The candy in his palm did not receive the attention of the girl in front of him. While Lu Jian was feeling uneasy, he wondered if it would be too abrupt if he retracted his hand now.

While he was hesitating, a finger slowly crept up his palm.

The fair and slender fingers quickly rolled up the candy after making sure that they would not touch his palm.

Lu Jian looked at the girl who was like a frightened bird. His serious face subconsciously tried to show some friendliness.

But after a few failed attempts, the girl in front of him became more and more nervous. He could only awkwardly push up the glasses on his nose and put a candy in his mouth.

Huaguo looked at him tentatively, and then put the candy in her mouth after some hesitation.

Soon, the sweet smell of strawberries filled the air along with the slowly melting candy. It also comforted Huaguo's uneasiness.

"Thank you."

Her soft voice immediately caused Lu Jian's ears to turn slightly red.

He put his hand in front of his mouth and pretended to cough unintentionally. His heartbeat quickened inexplicably.

"You," he suppressed the throbbing in his heart, "You, are you lost?"

Previously, when other people tried to talk to her but were rejected, he was watching from afar, hesitating whether to go forward.

"No —" Huaguo subconsciously wanted to reject him like she did to the others.

But before she could finish her sentence, she stopped herself.

She pinched her purse and felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart. She looked up at the young man in front of her, and the gentle smile on his face made people not dare to look at him directly.

"That's right."

"Do you know where we can stay?"

.....

Lu Jian walked in front, and could vaguely feel the girl behind him looking at him.

It wasn't strong, but it still made him subconsciously straighten his back. He wanted to use this to make his back look more reliable.

The surrounding passersby also cast their gazes on the young men and women who were walking in tandem. Lu Jian was well aware that this was all because of the young girl behind her.

When she had first seen such an outstanding appearance, she had subconsciously held her breath. She had been silent for a long time before she could naturally step forward to talk to her.

Moreover, when he got close, he unconsciously forgot the speech that he had originally prepared when he was quiet.

As if he was completely focused on the girl behind him, Lu Jian walked absent-mindedly, but he could still vaguely hear the whispers of the people around him.

"Look at that girl —"

"Ah — she's super cute. Is she a new idol?"

"Really — she's as delicate as a doll — her face is super small —"

Unknowingly, all of this caused his originally normal walking to slowly become sluggish.

Although it was the weekend tomorrow, there was still training in the club. And — after knowing that the girl behind him did not have an ID card and was penniless, he did not know what was wrong with him.

The best thing to do was to send her to the police station for help, but he —

"Then, do you want to stay at my place?"

This suggestion was full of selfishness, and it almost didn't even go through his mind before he asked.

She should be worried that this mysterious girl might be in trouble, but when she nodded without hesitation, Lü Jian couldn't help but feel worried.

If he was a bad person, and she agreed so easily, wouldn't she be in danger?

Lu Jian pushed up her glasses worriedly. She was already thinking about how she should remind her about the unpredictability of people's minds.

But soon, his worry did not last long, and he was stopped by someone.

"Ah — it's Lu Jian."

Huaguo, who was following closely behind Lu Jian, looked around, but did not find the person who spoke.

However, the voice that spoke just now had indeed come from nearby.

But —

There was no one.

Just as they were wondering if they had encountered some invisible ghosts, Lu Jian, who was walking in front, pushed up his glasses helplessly and said to the void in front of him, "Heizi Kun, why are you here?"

It was only after Lu Jian spoke that Huaguo finally noticed the young man.

He had light blue hair, and was about the same height as himself. He looked unexpectedly harmless.

He secretly sized up the other party from head to toe. He was indeed a stranger without any abnormalities. Moreover, just by looking at his appearance, his sense of existence was definitely not like it was now, where people would completely ignore him.

So — he was right in front of me, but I didn't notice him —?

Huaguo clenched her fists behind her back and stared at the other party with a burning gaze.

"I'm here to buy something."

Blackie also noticed the girl behind Lu Jian, and after a moment of daze, he nodded to greet her, and then gestured to Lu Jian to show him the things he was carrying.

A vanilla milkshake and a teriyaki burger.

