The Black-Hearted Beauty Is Spied On By Crazy Critics Again [Quickly Pass] Chapter 23
byChapter 23 The Omega in the Aristocratic School 23 How Dare He…
Lu Qingyun didn’t idle away the last two days of the break. He began searching for the settings within the system’s mission. He roughly summarized that the plot required him to be bullied by those aristocrats. Those people were supposed to summon him to a specific location, but he wasn’t supposed to go; instead, the protagonist would go in his place, thereby completing his plotline.
However, his presence always brought about the butterfly effect, which he couldn’t control. Therefore, those people hadn’t bullied him yet, nor had they summoned him. He, on the other hand, had successfully added everyone’s contact information, except for Xie Jin.
But Xie Jin had left so abruptly last time that he would definitely come looking for him again. Thinking this, Lu Qingyun relaxed. He turned on his phone, thought for a moment, and typed out a message.
He copied it several times and sent it to several people individually. After sending, he ignored the various messages popping up, turned off the screen, and tossed the phone aside.
He sat in the chair, leaning his entire body back, one leg resting over the other. He closed his eyes and tilted his head up.
The final result was exactly as he had anticipated. Almost the same afternoon he finished planning, Xie Jin appeared again. At the time, Lu Qingyun had just finished showering and was about to draw the curtains to sleep when his eyes caught sight of the conspicuous motorcycle outside.
Lu Qingyun changed his clothes and headed out. He had only casually wiped his hair after showering, so it was still damp, and droplets of water slid down into his collar.
As the break neared its end, people were gradually returning with their suitcases. Their gazes all fell on the boy as they passed by. Lu Qingyun maintained a calm expression, walking through the corridor and taking the elevator downstairs.
As he walked out of the Dormitory, Xie Jin must have seen him. The body that had been leaning against the motorcycle straightened up, staring intently. Lu Qingyun walked over step by step until he stood before Xie Jin, the two facing each other.
Xie Jin seemed surprised that he had shown up, his eyes slightly dazed. When his gaze landed on Lu Qingyun’s hair, his brows furrowed.
“Why did you come out without drying your hair?”
Lu Qingyun casually ran his fingers through his hair, saying naturally, “I saw you downstairs through the window, so I came.”
His tone was completely normal when he said this, but to Xie Jin’s ears, it sounded somewhat ambiguous. Xie Jin lightly coughed, a suspicious flush spreading across his earlobes. He uncomfortably shifted his gaze, struggling internally for a moment.
Lu Qingyun didn’t understand what was wrong with him, so he didn’t press the matter. He pulled out the slip of paper he had prepared earlier from his pocket, holding it between two fingers and offering it forward.
“This is for you.”
Xie Jin took it doubtfully, unfolded it, glanced at it, and then looked up at Lu Qingyun uncertainly.
Lu Qingyun’s voice suddenly became soft. He spoke slowly, like a charming whisper.
“I hope you can come on time. I will be very happy if you come.” Lu Qingyun finished speaking, his eyelashes lifting slightly, his eyes fixed on Xie Jin with genuine sincerity. Then he added, “Can you?”
Xie Jin’s mouth parted slightly, and he took a sharp breath. He carefully put the note away and nodded, “Yes, I will definitely be there.”
Lu Qingyun’s lips curved up into a faint smile.
“That’s great.”
Xie Jin was momentarily stunned by his smile. He nervously tugged at his clothes, and in doing so, his hand hit something hard.
He realized what it was, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face. Still, he slowly pulled it out of his pocket. Xie Jin’s eyes fluttered, afraid to look up, and he slowly extended his hand, revealing the object in his palm.
Lu Qingyun followed his hand with his gaze. In the man’s palm was a small tube of ointment, packaged in a soft white shell. Lu Qingyun picked it up curiously. When he read the text on the label, his eyes widened slightly, a hint of absurdity flashing across his face. He looked up, speechless.
Xie Jin tilted his head, his stammering voice coming out at the same time.
“I don’t know if… that place still hurts.” Xie Jin scratched his head, his speech speeding up. “Ahem… don’t overthink it. I just bought it randomly on the way.”
Lu Qingyun also felt a bit awkward, stiffly raising the corner of his mouth. Last time, he had almost exposed his fox True Form, and Xie Jin had coincidentally assumed it was a toy Gu Hanshi used. Lu Qingyun hadn’t expected that turn of events, but he had gone along with it. Who would have thought there would be a follow-up?
Lu Qingyun sighed weakly in his heart: “Sure enough, one lie requires many lies to cover it up.”
He reached out, quickly took the ointment from Xie Jin’s hand, and put it into his own pocket.
“Thanks.”
“No need…” Before Xie Jin could finish his sentence, he suddenly reached out and pulled Lu Qingyun into his arms, then turned his back, shielding Lu Qingyun in front of him.
Lu Qingyun hadn’t expected him to suddenly hug him and reached out to push him away. Xie Jin quickly grabbed his hand and pressed his body closer.
He was tall and strong, completely obscuring Lu Qingyun. He leaned down close to Lu Qingyun and explained, “I just saw Lu Chi. He’s probably coming to find you.”
Lu Qingyun’s hand dropped, and he stopped struggling. His eyes showed understanding, followed by some confusion. He looked up at Xie Jin.
“So?”
Xie Jin bent slightly, his face flushed, his tone extremely awkward.
“Because I don’t want you to see him.” A hint of possessiveness flashed in his eyes, quickly turning into a look of grievance.
…
On the other side, inside the Dormitory building, Lu Chi rushed over, only to find the room wasn’t empty.
Lu Qingyun wasn’t in the Dormitory, but there was a boy standing inside. Lu Chi had been to Lu Qingyun’s Dormitory before and knew this person wasn’t one of his roommates. Lu Chi’s eyes filled with vigilance as he scrutinized the person in front of him.
Shen Zhifan was also observing Lu Chi. He recognized Lu Chi first; they had met once before.
That time, when Lu Qingyun was sick, Shen Zhifan had gone to find him, and the other boy inside was Lu Chi.
The two sized each other up for a moment. Lu Chi’s eyebrows suddenly twitched. He clearly remembered the person in front of him as well.
A thread seemed to connect in his mind, and a name abruptly surfaced, strange yet somehow logical.
Lu Chi narrowed his eyes and tentatively asked, “Are you Shen Zhifan?”
Seeing Shen Zhifan look slightly shocked, Lu Chi confirmed his guess, and his face darkened for a moment.
It really was this wild man. The last time Lu Qingyun sent him that photo of his neck, when he questioned Lu Qingyun, Lu Qingyun said he had sent it to the wrong person. When Lu Chi asked who he was originally going to send it to, Lu Qingyun had given this exact name.
Then, recalling the incident in the Equipment Room, this wild man had carried Lu Qingyun out, and the two seemed very familiar with each other.
Lu Chi clenched his fists, his eyes full of jealousy. He scrutinized Shen Zhifan up and down, unable to understand what Lu Qingyun saw in this person.
After realizing who this person was, Shen Zhifan became wary and asked, “What are you doing here?”
In his eyes, Lu Chi had bullied Lu Qingyun before, so he felt compelled to question him.
But this question sounded wrong to Lu Chi’s ears. Lu Chi frowned, feeling dissatisfied.
How dare this person question him with the air of a legitimate partner!
Just as he was about to vent his frustration, his gaze suddenly caught something. He looked again, uncertainly.
“What is that in your hand?”
Shen Zhifan’s eyes narrowed, and he hid his phone behind his back. He didn’t want the phone Lu Qingyun had given him to be damaged if the two of them started a conflict.
