Chapter 88: 088 I want you to disperse_1"It’s okay, Yueyue, it’s really late, let’s sleep."

    Yao Meishu stroked Lu Jiayue’s hair, and shook her head as she spoke.

    An ambiguous glint flashed through her eyes.

    "Mom..."

    "Alright, go to sleep."

    Yao Meishu got up and walked out, her face changed for a moment as she turned around.

    It was not indifference, but a mix of complex emotions.

    Lu Jiayue watched Yao Meishu walk out, gripping the bedsheet tightly, her expression unreadable.

    What did her mother mean?

    Is effort not enough?

    Is it about talent?

    So, does Lu Qingyi have better talent than her?

    They’re born from the same parents, Yao Meishu never seriously interacted with Lu Qingyi, so how did she know that Lu Qingyi was talented?

    She picked up her phone, replied to Lin Yiran’s message, then turned off the screen, shut off the light, and tried to sleep.

    Throughout the night, she stared at the ceiling with wide open eyes, completely unable to sleep.

    The person she despised turned out to be her idol, which was more distressing than knowing that Lu Qingyi was better than her.

    ——

    "Sister, you’re amazing."

    The next day, Lu Jiayue went straight to the school store to find Lu Qingyi when she arrived at the school.

    She knew that Lu Qingyi always had breakfast in the school store. She had a large bag in her hand.

    "Need something?"

    Lu Qingyi had her hands in her pockets, her eyebrows slightly raised.

    Her whole attitude disinterested.

    Lu Jiayue asked with a sweet smile, "Did you have breakfast?"

    Lu Qingyi only looked at Lu Jiayue without saying a word.

    "I bought breakfast for you. We can share it with the people in the dorm."

    Lu Jiayue said sweetly, holding up the bag in her hand.

    Her innocent words sounded just like a caring little sister.

    "The college entrance exam is soon, aren’t you busy?"

    Lu Qingyi didn’t even glance at the bag in Lu Jiayue’s hand, her tone was cold.

    He who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.

    "Sister, when did you start to learn the piano?"

    Lu Jiayue bit her lip, looking at Lu Qingyi curiously.

    Lu Qingyi stared at Lu Jiayue for a second: "None of your business."

    "We are sisters." Lu Jiayue emphasized.

    "Apart from having a blood relationship, we are nothing."

    Lu Qingyi said so.

    An ordinary classmate or friend is better to her than Lu Jiayue, for they are not as hypocritical.

    "Kid, come get breakfast."

    Xu Boyan walked out of the school store, his face wearing a smile, his voice gentle.

    He seemed oblivious to Lu Jiayue, not sparing her a single glance. He gazed at Lu Qingyi, his eyes tender and doting.

    His eyes revealed his love.

    "Okay." After one last glance at Lu Jiayue, Lu Qingyi turned and left.

    As she passed by Xu Boyan, she put her hand in his. Xu Boyan held Lu Qingyi’s hand and they quickly disappeared from Lu Jiayue’s sight.

    Lu Jiayue bit her lip, her eyes fixed on the place where Lu Qingyi and Xu Boyan had disappeared.

    She was raging with jealousy inside.

    Lu Qingyi, Lu Qingyi.

    Why?

    Why wasn’t Xu Boyan’s gentle smile meant for her?

    The store owner was known to be unsmiling and indifferent. Yet why for Lu Qingyi would he suddenly become tender?

    Boyfriend and girlfriend, huh! Lu Jiayue suddenly seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up.

    "Yueyue, you’re early." S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Lan Xi, following behind Lan Guanghua, held a hot milk tea and greeted Lu Jiayue.

    Lu Jiayue’s eyes lit up when she saw Lan Xi, "Xi Xi, good morning."

    "Good morning, director."

    She greeted Lan Guanghua as well.

    Lan Guanghua nodded as an indication of hearing.

    "Yueyue, what are you doing here?" Lan Xi asked in confusion.

    Lu Jiayue came to school early, shouldn’t she have come to study? Why was she standing by the school store?

    "Ah, I’m looking for my sister." Lu Jiayue raised the bag in her hand as she spoke softly.

    "No one is in the school store." Lan Xi peered inside and reminded Lu Jiayue, seeing that no one was in the school store.

    Lu Jiayue answered: "My sister is having her meal inside."

    It was well known that people could live inside the school store.

    "Shouldn’t she be in the cafeteria?" Lan Xi, confused about the situation, asked naively.

    Boarding students usually either eat in the cafeteria or buy breakfast from the school store. There was no reason to go inside to eat.

    "My sister might not even have been to the cafeteria."

    Lu Jiayue bit her bottom lip, thought for a while, and then replied.

    Lu Qingyi’s card was handled by Lu Yao. Lu Yao had checked Lu Qingyi’s card balance and it was almost never used.

    One must swipe their card to eat in the cafeteria. If Lu Qingyi never swiped her card, it certainly means that she never ate in the cafeteria.

    If she didn’t eat in the cafeteria, she could only eat in the school store.

    Lu Qingyi initially knew Xu Boyan, or rather, Xu Boyan came to this school because of Lu Qingyi.

    All at once, Lu Jiayue felt like she might have uncovered some truth.

    Undoubtedly, Xu Boyan was handsome, even her heart was moved. But this man was just a mere shopkeeper.

    Indeed, creatures that grow up in the countryside often interact with people of lower social status.

    "She’s very friendly with the owner of the school store?" Lan Xi asked with a hint of surprise.

    She has always heard about this shopkeeper, very cool and handsome, but extremely aloof.

    "They are boyfriend and girlfriend." Lu Jiayue leaned in close to Lan Xi, and softly revealed the secret. She made sure her voice was just loud enough for Lan Xi to hear.

    She glanced at Lan Guanghua in the corner of her sight.

    Lan Xi was somewhat shocked, "What?"

    She thought she might’ve heard wrong.

    "Ah, this is something we can’t spread around. I’m only telling you. The school doesn’t allow puppy love. If Director Lan hears it, it won’t be good."

    Lu Jiayue shook her head and put on a reluctant face. She darted a look at Lan Guanghua, then exhaled a long breath.

    "Yueyue, you’re covering up for them!"

    Already disliking Lu Qingyi, upon hearing Lu Jiayue’s words, Lan Xi felt like she had just grasped onto some ammunition.

    Her uncle strictly forbid puppy love, he has broken up many couples in the school.

    "Xi Xi..." Lu Jiayue tugged slightly at Lan Xi’s clothes.

    "Yueyue, you are too kind. Despite her treating you like this, you still think of bringing her breakfast and covering up for her puppy love. Why don’t you think about yourself?"

    Lan Xi grabbed Lu Jiayue’s hand, sighed softly and spoke.

    Lu Jiayue is really a very kind girl, and she felt sincerely sorry for her.

    "Just wait, Lu Qingyi’s relationship is about to break up,"

    Lan Xi patted Lu Jiayue’s shoulder and said solemnly. Then she ran towards Lan Guanghua.

    "Xi Xi..." Lu Jiayue’s tone was a bit hesitant.

    After calling out, a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

    Lu Qingyi, I won’t let you live a better life than mine.
