Chapter 288: Chapter 288: One Step and Ninety-Nine Steps

"What... what’s wrong?" Qiao Li was a bit flustered by her gaze, and he even sounded a bit nervous when he spoke.

He thought about it, then said, helplessly, "Is it still because I was playing with Xiao Le, and you’re not happy?"

Qiao Li knew that Su Lu wasn’t one to be petty, but when it came to child education, every parent has their own principles they don’t want others to break; he worried that he might have violated the rules Su Lu had set for Xiao Le.

"No," Su Lu shook her head, her lips curling up into a peaceful smile, "Don’t be nervous."

"How can I not be nervous?" Qiao Li raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze carrying a hint of teasing as he joked, "If I didn’t know better, I’d almost think you’ve developed an improper interest in me."

The arc of Su Lu’s smile grew wider. She paused for a few seconds, her fingers tightening imperceptibly, a sharp pain pricking her palm as she continued with an unchanged smile, "How do you know I have no interest in you? Brother Qiao, you are such a good person; don’t belittle yourself."

Qiao Li’s mouth hung open slightly, his expression full of astonishment, as if Su Lu’s words were completely unexpected.

"Who are you?" Qiao Li suddenly asked. He looked around before grabbing his cup from the table. Then, touching the water droplets on the cup with his finger, he flicked them toward Su Lu’s head.

As he flicked the water, he spoke, pretending to be very serious, "You are not Lulu; who are you, really? Possessing our Lulu’s body, get out! Go out right now!"

Su Lu didn’t initially understand what he was doing with the water until he made the motions of sprinkling Holy Water Talisman Water while trying to exorcise evil spirits. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Brother Qiao, what are you..." Su Lu laughed so hard she could hardly catch her breath, "What are you doing? Where did you learn this act? You used to be so serious..."

Qiao Li couldn’t help but laugh as well. The serious expression he had when exorcising spirits vanished in an instant, and he seemed quite amused, "Just recently—some secretaries at the company got hooked on a medical drama and insisted I watch it, saying it’s relevant to my medical background. So, I gave it a chance, and there was this scene in it. I found it interesting and thought about performing it for you sometime, and now, here’s the opportunity."
