This simp is super strong yet overly cautious.
Lu Xing still felt uneasy. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Chi Yueshan, who was resting.
She was lying on the mat as if escaping reality, her long arms stretched out, revealing a section of her slender, white, and creamy wrist.
Compared to the cool and dignified qingyi...
Lu Xing felt that the person in front of him, who was trying to crawl into a crack in the ground, was more in line with Chi Yueshan's true personality.
A black-bellied green tea, but also a bit of a little girl.
Lu Xing leaned on the sofa, waiting for Chi Yueshan to rest and leave, but at this moment, his mind was thinking.
How can I add another layer of insurance?
Confucius once said...
Petty-bourgeois sentiments, three days in the factory and the medicine will cure the disease!
(TL: Confucius never said this...this is a modern Chinese meme. It's a popular phrase used by people who find the "xiao zi"(small capitalist) lifestyle to be privileged, disconnected, or pretentious.)
It was obviously unrealistic to let Chi Yueshan go to work, but to make Chi Yueshan so busy with work that she was flying...
That was possible.
If a person is busy, where do they have the time for so much lovey-dovey stuff?
Besides.
Chi Yueshan's profession was also quite special. If she became famous, she would be directly blessed by various buffs.
She would directly become an inheritor of traditional culture.
With this title, it would be unreasonable if she wasn't so busy that she had wind-fire wheels on her feet!
And so.
Lu Xing cleared his throat and urged.
"Are you done resting? If so, I'll see you to the car."
Advancing by retreating, learned from Chi Yueshan.
Just writing things down in a mistake notebook doesn't mean you've really learned it. Being able to use it, that's what it means to have really learned it!
As expected.
As soon as she heard she had to leave, Chi Yueshan instantly got anxious. Her autumn-water-like eyes, she pleaded reluctantly.
"Can I rest a little longer? Please, please."
Lu Xing helplessly sat back down. "Alright, then can I watch some videos while I wait for you?"
When Chi Yueshan heard this, she pressed her side face against the mat, but her eyes looked up at Lu Xing from below, and she said with a light laugh.
"The videos aren't as good-looking as me."
"Look at me. I'll sing a tune for you."
"Give you an 'unjust emperor' experience card?"
Lu Xing smiled with relief.
That's right!
This is the flavor!
"What do you want to sing?"
Hmm?!
Chi Yueshan's eyes were full of surprise. She was a little astonished that Lu Xing had actually agreed.
So good!
Chi Yueshan wanted to stand up but was stopped by Lu Xing.
"Just find a comfortable position for your waist. I'm not really asking you to sing and dance."
Alright.
Chi Yueshan stood up, supported herself with the wall, and fumbled to sit on the sofa beside Lu Xing.
She was very beautiful.
Her long hair cascaded down to her waist like splashed ink. Her skin was fair and delicate, her eyes filled with an irresolvable, water-like tenderness.
"Can I record it?"
Lu Xing leaned lazily on the sofa, glanced at Chi Yueshan's cool and dignified face, and felt that this video would definitely go viral!
Chi Yueshan was taken aback for a moment.
She hadn't expected Lu Xing to actually want a souvenir.
But Chi Yueshan still nodded without hesitation. "You can."
E-heh!
That's right!
Lu Xing looked at the rarely shy and greenhorn Chi Yueshan in front of him, and then at himself holding up the phone.
He suddenly had a feeling of being on a filming set.
Ahhhhh!
You bad imagination, you are really bad!
Get it out! Get it out for this emperor!
Lu Xing shook his head and shook the thought out.
Chi Yueshan quietly took a breath and quickly suppressed her nervousness.
"Is there anything you want to hear?"
"Ode to the Pear Blossom."
Lu Xing answered quickly.
Chi Yueshan was suddenly stunned.
This was...
This was the last song she had sung for Lu Xing.
Chi Yueshan's inky black eyes were a little bitter, but she quickly cheered up again.
"Are you ready?"
"OK, action!"
...
"Alright, goodbye. Be careful with your back injury."
Lu Xing saw Chi Yueshan off in a taxi and waved at her with a smile.
