Chapter 194 - Actually, You"re Very Lucky
Lu Zhichen walked over quickly and stood in front of Xing Jiuan, who was in shock.
"I came to pick you up."
Li Ting looked at the two of them and smiled. "Your family is here to pick you up."
Xing Jiuan pursed her lips. "No, he"s not my family."
Lu Zhichen did not object. He looked at the man in front of him. "Thank you for taking care of Jiuan."
It was as if he had placed Xing Jiuan under his wings, making him seem like an outsider.
For some reason, Li Ting suddenly felt a little unhappy.
He felt that this should not be the case.
It was as if he was exchanging ident.i.ties with the young man who had just arrived.
It was a strange thought. The man did not speak for a moment.
Jiu Chi had already driven over.
When he saw the situation before him, although he was a little surprised by Lu Zhichen"s arrival, he seemed to have expected it.
He got out of the car.
Xing Jiuan said, "I"ll go back with him, so I won"t trouble you."
Jiu Chi only smiled. "Okay."
Lu Zhichen looked at Jiu Chi, who had suddenly appeared. There was no other expression on his face, as if Jiu Chi"s appearance could not be more ordinary.
After saying goodbye, Xing Jiuan left with Lu Zhichen.
Lu Zhichen opened the door to the front pa.s.senger seat for Xing Jiuan and closed the door after she got in. He looked at Li Ting and Jiu Chi, who were not far away, and nodded at them. Then, he walked over to the driver"s seat and drove away.
"That child, do you know her?" Li Ting"s words sounded like a question. How could Jiu Chi not know that this person already knew?
"Yes," he answered softly. However, his voice was calm and seemed a little cold.
"I was a little surprised when I heard your name was Jiu Chi previously." Li Ting"s voice was very soft.
Jiu Chi only smirked. "What"s so surprising about that?"
"Very few people use code-like names to introduce themselves.
"However, when I saw that child, I suddenly knew.
"You don"t just know her, do you?"
Jiu Chi said nothing.
"But I"m curious. She doesn"t seem to know you…" Li Ting smiled slightly. "Besides, she seemed to be closer to me, a stranger, than to you."
For some reason, Li Ting suddenly remembered the little girl looking at him with red eyes when she first came in.
Jiu Chi glanced at Li Ting and suddenly laughed.
"Actually, you"re lucky."
With that, he turned around and walked in without explaining anything to him.
"You don"t have to cook for me tomorrow morning."
Li Ting stood outside alone and looked up at the sky.
The stars were very bright. Occasionally, a breeze would blow past and the leaves would rustle.
He smiled suddenly.
"How am I lucky?" He seemed to be mocking himself.
He did not stay outside for long and returned to his room.
He would probably be leaving in the next two days.
He did not know if he could see the little girl who made him feel close to her again.
…
Lu Zhichen did not say much on the way. He handed Xing Jiuan some washed strawberries, yogurt, and snacks and drove without a word.
Xing Jiuan knew that he was probably a little angry.
Xing Jiuan was also very sorry that she had not fulfilled her promise to him.
However, when she agreed, she did not know that that person would also…
Xing Jiuan"s expression relaxed a little when she thought of Li Ting, whom she had just met.
She"d found him.
