When his arm was loosened and noticing Shu Lulu's change in expression, Chu Ge had a guess in his heart. This girl feared nothing under the heavens, even Mu Lingshan had no answer for her, the reaction from this girl could only mean one person.

When Chu Ge turned around, the facts did indeed confirm his guess. The woman approaching with long rose-red hair was precisely Shu Lulu's mother, Luo Suyun.

"Sister Luo."

Chu Ge felt a bit speechless in his heart. He didn't know what emotions he was feeling at the moment, but since they bumped into each other here, there was nothing he could do but smile and greet her.

"Manager Chu, what a coincidence meeting you here. Is this your girlfriend? The young lady is truly beautiful."

Luo Suyun walked over, scrutinized Ye Li, and asked with a light smile.

Luo Suyun said it, and she believed it too; if Chu Ge and Ye Li weren't a couple, how could they be out taking a walk after dinner like this? Besides, Ye Li was indeed beautiful, so gentle and delicate, even she, as a woman, felt a bit moved.

Ye Li had that kind of aura that made people feel protective upon sight, as if unwilling to let her suffer any grievance.

And Ye Li was really thin, perhaps the thinnest girl Luo Suyun had ever seen.

Chu Ge originally just wanted to fool Shu Lulu, but since Luo Suyun asked, he could only smile and nod. Although Ye Li knew it was fake, she still followed Chu Ge's lead and called her Sister Luo.

No matter if it was fake, as long as Chu Ge said so, it was enough to prove that he considered her as family, just like a saying Chu Ge had once said, many things in this world are best left vague, as long as you are happy.

After greeting Chu Ge, Luo Suyun turned her gaze to Shu Lulu, who looked very embarrassed, "Lulu, your second aunt is sick, no one is at home, I need to go take care of her. I might not come home tonight, do you want to come with me?"

Shu Lulu quickly shook her head, "Mom, I won't go. You know I can't sleep in unfamiliar places. I'll just head home."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Luo Suyun patted her daughter's head, suddenly noticing the traces of tears on her face, which made her pause slightly, "Lulu, were you crying just now? Who bullied you?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes secretly. Luo Suyun finally noticed. It indeed felt a bit awkward inside.

Shu Lulu blushed, "Ah… I…"

Chu Ge also felt a little awkward in his heart.

Seeing her daughter hem and haw, Luo Suyun turned to look at Chu Ge, half-jokingly, half-seriously said: "Manager Chu, could it be that you bullied my Lulu?"

Before Chu Ge could reply, Shu Lulu hurriedly defended him, "No, no, I accidentally fell while playing shuttlecock and hit my head. It has nothing to do with Uncle."

"Already a grown girl, and yet a fall can make you cry, really! Alright, enough said. I have to hurry or else I'll miss the last bus."

Luo Suyun laughed helplessly yet with heartache, pinched Shu Lulu's nose, then turned to Chu Ge, "Manager Chu, I'm in a hurry, so I'll skip the chat. See you tomorrow."

Chu Ge nodded, "See you tomorrow."

Luo Suyun glanced at Ye Li again, gave a friendly smile, and conveniently got into a taxi driving by, leaving the three people's sight.

Watching the taxi Luo Suyun was in drive away, all three, whether Chu Ge, Ye Li, or Shu Lulu, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at each other.

"Uncle, I've done you a favor, haven't I? You flicked my forehead so much, and I didn't rat you out. With my sense of loyalty, shouldn't you thank me?" After the three exchanged looks for a few seconds, Shu Lulu hooked her mouth into a smile, breaking the silence first.

The topic finally turned slightly normal, and Chu Ge wasn't so awkward anymore. He patted Shu Lulu's head just like Luo Suyun did and chuckled, "You, trying to claim credit for yourself, huh? You're not considering my sake; you're just afraid your mom might give you a scolding if you told the truth, right?"

"Uncle! How can you say that?"

Shu Lulu, who was just grinning, suddenly pouted when she heard Chu Ge's words, angrily punched him, but maybe because her movement was a bit too big, it pulled at her forehead wound a bit, causing her to twitch her mouth and gasp.

"Alright, let's just say you did it for me, I thank you. Come on, I'll walk you home."

Shu Lulu immediately shook her head, "Is that how you thank me? I'm not accepting it."

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, "Then how do you want me to thank you?"

"Given my mom isn't home, let me stay at your place and then the three of us can have some fun together!"

Chu Ge was sweating profusely, how did this girl manage to bring the conversation back to this?

Flicking Shu Lulu's forehead, Chu Ge said, "Stop messing with me. If you don't want me to take you home, suit yourself."

