"I don't like you."

Lu Xing was silent for a moment, then reiterated it again.

Wei Qingyu nodded, not showing any sadness at all, and said with a calm face.

"I know."

"You should eat the cake quickly, or it will melt."

Seeing Lu Xing not taking it for a long time, Wei Qingyu tilted her head and looked at him with confusion.

"You said before that you thought of me as a sister."

"Were you lying to me?"

Lu Xing: ...

It's over.

The artificial retard has evolved into GPT-4.0!

I told you humans shouldn't develop AI like this!

Damn it.

Sooner or later, we'll enter the AI era, and every robot will be leading a human on a leash.

Alright.

Wei Qingyu, you bot, you win.

Lu Xing walked towards the classroom while eating the small cake. Wei Qingyu followed his pace, walking beside him.

She stared at the two shadows on the ground for a moment, then quietly moved a little closer to Lu Xing.

Although the distance between the two of them was still quite far...

Looking at the shadows on the ground, she was already leaning on Lu Xing's shoulder.

Wei Qingyu's lips curved slightly, a little light in her eyes. She asked with a hint of anticipation.

"Is the cake delicious?"

Lu Xing nodded. "It's delicious. It's not sweet."

As everyone knows.

The highest praise a Chinese person can give to a dessert is—"it's not sweet."

This represents a comfortable sweetness, a non-cloying sweetness, a non-overpowering sweetness.

Seeing that Lu Xing was satisfied, Wei Qingyu was also satisfied, the corners of her mouth lifting lightly.

"That's good."

"The small cake I gave you last time was too sweet."

"I thought about it later. You don't like to add sugar when you make breakfast, so you probably don't like sweets."

Lu Xing looked at Wei Qingyu with surprise.

This person was a little more intelligent than he had imagined.

To be able to deduce his preferences from such minor details.

Mm, mm, mm.

Really not bad.

Lu Xing gave her a thumbs-up.

It seemed Wei Qingyu had learned a few of his skills. If she wanted to she could definitely become an excellent professional simp in the future.

Wei Qingyu stared at the shadows on the ground and quietly moved a little closer to Lu Xing again.

Her usually flat, calm lake-like voice rarely carried a hint of lightness as she said softly.

"Actually, I should apologize to you."

"I only considered my own feelings and rashly came to the piano room, but it made you not eat well."

"I won't go again in the future. You should eat well."

Compared to seeing Lu Xing, she would rather Lu Xing be a little healthier and happier.

Clearly.

After this noon's incident, she suddenly realized that her appearance had been a bit selfish.

Holy f*ck!

Lu Xing was shocked.

Is this a top student?

In such a short time, she can already review and learn from her experience?

Lu Xing thought for a moment and said.

"Xia Yeshuang didn't do it on purpose. She feels very guilty towards you now."

Hearing Lu Xing speak up for Xia Yeshuang, Wei Qingyu's heart went numb for a moment. She shook her head and said.

"It's okay. She didn't know about this matter. It's not her fault."

"I already have many things that others don't. I should be content. I won't be sad."

Lu Xing was taken aback for a moment. He hadn't expected this AI Wei Qingyu to answer like this.

Fuck!

Lu Xing was silent for a moment, then said.

"The seven emotions and six desires are the factory settings of a human being."

"If you're sad, you're sad. Sadness isn't a comparison."

"It's like when someone says, 'I'm so tired,' and someone else says, 'Others are more tired than you. What right do you have to be tired?'"

There's no such logic. This isn't a misery competition.

Lu Xing looked at Wei Qingyu and said with rare sincerity.

"Just because someone has it harder than you doesn't mean you can't be sad. That is your right."

"My... right?"

Wei Qingyu was stunned.

No one had ever said such a thing to her.

She had heard others talk about her, saying how could she not be content with such a good family background.

People in Africa don't even have clean water to drink, and polar bears have no place to stand.

Who isn't more miserable than her?

What is she doing with a long face all day? Why is she unhappy? What right does she have to be unhappy?

So pretentious!

But now Lu Xing said... she could be unhappy.

Wei Qingyu suddenly smiled, not a reserved smile, but one that radiated from her eyes to the corners of her mouth with delight.

She could be happy, and she could also be unhappy.

She could speak when she wanted to speak, and she could not speak when she didn't want to.

These were all her rights.

"Thank you."

Wei Qingyu's eyes curved into a smile. This was the first time Lu Xing had seen her smile so freely.

"I'm very happy now."

Ah.

Lu Xing thought, the AI robot has really evolved.

"Listen, the horn of a new journey has sounded, the goal of a strong army calls from ahead.

If the country is to be strong, we must take responsibility. The battle flag is filled with iron-blooded glory!"

Aiyo, holy crap!

Lu Xing and Wei Qingyu were both startled and listened to the song in disbelief.

No.

Did the radio station change its style today?

So patriotic!

...

After school in the afternoon

Lu Xing packed his things, looked back, and saw Li Dachun writing furiously.

Ever since he had said that sentence, Li Dachun had been like he was on chicken blood.

(TL: I think he is talking about the "Then we have never known each other" sentence.)

He was desperately doing practice problems. When he encountered a problem he couldn't solve, he would persistently go and bother Hu Zhongzhong.

Hu Zhongzhong deserves it.

Lu Xing thought for a moment, then took out some snacks from his bag and handed them to Li Dachun.

"Combine work and rest."

Li Dachun looked at Lu Xing with pleasant surprise.

"Adoptive father, you understand me!"

Lu Xing smiled and patted his shoulder.

"When you're tired from reading later, go buy some business books to read. Think of it as a way to relax."

Li Dachun was just slow, not stupid. He immediately thought of it.

"You're going to do business in university and you want to bring me along, so that's why you want me to get into Haicheng University?"

He was a little surprised!

Fuck!

As expected of his adoptive father. He even brings him along for money-making things!

Lu Xing slung his schoolbag over his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Half right. You can go learn about some of Haicheng University's special features."

He was going to do business, but the person didn't necessarily have to be at the school. So he needed an executor, in short, a tool person.

Watching Lu Xing's departing back, Li Dachun whimpered.

Damn it!

I hate riddles the most!

He couldn't figure it out.

"Whatever, I'll just go bother Hu Zhongzhong."

According to the law of conservation of smiles, smiles don't disappear, they just transfer.

Thinking of Hu Zhongzhong's frantic look in a bit, Li Dachun couldn't help but laugh.

He walked up to Hu Zhongzhong.

Smack!

"Hey! Let me ask you something!"

Hu Zhongzhong was startled. He was really speechless with this brute.

An endless supply of bull-like strength all day!

Hu Zhongzhong rolled his eyes. "Say it!"

"What are the special features of Haicheng University?"

Huh?

Hu Zhongzhong's brain suddenly crashed. For a moment, he really couldn't remember.

Li Dachun had learned a bit of Lu Xing's essence.

"No way, no way. The Study Committee Member is so knowledgeable, you don't know?"

Fuck!

Hu Zhongzhong was furious and immediately searched for information.

After a moment.

He spoke with confidence.

"Haicheng University is a university with a long history. Its domestic ranking is... blah blah blah... faculty... doctoral programs... academicians..."

"Oh, right."

"It also has the most mature and complete leave of absence system in the country. As long as you provide proof of physical or mental abnormality, you can take a leave of absence for one year."

"Many students will take a year off to travel or vacation or something. You just have to be careful not to run too wild and make your family unable to find you."

"But in short, the procedures are simple, the operation is simple. Everyone who has taken a leave says it's good👍!"
