NOVPUBChapter 294: Chapter 294: President, This Kid Says He Is Shiguang
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
The next second, the doorbell of the coffee shop rang again.
Just as Lu Xingchao thought that someone like Huo Xuan—a lively and cute girl—was about to enter, a punk with a studded leather jacket, dyed blonde hair, and a ferocious look swaggered in with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Lu Xingchao: “….”
He slowly settled back down on his stool.
This guy must have walked into the wrong place!
Jiang Li’s fans definitely wouldn’t look like this!
However, the punk’s gaze locked onto him, and he then strode over.
“Hey, you’re the club president, aren’t you?” 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Lu Xingchao: “….”
He really is a Jiang Li fan!
He put on a skin-deep smile and stood up, shaking the man’s hand, “Hello hello, yes, that’s me, I am—”
“I know you!” Xiang Hao slapped his shoulder hard and hehe chuckled, “You’re Lei Ting, also known as the L-God from Blue Star, I watch your live streams every day.”
Once again put on the spot, Lu Xingchao became flustered, and seeing his reaction, Huo Xuan almost burst out laughing.
Xiang Hao, feeling right at home, took a seat and introduced himself to both of them:
“I’m the West District Boss, my name’s Xiang Hao.”
Huo Xuan also immediately said, “I’m Chui’er Tuttu, my real name is Huo Xuan, you guys should know me.”
Lu Xingchao: “….”
Do they really need to introduce themselves in such detail?
Is there not a single socially anxious person among Jiang Li’s fans?
Yet, as if the heavens had heard his silent plea, the doorbell of the coffee shop rang once again.
All three of them turned their heads in unison to look, but they saw no one.
Huo Xuan: “That’s weird, how could there be no one? I clearly heard something.”
Xiang Hao echoed, “I heard it too.”
Lu Xingchao slowly said, “Maybe it’s the wind? Could also be a cat or a dog?”
Xiang Hao volunteered with enthusiasm, “I’ll go check it out.”
Five minutes later, he came back through the door, holding a person in his hand.
Yes, a person.
The individual looked thin and small, with very pale skin, as if a sheet of paper covered their entire body, only about as tall as Xiang Hao’s neck. Dangling in his grasp, their feet off the ground, the person trembled slightly.
Lu Xingchao’s first reaction was—
This person is even more socially anxious than I am!
His second reaction was—
Where did this kid come from?
Unexpectedly, Xiang Hao said, “President, this kid claims they’re Shiguang.”
Huo Xuan: !!!
Lu Xingchao: !!!
There really are minors here!
While he was at a loss, Huo Xuan quickly stepped forward, curiously staring at the kid in Xiang Hao’s hands.
“Hey, kid, you say you’re Shiguang? What’s the proof?”
Jiang Shixu shrank his neck and lit up his phone screen for her to see.
It displayed his Weibo account.
Xiang Hao said, “He showed this to me just now, too.”
Huo Xuan took a closer look for a few moments.
“That’s really him, huh. I thought everyone who liked Jiang Li was about the same age as me. I didn’t expect there to be a little brat. Hey, little brat, do your parents know you sneaked out?”
Jiang Shixu’s face turned even redder as he struggled out of Xiang Hao’s hands.
“I, I’m not a little kid!”
Seeing the other person’s appearance for the first time, Huo Xuan was taken aback.
Such a pretty young boy indeed.
Indeed, Jiang Shixu’s skin was naturally pale, his eyes large and bright, with curled and uplifted eyelashes, and his facial features were so smooth it was uncanny. Coupled with his reticence and extreme shyness, it added a certain inexplicable fragility to his demeanor, resembling an exquisite figurine in a glass cabinet.
After hesitating for a long time, Lu Xingchao finally came over and decided to speak.
“You, have you come of age yet? If not, I think…”
Jiang Shixu remained silent.
The other three were silent as well.
There really was an underage kid here!!!
“But…” Jiang Shixu shrank back, nervously clutching at the hem of his clothes.
For him, walking out of the house to come to this coffee shop had already taken all his courage, let alone interacting with these strangers.
But the thought that they were all people from different places who loved his sister just like him suddenly made him less afraid.
“But…” he swallowed and then said, “but my parents don’t restrict me from being a fan, and besides, I have money too.”
With that, he pulled out a bank card and flashed it in front of the three of them.
The three exchanged glances.
What’s with kids these days?
Carrying a bank card with them everywhere?
Huo Xuan glanced at the young boy in front of her; although he seemed about to die of nervousness, he was dressed in branded clothes from head to toe, and his demeanor was distinguished. He appeared to be some privileged young master raised in wealth.
Moreover, the online Shiguang was modest and polite, and also had a pleasant voice and singing talent, which had left her with a rather good impression.
So she patted Lu Xingchao on the shoulder.
“Forget it, let Shiguang stay. He seems to be a die-hard fan of Lili, and apart from being a bit timid, he doesn’t seem to have any other faults. He’s probably not the kind of school kid who makes unreasonable demands.”
Lu Xingchao pondered for a while before nodding his head, “Alright then.”
At these words, Jiang Shixu’s eyes lit up.
The four of them settled back into their seats.
He didn’t know if it was because there was someone more socially anxious than him, Shiguang, present, or if he had simply gotten used to the atmosphere.
Lu Xingchao no longer felt nervous at this point; he even found it a bit amusing.
He had never imagined that the people he’d had lively online chats with would be these three.
A talented female painter, a little hoodlum with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, a meek student with an introverted appearance, and himself, a gaming content creator.
Four individuals with nothing in common had met here due to shared interests and pursuits.
Fate really was wonderfully inexplicable.
Settling down, Lu Xingchao brought out his computer, starting to outline his plan to the four people.
Midway through, Xiang Hao clicked his tongue.
“I suggest you remove this part; Sister Li won’t like it.”
Huo Xuan also nodded, “The Jiang Li of the past might have liked it, but the Jiang Li of today…”
Lu Xingchao finally detected something odd.
“Wait, you’re not telling me you all know her in real life, are you?”
He knew Huo Xuan did, as the Huo Family and the Jiang Family did business together, and they had met at social gatherings.
But this Xiang Hao…
However, the latter leaned back into the chair with a too-cool-for-school look.
“You talkin’ about Sister Li? She was my desk mate for three years in high school, my sworn boss.”
Lu Xingchao: …what?!
It took him a while to digest the news.
He then looked at Shiguang sitting opposite, who was hanging his head.
It was all good, all good; surely this little kid didn’t know Jiang Li at all. There was nothing for him to feel sad about.
Nevertheless, at this moment, Shiguang slowly lifted his head, his face flushing as he said:
“Um, I haven’t introduced myself yet.”
“I’m Jiang Shixu… Jiang Li’s, her cousin.”
The other three were stunned!!!
