Ch. 751..760

Chapter 751: 751 Fake Affection

 

 

With the support of so many friends, Liang Lu instantly had the courage to fight against them. These days, she had suffered from being looked down upon by others in school. Zhang Xue and the others kept calling her the daughter of a prostitute and even asked her to get out of school. The more Liang Lu heard, the sadder she felt.

She was like a bamboo raft floating in the sea. She was surrounded by the vast sea. She could not see land and did not know where she would stop. But now, a huge ship suddenly appeared behind her and protected her.

“Thank you.” Liang Lu was very touched. “I won’t run away anymore. I’ll solve the problem that 1 should face.”

Zhang Xue begged for mercy. “Liang Lu, we’ve known each other for so many years. Moreover, we’ve been friends since we were young. You don’t want to see me get arrested by the police, do you?”

“You knew that we’ve been friends for many years?” Liang Lu said coldly.

“Then how have you been treating me these past few days? Ever since 1 met you, you’ve been talking about my mother and spreading rumors about me on the internet. Not only that, you even brought others to beat me. Do you think it’s possible for me to let you go now?”

Zhang Xue didn’t want to be arrested by the police. She said to Liang Lu with tears and snot, “Liang Lu, 1 really didn’t do it on purpose. 1 was angry at that time. I’ve thought it through now. 1 shouldn’t have spread rumors about you, and I shouldn’t have hit you. Can I apologize to you? Can we still be good friends?”

Liang Lu did not want to let Zhang Xue off just like that. Even if Zhang Xue was once a victim, she was not anymore. Liang Lu would never forgive her for insulting her deceased mother like that. “We can’t be friends anymore. We won’t even be friends anymore. You and 1 will be strangers from now on.”

Zhang Xue did not give up. She pleaded. “Liang Lu, I beg you, don’t call the police! Do you really want me to kneel down and beg you?”

Before Liang Lu could speak, Tan Rou walked over and said, “If you kneel down and apologize to Lulu, she might consider forgiving you.”

“What are you doing?” Zhang Xue was stunned. She then said angrily, “I’m talking to Liang Lu. Why are you interrupting?”

“Don’t trust her so easily,” Tan Rou said softly as she patted Liang Lu’s shoulder.

“You’re right.” Liang Lu nodded and said to Zhang Xue, “Just like what she said, if you kneel down and apologize to my dead mother, I can choose to forgive you.”

Zhang Xue was furious when she heard that. “Why should 1 apologize to that prostitute? You want me to kneel down? Dream on!”

“As expected, you’re pretending. Since you’re not going to apologize, then go to the police station and apologize to the police.” Li Li pursed her lips.

“There are so many of you bullying me. Aren’t you shameless?” Zhang Xue said angrily.

“You have the nerve to ask us if we have any shame?” Li Li looked at Zhang Xue up and down and said angrily, “Why didn’t you say that you were shameless when so many of you ganged up on Lulu?”

“Hurry up and call the police,” Jiang Min said. “People like this should be handed over to the police. They should be properly educated.”

Zhang Xue did not want to be arrested at the police station. If they called the police, the police would definitely call her parents. If her mother found out that she was bullying her classmates at school, her mother would definitely beat her to death.

“Liang Lu, let’s talk things out. Don’t call the police!” The counselor began to persuade Liang Lu because if Liang Lu called the police, this matter would definitely not be settled easily. Moreover, it would not be good for their school if the matter blew up.

Their school was a film school, and most of the students were art students. Many of them would enter the entertainment industry in the future. For example, Liang Lu’s major in broadcasting would mean that she would enter the major satellite channels in the future to do radio programs or become a voice actor.

Tan Rou noticed the change in the counselor’s attitude.

“What do you think we should do?”

The counselor smiled and said, “How about this? I’ll get Student Zhang Xue to write a letter of apology to Student Liang Lu and give her some compensation. Then, I’ll bring Liang Lu to the hospital to be treated. Our school will pay for the medical expenses. How about Student Liang Lu just recuperating in school quietly?”

Tan Rou smiled. “Teacher, to put it bluntly, I’ll beat you up right now and scold your entire family. Then, I’ll compensate you with some money.. What do you think?”

 

Chapter 752: 752 Can’t Offend

 

 

The female counselor’s face instantly darkened. She said angrily, “What right do you have to scold my entire family?”

“Then why did Zhang Xue scold Liang Lu?” Tan Rou asked.

The counselor could tell that this pretty girl was not easy to deal with, so she turned around and talked to Liang Lu. “Liang Lu, it’s not that the counselor doesn’t want to help you, but this is really unnecessary. If this matter blows up, it won’t be good for you or the school.”

Liang Lu said, “Counselor, in your opinion, it’s not a big deal that my mother was slandered and I was beaten. But in my heart, this has already caused me a lot of harm. I can’t let Zhang Xue off so easily.”

The counselor was also a little angry. She said harshly, “You’re all still students. Do you have to go to the police station? What good would that do you? Moreover, if you call the police, the school will definitely be alerted. If you offend the big shots above, 1 won’t be able to protect you.”

Liang Lu found it ridiculous. “Counselor, do you mean that 1 can’t even protect my legal rights?”

