Office.
"I don't know blah blah blah, those two blah blah blah, and then blah blah blah, and finally had no choice but to blah blah blah..."
Lu Xing drew some inspiration from those rumors.
He spoke nonstop in the office for five minutes, a half-true, half-false history of a wealthy family's struggles.
He spoke so well that a few teachers in the office stopped writing, their ears perked up, secretly listening in!
Li Juanfang was Hard-CCed for five minutes, her mouth agape, unable to say a single word.
(TL: "Hard-CCed" is gaming slang for being crowd-controlled or stunned.)
"You mean, Xia Yeshuang and Wei Qingyu have been at odds since they were young, competing in everything, so you became the victim in the middle?"
After listening for a long time, this was the only sentence Li Juanfang could summarize.
Lu Xing immediately nodded.
"Yes! Teacher, I want to improve so much, I want to study so much. I really don't understand the grudges of these wealthy families!"
Li Juanfang's head was spinning from Lu Xing's words. She felt there was a hint of truth in the midst of the absurdity.
Given Xia Yeshuang's personality, she might really not be able to stand Wei Qingyu.
And Lu Xing was an orphan with no family support.
If he was caught in the dispute between two young ladies, what could he do?
In an instant, Li Juanfang figured it out. She said comfortingly.
"Alright, alright, I understand. I called you here just to ask about the situation, I have no other intentions."
"The mock exams are coming up soon. You should review well. Qingyu and Yeshuang's families are well-off. Even if they don't study, they have a safety net."
"You're different. You can only rely on yourself. Grit your teeth and persevere for these few months."
Li Juanfang began to preach her old chicken soup for the soul again.
Although her words were not pleasant to hear, they were all facts, so Lu Xing had no dissatisfaction.
Lu Xing put on an inspired look, giving Li Juanfang enough emotional value, and said with full energy.
"Thank you, teacher!"
"I will definitely work hard! I will definitely improve in the next mock exam!"
Li Juanfang felt much better in her heart and let Lu Xing go.
The office door closed, and a few teachers couldn't help but joke.
"It would be a pity if this student of yours doesn't become a crosstalk comedian in the future."
"Hahaha, I was completely mesmerized just now, more exciting than listening to a novel. He speaks with such eloquence."
"We really can't manage this matter. Lu Xing has no money or power. Are the two young ladies using him as cannon fodder in their fight?"
"Sigh, what can we do? Everyone has their own fate."
After that conversation in the office, Li Juanfang no longer pursued the matter.
It made Hu Zhongzhong so anxious he started picking at his mouth till it was sore!
Lu Xing, on the other hand, was not affected at all.
Not only did he escape from Demon Lord Li's clutches unscathed, but he could also calmly continue to tutor Xia Yeshuang.
His mental fortitude was so strong that Li Dachun couldn't help but exclaim, "Awesome!"
...
In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday.
Early in the morning, Lu Xing knocked on the door of Song Junzhu's villa. No one opened the door.
"Eh? Where is she?"
Lu Xing called Song Junzhu again, but still couldn't get through.
"This psycho didn't get wasted on wine last night, did she?"
The thought of this possibility made Lu Xing immediately push the door open and go in.
Although Song Junzhu was a moody psycho, he didn't want his client to really go to the afterlife!
Lu Xing walked into the living room, confused.
He saw the figure of Song Junzhu in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
She stood by the window, looking at the scenery. She was wearing a bathrobe and was on the phone.
"The university has already sent me an offer. Sun Ainan is at that school. I'm going to ask him personally, to see if he's found that damn true love..."
Lu Xing overheard a little of the conversation and was overjoyed!
Sun Ainan was the guy who had run away from his engagement with Song Junzhu, fled abroad, and said he was going to find his true love.
And now, what Song Junzhu meant was...
She was going to take up a position at Sun Ainan's university abroad and then properly wear him down!
She also said on the phone that she would be leaving the country at the end of this summer vacation.
Yes!
Lu Xing retreated to the villa's entrance, so excited he could have performed a set of military calisthenics!
"I can go to Haicheng University!"
He had always been conflicted about whether to apply to Haicheng University.
Because Song Junzhu was a professor at Haicheng University, he was afraid that if they met at school in the future, it would cause more trouble.
But now it's different!
Now Song Junzhu is going abroad! Going abroad!
The kind of going abroad where, besides taking a plane, the only way back is to swim across the Pacific!
"God, I'm willing to call you Grandpa now!"
Lu Xing instantly felt that the air was fresher. Everything he saw was pleasing to the eye.
If his other clients brought him mental damage...
Then Song Junzhu brought him mental damage + physical damage.
So good.
Song Junzhu is leaving, hehe.
The smile on Lu Xing's lips was unstoppable. At this moment, the villa door opened.
Song Junzhu suddenly met Lu Xing's brilliant smile. Her expression instantly relaxed a lot. She thought:
He loves me so much.
Even after being left at the door for so long, he's not angry at all and is even smiling so happily.
Song Junzhu lovingly caressed Lu Xing's face.
"How long have you been waiting? Come in."
Lu Xing now looked at Song Junzhu like a game character whose progress bar was about to be filled. His tolerance for her was extremely high!
"I haven't been waiting long. This is what I should do."
Song Junzhu let out a slight sigh.
A secret crush is truly a humble thing. Thankfully, the one he has a crush on is a good person like me.
...
After dinner
Lu Xing happily hummed a song while washing the dishes.
Song Junzhu was originally sitting on the sofa reading a document, but hearing the singing, she looked at Lu Xing with confusion.
"Are you very happy today?"
Lu Xing paused. His brain spun rapidly, and he quickly said.
"I thought tonight's dinner was delicious. Eating good food makes me very happy."
Song Junzhu understood.
He loves me so much.
Didn't I just serve him a few dishes during dinner tonight? And he's this happy?
After cleaning up the kitchen, the sky was getting dark.
Lu Xing glanced at Song Junzhu.
She was comfortably nestled on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, reading a book.
Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, but the glasses on her nose diluted some of her lazy feeling.
Lu Xing glanced at the cover of the book.
Alright.
A French novel titled Les Misérables.
(ED: "Les Misérables" is a renowned French historical novel by Victor Hugo, published in 1862, and also a popular musical adaptation. The story centers on Jean Valjean, a man struggling for redemption amidst social injustice in 19th-century France. The novel explores themes of love, loss, justice, and revolution)
Can't understand it, can't understand it.
Seeing that it was getting late, it was time to start the routine.
Lu Xing went into the dressing room.
He changed into the maid outfit and collar, picked up the box full of torture instruments, took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, thought for a moment, and then took a wine glass.
After preparing all this, Lu Xing looked in the mirror.
"Just bear with it. She can have her miserable world, but my brave new world is coming!"
Song Junzhu suddenly heard no movement from Lu Xing. She tilted her head back on the sofa, wanting to see where he had gone.
The next second.
Lu Xing came out of the dressing room and slowly walked up to her.
"Professor Song, would you like some wine?"
Song Junzhu looked at his outfit, her heart feeling like it was being pricked by a needle. She scolded angrily.
"What are you doing!"
Lu Xing looked at her with confusion, wondering what kind of new madness this psycho was having.
"Professor Song, isn't this what you requested before?"
Song Junzhu suddenly fell silent.
