Tadpole

"He looks fine to me," Bai Pu murmured in a very low voice, not expecting Song Li on the opposite side to hear her.

Song Li's face lit up with gossip, "Oh? How do you know whether Brother Lu's waist is fine or not?"

Bai Pu paused.

Jiang Lin turned his head to look at her, as if waiting for her answer.

Bai Pu blinked, "He sits up straight when eating and drinking." Then she showed a puzzled expression, as if asking, "Isn't that normal? Is there any problem?"

Jiang Lin retracted his probing gaze and gave Song Li a glare, "Stop teasing Bai Pu. She's still an innocent little girl. Don't corrupt her."

In other words, Bai Pu was still inexperienced.

Song Li clearly didn't believe it, but he didn't want to discuss the topic too openly with Shen Liu present, so he pulled Jiang Lin to the smoking room.

Smoking room.

Song Li smoked while looking towards Bai Pu not far away and spoke in a mysterious manner, "When I was packing Brother Lu's luggage this afternoon, I found a room card that belonged to the hotel but not to his room. I asked the front desk about it. Guess who the card was registered to?"

Jiang Lin, bored, kicked the cigarette butt at his feet, "Who?"

"Ta-da!" Song Li nodded towards Bai Pu's direction with his chin.

Bai Pu?

Jiang Lin's movement suddenly stopped.

Song Li had a regretful expression, his eyes squinting slightly, "I don't think Bai Pu is as innocent as you think."

Jiang Lin had been with Bai Pu for seven years, so he knew what kind of person she was. He took a deep drag of his cigarette, "I think you're just jealous."

Song Li retorted, "Then how do you explain Bai Pu's room card being in Brother Lu's room?"

Jiang Lin's conviction wavered in his eyes, "It can only mean that she really went to my little uncle's room. It proves that she didn't lie. Lu Zhaohe is my little uncle, and she is my fiancée. It's normal for her to go to him for something."

He thought of Lu Zhaohe again, and his conviction returned, "Besides, do you think he likes women like Bai Pu?"

Song Li was also puzzled. He looked at Bai Pu several times and shook his head, "Indeed, little Bai Pu lacks a bit of femininity. She's not as good as your mom."

"You son of a bitch," Jiang Lin took a deep drag of his cigarette.

...

Due to not sleeping well the previous night, Bai Pu slept almost the entire way on the plane.

The flight was delayed, and by the time they arrived in the port city, it was already dark.

Both Bai Pu and Jiang Lin had driven to the airport, so they had to split up on the way back.

There were quite a few cars outside, causing a traffic jam for nearly half an hour.

Just when she was getting impatient, she received a text message from an unfamiliar number.

"Did you drive here?"

She frowned and replied with two words without thinking, "Who's this?"

The other person quickly replied, "Lu Zhaohe."

Just three words plus a punctuation mark were enough to make Bai Pu's face go pale.

She froze for a moment, then picked up her phone with both hands and replied, "So it's my little uncle. I'm driving right now."

"Have you left the airport?"

"Not yet, there's a traffic jam."

"Come pick me up."

"...Isn't someone else picking you up?"

"It's too late, I don't want to bother others."

Bai Pu widened her eyes. He didn't want to bother others, so he bothered her?

Although, despite that, she still edited her WeChat ID and sent it over, "Send me your location."

Lu Zhaohe's verification message quickly arrived, and after accepting the request, Bai Pu immediately opened his profile picture.

It was an extremely simple ink painting, depicting something she couldn't understand. It looked a bit like a tadpole?

His name, on the other hand, was very simple, just two characters: "Zhaohe."

Bai Pu sent a laughing emoticon.

Lu Zhaohe directly sent a location without even a polite word.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Bai Pu was like an enthusiastic dog licking its master's boots, only to receive a cold response from the prince charming, "Hmm."
