Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 917: A Stranger’s Call

She tightly grasped the bedsheet with both hands, as if trying to hold onto something important.

It wasn’t until she snapped back to reality that she realized she was home.

She was now lying in her own bed.

The time was no longer last night, but the following afternoon.

She had slept for more than ten hours straight.

Zhang Lingying pulled back the blanket and was just about to get out of bed when a splitting headache struck her.

As expected, someone who can’t hold their liquor will run into trouble even with beer, let alone the fact that she started with Long Island Iced Tea last night. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

It took Zhang Lingying quite a while to clear her thoughts and recall everything that happened last night.

She saw Lu Jing and then went off drinking with Leng Jian.

Leng Jian asked many questions about her childhood, mentioning he heard she couldn’t find her brother, and asked if she wanted to consider him as her brother.

He went on to say that if she agreed, she wouldn’t be alone anymore; he’d be her family, always taking care of her, protecting her from anyone who might bully her.

Who is Leng Jian?

He’s the right-hand man of Dr. CC, a renowned computer genius, and an exemplary person.

He’s handsome, has good character, is highly capable, and is wealthy!

With such a brother, you could hardly have too many, so even drunk, she couldn’t refuse such a great offer.

As Leng Jian was bringing her home, it seemed she clung to his arm, insisting they pinky swear for a hundred years not to change...

Recalling the scene, Zhang Lingying covered her face with her hand, feeling embarrassed.

Although it was Leng Jian who wanted to be her brother, her behavior was a bit sycophantic.

Fortunately, Leng Jian wasn’t scared off and was still willing to take her home.

While brushing her teeth, Zhang Lingying worked on mentally preparing herself.

Now that she had a brother, she should probably send him a message to check in after waking up, see if he had a headache from drinking last night, and find out if he’s regretting accepting her as his sister...

At the thought of Leng Jian possibly regretting, Zhang Lingying spat out the foam in her mouth and hurriedly grabbed her phone to message Leng Jian, even before finishing brushing her teeth.

Before she could send the message, Leng Jian called her.

She rinsed her mouth quickly with some water and nervously answered the call.

"Leng Jian, you’re awake, so early."

Leng Jian, on the other end of the line, paused for a moment and then spoke: "It’s already two in the afternoon, not exactly early, and you should call me brother."

Zhang Lingying: "..."

It seems her worries hadn’t come true.

Leng Jian was still gentle with her and was willing to be her brother.

"Brother."

Zhang Lingying obediently called out, her heart unexpectedly fluttering.

She had a brother now.

From now on, she wouldn’t be alone, she truly had a brother.

Leng Jian was much more composed; upon hearing her call him "brother," he paused for just a few seconds before reminding her to drink water and eat.

"I’ve already helped you take the day off today, so you don’t need to come to the lab. Stay home and rest well. If you need anything, just call your brother."

"Alright."

Zhang Lingying nodded vigorously, following Leng Jian’s advice entirely, eating and drinking to her heart’s content, even sending Leng Jian a photo.

Appearing eager for parental praise.

Leng Jian understood well, as soon as he saw the photo she sent, he praised her immediately.

Zhang Lingying contentedly put away her phone, planning to take a nap again to celebrate having a brother.

But just as she lay down, her phone rang again.

It was an unfamiliar number.

She stared at the number for a moment before picking up, realizing that the person calling was Qiu Sen from the Re Group.
