"Ugh, what do you mean by blowing up my whole family?" Lu Youyou spat, her eyes suddenly brightening. "Home, right! Why don't you hide at my place, Xu Lie?"
My parents and my sister all spoil me; I should be able to convince them.
Images of her family's indulgence flashed in Lu Youyou's mind. Whenever she craved something, her parents would buy it for her. Whatever fun activities she wanted to do, her sister would take her along. If she acted a little spoiled with her family, perhaps she could hide Xu Lie!
Xu Lie felt a sudden urge to call for emergency help for this naive girl, to get her checked out at a neurology clinic. Was there really nothing wrong with her head? No matter how doting your parents are, would they still allow you to harbor an Explosive Offender?
What kind of argument would ensue between Lu Youyou and her parents when they found out? There was also the possibility that they would pretend to agree, and on the first night Xu Lie was hiding there, while he was sleeping soundly, Lu Ba would suddenly turn him in with a phone call.
Of course, that might be a bit exaggerated, but reporting him was certainly a given. This wasn't about whether Lu Ba and Lu Ma spoiled Youyou; it was simply the precaution any responsible parent would take.
Xu Lie opened his mouth to say something—couldn’t she think this through? But considering Lu Youyou’s perspective, he ultimately held back his harsh words. He didn’t want to point out that this plan would create significant conflict in her family; instead, he took a different approach to deny it: "No."
I just said that the Special Investigation Team will definitely find you through your recent call records. One day, they will come knocking on your door.
Going to your house is no different from walking into a trap.
Lu Youyou dismissed his concerns. "You can just hide somewhere, like under the bed or something."
Xu Lie inhaled sharply. For the first time, he realized that he could actually be driven crazy by a girl’s foolishness. "Girl, do you even hear what you're saying?"
Do you think the Special Investigation Team is some kind of joke? Do you think I can just hide under the bed like I'm some kind of secret lover?
Not to mention the surveillance along the way that could clearly capture him returning home with Lu Youyou. Even if Xu Lie managed to avoid all cameras, what difference would it make? If the investigation team had any suspicions at all and noticed changes in electricity or water usage or even food portions, how could they not realize someone was hiding in that house?
Unlike Xu Lie's reaction, most viewers watching the show didn’t think deeply; they simply flooded the comments with messages like "Lu Youyou is so lucky!"
Xu Lie's gums began to ache. In short, it was a firm no.
"Don't worry about me. Since I've anticipated this, how could I be unprepared? You should be more concerned about yourself."
"When the time comes for you to be invited in for tea, don't end up so scared that you lose control."
Under normal circumstances, Lu Youyou would have likely fought back against Xu Lie's words, arguing fiercely while chasing after him to avoid being scared. However, given the current urgent situation, she couldn't afford to be petty.
She could only lightly tap Xu Lie as a way to dismiss the matter. "But you didn't threaten me. Keeping your secret was my own choice."
Xu Lie's facial muscles began to twitch, and he struggled to maintain his smile. What a foolish girl, he thought, to be so naive.
He decided not to smile anymore and adopted a serious expression. "Lu Youyou! Think carefully about how much trouble you might bring to your family if you speak the truth later. If you say I threatened you and scared you, that's understandable. You can just ask and then go home safely. But if you say it was voluntary, there's a high chance you'll get dragged into this mess. What will your family do then? They will surely be heartbroken over it."