Lu Jian raised his head and realized that he had brought Huaguo along. Unknowingly, they had arrived at the entrance of Club M.

He was careless, and forgot that he would always meet Blackie and the others at Club M.

Pushing up his glasses, he subconsciously searched around and in Record M's office.

"Are you alone?"

It would be fine if Blackie was alone, since he was not a talkative person. But if the other members of the basketball club saw the girl behind him …

"And Green Peak," he pointed to the tall man behind Huaguo, who was slowly approaching.

Lu Jian's face turned pale and his entire body stiffened. Hearing the footsteps behind him that were gradually approaching, he planned to sneak Huaguo behind him into the "M" that Hei Zi came out from just now.

"Didn't you say you were only here to buy some food?

Why aren't you back yet? "

Green Peak spun the basketball in his hand, and sweat kept dripping down his face. He was young and full of vitality, and he was tall. He did not look like a high school student.

He did not care about the stares of the people around him, and he lifted his sports vest to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He did not realize that his well-defined abs and Apollo's belt under his vest, coupled with his wheat-colored skin, made him look extremely sexy.

A few girls noticed the movement outside through the glass, and they could not help but blush.

Lu Jian saw that things were getting weirder and weirder, and her face became more and more uncomfortable. Without thinking, she grabbed Huaguo's wrist and wanted to escape.

But in the end, her escape was not as fast as Blackie's words.

"Ah, because I accidentally bumped into Lujian-san and his friends, I was delayed a bit."

Blackie was unaware of Lu Jian's dilemma, and he carried the bag in his hand while he met up with Green Peak.

And Lu Jian —

Not only was Lu Jian's face stiff, but her entire back was also stiff. She knew that there was no chance to escape, so she turned around and intentionally or unintentionally blocked Huaguo behind her. She calmly faced the two people.

"What a coincidence."

"Oh, Lu Jian, you came just in time. Blackie and I are practicing shooting, why don't you join us?!" Green Peak did not notice his little action, and rather straightforwardly threw out an olive branch.

"No," Lu Jian coughed dryly to cover it up, and subconsciously lowered her eyelashes to avoid the two's gaze, "My — friend and I have something to do now, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Let's practice together during tomorrow's training. "

Green Peak asked suspiciously. "Friend?!"

He was tall, so he could naturally see the ribbon on the top of the person's hair through Lu Jian's body.

He didn't think much of it before, but when he saw Lu Jian's strange appearance, he suddenly realized something, and even his expression changed. "Girlfriend?!"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Lu Jian's entire body turned red from his neck to the top of his head. He looked like a freshly steamed shrimp.

Even Hei Zi, who was originally full of smiles, was a little surprised when he saw this.

"Lv Jian, you already have a girlfriend?!

Damn it!

You're so cunning! "

Green Peak ignored him and stepped forward. "You're so annoying, even if you have a girlfriend, you don't have to hide it!"

Although he didn't interact much with Lu Jian in the club, he could more or less understand his personality.

To be able to become Lu Jian's girlfriend, what kind of girl was she?

"She's — she's not my girlfriend."

Lu Jian's face was completely red. When he lowered his head, even his rebuttal was not very firm. Naturally, he didn't have time to notice that Green Peak had circled around to his side.

He couldn't see clearly through Lu Jian, but now he looked at the person who was looking down at him from above.

"So tall — —"

Huaguo couldn't help but sigh. They all looked about the same age as her. Lü Jian was the same age, and so was Qing Feng. How could they all be so tall?!

As the dark-skinned boy approached, his half-slanted shadow shrouded the two of them.

"You're Lu Jian's girl …" He didn't finish his sentence, but when he saw Huaguo's face clearly, the words disappeared from his mouth.

"Super — —"

"Super — —"

"Super cute!"

"Why?!

Lu Jian, this outwardly cold guy, when did he get to know such a cute girl?! "

And the longer he looked at her, the prettier she became?!

"No, no, no. My little linen dress is the prettiest."

Green Peak's gaze was unfocused. He wanted to greet Lu Jian politely, but now his expression was twisted.

In Lu Jian's eyes, Green Peak's current expression was almost the same as when he wanted to teach someone a lesson.

No way?

What a cute girl.
