The word "whatever".

From now on, it would become a nightmare, appearing in Lu Xing's dreams at all hours.

It was too damn painful!

Before, although some of his clients were quite perverted, they could basically express their thoughts normally.

But Xia Yeshuang was different.

She was a die-hard tsundere!

She wants you to guess!

Lu Xing now finally understood why tsunderes were a nerfed build.

It was truly painful!

When I see a tsundere in an anime, I clap my hands in delight.

When I meet a tsundere in real life, I really want to run!

I want to run away, but I can't escape~~~ 

(TL: Is bro singing on the job?)

Fortunately, Xia Yeshuang wasn't too excessive, and finally, reluctantly agreed to the name "Big Sister Xia".

However, at this point, another problem arose. Lu Xing asked with confusion.

"I think I'm a little older than you?"

Xia Yeshuang looked at him sideways. "You have a problem with it?"

"Nope!"

Damn it.

It was hard enough to get this little Goldie to agree. Lu Xing didn't want to go looking for trouble!

Whatever.

Calling her big sister is fine.

When he gets the chance in the future, he'll definitely make this little Goldie call him big brother!

But this top-tier restaurant's food was delicious.

Lu Xing said with concern as he took big mouthfuls of food, "Big Sister Xia, why aren't you eating?"

Xia Yeshuang propped her chin up boredly, swinging her legs on the piano bench.

"I'm on a diet."

Huh?

"But you're not fat." Lu Xing was dumbfounded.

This little Goldie looks like she could be blown away by the wind at any moment. What the hell is she dieting for!

Xia Yeshuang was amused by Lu Xing's reaction, her eyes curving into a smile, exceptionally cute.

"You wouldn't understand girls' matters even if I told you."

Alright.

Lu Xing didn't ask any more questions. He couldn't influence any client's decision; he could only obey.

So he just showed appropriate concern.

"Then I won't make that congee tomorrow. Just having congee in the morning is too high in calories."

"Don't you dare!"

Xia Yeshuang instantly became alert, her almond-shaped eyes widening as she glared at Lu Xing.

Lu Xing cursed his mother in his heart.

He wanted to take the opportunity to get his "extra half-hour of sleep" trial card back, but it was rejected just like that. 

Damn it!

"Big Sister Xia, you can have your family's chef make you some breakfast suitable for dieting."

"I don't want to!"

Xia Yeshuang recalled the feeling of drinking the warm congee that morning.

People always awaken some of their Chinese DNA at the right time.

For example, suddenly falling in love with listening to opera, or suddenly falling in love with gold.

Before, Xia Yeshuang felt that just eating some Western-style food for breakfast was fine.

But after drinking the congee today, she still felt that a Chinese-style breakfast was more suited to her stomach!

So Wei Qingyu had been eating so well behind her back!

"I want to drink the congee you make!"

Lu Xing: ...

If you don't want to eat what your family chef makes, give it to me!

Damn it!

"Right." 

Xia Yeshuang saw the pen and paper Lu Xing had brought and suddenly remembered something. 

"Your grades are pretty good, right?"

Lu Xing realized she was being serious, so he nodded.

"They're okay. Barring any accidents, I should be able to get a score high enough for Haicheng University."

Xia Yeshuang raised an eyebrow, not expecting Lu Xing to be so confident.

"Alright then."

"I'll be doing practice problems in the piano room at this time every day. If I have any questions, you can answer them for me anytime."

"Okay."

Lu Xing answered very readily. If he did nothing, he wouldn't feel at ease taking this one hundred and fifty thousand.

Xia Yeshuang glanced at Lu Xing.

"Why do I feel like you just let out a sigh of relief?"

Lu Xing blinked his eyes.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Xia Yeshuang's eyes were nimble. She glared at him. "Both."

Alright.

Quite greedy.

Lu Xing said honestly.

"The lie is, I'm so happy to be in the same room with the beautiful Big Sister Xia."

"The truth is, thank goodness Big Sister Xia is so inteligent and her grades are good. Otherwise, if you were dumb and I kept tutoring you, I'd end up in a vocational college myself."

Xia Yeshuang was stunned for a moment, then let out a delicate laugh and scolded.

"You bastard!"

Xia Yeshuang suddenly felt that her days ahead would be very amusing.

...

Lu Xing and Xia Yeshuang returned to the classroom together.

Wei Qingyu looked up, her eyes dim, but Wang Zhenzhen's words echoed in her mind.

"I like... Lu Xing?"

Wei Qingyu felt that Wang Zhenzhen's conclusion was very unreliable because there was no theoretical basis to prove that she would fall in love with Lu Xing.

But Wang Zhenzhen had also said:

Love doesn't need a reason.

