There had never been a person in Ru's life who actually dared to insinuate that she was a thief! Breaking into unrestricted places was a hobby that she had picked up over the years but she had never stolen anything from anyone.
But considering the amount of data she had illegally acquired through her hacking, she could be called a thief. No! She shook her head denying her own thoughts. If she said she was not a thief than that was it!
"How can you call your own sworn brother a thief?" Ru gave him an accusing look.
Xiao Zhi Ren leisurely propped his face on his hand and said, "Rong, there is indeed something you do want to steal." He had a meaningful look in his eyes. "Forget it, when are you coming back?"
"I'll take a few days," she replied offhandedly. "If there is nothing else, Bye!" Before Xiao Zhi Ren could even utter a word, she pressed the keys to disconnect the call and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Phew! That was... one hell of an experience." She suddenly thought of a possibility; what if Xiao Zhi Ren would have seen her wrapped in this towel? He would feel so betrayed.
Oddly, she didn't even think for a second about her own self. Her mind was completely filled up with the thought of seeing Xiao Zhi Ren disappointed in her. Perhaps, unknowingly the person named Xiao Zhi Ren had become a huge part of her life.
On the other hand, Xiao Zhi Ren was tapping his chin apathetically. He seemed to have found Ru's behavior a bit unlikely. He had seen Ru being assertive in speech and her aura as well. And yet, today he could see that Ru was seemingly on edge. Like she was really scared of something.
Scared? He shook his head in negation to himself. There is no way that person could be scared. Pondering over a bit carefully, he wondered, "Hiding? Yes, he must be trying to hide something from me." Xiao Zhi Ren seemed satisfied with his own postulation. But now the question remained; "What was he hiding?"
"You're still awake?" Qin Qu's voice disturbed Xiao Zhi Ren's process of thinking out loud.
Staring back at Qin Qu, Xiao Zhi Ren came up with a thought and said, "Qu, help me understand a situation."
Qin Qu immediately took a seat to listen seemingly very intrigued to know this 'situation' of Xiao Zhi Ren.
Xiao Zhi Ren straightened up and tried to explain, "When I called a friend, he was hiding under the table. I could tell that he was half-naked, or perhaps completely. I don't know but he acted like he was hiding something from me. He was in a hurry to hang up as well." He neither mentioned the name of this 'friend' nor the content of his conversation.
Qin Qu listened attentively and after Xiao Zhi Ren was trying to make sense to him, Qin Qu went up to his side and slapped the back of his head. "This is why I told you to get a girlfriend."
Xiao Zhi Ren, who was rubbing his head with a scowl asked indignantly, "What does this have to do with a girlfriend?"
"You fool! That friend of yours looked flushed, damp hair, a bit on edge and in a hurry. He even hid under the table. Now, who can be sure that he wasn't hiding his girlfriend from you?" Xiao Zhi Ren frowned since this explanation really didn't seem right to him. Rong and girlfriend? Impossible!
Seeing the uncertain look in Xiao Zhi Ren's eyes, he added, "Come on! He could be playing the 'hide my sausage' when you caught him off guard with your call."
Xiao Zhi Ren again tried to recall the situation. Indeed, Ru's behavior was suspicious as she kept looking downward. He only saw her one hand while the other one wasn't even lifted. Her cheeks were flushed and now that he paid attention, he could vaguely remember that Ru's lips were also red. Perhaps from kissing?
'Was Rong really hiding his girlfriend?' Xiao Zhi Ren thought to himself unsurely. It still seemed far-fetched. 'But Rong told me he has no girlfriend. But the young man is too handsome for his own good. With those looks, it wouldn't odd if he really has found a girlfriend this soon.'
Suddenly, he slammed his fist on the table startling Qin Qu as well with his movement. "He went all the way to London in a hurry. There must be a girlfriend waiting for him. Right?"
Qin Qu didn't know why Xiao Zhi Ren was acting like this but seeing that he seemed so certain, Qin Qu simply nodded agreeing with whatever Xiao Zhi Ren was spouting.
