Chapter 929: A Familiar Brother

“I told them I saw a familiar brother, so I came over to say hi.”

“Cough…”

Yaen Chi’s earlier cough was a fake one to cover up the awkwardness, but now it’s genuine.

He’s just a “familiar brother.”

The little girl really knows how to hit where it hurts.

Yaen Chi wasn’t sure whether to be angry or amused, his eyes slightly curved as he looked at her with warmth, “Alright, you said hi, go ahead, don’t keep them waiting.”

“Then I’m leaving.”

“Hmm.”

Ye Wanting did leave, but after walking a few steps, she turned back.

Yaen Chi raised his eyebrows at her, “It’s fine, go ahead, brother’s watching you leave.”

Ye Wanting’s face flushed inexplicably, hugged the books in her arms tightly, and ran away quickly.

The streetlight on the path shone on her, as she trod through a pool of warm yellow light, her dress hem was gently lifted by the breeze, and her high ponytail bounced as she ran.

She really is just a little girl.

Yaen Chi lit another cigarette, after taking the first puff, it never left his lips; too lazy to take it down, he simply stuffed both hands into his pockets, slightly raised his head, looking at the leaves overhead.

Every time he smoked, his thin lips clamped the cigarette and moved slightly, and the jawline was taut.

He called Xu Shu, the ringtone almost finished when it was picked up.

“How much longer, hurry up and come out.”

Xu Shu: “What mischief have you made again?”

“The way you said that,” Yaen Chi pushed his tongue against the inside of his mouth, “Can’t brother do something good for a change?”

“You?” Xu Shu followed up with a couple of laughs.

That hurt more than direct mockery.

“Don’t doubt it, there’s really something.”

Yaen Chi looked ahead, in the direction Ye Wanting had run off, “Just let go of a little white rabbit.”

Xu Shu couldn’t be bothered to respond, “Drinking is out, treating me to a late-night snack is fine.”

“Alright, I’ll watch you eat, you watch me drink.”

“I have two more cases to finish, then I’ll be down.”

“Okay.”

Yaen Chi hung up the call.

When he was on his third cigarette, he finally saw Xu Shu coming out, taking off the white coat, wearing a white shirt and grey trousers, with glasses perched on his nose, hair falling onto his brow bone, tall and straight, with sharp angular features.

Looks quite presentable.

Yaen Chi got in the car first, Xu Shu opened the passenger door and sat inside.

“Jiaojiao left, right?

I’m calling Brother Yan out.”

Yaen Chi glanced sideways at him, “If you can get him out, I’ll give you credit.”

Xu Shu made a phone call to Bo Yanching, unsurprisingly, after a few words, he directly hung up the call, more like he couldn’t be bothered to listen and forcibly cut it off.

“What did he say?”

Xu Shu’s face looked sour, “He said it’s too late, not coming out.”

Yaen Chi chuckled, resting his elbow on the window ledge, brushing his chin, “Keeping chaste for Jiaojiao?”

“He actually said that, and that he won’t associate with our rotten bunch.”

Xu Shu pushed up his glasses, “Drop me off at the next junction.”

Yaen Chi’s eyelid twitched, “What are you doing?”

“I don’t plan to mix with you either, I’m a pure white lotus, don’t corrupt me.”

“Quit pretending in front of brother, you take off your white coat and you’re a big bad wolf, really think no one knows your true self, no wonder Tingting is scared of you outside the hospital.”

Xu Shu pressed his finger against the bridge of his glasses, turned his head to look out the window, the half-open car window reflected his face, the eyes beneath the glasses holding an inscrutable emotion.

“Ha.”

He cursed at someone, “Ungrateful, can’t be trusted.”

…

Bo Yanching indeed couldn’t be bothered with them, watching the time, he called Nan Jiaojiao.
