"Ring ring——"
Hmm (O_o)???
Who is it this time? Did Old Ma leave something out?
Lin Xuan frowned and looked down, glanced at the phone screen, and was surprised to find that the caller this time.....
Was actually Chen Kexin?!!
"Moshi moshi~~ onii-chan, you there?"
"I'm Magical Girl Xiaoxin, please respond, please respond! ?('ω')? get!"
Hearing the little Loli's chuunibyo-laden inquiry, Lin Xuan silently replied: "Did not copy! Repeat, did not copy!"
After saying that, he hung up immediately.
Beep beep beep ——
Jinling High-Speed Rail Station.
The little Loli in full Lolita outfit listened to the busy tone from the phone and was instantly dumbfounded Σ(☉▽☉"a.
(?｀?Д?′)!!!
Grinding her teeth in anger, she immediately dialed back.
"Heyyy~~ onii-chan~ why'd you~ hang up on me?! |?)"
"Spit it out if you have something to say. If it's just hot air, say it fast. Keep babbling and I'll block you!"
.......
Chen Kexin pouted, (＃￣～￣＃) looking thoroughly depressed.
But to avoid being blocked, she cut to the chase and explained why she called.
"Can you do me a favor and write a song for a friend?"
"Write a song? For who? Didn't you say you were traveling to Jinling? How come you suddenly want me to write a song?"
"Susu says she's not feeling well! ┐(?～?)┌ No helping it, we have to cut the trip short for now. We're at the high-speed rail entrance and planning to head back to Magic City!"
Glancing at the silent Bai Susu beside her, the little Loli explained their situation.
"As for that friend, not really a friend! His company works with my family's; he heard I know [L] and came to ask me."
"You should know him! The hot little fresh meat in the entertainment world lately, the Tang family's third young master—Tang Chuan."
"He's joined our family's D-Site and we've met a few times. And the Tang family has clout, so my parents asked me to help ask."
"Oh, and! Tang Chuan is a superfan of yours! I think being on good terms with him won't hurt, so I figured I'd ask you....."
"If you don't agree, then pretend I never said anything—I'll go refuse him!"
......
Tang Chuan? It's actually him?
Speaking of which.....
That little brat even posted on Weibo roasting me last night?!
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes; a sudden glint flashed within, and the corner of his mouth curled into a playful arc.
If the one asking for a song were anyone else who came because of his reputation, Lin Xuan wouldn't even think about it—o(￣ヘ￣o＃) a 100% immediate refusal.
But never did he expect.....
That the one coming was his foolish little cousin~~~
That made the situation very different.
He'd already been thinking of mending ties with the Tang family; Tang Chuan's appearance might be an opportunity.
Back then, his former self, because of [mania], [believing rumors] and various other reasons, had fierce conflicts with his maternal family.
Especially the last 'stealing underwear' incident.....
The two sides completely broke off because of it and didn't have any contact for three whole years.....
As for this cousin, in his memory he wasn't bad—pretty righteous, actually.
After learning that his former self's mother had passed away and that Lin Jianjun had brought the illegitimate son home, he'd even called this cousin to offer comfort and ask if he needed help....
But at that time Lin Xuan had been manipulated and blamed his mother's accidental death entirely on the Tang family, doing many unreasonable things.
In the end..... he chilled everyone's hearts.
Fortunately, now everything was still in time; with his intervention, the Tang family wouldn't later..... end up destroyed and shattered......
.......
"Alright! I agree. But my identity still needs to stay secret!"
Seeing that Chen Kexin seemed unaware of his relationship with the Tang family, Lin Xuan didn't explain—just reminded her.
The hidden identity of [L] was very useful; he wasn't ready to reveal it yet.
"?( 'ω' )? get, received!"
"Then I'll give him your alt account! I'll have Tang Chuan contact you himself!"
"Okay!"
With that, Lin Xuan didn't wait for the little Loli's reply and hung up directly.
Jinling High-Speed Rail Station.
Listening to the "beep beep beep——" busy tone, the corner of Chen Kexin's mouth twitched.
"Damn! [○?｀Д′? ○] Nasty onii-chan, hanging up on me again and again~~"
"I'm really mad now! I'm gonna tattle to Sister Qingge!!! w(?Д?)w aaaa!!!"
.......
In a fit of anger, Chen Kexin got even angrier.
Imitating Goku's transformation pose from Dragon Ball, she threw her head back and roared in the bustling high-speed rail station!!!
"Aaaaah!!! Rage meter maxed—transform! I am a Super Saiyan!!!"
This earth-shaking commotion instantly drew countless curious, bewildered looks from passersby.
But the little Loli couldn't care less?!
Immersed in her own chuunibyo world, she planted clenched fists at her hips, endlessly going "ah ah ah" as she mimicked a Saiyan transformation!
When she finally got it all out of her system, she looked around and was surprised to find that Bai Susu, who'd been right beside her before.....
Had mysteriously vanished at this moment (òωó?)?!!!
Luckily.....
Sharp-eyed Chen Kexin immediately spotted Bai Susu not far away, squeezing desperately into the crowd,
"Susu, where are you going? You're going the wrong way—the waiting area is this way!"
"We haven't checked in yet! Wait for me—where are you going? Why are you running so fast? |?)"
.......
Seeing that Bai Susu not only ignored her but sped up even more.
Baffled, Chen Kexin instinctively called out as she chased, but the other sped up again, forcing the little Loli to suddenly accelerate as well.
And so, at the station entrance, under the bewildered gazes of passersby, the two girls staged a scene of one fleeing and one chasing—neither able to sprout wings and escape.....
'Help!!! This is so embarrassing!!!'
'I must have lost my mind—to choose to travel with her?!!'
'I can't shake her off, ??? somebody save me!!!'
'Don't chase me!!! You don't know me! I don't know you either!!!
........
Bai Susu regretted it bitterly.
In just this one day, because of Chen Kexin's chuunibyo antics, she'd suffered more strange looks than in all her decades combined, almost dying of secondhand social embarrassment.
Finally, when the little Loli "transformed into a Super Saiyan" ┌(.Д.)┐, Bai Susu... ran.
She tried desperately to get away from Chen Kexin, signaling with her eyes to those around her: I don't know her!!!
Unfortunately....
"Susu, wait for me! Why are you running so fast? |_?) What if you fall?"
Seeing Chen Kexin about to catch up, Bai Susu despaired! ┌(.Д.)┐
"Don't come over here!!!!!"
