It was around half past twelve at night.
Luofeng called Li Jie’s father. "Uncle Li, it’s Luofeng. Here’s the situation!"
Very soon, Luofeng spelled it all out. He only ntioned that a few of them had dinner and got drunk, omitting the part about going to a bar.
"By the way, Uncle Li, do you have the contact information for Xu Shaoyuan’s and Zheng Zeyao’s parents?"
"I do. However, I’ll transfer the hotel room fees to you. Those three rascals have been too much trouble for you!" Li Bo said.
"Ah, you’re being too polite, Uncle Li. We’re good friends, and these are small matters. I still have a few things to take care of on my end. Happy New Year!"
"Sa to you!"
Luofeng quickly hung up and then called his own dad.
"You rascal, it’s New Year’s, and it’s already half past twelve. Aren’t you coming ho yet?" Luo Lin asked.
"I was just at a bar treating Li Jie and the others. They got drunk, so I arranged a hotel for them. I’m about to head back now!"
Luofeng and Luo Lin’s relationship was more like that of friends, which made their interactions very pleasant. It wasn’t the typical strained father-son dynamic where they couldn’t find common ground.
"Did you drink? If you did, call for a designated driver!"
"I didn’t drink. I just got them settled and then left," Luofeng said.
"Did you go find Bai Ningbing?"
"AHEM. I suppose so?"
"Ah?" Luo Lin practically rolled his eyes on the other end of the line. How could he not understand what that ant?
"You rascal, be careful. Safety first!"
"I know, Dad! And Bai Ningbing is the only one, really!"
"Sure, Dad believes you." Luo Lin’s voice sounded a bit odd; the words "I believe you" carried a teasing tone.
"Are there still relatives at ho?"
"Yes, there are still so here."
"Then I won’t co over!"
In that case, Luofeng figured he might as well stay and accompany Lin Ruoxi for the night.
In the morning, I can also do so exercise to keep fit. After all, the park is very close, isn’t it? HAHAHA. But who says morning exercise has to be in a park? What if the beautiful fitness instructor arranges an alternative workout?
「...」
This apartnt in Natural Residence was penthouse-level, with an interior space of over three hundred square ters—a true Large Flat. Although it only had three bedrooms, it boasted nurous supporting rooms. For instance, the master bedroom alone was over a hundred square ters, complete with a cloakroom, a bathing room, and a bathroom. It also had a large balcony. Adjacent to it were a gaming room and a projector room, allowing for TV watching and gaming all within this expansive bedroom suite. Turning right outside the bedroom door led to a fitness room. This apartnt had been specifically chosen for Lin Ruoxi.
「The next morning.」
As soon as Luofeng woke up, he saw Lin Ruoxi already making breakfast.
I have no intention of eating breakfast. For the past few days, I’ve been out shopping with Bai Ningbing and Tangya. Theoretically, my girlfriend has been with all along, right? But apart from sneaking so kisses, there haven’t been any other... activities, have there? So, this pent-up longing can only be directed towards Lin Ruoxi now. As for Su iji with the ten-year itch, her family situation is too complicated. When I don’t have ti, I really don’t have ti for that, do I? It’s simple: when you have ti, you find . But I at least know that for Su iji’s family to accept , my current capabilities are far, far from adequate. After learning more, I realized they are a truly prominent family. Otherwise, why would they keep such a tight watch on her? Still, he had indeed experienced what it was like to be with such a young lady from a wealthy family.
Their morning workout consisted of three parts and took a total of an hour and twenty minutes. Luofeng was quite tired, and even Lin Ruoxi, the fitness instructor, was exhausted. They both freshened up in the bathroom.
Lying on the couch, Luofeng checked Monts Circle. To his surprise, he saw a post from Bai Lu.
Bai Lu: This is the freshest lettuce from Shu City, cultivated hydroponically without any residue, thus eliminating pesticide contamination. It also tastes excellent.
A video was attached below. Luofeng watched the video. It was indeed a short clip about soilless lettuce cultivation.
Luofeng liked Bai Lu’s post on Monts Circle. Then he called Bai Lu.
About ten seconds later, Bai Lu answered Luofeng’s call.
"Student Egret, Happy New Year!" Luofeng greeted her warmly.
Over the phone, Bai Lu, who was usually quiet, couldn’t remain silent. "Student Luo, Happy New Year to you too!"
"By the way, I saw the soilless cultivated lettuce you posted on Monts Circle. Did you find it?" Luofeng asked.
Bai Lu’s voice held a hint of happiness. "Yes, I discovered it yesterday, made an on-site inspection, and brought back one kilogram of samples. I tasted it this morning, so I posted about it on Monts Circle!"
Bai Lu continued, "This soilless cultivation project is run by a professor at Shu City Agricultural University. He knows about White Wing and how we help underprivileged students in the area, so he’s willing to collaborate and sell a portion of the lettuce to us!"
"Also, the professor’s lettuce is mainly supplied to high-end Western restaurants and is priced at six yuan for half a kilogram. Student Luo, what do you think?"
"Do you think it’s delicious?" Luofeng asked.
"It’s really delicious!"
"Then there’s no problem. We at White Wing will choose it, and I’ll notify Gu Yongjie later," Luofeng said.
"Alright!" Bai Lu replied.
Luofeng presumably hung up. Bai Lu’s phone showed the call had ended. Yet, she clutched it, and as if he could still hear, words began to tumble out, haltingly at first.
"Student Luo, I’m so happy you called. Actually, the post I made on Monts Circle was set to be visible only to you." Her voice was low.
"Student Luo, I really miss you!" she whispered, her voice even softer now. "Student Luo, I wish school would start soon. I really want to eat across from you again. I miss seeing you so much! I... I really want to hold your hand too. It must feel so warm, mustn’t it? I know I’m not worthy of you, but I just can’t help thinking about it! Actually, I... I also want to... I want to hug you! Whether you pity or feel sorry for , I still feel so lucky! Luofeng, can I hug you? Even if just once, even if just for a second, I..." Her voice trailed off.
I’m so weak, she berated herself silently. I only dare to say these things after the call is over!
Bai Lu quietly opened the cara app on her phone, switched to the front-facing cara, looked at her reflection for a mont, then closed the app.
She stood in the cold wind, hesitating to go back inside.