“That’s not what I meant,” the counselor continued. “As a counselor, I don’t want to see you guys get into trouble.”

“So what kind of trouble will we cause?” Tan Rou asked.

Since she asked, the counselor answered truthfully, “You should know that we are a film academy, right? Every year, the students who graduate from our school will cooperate with the other companies outside. The outstanding graduates of our school have always cooperated with the Tao family. You should know better than me what the Tao family’s status is, right?”

Tan Rou chuckled. “Can the Tao family be above the law?”

The counselor’s face was stern as he lectured, “The Tao family will definitely not let this matter blow up. You can’t afford to offend the Tao family, so in the end, it’s you children who will suffer. I’ve already reminded you. If you insist on calling the police, don’t blame the school for being merciless.”

Li Li looked at Tan Rou and asked in confusion, “How can someone with such a bad character work with the Tao family’s entertainment company?” Instead of working with them, the Tao family might as well work with me.”

Tan Rou knew that Li Li was joking, but what she said made sense. A student from such a school was not worthy of working with the Tao family’s company.

The counselor seemed to have heard a joke. She said to Li Li, “Young lady, it’s not that I didn’t remind you. You have to know your place. If you want to work with the Tao family, you should do it in your next life.”

“I’ll return the same sentence to you. If you want to work with the Tao family, you’d better do it in your next life,” Tan Rou said with her arms crossed.

She took out her cell phone and called Tao Zhi. “I’ll call Big Brother now and ask him to end his collaboration with your film academy. In the future, the outstanding graduates from your school don’t have to be sent to the Tao family’s company.”

“Who are you?” the counselor asked with a smile. “Do you think they would stop just because you told them to?”

The group of bodyguards who were in the background suddenly stood up. “This is the eldest daughter of the Tao family. Whatever she says goes.”

The counselor was shocked. To be able to bring so many people here, these teenagers definitely had extraordinary identities. She carefully examined Tan Ron’s face and found that she indeed looked very similar to President Tao.

Could it be that this girl was really the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the past?

Thinking of this, the counselor’s face turned pale. If she offended Miss Tao, her career would be over.

“Miss Tao, this is all a misunderstanding. What 1 said just now was just out of anger. Please don’t take it to heart!” The counselor smiled and came over to apologize. “How about this? We’ll do whatever you say as long as we don’t call the police. I don’t think you want your company to have negative comments, right?”

Tan Rou nodded slightly. “You’re right. Our entertainment company can’t have negative comments, so cutting off cooperation with people like you who have negative comments is the best way.”

The counselor’s face turned pale. She said incoherently, “That’s not what I meant… We’re worked well together in the past. Why should we cut off our cooperation? Moreover, many of our school’s graduates have already signed with your family’s company. If you want them to leave, you have to pay a penalty for breaching the contract..”

 

Chapter 753: 753 Privileges

 

 

“Do you think we won’t be able to pay the penalty?” Tan Rou smiled and said, “However, we won’t pay the penalty for breaching the contract. These people have signed contracts for a short period of time. As long as the contract ends, the outstanding people can stay. However, those who came in to laze around should get lost as soon as possible. As for the students from your school in the future, we won’t sign any of them.”

“Lulu, this school is so lousy. Do you still want to stay here?” She asked Liang Lu.

Liang Lu smiled bitterly. “I don’t want to stay here either, but with my grades, I can only go to this school. If 1 give up now, I’ll have to return and repeat my studies. Although 1 don’t object to it, I feel a little bad about having to take money from my adoptive parents again.”

“There’s no need to repeat it. As the eldest daughter of the Tao family, can’t 1 exercise my privileges once? If it weren’t for today’s incident, I wouldn’t have known that the Tao family was so powerful that they dared to go against the law,” Tan Rou said meaningfully.

The counselor continued to smile apologetically. “Miss Tao, Liang Lu, don’t be anxious. Although our school isn’t good, it’s still one of the top film academies. It might not be as good as ours if you want to change schools.”

“Is your school better than Capital City Film University?” Tan Rou asked.

The counselor’s face instantly turned pale. “You’re going to send her to Capital City Film University.”

“Do you think I don’t have the ability?” Tan Rou asked.

The counselor naturally believed that the eldest daughter of the Tao family had the ability to do so. It was just that she felt a little unbalanced. She had spent so much effort and could only be a counselor at this lousy film academy. Still, Liang Lu had easily entered the Capital Film University, the best film academy in the country.

Liang Lu didn’t dare to go. She said to Tan Rou, “Rourou that school is too good. 1 don’t deserve it. Just find me a second-tier school. I don’t mind if there’s a place to study.”

Tan Rou reassured her. “Liang Lu, I believe that if it weren’t for what happened back then, you would definitely have done better. Since you like the film academy, we will go to the best one. As your good friend, 1 will definitely do my best to help you. Moreover, Capital City Film University is very close to the Capital University. The students from the two schools often visit each other. It will be much easier for us to meet then.”

Liang Lu was a little moved by her. At this moment, Li Li and Tian Tian come over and advise Liang Lu.

“Lulu, when you’re not by our side, we can’t fight back when others bully us,” Li Li said.

