Jian Si had her back to the door and didn't notice that Lu Youting was eavesdropping, with phone in hand, talking and walking up the stairs.
She was laughing brilliantly, whatever the person on the other end had said.
"I'm not avoiding contact with you, it's just that there's been so much happening lately, I haven't had the time."
Lu Youting's face turned green with anger, fizzing with jealousy.
All he heard next was Jian Si saying, "Dinner? Sure, when?"
Dinner?
Lu Youting's heart clenched, sinking ceaselessly. As he yearned to hear more, the sound suddenly ceased from behind him. Turning, he found Jian Si had already vanished.
After hesitating at the spot for a while, he decisively followed upstairs and pressed his ear against the door, trying to catch anything Jian Si was saying.
Unfortunately, no matter how closely he listened, he couldn't hear a thing.
"...?"
He started to regret the decision he'd made before.
He shouldn't have thickened the door for soundproofing.
