God of Racing-Chapter 412 - 405

At the small dining table, Yu Sangwan brought the dishes over.

Turning around, she saw Lu Jinxuan wiping the chopsticks with a tissue.

"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan was surprised, "They’re already clean, why are you still wiping them?"

Lu Jinxuan quickly put down the chopsticks, looking like a child caught by an adult making a mistake... Yu Sangwan shook her head and chuckled, "Really..."

There were only a few simple dishes on the table, but they were clean and looked decent.

"Hmm." Lu Jinxuan frowned, muttering, "Do you usually eat just these?"

"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan was taken aback, "These... what’s wrong with them?"

On the table, there were just some home-cooked dishes.

"This... is too... even the servants at the Lu Family eat better than this." Lu Jinxuan held the chopsticks, his brow furrowed, looking troubled and unsure where to start.

"..." Yu Sangwan was astonished, sitting down next to him.

She casually picked up a pair of chopsticks and started putting dishes into his bowl, "Don’t be picky! This is an ordinary household! The Original House’s meals, ordinary folks wouldn’t get to eat them even on holidays. Are you really complaining about the food? Stop whining and start eating! If you want something better, call Tang Yueze."

Lu Jinxuan frowned as he watched her pile food into his bowl uncontrollably, "Hey! I don’t want ginger, garlic, or green onions!"

"Hmm?"

Yu Sangwan froze, puzzled as she looked at Lu Jinxuan, "Since when don’t you eat ginger, garlic, or green onions? It’s not the first time we’ve eaten together, you’re not usually picky about food! What’s up today?"

"..."

Lu Jinxuan’s eyes flickered, as if hiding something.

Feeling Yu Sangwan’s glare, he got angry out of embarrassment, "I just don’t eat these! What’s the problem?"

"Huh?" Yu Sangwan laughed, "If you don’t want it, you don’t want it, no need to get angry! Acting like a child! Fine, I’ll pick them out for you... Will that do, young master?"

Saying this, she took the bowl and chopsticks, and carefully picked out the ginger, garlic, and green onions.

Lu Jinxuan was stunned, staring at her blankly. In the light, Yu Sangwan tucked her hair with one hand, while holding the chopsticks with the other, meticulously picking out the green onions and garlic, as if doing something very important. Her profile was beautiful, with small eyes and mouth, but a prominent nose, giving her an elegant aura.

The dimple on her left cheek appeared and disappeared... the more you look, the more intoxicated you become.

"You..."

Lu Jinxuan hesitated to speak.

"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan didn’t look up, "What’s the matter with me?"

Lu Jinxuan stared at her intently, "Don’t you feel it’s bothersome to do such a thing?"

"What’s the big deal?" Yu Sangwan smiled lightly, shaking her head, "It’s just a small effort, besides, wasn’t it for you?"

As soon as she said it, she realized something was off... what was she saying?

"Uh..." Yu Sangwan shook her head awkwardly, "Ahem, you’re a guest!"

In her fluster, she handed the bowl and chopsticks to him, "Hurry up and eat! I’ve picked them clean."

Saying that, she pulled out the chair and stood up.

At the dining table, only Lu Jinxuan was left. Holding the bowl and chopsticks, his gaze followed Yu Sangwan. She went to the balcony, standing on a stool to take in the clothes.

Her height wasn’t considered short for a girl, but standing on the stool to retrieve the clothes was still a bit challenging. She had to tiptoe and stretch her hand to reach.

Seeing her like this, Lu Jinxuan couldn’t help but frown and stood up.

"Hey..." Yu Sangwan raised her hand, her body slightly tilting, on the verge of falling.

"Ah..."

In a moment of tension, Lu Jinxuan quickly reached out both hands to encircle her waist, steadying her.

As a result, Yu Sangwan’s hands fell on his shoulders, she looking down, he looking up, their breaths mingling. They stared at each other like this for quite a while before speaking.

"You..." It was Lu Jinxuan who spoke first, his eyes downcast, his tone more like a sigh, "He... didn’t like fools before."

"Hmm? What did you say?" Yu Sangwan didn’t catch it, "Who doesn’t like fools?"

"Uh?" Lu Jinxuan seemed to snap back, his eyes narrowing, "I said Lu Jinxuan."

"Huh?" Yu Sangwan was stunned, "Isn’t Lu Jinxuan you?"

"..." Lu Jinxuan tugged at the corner of his mouth, giving a bitter smile, "Yeah..."

"You didn’t like fools before?" Yu Sangwan tilted her head, realizing, "Who are you calling a fool?"

Getting angry, she pushed him away, jumped down from the stool, glaring at him angrily, "How am I foolish?"

Lu Jinxuan put his hands in his pockets, looking at her calmly, "Isn’t it foolish that you can’t even handle taking down clothes?"

"You..." Yu Sangwan got even angrier.

However, Lu Jinxuan wasn’t finished, "Being so short, not having breathtaking beauty, from Tokyo University’s journalism department, all these traits aren’t particularly impressive."

His eyes lifted, seemingly questioning Yu Sangwan, or perhaps just talking to himself, "...what’s there to like about you?"

With that, he bent down and gently pinched Yu Sangwan’s chin, examining her closely.

"You..." Yu Sangwan’s eyelashes trembled lightly, raising her arm to knock away his hand, "Yes! I’m terrible! I’m bad at everything! Now go eat, and after eating quickly go back next door!"