Tian Tian was very straightforward. “Lulu, you should change to another school. Change your environment and change your mood.”

Lu Qing, who had been silent all this while, came up behind Liang Lu and whispered, “Liang Lu, we all hope that you can return to us. Every time we eat, you’re the only one not around. Everyone feels bad.”

Liang Lu’s tears fell immediately. “Alright, I’ll listen to your arrangements. I’ll go wherever you want me to go.”

Tan Rou smiled. “Now, we have to treat your wounds first. Then, we’ll call the police. We’ll then settle your transfer over to your new school.”

“I’ll follow your arrangements,” Liang Lu nodded.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the counselor hurriedly stopped them. “Miss Tao, we’ll discuss this matter properly. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely give Liang Lu a satisfactory explanation.”

“There’s no need for that. Anyway, our Tao family will never cooperate with your school again. There’s no need for us to have any further discussion. We can handle it however we want.” Tan Rou said domineeringly.

The bodyguards surrounded them and separated Tan Rou and the rest of the students, causing trouble. They escorted them back to the car and quickly drove the luxury car away.

All the students present had heard what they had just said. Many of them were from the performing arts department. They surrounded them angrily when they heard that their school would no longer cooperate with the Tao family.

“It’s all your fault. If you didn’t offend the eldest daughter of the Tao family, why wouldn’t the Tao family cooperate with us?” The students swarmed up like bees and punched and kicked Zhang Xue and the others. Zhang Xue and the others were already injured and could not withstand these punches and kicks.

Zhang Xue’s counselor was also slapped a few times in the chaos, but more difficult things were waiting for her in the future..

 

Chapter 754: 754 Applying Medication

 

 

Tan Ron did not bring Liang Lu to the hospital. Instead, she brought her to her home and called the family doctor over. Before the family doctor arrived, they would treat Liang Lu’s wounds.

Aunt Zhou took the first aid kit and was about to treat Liang Lu’s wound. However, Tan Rou said to her, “Aunt Zhou, Lulu will be staying here tonight. Please tidy up a room for her. We’ll take care of this.”

“Yes, Miss.” Aunt Zhou placed the medicine on the coffee table first.

Tan Rou wanted to apply the medicine for Liang Lu, but she had already gotten the cotton swab. She put the cotton swab down again and instructed Lu Qing, “Young Master Lu, come and apply the medicine for Liang Lu. I’m going out to talk to my brother about transferring schools for Liang Lu.”

Li Li and the rest understood Tan Ron’s meaning and found an excuse to leave the living room. Only Liang Lu and Lu Qing were left in the living room.

Young Master Lu sat on the sofa. He picked up the cotton swab on the table and dipped it in some medicine. Then, Liang Lu wiped the wound. As she wiped, she asked, “Does it hurt?”

Liang Lu hissed twice and replied, “It hurts a little.”

Lu Qing didn’t even look up and said,”Since you know it hurts, why did you let them hit you? Don’t you know how to run?”

“There are too many of them. I couldn’t run even if I wanted to.” Liang Lu said, feeling wronged.

“Even if I ran into the toilet, some girl would rush in and grab me. The injury on my leg was caused by them using a mop stick in the toilet.”

Lu Qing’s heart ached. “I’m sorry. 1 shouldn’t have said that just now.”

Liang Lu shook her head gently. “I’m too weak.”

Lu Qing smiled. “Will Big Sister admit that she’s too weak?”

Liang Lu glared at him. “1 stopped being a big sister a long time ago.”

“Sometimes, I really want you to turn back into that fearless Big Sister. At least you won’t be bullied by others.” Lu Qing said with heartache.

Liang Lu said, “Do you think it’s easy to be a big sister? I remember the first time 1 went out to beat someone up, 1 was beaten half to death by the opposite party. The corner of my eye was swollen and it took me a long time to recover but I won. After that, those people all took a detour when they saw me.”

Lu Qing quietly listened to Liang Lu talk about her glorious deeds in the past and commented from time to time. They rarely had time to be alone like this, and they rarely sat down and talked calmly. If it was a year ago, Lu Qing would not have dared to imagine that he would be sitting in the living room applying medicine for Liang Lu. Previously, when he saw Liang Lu, he would always walk away from her.

After the wounds on her face and arms were treated, Lu Qing shifted his gaze to Liang Lu’s leg. Liang Lu was limping, and she had just said that her leg had been hit by a mop stick, so her leg must have been badly injured.

“Roll up your pants and let me see.” Lu Qing said without thinking.

Liang Lu suddenly became shy. She pulled down her trousers again. “I’ll treat the wound here myself.”

“I’m not asking you to take off your pants. I’m just asking you to roll them up.” Lu Qing tried to goad her. “Are you afraid that I’ll take advantage of you?” He rolled up his cropped pants to his thighs.

“Then I’ll show you first.”

Liang Lu’s face turned red. She subconsciously pulled down Lu Qing’s pants. “What are you doing?”

Lu Qing smiled. Liang Lu looked quite cute when she blushed.

Liang Lu rolled up her pants. Her pants were loose, so it was easy to roll them up. Lu Qing saw a very deep mark on her right calf. It was filled with blood. It looked like it had been a few days.

