191 Hes Batting for the Other Team (1/2)

”Haha…” Du Jingtang laughed dryly from the other end of the line. ”I didn't expect it to turn out this way, too, but you're already born, and I'm smaller than you so it's acceptable…”

Chu Lui hung up immediately, his face clouded with a scary iciness. That face was frozen thoroughly, completely.

If it wasn't for Du Jingtang's inability to filter words through his mouth and his senseless personality, he would have thought that he did it deliberately to apply salt to his wounds.

He threw away the phone and sat back on the sofa again. Soon, Li Manni came over with a cup of coffee. Chu Lui took and drank it. It was the same taste that only Li Manni could brew, slightly bitter and acidic.

”Did you add anything inside?” Chu Lui asked suddenly, but he did not have any underlying motive. It was just a casual question.

He failed to realize that when Li Manni heard the question, her body stiffened unnaturally.

”No, I didn't put anything. This is pure grounded coffee beans.” She lowered her eyelashes, blocking out the light in her eyes.

”Add some sugar tomorrow. It's bitter.” Chu Lui put down the cup in his hand. Indeed, it was bitter because she did not add anything.

”I got it.” Li Manni breathed a sigh of relief in secret. She clenched her fist, her face showing some paleness. Her eyes were slightly confused, a little scared… and even a little unwilling carefulness.

The light from the outside landed on both of them, one standing and one sitting, and it seemed to bring about a sense of thoughtfulness and a lukewarm relationship.
