.”
With that, she opened the door and stepped out.
Fang Wenjing, frustrated, walked into the living room, took off Fang Zhou’s earbuds, and pulled him up.
“Sister Xinran is leaving, go see her off!”
Fang Zhou, looking bewildered, came to the door and indeed saw Chu Xinran waiting for the elevator.
Turning back, he saw his sister still inside, supervising, incessantly gesturing with her hands for him to see her off.
Fang Zhou had no choice but to follow, standing beside Chu Xinran.
“Let me take you downstairs.”
That was the best line Fang Zhou could muster after racking his brain.
Because just now, his CPU had been overwhelmed, unable to think.
“No need, my car is parked in the underground garage.”
Chu Xinran refused him for once.
Yet Fang Zhou still insisted on following her into the elevator.
“See the Buddha off to the west.”
Chu Xinran looked at Fang Zhou with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, curious to hear what he would say.
However, the guy didn’t utter a word, stubbornly following her to the underground garage without saying anything.
Chu Xinran didn’t press him, only glancing at his lower triangle area before getting into the car, recalling the firmness she had just felt.
It seemed, perhaps it was still okay?
Fang Zhou felt her gaze and stiffened up completely, turning his body to the side.
“Drive safely, and send me a message when you get home.”
It was Fang Zhou’s habit to make sure friends who visited his home or went out with him confirmed they got home safely.
Chu Xinran nodded, allowing him to go.
“I’ll let you know when I’m home.”
With a flash of the headlights, a honk of the horn, and a turn of the steering wheel, Chu Xinran drove off in her Ferrari, leaving Fang Zhou’s view.
He was left alone to silently muse: The little pervert has finally left.
