"Is there anything we can't hear?"
"Why tell Lin Meimei but not us?"
The hot pot on the table bubbled and frothed, with waves of steam rising.
Chen Jing, seeing Sheng Kuang quietly speaking to Lin Jing, couldn't help but complain a few times.
Beijing didn't have central heating at this time, and the indoor temperature was a bit low at night, but Lin Jing felt a little hot.
She could even feel the temperature around her ears gradually rising.
Compared to her, Sheng Kuang looked much more natural, no different from usual.
She slowly swallowed and subtly pulled her head back, creating a little distance between them. Then, she pretended to be calm and whispered something to him, mimicking his low tone.
Sheng Kuang didn't hear clearly. He turned his head and brought his ear closer to her face: "Hmm?"
His skin was very fair, and the contours of his profile were particularly clear and beautiful.
Lin Jing stared at his profile for two seconds, then leaned a little closer to his ear: "I said, you didn't tell me who the couple avatars were for, how would I know."
Her voice was soft and low, and her warm breath brushed against his earlobe.
Sheng Kuang froze for a second, then turned to look at her: "Understood, you mean I should just say it directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Kuang picked up his phone.
Lin Jing hadn't even reacted to what Sheng Kuang meant by his words when she saw his fingers flying across the screen a few times.
Only after he put down his phone did Lin Jing blink: "What did you just do?"
Sheng Kuang said, "Following your advice, I posted something on my Moments."
"..."
Lin Jing's body stiffened, and the next second she grabbed her phone. From Sudan Novel Network.
Entering Moments, she immediately saw Sheng Kuang's update: Looking for a kid named Lin Jing to use couple avatars with.
The accompanying picture was the pair of couple avatars she had drawn.
Lin Jing was dumbfounded.
She had just said it casually. She probably knew that the couple avatars were for her, but he hadn't told her directly, so she couldn't just assume and say, "Oh, I know, these avatars are for me."
And him, he just went and posted on Moments.
Lin Jing took several seconds to compose herself, then said, "Can you delete it?"
Sheng Kuang glanced at her: "Didn't you tell me to just say it directly?"
"..."
When had she told him to just say it directly?
Lin Jing closed her eyes, thinking that deleting the Moments post was more important, and said patiently, "Delete it, while not many people have seen it yet."
Chen Jing curiously leaned over: "Delete what?"
Lin Jing opened her mouth: "Moments."
"Whose Moments? Sheng Kuang's? What did he post?" Chen Jing said, clicking into Sheng Kuang's Moments: "He didn't post anything."
Lin Jing turned to look at Chen Jing's phone.
"He really didn't. Look." Chen Jing showed the phone to Lin Jing.
The post she had just seen was not on Chen Jing's phone.
Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. She turned her head back to look at Sheng Kuang: "You posted it as... visible to me only."
Sheng Kuang stifled a laugh and said "Mm."
Lin Jing realized she had been teased by Sheng Kuang and glared at him without speaking.
Sheng Kuang tried hard to suppress the smile at the corners of his lips: "Your avatar is there."
"When you want to claim it, remember to like my post."
...
After dinner, it was already almost eleven o'clock at night. They had taken a taxi to get here, so they would need to take one back.
He Wang's ordered car arrived first, and one group left. The remaining Lan Bowen, Chen Jing, Jiang Zui, Sheng Kuang, and Lin Jing stood by the roadside waiting for the next car.
Next to the hot pot restaurant was a KTV. Someone came out from inside and turned to the adjacent supermarket to buy a pack of cigarettes. As he stood by the roadside lighting a cigarette, Lan Bowen suddenly stared at the person, his expression changing.
