Under a streetlight not far away

Wen Lingxiu’s long hair was scattered by the cold wind, her eyes calm and gentle as she looked over.

She wore a long black coat, buttoned up tightly, revealing a small section of her fair calf. She wore a pair of nude-colored thin high heels, looking solemn and silent.

Lu Xing’s gaze fell on Wen Lingxiu’s arm, where his own coat was draped.

Mm.

To still bring him a coat, she probably wasn’t angry about him leaving just now.

But, just now was just now. Now is now.

Not being angry just now doesn’t mean she’s not angry now.

Lu Xing paid no mind to Chi Yueshan and strode directly towards Wen Lingxiu.

He walked up to her.

Lu Xing gently tucked her wind-blown long hair behind her ear and said softly.

“Why didn’t you keep sleeping?”

Wen Lingxiu shook out the coat in her hand, draped it over Lu Xing’s body, and helped him tidy it.

“I woke up and saw you weren’t there.”

Her gaze fell heavily on Lu Xing’s smiling face, then over his shoulder, and saw Chi Yueshan behind him, also with a smile on her lips.

Finally, her gaze fell on the coat on Chi Yueshan’s shoulder.

Chi Yueshan smiled slightly, wrapped the coat tighter, and looked at Wen Lingxiu with an innocent expression, but in her heart, she was sighing at how good Lu Xing’s taste was.

The clients’ styles are really so varied!

Last time it was that damn psycho Song Junzhu. Now there’s even such a dignified… married woman?

Sigh.

Chi Yueshan suddenly thought of last time at the theater.

Chi Shui had clearly said there was a woman with a child next to Lu Xing. It should be this one.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Looking at Lu Xing’s attentive manner, she’s probably a current client.

Lu Xing’s professional integrity is really awesome. He can even handle this type!

It’s just, I wonder if this married woman is good to Lu Xing.

On the surface, she seems very good, even giving him clothes to wear. But who knows what’s underneath?

The black-bellied part of Chi Yueshan that enjoyed watching a show welled up again.

She could understand Song Junzhu going crazy. After all, that woman Song Junzhu looked very imposing.

But, she really didn’t know what this gentle and harmless married woman in front of her would look like when she went crazy.

The two’s gazes met.

After a moment, Wen Lingxiu withdrew her gaze, buttoned up the last button for Lu Xing, patted his chest to smooth out the wrinkles on his clothes, and said with a smile, 

“It’s cold at night. Remember to dress well. Your own body is the most important.”

Chi Yueshan’s face changed.

Fuck!

This married woman is doing it on purpose. 

Isn’t Wen Lingxiu blatantly saying that Chi Yeushan is so selfish that she left Lu Xing in the cold by taking his coat? 

Highlighting that Wen Lingxiu cares about Lu Xing being cold so she(Wen Lingxiu) brought him a coat while she(Chi Yueshan) only cares about herself being cold.

Hiss.

This woman is much more roundabout than Song Junzhu!

Lu Xing began a new round of appeasement.

“The weather is bad, but CEO Wen is good. CEO Wen really cares about me.”

Wen Lingxiu’s lips curved slightly. She looked at Chi Yueshan and asked,

“Is this your friend?”

Lu Xing nodded, 

“Yes, her name is Chi Yueshan. Her family owns a hospital. My family member is currently hospitalized, so I was asking about the situation.”

K.O.

Wen Lingxiu was speechless.

Lu Xing laughed inwardly.

Since he knew that Wen Lingxiu had investigated him, this was also an excuse he could use.

It would be a waste not to use it.

Maximizing benefits is the right way.

Besides, Lu Xing felt that he wasn’t lying. Weren’t they just talking about the hospital?

Wen Lingxiu didn’t want to talk about this anymore, so she nodded and said in an intimate tone.

“If you’re friends, you can invite her over for a meal at home in the future.”

Chi Yueshan showed a smile, her molars almost fucking grinding to dust.

Home?

What home?

Whose home?

Her and Lu Xing’s home?

Fuck!

Good, good, good. So good at hiding needles in cotton, are you?

Chi Yueshan suddenly felt that she had kicked a very soft, hard nail today.