After yelling, she ran inside holding the clothes she had gathered.

Lu Jinxuan stood on the balcony, shaking his head with a smile, "She’s really so silly! I said so much, but did she catch the main point? Just heard ’silly,’ huh? Didn’t hear that Lu Jinxuan likes you, right? Lu Jinxuan, such a smart person, never used to like fools!"

Under the balcony lights, Lu Jinxuan’s figure appeared lonely and isolated.

As soon as she finished eating, Yu Sangwan was eager to push Lu Jinxuan out.

"Go back! Go to your luxurious apartment!"

"Yu Sangwan!"

Just as the door was about to close, Lu Jinxuan reached out to block it.

"What are you doing?" Yu Sangwan glared with eyes full of precaution and looked at him.

Lu Jinxuan shrugged helplessly, "I forgot my keys, can’t get into the next door."

"Huh?" Yu Sangwan was amused and exasperated, "So, you were sitting at the doorway because you couldn’t get in?"

"Mm." Lu Jinxuan nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Yu Sangwan shook her head and sighed, "You really... Speaking of me being silly? Let me ask you, when you moved things to the next door, did you change the door lock?"

"Door lock?" Lu Jinxuan looked puzzled, "I didn’t know."

"There’s a lot you don’t know." Yu Sangwan pushed him aside and walked straight to next door, searched around the flowerpot at the entrance, and found a key, "Here... try it! If it doesn’t work, call Tang Yueze."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinxuan couldn’t help but frown.

Yu Sangwan bent over and tried to insert the key into the keyhole, but it wouldn’t turn, "Eh? It’s changed!"

After several attempts, the door remained shut.

She looked at Lu Jinxuan helplessly, "Still not opening, well, Tang Yueze is such a careful person, of course he would change the door lock. You should call him!"

"..." Lu Jinxuan lowered his gaze, silent.

"Hey?" Yu Sangwan found it odd, "Hurry up!"

Lu Jinxuan squeezed out the words, "No phone."

"No phone?" Yu Sangwan widened her eyes, taking out hers from her pocket, "Here... use mine, I’ve got Mr. Tang’s number saved."

Lu Jinxuan just looked but didn’t take it.

"What’s wrong?" Yu Sangwan had a puzzled look, flipping to Tang Yueze’s number, "I’ll call!"

Before she could dial, Lu Jinxuan stretched his long arm, grabbed the phone, and held it high in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Yu Sangwan was beyond confused, "If you don’t call him, what are you going to do? Or, just go back yourself!"

Lu Jinxuan furrowed his brow and said softly, "Can’t go back."

"Huh?" Yu Sangwan was utterly surprised, feeling the need to have a good talk with him, "What’s going on? You appear here so strangely, won’t contact Tang Yueze, and won’t go back to Original House... What’s the matter with you? Can you tell me?"

Lu Jinxuan’s thin lips were tightly shut, not saying a word.

"Alright!" Yu Sangwan couldn’t get a word out of him, had no way around him, "Then just stand out here by yourself! Really inexplicable, what’s wrong now?"

Shaking her head, she maneuvered around him and went inside.

The door next door closed with a ’bang,’ Lu Jinxuan appeared like a lost child looking forlornly at that door, kept watching, yet unspoken.

Inside, Yu Sangwan was restless.

"What’s wrong with him? So strange! Could he still be at the door? It’s so late... Annoying! Why is this so troublesome?"

After pacing for half an hour, Yu Sangwan still went to open the door.

Once the door opened, she was startled, Lu Jinxuan’s tall figure was standing right at her doorstep.

"You..." Yu Sangwan was so surprised she couldn’t get angry, "You’re really just going to stand there against me like this?"

Lu Jinxuan looked down, appearing very helpless.

"Fine, you win, come in then!" Yu Sangwan shook her head and turned to go inside.

Yet there was no movement behind her.

Confused, she turned around and saw Lu Jinxuan still standing motionless.

Yu Sangwan’s temper flared up; she went over and pulled him, "Come in, will you? Young Master! How much more do I have to invite you in? The one without a home now is you! I’m the one taking you in, and I have to watch your mood? Alright, alright, let’s say I’m pleading with you, Young Master, come in, please?"

Lu Jinxuan was half-dragged, half-pulled back into the apartment, such a tall figure standing there actually looked somewhat awkward.

Yu Sangwan was busy, muttering, "I don’t know what’s up with you, and I’m not interested in finding out. You sleep on the bed, I’ll sleep on the sofa..."

He’s sleeping on the bed? She’s on the sofa? Lu Jinxuan was surprised, she certainly has no sense of privilege as a girl.

"Why are you staring at me?" Yu Sangwan glared at him, shouting, "You’re almost 190 cm tall, the sofa’s too small... You can’t fit, isn’t that what you said? I’m such a shorty! Don’t look anymore! Finish tidying up and go to sleep!"

Then they each tidied up and lay down.

Lu Jinxuan could smell the scent of solid fragrance in the air; on the sofa, Yu Sangwan was already deeply asleep.

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, crouched beside the sofa, quietly and carefully observing her, murmuring, "Maybe, liking you... makes sense, definitely... it’s kind of different."

After a long gaze, Lu Jinxuan reached out and carried Yu Sangwan to the bed, talking to himself, "You need to sleep... otherwise, you’ll collapse physically."