“Does it hurt?” Lu Qing didn’t dare to touch it.

Liang Lu pretended to be relaxed. “It doesn’t hurt that much. I can still endure it.”

Lu Qing touched it with his hand, and Liang Lu’s face twisted in pain.

“Hisss….” Liang Lu gasped. “Don’t touch it. I’m going to faint from the pain.”

Lu Qing knew it would hurt. If it didn’t hurt, Liang Lu wouldn’t be limping.

“Why isn’t the family doctor here yet?” He was a little anxious.

“It’s already so late. The doctors must be asleep,” Liang Lu said.

Lu Qing knew that most family doctors were on call, but he did not tell Liang Lu. “Since the doctor is not coming, let me treat your wound. I’ve helped my grandfather with bruises before. I’m very professional with it..”

 

Chapter 755: 755 Let’s Try It Out

 

 

Liang Lu was still a little hesitant. She didn’t like others touching her body. Forget about her arm, but they actually wanted to touch her leg. This made her think of some erotic videos.

“I don’t think so.” Liang Lu retracted her leg.

Lu Qing grabbed her leg and said firmly, “Don’t move. I’m going to apply the medicine for you now.”

Lu Qing took out a bottle of medicine from the medical kit and poured some on his hand. After rubbing it open, he began to treat Liang Lu’s bruises.

Liang Lu was in so much pain that her facial features were twisted, but she was very tough and did not make a sound.

Although Lu Qing’s heart ached for Liang Lu, he also knew that this bruise had to be treated as soon as possible, so he was more heavy-handed.

After she was done, Liang Lu was in so much pain that she was sweating and trembling.

Lu Qing wiped his hands with the wet tissue next to him. Then, he sat back down beside Liang Lu and said, “Don’t hold it in if it hurts. If you want to cry, cry.”

Liang Lu suddenly felt wronged. She hugged Lu Qing’s neck and cried, “I’m really scared. If I disappear from that school, will no one find out that I’m gone?”

Lu Qing said, “That won’t happen. Don’t 1 text you every day? If you don’t reply to me tomorrow, I’ll go to your school to look for you.”

Liang Lu tugged Lu Qing’s collar a few times. “Why are you looking for me? Are you going to be beaten up by them with me?”

Lu Qing patted Liang Lu’s back to comfort her. “Although 1 don’t fight with others, I’ve practiced. My grandfather was a soldier. I started to receive his training when 1 was very young. Ordinary people can’t beat me.”

“Are you that powerful?” Liang Lu asked.

“It’s more than enough to protect you,” Lu Qing whispered.

Liang Lu’s heartbeat slowed down by half a beat. She suddenly left Lu Qing.” You… You… What are you talking about?”

Handsome Lu began to exude his charm. “You liked me in the past, maybe it was just following the trend. I didn’t like you in the past because 1 felt that you only knew how to cause trouble and didn’t meet the standards for our family as a daughter-in-law. However, after I discovered your true personality, my opinion of you changed. You’re a very outstanding person and very loyal.” Liang Lu heard the words ‘criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law’? She blushed and said, “Why are you telling me your criteria for choosing a wife?” “I’ll tell you,” Lu Qing said. “Maybe you’ll fit the bill.”

“Who wants to be your wife? Your family has so many rules. I don’t want it.” Liang Lu turned her face away and said.

“There’s only me and my grandfather at home.” Lu Qing smiled bitterly. “There aren’t that many rules.”

Liang Lu paused.” I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to remind you of something sad.” “You don’t have parents, and 1 don’t have parents either. The two little orphans can make a pair.” Lu Qing stretched out his hand. “Liang Lu, do you want to try being with me?”

Liang Lu would be a fool if she didn’t understand. “But don’t you like girls like Rourou? She’s good-looking, smart, and capable. She’s a good match for you. I’m not worthy of you.”

Lu Qing said, “I think the same as you. Tan Rou is an idol, but she can only be an idol.”

“Then do you really like me?” Liang Lu asked again.

Lu Qing answered honestly, “I don’t know if I really like you because I’ve never been in a relationship before. I don’t know what it feels like to love someone. If you’re willing, I want to try courting you. If you’re not willing, just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”

Liang Lu sat there and thought for a while. Lu Qing was the first person she had liked. At that time, she had liked Lu Qing on a whim. After thinking about it, she felt that her actions were stupid enough, so she buried this feeling in her heart.

Now that Lu Qing had given her a choice, she also wanted to give it a try. If they broke up in the future because they were not suitable, then they would not have any regrets. At that time, she would take it as putting an end to her youth.

“I would like to try. I don’t want to remember this many years later. I don’t want to regret not trying to be with you,” Liang Lu said firmly.

“If you agree, we might be together for the rest of our lives,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

Liang Lu didn’t dare to have such extravagant demands. After all, Lu Qing’s family background was there..

 

Chapter 756: 756 Iceberg Beauty

 

 

Aunt Zhou saw that the two people in the living room were almost done talking before she came downstairs with two sets of clothes in her hands.

“These are the clothes of Eldest Miss and Eldest Young Master. Please change into them.” Aunt Zhou handed the clothes to them.