With that said, he started walking with Ye Li, "She Auntie, no need to pay attention to this girl, let's go."

Ye Li had just been lost in her thoughts earlier. When Chu Ge first said "Auntie," she didn't quite catch it, but this time, she heard it clearly, feeling utterly speechless.

She's just entered her junior year, and at just over twenty, she's already being called an aunt?

However, since the "uncle" from Shu Lulu's mouth is Chu Ge, she felt helpless but not unhappy, with a blissful blush on her cheeks, she gently said "Mm" and walked off with Chu Ge.

Watching the backs of Chu Ge and Ye Li leaving, Shu Lulu stomped her foot angrily and said loudly, "Hey, hey, hey! Uncle, you're so inconsiderate!"

Chu Ge ignored it, squeezed Ye Li's small hand, signaling her not to mind Shu Lulu, and continued to walk on his own.

"You smelly uncle, wait for me, can't I have you take me?"

Hearing the sound of Shu Lulu finally compromising, Chu Ge stopped, curled his lips, and turned around, seeing Shu Lulu rubbing her forehead with one hand, grimacing as she ran over, then quickly darted over to Chu Ge's side and grabbed his hand again.

"Uncle, hehe... take me home."

Actually, Shu Lulu originally wanted to keep pestering, hoping Chu Ge would agree to let her stay at his house, but since Chu Ge was so firmly against it, she figured if she pushed it further, it would backfire, so she settled for having Chu Ge take her home.

Chu Ge looked at Shu Lulu speechlessly, "Do you really think your aunt doesn't exist? Your aunt has a good temper, sure, but shouldn't you be a bit more reasonable? Let go of my hand."

"Uncle, you were so heavy-handed just now, it really hurts, my forehead is definitely swollen from you flicking it, since you swelled my forehead, you have to take responsibility."

Chu Ge sweated a bit, he'd only ever heard of being responsible for getting a woman pregnant, why did Shu Lulu's words sound so awkward?

Shu Lulu said pitifully, then looked at Ye Li, pitifully saying, "Senior, don't you think it makes sense? You won't be jealous, right?"

Seeing Shu Lulu grab Chu Ge's hand again, to say Ye Li wasn't at all jealous would be impossible, but she softened, pursed her lips, and nodded at Chu Ge, softly saying, "Brother Chu, you... you should take her home."

Hearing Ye Li say this, Shu Lulu was overjoyed and giggled, "Senior Ye Li, you're so nice."

Since Ye Li agreed, Chu Ge had no choice, helplessly shaking his head, "Ye Li, you're spoiling her," then glanced at Shu Lulu, "Call her 'Senior' when there are people around, remember to call her 'Aunt' when there's no one around."

"Mm-mm, got it, Senior Aunt is the best."

Shu Lulu half-heartedly agreed, the nickname making Chu Ge and Ye Li both speechless, but they didn't correct her, and headed towards Shu Lulu's house.

After climbing the stairs and bringing Shu Lulu to her front door, Chu Ge was ready to take Ye Li home.

However, before he could turn around, Shu Lulu blinked at the door, her expression becoming odd, and before he left, she turned and called out to him.

"Uncle, don't leave yet."

Chu Ge looked at Shu Lulu helplessly, "What now? You've reached your front door, aren't you going in?"

Shu Lulu scratched her head, "I... I think I lost my key, or maybe left it at home."

Chu Ge slapped his forehead, "So what now?"

"So... Uncle, it looks like I can only stay at your place tonight."

"Stay at my place? Isn't your mom at your aunt's? Go there too."

"Uncle, I'm really attached to my bed, I can't sleep in a different place, plus... I didn't bring any money."

Chu Ge chuckled; this girl attached to her bed? She's a faker, at his place, even on the sofa, she sleeps soundly as ever. What a lousy excuse to come up with, it's amazing Shu Lulu could even try.

"No money? No problem, Uncle will lend you some."

Chu Ge said with a smile, seeing Shu Lulu's expression become very conflicted. He, of course, wasn't concerned if Shu Lulu was conflicted, and reached into his pocket.

But as Chu Ge reached into his pocket, he realized he had only brought the house key, with nothing else; he didn't have a cent on him.

Chu Ge turned to Ye Li, "Did you bring any money? Lend this girl some so she can take a cab."

Ye Li shook her head.

Looking at the door, Chu Ge felt a bit torn.

He could easily open the door, but his relationship with Luo Suyun wasn't as close as with Chu Shiyao, just breaking in seemed not quite right.

"Uncle, let me stay at your place, please?"

Shu Lulu spoke sweetly, looking at Chu Ge pitifully, looking so pitiful, she grabbed his arm and began shaking it.
