Ding dong.
Xu Lie's phone rang, and upon opening it, he saw a message from Lu Youyou: "Is your foot not healed yet? It's been almost a week. Do you want me to buy some ointment for you?"
This time it wasn't just a text; they were communicating through an app similar to WeChat in Xu Lie's previous life, allowing them to send messages without worrying about phone bills. As a result, Lu Youyou became even more persistent, checking in on Xu Lie's foot injury daily like clocking in for work.
Such punctuality was a waste if she didn't work in a factory tightening screws. Xu Lie had grown accustomed to Lu Youyou's inquiries and felt no stir of emotion. A casual remark from him would always elicit laughter from the audience.
"Only you, Nan Er! The Female Second Lead is such a good person, thinking about letting her work in the factory tightening screws."
"I don't know why, but I feel like Xu Lie and Lu Youyou are way funnier together than the main couple."
"Most of the Third Yi consists of the male and female leads getting jealous and explaining things, which is obviously boring. But Xu Lie's reactions to messages show that they have each other added as friends on the chat app. Lu Youyou must have sent similar messages quite often. Oh, and Xu Lie's background looks simpler; is he back home instead of staying in a hotel?"
"I admire you detail-oriented viewers who dig deep into the plot. Unlike me, I just watch for fun without thinking much."
After a few days of practice, Xu Lie had mastered the art of multitasking—doing his work while casually browsing through the audience comments. He quickly replied to Lu Youyou with two words: "It's fine."
Ding dong, ding dong ding dong.
Lu Youyou sent three consecutive messages: "Yesterday when I asked you, didn’t you say it still hurt a bit? By the way, since it’s the weekend, how about I treat you to dinner?"
Accompanied by an adorable cat meme with a napkin around its neck, looking ready to eat.
Her typing speed was impressive. Xu Lie contemplated whether he should turn off the notification sound while also sending back a question mark.
The audience could see on Xu Lie's phone that solitary question mark.
"Xu Lie sent two words, and Lu Youyou replied with two sentences and a meme. No wonder Xu Lie wants her in the factory; with that speed, she could tighten screws in no time!"
"I can relate; my girlfriend does the same thing—if I say one thing, she can reply with six."
"Wake up! You don't have a girlfriend! Boo hoo! I'm so envious they can communicate like that!"
"A date! This is definitely a date; I'm shipping them!"
Xu Lie wasn't as excited as the audience; he still harbored doubts about Lu Youyou. Today was supposed to be his big day at Gene Cold Storage—was Lu Youyou inviting him out because she was genuinely concerned about his foot healing, or was she trying to distract him?
After some thought, it should be the front.
The past few days have been the same; the Mini Robot has been dispatched to monitor Lu Youyou. Xu Lie has not detected any signs or actions of her leaking information. The Ancheng Police have not released Xu Lie's messages, so as an ordinary person, Lu Youyou should have no way of knowing what he is up to today.
Based on this assessment, it seems purely coincidental. Meanwhile, Lu Youyou is unaware of Xu Lie's brainstorming session. She has happily approached her wardrobe, smiling as she selects clothes while replying to him: "Consider this a thank you and a celebration for your recovery."
After all, your sprained ankle was partly my fault. Concluding that there’s no need for further suspicion, Xu Lie inquires about the time and place.
Lu Youyou sees the reply pop up and jumps up with excitement, letting out a soft cheer: "Yay!" She quickly rushes to her wardrobe, typing with one hand while her eyes dart back and forth among the clothes, looking as gleeful as a weasel eyeing a chicken coop.
Now that Xu Lie's leg has healed, he can go out, and I must keep an eye on him to prevent him from getting into trouble again.