Liang Lu didn’t have much dirty water on her body. Besides, she had just applied medicine and didn’t want to waste it. “It’s okay. I don’t need a shower.”

Lu Qing took the clothes from her. “You don’t have to shower. You just need to change your clothes. 1’11 go take a shower first. The dirty water on my body is quite uncomfortable.”

The weather was relatively hot, and the dirty water on his body had long been blown dry, leaving only an unpleasant smell. It was very unbearable for Young Master Lu, but because he had to apply medicine for Liang Lu, he did not notice the smell on his body.

Liang Lu also said embarrassedly, “Then you should go take a shower. I’ll go out and see what Rourou and the others are doing. 1 saw some barbecue outside just now. I’ll go and eat some.”

Lu Qing then remembered to ask Liang Lu if she had eaten. “Did you not eat dinner?”

Liang Lu sighed. “I didn’t eat dinner. I haven’t been able to eat all day today. As long as it’s after class, those lunatics will come and find trouble with me. I don’t have time to eat at all.”

Lu Qing’s heart ached. He said to Aunt Zhou, “Aunt Zhou, can you prepare some porridge for her? If she eats barbecue on an empty stomach, her stomach might not be able to take it.”

“Young Master Lu is really a very considerate person,” Aunt Zhou said with a smile.

Lu Qing turned his face away. “No, I’m not.”

Aunt Zhou smiled but did not say anything. The friends that the young miss made were all good people. They were kind, polite, and very loyal.

Lu Qing went to the bathroom to take a shower while Liang Lu came out after cleaning the stains on her clothes.

The Tao brothers were still grilling. They wanted to put away the barbecue, but Tan Rou called them and said that they would be back to eat later, so the Tao brothers set up the barbecue rack and continued grilling.

“Why didn’t you change into the clothes 1 asked Aunt Zhou to bring you?” Tan Rou saw Liang Lu wearing the dirty clothes again. She asked in confusion, “Don’t worry. 1 haven’t worn that set of clothes yet.”

Liang Lu shook her head and said, “It’s precisely because you haven’t worn that set of clothes that I can’t wear it. I’ve just applied medicine on my body. If I change into your clothes, it will dirty them.”

“We can wash them if they’re dirty.” Tan Rou said.

“There’s really no need. 1’11 change when I sleep later,” Liang Lu said.

Tan Rou didn’t say much. Liang Lu had just applied the medicine, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to shower and change immediately.

“How was your chat with Lu Qing?” Tan Rou gossiped.

Liang Lu pursed her lips and nodded. “He said he would protect me.”

After saying that, she buried her head in her knees.

Tan Rou smiled. “I didn’t expect Young Master Lu to say such a thing.”

Liang Lu agreed. “I didn’t expect him to say such a thing too. I’m very touched.”

When Li Li heard Liang Lu’s words, she knew that the two of them would be together soon. Among them, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu, Liang Lu and Lu Qing, Tian Tian and Big Brother Tao, they all had partners. She was the only one who was still single.

Oh, wasn’t she the only single person? Wasn’t the class monitor also single?

“Class monitor, let me interview you. What do you think when you see them as a couple?” Li Li used the corn cob as a microphone to interview Xu Yan, who had been silent all this while.

Xu Yan’s face was still cold. He calmly replied, “I wish them a happy marriage for a hundred years.”

“Doesn’t it make you want to date someone else then?” Li Li didn’t want this answer.

“Are you going to be the best man at their wedding?” Xu Yan asked in confusion.

Li Li felt that she could not beat around the bush with Xu Yan. She said directly, “Don’t you have the sudden urge to fall in love?”

If it were anyone else, they would probably be joking with Li Li, but Xu Yan had always been meticulous and did not like to joke with others. “No.”

Li Li felt bored. “Alright, alright. I’ll go interview someone else.”

“This handsome guy is so cold.” Shang Jin held a skewer in one hand and his face in the other. He looked at Xu Yan with a faint smile. “You have the temperament of the legendary ice beauty..”

 

Chapter 757: 757 Teasing

 

 

Xu Yan looked at her blankly. “Are you talking to me?”

“Yeah, icy beauty.” Shang Jin said with a smile.

Xu Yan frowned. “Beauty is used to describe girls. I’m a man, so 1 can’t be called a beauty.”

“Oh, you look so good when you frown. Did anyone say that you look cold and beautiful?” Shang Jin couldn’t help but praise.

Xu Yan was really not good at dealing with such straightforward girls.

“Looks like I’m the first.” Shang Jin sat beside Xu Yan. “Pretty junior, are you a freshman?”

“Please don’t call me as pretty,” Xu Yan corrected.

“Then do you want me to praise you for being handsome?” Shang Jin looked around. “I think someone like Brother Tan Rou is more handsome and your classmate with the surname Lu is also very handsome; but your temperament is different from theirs. You have a cold and aloof aura.”

“I’m neither aloof nor cold. I’m also indeed not as handsome as them,” Xu Yan said calmly.

Xu Yan was not the kind of person who was very handsome. He was very good-looking. There was a historical beauty about him. He had the temperament of an ancient scholar, like a graceful gentleman.

