Even after years of schooling, Lu Xing's school-phobia was still not cured.
The first morning of school was like falling into hell. His whole brain was buzzing.
On the way to school, he received a message from the senior sister.
'Hmm?'
The clothes had arrived?
Hehe.
Lu Xing smiled. His tailoring skills, honed over many years, could finally be put to use!
'Aiya, it's the first time I'm earning money with my own skills. It's quite embarrassing!'
Lu Xing felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Before, he had made money by being a professional simp. It always felt a little superficial.
But now, earning money with his skills felt quite... quite down-to-earth!
He arrived at the classroom.
As expected, Xia Yeshuang probably hadn't gotten up yet and was late again.
But what was rare was...
Li Dachun bit into a chicken leg and said with confusion.
"Why isn't Wei Qingyu here either? Could it be that the two of them got into a fight outside of school and both ended up in the hospital?"
Lu Xing slapped Li Dachun on the head.
"Can't you hope for something good?"
If these words were heard by others, a fucking rumor would start again!
F*ck!
Now the whole school knows that there's a simp named Lu Xing in the third year who has turned the tables and is singing a triumphant song.
The rumors made up all sorts of things, leaving Lu Xing, this pure and honest boy, completely dumbfounded.
The person involved didn't even know he was playing so wildly!
Lu Xing looked at Li Dachun with suspicion. "Can you eat this kind of big chicken leg when you're working out?"
Li Dachun took another bite of meat without a care.
"You have to eat your fill to have the strength to work out. Besides, it doesn't say how many calories are in this chicken leg. If it's not marked, it's zero calories!"
Lu Xing couldn't hold it in anymore.
When it came to eating, Li Dachun always had his own unique insights. But his physique was also particularly good. With such an honest face, any nonsense he said was particularly credible.
Quite a few people had followed Li Dachun's diet plan in an attempt to lose weight, only to gain ten pounds. They wanted to settle accounts with him, but they couldn't beat him, so they completely gave up.
Li Dachun was picking and choosing. He took out a chicken leg from the plastic bag and handed it to Lu Xing, letting out a silly, honest laugh.
"You eat too!"
"I always feel that although you're quite tall, you're not strong enough. Eat, take big bites of meat!"
"How much is it?" Lu Xing took out some banknotes from his pocket.
Li Dachun's eyes widened. He stopped him. "Why do you need money? This is my treat for you. We're friends, not some kind of commodity exchange!"
Lu Xing was taken aback for a moment, put the money back, and said again.
"Thanks."
He hadn't eaten this kind of greasy food for a long time.
According to the aesthetic standards of his clients...
A man has to have muscles. Otherwise, he looks too weak, too thin, like a frail stick.
But the muscles shouldn't be too exaggerated. Otherwise, he looks too aggressive.
So, that lean muscle is the most suitable and best-looking.
"Lu Xing!"
At noon, Lu Xing was about to go to the piano room as usual. When he passed by Wei Qingyu's seat, he was stopped by Wang Zhenzhen.
Lu Xing stopped and looked back at Wang Zhenzhen. "What's wrong?"
He was wary of this god of extracurricular books.
This person was too good at contaminating the AI database. Last time, Wei Qingyu's silly love confessions had scared him half to death.
Wang Zhenzhen asked Lu Xing, "Why didn't Qingyu come today?"
Lu Xing said with confusion, "I'm not a security guard for the Wei family, so I don't know."
Wang Zhenzhen: ...
How can you say such ridiculous nonsense with such a straight face?
Wang Zhenzhen was dying of anxiety.
She had known Wei Qingyu for so long and had never seen her be so attentive to any man.
Finally, the robot had upgraded and had human feelings, but she had run into a stone-hearted person like Lu Xing.
Fuck.
This f*cked up life!
Wang Zhenzhen asked him, "Do you know what Qingyu's feelings for you are?"
Lu Xing stood up straight, looked at Wang Zhenzhen, and said seriously.
"Have you ever had a best friend you broke up with?"
Wang Zhenzhen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded dazedly. "I have."
Lu Xing asked again.
"Was it because you had a conflict with your best friend, or because you had a conflict with your best friend's boyfriend?"
Wang Zhenzhen was shocked. "How did you know?"
Lu Xing smiled gently.
"You are a very good person, but you always worry about others' feelings."
"Your best friend would complain to you when she was frustrated in her relationship. After listening, you would angrily persuade her to break up and curse the scumbag."
"But then your best friend would turn around and get back together with her boyfriend. You became the clown, so you broke up with your best friend."
"Right?"
Wang Zhenzhen was greatly shocked.
Wang Zhenzhen's defenses were broken.
Wang Zhenzhen was silent.
After a moment, she excitedly gripped Lu Xing's hand.
"Master!"
"How did you figure it out!"
"No wonder Hu Zhongzhong always calls you Master Lu!"
Lu Xing inconspicuously avoided her hand and said with a smile.
"It's very easy to guess."
A person of such temperament like Wang Zhenzhen is simply a congenital sacred body for being backstabbed.
Always standing up for others' feelings, just like now.
Lu Xing said with a smile, "Classmate Zhenzhen, you should think more about your own affairs. Other people's feelings have their own fate."
Wang Zhenzhen dazedly followed Lu Xing's gaze and just happened to see Li Dachun looking over.
The two of them looked at each other and, as if they had been burned, quickly averted their gazes.
Lu Xing laughed inwardly and left the classroom.
He had been thinking before.
Why would a muscle-bound man like Li Dachun, whose mind was only filled with fitness and eating, read those female-oriented tragic romance novels?
Later, he figured it out.
Because the owner of these tragic romance novels was Wang Zhenzhen.
Li Dachun was clumsy and didn't know how to get to know Wang Zhenzhen, so he tried to explore through the books she loved to read.
What a simple, silly Dachun.
Lu Xing sighed with emotion and walked to the door of the piano room.
He knocked on the door and went in.
There was no one inside.
"Hmm? Little Goldie isn't here? That's not right."
If Xia Yeshuang hadn't come, this piano room shouldn't have been open either.
He thought for a moment.
"She's probably in the restroom."
Lu Xing sat on the piano stool and stared at the black and white keys in front of him.
They say that one generation goes into politics, the second into business, and the third into art. It's really not easy to support an art student without some money.
Of course, Lu Xing had no money to learn these arts, but after becoming a professional simp, he had learned many skills for free.
This was already very good.
His slender fingers landed on the piano keys.
After a long hesitation, Lu Xing still didn't press down.
"Why don't you try playing?"
Xia Yeshuang leaned against the doorframe and looked at Lu Xing.
Today she was wearing a washed denim dress, her long golden hair half-tied up, held by a black hairpin.
Although it was a rebellious outfit, at this moment, her eyes were flowing with a delicate smile.
"I can't play the piano."
Lu Xing tried to stand up but was pressed down by Xia Yeshuang.
Lu Xing was taken aback for a moment and tried to change the subject. "How about you show me a thing or two, Sister Xia? Let me see what musical talent is!"
This praise made Xia Yeshuang's lips lift, a little smug.
But she didn't let Lu Xing leave the piano stool and instead sat down beside him.
"Playing the piano is not that difficult. If you've never learned, you can try to get a feel for it first."
Lu Xing nodded obediently. "Okay, okay. I'll learn how you play, Sister Xia."
"What's the use of just looking?"
Xia Yeshuang placed one hand on the piano keys, her eyes nervously fixed on the sheet music.
"Put your hand on top. I'll guide you."
