Jiang Yu was close to him. When she got home, she felt sticky and uncomfortable, so she went to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
When she came out of the shower, Mo Long had already gotten off work and was sitting on the sofa.
“Why are you the only one back? Where’s grandpa?” Jiang Yu asked.
Mo Long said, “Grandpa asked if there was a pet shop near Teng Yi’s company. Teng Yi said there was, so Grandpa followed him to buy things for ball-ball.”
“It seems that Grandpa really likes ball-ball.” Jiang Yu smiled.
She walked to Mo Long’s side and lay in his arms.
The pleasant smell of shower gel drifted into Mo Long’s nose. He reached out and touched Jiang Yu’s wet hair. He frowned and asked, “Why don’t you blow-dry your hair?”
Jiang Yu coquettishly clung to him and said, “I don’t want to blow-dry it. It’s too troublesome. Just let it dry naturally.”
Mo Long disagreed and said, “Stay there and don’t move. I’ll go get the hairdryer.”
With that, Mo Long went to the room upstairs to get the hairdryer. After plugging it in, he dried Jiang Yu’s hair.
A sudden clap of thunder flashed outside. A moment later, a sound was heard. “Boom –”
Following that, the rain poured down in torrents.
Jiang Yu’s phone screen lit up at that moment.
She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Lu Qi: “I have arrived home safely.”
Jiang Yu smiled and replied with an “Okay”.
Mo Long was drying her hair behind her. Seeing that she was smiling so happily, he asked, “What are you smiling so happily about?”
Jiang Yu told Mo Long about how she and Lu Qi met Lu Qi’s idol, Xue Ran, while they were shopping today.
Mo Long knew about Xue Ran. He was the captain of a popular male band in an entertainment company that he had invested in.
Jiang Yu seemed to have ignited the gossipy soul in her heart. She asked, “Does Qiqi like Xue Ran?”
Mo Long could not help but laugh. He said, “Maybe it’s just the love of fans for their idols.”
“Although she said so, I don’t believe it,” Jiang Yu mumbled. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Lu Qi. “How does it feel to go home with Xue Ran today?”
Unexpectedly, Lu Qi didn’t reply to the message and directly called her.
Jiang Yu picked up the phone and was so scared by Lu Qi’s deafening voice that she almost dropped her phone on the ground.
“Xiao Yu! It’s really terrible to go home with Xue Ran!” Lu Qi shouted.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yu asked in confusion.
Lu Qi said, “Do you know what a deer bump is? I was sitting in the car with Xue Ran, and my heart was about to jump out of my throat. I didn’t even hear what he said to me clearly! When I finally calmed down, I was already home! Oh my God, I feel terrible this time!”
Jiang Yu could feel Lu Qi’s breakdown, so she comforted her, “It’s okay, just try not to be nervous next time.”
“There won’t be a next time!” Lu Qi screamed, “There won’t be a next time! It’s not like I can run into my idol every day when I’m shopping, and Xue Ran must be looking down on me now!”
“Why would he look down on you?” Jiang Yu laughed and said, “He clearly said that you’re very cute.”
“He’s not talking about me, he’s talking about the lantern that I’m holding!” Speaking of this, Lu Qi was even sadder.
Jiang Yu didn’t know how to comfort Lu Qi anymore, so she could only look at Mo Long for help.
Mo Long deliberately didn’t look at her and kept blowing her hair.
Helpless, Jiang Yu could only ask, “Qiqi, do you like Xue Ran? I’m serious. Don’t use the excuse of a fan to avoid me anymore.”
On the other end of the phone, Lu Qi was silent for a while before she slowly said, “Um…”
The sound was very soft, but Jiang Yu heard it.
“I’ve already said that you like him, but you always refuse to admit it,” Jiang Yu said.
Lu Qi felt wronged and said, “I just want to save face…”
“I want you to tell me, not tell him. What are you afraid of?” Jiang Yu said.
Lu Qi felt even more wronged and said, “Okay, Xiao Yu… I know I’m wrong.”
Jiang Yu was not angry at Lu Qi. She said, “I don’t care about that. There’s no need to apologize… If you still want to see Xue Ran again, I can think of a way to help you ask him out.”
Lu Qi quickly said, “No, there’s no need. It’s better not to disturb him!”
“It’s just a meal. It’s nothing,” Jiang Yu said.
“No, he still has a job after the new year, let him rest at home.” Lu Qi was very considerate and generous.
