Chapter 66 I canst risk your life, you know. (1/2)
”Kyaaah~! Baby girl chu~” Churu giggled as she repeated his words. Ethan's brief dashing countenance as he delivered those words was enough to melt Churu's heart. It was as if he was doing a live product commercial of his even white teeth.
Lexi, on the other hand, shook her head as she slightly rolled her eyes yet, she decided not to say anything as she perceived his address as his usual dialogues.
----
Since Lexi couldn't entrust her dear second life with Ethan's slightly drunken state, she insisted to drive which Ethan agreed in an instant.
”That's very manly of you,” A statement filled with sarcasm, Lexi started her luxury car's engine.
”Hmm, I can't risk your life, you know.” Ethan nonchalantly shrugged as he reclined the front passenger seat. He crossed his arms below his chest and relaxed his back on the soft upholstery of her car seat.
”Chichichi~ tell my sissy that her life is much more precious than yours, chu~” Churu giggled as she whispered her instruction to woo Lexi. However, the little dumpling who was playing as cupid with her words as the bow and arrow could only be heard by Lexi which made Lexi's face twitched.
”Hmm, okay?” Lexi awkwardly raised her brows before stepping on the gas pedal and sped away.
As Lexi focused her eyes on the road, Ethan Lu bit his lower lip as if he was restraining a bright smile, alas, he miserable failed. Churu who witnessed this copied his smile then flew to Lexi's side.
Lexi glanced at Churu's odd smile then focused on the road again. 'Ahh, sissy? Do you know how disturbing your smile is?'
Still keeping the smile she copied from Ethan, Churu reported with great effort. ”He was smiling like this chu~!”Churu won't miss this kind of report to her so that her future advice would have more substance and proof.
Since she could only glance at Ethan Lu's back, Lexi didn't bother to check Churu's spoiler. Yet, for some reason, Lexi felt that it would be impossible to misunderstand Ethan with Churu spoiling everything.
”Where are we going chu?”
'To sober that guy up and collect the fees for my driving services.' Lexi smirked as she replied to Churu's inquiry. Though she successfully drew the line with Morris Liu, Lexi still needed to calm the foreign feelings in her heart as she took her first big step from moving on.
Indeed, unlike her avoidance in meeting Morris Liu, Lexi realized that she should face her real dilemma and solve it instead of running away -- and that's what she did! Hence, somewhat someways, she felt she achieved something albeit small but still progressed.
”Woah, what revenge chu?” Churu squinted her eyes as she sees the mischievous smirk plastered across Lexi's face. She had seen all kinds of her knowing smiles and expressions but not this one which slightly bothered Churu.
