Chapter 153: Innocent Words
The newcomer was a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, seemingly of similar age to Yi Xin. However, his demeanor was quite different from Yi Xin’s cheerful and lively nature.
The young man had a pale face, and though he was handsome, there was an oddly feminine quality to his features. Even his walking style had a subtle swaying that was reminiscent of a girl’s, which momentarily stunned Lu Chen and made him forget what he had intended to say.
The young man noticed Lu Chen blocking the path and, frowning slightly, stopped and asked, “Who are you?”
The moment he spoke, Lu Chen was struck by the softness of his voice, which was distinctly effeminate and sounded almost like a woman’s. This only added to Lu Chen’s discomfort.
“You… I’m Lu Chen. Are you also here to see Su Qingjun, the Senior Sister?” Lu Chen quickly regained his composure, cleared his throat, and asked.
“Indeed,” the young man, Su Tong, frowned and stared at Lu Chen. “What do you mean by ‘also’? Has someone been here before me?”
“Yes, a young man from the Su family named Su Wen was here earlier,” Lu Chen replied.
“Su Wen?” Su Tong snorted, showing a hint of disdain. He then stepped forward and said, “I am also from the Su family, named Su Tong, the eighth brother of Sister Jun. Step aside, I need to see her.”
Su Tong took a few steps forward but suddenly stopped when he saw that Lu Chen was still blocking the way and had no intention of moving.
