After getting familiar with Hu Zhongzhong, Lu Xing realized how shameless this person was.
If Li Dachun was the "Gym bro"...
then this Hu Zhongzhong was the "Private Otaku Bro," one hundred percent pure, always ready to shout “System, activate!” at any moment.
Not far away was Wei Qingyu, who was following the teachers.
The teachers liked her very much.
After introducing a place, they would even look at Wei Qingyu and ask if there was anything she wanted to know.
The building Old Man Wei had donated was indeed of great significance.
But Wei Qingyu didn't look well. She didn't want to be surrounded like this at all, but she couldn't get away.
Lu Xing asked Hu Zhongzhong thoughtfully, "Did Old Man Wei also donate a building to this university?"
Hu Zhongzhong nodded. "That's right. Wei Qingyu's old man is simply inhumanly rich!"
"But he seems to be quite passionate about charity. It's just unexpected that his mind is a bit feudal, to actually resort to fortune telling for his daughter's birthday."
Lu Xing didn't say any more.
Wei Qingyu's family situation was more complicated than he had imagined, perhaps even more difficult than Xia Yeshuang's eight-divorce family.
"Alright, students! Now we will distribute the meal tickets. You can go to the cafeteria to eat on your own, and you can also wander around the school. We will gather at the entrance of the library at four in the afternoon to go back!"
After the teachers announced the dismissal, the students scattered.
Just as Wei Qingyu was about to walk towards Lu Xing, she was surrounded by the teachers.
"Classmate Wei, let's go eat with us."
"That's right, that's right. Classmate Wei's grades are so good, and she's coming to our school. It's really..."
"..."
The sound of several teachers talking together was like a duck farm, making Wei Qingyu's eardrums about to burst.
There was no helping it.
Old Man Wei was a rich fool. If they took good care of his daughter, then maybe Old Man Wei would donate another huge sum of money!
A sense of anxiety welled up in Wei Qingyu's heart as she watched Lu Xing and Hu Zhongzhong walk away.
"Aren't you going to wait for Wei Qingyu?"
Hu Zhongzhong looked back and felt that Wei Qingyu was about to shatter.
Lu Xing didn't look back and walked forward. "Don't worry, those teachers will take good care of her."
Hu Zhongzhong thought, Master Lu is so cold-hearted, not even looking back with his empty eyes, which just shrank Wei Qingyu's chances even further.
“Where are we going, Master Lu?”
Hu Zhongzhong found it strange that Lu Xing was walking toward the school exit instead of the cafeteria.
Lu Xing surveyed the buildings around Haicheng University: there was a hotel being put up for transfer three hundred meters away, and a nearly bankrupt restaurant four hundred meters away.
Hu Zhongzhong curled his lip: “University students don't have money; even if they need a room, they go to budget hotels. This location is simply wrong.”
Lu Xing smiled and said: “There will always be people who want high-end.”
Hu Zhongzhong disagreed: “If people actually stayed there, why would it be going out of business? The human traffic here is already pretty stable, unless there's a sudden boom.”
Lu Xing asked him: “Why can’t there be a sudden boom?”
Hu Zhongzhong choked on his words: “I don't know either! That depends on future urban planning, right? I'm not the mayor, how would I know about future urban planning!”
Lu Xing gave a laugh.
“I know.”
Hu Zhongzhong didn't believe him one bit. He knew all too well how much Lu Xing liked to talk nonsense.
“If you’re the mayor, then I’m the governor. Promotion speedrun, huh?”
“Let’s go, time to head back for food.” Lu Xing didn't dwell on the topic, and after making a mental note of the transfer phone number, he turned and headed back toward the school.
His clients came in a thousand postures and were from various professions.
...
The two of them chose a quiet path to the restaurant.
"Wait."
Halfway through, Hu Zhongzhong suddenly called out to Lu Xing.
Lu Xing paused for a moment and saw a slender figure not far away.
