Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Lingering Spirit
"She’s going?" His sharp brows knitted gently together, "You agreed?"
"From what you’re saying, you want me to refuse?" Jiang Li twirled the lollipop in his mouth and lifted the corners of his eyes to glance at Bo Jingshen, "With all the drama in the city now, you don’t want her to go out and clear her mind?"
Jiang Li was already somewhat displeased with Bo Jingshen because of all the issues between him and Su Lu, and had it not been for him being a close friend, Jiang Li would have definitely pointed at him and angrily cursed him as a scumbag.
In fact, even though he was a close friend, Jiang Li had already cursed him out like that.
Having cursed him and still feeling unsatisfied, Jiang Li still found Bo Jingshen somewhat disagreeable to look at, hence the sidelong glances.
"..." Bo Jingshen’s eyes were downcast, "Her current physical condition might not be suitable for long travels."
His voice was without a hint of fluctuation, which gave Jiang Li a sense of déjà vu.
It felt like he was suddenly back to the time when he first met Bo Jingshen, who was just as indifferent back then, his expression uninvolved and his voice cold without modulation.
"I’ll be accompanying her as well, don’t worry, I’ll take care of her." Jiang Li crunched through the lollipop with a crack, and began to chew noisily, then he took out another lollipop, peeled off the wrapper, and popped the candy into his mouth.
Bo Jingshen: "Since when did you become such a candy lover."
"Mind your own business," Jiang Li retorted with a pout, "As for you, you’re living such a bitter life, you should have some candy yourself."
Jiang Li didn’t really like candy either, but Ying Xi, due to irregular habits and intensive training, was very thin and probably had low blood sugar; Jiang Li had once witnessed him standing up too quickly and staggering.
So, he bought loads of candies, cookies, and snacks in preparation; having bought so much, Jiang Li would have some himself now and then.
Jiang Li: "About those rotten news stories, my brother is already on it. Does Gu Xin really deserve so much news coverage? The behind-the-scenes manipulator is quite a big shot; my brother checked, and it’s a Beijing handprint, a significant one at that."
Bo Jingshen’s expression didn’t change, still cool and detached, and after hearing these words, he just gave a cold laugh.
Without any surprise, it seemed more like he had guessed it already.
Jiang Li said, "Anyway, after this, you can follow up with my brother, I’m going to have fun with the training team."
He was used to being irresponsible anyway. And Jiang Li felt like this was close to being responsible, as the club was his project...
Jiang Li didn’t wait for Bo Jingshen’s response. The guy seemed to become more and more silent, truly reminiscent of the past; Jiang Li always felt like he was seeing the cold and stern Bo Jingshen from a few years ago.
To be honest, when he first met Bo Jingshen, he was like that, and Jiang Li gradually got used to it, but now that he had reverted to that, it was not so easy for Jiang Li to get used to again.
So, he was a bit restless, and before leaving, Jiang Li thought he wouldn’t speak again.
But unexpectedly, when he was at the door, he heard Bo Jingshen say in a low voice, "Help me take care of her."
"Oh! Don’t worry!" Jiang Li readily agreed.
Only... taking care of Su Lu didn’t seem to become Jiang Li’s job.
Someone else was taking it more seriously.
"Xiao Yi, don’t busy yourself," Su Lu said, "Sit down for a while."
Su Yi had been running around since they entered the airport lounge.
Though he grew up in the Su Family where he hadn’t suffered much in his life.
But Su Yi was quite caring, pouring warm water, peeling fruit, and fetching the air-conditioning blanket...
"No way," Su Yi said, his expression was utterly serious, "I was instructed before coming here that if I don’t take good care of you, big brother... he..."
At that point, Su Lu understood.
This was probably not just an instruction, but a threat.
"I’m really fine, you should rest a bit," Su Lu said.
It was then that Su Yi finally settled down to sit. He seemed to have become good friends with Ying Xi at some point, as the two of them picked up their phones and immediately started a game.
When Su Lu first walked into West Suburb Airport, she actually felt slightly uneasy because the last time she came here was with Bo Jingshen.
Moreover, West Suburb Airport mostly accommodates private planes, and Su Lu instantly thought of that sleek Gulfstream G650.
But she comforted herself, thinking she was probably just overthinking it.
That was until she saw the same crew members from last time, Su Lu even remembered the captain’s name, Yan Sui.
Yan Sui, in his deep blue uniform with his cap tucked under his arm, came walking up cheerily.
"Yo, Li," Yan Sui said with a smile, coming over and putting an arm around Jiang Li.
Ying Xi, who had been focusing intently on the screen, moving his long fingers rapidly to control the game, suddenly stopped. His slender, cool eyes abruptly looked up, directing his gaze at Yan Sui’s hand on Jiang Li’s shoulder.
The screen suddenly went dark, the game already over, and Su Yi, as a teammate, was left in the lurch.
"Hey?" Su Yi was somewhat incredulous, could Ying Xi actually mess up? This was a professional player, and not just any player, but the cream of the crop.
Even though the game they were playing wasn’t Ying Xi’s best, professional players often excel in many games due to their natural talent and skills, so they usually play other games quite well too.
"Long time no see," Jiang Li said with a smile, seemingly not too comfortable with Yan Sui’s sudden embrace, discreetly keeping his distance.
Yan Sui didn’t think too much about it; his gaze shifted and saw Su Lu, his eyebrows lifting, "Miss Su, we meet again."
Su Lu’s complexion turned a shade paler; seeing Yan Sui made everything clear to her.
Why the change in plans, why the departure from West Suburb Airport, and even why Ying Xi’s few teammates were also benefiting from this, not having to take commercial flights, but instead getting to ride on a private jet...
It wasn’t hard to understand.
Su Lu pursed her lips and nodded at Yan Sui as a greeting.
Su Yi was no longer in the mood to play the game, as he noticed the color drained from Su Lu’s face in an instant.
"What’s wrong?" Su Yi asked.
Su Lu shook her head slightly, "Nothing, nothing’s wrong."
Su Yi almost believed her, just almost.
But the next second, Su Yi’s voice went low, he gritted his teeth and hissed through clenched teeth, "Nothing my ass! Su Lu, do you think you’re fooling a naive kid? I’m not blind..."
Before Su Lu could react to why Su Yi suddenly got angry, she followed his gaze to a certain direction.
And she saw the man who had just walked in, slender yet still possessing a handsome visage.
Su Yi had also heard about Bo Jingshen from Su Zhe, so he harbored some hostility towards him, "Why does he never seem to disappear!"
