Chapter 135 - 135 129 I Feel Im Favored Again

Chapter 135: Chapter 129 I Feel I’m Favored Again Chapter 135: Chapter 129 I Feel I’m Favored Again It felt as if I were being cursed at.

Utterly stifling.

Lu Jingyan roughly skimmed through a few comments, then began to feel the blood rushing to her head, even contemplating making a burner account to go argue with people for three hundred floors. She angrily put down her phone, took a deep breath, and forced herself to be somewhat rational, not to stoop to the level of those people online.

After cooling down a bit, Lu Jingyan picked up her phone and tapped into Sheng Xian’s WeChat.

She pressed the screen twice and suddenly remembered that Sheng Xian wasn’t like her, working in this circle. He usually found out about things much quicker and perhaps he was still unaware of the situation.

Yet she also worried that someone among his friends had relayed the news to him.

Lu Jingyan hesitated for a while, then sent a rather cute emoticon.

Sheng Xian didn’t seem busy at the moment, replying quite promptly, “What’s up?”

Lu Jingyan: “It’s nothing.”

Separated by the phone, Lu Jingyan couldn’t read the situation on Sheng Xian’s side. She thought for a moment and asked, “Are you busy?”

Sheng Xian: “No.”

Sheng Xian: “At home.”

Lu Jingyan didn’t reply to the message and directly made a video call instead.

Sheng Xian had just finished showering. Seeing the incoming video call, he instinctively wanted to hang up and send a “Wait a moment.”

Just as his fingertip was about to press the red hang-up button on the screen, the suggestion Zhuang Chen made at his place that morning flashed through his mind—”Why don’t you be a bit more flirtatious?”

“I feel that girls nowadays quite like boys with this sort of vibe.”

Sheng Xian thought for two seconds and his fingertip landed on the green answer button next to it.

The video connected, and Lu Jingyan’s eyes were glued to the phone screen, trying to catch some cues from Sheng Xian’s demeanor.

However, what she saw was Sheng Xian standing in the bathroom, shirtless, with a towel in his right hand, bowing his head to dry his hair.

Lu Jingyan, watching the scene in the video, was stunned for a moment: “…”

Two seconds passed, and Lu Jingyan blinked, regaining her composure.

In the video, Sheng Xian wasn’t looking at the phone screen, seemingly completely unaware of what was happening.

Lu Jingyan’s gaze silently drifted from the top of the screen to the bottom, then she pondered whether to remind him.

Just then, as Sheng Xian, who had partially dried his hair, tossed the towel aside and lifted his head.

He saw the phone screen, clearly startled for a moment.

Now, there was no need for Lu Jingyan’s friendly reminder as their eyes met through the phone.

Sheng Xian was silent for two seconds, looking quite embarrassed, he cleared his throat, “I didn’t look carefully, thought it was a regular call.”

“…”

“Wait for me, I’ll put on some clothes.” Saying this, Sheng Xian bent down to pick up a shirt, flung it behind him, slipped his arms through, and then began fastening the buttons from bottom to top.

Lu Jingyan, watching the dynamic scene on her phone, was half a beat late before she spoke out, “…Oh.”

Sheng Xian’s fingers were beautiful, and the action of buttoning wasn’t too fast or too slow. Lu Jingyan’s gaze couldn’t help but stick to his fingers.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was the one who had made the video call, and moreover so suddenly, she might have been a little suspicious that Sheng Xian was deliberately trying to seduce her.

Sheng Xian nonchalantly buttoned up to the third button below his collar, then lifted his eyelids and looked at the phone video, “Did you need something?”

With such an interruption, Lu Jingyan completely forgot the excuse she had just thought up.

Although Sheng Xian didn’t rush her, the urgency in her heart prompted a somewhat hasty response, “There really are eight of them.”

“Hmm?” Sheng Xian paused in the act of brushing his hair in the video; after two seconds, he realized what she meant by those words and slowly looked her in the eyes.

The moment the words left her mouth, Lu Jingyan had second thoughts, but when she tried to retract them, she could only muster up the strength to swallow back the words “abdominal muscles” into her stomach.

