Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 42. Hello everyone (First update)
A pleasant female voice rang out, standing out starkly among a group of deep male voices. The previously noisy call channel fell silent instantly, leaving only the breathing of a few people and the whistling wind.

Jiang Jixu waited a few seconds, but there was no movement. He then looked up at the two people beside him.

Lu Lishen remained calm, while Jiang Wang behind him crossed his legs, looking completely unconcerned.

She lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and then added another sentence.

"Very happy to meet all of you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that one of the profile pictures was missing from the call screen, and she was stunned.

Then, as if some special switch had been turned on.

The remaining two avatars also quickly logged out.

Jiang Jixu was a little confused.

The girl looked up at Lu Lishen, and carefully chose her words:

"The situation seems a little different from what you described?"

It seems that it wasn't her who was frightened, but rather she who frightened Lu Lishen's roommate.

The man's gaze fell silently on the small amount of chestnut that had accidentally gotten on Jiang Jixu's lips.

"Please understand, everyone in our dorm is single."

"It's perfectly normal to be so excited when you suddenly hear a girl's voice that you don't know how to express your emotions."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"..."

Jiang Jixu was speechless for a moment, and after a while, she said with a wry smile, "Do your roommates know that you describe them like this behind their backs?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a cool, itchy sensation on her lips.

It brushed past as gently as a feather.

Jiang Wang, who was behind, was so shocked by what he saw that he almost jumped into the driver's seat and pulled Lu Lishen out, but then he remembered something and swallowed his angry words.

Her eyes were fixed on the man.

If the other party dares to do anything out of line, he will not let it go easily, even if it displeases Jiang Jixu!

Fortunately, Lu Lishen quickly withdrew his hand.

"It got a little dirty."

He began to explain.

Jiang Jixu blinked, realizing what was happening, and was about to say "thank you" when Lu Lishen's phone rang.

"It's my roommate."

He said something and answered the phone.

Hou Taojiu's cautious voice came through: "Hey Lu Shen, the three of us are here, right next to our usual hot pot restaurant, you..."

Hou Tao swallowed hard, and under the oppressive gazes of the two people beside him, he tentatively spoke.

"Was that young lady from earlier...did she come with you too?"

Lu Lishen was about to speak when he felt his sleeve being tugged.

Looking down, I saw a pair of slender, fair fingers with neatly trimmed, rounded nails that were a pale pink, like tiny seashells.

Jiang Jixu parted his lips slightly and silently said, "I'll do it."

A smile flashed in Lu Lishen's eyes as he spoke slowly into the phone, "I'm not quite sure either."

"Why don't you just ask her directly?"

Lu Lishen didn't turn on the speakerphone; instead, he put the phone directly to the girl's ear.

Jiang Jixu was worried that it would be inconvenient for him, so she could only try to move her body closer to the man.

"Hey."

"I went there with him. Did I scare you just now? I'm sorry."

A pure, porcelain-white female voice then came from the loudspeaker.

Hou Taojiu, who originally wanted to say "How could you not know?", abruptly changed the subject.

"It's okay, it's okay, we were just overreacting. See you at the hot pot restaurant later, hey, okay, bye-bye."

He quickly finished the call, hung up, and then rubbed his face, which was a little stiff from the wind.

"It's probably true, Lu Shen has a girlfriend. The three of us are practically family, right? Should we buy his girlfriend a little something to meet her?"

Why aren't you two saying anything?

Hou Taojiu turned around and saw that the two had already entered the boutique not far away.

"Damn it! You ungrateful bastards, wait for me!"

……

Hot pot restaurant.

It was almost lunchtime, and there were quite a few people coming to eat. Shao Ming finally managed to snag a table for six, which was just enough.

Hou Taojiu kept glancing towards the door while drinking water.

Shao Ming, sitting next to him, leisurely flipped through the menu, adjusted his glasses, and said casually:

"It's not like your girlfriend is coming, why are you so excited?" Hou Taojiu lowered his voice: "Damn, that's God Lu! God Lu's girlfriend! Aren't you curious about what kind of girl can make his heart flutter?!"

Shao Ming scoffed, "What's there to be curious about?"

Ji Ziqian, on the other side, glanced at him and gently exposed his lie.

"Old Shao, you've got the menu upside down."

Shao Ming choked on his saliva.

Hou Taojiu burst out laughing without any restraint: "Keep pretending, are you?!"

Shao Ming's earlobes turned slightly red. He was about to speak when he heard a shop assistant's voice from the doorway: "Welcome! How many are in your party?"

Then came the familiar, cool male voice, which poured down like a cold spring in the bustling, steaming hot pot restaurant.

"Our friends have arrived."

"Oh, is this a reservation made by Mr. Shao?" the waiter said. "Come this way, it's the table at the very back."

Lu Lishen nodded slightly, looked down at the girl, and said in a calm voice, "It's crowded inside and hard to walk, I'll carry the things."

Jiang Jixu looked down at the milk tea and chestnuts in his hand.

The shop is small, and the tables are very close together, so it's easy for her to bump into people while carrying her things.

The girl nodded and handed him the bag.

During the handover, it's unclear who lost their grip.

Seeing that the object was about to fall, Jiang Jixu quickly reached out to catch it.

"Be careful."

Hands overlapping.

Seeing this, Jiang Wang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Only this guy would pull off a hundred and eighty fake gestures just to hold hands!
Out of sight, out of mind, he strode around to the front of the two: "Are you coming or not? Stop dawdling."

Jiang Jixu snapped out of her daze, her cheeks slightly flushed: "I'm sorry."

"It's ok."

"Um..." Seeing that the man showed no sign of letting go, she couldn't help but remind him.

Lu Lishen: "Hmm?"

He looked completely at ease, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Jixu had no choice but to swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, "No, it's nothing."

“Okay, let’s go.” Lu Lishen turned around and led her through the crowd.

The girl stared at the hand that was holding hers.

Tall, clean... and warm.

Jiang Jixu pursed her lips.

Aside from Ji Yanci, this was the first time she had ever held a man's hand.

Feel……

not bad.

Shao Ming looked over at the sound, but only saw Jiang Wang. He spoke subconsciously.

"Hey, why are you the only one here? Where are Lao Lu and his girlfriend?"

The other two people at the table looked up at the sound.

Jiang Wang rolled his eyes at Shao Ming, his expression not very good: "What's the rush!"

Then he reached out and pulled up a chair.

They assumed Jiang Wang wanted to sit there, but to their surprise, the boy turned his body to the side and gave up his seat.

The three of them were stunned for a moment.

When did the most mischievous devil start pulling out chairs for others?

The next second, a face that was both strange and familiar came into view.

This face is undeniably beautiful, with delicate and petite features, naturally red lips, and round, almond-shaped eyes that seem to possess a soft, shimmering quality when looking into someone's eyes. To use a phrase from the internet—

Those eyes are so expressive, even when looking at a dog.

Now, the owner of the eyes looked at them and smiled sweetly.

"Hello everyone."

"I am Jiang Jixu."
