Chapter 89: 089I am already an adult_1Lu Qingyi stood in front of the desk, uninterested. Her hands tucked in her trouser pockets, head slightly lowered, and expression indifferent.

    "Qingyi..."

    Lan Guanghua didn’t know what to say, seeing the girl’s carefree demeanor in front of him.

    "If there’s something to say, say it."

    Lu Qingyi didn’t feel any need to show extra respect to Lan Guanghua just because he was the school’s disciplinary officer, her tone remained cold.

    There was no fear, no timidity, only indifference.

    "Do you know the school rules?"

    Lan Guanghua didn’t specify, instead asked after a pause for brief thought.

    Lu Qingyi lazily blinked her eyes and said, "I don’t know."

    Lan Guanghua: "..."

    That was direct.

    He thought that Lu Qingyi would claim to know them, considering each student was given a copy of the school rules, filled with the school’s regulations.

    "Read for yourself."

    Lan Guanghua didn’t spell it out, he pulled out a booklet of school regulations from his drawer.

    Lu Qingyi didn’t move, she glanced at the school rules laid out on the desk, "Speak directly if there’s something to say."

    She didn’t like beating around the bush. It wasted time.

    "I heard you’re in a relationship."

    Lan Guanghua rubbed his nose awkwardly. He decided to be direct.

    Heard of it?

    Really, just heard of it?

    Lu Qingyi smirked. She slightly curled up the corner of her lips, her expression disinterested.

    "It’s not a rumor. I am in a relationship."

    Lu Qingyi took out her hands from her pockets, grabbed her neck with her right hand, twisted it a few times. Her voice was a bit cold.

    Lu Jiayue.

    A name emerged in her mind. Other than Lu Jiayue, who would be so idle to report her?

    Did she think Lu Qingyi would be scared?

    Lan Guanghua: "..." Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Lan Guanghua was speechless. Normally, Lu Qingyi should have denied it. Then he would have been prompted to interrogate her until she confessed reluctantly, and he would then concoct various ways to persuade Lu Qingyi to break up.

    But why didn’t things go as expected?

    Lu Qingyi had confessed so straightforwardly that she was dating someone.

    "Qingyi, having a relationship at your age isn’t right. As a student, you should be focused on your studies and not thinking about such nonsense. Your boyfriend is the small shop’s owner, right? He’s a societal youth who loves to deceive students like you. In the end, it’s always the girls who get hurt in these teenage relationships..."

    Lan Guanghua drank a sip of water to wet his throat. Then he started his long lecture, trying to instill ideology in Lu Qingyi.

    "Principal, I’m an adult." As such, she wasn’t having an early romantic relationship anymore.

    Lu Qingyi interrupted Lan Guanghua’s words. Her cold, firm voice sounded as a reminder.

    Being in love after turning eighteen isn’t considered teenage love anymore.

    Lan Guanghua: "...No, now is not the time to be caught up in this matter. I am worried you would be scammed. There are so many cases of university girls being deceived nowadays, you have to stay vigilant. Don’t get fooled by a man’s sweet words. Listen to my advice, break up. Current relationships don’t last, but in future, you can find someone better, someone you can be with in the long term."

    Lan Guanghua, with a lot of love and concern, kept urging. He could not muster up a strong attitude towards Lu Qingyi, and was even stumped by Lu Qingyi’s declaration, "I’m an adult."

    It is true, Lu Qingyi is now nineteen, and having a relationship isn’t considered early love anymore.

    "So, the reason Principal has been talking so much is to persuade me to break up?"

    Lu Qingyi’s gaze met Lan Guanghua’s eyes. Her expression was particularly calm without any ripples.

    "Yes, as long as you understand..."

    "I’m sorry, I have no intention of breaking up."

    Lan Guanghua’s words were interrupted by Lu Qingyi before he could finish.

    The smile on Lan Guanghua’s face instantly froze.

    "Qingyi..."

    "Love is a matter of mutual consent. I currently have no intention of breaking up, so sorry, Principal."

    Lu Qingyi interrupted Lan Guanghua’s words once again.

    Lu Qingyi’s eyes held a firm resolve. Her voice grew colder, not intimidated even in front of the school’s disciplinary officer.

    No one could force her into doing something she didn’t want to.

    Lan Guanghua: "..."

    In his twenty years of teaching, he had never seen such a forthright student.

    Most young couples claimed to break up in his presence, but then continued to stay together. Lu Qingyi was more ruthless. She directly stated that she wouldn’t break up.

    Being the disciplinary officer was indeed not easy for him.

    "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first."

    Lu Qingyi casually put her hands back into her pockets.

    She was getting a bit tired.

    "You are liable to be suspended."

    The school regulations explicitly mentioned this.

    If one remains unrepentant even after being educated after the first offense, parents will be called after the second offense. After the third offense, they can be suspended. The school was quite strict against early relationships.

    "Whatever."

    Lu Qingyi lazily blinked her eyes, unaffected.

    It didn’t matter to her.

    Lan Guanghua:"...."

    Didn’t she care about getting suspended?

    All other students he had met before were terrified of getting suspended by the school. But Lu Qingyi was indeed an exception.

    "Think carefully when you get home." Lan Guanghua said with some resignation.

    "Ok."

    Lu Qingyi replied indifferently and then left the office, without taking any of the conversation to heart.

    She just felt Lan Guanghua talked too much and was very annoying.

    "Sister, are you okay?"

    The moment the office door opened, Lu Jiayue greeted her with a worried look.

    "Childish."

    Lu Qingyi looked at Lu Jiayue for a few seconds and then slowly spoke these two words.

    Only children would play such silly tricks.

    Did she want to see Lu Qingyi get scolded, or break up, or even get suspended?

    "Sister, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I spoke without thinking."

    Lu Jiayue bit her lower lip in grievance and then raised her right hand to slap her own mouth. She slapped herself several times in succession.

    "Yueyue...Lu Qingyi, I was the one who reported you. If you have any complaints, take it up with me."

    Lan Xi immediately pulled Lu Jiayue away and stood in front of her, looking up at Lu Qingyi.

    "I know."

    Lu Qingyi’s tone was calm. She looked coldly at Lan Xi and Lu Jiayue.

    She didn’t need to guess much to know that Lan Xi was the one who told Lan Guanghua about her relationship.

    As for Lu Jiayue, she was just someone who relayed the message and fanned the flames.

    "What do you know?" Lan Xi was slightly stunned.

    Wasn’t Lu Qingyi supposed to be really angry?

    "Crossing me won’t do you any good," Lu Qingyi raised an eyebrow and said.

    She might not act against Lan Xi now, but who knows about the future.

    Lu Qingyi suddenly asked Lu Jiayue, "Do you want to get into Hardrick University?"

    Lu Jiayue nodded her head, "But I don’t think I can."

    She said she couldn’t, but in her heart, she always considered herself capable of getting into Hardrick University.

    "Indeed, you can’t."

    Lu Qingyi smirked and then nodded.

    Was it that easy to get into Hardrick University? Even if Lu Jiayue’s marks were enough, she wouldn’t get in while Lu Qingyi was there.

    Lu Jiayue bit her lip in grievance, "Sister..."

    "Are you implying that you can get in?" Lan Xi patted Lu Jiayue’s shoulder and glared at Lu Qingyi.
