School Beauty's Personal Martial Expert-Chapter 577: The two young ladies have brought food, 2

"Mmm~!" Li Mengjie narrowed her eyes with a mischievous smile and said, "It seems our Miss Ling really cares about the Cold Bodyguard. Sure! No problem, since Xuejiu has spoken, how dare I refuse?" As she spoke, she scooped up a spoonful of rice and, smiling, said to Leng Xuan, "Come on, Cold Bodyguard, I’m giving you my ’first time’ here."

"Pfft!" Leng Xuan had just taken a bite of rice, not yet chewed it thoroughly, and when he heard Li Mengjie’s words, he immediately spat it out, thankfully turning his head so it didn’t land on Li Mengjie’s face. Ling Xuejiu was also stunned, covering her forehead with her hand, shocked by Li Mengjie’s bombshell remark.

Seeing the exaggerated reactions of both, Li Mengjie couldn’t help but purse her lips in a smile. "What were you thinking? I meant it’s the first time I’ve fed someone, that’s all. Why are your minds so dirty?"

Both Ling Xuejiu and Leng Xuan were half-amused, half-annoyed. Who didn’t know what kind of a person Miss Li was? However, no one was calling her out at that moment.

Under Li Mengjie’s attentive care, Leng Xuan quickly finished off the large lunchbox of food, even feeling somewhat longing for more. The flavor of the meal was truly not bad—it seemed the cook was quite skilled.

After Ling Xuejiu and the others packed up their things, they didn’t leave but found chairs to sit down in, keeping Leng Xuan company for a chat. This flattering treatment surprised Leng Xuan, who had been living with the two beauties for so long without such attention, and he couldn’t help but smile wryly, "You don’t need to keep me company here; go back to your classes. Don’t miss them because of me." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Don’t flatter yourself," Ling Xuejiu rolled her eyes and said, "My parents know about your injury; they will be coming to see you soon, so I’m waiting here for them."

At that moment, Li Mengjie leaned in and asked, "Cold Bodyguard, tell us about your heroic deeds last night. How did you get injured? And what’s the deal with you and Zhou Li? Has she offered herself to you in gratitude?"

The barrage of questions gave Leng Xuan a headache, but, touched by the girls’ concern for his injury, he didn’t feel right hiding anything. "Last night, Zhou Li was abducted by a thug. I happened to find out and located her. The thug who kidnapped her was quite strong. During the fight, I was outmatched and got injured. But let’s just say he didn’t have it easy either, probably worse off than me," he recalled the horrifying rapid aging caused by the Life Drain of the Soul-devouring Needle, grateful that such a terrifying weapon was in his hands.

"Is that so?" Li Mengjie pretended to be sour, "Cold Bodyguard, aren’t you a little too nice to Zhou Li? Hehe, is it really like the school rumors say, that you two are in a romantic relationship?"

"Uh?" Leng Xuan was startled for a moment, then gave a wry smile, "No."

"Really?" Li Mengjie was somewhat skeptical. "Last night, when you entered the operating room, she seemed really anxious."

After Li Mengjie spoke, Ling Xuejiu, who had been pretending to be indifferent, also leaned forward slightly, clearly eager for Leng Xuan’s answer.

Leng Xuan paused, knowing he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t touched, but Li Mengjie’s question wasn’t easy to answer. After all, his relationship with Zhou Li was truly nothing special at the moment, friends at best? He gave another wry smile and said, "Don’t get any wrong ideas, we are really just friends. Besides, you might not know, but I met Zhou Li’s brother, Zhou Jingpeng, a long time ago. We lost touch due to some reasons, and it was purely coincidental we met again this time. Zhou Jingpeng and I were close buddies back in the day, so naturally, I would look after his sister as well."