Chi Yueshan leaned on the car window, a few strands of stray hair on her forehead, her watery eyes looking at Lu Xing.
While Lu Xing was saying goodbye to her, she suddenly grabbed his hand.
Lu Xing was taken aback for a moment and was about to pull it back immediately.
But Chi Yueshan held onto Lu Xing's hand tightly, and a box of ointment fell into his palm.
Lu Xing paused for a moment.
Chi Yueshan let go of Lu Xing's wrist and curled her lips. "A special medicine for healing wounds."
Lu Xing was confused.
"Where did you get it?"
He had been with Chi Yueshan the whole time. How had she gotten the medicine?
Chi Yueshan was a little discouraged, slumping on the car window.
"When you went to the restroom, I asked Dr. Hao to prescribe it."
So annoying.
At this time, Lu Xing should be showing a surprised expression!
Lu Xing cleared his throat. "Thank you."
I'll make you go viral all over the internet to repay you.
When creating art, emotion and skill are indispensable.
True feelings can move people's hearts.
The Ode to the Pear Blossom Chi Yueshan had sung the last time was just a display of empty skill.
But today.
Although Chi Yueshan was wearing the simplest and even plainest clothes, she sang with an unprecedented emotion.
Even he was very moved after listening to it.
And now.
This video was in Lu Xing's hands.
If it could move a cold-hearted person like him, then moving others would be a piece of cake.
Most importantly.
Chi Yueshan was very beautiful.
This was an indispensable factor.
"Master, you can go now."
Seeing that the time was about right, Lu Xing said to the driver in the car.
"Alright." The driver laughed and turned on the player.
Instantly.
A song slowly began to play.
"This fleeting moment, the most intimate distance,
Along the texture of your skin, past the winding arm,
I'll make a dream for you."
The car started slowly.
Chi Yueshan leaned on the car window and looked back. Lu Xing stood there, smiling and waving.
Like an NPC, like a machine, but definitely not like a person.
"How much further until I can enter your heart? How much longer until I can get close to you?
So close yet so far, the person I can't get close to,
Is also waiting to meet you."
Listening to the music in the car and looking at Lu Xing standing there, Chi Yueshan fell into a deep emo.
Falling in love with a robot without feelings, and not even maintaining or servicing the robot before.
This is simply digging a huge pit for herself.
Sigh.
Chi Yueshan let out a faint sigh. The wind blew into the car, scattering her sigh.
Half a minute later
Lu Xing looked at the taxi that had only moved two meters with a confused face. "No, master, are you out of gas?"
Chi Yueshan also looked at the driver in surprise and suggested, "How about I switch cars?"
The driver stuck his head out with a look of "hating that iron cannot become steel" and said to Lu Xing.
(TL: Unless this is your first Chinese novel there is no way you don't know this saying.)
(SHMOLL: to feel resentful and frustrated because someone isn't meeting expectations and improving)
"Why don't you follow the script!"
Huh?
Lu Xing was dumbfounded.
What script?
Isn't the script over?
His double insurance is all set!
The driver asked with dissatisfaction, "Miss, what's your surname?"
"Chi."
The driver shouted at Lu Xing.
"I'm driving so slowly, you should be chasing the car! And while you're chasing, you should say,
'Will we meet again, Chi-zi? When we meet again, you must be happy! Chi-zi, how can I live without you, Chi-zi!'"
(TL: "Chi-zi" is a pun on her name and a famous line from a meme/movie from 2021 called "Till We Meet Again".)
Lu Xing: ...
Chi Yueshan: ...
Chi Yueshan was so ashamed she wanted to stuff herself under the car seat.
Lu Xing was so ashamed he wanted to run three hundred meters down the street.
Ahhhhh!
What kind of people are these!
Lu Xing was so embarrassed his scalp was tingling.
Finally, the car drove far away. He hadn't even had time to let out a sigh of relief when he heard the notification of a new WeChat message.
Lu Xing was in tears. "I hate message notification sounds!"
So terrifying!
Lu Xing clicked on the chat box. When he saw the contact's name, he was suddenly stunned.
Fuck!
He remembered what he had forgotten!
It's Xia Yeshuang's birthday today!
