"No," I bought it myself, hahaha."
Laughter masking unease, because the phone was a gift from Leng Lingxiao to make it more convenient for Tang Xiaowan to contact Cheng Shi.
In this regard, Leng Lingxiao differed from Li Zishen.
He took a hands-off approach with Tang Xiaowan, never monitoring her phone, granting her ample personal space to do as she pleased.
Li Zishen, however, micromanaged every detail, even scrutinizing every message Tang Xiaowan received.
At that moment, the two faced each other, unsure of what to say next.
Li Zihan raised an eyebrow, "You bought it yourself?"
"Yeah, the white phone your brother gave me is too valuable, and it draws too much attention for a student like me. So, I secretly bought a cheaper one and have been alternating between them, hahaha."
"Oh, I see."
"Don't tell your brother; I'm afraid he'll overthink it and lock me up again. He wouldn't even let me leave the bedroom—it was quite pitiful."
