Lu Youyou was enveloped in a low-pressure atmosphere, silently expressing her frustration to those around her. The teacher at the podium noticed her distress and asked a few questions, confirming that she wasn't feeling unwell before continuing the lecture.
"How amusing! Why do I find it so entertaining to see a girl angry?"
"I can understand. After being so tangled up for so long, trying to get Xu Lie's number and not being able to reach him—who wouldn't be frustrated?"
"By the way, what has Xu Lie been up to? Is he really just resting at home with a sprained ankle?"
"It doesn't seem like it. Based on my judgment with Lu Youyou, Xu Lie must be causing some trouble."
As the comments from the audience continued to tease Lu Youyou, a light melody suddenly played, interrupting the teacher's lecture. The teacher frowned and turned towards the sound, noticing Lu Youyou frantically pulling out her phone.
Lu Youyou felt extremely embarrassed as she saw the caller ID displaying Xu Lie's name. She nearly bit her tongue in frustration. "I-I’m sorry, teacher! I have to take this call."
Laughter erupted from the audience once more; Lu Youyou was simply too entertaining for them. The teacher furrowed his brow, recalling Lu Youyou's earlier low spirits. Seeing her sincere apology, he waved his hand, signaling her to go ahead.
Gratefully, Lu Youyou thanked the teacher and dashed out of the classroom, rushing to the stairwell to answer the call. "Do you know I'm in class right now?!"
On the other end of the line, Xu Lie was equally confused. "In class? Then why did you text me so urgently?"
Earlier, when Lu Youyou couldn't get through on the phone, she had sent a message saying she needed to speak with him urgently. Xu Lie had thought this girl was ready to spill secrets.
But now she was in class?
To avoid further complications, Xu Lie reluctantly decided to retract his Smart Mini Robot. He had been cautious about Lu Youyou but couldn't let that hinder his actions completely.
Fortunately, on the first night of the incident, Lu Youyou hadn’t reported anything, which lowered the chances of her doing so later. With Danmaku keeping an eye on things, Xu Lie didn’t have to monitor Lu Youyou constantly.
Previously, when watching Danmaku’s comments, they were mostly about Lu Youyou trying to contact Lin Yuanliang. Xu Lie had even thought that Lu Youyou wasn’t at school anymore.
The scene shifted back to Xu Lie’s luxurious hotel room, showcasing his current surroundings to the viewers.
The hotel room exuded a sense of understated luxury, devoid of dazzling decorations, yet adorned with exquisite landscape and floral paintings reminiscent of a court artist's work. Every piece of furniture was handcrafted, showcasing unique artistry; in this realm, the value of handmade creations far surpassed that of Xu Lie's previous possessions.
Having exchanged his remaining points for an endless supply of cash, Xu Lie naturally intended to indulge himself. He sensed the camera's gaze penetrating the space and tucked away his casual demeanor, adopting a slightly more serious tone. "I saw your message saying it was urgent, so I called you back."
"This room is quite upscale. Does the guy come from a good background? I thought his sister worked hard just to make ends meet for him?"
"This must be a hotel suite; it doesn't look like a home."
"Maybe after his sister passed away, he became determined and earned a lot of money. But why is he staying in a hotel? It's really mysterious."
Lu Youyou bit her lip, wanting to vent her long-suppressed frustrations. However, she ultimately held back. Although these negative feelings stemmed from Xu Lie, she didn’t want to take it out on him. The priority was to clarify Xu Lie's whereabouts. "Where are you?" she asked.
