“Brother Lu, could you lend me your Chinese workbook?” Ye Qingyang asked. “I want to take it to make a copy. That way the teacher won’t scold me tomorrow.”
Lu Jingcheng: ???
He was completely confused. Hadn’t he already given his workbook to Ye Qingyang? Why was he still talking about making copies?
Lu Jingcheng wanted to ask, but he did not know how to start. The expression on his face instantly became a little strange.
Seeing that he neither agreed nor refused, Chen Wei urged, “What’s so hard about that? Just lend it to him.”
Lu Jingcheng, who had no workbook left to lend: …
Lu Jingcheng, who had already placed the book on Ye Qingyang’s desk earlier: …
He really could not hold it in and tried to probe indirectly. “You just now…”
After saying three words, he swallowed the rest.
How was he supposed to ask?
Ask what?
Anything he asked would expose him!
He had placed the nameless workbook on Ye Qingyang’s desk while Ye Qingyang was away precisely so he could do a good deed without leaving his name attached, making it look like it had nothing to do with him.
If he asked now, wouldn’t he basically be confessing on the spot?!
So Lu Jingcheng coughed and said calmly, “My workbook’s already lent out.”
Chen Wei looked puzzled. “Who did you lend it to?”
“Why do you care who I lent it to!” Lu Jingcheng snapped gruffly. “I lent it out, that’s all!”
Chen Wei nodded half-heartedly, still not understanding what he was getting at, and pulled out his own workbook.
“Here. Take mine and go make a copy.”
Lu Jingcheng: ??? Who said he could lend his book to Ye Qingyang?!
Was he dead or something?!
Lu Jingcheng angrily ground his teeth.
Seeing the changes in expression on his face, Ye Qingyang laughed inwardly but kept a straight face.
Chen Wei said with a grin, “But I have a condition.”
“You have a condition?!” Lu Jingcheng was stunned. He actually had the nerve to set conditions?!
Wasn’t helping others a traditional virtue?!
And he wanted conditions for it!
Send him back to kindergarten to start over!
Curious, Ye Qingyang asked, “What condition?”
“Why did you suddenly delete my WeChat? Add me back—and while you’re at it, remove me from the blacklist in your livestream room.”
Lu Jingcheng: …Hah. Nice dream. Pure fantasy. Quite the imagination!
He looked at Ye Qingyang, waiting for his answer.
Of course Ye Qingyang knew exactly what he was thinking, so he asked, “Brother Lu, what do you think?”
Lu Jingcheng said proudly, “I think that’s unacceptable.”
Chen Wei: ???
Chen Wei looked confused. “Why unacceptable?”
“You’re not sincere. If you really wanted to lend it to him, why would you set conditions? There are so many students in the class—someone would definitely lend it to him without any conditions.”
Ye Qingyang nodded. “Brother Lu is right. So Brother Chen, I won’t borrow your book after all. I’ll head back first.”
Chen Wei: …
Chen Wei looked speechlessly at Lu Jingcheng. “He really listens to you. Whatever you say goes.”
Lu Jingcheng thought to himself, Of course he listens to me. He likes me that much. If he doesn’t listen to me, who else would he listen to—you?
Don’t question my position in his heart, okay? He practically has me set in stone already.
Sigh… this hopeless little admirer, so deeply in love there’s no helping it.
