"Okay, Brother Jie, you go ahead and get busy," Situ Xin said, feigning obedience, but on the other end of the phone, Situ Xin's eyebrows were raised as she looked toward Baibai, her eyes conveying a clear message: "See, everything is going exactly as I had anticipated."
After Loo Jie ended the call with Situ Xin, he immediately used the phone in Situ Che's hand to call his mother. Loo Jie was so anxious that he completely forgot the phone wasn't his but Situ Che's. Meanwhile, Situ Che had been listening to Loo Jie's conversation with Situ Xin with one ear while looking at the newly received exercise drawings.
By the time he realized something was amiss and looked up, it was too late. Loo Jie was already on the phone with his mother, Huang Xia, his voice filled with excitement as he asked her if she was planning to have him go on a blind date. Loo Jie's question gave Situ Che a headache and put a smile on Huang Xia's face.