“Okay, thank you, Auntie. I will definitely go to your house for dinner next time.”

Auntie?

Wen Lingxiu’s hand paused for a moment, her cold gaze sweeping over Chi Yueshan.

A cold sweat broke out on Lu Xing’s back.

Damn it.

These two women are clearly both smiling, but Lu Xing felt like he was seeing all sorts of flying knives, whizzing past his face!

No.

This can’t go on like this!

According to the law of conservation of embarrassment, embarrassment doesn’t disappear, it can only be transferred.

Anyway, Lu Xing didn’t want to be stuck in this awkward situation anymore.

And so, he quietly took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket, squinted his eyes to aim, and threw it hard towards the bushes.

Smack!

Hit!

“Ah!!!”

“There’s a snake!!!”

A duet of screams instantly came from the bushes.

Then, a man and a woman, jumped out of the bushes!

Under the streetlight, Wen Lingxiu and Chi Yueshan looked at the two very exposed people in front of them, their minds suddenly going blank, their mouths agape, forgetting what they were about to say.

The man and woman were also completely dumbfounded. For a moment, they didn’t know whether to cover their faces or their lower parts.

The scene suddenly fell into an awkward silence. Lu Xing lowered his head, forcing himself to maintain his expression.

Seriously, if it weren’t for the fact that those two’s butts were so snow-white, he really wouldn’t have noticed that there were people squatting in the bushes.

This is heaven’s punishment for foolish three-dimensional humans who try to play in public.

Chi Yueshan dazedly got back into the car.

“What’s wrong, sis? How did it go with your brother-in-law?”

Chi Shui’s car was parked relatively far away, so he didn’t see clearly what had happened.

Chi Yueshan asked, doubting her existence.

“Why would they squat in the bushes?”

“Huh?”

“Why aren’t they afraid of bacteria and dust?”

“Huh?”

“Why, when it only lasts three minutes, do they still have to do all these tricks?”

“Huh???”

Chi Shui was dumbfounded.

It’s over.

My sister hasn’t been driven mad by the blow from her brother-in-law, has she?

What the hell is she muttering about?!

…

On the way home, Wen Lingxiu held Lu Xing’s hand, softly pressing against his arm.

“CEO Wen, she’s actually…”

Lu Xing was about to operate again, but he was interrupted by Auntie Wen.

She could see that that Chi Yueshan was Lu Xing’s client, or rather, ex-client.

It wasn’t Lu Xing’s fault for doing this job, and she didn’t want to dwell on it.

Wen Lingxiu gently leaned on Lu Xing’s shoulder, looking at their two long shadows, and said slowly.

“It is okay.”

That night, Wen Lingxiu gained an achievement.

The ‘Three words that made Lu Xing ponder all night without sleep’ achievement.

…

The next morning

Lu Xing went to school with dark circles under his eyes.

Today was the day to go to Haicheng University. He originally didn’t want to go, but Xia Yeshuang made him go.

Alright! 

Listening to the client is his professional integrity.

He got on the bus to Haicheng University. The seat next to Lu Xing was empty.

“Excuse me, is this seat taken?”

“No.”

Lu Xing’s eyes couldn’t even open. He was sleepy and wanted to have a date with the Duke of Zhou.

Just as he was about to fall into a deep sleep, he suddenly smelled a fresh fragrance.

“Hmm?”

Lu Xing turned his head.

Wei Qingyu sat beside him with a blank expression and asked in a voice like the flowing of a clear spring.

“How many types of jujubes are there in this world?”

Her expression was too serious. Lu Xing thought it was an academic question, so he answered hesitantly.

“Red jujubes, green jujubes, big jujubes, and what else?”

Wei Qingyu was expressionless, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her skirt.

“And also, handsome-guy-jujubes.” 

(TL: A pun)

Lu Xing: ???

Smack!

Lu Xing slapped himself without hesitation.

Holy f*ck! 

Am I dreaming?!

The AI has gloriously evolved! 

(TL: Old Victor from League of Legends would be happy about it.)

(SHMOLL: Plays ‘The Line’~~)
