Chapter 70 - 70 70 Coming to Show Diligence to Brother
?Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Coming to Show Diligence to Brother Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Coming to Show Diligence to Brother Sheng Xian stood still for a while, looking to be stubbornly persistent, then backed down and asked, “Why?”
“Because,” Lu Jingyan paused for two seconds, raised her head with a smile, and looked at Sheng Xian, “I want to celebrate the New Year’s with you.”
Lu Jingyan liked to smile.
Her features were exquisitely crafted, especially her eyes, which were long and slender, with the inner corners drooping slightly and the outer corners lifting gently.
She looked alright when she wasn’t smiling, but once she did, her eyes would turn into crescent shapes, giving off a bewitching allure, making her appear especially seductive.
Her beauty was the kind that was rich in charm; every gesture and smile could portray “a myriad of amorous feelings” vividly.
Luckily, she naturally possessed a kind of inherent coolness in her bones, which meant that while she was charming, she wasn’t vulgar, and instead carried a playful and lively artistic vibe.
It was rare for anyone to blend two completely opposite aesthetics so well, but she managed to do it.
Sheng Xian always knew she was a stunning girl, but this was the first time he was truly dazzled by her.
This girl hardly spoke a serious word, flirting left and right, but none of it was genuine.
To her, he was no different from those men before, just a whimsical impulse.
He knew her act tonight was a ruse, yet he watched himself, fully aware, fall into the trap.
Sheng Xian quietly stared at Lu Jingyan for a few seconds, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his voice slightly hoarse, “Why did you come to me for the New Year’s?”
Lu Jingyan let out an “Ah,” seemingly stumped by the question.
Yeah, why did she come to him for the New Year’s?
It’s not like she didn’t have anyone to spend it with, Chen Kai’s party had dozens of people, it couldn’t be more lively.
Lu Jingyan thought hard for a while, like that moment in the KTV lounge, when she heard Chen Kai’s words and suddenly felt very upset, she couldn’t find an answer.
In the cold of the deep night, unable to understand why she did this, Lu Jingyan simply stopped thinking and, looking into Sheng Xian’s eyes, said bluntly, “What other reason could there be? Of course, I came to pamper my brother.”
Sheng Xian: “…”
Lu Jingyan: “I haven’t seen my brother for several days, you see. Today I happened to run into Chen Kai; he said you’re always celebrating alone. He invited you out, but you refused, so to me, of course, it’s more important to be with my brother for the New Year.”
Although it was a made-up excuse, by the end, Lu Jingyan almost believed it herself.
“So, brother,” Lu Jingyan cocked her head, “considering how much I favor love over friendship, are you going to join me in celebrating the New Year or not?”
…
Sheng Xian nearly laughed out loud.
This was the first time he saw someone accuse themselves of favoring love over friendship.
Actually, whether it was a holiday or not, he didn’t care at all.
To him, there was no difference in the three hundred sixty-five days of a year; he was either working or on his way to work.
He was used to it.
It wasn’t that nobody invited him to celebrate the holidays, aside from Chen Kai. There were colleagues from the law firm, his students, but he just couldn’t be bothered to join the festivity.
Sheng Xian looked down, silent for two seconds, “Yes.”
Lu Jingyan, not expecting Sheng Xian to agree so readily, let out a surprised “Ah.”
Sheng Xian gave her a glance.
Lu Jingyan thought he was questioning her “Ah”: “I thought I’d have to be cutesy or maybe call out ‘brother’ before you’d agree.”
The tone sounded almost disappointed.
Sheng Xian, possibly having spent too much time with this girl and influenced by her, spoke less seriously, “Then why don’t you act cute?”
No sooner had he spoken than Sheng Xian froze.
How did he manage to blurt out such a thing so impulsively?
Lu Jingyan, not expecting Sheng Xian to say that, froze a few seconds later as well.
She had almost forgotten about calling him “brother” before.
What now, was she going to be embarrassed again?
Things were fine as they were, why did she have to bring that up again?
While Lu Jingyan was pondering how to respond, Sheng Xian, as if nothing had happened, pulled out his car keys and pressed them.
The car parked at the entrance of the alley blinked its lights a few times.
“Let’s go.” Having said that, Sheng Xian took the lead and started walking towards the street.
After two seconds, Lu Jingyan followed.
After getting in the car, Sheng Xian didn’t ask Lu Jingyan where to go, just started the car.
After driving for a while, Lu Jingyan came to her senses and turned to ask, “Where are we going?”
