"Although Professor Song didn't say the location of the meal, the last place we went to eat had a sea view. This time, the new house even has a swimming pool. This means she likes places with water. So the location of the meal is likely still a high-end restaurant by the sea."
Lu Xing's hand slid across rows and rows of shirts, and he chose a black one.
If he accidentally splashed some oil on his clothes while eating, it would be embarrassing for Professor Song, so he chose a dark-colored inner shirt.
"After eating, according to Professor Song's low-key personality, there won't be any special pick-up by luxury cars and bodyguards. Then we'll have to walk a few steps to the parking spot. As we walk, Professor Song might want to go for a stroll."
Among the pairs of leather shoes, Lu Xing chose a pair made of lightweight material.
Professor Song is wearing such high heels. The possibility of her falling is very small, but it's definitely not zero.
If Professor Song falls, then he will definitely need to pick her up. This kind of shoe is suitable for walking a lot.
"Today's weather forecast says the temperature in Haicheng at night is 18 degrees. If we really go for a walk by the sea to digest, the temperature will drop a few more degrees."
Lu Xing's gaze swept over the neat and expensive suits, and finally chose a black suit jacket made of comfortable but unremarkable material.
When the temperature is too low, he will need to take off his coat for Professor Song.
Professor Song is wearing a red dress today. Pairing it with any other color of coat would be strange, so black is the safest.
In a few minutes, Lu Xing quickly chose his outfit for the day.
He changed his clothes, smiled at the person in the mirror who was as handsome as the moon, his gentle smile as soft as a spring breeze and rain.
It's like being in a relationship.
If you're very introverted, then it's recommended to find a partner who is both a retard and a slob.
(TL: (¬_¬))
That way, you'll become more talkative.
Because you have to constantly explain why you're in a relationship with such a retard.
By the same token.
As a professional simp, Lu Xing needs to take care of the client's face.
If the client takes you out and you're dressed sloppily, and you still say it's your personality, your uniqueness, then you can just pack up and get lost.
When he goes out with a client...
He is the client's face.
After tidying up his attire, Lu Xing lifted the corners of his mouth and pushed open the door of the walk-in closet.
"Oh man!"
Lu Xing was still preparing to dress up quietly and amaze everyone.
But he was startled by Professor Song, who was waiting at the door, just one step out.
Song Junzhu supported Lu Xing, who was startled, and said with a pursed-lip smile, "Why are you so timid?"
Lu Xing was furious.
Sis!
'I'm dressed so handsomely. I was about to show off as soon as I opened the door, and you've completely ruined the mood!'
"Wear this watch."
Song Junzhu casually took off the Cartier from Lu Xing's wrist, placed it to the side, and put the watch in her hand on Lu Xing's wrist.
Damn it!
Lu Xing now really has a psychological shadow.
I give up!
Auntie Wen gives a watch, Little Goldie gives a watch, and Professor Song also gives a watch!
'My hands are cold and my body trembles!'
(TL: 气抖冷 (qì dǒu lěng) is a meme phrase used to sarcastically complain about perceived injustices. It's like saying "Wow, I'm so offended/upset/disappointed by this completely non-serious thing". It's melodramatic for comedic effect)
'When can men stand up!'
'Why are the only gifts I receive watches, belts, and razors, ahhhhh!'
Lu Xing looked down at the watch on his wrist. It was a Vacheron Constantin, but he didn't know which series.
This must be at least six figures, right?
When he saw the few stars engraved on the watch, Lu Xing felt that his estimate might have been conservative.
Damn it.
A custom model?!
Song Junzhu looked at the watch with great satisfaction. "A small gift for you."
She had originally wanted to buy a more expensive one.
But then she thought.
Lu Xing is still just a student. It's not good to wear something too expensive. She could only play with some custom model tricks.
"Thank you, Professor Song. It's beautiful!"
Lu Xing's praise was as fierce as a tiger, making Song Junzhu happy.
But his gaze was always on the Cartier watch that Professor Song had casually placed on the table.
Fuck.
That was a gift from Auntie Wen!
He still has to wear it when he goes to serve Auntie Wen!
Oh, heavens.
He didn't use a fake name or a fake WeChat account precisely to avoid this kind of mix-up risk.
And now look.
Each person gives a watch. Are they their respective anti-counterfeiting marks?
If he wears the wrong watch one day, won't it be Mars hitting the Earth?
The small details of the job suddenly increased. Lu Xing silently shed tears.
Just you wait.
'When June comes, I'll sell them all to Sis Kate!
...
