Chapter 208: He Was Really Too Suave
“What did Xu Ye say to you just now?” Quan Jue led Chi Jiao to the dessert counter and brought her a strawberry-flavored cake.
“Nothing.” Chi Jiao took the cake and used a small spoon to dig a piece and put it into her mouth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Quan Jue leaned against the dessert counter. His handsome face was shrouded in the light, and his side profile was fantastically perfect.
He lowered his head and looked at Chi Jiao, his gaze filled with adoration.
Did this heartless little girl not know why he had come along?
In the huge hall, many girls subconsciously turned to look at him.
Even though Quan Jue was in Grade 12, he was no stranger to them.
He was both a top student and the most handsome guy in school. He was a s.h.i.+ning figure wherever he went.
“Brother Quan, look at Zou Xingxing. She’s at the entrance of the washroom.” Chi Jiao turned around and faced Quan Jue. “I feel like there’s something strange about her.”
She had been observing Zou Xingxing from the corner of her eye this entire time.
The more she looked, the more she felt that something was off with her.
Quan Jue lifted his eyes indifferently and pretended to look at the bathroom door diagonally opposite them unintentionally.
However, he could only see her back view as Zou Xingxing had turned around and entered the washroom again.
“Since you feel that there’s something strange about her, you should be more cautious.” Quan Jue lowered his head to look at Chi Jiao again. Seeing cream on the corner of her lips, he reached out with his fingers and gently wiped it away.
There was an indescribable tenderness and adoration in his action, which made the girls staring at him feel their hearts race.
—It turned out that the legendary cold and aloof school hunk could also be so gentle. He was really too suave!
…
After Xu Ye went up to the second floor, he walked to a room in the middle of the floor and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” A girl’s impatient voice came from inside.
“Your brother,” Xu Ye answered simply.
He stood at the door for almost two minutes before someone opened the door for him.
Xu Lingling was wearing pajamas and her hair was messy. She looked at Xu Ye with lifeless eyes. “Brother, didn’t I tell you? I’m going to sleep. I don’t have time to attend your birthday party.”
“Quan Jue is here,” Xu Ye said lightly.
Xu Lingling was stunned.
“He’s downstairs right now. Are you sure you want to hide in your room and sleep instead of seeing him?” Xu Ye looked deeply at her.
It was only now that he understood why Xu Lingling was so devastated by Quan Jue’s rejection.
Xu Lingling, who was usually lively and active, seemed like a completely different person now. When she didn’t go to school, she would hide at home.
Who knew that love could be so unforgettable? As if it was carved into your bones and engraved in your heart.
Xu Lingling’s huge eyes lit up. “Brother, wait for me.”
With that, she slammed the door shut.
Xu Ye walked to the railing. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it between his thin lips.
Bending over, Xu Ye casually placed his arm on the railing as he looked down at Quan Jue and Chi Jiao.
Amidst the smoke, his eyes were clouded.
At this moment, he did not notice a wisp of black smoke coming from behind him. Then, it turned into two huge hands that grabbed his ankles.
Xu Ye felt a chill on his ankles and looked down.
“F*ck!” Just as he let out a cry of alarm, the two black hands formed from the smoke grabbed his ankles and pulled upwards.
