Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 913: Reopening Those Buried Memories

About ten minutes later, the light on the balcony turned on, and a familiar figure appeared on the balcony...

He stood at the edge of the balcony, silhouetted against the light, with both hands resting on the railing, head tilted back looking at the starry sky above, completely unaware that on the lawn not far below him, someone was straining to look up at him.

The wind puffed up Lu Jing’s coat, making his slightly pale complexion look even more haggard under the light.

Chen Chen was beside him, rearranging the setup on the balcony.

Before long, Chen Chen left, leaving only Lu Jing on the balcony, and the lights were turned off.

Only the bright moonlight remained, diffusing a soft glow.

At this moment, Lu Jing seemed to sense something and suddenly looked down towards the floor below, but all he saw was an empty lawn in the dim light, unable to discern anything...

Zhang Lingying could catch his movement of lowering his head, her heart briefly quickened but then she realized it was too dark below for him to see clearly.

Even so, she didn’t linger and quickly turned to leave.

Leaving the hospital, Zhang Lingying felt like someone who had just stolen something and nearly got caught, filled with anxiety.

When her phone rang, it took her nearly three seconds of daze to realize it was her phone ringing.

Seeing that it was Leng Jian calling, she quickly answered.

"Are you asleep?" Leng Jian’s gentle voice came through the phone and instantly calmed Zhang Lingying’s chaotic heartbeat.

Her grip on the phone tightened slightly as she replied calmly, "No, what’s up?"

Leng Jian: "Hmm, would you like to come out for a drink with me? If it’s convenient now, I can pick you up."

Zhang Lingying was taken aback, glanced at the time, and asked, "Now?"

Leng Jian rarely called her this late.

"Yes, now." Leng Jian finished speaking and quietly awaited her response.

Zhang Lingying agreed, not wanting Leng Jian to find out she wasn’t home, instead directly setting a meeting place and heading over herself.

By the time she arrived, Leng Jian had already parked and was waiting at the entrance.

Zhang Lingying approached, curiously glancing at the distinctively decorated establishment in front of them, "Is this really a bar? It looks more like a café."

"It’s a quiet bar; the environment is quite elegant, but the drinks won’t disappoint you."

Seeing her curious expression, Leng Jian couldn’t help but smile indulgently. He lifted his arm, letting her link hers through his, and led her inside.

Zhang Lingying used to be quite the obedient child with Professor Zhang.

Though Professor Zhang had nurtured her life skills so that besides doing experiments, she could take care of herself, he certainly hadn’t taught her how to blend into the vibrant world.

Once inside such a setting, Zhang Lingying was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, appearing wide-eyed and inexperienced, pulling Leng Jian and asking questions nonstop.

Leng Jian patiently explained everything to her, also reminding her not to go out drinking alone.

When they finally settled into their seats, Zhang Lingying got to the point, "Why did you suddenly want to have a drink with me today? Do you have something to tell me? Something important?"

Zhang Lingying’s barrage of three questions instantly turned Leng Jian’s relaxed demeanor serious.

Remembering the information he had just uncovered, he hesitated for a moment before slowly starting to speak, "Do you still remember your childhood? The time before Professor Zhang adopted you?"
