Female lead's Delusion of Starting Over-Chapter 27 - So Sweet, Too Sweet

“Here, bought this for you, milk tea with double sugar. You really aren’t afraid of high blood sugar!” Pulling out a cup of milk tea from his bag, he handed it over directly.

“Xiao Yi, hold this for a moment, will you? Can’t you see I’m driving?” He said to Chen Xiaoyi in the passenger seat, then gave Li Zichuan a glare.

“Hehe, sorry, little miss, didn’t know this guy would actually bring someone along today. Didn’t prepare one for you,” Li Zichuan wasn’t embarrassed at all, instead, he was quite cheeky as he gestured to Chen Xiaoyi.

“…It’s, it’s okay,” Chen Xiaoyi took the milk tea, turning her head away. For some reason, she always felt there was something odd about Lu Li’s friend.

It’s like he has this inexplicable manic energy.

So intimidating!

Dropping Li Zichuan off at the Swan Hotel in Hangzhou caused a bit of commotion from him, claiming Lu Li was ditching friends for a girl, which even made Chen Xiaoyi blush.

“Stop your nonsense. I’ll come find you later. I need to take Xiao Yi home first. What a coincidence you picked today to arrive.” Lu Li rolled his eyes at Li Zichuan; he indeed had some matters to discuss with him.

After saying that, he started the car again, taking Chen Xiaoyi with him.

“Xiao Yi, open that milk tea. I can’t free my hands right now, feed me a sip,” Lu Li suddenly said on the way home.

“Ah!” Chen Xiaoyi’s cheeks flushed immediately. Isn’t this what’s known as feeding?

“Is Lu Li making such an intimate gesture because he really likes me?” She couldn’t help but think shyly.

But without much hesitation, Chen Xiaoyi inserted the straw into the milk tea and brought it to Lu Li’s lips. Lu Li took a big sip and then frowned in confusion.

It was indeed the milk tea with double sugar he used to drink, and he liked this flavor too, but today, why did it feel so cloyingly sweet?

“Never mind, never mind, no more for me, it’s a bit too sweet.” Waving his hand, Lu Li decided not to take another sip.

Chen Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment, then took a sip herself. Indeed, it was very sweet, sickeningly so, but the last time she prepared milk tea with double sugar for Lu Li, he drank it just fine.

Shaking her head, she decided not to dwell on this issue. Staring blankly at the milk tea straw, which Lu Li had just drunk from and then she drank from too, does this count as an indirect… kiss?

Her heart rate quickened, and looking at Lu Li’s serious profile as he drove, she couldn’t help but blush.

“Are you and this Mr. Li very close?”

“Yeah, friends since childhood. This guy had a rough time before, but now he’s finally living the life he deserves,” Lu Li nodded.

The warm smile on his face made Chen Xiaoyi feel a bit jealous.

“Damn it, Chen Xiaoyi, he’s a man, what are you jealous about? He and Lu Li are just good friends,” she scolded herself harshly inside, unable to clearly define her own feelings now.

“What, are you jealous of a man now?” Lu Li teased, looking at Chen Xiaoyi.

Her facial expressions practically spelled out her inner thoughts.

“Ptui, who would be jealous of you!” Chen Xiaoyi spat out, glaring at Lu Li with a fierce look.

“Hahaha!”

After sending Chen Xiaoyi home, Lu Li’s expression darkened. Why would Su Bingqing suddenly come back at this time?

The plot has changed!

Regarding one of the main female characters, Su Bingqing, Zhang Ziqin’s best friend in her previous life, she didn’t spare Lu Li from humiliation either.

He had planned to resolve the issue with Zhang Ziqin before her return. Now it seems it won’t be so easy.

Arriving at the Swan Hotel, Lu Li went straight to the presidential suite on the top floor.

“Yo, you came so quickly, huh? I thought you’d at least dawdle with that girl for a while!” Li Zichuan teased Lu Li.

“Don’t imagine me as brainless as you.” Lu Li gave the guy a stare.

“Hehe, sometimes, I really do wish you were a bit more brainless. You used to be so fixated on Zhang Ziqin, I even doubted if she’d bewitched you,” Li Zichuan raised his eyebrows, clearly enjoying himself.

“That girl’s not bad. It’s obvious she likes you quite a bit.” Observing all the way, that girl named Chen Xiaoyi kept her eyes on Lu Li, her gaze so sweet it almost made him queasy.

“Like I need you to tell me!” A smile flickered across Lu Li’s face.

“So, you came because of that old man Cao’s birthday banquet, huh? Otherwise, why would the distinguished Li family scion from the Magic City come to this little place in Hangzhou?”

“Damn, calling me Li family scion, you’re mocking me.” He slapped Lu Li lightly, “But indeed, I came this time for old man Cao’s birthday banquet. My old man said I should represent the Li family this time.”

“Hehe, this is your moment of triumph, finally climbing up the ranks!” Lu Li genuinely felt happy for his friend, wondering if Li Zichuan in his previous life had helped him avenge as in the plot.

He hoped not because, with Li Zichuan’s capabilities, he could live a good life.
