Chapter 273: Zhao Xiaoqing’s incoming call 2

It’s her. Why would she call me?

Leng Xuan touched his nose with his left hand, his face exhibiting indifference as he said, "Oh, what’s up?"

Zhao Xiaoqing, who was sitting on a sofa in some makeup shop, felt quite uncomfortable at the sound of such indifferent tone coming from the other end of the phone. What the heck, she was a beauty, after all, reaching out to call him was already quite the favor, and yet he had such an attitude. If it were any other man, wouldn’t they be overjoyed? Suppressing a snort, she realized she needed something from him, so she couldn’t exactly lose her temper. Purposely making her voice coquettish, she asked, "What are you doing right now?"

Leng Xuan said, "Nothing much."

Zhao Xiaoqing said, "What do you mean by ’nothing much’?"

Leng Xuan found it amusing internally, this girl, what’s with trying to make small talk? There must be something fishy. He cut to the chase, "Just spit it out, what do you want?"

Zhao Xiaoqing’s secret thoughts had been guessed by Leng Xuan, which made her face flush red. With a giggle, she said, "You’re pretty smart, aren’t you? Okay, I’ll just say it then. Are you free tonight?"

Leng Xuan was taken aback. What did this girl want with him asking if he was free tonight? Was she asking him on a date? However, on second thought, it didn’t seem likely; after all, he had only met this girl once, and it seemed she still harbored some grudge about the incident in the hospital elevator yesterday. Although he was curious, Leng Xuan wasn’t the type to pry too much. Remembering that Pang Shanshan wanted him to join her for dinner tonight, he said, "I’m not free tonight!"

Zhao Xiaoqing asked, "Then when are you free?"

Leng Xuan, feeling frustrated, said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Zhao Xiaoqing replied, "Hey, it’s nothing. I heard from my little brother that you’ve been taking good care of him at school, so I wanted to invite you to dinner, to thank you."

"Is that so?" Leng Xuan wasn’t convinced it was as simple as that. He responded, "There’s no need for dinner, I didn’t really take much care of him, just occasionally helping out a classmate is no big deal. Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up then. I have to get to class."

"Wait!" Zhao Xiaoqing quickly stopped Leng Xuan from hanging up the phone, revealing her true colors, indignantly saying, "Why are you like this? I’m trying to kindly offer you dinner, and here you are, dodging and refusing. How can you be so disrespectful? Hmph, believe it or not, I will spill your secrets?"

Leng Xuan felt a bit dizzy at that. This girl was too much, wasn’t she? Although annoyed, he feigned ignorance on the surface, "What secrets do I have?"

"It’s about the secret of healing through massage," Zhao Xiaoqing said. She didn’t actually know Leng Xuan’s status as a Cultivator; she just saw that Leng Xuan didn’t want others to know about this secret, so she was making a big deal out of nothing.

Leng Xuan wasn’t really afraid of Zhao Xiaoqing divulging this secret, as most people wouldn’t believe it upon hearing it anyway. However, it’s always better to be cautious—the last thing he wanted was for someone to guess his true identity. After all, it was just a dinner, what’s the big deal? Reluctantly and somewhat frustrated, he said, "Fine, I’ll call you when I’m free, okay?"

Zhao Xiaoqing replied, "That’s not good enough. What if you keep saying you’re not free? Hmph, you need to set a time for me."

Leng Xuan actually did have that idea and was caught off guard when she voiced it out first. Helpless, he agreed to meet her and see what she was up to, so he said, "Fine, then. How about tomorrow?"
