My Brother-in-Law is a Super Effective All-Purpose Medicine
Tong Lu thought that he had not noticed her following him stealthily all the way to the men’s bathroom entrance. She waited there for a long while. ‘Strange. Why hasn’t he come out yet?’
Tong Lu stuck her head in and looked around. ‘Is it a number two?’
She waited some more. ‘Is it because he forgot to bring toilet paper into the bathroom?
‘Never mind that.’ A woman waiting outside the men’s bathroom was kind of pervy. Tong Lu turned around and suddenly let out a scream. She nearly got a heart attack.
A towering figure stood right in front of her. Her nose bumped into his chest right away. His chest was hard and sturdy. Her nose was in so much pain that her eyebrows scrunched up. Tong Lu raised her head with an accusing look. “Why are you standing behind me?”
Leng Yejin narrowed his inscrutable eyes. “You’re standing in front of the entrance to the men’s bathroom. Are you planning to take a look in there?”
“Of… of course not, I’m about to enter the women’s bathroom.”
Tong Lu was incredibly nervous, but she did not forget to study Leng Yejin’s eyes. She gazed at them closely and took another even closer look. She did not see him wearing any invisible binoculars. All she saw was a pair of strangely enigmatic eyes that resembled black holes. She only took one look at those eyes and felt as if they were sucking her in. She lost herself in them and was not able to look away.
Tong Lu’s heart started pounding.
Her memory from this morning when she woke up sprung into her mind. Her cheeks instantly turned scarlet.
The two of them stood together. He was almost six feet two. She was five feet three. Every slight change in her facial expression was captured by his eyes, while his own expression appeared unchanged. There was no way for her to find out how he really felt.
The air between them and the atmosphere became slightly erotic. The man and the woman’s breaths were so treacherously hot that as if the air could be lit on fire with a match.
Tong Lu swallowed. Her heart was thumping rapidly and vigorously. She suddenly wanted to escape. The man merely extended an arm and easily cut off her escape route. Tong Lu was internally panicking.
Leng Yejin raised an eyebrow. “What are you snooping around for?”
“No… no, it’s just that...” Tong Lu’s voice grew weaker but her curiosity was unfaltering. The look on her face was full of admiration. “Could, could you really see the script of the speech that Secretary Yu was holding in front of the stage?”
The man had a towering figure. When he looked down at her from above, his shadow instantly devoured her whole.
Tong Lu could not bear the oppressive aura he exuded but she refused to give up. She kept asking, “Could you really see it?”
“I couldn’t!”
“Then...”
“Secretary Yu was just messing with you. I had already read it once before the meeting.”
Leng Yejin’s expression was as calm as a lake. There were no signs suggesting that he was lying.
Tong Lu’s face lit up when the realization dawned on her. “I knew it,” she said. ‘It’s impossible for him to see from afar.’
Leng Yejin withdrew his arm and gave an order, “Go make me a cup of coffee.”
“Coffee again?” Tong Lu was fearless.
“What. Can a volunteer make a cup of coffee for an attendee? This is your service attitude?” Leng Yejin narrowed his eyes with a dark look, staring at her small, glum face. His voice was forceful, and she could not help but feel as though her heart was in her mouth.
She immediately put on a cheery expression. “Of course not. I’ll make you one right now.”
As soon as she found the opportunity to run off, she sidestepped his tall and sturdy figure and skedaddled.
Leng Yejin stared at her as she left, feeling amused and dumbfounded at the same time. But as it seemed, she was close to finding out too many of his secrets. Leng Yejin pondered over that with a gloomy look in his eyes. ‘Should I consider killing her off for knowing too much?’
Tong Lu hurried over with a cup of coffee, unaware that there was a glaive hanging above her back that would fall on her any second and chop her head off swiftly. She held up the coffee to him with both hands respectfully, for she was afraid that he would be dissatisfied and tell her to remake it again and again.
“Brother-in-law, here’s your coffee. By the way, can I ask you something?”
