Chapter 1068: Chapter 1065: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (26)

The movie had been released for several days, and over those days, Bai Lu had already been spoiled thoroughly.

Thus, when facing all sorts of thrilling or horrifying scenes, her reaction was very calm.

It was Xiaolu, however, who clung to Bai Lu’s arm as if holding onto a life preserver, and from time to time, she let out bursts of screams then threw herself onto Bai Lu, causing Bai Lu to be startled not by the film’s special effects or plot, but rather by Xiaolu’s screams several times.

After the feature film ended, the screen was showing the post-credits scene, and the lights in the studio brightened.

Ning Ling, who had been quiet for over two hours, could not help but laugh and tease Xiaolu.

"Little Princess Xiaolu, your screams were even more terrifying than the movie itself."

Xiaolu, from behind Bai Lu, glared at him, "This is called being the best viewer. Unlike you guys, who watched the entire movie without any emotional shifts, blatantly wasting the director’s and actors’ efforts."

The two were so familiar with each other that they spoke without any reservations. Yan Xu seemed to have long been accustomed to their interactions, turning a deaf ear to the noise by their side, he casually browsed his mobile phone with his head down.

Bai Lu of course understood that the pair were just bickering as usual and did not get involved. Seeing that the lights were on, she stood up, walked over to Yan Xu, grabbed his wrist, and crouched down to the height of the wheelchair.

Yan Xu had disliked physical contact with others since childhood, apart from family, even someone as familiar as Ning Ling would only pat his shoulder through clothes at most.

Having his hand grabbed, he instinctively wanted to pull back.

"I’ll take your pulse..."

After Bai Lu explained, she lowered her eyes and began to count intently.

Yan Xu immediately settled down, his gaze fixed on Bai Lu’s face as he slightly lowered his head.

Perhaps because she was too busy to go out often, Bai Lu’s skin was as white as milk, yet it had a healthy peach-pink tint, giving off a clean yet vibrant complexion.

Her eyelashes were dark and long, her nose delicate and perky, her lips rosy and moist like cherry blossoms.

At that moment, her lips slightly pursed, her eyelashes fluttering gently, and her warm fingertips pressing on his left wrist.

It was merely a simple professional gesture, yet for some reason, an idea suddenly popped into Yan Xu’s mind.

Someone so intently blocking out all distractions, just to listen to his heartbeat, how romantic!

He gazed, mesmerized, at Bai Lu’s face until she let go of his hand, lifting her eyelids to meet his gaze.

"Well, very stable, not bad!"

The slightly lifted eyelids and the smiling eyes of Bai Lu made Yan Xu’s heartbeat suddenly speed up.

He fiercely pinched his palm with his nails, the pain quickly bringing him back to his senses.

Wow, had he been bewitched just now?

Could he actually think that a doctor checking a patient’s pulse was a romantic gesture?

Indeed, having been ill for a while and less physically active, even his brain had rusted and was not functioning normally.

Yan Xu quickly reigned in his fleeting emotional surge and nonchalantly nodded at Bai Lu, "Hmm, thank you!"

Upon leaving the studio, Ning Ling invited the three of them for lunch.

However, Yan Xu declined without even thinking, "No, the doctor said I shouldn’t be out for long at the moment, maybe next time."

Ning Ling didn’t believe it, "No, didn’t Doctor Bai just say you’re pretty stable?"

As he spoke, he turned to Bai Lu for confirmation.

Given Yan Xu’s current condition, staying for a meal was completely fine. However, since Yan Xu himself didn’t want to stay, Bai Lu of course had to cover for him.

"He is quite stable, but being out for two or three hours has already reached the limit. He needs to go back and lie down in bed now."

Ning Ling, unable to do anything, spread his hands, "Alright then, when you’re free someday, we’ll go out and binge eat."

After he helped Yan Xu into the car, he held the car door and asked somewhat reluctantly, "How about I come over to your house and leech a couple of meals?"

Yan Xu didn’t give him any slack, "Forget it, my Grandpa gets annoyed by you."

Ning Ling looked hurt, "Young Master, don’t be like this. I’m heading back to Jun Camp in a couple of days..."

Yan Xu pushed him away, closed the car door, then rolled down the window and said to Ning Ling outside, "Give me a call before you head back!"

As the car drove out of the alleyway, before Bai Lu could say anything, Xiao Xiao voluntarily explained on behalf of her brother, "Ling’s mouth often runs like a train. My Grandpa really finds Ling quite annoying; Ling knows this himself and doesn’t like coming to our house usually..."

Bai Lu smiled, "His personality actually makes it easy for him to make friends... but Grandpa is old and likes quiet, which is understandable."

Actually, Bai Lu didn’t see anything wrong with what Yan Xu said to Ning Ling.

What does it mean to be good brothers, good friends? It means you can speak without thinking too much, without being so circumspect. Even if sometimes the words are harsh and direct, the other person won’t be overly sensitive or get upset because of it.

It’s like how Yan Xu talks to her; he is quite direct and harsh indeed. At first, she was a bit hurt, but as she gradually understood his temperament and considered his current job and experiences, she felt that the way he was, was actually quite nice, far more loveable than those who use layers of pretty lies to cover their vile natures.

However, she would never say these things to Yan Xu.

Because as soon as it comes to being ’cute’, that guy Yan Xu would definitely blow up.

Upon returning to the Yan Family, it was just about lunchtime. After the youngsters spent some time in the courtyard, the Butler came out to call them for lunch.

"Baby boy, that boy from the Ning Family is getting promoted soon, isn’t he?"

Yan Yuan was clearly just not fond of the noise and not that he disliked Ning Ling as a person; he was quite concerned about his younger generation’s state.

"Yeah, he’s earned a second-class merit this time. He should be getting promoted."

Unlike those who only know how to squander their family’s heritage, both Yan Xu and Ning Ling were building a solid foundation for a brilliant future by stepping forward steadily, even risking their lives.

"They’ve all grown up, huh. That boy used to be so annoying and troublesome, and of course, he still is, but essentially, he’s a good kid!"

Xiao Xiao didn’t forget to boast about her brother too, "Grandpa, compared to Ling, my brother is even more outstanding and impressive, right?"

Yan Yuan looked at Yan Xu with a smile, "Of course, our Yan Family’s children are always more outstanding and impressive than other families’!"

Zhu Qianying served Bai Lu some meat, "Xiao Lizi, don’t mind them, they are just blowing flattery!"

Although, as a mother, Zhu Qianying did blow quite a lot of flattery herself.

Bai Lu smiled sweetly in response, "Actually, in every parent’s and elder’s eyes, their own child is the most impressive and outstanding. But Yan Xu is just naturally like this, how can it be considered flattery!"

Xiao Xiao laughed and pointed at Bai Lu, "Sister, you’re done for! You’ve been completely charmed by my brother’s radiant image!"

Zhu Qianying hurriedly corrected her, "Silly girl, it’s charmed, not terrified!"