"Professor Song, what are we eating today?"
"Just a simple meal."
With the idea of having a simple meal, Lu Xing happily got on a... yacht with Song Junzhu.
Huh?
A yacht???
Huh?
Simple???
Even after Lu Xing stood on the deck, the wind slapping his face, his eyes were still filled with an undisguisable daze and shock.
No, sis.
I knew you were rich, but I didn't know you were so fucking rich!
Weren't you quite low-key before?
Song Junzhu happily pulled the stunned Lu Xing to a dining seat, thinking to herself that this was indeed the right move.
Zhang Yue had said:
If intellectual attraction and sexual interest aren't enough, then you need to use the most primitive power of money.
Is there anyone in this world who wouldn't be moved after seeing Song Junzhu's assets?
Marrying a great beauty and getting hundreds of millions in assets as well, who could refuse that?
If this kind of advertisement were to be put out, it would be as unbelievable as being sent abroad to have your kidneys harvested.
(TL: Eh?)
But now it was really happening.
...
Night fell. The sky was covered with a black veil. The moon and stars shone equally on the world.
The lights of Haicheng Port were bright, and the tourists were like a river.
As the yacht gradually started to move, the figures of the people on the shore became smaller and smaller, like a cluster of black dots standing on the shore.
A cool breeze blew. Lu Xing propped up his chin, the sound of the waves by his ear.
He seemed to have become a small island, cut off from the people on the shore, quietly alone in the middle of the water.
"Is it beautiful?"
Song Junzhu asked softly.
Lu Xing looked at her with a grin.
"Beautiful, very beautiful."
Song Junzhu avoided his gaze and said in a tone softer than ever before.
"I mean, is the scenery beautiful?"
Lu Xing stared at her face and said innocently.
"That's right. I'm saying the scenery is very beautiful."
Song Junzhu's peach-blossom eyes gave him a sideways glance.
"You didn't even look."
Lu Xing smiled.
"The most beautiful scenery is already in front of me."
Song Junzhu was silent.
Song Junzhu’s face turned crimson.
Staring at Song Junzhu's ears, which were a few shades more brilliant than her dress, Lu Xing sighed in his heart.
To prevent dear Professor Song from blushing so hard she broke her composure, Lu Xing timely changed the subject, moved her plate away, and swapped it with his own.
Song Junzhu looked at his action with some confusion.
"Is it not to your taste? I'll have them make you another portion."
Lu Xing pointed to the dishes on Song Junzhu's plate.
"You're allergic to onions and green peppers. This is not suitable for you. I'll eat it."
Song Junzhu was stunned.
By her ear was the sound of the waves, on the shore was the noise of the crowd. At this moment, her world was completely silent.
Lu Xing had said it so casually and naturally.
It was as if... it were the most natural thing in the world for him to know.
But her mother didn't know.
But her younger brother and sister didn't know.
Song Junzhu averted her gaze and stared at the vast water surface, to prevent tears from flowing out in this inappropriate scene and ruining the atmosphere.
So good.
So good.
Song Junzhu's heart trembled violently. A sour and bitter feeling made her at a loss.
So...
She is still being thought of by someone?
Song Junzhu smiled, her eyes glistening. Zhang Yue was right. She had met true love.
She no longer needed the cheap feelings from that family. She had met a nobler human emotion.
"Lu Xing."
Song Junzhu called out softly.
Lu Xing immediately looked up, as alert as a loyal dog waiting for an order.
Song Junzhu stood up and slowly walked behind him.
Feeling the distance behind him getting closer and closer, Lu Xing's scalp suddenly tingled. He felt that something bad was about to happen.
Not right!
'This is fucking, this is fucking, this atmosphere is not right!'
'He just mentioned Song Junzhu's preference. She can't be this moved, can she?!'
Song Junzhu's fair arms rested on Lu Xing's shoulders. She bent down, leaned close to Lu Xing's ear, and said softly.
"Look up."
Lu Xing looked up.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Brilliant fireworks lit up the entire night sky one after another.
The lights on the yacht dimmed at the right time. He saw a completely different scene from the shore.
Lu Xing stared at the sky in a daze.
He seemed to be lying on the sea surface, with the sky within reach in front of him.
The huge fireworks lit up Lu Xing's side profile. Song Junzhu's heart softened as she looked at him.
Her voice hit Lu Xing's ear. "I want to tell you..."
A fragrant and soft jade was by his side. Lu Xing's heart went cold.
'Please.'
Professor Song, I'm begging you.
Can you not say something I don't want to hear?
I'm begging you.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
