Luo Ye stood on the dorm balcony, watching the fine drizzle outside the window.
Thinking back to Fairy Senior Sister's question just now, Luo Ye called Gu Mingxuan.
The phone rang for a long time. The first call even went unanswered.
Luo Ye's expression gradually turned serious.
Brother Gu was actually breaking precedent by not answering his call?
Could something have happened?
Luo Ye dialed again.
This time, the call was answered quickly.
"What is it?"
Gu Mingxuan seemed to be in a car; Luo Ye could hear car horns in the background.
"Brother Gu, why are you still in London? I heard your competition was already over."
"This... well, I have something to take care of here."
"Something's off, Brother Gu. Aren't you just brushing me off with that?"
Gu Mingxuan had never said anything so vague. There was no point to that sentence, just pure deflection.
That was not Gu Mingxuan's style.
What did he mean, he had something to take care of?
If there really was something, he should have simply said what it was.
"Huh? What did you say? I can't hear you. The signal's bad. Overseas reception really can't compare to back home."
As he spoke, Gu Mingxuan prepared to hang up.
Luo Ye casually said, "Brother Gu, Aunt is abroad too. She probably doesn't know you haven't gone home yet. About this, I think..."
"Little brother, how did you become like this?"
Gu Mingxuan was heartbroken. The little brother who had once obeyed his every word was now threatening him.
"Can't be helped, Brother Gu. I'm too curious."
"I think it's not you who's curious. It's someone else, right?"
"Hehehe."
That single "hehehe" instantly shattered Gu Mingxuan's defenses.
That damned traitorous disciple had actually turned his sweet, obedient little brother into this.
It hurt.
