I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 24 White Dew, I am your father

For some time afterward.

Zhang Lingyun would call Bai Lu from time to time.

I offered a few words of concern and asked if she needed any help.

He knew perfectly well that he was fulfilling a deal with the musician.

However, this frequent concern made Bai Lu feel very awkward.

this day.

Zhang Lingyun sat on the sofa.

Xia Youran was watching TV with him.

He casually dialed Bailu's number:

"Senior, it's been very hot lately. Please be careful when you go out and avoid heatstroke."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Bai Lu finally couldn't help but ask:

"Junior, what do you really think of me?"

"What do you mean, how do I see you?" Zhang Lingyun looked completely bewildered.

"What I mean is..."

Bai Lu asked seriously, "What do you think our relationship is?"

Zhang Lingyun answered casually:

"My friend."

"friend?"

Bai Lu was a little puzzled, "Friends don't need to care about me so often."

Zhang Lingyun smiled and asked her in return:

"So, what kind of relationship do you think we should have?"

Xia Youran glanced sideways at Zhang Lingyun, her face full of displeasure.

She keenly sensed that this scumbag was pulling and tugging at another girl right in front of her.

But Bai Lu's next answer surprised both of them:

"I feel like...you're taking care of me like a daughter."

Xia Youran was stunned for a moment.

She was quite surprised by Bailu's keen insight.

If I were in that situation, my first reaction would be to think that the other person is a simp.

Zhang Lingyun was also slightly surprised.

But he quickly calmed down and explained:

"Senior, you're overthinking it. It's just friendly concern between ordinary friends."

Is that really all there is to it?

"Really. If you don't like it, I won't call you anymore."

Bai Lu quickly spoke up:

"No! I'm actually quite happy that someone cares about me so much."

"I'm glad you like it. I'll call you often from now on."

Bai Lu said with a hint of helplessness:

"You don't need to call so often. If you call every day, my classmates will all think I'm in a relationship."

After that, the two started chatting.

The conversation sometimes turned to magical training, and sometimes to trivial matters in life.

Xia Youran sat to the side, biting her lip, watching Zhang Lingyun laugh heartily.

Even though I knew he was just doing it for the transaction, I still couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

She quietly raised her foot and kicked Zhang Lingyun in the back.

While on the phone, Zhang Lingyun grabbed her ankle and gently pulled her legs apart.

A tingling, numb sensation spread from the center of my legs.

"snore--"

Xia Youran almost cried out.

Zhang Lingyun immediately reached out and covered her mouth.

Xia Youran struggled in his arms.

But after several unsuccessful attempts to break free, he could only gasp for breath.

Bai Lu on the other end of the phone suddenly paused, and asked in confusion:

"Why do I hear a girl breathing?"

Zhang Lingyun calmly replied perfunctorily:

"No, it's the sound of the TV."

"All right."

Bai Lu didn't delve into it further, but instead said:

"I have something to tell you. My advisor is giving a public lecture tomorrow, and I'd like you to come and listen."

Zhang Lingyun was somewhat surprised:

"I'll go to the university?"

Bai Lu said earnestly:

"That's right. This class will definitely be helpful to you; you must come and listen."

"Okay, I understand."

After the call ends,

Zhang Lingyun finally released Xia Youran's mouth.

Xia Youran punched him hard and asked:

"Did you cover my mouth again with the hand that was grabbing my foot?"

Zhang Lingyun sniffed it and comforted him:

"Don't worry! It doesn't smell."

"You're annoying!"

Meanwhile, Bai Lu, on the other end of the phone, frowned slightly after hanging up.

Actually, she heard it very clearly, but she just didn't say anything.

She rubbed her burning cheeks, feeling her heart pounding.

"What's the relationship between those two? How can they be calling me while doing *that*?!"

***

the next day--

Zhang Lingyun asked for leave from school and came to Green Island University alone.

Xia Youran didn't come along; she was still attending class as usual.

Recently, her magic power has improved significantly, and she has completely given up the idea of ​​suicide.

Zhang Lingyun finally felt relieved, no longer needing to keep her by his side all the time.

Zhang Lingyun called Bai Lu from outside the school gate.

Not long after, Bailu ran out excitedly to greet him.

With some time to spare before the open class began, Bai Lu suggested taking him on a tour of the campus first.

Throughout the journey, she enthusiastically recommended Green Island University.

Hopefully, even if Zhang Lingyun doesn't get a guaranteed admission spot, he can still get in through his own efforts.

In fact, Zhang Lingyun had the same plan.

He didn't have any special feelings for Green Island University.

One reason he wanted to get in was because of his contract with the musician; he had to stay by Bailu's side and take care of her.

The other half is to keep an eye on Xia Youran's situation, as it would be very inconvenient for her to study in another place.

Bai Lu seems to be quite popular at school.

Wherever she goes, classmates greet her.

Many boys looked at Zhang Lingyun with obvious competitive intent.

Zhang Lingyun understood this.

It would be strange if such a sexy, dark-skinned beauty didn't have any suitors!

The two were a little tired from shopping, so Bailu treated him to milk tea.

This is a small shop run by a witch, shaped like Cinderella's pumpkin carriage, and the milk tea in the shop comes with strange descriptions.

Bailu recommends "Jianshouqing Milk Tea," which features tiny figures dancing above your head.

Zhang Lingyun didn't dare to try it and only ordered a glass of regular lemonade.

But he still fell for it, spitting out a string of soap bubbles, which made Bai Lu laugh so hard she fell face-first onto the table.

A flippant voice suddenly came from the next table:

"Hey, isn't this the beautiful Bai? Bringing your new boyfriend for bubble tea again?"

The speaker was a male student with flamboyant blond hair and a sarcastic expression in his eyes.

Bai Lu frowned, pretending not to hear, not wanting to get involved with him.

Seeing that Bailu was ignoring him, Lin Hao became even more enthusiastic:

"What? Are you ignoring me? Or do you not want to reveal your true colors to your new boyfriend?"

Zhang Lingyun glanced up and asked:

"Who is this? So annoying!"

Bai Lu then leaned closer and explained in a low voice:

"His name is Lin Hao. His advisor and Professor Lan are sworn enemies. The two have always been competing in the college, and he often causes me trouble."

Zhang Lingyun took a sip of lemon juice and said:

"I'm afraid it's more than that!"

Bai Lu felt embarrassed and could only honestly confess:

"He used to pursue me, but I hate that kind of person."

"Oh! There's also an element of love turning into hate!"

Seeing the two whispering, Lin Hao became even more provocative:

"I've heard that you've been changing boyfriends quite frequently lately, Bai Lu. Last time it was an upperclassman, and this time it's a high school student. You're too casual about relationships!"

As soon as she said this, all eyes turned to Bai Lu from the surrounding tables.

Zhang Lingyun's expression darkened, and he asked:

"Does he harass you like this often?"