But even without those two words, the meaning was unaffected.

Lu Jingyan expressionlessly locked gazes with Sheng Xian for a while, she was the first to look away, coolly gliding over the topic, “Do you have plans tomorrow evening?”

“Not much, what’s up?”

“I feel like having noodles.”

Sheng Xian paused for a moment, chuckled after two seconds, “Alright, should I pick you up tomorrow?”

“No need, I’ll drive.”

“Fine, then I’ll get off work earlier tomorrow.”

“No need to be too early, I might have to work overtime.”

Sheng Xian chuckled softly, “Okay.”

Lu Jingyan felt that Sheng Xian seemed unaware of the messy things on the internet. After a moment of silence, feeling there was nothing else to say, he spoke up, “Then I’m hanging up.”

Sheng Xian hummed in response just as Lu Jingyan was about to hang up the video call, and suddenly called out to her, “Little Fish.”

Lu Jingyan stopped what she was doing and looked at Sheng Xian on her phone, “Huh?”

Through the phone, Sheng Xian gazed intently into her eyes, which were deep and shadowy.

Feeling inexplicably nervous under his gaze, Lu Jingyan was just about to divert the atmosphere by asking what was wrong.

The person in the video spoke up, his voice light and slow, “Your ears are red.”

Words died on Lu Jingyan’s lips as she opened and closed her mouth at Sheng Xian in the video; after two seconds, she quickly hung up.

Throwing her phone aside, Lu Jingyan swiftly burrowed into her covers.

Thinking back to Sheng Xian leisurely fastening his buttons, she curled her toes.

Then, recalling the image of Sheng Xian with his upper body bare, she also hid her head, which was sticking out, under the covers.

By the time Lu Jingyan poked her head out from under the covers, it was almost half an hour later; she was still hung up on that internet matter, but couldn’t help glancing at the trending searches again.

Sheng Xian was still being criticized, and after a quick glance, Lu Jingyan hit exit.

Although Sheng Xian probably didn’t know about it yet, she still felt a bit sad for him.

She really wanted to comfort him.

How could she comfort him without letting him know about those broken things on the internet?

Lu Jingyan pondered for a while, fiddled with WeChat, and opened Sheng Xian’s chat.

She double-tapped his profile picture, and a line of text appeared on the screen: I patted Sheng Xian.

Sheng Xian didn’t react, and Lu Jingyan continued to pat, tapping several times until a new message appeared on the screen.

Sheng Xian: “?”

Lu Jingyan didn’t answer him and kept patting.

Perhaps because she had tapped so many times, Sheng Xian finally understood her intention and tapped her back.

…

After Sheng Xian had patted Lu Jingyan back, he saw a line of text jump onto the screen: I patted “Lu Jingyan,” and she called me “brother.”

Then, beneath a small line of gray text, a new message came in.

Lu Jingyan: “Brother, good night.”

Sheng Xian stared at the screen for a noticeable second, then chuckled softly.

Sheng Xian: “Good night, Little Fish.”

Sheng Xian: “Cover yourself well with the blanket.”

Lu Jingyan replied with a bouncing little white rabbit.

Sheng Xian couldn’t help but chuckle again. He raised his hand to touch the little white rabbit on the head, as if he was gently patting her head through it.

Exiting Lu Jingyan’s WeChat, Sheng Xian opened Zhuang Chen’s chat.

Sheng Xian: “Suddenly realized, you quite understand girls.”

Zhuang Chen: “?”

Zhuang Chen: “What do you mean I understand girls?”

Zhuang Chen: “Uh? Is there something going on with the hair? How did you do it?”

Sheng Xian replied to Zhuang Chen nonchalantly, “Just did what you said, flirted a little.”

Zhuang Chen: “And then?”

Sheng Xian savored the words “brother” that Lu Jingyan had just sent, stifling the smile at the corner of his mouth, and typed a few taps single-handedly on the phone.

“Then,”

Sheng Xian deliberately took a deep breath before sending out the rest of the sentence:

“I feel like I’m spoiled again.”
