Chapter 340 192: Would It Be Fine to Marry Lu? (Part 2)
Xie Manyu opened her mouth, just about to refuse.
But then she thought, the whole school must be full of pretty little girls secretly having a crush on her brother, in every grade and every class.
It's impossible to stop.
"Well… alright then, Sasha, after school, I… I'll mention it to my brother for you."
She somewhat begrudgingly reached out to take the prepared love letter from her deskmate.
After all, it was the first day of school, and she didn't want to make the relationship with her deskmate too tense. If she refused, and the other was petty, she might hold a grudge.
Honestly, do these social butterflies in First High really not understand the concept of boundaries?
Meeting her for just a few minutes, and already asking for help to deliver a love letter, utterly ridiculous!
Of course, the reason she was willing to help was because she knew very well that Sasha and her brother were totally impossible.
According to Xie Manyu's years of observation and deduction, her brother is highly likely to lean towards "mature women" when it comes to choosing a partner.
Because her brother's psychological maturity far exceeds his peers.
Girls like Sasha, these naive little freshmen, he probably sees as just kids and isn't interested at all.
So sending a love letter for her deskmate didn't really matter… after all, it wouldn't lead to anything!
"Wow, you're so nice, thank you, Xiao Yu!" Sasha said excitedly and shyly, hugging Xie Manyu's arm sweetly, "After school, let's go shopping, I'll get you some beautiful clothes. The biggest clothing store in Jinghai City is owned by my family, don't be shy, we're all family."
Wow, do you really think of yourself as my sister-in-law already?
That tone was as if she were an elder treating a younger one.
Xiao Yu sighed in desperation.
Looks like she'll be living under her brother's shadow for quite some time after transferring schools.
Her brother's aura at First High was so dazzling that, as "Scholar Lu's sister," she couldn't escape reflecting his glow no matter where she was.
************
Though Lu Xun wasn't clear about his sister's troubles with enrolling, he had a vague idea.
A brand new school environment, plus his influence at First High, probably left his sister a bit lost.
But it's okay because she wouldn't be there long anyway.
Their academic records would only stay at First High briefly; in a few days, their whole family would move to the Sixth-level Self-looping City.
It'd be a whole new beginning by then.
He went to Classroom 4 of Grade 3, only to find that there were very few students inside.
Wei'Er and Da Gu were there, but not many others.
Lu Xun asked and found out that it was due to yesterday's thrilling Rift experience causing many students significant psychological trauma, especially the one student who was chased by the Treasure Chest Demon. It's said that student was startled awake by the Treasure Chest Demon in their dream seven times last night and went to see a psychologist early this morning… truly unfortunate.
Everyone was still in shock, so the school kindly gave the students in Classroom 4 a week's break to calm their frightened hearts.
But since the college entrance exam was approaching, a few students still came back to study on their own.
"I can understand why others come back to study, but why are you back?" Lu Xun couldn't resist asking Wuer.
He had never seen this guy study proactively, yet now he was doing math problems with such determination.
"Brother Lu, I've decided to study hard from today onwards, to strive forward and not degenerate anymore."
Wuer Skull said with a solemn expression:
"Yesterday, the Undead Race's senior Mage Finn inquired about my academic performance. I lied to him, and afterwards felt ashamed. The senior is so powerful, yet still cares about me, an unfamiliar junior, I shouldn't have lied to him. I must study hard, so the next time I see Mage Finn, I can proudly tell him I didn't let him down!"
"I will remember the senior's advice, cherish every moment studying abroad in the Human Federation, achieve success in learning, then go back to build my hometown, and benefit the Undead Race!" It righteously declared, its voice passionate and inspiring.
Lu Xun: "…"
But the problem is, the Mage Finn whom you respect so much, is just a puppet! He couldn't help but internally retort.
Who would've thought that casually messing with his deskmate yesterday would inspire Da Gu's determination to learn?
…Seems like a good outcome too?
But given Wuer's history of inconsistency, he probably wouldn't keep it up for long.
"Brother Lu, mind your own business, you can play with Wei'Er if you want, but don't disturb my study. I've transformed, get it?"
Wuer said proudly, burying his head in work, vigorously doing math problems.
Seeing this, Lu Xun couldn't be bothered with him anymore.
He turned to look at Wei'Er and smiled, "You're doing problems too? So studious."
But Wei'Er, like an ostrich, buried her head, avoiding his gaze, and awkwardly replied, "Uh, morning, Lu."
She was acting very strangely, completely lacking her previous aloof demeanor.
As soon as Lu Xun showed up, she couldn't remain calm, her mind in turmoil.
He touched his chin, gave her a peculiar glance, and used the Mind Reading Techniques to peek into her thoughts, figuring out why she was so unsettled.
Then he advised her, "Are you still thinking about that thing? I've told you, don't worry about the minor details. Aren't the Elf Race lovers of life? What I did to lift your curse was to save your life, without any ulterior motives. Just like how there are male doctors in gynecology, it's perfectly normal, don't overthink it."
"Uh…"
Wei'Er nodded, then gave him a complicated look, as if she had something left unsaid.
