She had a feeling she knew who he meant, but she couldn't bring herself to believe it. 'After all, isn't that nickname a little too flippant, too disrespectful?'

"Alright, my lady, your 'real-life experience' for the day is over! If you want to come to my place, that's fine by me... you might want to consider giving your family a call."
"! Don't you try to sweet-talk me! We've only known each other for a few days! And you're already getting ideas!" Lu Muxue ground her teeth.
"In that case," Chu Bamboo turned to Li Kang in a flash, as if he'd already known what her answer would be and was just going through the motions. "Could I trouble you to escort this young lady home later..."
