561 Wanted to be the king (2/2)
Earlier, when Churu eavesdropped on the private lounge, Nico Zhuang did the same. However, he could vaguely hear anything and everything came to him as indistinct noises.
Yet, Churu knew when someone was about to open the door. The reason they straightened their posture and pretended to knock on the door.
”I can smell him.” Without a second hesitation, Churu responded honestly. ”I can smell people's soul so it's not that surprising.” added Churu with a shrug and a smug grin.
Nico Zhuang tapped his finger over the steering wheel upon hearing her ridiculous reply. He wanted to believe her, but it wasn't convincing enough. Hence, since Nico Zhuang had nothing good to say, his mouth remained shut.
”Really... hey, do you know what kind of relationship Dylan Lu and Louis Lu has?” Suddenly, Churu shook her head as she pondered on the current matter.
When she noticed that all stories she concluded were all speculations, Churu asked Nico Zhuang for clarity.
”Huh?”
”I said, do you have any idea what kind of relationship does Lulu and Dylan has?” Rolling her eyes, Churu still repeated her inquiry in a higher note.
Nico Zhuang knitted his brows as he slowly turned his head to the front passenger seat where she was sitting. His gaze studied her dissatisfied countenance and contemplated for a second.
”Is it good? Bad? Ugly? Or worse? What was it?” As he pondered, Churu threw the followup into question.
”I'm not sure but what I heard was the three of them were close as kids.” After deciding whether he should tell the things he knew to Churu or not, knowing that Ethan Lu seemed to trust her wholeheartedly, he trusted her too, a little.
”It's not surprising that they grew apart because they were born in an unordinary family.” Nico Zhuang shrugged as he found it understandable for the three to grow apart.
Despite their differences, the same bloodline run through them. Therefore, it wasn't surprising if the three of them wanted to be the king.
”So they were close? Do you know other reasons of their breakups aside from that?” Churu asked, not letting him have a recess.
”I don't know. I'm still a trainee back then, so no idea.” Nico Zhuang shrugged his shoulders indifferently. ”Also, you can ask Master, maybe he'll tell you.” he suggested yet, he sounded doubtful that Ethan Lu would want to talk about it.
”Oh...” Nodding her head in understanding, Churu delved to her own thoughts once again.
After a minute, she returned her gaze at him. ”Can you call Ethan and tell him you'd drop me by somewhere tonight?”
”Uh... okay?” Baffled at her sudden questions, Nico Zhuang nodded his head, bearing the crease on his brow.
”Thanks!” Churu cheered as Morris Liu flashed across his head. In Churu's mind, Morris Liu probably knew more about it because obviously, Nico Zhuang wasn't raised for gossip.
