Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 25

Ch25 - The Only Human Didi
Ji Xiunian didn’t have a habit of eavesdropping on other people’s phone conversations, it was only because Lu Xu was standing by the window at the entrance of the staircase that he couldn’t help but overhear a few phrases while he was walking up.

“When the time comes I’ll send it to you, then we can meet…”

“They’ve stolen quite a few of your orders as well these past few years…”

He vaguely remembered that Lu Xu had said he worked part-time in sales, but he didn’t think that he would still be working even after joining the competition.

Come to think of it, Lu Xu was only 18 years old this year. Kids his age should be studying. Ji Xiunian also remembered the scene of Lu Xu phoning his cat on the show, and couldn’t help but let out a little sigh.

He saw that Lu Xu was standing by the window and talking in a gentle tone of voice, saying comforting words. This kind of Lu Xu was rare to see and made him think that this youth was very warm and kind. Ji Xiunian wondered who the person on the other end of the line was.

“Girlfriend?”

The moment he said this, even Ji Xiunian himself was shocked. He couldn’t understand why he was asking about other people’s personal matters.

Lu Xu hung up the phone and turned around. A fleeting hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. “My co-worker… Mn, my brothers.”

Seeing that Lu Xu was serious in his explanation, Ji Xiunian felt his mood inexplicably lighten up. “I also watched the premiere today. You did really well.”

“Thank you, Nian ge.” In the face of Ji Xiunian’s praise, Lu Xu’s smile was bright, thinking that when he saw Ji Xiunian, he saw work performance results.

This smile held an entirely different meaning for Ji Xiunian however.

‘Looks like he really does like me.’

Fan Zeng had told him at the start that Lu Xu was his fan. Lu Xu’s eyes had been shining bright as soon as he appeared on the show, and when other trainees asked him, Lu Xu also openly admitted that he liked Ji Xiunian.

Ji Xiunian had met too many artists who depended on famous names to boost their own popularity, but this innocent and sincere Lu Xu couldn’t be like that.

As his idol, he should definitely say something.

That’s what Jiu Xiunian was thinking, so he turned to Lu Xu and opened his mouth. “Good luck with the next few days.”

Lu Xu was good-natured and readily responded, “Okay.”

“That… If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to my room first. You should rest early too.” Ji Xiunian nodded at Lu Xu, then turned around to leave.

Lu Xu lowered his gaze and looked at his phone, then chased after Ji Xiunian, calling out, “Nian ge, can I add you on WeChat?”

“Hm?”

Lu Xu rubbed his hair and laughed a bit awkwardly. “We took a picture together before, didn’t we? I was thinking that if it was convenient, you could send it to me. Of course, if it’s not convenient…”

“It’s convenient.” The other person’s voice was trailing off as he spoke, and Ji Xiunian didn’t want Lu Xu’s joy to falter, so he immediately opened up his QR code. “Go ahead and scan it.”

“Okie!” The corners of Lu Xu’s mouth lifted upwards. He then sent the verification message.

Ji Xiunian clicked on the verification message, and saw that Lu Xu’s Wechat name was “SS-Lu Xu”, so he asked, “The SS in front of your name is?”
