Fell In Love With My Older Sister’s Friend - Chapter 67

The reason Xu Luzhi could recognize it was purely because since opening the door to a new world, she had done a lot of research and had already picked out the brands she wanted to buy.

However, due to moral constraints, she hesitated to make the purchase.

Now, seeing the iconic brand pattern in Yi Liang’s hand, she reacted almost instinctively, taking a moment to process.

Should it be said that they are truly sisters, sharing the same aesthetic, even choosing the same model of little toy?

Thinking of this, Xu Luzhi’s face felt a little hot, but it was thankfully not visible in the dark. She regained her composure and asked cautiously, “Then how did it happen that you were the one delivering it?”

Yi Liang looked impatient: “Haven’t you seen people working?”

This wasn’t untrue; being able to afford a discounted plane ticket was her limit. For the next few days, she had to earn money to cover her food, clothing, and shelter.

Fortunately, she was used to working whether dancing or delivering takeout, she was open about it and never felt ashamed.

Of course, Yi Liang had a little plan. This hotel was very expensive and had excellent security, so she couldn’t get in. She had waited several days, hoping to catch a takeout order from the hotel.

That way, she could legitimately stand in front of Xu Luwei’s room for a little while without disturbing her.

Of course, it would be even better if Xu Luwei happened to open the door and they ran into each other.

She hadn’t expected to receive a takeout order at two in the morning, and it was actually ordered by Xu Luwei, the person she longed for, and the contents were so explosive…

Yi Liang’s heart pounded, and the takeout bag in her hand felt like a hot potato. She knew what this meant; the longing buried deep in her heart fluttered like a caged sparrow desperate to escape.

Xu Luwei wasn’t unfeeling; she had desires. Was she thinking of her?

Not wanting to get entangled with Xu Luzhi any further, Yi Liang tried her best to maintain a pleasant expression, even adding a hint of pleading: “Can I go through now? The order is almost past the time limit.”

Xu Luzhi instinctively wanted to let her pass but grabbed the takeout bag again, smiling tentatively: “Do you know what’s in here?”

Yi Liang cleverly shook her head: “I’m only responsible for delivering.”

“Fine,” Xu Luzhi said, her palm tightly gripping the takeout bag, smiling sweetly, “Then thank you for your hard work, I’ll take it to my sister.”

Saying this, she started to pull it back. Yi Liang subconsciously tugged on a corner of the bag and blurted out, “No!”

Fearing she might arouse suspicion, Yi Liang lowered her voice, her phoenix eyes cast down: “N-no one else can deliver it, or I’ll be docked my pay.”

Xu Luzhi’s expression remained unchanged. She took out a black card from her pocket and slipped it into Yi Liang’s palm, her tone melodious and sweet, yet undeniably cold: “Thank you for your trouble.”

Yi Liang’s phoenix eyes snapped wide open. She had never seen so much money in her life. This card alone was enough for her college tuition and living expenses, perhaps even securing her comfort for the latter half of her life.

Xu Luzhi added, “Don’t appear in front of my sister.”

When she said this, she was wearing a pale yellow hooded pajama set, her round eyes showing a trace of sleepiness, her small face delicate and cute, making one want to hug her.

Yet, she was so indifferent and calm, dealing a ruthless blow without hesitation, all to protect her sister.

Of course, to Yi Liang, it was purely separating a couple.

Yi Liang fell silent for a moment. Facing the wealth within easy reach, the silver bells on her wrist jingled incessantly, as if reminding her not to waver.

They also constantly reminded her of the vast gap between her and Xu Luwei.

So vast that she was delivering takeout late at night while Xu Luwei slept soundly in a high-end suite, casually taking out a card that signified disregard.

Facing this girl slightly shorter than herself, Yi Liang inexplicably felt a sense of awe. She hesitated for a second, then handed the card back: “No.”

She chuckled deeply: “I can earn my own money. I just want to see her.”

Even if it cost her a great price, just to see Xu Luwei for a moment, at least to tell her that she hadn’t been abandoned.

Xu Luzhi shook her head seriously, her eyes clear and pure: “My sister doesn’t want to see you.”

Yi Liang was momentarily stunned, her body swaying, nearly unable to stand.

Although she had long known that Xu Luwei definitely didn’t want to see her, hearing someone else say it so decisively still caused indescribable heartache.

The little sparrow fluttering in her heart slowly stopped, then began to sink, sink, sinking into endless darkness.

All was silent, with only Xu Luzhi and Yi Liang confronting each other in the hotel corridor. Neither was wrong; their positions were just fundamentally opposed.

Seeing that Xu Luzhi was unmoved, Yi Liang tucked the card back into her pocket and begged in a low voice: “Just let me see her once, please?”

She had longed for her, traveled thousands of miles, all just to catch a glimpse just one look.

Xu Luzhi’s heart moved slightly. She was familiar with the look on Yi Liang’s face; she herself had once held such a look of deep yearning.

Even trying her hardest to dislike her, she couldn’t help but feel a touch of shared suffering. But just as Xu Luwei stopped her from liking Lin Qingyue, she only cared about her sister’s feelings, not others’.

Just as Xu Luzhi was about to refuse, in a flash. Yi Liang suddenly snatched the takeout bag, turned, and ran toward Xu Luwei’s direction. In the blink of an eye, she was around the corner, leaving behind only the sound of crisp bells.