“Hehehe.” Shang Jin laughed a few times and handed him the skewer in his hand. “1 saw that you didn’t eat much just now. Do you not like it? Do you want to try the one I made? My craftsmanship is not bad.”

The skewers were already in his mouth, so Xu Yan could not refuse. He picked a smaller skewer and did not eat it.

“Why don’t you try it? Are you really an immortal who doesn’t eat food from the mortal world?” Shang Jin asked deliberately.

Xu Yan shook his head helplessly. “Senior, I’m really not the icy beauty you described. Stop teasing me.”

“How is this teasing? This is my sisterly love for you,” Shang Jin continued.

Xu Yan didn’t like to communicate with people. When he was with Tan Rou and the others, he would only talk to them when it was important and would often give useful suggestions. But most of the time, Xu Yan remained silent. He didn’t like to chat with others.

However, Shang Jin was different. Shang Jin was very cheerful and liked to make friends the most. She also liked people who looked very cold. As soon as Xu Yan sat there, she noticed him. She observed him for a whole night before she had the chance to talk to him.

Xu Yan was speechless. “Senior, you should pay attention to the others instead.”

“Ah Jin, can’t you be more reserved?” Jiang Min said. “Don’t tease him anymore. Don’t scare him away.”

Shang Jin wasn’t shy at all. “If 1 meet someone 1 like, I’ll chase after them. Why should I be reserved? I haven’t met anyone who can move my heart for many years, but when 1 saw you today, my entire heart was hooked by him.”

Xu Yan couldn’t stand it anymore. He held the skewer in his hand and planned to sit somewhere else. However, just as he took a step, he slipped on a piece of bone that was on the ground.

Shang Jin was quick to react. She threw down the skewers in her hand and hugged him. Xu Yan happened to fall into her arms.

“Hehehe, Little Junior Ice Beauty, are you throwing yourself into my arms?” Shang Jin took the opportunity to touch Xu Yan’s waist.

Xu Yan was relatively thin, but it did not mean that he was weakling. Usually, Xu Yan also paid great attention to his figure management and often exercised his body. It could be said that he looked thin when he wore clothes, but he was fat when he took off his clothes.

“You!” Xu Yan felt the hand on his waist and could not help but say in a more serious tone, “Don’t touch me!”

Tan Rou said, “Alright, Senior Shang. That’s enough. If you continue to cause trouble, the class monitor will get angry.”

Shang Jin let go of him and asked Tan Rou, “I keep hearing you call him class monitor. What’s his actual name?”

Tan Rou raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Yan. “Why don’t you tell her yourself?”

Xu Yan tidied up his clothes and took a few breaths to ease his embarrassment. Then, he said to Shang Jin, “Xu Yan.”

Shang Jin liked this name very much. She said, “This name has the meaning of a scholar.”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Xu Yan said.

Shang Jin felt the need to introduce herself again. She had not introduced herself formally enough just now. “My name is Shang Jin..”

 

Chapter 758: 758 Trying to Chase After Him

 

 

Xu Yan also politely praised Shang Jin’s name. “Well, your name is meaningful too.” After saying that, he walked away with a cold expression.

Shang Jin sat beside Tan Rou and started to ask about Xu Yan.

“Xiaorou, does your class monitor have a girlfriend?” Shang Jin gave Tan Rou the skewers he had roasted, wanting to bribe her.

Tan Rou replied, “The class monitor doesn’t have a girlfriend. When he was in high school, I didn’t hear anyone say that he was in a relationship. However, the class monitor is very serious in his studies. Other than his academic performance, there doesn’t seem to be anything that can make his expression change.”

“Did you guys know each other in high school?” Shang Jin was a little surprised.

Tan Rou said, “Me, Li Li, Lu Qing, and the class monitor. We were in the same class in high school. Lulu is in a different class from us.”

“Is your class that good?” Jiang Min couldn’t help but say, “So many people got into Capital University! You have to know that only three people in our city have been admitted to Capital University.”

“Only the class monitor got in based on his strength. The three of us are guaranteed students, we participated in the National Physics Competition,” Tan Rou explained.

“Xiao Rou, aren’t you being too low-key?” Li Li suddenly turned around and said, “Our Rourou is the first student to get full marks without extra points.”

“Oh,” Jiang Min revealed a meaningful smile. “So you’re the one who scored full marks in the Physics Department! Oh my god, the Almighty is actually by my side!”

Tan Rou smiled but didn’t say anything.

Li Li came over. “Are you guys asking about the class monitor? I know.”

Shang Jin passed his skewer to Li Li. “Junior, tell me quickly. Does your class monitor have a girlfriend?”

“No, he doesn’t.” Li Li revealed Xu Yan’s past once she had something to eat. “Senior, let me tell you. Not only does our class monitor not have a partner, but he’s also single. We were in the same class when we were in primary school. Over the years, I’ve seen many girls who confessed to him, but they were all rejected by him. He said that he only wanted to study hard and didn’t consider anything else.”

Shang Jin was a little disappointed. “Is he asexual?”

