Lu Xing said with great confidence.
"I've been good to you for over two years. You should know, I haven't made any improper moves or glances."
Wei Qingyu nodded lightly.
Lu Xing was satisfied.
See, it's not like she's completely unreasonable!
"My being nice to you was a one-sided action. You don't need to feel any burden. It's completely fine to hate me."
"Even when you ate the breakfast I made, you gave me money, so you don't owe me anything."
Wei Qingyu looked at Lu Xing blankly.
When those other people stopped me to confess, their opening lines weren't like this at all?
Lu Xing struck while the iron was hot.
"Just now you transferred me money, which also settled that debt of gratitude. We don't owe each other anything anymore."
"Only today do I know what I really feel. I've thought about it for a long time, and I suddenly realized that what I feel for you isn't 'like'."
"...What?"
Wei Qingyu's heart trembled violently, her usually rational mind going completely blank.
The color drained from her lips. She opened her mouth, wanting to stop Lu Xing's next words.
Don't, don't say any more, please don't say any more!
Wei Qingyu's heart shook violently, a little person inside her screaming frantically!
But Lu Xing was determined to settle this quickly and spoke rapidly.
"Since it's not 'like,' then I can't delay myself with such a vague and illusory feeling anymore."
"The college entrance exams are coming up. I have to abandon this feeling and throw myself wholeheartedly into the ocean of knowledge."
"My behavior over the past two years may have occasionally disturbed you. I apologize and hope you can forgive me."
"From now on, we'll just be loving and caring classmates, okay?"
After saying it all in one breath, Lu Xing finally let out a sigh of relief!
Hmph, this blockhead has had a smooth life, always the center of attention, and is extremely emotionally stable.
With my smooth little combo of a reason, an apology, and repentance, she definitely won't refuse!
"Loving and caring... classmates?" For the first time, a strange expression appeared on Wei Qingyu's face.
So it turned out it wasn't a confession...
Wei Qingyu suddenly felt a bitter feeling in her heart.
It's good that it wasn't a confession. She didn't want to hear Lu Xing's confession anyway.
She doesn't like Lu Xing, so if he confessed, she would have to reject him.
That wouldn't be polite to a benefactor.
It's good that it wasn't a confession.
Lu Xing stared at Wei Qingyu's face, marveling that he was lucky enough to witness it today.
To actually see Wei Qingyu's perennially expressionless face change through so many expressions at once.
Mm.
It seems it's possible for a domineering CEO's eyes to hold three parts ridicule, three parts disdain, three parts disappointment, and one part love after all.
Since the problem was solved, Lu Xing put on a smiling face and said.
"Classmate Wei, you don't like me either, right?"
Wei Qingyu's dark eyes looked at Lu Xing's brilliant smile. She suddenly felt her head spin, and she bit her lip.
"I don't."
"That's great!" Lu Xing clapped his hands happily. "I don't like you, and you don't like me. We can still be pure and innocent good classmates!"
"In the future, we can help each other out if we run into problems. After all, we've known each other for over two years."
What do you call this?
More friends, more paths!
Wei Qingyu stared at Lu Xing's face and forced a faint smile.
"Okay."
Lu Xing suddenly became vigilant. Why did he feel like he heard a hint of gritted teeth in that "okay"?
But looking at the smile on Wei Qingyu's lips...
Must be my imagination.
With this main problem solved, Lu Xing felt that this trip had been truly fruitful.
Sold the luxury goods.
Became classmates with Wei Qingyu who he could actually talk to.
One stone, two birds! One stone, two birds!
On the way back to school with Wei Qingyu, she suddenly asked.
"Why did you think you liked me in the first place?"
Because of your dad!
Lu Xing was screaming in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. He said with some disappointment.
"I didn't have any brothers or sisters growing up. You were like the beautiful little sister from my dreams. I subconsciously wanted to take care of you."
"I'm sorry. I just really wanted a family member my own age, and I was young, so I misunderstood this feeling."
Sister?
Wei Qingyu closed her eyes to prevent the look of disbelief from flowing out.
She tried to regulate her breathing to sort out her emotions.
Her emotional fluctuations today were greater than ever before.
Wei Qingyu felt that everything was connected now.
"You were nice to me because you thought of me as a sister?"
"You didn't confess because you only thought of me as a sister?"
Lu Xing was pleasantly surprised.
Holy f*ck!
As expected of Wei Qingyu. Her imagination is amazing. She's even patching up my shoddy story!
Awesome!
Lu Xing immediately nodded. "Yes."
Wei Qingyu found it hard to understand.
"Why didn't you explain this to those people? You would have avoided a lot of criticism."
She wasn't a fool. Of course, she knew that many people were cursing Lu Xing as a damn simp.
But she couldn't even be bothered to deal with the rumors about herself, let alone the rumors about Lu Xing.
Lu Xing scratched his head, revealing his white teeth.
"We only need to have a clear conscience. As for the words of others, why should we care?"
With years of experience as a professional simp, Lu Xing's acting skills had long since reached a state of perfection.
Fooling a blockhead like this was as difficult as a max-level boss abusing a new player in the starting village.
Song Junzhu was right about one thing: he was a dirty thing who would do anything to achieve his goals.
Lu Xing's handsome brows furrowed slightly, the corners of his eyes drooping pitifully.
"I'm sorry. I've always wanted a younger brother or sister. I was too lonely, and I caused you trouble."
All the questions got stuck in Wei Qingyu's throat.
She looked at Lu Xing's pitiful expression and suddenly couldn't ask anything anymore.
A wave of guilt washed over her.
Damn her!
Lu Xing just wanted a sister. Why did she have to keep asking, making him feel so wronged!
Wei Qingyu bit her lower lip, deliberated for a moment, and said slowly.
"You can."
Lu Xing: ???
"I can what?"
Wei Qingyu's watery eyes looked at him as she said seriously.
"You can have me as your sister."
Lu Xing was dumbfounded.
Huh?
I don't want a sister!
...
Brilliant!
Truly brilliant!
Arriving at the school gate, Lu Xing suddenly figured it out!
If he and Wei Qingyu became siblings, wouldn't that damn spark of emotion be completely extinguished?!
In the future, if any problems arise, he can use the incest taboo as a shield!
So brilliant!
Lu Xing glanced at Wei Qingyu beside him and said with a smile.
"You go in first."
"Sister."
Wei Qingyu unnaturally averted her gaze, her ears turning slightly red.
She was still a little... unaccustomed to this title.
She had proposed the idea on a whim when she saw how pitiful Lu Xing looked, and her own heart had felt inexplicably sour.
When she calmed down, Wei Qingyu regretted it a little.
But seeing Lu Xing's happy expression, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
Whatever.
As long as he's happy.
...
Xia Yeshuang's flamboyant and unrestrained blonde hair fluttered in the sunlight.
Watching Lu Xing and Wei Qingyu's departing backs, she curled her lips.
"So the rumors were true."
"Wei Qingyu, so you can like someone too?"
"In that case... I have to snatch him away even more!"
Lu Xing, is it?
Watch yourself be mesmerized to death by this big sister!
