After dinner, Zhou Mingchen made the excuse of wanting to go for a walk and prepared to leave the house.
Before he could step out the door, Xia Lu ran up to him and clung to his arm, "Since you're going for a walk, I'll join you. I feel like I ate too much tonight anyway."
Zhou Mingchen hesitated for a moment. Ye Shaotang had chosen this means to convey the message, clearly because he did not want others to know. Otherwise, he could just have made a phone call or visited him directly. He must have been worried Xia Lu would overhear if she were nearby.
"There are mosquitoes outside."
"It's already September; even if there are mosquitoes, they won't bite," Xia Lu pouted. "Besides, I asked the property management, and they regularly exterminate insects, mosquitoes included."
"Then how did you get bitten when you were locked outside before?"
Xia Lu thought it over, realizing he had a point, "Then I'll just wear long clothes." Saying this, she ran upstairs to change.
