114: Chapter 114 "If I'm not having a good time, you won't be either!"

Halfway there, Lu Li suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qingxue asked.

"It's nothing. You go back first, I'm going to buy something."

Shen Qingxue frowned slightly.

"What are you buying?"

"Yogurt."

Lu Li jerked his chin toward the convenience store at the entrance of the residential complex.

"The ones at home are almost gone, I won't feel at ease if I don't stock up a bit."

Shen Qingxue gave an "oh" of acknowledgment, then spoke again.

"Then hurry up, give me the bear."

Lu Li handed the teddy bear over, and Shen Qingxue took it and held it in her arms, the fluffy bear's head pressing against her chin.

"Don't run around."

Shen Qingxue calmly added.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

"I'm not a three-year-old kid."

Shen Qingxue didn't reply, holding the teddy bear as she turned and walked away.

Lu Li stood in place, watching her figure disappear at the entrance of the residential complex, then turned around, with his hands in his pockets, and strolled leisurely toward the convenience store.

After entering the store, Lu Li familiarly walked to the refrigerated display case and took two boxes of the yogurt he usually drank.

Just as he was about to go to the checkout counter to pay, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Lu Li held the yogurt in one hand, took out his phone with the other, and glanced at the screen.

An unfamiliar number.

He frowned, hesitated for a moment, and still swiped to answer.

"Hello?"

"Lu Li? Is that you?"

A female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Li's frown deepened even more.

This voice... he seemed to have some impression of it, but couldn't quite tell who it was.

"Who are you?"

The other end of the phone fell silent for a second, and then that female voice sounded again, carrying a trace of disbelief in her tone.

"You don't know who I am? You deleted me, didn't even tell me when you changed your number, and I managed to find you with so much difficulty... You actually ask me who I am?"

Lu Li's brain spun rapidly, and then he suddenly remembered something.

The original body's so-called "ex-girlfriend".

What was her name again... it seemed to be called...

Chen Mengyao.

Lu Li's expression visibly darkened the moment he remembered.

Seriously, how does this woman still have the nerve to call?

In his original body's memories, when the original body was at his most down-and-out, this ex-girlfriend despised him for not making enough money, and immediately cheated on him with a seamless transition.

As for later, there was no contact.

Until he sang that song actor in the dating variety show, this woman came to backstab him once again.

If it weren't for Director Zhou helping him handle that dirt, otherwise, let alone singing one song, singing ten songs wouldn't have helped.

And now it's great, she actually still has the nerve to come looking for him.

Does this chick really think the original body was an idiot, or does she think he's an idiot?

"Chen Mengyao? What do you want with me?"

Lu Li's tone turned cold.

The other end of the phone fell silent for another second, and then Chen Mengyao's voice instantly switched, changing from the previous grievance to a coquettish reproof.

"Lu Li, don't be like this. I know it was my fault back then, but I also had my grievances..."

"Stop right there."

Lu Li interrupted her words, his tone without any fluctuation.

"I'm not interested in whatever grievances you had back then, and I don't want to hear them. If you don't have anything else, I'm hanging up."

"Wait!"

Chen Mengyao's voice became urgent, carrying a trace of panic.

"Lu Li, can we meet? Just once, I have something I want to say to you in person."

"No."

Lu Li refused cleanly and neatly.

"Say whatever you want to say right here on the phone. If you're not going to say it, I'm hanging up."

The other end of the phone fell silent.

It was quiet for several seconds, and then Chen Mengyao's voice sounded again. This time, without the previous grievance and coquettishness, her tone became much flatter.

"Lu Li, let's get back together."

Lu Li's mouth twitched, and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What did you say?"

"I said, let's get back together."

Chen Mengyao repeated it, her tone extremely certain.

It was as if by proposing they get back together, Lu Li should gratefully agree.

"I know you still have me in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have written a song like actor for me."

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then almost choked on his own saliva.

What the hell?

She thought actor was written for her? How could there be such a narcissistic person in this world.

Lu Li took a deep breath, his tone very calm.

"Chen Mengyao, you might have misunderstood. That song wasn't written for you, and it has nothing to do with you."

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time.

So long that Lu Li thought she had already hung up and was about to pull the phone away from his ear, Chen Mengyao's voice sounded again.

"Lu Li, what do you mean by that?"

This time her voice became sharp, carrying a trace of unsuppressible anger.

"I'm talking to you nicely, what are you putting on airs for here? Do you think you're so amazing just because you have a little bit of popularity now?"

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Lu Li's expression didn't change at all.

"I'm telling you, don't be ungrateful!"

Chen Mengyao's voice grew louder and sharper.

"Me taking the initiative to ask you to get back together is doing you a favor, don't be ungrateful!"

Lu Li moved the phone a little away from his ear, waiting for her to finish speaking before slowly putting it back to his ear.

"Are you done?"

"You..."

"If you're done, I'm hanging up."

"Lu Li! Just try hanging up if you dare?!"

Chen Mengyao's voice was almost screaming.

"I'm telling you, if I don't have a good life, don't even think about having one either! Aren't you just hooked up with that Shen Qingxue? In what way am I worse than her?"

"And, do you think that if I expose all those things from when you pursued me back then, you can still be as successful as you are now?"

"Don't think I'm scaring you, I mean what I say!"

After hearing all this, Lu Li didn't have any expression on his face.

He simply replied calmly,

"Suit yourself."

Then, he hung up the phone.

Pulling the phone away from his ear, he glanced at the string of unfamiliar numbers on the screen and blocked it without hesitation.

After finishing all this, Lu Li couldn't help letting out a sneer.

Still comparing herself to Shen Qingxue? She really thinks highly of herself. The original body was also blind to be able to live with such a woman.

Afterwards, he stuffed his phone back into his pocket, picked up the two boxes of yogurt, and walked to the checkout counter to pay.

Not long after, Lu Li walked out of the convenience store carrying the bag.

The night wind blew against his face, carrying a hint of coolness, pushing down some of the irritability in his heart.

To be honest, that phone call just now, although he didn't take it much to heart, it would be fake to say it wasn't disgusting.

What does "If I don't have a good life, don't even think about having one either" mean?

However, Lu Li wasn't too worried that Chen Mengyao could whip up any big waves.

After all, when the original body was with her, he was just an eighteenth-tier obscure transparent person, and even food and clothing were a problem, so what dirt was there to expose?

It was nothing more than some trivial matters between couples. Brought out into the open, aside from letting netizens eat melon for two days, it couldn't hurt him a single bit.