The ideal type that everyone confidently talks about before falling in love will collapse with a bang when they meet that person!

Wang Zhenzhen said.

When you like someone, you'll feel stuffy in your chest when you see them with someone else.

Wei Qingyu watched the scene of Lu Xing and Xia Yeshuang together.

A talented man and a beautiful woman, a good match.

She reached out and placed her hand lightly on her chest. "It seems to hurt a little?"

Wang Zhenzhen saw that Wei Qingyu seemed to be on the verge of an epiphany and instantly felt that her novels hadn't been read in vain. 

She had finally gotten through to this silly girl!

The next second

Wei Qingyu asked her with confusion.

"But I still don't understand. Why would I like Lu Xing?"

Wei Qingyu's expression became determined.

"Every mathematical formula has a theoretical basis. I must find the reason why I like Lu Xing."

Wang Zhenzhen: ...

Damn it.

She's had an epiphany, but not a complete one!

Wang Zhenzhen was in despair.

Why the fuck does liking someone need a reason? Where are there so many reasons?!

Liking is just liking!

By the time you find a reason, Lu Xing and Xia Yeshuang's kids will be crawling all over the damn floor!

Wang Zhenzhen couldn't understand how Wei Qingyu had developed such a rigid and formal personality!

Sometimes, a heart flutters with just a sudden thump. Who can control their own hormones???

Numb.

Truly numb.

Wang Zhenzhen gave up on treatment.

She suspected that Wei Qingyu's prenatal education was the Ten Thousand Whys, which was why this person had such a strong desire for knowledge!

Just bury her.

She really can't save this girl. She deserves to be single!

In the eighteen years of Wei Qingyu's life, everything that happened had a reason. She couldn't accept principles that were beyond her control.

Therefore–

Wei Qingyu watched Lu Xing return to his seat and muttered in a low voice.

"Everything in the world has a reason. It's impossible for there to be no reason for me to like you."

She must find this reason!

She hated the feeling of losing control.

...

Afternoon, after school.

Li Dachun shouted loudly.

"All students participating in the sports meet, let's go to the field to practice! There's food and drinks, it's great!"

"Yay!!!"

"Let's go, let's go! Today I'll let you know what a reincarnated boss is!"

"Running 800 meters is a piece of cake! Let's go eat ice cream!"

The class instantly boiled over.

Lu Xing had already made arrangements with Li Dachun. He gave him a wink and slipped away.

After a large group of people participating in the sports meet had left, the remaining people were still in the classroom for self-study.

Xia Yeshuang quietly glanced at Wei Qingyu. Mm, she's doing practice problems.

Wei Qingyu secretly glanced at Xia Yeshuang. Mm, she's playing on her phone.

An hour later.

Xia Yeshuang and Wei Qingyu met on the sports field, their eyes widening in surprise.

"What are you doing here!"

Wei Qingyu was silent for a moment, her gaze sweeping over the practicing contestants, and said calmly.

"The sports field is public property."

So pretentious. Public property?

Xia Yeshuang wanted to laugh when she heard it. She lifted her head arrogantly and said mockingly.

"Aren't you just here to find Lu Xing? Why make it sound so grand!"

Wei Qingyu was silent but did not deny it.

The two most beautiful girls in the entire school arrived at the sports field at the same time. 

The contestants, who were originally a bit disheveled from the exercise, were instantly pumped with adrenaline.

Their backs no longer ached, their legs no longer hurt, they could jump high, and they could run!

Damn it!

Just now they were all pretending to be Lin Daiyu, and now they can uproot a weeping willow?! 

(TL: Lin Daiyu is a famously frail and sickly character. Uprooting a willow is a feat of great strength from the novel Water Margin.)

Li Dachun felt like he was seeing countless peacocks on the sports field, all spreading their tails with all their might!

Xia Yeshuang glanced at the contestants at the starting line and asked Li Dachun impatiently.

"Where's Lu Xing?"

Instantly.

Li Dachun saw everyone on the sports field droop their heads in unison, as if they were sweeping robots about to run out of battery. They were probably cursing Lu Xing in their hearts!

"Xing-xing is training at home. He said he has a treadmill there," Li Dachun said seriously, his pocket still stuffed with the small snacks Lu Xing had given him.

Dachun has drifted for half his life, only regretting that he had not met a wise lord. If the lord does not abandon him, he is willing to worship Xing-xing as his adoptive father!

And adoptive father is a real sport, always bringing him some delicious imported snacks!

Delicious! Love to eat!

"What? He left without telling me?!"

Xia Yeshuang was instantly furious. She took out her phone and started bombarding Lu Xing with messages!