Hu Zhongzhong carefully observed the hair length and color of the person in front of him. His years of watching anime made him recognize her immediately.
"That's definitely Elysia!"
Holy crap! Honkai!
"Huh?" Lu Xing was a little confused.
"Who is Elysia?"
Hmm?
Is there something in this world that Lu Xing doesn't know?!
Hu Zhongzhong instantly found his happiness and tried to pull Lu Xing to explain.
"This is a 2D character. How much do you know about 2D?"
Lu Xing thought for a moment and said.
"I know 2.5 Gojo. It was on the trending topics."
(TL: A meme.)
Hu Zhongzhong: ...
"Don't say this next time. I'm afraid you'll get doxxed."
Lu Xing really didn't know about these things.
He usually only looked at the trending topics to understand the funniest memes of the moment, and then, when chatting with clients, he would appropriately say them to make the clients happy.
"Aiya, anyway, don't worry about it, don't worry about it. Master Lu, come with me to collect a stamp!"
Collect a stamp?
What's collecting a stamp?
(TL: "Collect a stamp" or 集邮 (jíyóu) is slang for taking a photo with a cosplayer.)
Lu Xing suddenly felt that he still needed to improve. How could there still be a knowledge gap!
He immediately pulled out his phone and started searching to see what this "Elysia" looked like.
A moment later.
Lu Xing put his phone away, suddenly realizing: It is the cosplay community's great fortune to have this cosplayer.
She’s too damn similar!
Hu Zhongzhong pulled Lu Xing and ran over, saying happily.
"Hello, teacher! Can I get a stamp?"
The girl in front of them had a head of pink hair, a small and exquisite face, and her sparkling eyes were extremely cute.
Liu Qingqing was taken aback for a moment, then, realizing that the skinny bamboo pole in front of her had no malicious intent, she let out a sigh of relief.
“Hello.”
Wait a minute!
Lu Xing paused. This cosplayer's voice is nice, too?
It was sweet and soft, like a tiny brush gently sweeping over, making one's heart feel pleasantly tingly and numb.
“Of course, we can take a photo together.”
Liu Qingqing flashed a sweet, professional smile.
After the photo.
Hu Zhongzhong was so happy he felt like he could fly.
At this moment,
Liu Qingqing turned her head, saw the composed Lu Xing, and greeted him sweetly:
“Hello, do you want a photo, too?”
Lu Xing stared at the cosplayer's canine tooth and dimple, thinking she was quite adorable, and polite too. So, he took off his coat.
“Here.”
Hmm?
Liu Qingqing froze, looking at the coat extended toward her. She shook her head, smiling energetically:
“Thank you, but it’s okay, I’m not cold.”
Lu Xing said calmly: “You’ve started your period.”
Instantly.
The entire atmosphere froze.
Liu Qingqing was shocked. Like a kitten chasing its own tail, she immediately spun around to check the back of her clothes.
“It only stained a little, it’s not obvious.”
The calm voice rang in her ear, as if it had a soothing effect, causing Liu Qingqing to suddenly calm down as well.
She took Lu Xing's coat and thanked him dutifully: “Thank you.”
“Mhm, here, this is for you too.”
Lu Xing pulled a sanitary pad out of his pocket and handed it over, completely baffling Hu Zhongzhong.
No way, man!
Who told you to carry sanitary pads around!
Lu Xing smiled.
His clients are all women. As a professional simp, isn't it only right to be prepared for every contingency?
Liu Qingqing stared blankly at the sanitary pad being offered, confusion in her eyes.
Carrying a jacket is normal, but carrying this... is a bit much?
Forget it.
He's helping me after all.
Liu Qingqing curved her eyes, smiled sweetly, and said:
“Thank you!”
Lu Xing smiled and said:
“No problem.”
“The jacket is 999 yuan, the sanitary pad is 3 yuan. WeChat or Alipay?”
