128: Chapter 128 What is she planning to do, a lone man and woman in the dead of night?

Late at night.

Lu Li had just finished showering and returned to his bedroom, collapsing straight onto the bed, grabbing his phone, and getting ready to scroll through some videos before going to sleep.

The moment the screen lit up, a WeChat message popped up.

"Um... Do you have time right now?"

Lu Li froze for a moment, his finger hovering above the screen.

This... A message sent by Shen Qingxue?

No wait, there were only two walls between them, why send a message? Couldn't she just come over and knock on the door?

Unbelievable.

Lu Li thought for a moment, suddenly wearing a smile, typed two random words, and sent them over.

"Guess?"

After sending the message, Lu Li waited quietly, wanting to see how Shen Qingxue would react next.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Shen Qingxue, whose face was slightly pale, saw those two words "Guess", and almost went black in front of her eyes and fainted.

She hadn't expected her period to come a few days early, and to be this painful.

"I'm not joking with you."

Shen Qingxue took a deep breath, her fingers tapping a bit harder on the screen before sending it over.

On the other side, seeing this reply, Lu Li curled his lips, and then seriously typed a reply.

"What is it?"

After sending the message, he stared at the screen and waited for a few seconds.

Shen Qingxue's message popped up very quickly.

"If you have time, come to my room, it's easier to explain directly to you..."

Lu Li stared at this line of text, completely stunned.

Come to her room?

In the middle of the night, a lone man and woman... doesn't that seem a bit inappropriate?

His gaze subconsciously glanced towards the direction of the door, then pulled back, landing on the screen once again.

Shen Qingxue wouldn't want to...

Thinking about it, Lu Li's thoughts uncontrollably drifted off course.

He swallowed hard and tentatively typed a line of text.

"Um... Right now?"

"Yeah, hurry up."

Shen Qingxue's message was replied to almost instantly.

Lu Li stared at that line of text, his heartbeat suddenly acting up.

No, calling him to her room in the middle of the night without stating the reason, what kind of move is this?

Countless thoughts instantly flashed through his mind, every single one making his throat dry and bubbling with pink little bubbles~

"Damn! She doesn't have a crush on me, does she?"

Lu Li sat up and lay back down on the bed. After repeating this three times, he finally took a deep breath and got out of bed.

Screw it!

Even though he was still a virgin...

But if he had to lose it, and especially with Shen Qingxue...

It didn't seem entirely impossible either.

Hehe.

Lu Li's thoughts were getting more and more out of hand; if they could be projected, he probably would have already starred in eight hundred episodes of adult movies.

However, the next second...

"Calm down, calm down, Lu Li, you need to calm down."

"Shen Qingxue calling you over doesn't necessarily mean she wants to... you know."

"Maybe she just wants to chat about tomorrow's schedule, or discuss matters regarding the song."

"Right, exactly like that, don't overthink it."

Lu Li's expression suddenly turned serious, telling himself over and over again not to overthink things.

What if it turned out to be another misunderstanding?

But the problem was, a lone man and woman being called to her room in the middle of the night without a reason given...

Who wouldn't overthink in this situation?

Lu Li paced back and forth in the room twice, then suddenly stopped, put his hands on his hips, and wore a conflicted expression.

If he went directly, it would seem like he lacked restraint, and if it turned out to be a misunderstanding again, it would be awkward.

But if he didn't go, what if something important was actually going on?

And to be honest...

He really wanted to go.

If he really missed out on something, it would truly be a pity, and he would be so angry he'd bang his head against the wall.

"No way, I have to put on an act."

Lu Li secretly formulated a tactic for himself in his heart.

Act reserved first, then reluctantly agree; this would not only make him look like he wasn't someone casual, but also allow him to go over with justified reasons.

Moreover, it was best to use some abstract nonsense to cover it up first.

Perfect.

Thinking of this, Lu Li picked up his phone and started typing.

After deleting and editing multiple times, he finally brewed a wording that made it seem like he didn't want to go, yet was willing to go "reluctantly".

However, before he even finished typing the text, he began to hesitate.

Would this be too reserved?

What if Shen Qingxue got angry and really didn't let him go anymore?

Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Lu Li shook his head, shook off those messy thoughts, and pressed the send button anyway.

Whatever, rush in first and figure it out later.

Meanwhile...

Shen Qingxue curled up on the bed, her forehead pressed against the pillow, her complexion as pale as a sheet of paper.

The cramping pain coming from her lower abdomen came in waves, hurting so much that she didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

Her phone was placed right beside her pillow, and the screen lit up.

Shen Qingxue turned her head with difficulty, squinting her eyes to look at the screen.

"Haha, I saw through your trick, you definitely want to mess with..."

The rest of the words were omitted and weren't completely displayed on the phone, but she could guess the general meaning.

Does he not want to come...

Just staring at this line of text filled the bottom of Shen Qingxue's heart with a sense of disappointment and grievance.

She didn't even know what she was expecting.

Clearly, she could have just said it directly over the phone, asking Lu Li to go to the downstairs pharmacy to buy ibuprofen and sanitary pads.

Yet, she had inexplicably sent that message asking him to come to her room.

Because this way, she felt that having another person around would give her an extra sense of security...

And she thought...

She thought he would come straight over.

Shen Qingxue buried her face in the pillow, her fingers clutching the corner of the blanket tightly, the grievance in her heart growing stronger and stronger.

"Forget it."

She muttered softly, her voice muffled in the pillow and not very clear.

She reached out a trembling hand, picked up her phone, ready to say "No need".

But right at this moment.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of knocking on the door rang out.

Shen Qingxue's fingers paused, and her entire body froze.

"Knock, knock, knock."

It rang three more times.

Shen Qingxue raised her head, staring at that door, tear stains still hanging in her eye sockets.

"Hey? Are you asleep?"

Lu Li's voice came from outside the door.

"Um... I'm coming in. If you don't speak, I'll take it as your consent. If I see anything, it's none of my business, you allowed me in."

Shen Qingxue was stunned, and before she could even speak, the door was gently pushed open.

Lu Li poked half his body in, his face still carrying a trace of a shy expression.

"Ahem, I'm here. Let's make it clear first, I don't do anything illegal..."

Lu Li said with a straight face, but when his gaze landed on Shen Qingxue on the bed, his entire body instantly froze.

That's not right, what is this situation?

In the scene right now, Shen Qingxue was curled up on the bed, looking utterly pitiful.

Especially her complexion, which was almost transparently white, and the stray hairs in front of her forehead were already soaked with sweat, sticking to her pale forehead.

Her eye sockets were red, and a layer of moisture still hung on her eyelashes.

"What the fuck, what's going on here."

Lu Li was dumbfounded; why was this scene so different from what he had imagined?

Shouldn't the imagined scene be... pink bubbles flying everywhere, along with those eyes that could shoot out heart shapes?