Xu Luzhi immediately gave chase without hesitation and caught up to her at Xu Luwei’s door, but it was already a step too late. Yi Liang, reckless, simply shouted out, “3502, your takeout!”

In such a flustered moment, how could she have deliberately lowered her voice to disguise her original tone? It was clearly shamelessness.

Xu Luzhi snatched the takeout bag away, lowered her voice, and glared: “Get out of here!”

Yi Liang shook her head, crossed her arms, and deliberately played coy: “I won’t.”

Her pointed chin was raised, her phoenix eyes sharp, her thin lips tightly pressed. Even her defiant posture bore a subtle resemblance to Lin Qingyue.

Thinking of Lin Qingyue, Xu Luzhi couldn’t help but feel resentment. How could her sister be so poor at judging character, accepting such an apprentice, only for her to come and cause trouble for her own sister?

Facing the rogue, Xu Luzhi took a deep breath and calmly stated: “If you don’t leave, I’ll call security.”

“You call. Before you can call, I’ll shout first,” Yi Liang, as expected of someone who had hustled at street stalls, had learned to read the room in the city’s underbelly. She didn’t even flinch.

Although the young woman in front of her, who wasn’t exactly overbearing, was more intimidating than the city management officers, she still held firm, her gaze frequently drifting toward the room door.

Just hold on a little longer, the longer the better. As long as Xu Luwei noticed and opened the door to take a look, that would be enough.

Xu Luzhi was unaccustomed to dealing with such a brazen hooligan and didn’t hesitate to press the emergency bell on the wall. Yi Liang also didn’t hesitate to shout. In that tense standoff, the room door opened silently.

The woman, wearing pajamas with only an outer coat draped over her, stood quietly in the doorway. Her long curly hair hung over her arms. Her expression was calm and indifferent, but when her eyes landed on Yi Liang, they winced slightly in pain.

It was as if she wasn’t looking at a beautiful young girl, but at something extraordinary that instinctively caused her heart to ache.

“What are you two doing?” Xu Luwei spoke up in time, her gaze sweeping over the two people without emotion, her tone indifferent.

Xu Luzhi pouted, looking like she was being bullied, and quickly played the victim: “Sister, this strange person is trying to eavesdrop outside your room!”

Paired with an innocent face, any lie she told was flawless and unlikely to arouse suspicion.

Yi Liang, however, stood there stunned, her eyes fixed on Xu Luwei in a daze. Only the constant jingling of the silver bells on her wrist clearly announced her identity.

After a moment, Yi Liang seemed to awaken as if from a dream and said hoarsely, “Delivery.”

It was strange; just moments ago she was prickly, ready to fight back at any moment, but now, seeing Xu Luwei, she was like a mouse encountering a cat, shedding all her rogue demeanor and answering respectfully.

“Then give it to me,” Xu Luwei said, her face unchanged, extending her hand with a faint smile.

She showed no shame about ordering a little toy in the middle of the night, nor did she feel the need to explain.

Xu Luzhi handed over the bag, her expression complicated, but she couldn’t say anything.

She couldn’t help but wonder why her sister ordered this was it simply due to lonely sleeplessness in the middle of the night, or because she was reminded of someone arrogant and overbearing?

Yi Liang’s heart also ached. Without time to argue with Xu Luzhi, she greedily gazed at Xu Luwei from head to toe, wanting to devour her with her eyes and never forget.

The elegant and dignified woman was so beautiful, like a rose quietly blooming, exuding fragrance, unforgettable even after just one glance.

And her heart was not as rigid and boring as it appeared on the surface, but hid much sweetness that needed to be explored bit by bit.

It had been a long time since they last met, yet she was as beautiful as the first time they met, beautiful enough to make her feel ashamed in her presence, wanting to hide herself so as not to tarnish her eyes, yet wanting clumsily and ridiculously to show herself, hoping for a brief glance from her.

Just being calmly looked at by Xu Luwei once made her feel happy enough to die.

Xu Luwei took the takeout, and the next step was to close the door, treating the accident at her doorstep as if it never happened or was never seen, offering no comment.

However, the fleeting trace of alarm beneath her long eyelashes was instinctively captured by Yi Liang.

Her gaze fell upon the hand Xu Luwei used to take the takeout a long, beautiful hand holding something completely unfitting for her.

Imagining Xu Luwei lying alone in bed in the middle of the night, such a beautiful hand holding the newly arrived little toy, performing the actions they had passionately discussed, Yi Liang felt a burning pain all over her body, with waves of hot blood rushing to her head.

Finally, just as Xu Luwei reached out to close the door, Yi Liang spoke, her gaze fixed directly on the woman before her: “Xu Luwei.”

The girl dared to call her by name directly, her body trembling slightly, yet her expression showed confidence. In front of Xu Luzhi, she asked without concealment: “You bought this… because of me?”

Is it because you miss me?

Do you miss the feeling of my hand wandering over your body?

Xu Luwei was momentarily distracted. The girl before her was like a flamboyant flower, whose brilliance could not be hidden even in the dark night, exactly matching the explicit words she had spoken before.

The deadly part was that she never knew she actually liked this kind of thing liking to be asked until her face flushed red, and then she would pounce and give a personal demonstration.

After a moment, Xu Luwei tilted her head, her expression calm: “What do you think?”