“That’s not necessary. The class monitor said that he just hasn’t met anyone he likes. If he meets a girl he likes, he’ll chase after her,” Li Li said.

Shang Jin felt hopeful again. “Then what kind of girl does he like?”

“A gentle girl with good grades. That’s what the class monitor said,” Li Li said.

Shang Jin was very confident. “I’m gentle and have good grades. I’m definitely his standard for choosing a spouse.”

Jiang Min couldn’t help but facepalm. “All Jin, why do you think you have a gentle personality?”

She still remembered what happened when Shang Jin came to their group. At that time, Shang Jin and Xue Lin were not on good terms. Once, they had a conflict. Shang Jin was angry and directly took Xue Lin out of the laboratory. The instructor who was watching the experiment was dumbfounded. He could not react to what had happened for a long time.

“I don’t care. 1 am a gentle person.” Shang Jin said.

“If you want to chase after the class monitor, you can give it a try.” Tan Rou suggested, “The class monitor has a cold personality and doesn’t take the initiative to make friends with others. Senior, you’re a very passionate person. Maybe your enthusiasm can move him.”

Shang Jin was very confident. “I’ll ask him for his number now!”

Speaking of his number,, Tan Rou remembered that Xu Yan’s phone was still with her. It was too chaotic earlier and she didn’t have the chance to give it to him. After she came back, she forgot about it.

“Class monitor’s phone is still with me.” Tan Rou took out her phone from her pocket. “I’ll return the phone to him first, then you can go and get his number.”

“Give me his phone,” Shang Jin said.” I’ll return it to him and ask for his contact information.”

Tan Rou wanted to see Xu Yan’s attitude towards Shang Jin, so she passed the phone to Shang Jin and said, “Good luck, senior!”

Shang Jin wiped her oily hands and went to find Xu Yan with his phone.

Liang Lu looked at them curiously. She knew Xu Yan’s personality. At that time, all the boys in school were afraid of her, but Xu Yan did not seem to be afraid of her. His face was always cold, as if he did not care about anything.

“What are you looking at? You’re so engrossed.” Lu Qing passed the porridge to Liang Lu.. “Eh, is that the class monitor?”

 

 

Chapter 759: 759 I Can’t Deal With It

 

 

Liang Lu patted the seat beside her and gestured for Lu Qing to sit down. “That senior seems to like your class monitor and is about to woo him.”

Lu Qing seemed to have heard something incredible. “Senior wants to pursue our class monitor? Then she’ll have to put in some effort.”

“Why?” Liang Lu asked.

Lu Qing sat down and said, “Based on my understanding of Xu Yan, he’s not someone who will fall in love easily. In his heart, falling in love will affect his studies.”

“All?” Liang Lu felt a little sad for that senior. “Then wouldn’t senior be very sad?”

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and said, “It depends on whether she can move the class monitor.”

Xu Yan saw Shang Jin coming over, but he didn’t hide. He didn’t do anything wrong, so why would he hide from Shang Jin?

Seeing that Xu Yan didn’t hide from her, Shang Jin became more confident. She handed her phone to him. “This is your phone. Rourou asked me to bring it over.”

Xu Yan still looked cold. “Thank you, senior.” Just as his hand was about to touch the phone, Shang Jin put it back.

“1 can return the phone to you, but I have a request. Let me add you on WeChat, and 1’11 return your phone to you,” Shang Jin said with a smile.

“If you don’t give me back my phone, how can I add you on WeChat?” Xu Yan said seriously.

“You can give me your number,” Shang Jin said after thinking for a moment.

Xu Yan knew what she meant, but he didn’t like the feeling of being forced. “Senior, if you give me back my phone now, 1 might be able to add you on WeChat but if you force me again, even if I add your WeChat, I will delete it.”

Shang Jin suddenly panicked and quickly stuffed the phone back to Xu Yan. “I’m sorry. I’ll return your phone to you. I don’t need you to add me too. Just don’t be mad!”

After Xu Yan took the phone, he opened the QR code. “Senior, let’s add each other on WeChat. “After saying that, he even found an excuse for his behavior. “You’re my direct senior. Maybe I’ll have questions to ask you in the future.”

Shang Jin heaved a sigh of relief and quickly added him on WeChat. “Okay.”

However, when Shang Jin gave Xu Yan a nickname, he gave him the nickname ■future boyfriend junior’.

After making the note, she showed it to Xu Yan. “Junior, are you satisfied with your address on my phone?”

Xu Yan glanced at it briefly and did not have much of a reaction. “This is your phone. You can make any note you want. You don’t have to consider my feelings.”

“Junior, you’re really calm. You’re so calm and cold.” Shang Jin said helplessly, “If it were any other guy who saw me giving him this remark, they would probably jump up. They would either object or agree but your attitude is really unpredictable.”

“That’s my personality,” Xu Yan replied. “1 don’t care about things that don’t matter.”

“As expected, the title of Iceberg Beauty is really suitable for you.” Shang Jin smiled and said, “When we meet in the future, 1 won’t call you junior. I’ll call you Iceberg Beauty.”

Xu Yan could not change the way Shang Jin addressed him, so he could only let her be. “I have no objections.”

