Chapter 229: Still Going

If Lu Huaiyu wanted to pick someone up in Lincheng, that could only be Ning Li.

Cheng Xiyue glanced at Lu Huaiyu next to him.

‘Strange… He hadn’t mentioned this when he was on the phone with Little Ning Li earlier. Why so sudden?’

Besides, Lincheng and Yunzhou were not very far away, so it was very convenient to go back and forth.

‘Did Little Ning Li go back alone this time?’

Since Lu Huaiyu did not say anything else, Cheng Xiyue did not ask anything further, especially at a time when Lu Huaiyu was in such a state.

‘My arm is still sore!’

“Okay. What time?”

Lu Huaiyu took out his phone and sent a message to Ning Li.

Cheng Xiyue was speechless.

‘So… It’s a last-minute decision that even Little Ning Li doesn’t know about yet!’

…

[What time are you coming back tomorrow? I’ll go to Lincheng to pick you up.]

When Ning Li received Lu Huaiyu’s message, she had already gone home and had just washed up to prepare for bed.

She saw the message and was a little puzzled.

[Second Brother, you don’t have to come. I’ll just take the high-speed train tomorrow by myself.]

Originally, she had planned to let Ji Shu send her home. However, since she had bumped into Gu Tinglan and Gu Siyang, it was not ideal since she had rejected their offer.

Fortunately, this was also her intention, so it was not a problem.

[Cheng Xiyue’s going back to Lincheng for a bit, so it’s no trouble.]

Ning Li remembered that Cheng Xiyue had been to Lincheng quite a few times before.

The distance between the two cities was short, and the Cheng family also had businesses in the new area of Lincheng.

‘But…isn’t this still too much trouble?’

Ning Li started typing in the dialog box, but before she could send it, Lu Huaiyu called.

She inexplicably felt a hint of Lu Huaiyu’s insistence.

Ning Li was lying on her bed at this moment and had nestled under the quilt.

This house was very old and had no heating, so it was quite cold now at night during the winter.

Seeing his incoming call, Ning Li hesitated before answering the phone.

“Hello, Second Brother?”

Her voice sounded a bit muffled.

Lu Huaiyu paused for a moment.

“Are you already asleep?”

“No.”

Ning Li pushed away the covers to expose her head.

“But almost.”

Lincheng was a laidback city. The roads were basically deserted before 10:00 pm.

Everyone was at home and rested early.

Ning Li knew the meaning of his call and spoke after some deliberation.

“Second Brother, I still have something to do tomorrow. I’ll probably leave in the afternoon, but I’m not sure when exactly, so I won’t bother you and Brother Xiyue.”
