Zhou Li said, "Brother, it seems like you’ve met him before!"
"I’ve met him?" Zhou Jingpeng pondered for a moment. Among his sister’s classmates who had cars and he had met, he really couldn’t recall anyone. Moreover, the wealthy ones were mostly female students, and Zhou Li rarely interacted with the boys. He forced a smile and said, "You little rascal, asking someone to drive over to pick us up, isn’t that quite troublesome? It’s not very nice. We can just take the bus."
"Brother..." Zhou Li suddenly lowered her head, playing with the hem of her clothes, and said with a shy face, "He, he is my boyfriend."
"What?" Zhou Jingpeng was truly startled this time and said, "Sis, when did you start dating?"
Zhou Li’s face was flushed, but since Leng Xuan had told her to do so, in order to prevent her lifelong happiness from being arranged by her parents, she had no choice but to follow his instructions. She said in a low voice, "It’s been a while now. Brother, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about this. You, you won’t be mad at me, right?"
Zhou Jingpeng would be surprised if he weren’t bothered, thinking ’This little girl, isn’t she trying to trick me? Now that dad and the others are here, you choose this moment to tell me you’re dating. How am I, as your brother, supposed to explain this? And then, what were dad and the others going to think?’
He gave a bitter smile and then thought about how his sister had started crying when she heard Feng Gui and the others were coming. He feared that she really might be in a premature relationship and blamed himself for not being attentive enough. If he had known, he wouldn’t have let their dad come...
"Sis, quickly call your... ahem, call your friend and tell him not to come at any cost." Zhou Jingpeng handed his cell phone to his sister with a sense of urgency.
Zhou Li’s lips pursed slightly, as if she was about to cry again, and said, "Brother, do you also want me to be arranged by the family?"
Zhou Jingpeng was taken aback and couldn’t say a word, and the siblings remained silent for a long time.
"Thump thump!" Suddenly, there was a knocking sound from outside!
In fact, the door wasn’t closed, and the person who knocked was already standing at the doorway, leaning casually against it, his posture elegant and extraordinarily graceful.
"Ah? You..." When Zhou Li saw him, she was immediately startled, her little heart pounding rapidly!
Zhou Jingpeng turned his head to look and saw a young man wearing a white shirt with slightly rolled-up sleeves, slim-fit trousers below, and hair that looked freshly washed and styled from a salon, standing there looking like a celebrity. At first glance, he was indeed very handsome.
Could this be his sister’s boyfriend?
No wonder his sister had fallen for him!
Of course, this young man was none other than Leng Xuan. Seeing Zhou Jingpeng, a flash of something different seemed to cross his eyes, but it quickly vanished. With a slight smile, he walked in, extended his hand, and said, "Brother, hello, my name is Leng Xuan! Sorry for the intrusion, it’s quite presumptuous of me."
Because Leng Xuan’s arrival was so sudden, Zhou Jingpeng wasn’t sure how to react to him for a moment. He shook his hand expressionlessly and upon taking a closer look at Leng Xuan’s smiling face, he felt a jolt throughout his body and stammered, pointing at him, "You... you..."
"Brother, what’s wrong?" Zhou Li didn’t expect her brother to be so shocked upon seeing Leng Xuan and was naturally very puzzled.
Leng Xuan, however, had a look of calm indifference, without any change!
After a while, Zhou Jingpeng barely managed to control his emotions. Looking at Leng Xuan’s calm expression, he felt it didn’t quite add up, thinking to himself, "Is it him? How could he appear here? Impossible, I must have mistaken him for someone else. There are many people who look alike in this world. Such coincidences don’t happen. It can’t be him! Yet, faces can be similar, but those eyes..."