Shang Jin happily returned to Tan Ron’s side. “One day, I will take down this iceberg beauty.”

Lu Qing’s mouth twitched. He really didn’t know if it was the class monitor’s luck or misfortune to be liked by this enthusiastic senior.

As they still had classes the next morning, they ended at around 11 o’clock and went back to school to sleep. Liang Lu stayed at Tan Ron’s place.

“I still have to go to school tomorrow. My things are all at school. If I’m going to a new school, I’ll need to bring them over,” Liang Lu said.

Tan Ron said, “Give me an address. I’ll send someone to get it tomorrow. You’re injured now, so don’t tire yourself out. Before you recover, stay here and rest well.”

Liang Lu was very obedient. “Thank you, Rourou.”

“We’re friends. You don’t have to be so polite.” Tan Ron said.

Lu Qing said goodbye to Liang Lu. He patted Liang Lu’s head and said, “It’ll be safer for you to stay here. Don’t worry about anyone bullying you. If you need anything, you can tell her. I’ll pay for it.”

“Who needs your money?” Liang Lu said proudly..

 

Chapter 760: 760 Let’s See

 

 

Lu Qing smiled. “Didn’t you say that you would give me a chance to woo you?”

Liang Lu said, “You have to be sincere when chasing your girlfriend. Don’t just use money. I’m not that materialistic.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Lu Qing liked Liang Lu’s current personality. “It’s all my fault. 1 won’t talk about money in front of you anymore.”

Tan Rou felt very gratified by the way they were getting along. Her good friends had found a good home, and she was happier than them.

Xu Yan and Lu Qing rushed back to the school. It was already past the curfew time, but it didn’t matter. They had already built a good relationship with the dormitory auntie. The dormitory auntie would open the door for them.

On the way, Lu Qing brought up Shang Jin. He teased Xu Yan, “Class President, you’re quite lucky in love. You’re also very charming. Shang Jin was attracted to you just by looking at you.”

Xu Yan put his hands in his pockets and shook his head. “It’s impossible between us.”

“Why?” Lu Qing also wanted to know.

“Our personalities don’t match. Senior Shang Jin is a very passionate person. If I get together with her, it will disrupt my plans.” Xu Yan said very calmly. He was an extremely rational person and did not like to be dominated by emotional emotions, so he chose not to think about other things, especially things related to love.

“Plans can never keep up with changes.”

As someone who had experienced it before, Lu Qing reminded Xu Yan, “You know very well what my relationship with Liang Lu was like in the past but now, we’re going to develop into a couple. It’s magical just thinking about it.”

“I’m different from you guys. You guys have a foundation together, but I don’t.” Xu Yan sighed. “Ever since 1 was young, I’ve been learning all kinds of things. I’ve never liked anyone or anything. You say that 1 love studying, but this is actually my habit. If 1 don’t study hard, I really don’t know what to do.”

“Class monitor.” Lu Qing patted Xu Yan’s shoulder. “You’re only 18 years old. Can’t you think of something more youthful? Go and fall in love, or go on a trip that you can leave at will to break your current situation.”

Xu Yan refused. “We’ll talk about it in the future. We can’t think about these things now.”

As he spoke, his phone vibrated twice. Xu Yan opened it and saw that it was a message from Shang Jin.

[My dear Iceberg Beauty Junior, have you arrived at the dormitory?]

Xu Yan only took a glance before he turned off his phone. He said, “Let’s go. I’m a little tired tonight. Let’s go back and rest early.”

On the other side, Liang Lu was still awake. She looked at the things that Tan Rou and Li Li had brought to her room. Her heart ached and she wanted to cry again but if she kept crying, it didn’t fit her image as a cool sister.

“It’s a little hot at night, and the air conditioner is too cold. That silk quilt should be just right for the cold at night.” Tan Rou brought a new silk quilt to Liang Lu.

Li Li gave Liang Lu the facial mask that she would put on when she slept. “This is the facial mask that Rourou gave us. It’s made from Chinese herbs and has no artificial ingredients. You can use it to remove the bruises on your face.”

Tian Tian took out her snacks. “I saw that you didn’t eat much at night. I was afraid that you would be hungry after sleeping until midnight. These are my favorite snacks. If you’re hungry, you can eat some to fill your stomach.”

Liang Lu accepted them one by one. “Thank you.”

“There’s a call bell by your bed. If you need anything, you can use it.” Tan Rou said.

“Yes, I understand.” Liang Lu nodded.

After talking for a while, Tan Rou and the others returned to their rooms to sleep. Liang Lu had not settled her matters at the new school, so she could rest for a few more days. However, Tan Rou and the others could not. They had to wake up early because they had eight classes tomorrow morning.

Aunt Zhou came in with a cup of Chinese medicine. “Miss has to go to class tomorrow, so she’s already resting. This is the medicine she instructed me to brew for you. Drink it before you rest.”

Liang Lu didn’t ask what medicine it was. Tan Rou definitely wouldn’t harm her, so she took the medicine and drank it in one go.

“I’ll be resting in the room on the first floor,” Aunt Zhou said. “Miss Liang, if you need anything, just press this bell.”

“Thank you,” Liang Lu thanked her politely..
