Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Zhou Shuyan: Let Shen Changze Call You Dad to Your Face Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Zhou Shuyan: Let Shen Changze Call You Dad to Your Face Zhou Shuyan’s lazy voice was slightly hoarse, as if there were tiny bubbles in it, slipping into Lu Youxi’s ears through the phone.
The phone was originally pressed against her ear, but Lu Youxi couldn’t help but pull it away a bit; her ears were burning red and hot.
Even the slightly cooler night breeze couldn’t lower the temperature on her ears.
“We’re having dinner with a few friends tonight, one of them is called Shen Changze, and he’s a bit younger than me,” Zhou Shuyan suddenly said.
Lu Youxi was puzzled. Why was Zhou Shuyan telling her this?
Lu Youxi didn’t know any of Zhou Shuyan’s friends at all and had no idea who they were.
She didn’t even know how many friends Zhou Shuyan had.
Then she heard Zhou Shuyan continue, “He said he recognized a ‘dad’ tonight.”
“Pfft!” Lu Youxi couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “What a filial son, does his real dad know?”
Although she was completely unfamiliar with this Shen Changze Zhou Shuyan mentioned, his words made her think that Shen Changze must be a bit silly.
From the other end of the phone came Zhou Shuyan’s chuckle, saying, “His real dad is very strict with him, so he definitely can’t let his dad know. But, do you want to know how he ended up recognizing someone as his dad?”
Lu Youxi thought this probably had nothing to do with her.
But somehow, she just really wanted to hear Zhou Shuyan’s voice, so she didn’t care who Shen Changze recognized as his dad.
“Go on,” Lu Youxi said, simply supporting her arm on the railing.
The air in the Imperial Capital was dry, even the wind that blew was crisp.
As a cool breeze with a hint of coolness blew, Lu Youxi heard Zhou Shuyan’s voice again from the other end of the phone, “Shen Changze likes to play with stocks in his spare time and often interacts on stock forums. Recently, someone named Hope predicted the big market trend, but Shen Changze didn’t believe it and thought the forecaster was a layman, so he made a bet. If he lost, he would call the person ‘dad.’ He lost and gained an extra ‘dad.'”
Lu Youxi’s heart skipped a beat; Zhou Shuyan couldn’t possibly know something and was testing her, could he?
What was going through this man’s mind?
It was one thing to be suspected in person, but how could he suspect something just through a phone call?
Lu Youxi now even began to doubt her own life.
“Cough.” Lu Youxi coughed, “So Shen Changze is pretty average, huh?”
“Indeed average,” Zhou Shuyan smiled, his eyes narrowing, thinking the girl just lost her composure.
Don’t think he didn’t hear how guilty her cough sounded.
“Do you want Shen Changze to call you ‘dad’ someday?” Zhou Shuyan asked with a smile.
Right after he spoke, a dull collision sound came from the other end of the phone.
Followed by Lu Youxi’s pained “hiss.”
Anyway, Zhou Shuyan didn’t think the sound was of surprise.
“What happened?” Zhou Shuyan immediately sprang up from the bed, unable to maintain the leisure he had just now.
Lu Youxi was in pain for a while before finding her voice again, “It’s nothing, my knee hit the balcony railing.”
But from the way she spoke, it seemed quite laborious and weak.
“I remember the balcony railings at Jing University’s dorms are made of steel…” Zhou Shuyan frowned.
Lu Youxi didn’t expect Zhou Shuyan to even know this, but then again, it wasn’t that surprising.
“Mhm.” Lu Youxi responded, now squatting and looking at the large bruise on her knee that had hit the railing.
“Just a moment,” said Zhou Shuyan and suddenly hung up the phone, not giving Lu Youxi any preparation.
Lu Youxi heard the “beep beep” from the phone, stunned for a while.
“He hung up just like that?” Lu Youxi muttered to herself, “Just like that?”
Considering how urgent Zhou Shuyan sounded on the phone, she thought he was really worried about her.
And then he just hung up the call?
Speechless, Lu Youxi put away her phone, her lips pouting up high, feeling stuffy and a bit upset.
She leaned on the railing to stand up and limped back into the room.
“What happened to your leg?” Mo Yuchun was reading a book and turned her head upon hearing the sound, “Weren’t you fine when you went out just now?”
“I hit the railing,” Lu Youxi still felt a bit numb in her knee, “It’ll be fine in a while.”
Just then, someone knocked on the dormitory door.
Lu Youxi was about to go open it when Xia Jinqiao, who was closest to the door, stopped her, “I’ll open it. You should sit down quickly.”
Lu Youxi sat in her chair, unable to see who was outside when she heard Xia Jinqiao’s surprised voice, “Teacher Song, Doctor Hao!”
Teacher Song was their class advisor, and Doctor Hao was the doctor from their college’s medical office.
Xia Jinqiao was a bit bewildered, what were these two doing coming to their dorm so late at night?
“Did someone get sick?”
She hadn’t heard anything!
Doctor Hao then said, “Someone asked me to come check on Lu Youxi; I heard she hurt her leg.”
Lu Youxi: “…”
Could it be Zhou Shuyan who mentioned it?
Just because she bumped her leg, having someone come over late at night seemed a bit over the top!
What exactly did Zhou Shuyan say?
No, how did Zhou Shuyan even contact the school doctor?
To have someone come over late at night to check her leg.
Originally, Lu Youxi thought it best not to inquire about Zhou Shuyan’s affairs; she wasn’t curious about his identity.
But now, Lu Youxi couldn’t help being curious.
As Teacher Song came in, they introduced, “This is Lu Youxi.”
Lu Youxi stood up, but Teacher Song hurriedly said, “You hurt your leg, don’t get up.”
Lu Youxi was quite embarrassed, “I… I just hit the railing, it’s nothing serious. It’s really trouble for you two to come over so late.”
“A hit should not be underestimated, and I heard you got in a car accident during the summer and hurt your leg; it should be checked,” Doctor Hao said. “Sit down, and I’ll take a look.”
Lu Youxi was really afraid that if Doctor Hao found out she was nearly healed, it would have been pointless.
In the dorm room, Lu Youxi wore a pair of short pajamas, so Doctor Hao could immediately see the bruising on her knee.
“Was it the same leg that was hit in your car accident?” Doctor Hao asked.
“Yes, but I’ve already completely recovered,” Lu Youxi replied.
Doctor Hao looked on as Lu Youxi asked, “Doctor Hao, how did you know I hurt my leg?”
“A old classmate of mine contacted me,” Doctor Hao said with a smile.
Lu Youxi wanted to ask if he didn’t find it strange.
But Doctor Hao smiled as if it really wasn’t anything unusual, so Lu Youxi didn’t ask.
As for Doctor Hao’s old classmate, that person was definitely around the same age as Doctor Hao.
