"Hey, what's going on with you and the Brother Pei inside?"
How did he feel he missed quite a lot while he was secluded all this time? He had sensed something was off between them during New Year's, and just now it was blatantly obvious.
There was a vibe that Xiao Zhaoyang was deliberately avoiding him, a very subtle tension between them.
Fu Xunzhao's eyelashes fluttered slightly, his voice somewhat lazy, "Nothing's up, just been busier since starting university so we haven't been in touch much."
Lin Zirui: "..."
I'm just watching you spout nonsense, what a load of excuses.
He himself had been chatting regularly with Fu Xunzhao even during his seclusion.
Behind them, Jiang Mian and Pei Chuan opened the door, "Xiao Zhaoyang, your great-grandfather has woken up."
