Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1222
Drake was not going to say more. “Jasm, hand the phone to Serenity. I need to talk to her.”
Jasmine mumbled, “I’m your sister, and you’re saying something happened at home. You don’t want to tell me, but you plan to
tell Serenity? Do you think you can hide it from me, b* stard?”
Despite the nagging, Jasmine passed the phone to Serenity and told her best friend, “Drake is keeping me guessing. I don’t
know what’s going on, but he wants to speak to you.”
Taking the phone with a smile, Serenity asked Drake who was on the other end of the line, What’s up, Drake? You can talk to
me. I promise to keep it a secret. I won’t let your sister know.”
Truth be told, Jasmine had stuck her ear against the phone so she could get the message. straight from Drake.
Her brother piqued her curiosity. Now, Jasmine was dying to find out what was going on at home. All she was told was that it was
good, but it was not enough for her to go by.
“Serenity, is my sister eavesdropping next to you? Go outside, and don’t let my sister follow you. Then, I’ll tell you.” Drake knew
his sister too well.
Serenity looked at her best friend.
“Dang. Is the boy spying on us or something?”
Jasmine chewed her brother out.
With a smile, Serenity got up and walked out of the shop. She refused to let Jasmine come along.
Thinking that Serenity would tell her later, Jasmine left Serenity to walk out of the shop.
There was no telling what Drake said to Serenity. Serenity returned several minutes later and gleefully handed the phone back to
Jasmine. She said with a smile, “Don’t bother about the shop, Jasmine. Just get home.”
“I have Milo and Harry here. They can help. Just go home.”
“What is it? Why are you all acting secretive? What did he tell you, Serenity? Just tell me.”

The suspense was killing Jasmine. Yet, her best friend and brother would not let slip.
“You’ll know when you get home. It’ll ruin the surprise if I tell you now. I can tell you that it’s a good thing though. Now go home.”
Serenity happily urged her best friend to go home.
She grabbed Jasmine’s car keys and slipped them into Jasmine’s hand. “Go on.”
Jasmine stared at her best friend and then at her car keys in her hand before lightly
pounding on Serenity’s shoulder. She grumbled, “You won’t even give me something to work on even though we have been
friends for more than a decade. Well, I’ll have to see for myself what’s this big surprise.”
Serenity saw her best friend off and uttered, “Don’t speed on the road. There’s nothing to worry about. It’s a good thing.”
Jasmine mounted her e–bike, started the engine, and replied, “Got it.”
Standing at the shop entrance, Serenity watched her best friend ride away.
Although it was something good, Jasmine could not figure out what it was. Her brother refused to tell her, and even Serenity was
holding back on her. Serenity said something about ruining the surprise.
While many guesses went through her head, Jasmine rolled the throttle and made her way back home.
Fortunately, her home was not too far from the school. She soon reached her town.
Her town was well–developed and bustling like the city.
Before getting to her house, Jasmine noticed a lot of people gathered around her gate. There were many cars parked outside
too. These people held their phones up and took photos.
What was going on?
Why were they crowding at the gate of her house? What were they snapping?
