Elsewhere, after Lu Jiaoyue dragged Lu Xiaoxiao back to their room, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately started asking about what had just happened.
"Jiaoyue, what was it you said you wanted to tell me?"
"Huh? Well... um..." Lu Jiaoyue, who had only been desperate to get her older sister out of there, blinked and stood blankly for a good while before remembering that she actually did have something to tell her. "Oh, I remember! It's, um... Gu... Gu Sipei invited me over to his place! Do you think I should go?"
"Huh? Gu Sipei?"
Hearing Lu Jiaoyue's words, Lu Xiaoxiao was momentarily taken aback.
There was no particular reason for it other than that so many other random things had happened lately that she had practically forgotten the original male lead even existed.
The last time she had talked to Lu Jiaoyue about him had probably been when Gu Sipei wanted to take Lu Jiaoyue to that cocktail party, right?
She had originally thought things were going well and hadn't intended to interfere, but 037 had insisted that the romance between the leads was developing too quickly, causing the world's will to reject her, blah blah blah. In the end, she had made Lu Jiaoyue stand him up.
...Just remembering that was infuriating, so afterward, Lu Xiaoxiao had cursed that damned world's will to 037 more than once.
Uh, but based on what she knew about Gu Sipei, surely being stood up like that would have made him at least a little furious?
It was one thing for him not to have held it against her all this time, but now he could even calmly invite Lu Jiaoyue over to his place... why did it feel like there was a catch somewhere?
Thinking it over, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't answer Lu Jiaoyue right
