Lu Sinian is no longer surprised by their clinginess, but Ji Niandong's expression was just too strange. She put down her backpack off her shoulder and asked curiously, "Why are you both looking at me like that? Did you do something guilty?"
While kids can be mischievously clever, they aren't master actors. Ji Niandong figured he hadn't caught them, so she breathed a sigh of relief, got up from Lu Beichen's embrace, and said with an awkward smile, "No way, Sister Tongtong just finds it amazing how Nian Nian appears like magic again, without making a sound!"
"I just came in!" He rolled his eyes, ignoring their closeness, "Can't stand you guys!"
He grabbed his backpack and headed straight to his room, his demeanor turning rather aloof!
Lu Beichen also let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief, and Ji Niandong playfully punched him, "Never do this again in the future!"
"Okay." Lu Beichen nodded but added, "Even having one is too annoying, shouldn't have more!"
