Chapter 169 - Uncle Bais Wanton (1/2)

After recognizing Xu Le’s voice, Alex’s eyebrows relaxed and the hostility on his face dissipated. He rubbed his temples and said, “Xu Le, how long has it been since you last contacted me? I thought you wouldn’t acknowledge me as a friend once you returned to the country.”

He thought carefully for a while. “There’s indeed a publicity campaign. It said that something is wrong, but it’s indeed an item. Well…”

Xu Le heard the hesitation in his words and asked, “Ah? Is that an object or a person?”

“It can be considered both and neither.”

Alex wasn’t trying to keep him in suspense. He sighed and said, “To be honest, I definitely can’t reveal much since the confidentiality agreement was signed and it is in the early stages of the publicity, but what I said just now wasn’t a lie. They’re going to release the publicity next week. It should have been planned in advance and will be released online to everyone. Don’t worry about it, you’ll know soon.”

“…Alright.” Xu Le wouldn’t force him.

Alex sat up straight in delight and said, “I watched you compete. The red thing you made looks so tempting. The next time we meet, you must make it for me.”

“No problem. Let’s talk next time.”

“Hey, don’t be in a hurry to hang up. Good luck in the finals…”

As soon as Alex started talking, he rambled for more than half an hour before saying goodbye.

After he hung up, Xu Le turned around and widened his eyes.

“When did you guys come in?”

Lu Yuxi was sitting at the entrance with a tall young man beside her. He was handsome and fair, but his skin was abnormally fair, as if he was a little malnourished.

“I didn’t want to disturb you when you were on the phone.” Lu Yuxi waved the room card in her hand and said, “Are you going out for supper? This is also my university classmate. He’s one year younger than me and from the same club. I gave him a blood transfusion previously.”

With that, Lu Yuxi poked the young man beside her with her elbow and said, “Introduce yourself. What are you waiting for?”

Only then did Li Shengsheng return to its senses. He nodded and waved at him with a smile. “My name is Li Shengsheng. It’s been a long time… Ah, no, it’s our first time meeting. Please take care of me.”

He couldn’t help but mutter ‘long time no see’. This was the first time he and Xu Le had met. He couldn’t help but feel happy, as if he had reunited with an ‘old friend’.

“Yes, hello, I’m Xu Le.”

Xu Le looked at the friendly person in front of him. He avoided his gaze and pretended that he was not familiar with him. He said, “I just had lunch and am not hungry at all. But if you want to have supper, we can go out together.”

The few of them were about to drive to the nearby night market when they bumped into Xu Zhexian. He took off his glasses and smiled. “Lele, are you going out with your friends?”

“Mmm.”

“It’s so late. Come back early.”

“Okay.”

Just as Xu Le responded, Shen Hui rushed out of the house. When she saw the three of them, she subconsciously frowned and said unhappily, “Lele, don’t forget that you still have a competition.”

What she meant was that he should not waste time and focus on preparing for the competition.

Xu Le replied calmly, “Mom, there’s no way to revise at the last minute in this competition. I’ll go out and play with my friends. Just take it that I’m looking for inspiration.”

At this point, Shen Hui could not stop him. She could only nod and look at Lu Yuxi meaningfully. “Come back soon.”

After they left, she turned to Xu Zhexian and said, “Hubby, do you think Lele is different?”
