Chapter 38 - 38 38 The Mind Not Working Well
?Chapter 38: Chapter 38: The Mind Not Working Well Chapter 38: Chapter 38: The Mind Not Working Well Chen Kai: “…”
Lu Jingyan was somewhat persistent.
Sheng Xian’s phrase “the you I knew before” tickled her curiosity like a feather brushing her heart.
She knew he had known her before, otherwise how could he possibly make her birthday the password for his mobile hotspot, but at that time she thought he had found out about her through Chen Kai and then secretly harbored a crush on her.
Now, however, it seemed not to be the case.
He must have known her a long time ago.
Lu Jingyan seriously thought about her childhood, she neither had the experience of being lost and adopted by someone for a month, nor the dramatic circumstance where she heroically saved someone being chased by an assassin.
Could Sheng Xian be deceiving her?
Lu Jingyan recalled Sheng Xian’s expression at the time.
It didn’t seem like a lie.
Just as she had thought at home before, if someone like Sheng Xian really appeared by her side, it was impossible for her to have no recollection of it.
Unless…
Lu Jingyan, completely disbelieving, paused as if petrified for a few seconds and looked up at Chen Kai, “Are you sure your cousin is human?”
Chen Kai: “?”
Lu Jingyan: “Could your cousin be some kind of alien? Or could your cousin be a ghost or specter, or perhaps an emissary from hell?”
Chen Kai: “…”
Perhaps he was referring to her previous life.
Although this guess was a bit bold, in this vast and strange world, it might actually be true.
“Or possibly a vampire…” Unable to think of any other possibilities, Lu Jingyan simply summed it up, “In short, the kind of species that has lived for thousands of years.”
“…”
Chen Kai stared at Lu Jingyan, speechless for about ten seconds, reached out to touch her forehead to make sure she wasn’t feverish, and said seriously, “I think you’re right, but I think my cousin is a god.”
Lu Jingyan blinked.
Chen Kai, as if teasing, opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally spitting out two words, “Male, god.”
“…”
Looking at Lu Jingyan, who was at a loss for words, Chen Kai drank half a cup of alcohol, “Aliens? Ghosts? Emissaries from hell? Vampires? Why don’t you say my cousin is Nuwa, who created humans, Pangu, who separated heaven and earth, or Hou Yi, who shot down the suns? Miss, you should watch fewer Korean dramas. Look at how they’re messing with your head at such a young age.”
Lu Jingyan, who was lost in her own wild thoughts at that time, didn’t realize how foolish her words had sounded until Chen Kai mentioned it, and now she suddenly felt kind of hysterical.
She stared blankly at Chen Kai, who was relentlessly teasing her, for a few seconds, “Don’t you feel cold?”
“Ah?” Chen Kai looked up at the central air conditioning above his head, “Not cold at all, I’ve had some alcohol, even feel a bit hot.”
Lu Jingyan said, “I feel a bit cold, chilled by my own bad jokes.”
Chen Kai: “…”
Lu Jingyan finished the drink in her glass, picked up her coat beside her, “I’m leaving.”
Chen Kai: “So soon?”
“Yes.” Lu Jingyan put on her coat, “Don’t want to drink with someone who can’t even understand a cold joke.”
Chen Kai: “…”
Lu Jingyan: “Makes me look like the one who’s slow on the uptake.”
Chen Kai: “…”
About fifteen minutes after Lu Jingyan left, the person Chen Kai had arranged to meet arrived.
He was bored waiting, so he started a game of Honor of Kings, but as soon as the waiter brought Sheng Xian over, Chen Kai immediately put down his phone and let his account idle in the fountain.
They talked about the divorce of Chen Kai’s little online friend’s parents.
After chatting for about an hour, they were almost finished.
Only then did Chen Kai belatedly realize, “Wow, Yan Bao was here earlier, I forgot to tell her I had arranged to meet you.”
Sheng Xian’s fingers, which were pressing on his phone, stopped.
Chen Kai: “If I had told her, she probably wouldn’t have left so early.”
Without a word, Sheng Xian finished texting at a leisurely pace, then set down his phone and slightly lifted his eyelids, “Are you very close with her?”
“Of course, why even ask.” Chen Kai, as if swearing an oath, nearly made a promise on the spot, “Lu Jingyan’s best friend is definitely me, Chen Kai!”
After a moment of thought, Sheng Xian asked, “Did something happen to her during her school days?”
Chen Kai: “Why do you ask?”
“Just asking.” Sheng Xian’s tone was very casual, “Heard it from her old classmates.”
“How do you know Yan Bao’s old classmates?”
Sheng Xian was a bit annoyed by Chen Kai’s questioning, kept silent for three seconds, then patiently said, “The one she fought with yesterday.”
Chen Kai suddenly understood, “So they were classmates, huh. But I don’t know much about Yan Bao’s school days; I was taken abroad when I was very young, and when I came back, it was directly for college entrance exams. I’m more familiar with what happened after Yan Bao’s college, everything seemed pretty normal, not much different from now.”
Chen Kai paused, then asked, “What about it? Did that classmate tell you something? Did something happen during Yan Bao’s school days?”
“…”
Looking at Chen Kai’s inquisitive expression, Sheng Xian picked up his clothes, ready to leave.
So that counted as her best friend?
“Hey, don’t leave, bro. Finish what you were saying, what’s the deal? Tell me, eh.”
Chen Kai was bothering Sheng Xian to the point of annoyance, Sheng Xian gave him a slow glance, “Aren’t you very close with her?”
PS: Christmas has passed, so Merry Christmas. I went out to celebrate last night haha, hence the late update. See you tomorrow for the rest~ Also, a special note: Miss, you should watch fewer Korean dramas. Look at how they’re messing with your head at such a young age (This sentence is meant for Lu Jingyan only, not for everyone).
