[BL] I Wasn't Born Lucky (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 101

Xiao Li was startled by Shen Chenzhi's words for a moment before replying, "No, I have a goal."

The house left behind by his mother was still vacant after her death. He could move in as long as Xiao Yuzheng let him go. In addition, he had too many secrets to rent a friend's house. The hidden expectations couldn't be seen in Shen Chenzhi's eyes and he simply replied, "That's good."

Xiao Li reached out a hand and rested it on the other side's shoulders. "I don't know if I can do it. There are no signs of success yet."

"It will be successful." Shen Chenzhi's moved his eyes away, not looking at the other side's face that was close to him.

"I'll believe your words."

Xiao Li looked at the textbooks on the other side of Shen Chenzhi for a while and felt a bit bored. He was going to take back his hand when he saw that other person's clear side profile and remembered a sentence that Shen Chenzhi had once said. Xiao Li sat up straight. "Did you say that you have seen a ghost."

There was still the thing that happened at Shen Chenzhi's house. Shen Chenzhi looked at him with questioning eyes.

Xiao Li wondered, "What type of ghost do you mean? Is it in reality or...?"

The doll sitting in the desk drawer extended her hair but was afraid of getting close to Shen Chenzhi. The young man glanced at the table and stopped Xiao Li from drawing on the edge of the book.

Shen Chenzhi closed the book. "You'll know soon."

Xiao Li slightly cocked his head, hair falling down and covering his eyes. Shen Chenzhi's heart slightly moved. It was like his heart was caught by that wisp of hair and became itchy.

He held the book. "Do you want to go out for dinner later?"

Xiao Li raised his head and revealed the curiosity in his heart. "Okay."

At night, that Xiao house.

After school, Xiao Li went out to have a meal with Shen Chenzhi and came back late.

He thought Xiao Yuzheng should've entered his room with Xu Mei long ago but didn't expect the hall lights to still be on while Xiao Yuzheng was sitting on the sofa in the hall, looking at his laptop. It was like he was on a video call with someone.

Xiao Yuzheng saw Xiao Li, nodded to the person on the other end of the laptop and closed it, ending the communication. Then he called out to Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, why did you come back so late?"

Xiao Li had already walked up the stairs so he replied while standing in place, "I went out to dinner with a friend."

"Which friend? Why haven't I heard you mention them?"

Xiao Li didn't speak.

Xiao Yuzheng looked at the face of his second son, found traces belonging to his mother on that face and slightly sighed. "Even so, you can't be so late. You should focus on school and then taking over my career. If your mother was still here, she would hope for that as well."

The more he spoke, the more reluctant Xiao Li became. Xiao Li turned directly to Xiao Yuzheng and said, "I want to move back."

At Xiao Yuzheng's fierce gaze, Xiao Li had to add the title, "...Dad."

Xiao Yuzheng didn't show much protest on his face. He knew why Xiao Li had made such a request. "No."

Xiao Li wondered, "Why?"

Xiao Yuzheng's tone wasn't harsh but it sounded like he had long made his decision. "You can't take care of yourself."

"I can." Xiao Li came down the stairs towards his father, who wasn't familiar with himself. "I was always taking care of myself while you were away."
