CHAPTER 695: CHAPTER 695: THE NEGLECT PLAN BEGINS TO TAKE EFFECT

At Courtyard No. 4 by Central Lake, Chen Fei heard the sound of Lu Xiao returning.

Earlier, she had indeed been angered by Lu Xiao’s words "making trouble out of nothing," but after calming down, she began to feel some regret.

To be fair, Lu Xiao’s change was visibly evident.

In the past, he would never say such things, he rarely expressed his love verbally, and almost never shared his inner thoughts so openly with her.

In her memory, after they fell in love, Lu Xiao acted as if he had completed some sort of mission.

He seemed...to take things for granted.

He took for granted that everything was settled, that his lover was devoted unconditionally.

Of course, she could actually accept all of this.

After all, Lu Xiao had given her a new life.

If it weren’t for Lu Xiao, she might still be an ordinary female assassin, doing jobs that could cost her head at any time.

But she also knew that such a relationship was, in fact, abnormal.

They had not gone through a long period of adjustment and understanding before getting together.

Lu Xiao’s taking things for granted was abnormal, and her intense gratitude towards Lu Xiao was also a kind of abnormality.

So, when she initially left, although the main reason was to become stronger so that Lu Xiao would not face any threats or harm in the future, deep down she also hoped that the separation would make their relationship a bit more normal.

"Maybe I should ease up a bit first?" Chen Fei muttered softly.

She felt Lu Xiao’s emotions.

Clearly, this guy didn’t want it to end just like that.

If she was too cold, would it make the guy back off?

"It won’t work..." But soon after, Chen Fei shook her head.

She still couldn’t be sure of the true reason why Lu Xiao didn’t want to end their relationship. It might be because he still loved her and couldn’t let go, but it might also just be because he couldn’t accept it.

If it was the latter, even if they got back together now, there would definitely be problems later on.

In Courtyard No. 3, Lu Xiao sat in the yard, looking up in the direction of Courtyard No. 4, silent.

When he came back just now, he almost called out for Chen Fei.

Thankfully, he held back at the last moment.

"Ah, I wonder if it’s going to work."

"It better work, otherwise I’ll beat those two idiots to death."

After mumbling for a while, Lu Xiao didn’t just sit there like a fool, he went to bed.

...

The next morning, as soon as Lu Xiao got out of bed, someone delivered breakfast to him.

After asking, he found out it was arranged by Mai Ganfu, who had not only arranged breakfast, but also had someone deliver lunch and dinner.

It was probably because they didn’t want him to go out to eat often and then have a killing spree in a fit of passion.

Lu Xiao happily accepted, since he couldn’t be bothered to go out to eat if someone was bringing it to him.

Besides, the spread looked quite sumptuous.

There were no less than ten different items just for breakfast.

After eating, Lu Xiao stepped out of the courtyard. The scenery around Central Lake was quite lovely, and seeing it early in the morning was good for physical and mental health.

But no sooner had he stepped out the front door than he saw Chen Fei exercising under a tree in the morning.

Her figure was indeed as good as ever.

Feeling his gaze, Chen Fei also looked up at Lu Xiao.

"You can have breakfast at the academy’s dining hall, five hundred meters east out of Central Lake," Chen Fei called out after a few seconds.

Lu Xiao, who had just arrived at Holy Hall Academy, was still unfamiliar with the place.

It was only right and proper to give him a reminder.

Lu Xiao took a slow breath, suppressing the urge to talk.

Then he just nodded lightly, gave a noncommittal hum, and turned away.

Watching Lu Xiao’s retreating figure, Chen Fei appeared to be obviously lost in thought.

This guy... why isn’t he saying a word?

Is he really angry about last night’s incident? Has he given up?
