Chapter 229: 085 Can’t Afford to Provoke (Second Update)_3
Xiangcheng Hotel Room 1205.
Knocking.
Inside, Yan Lu was taking a shower in the bathroom; knowing her propensity for cleanliness, her sister knew it would be a long one.
She opened the door to find a tall, handsome young man standing outside, “Ah, are you… little brother Zhang?”
Zhang Shize did, after all, represent the face of the male students at Xiangcheng No.1 Middle School.
Her sister recognized Zhang Shize and called out to the bathroom, “Yan Lu, little brother Zhang has come to see you.”
Bathroom.
Yan Lu’s hand shook, and the razor blade slipped from her wrist. She quickly stood up from the water, dried herself off, and got dressed before coming out.
With her tall stature and long legs, she wore the hotel’s slippers as she came out, drying her hair along the way, “What are you doing here instead of doing homework at home?”
“Just received a bouquet of flowers,” Zhang Shize chuckled, taking out a large bunch of iris flowers from behind him and handing them to Yan Lu, “I brought them to you.”
The motion of Yan Lu drying her hair came to a halt; she looked down at the bunch of pure white irises, glistening with water droplets.
It took her a while to hesitate before she reached out and took them.
“Thank you.”
Zhang Shize reached out and gave Yan Lu a very light hug for the first time, speaking softly, “Yan Lu, it’s going to be all right.”
After speaking, he pulled his cap down.
He turned and walked out the door.
The door closed behind him.
Only then did Yan Lu’s sister turn around with a stunned expression, looking at Yan Lu holding the flowers, and she couldn’t help but doubt, “You’re faking your germaphobia, aren’t you?”
Yan Lu ignored her, put the flowers away, and went back to the bathroom to throw the razor blade in the trash can.
The next day.
Bai Lian arrived at school, and Pu Xiaohan asked her usual daily question.
After receiving a negative response, she relayed the message to Dean Jian.
“Looks like this good person is going to be late again today.” Just before class started, Zhang Shize still hadn’t arrived, prompting Pu Xiaohan to glance at his empty desk with a raised eyebrow.
Him being late was the norm for Class 15. freёwebnovel.com
Bai Lian opened her book, not surprised by this either.
However, today was out of the ordinary for everyone, as Zhang Shize didn’t come to school at all.
Even Lu Lingxi had no idea what the specific situation was.
In the evening, after school.
Bai Lian and a few others, including Pu Xiaohan, decided to inquire at his mother’s flower shop.
Zhang’s family lived above the flower shop, but the shop had not opened that day either. There was a backyard; Pu Xiaohan glanced at Bai Lian.
Bai Lian, holding a phone in one hand and a question bank in the other, gestured with a nod of her chin.
Pu Xiaohan understood the signal and began to knock on the backyard door, “Aunt Zhang, are you home?”
