Miss Anne, It's Time to Get Up

During dinner, under Xiao Yu's personal guidance, Lu Xing went over the relationship chart she had sent him last night.

There were over twenty people in total, not including those she interacted with for business.

Lu Xing's relationships were much simpler: his three roommates, his advisor, and a few high school classmates from the same university. Lu Xing then taught her how to read the course schedule so she could attend classes for him.

"I have a question."

Lu Xing looked at her.

"Ask," Xiao Yu said, blowing on the food on her chopsticks.

"Do you know anything about computer science? I have a midterm exam in a month."

"I have a double master's degree in Law and Economics~"

Xiao Yu's tone held a hint of pride. "A month is more than enough time to handle your exam, but I think what you should be most worried about is how to teach the Cold Ice Fairy and the noble young lady advanced math and how to write English essays in a month!"

"Uh!"

Lu Xing's head ached.

How could a cultivator and a magic user learn advanced math and English?

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yu covered her mouth and laughed.

Lu Xing said, "How about I find a way to bring back the proof of Goldbach's Conjecture from the Future World, write it into a paper, and publish it, becoming a full professor directly!"

Xiao Yu was dumbfounded, then burst into laughter, teasing, "A math problem of that level, if you publish it, will definitely attract the attention of mathematicians worldwide, and you'll definitely be invited to give a report at top math conferences where they'll ask you questions on the spot. Tell me, how will you handle that?"

Lu Xing replied with a smile, "Then I'll be the next Ramanujan."

"Ramanujan was also a top mathematician; he could solve general math problems too."

"It seems I can only be a prophet, a prophet leading all of humanity towards a bright future!"

"I think you're a charlatan."

After complaining about him, Xiao Yu did offer a solution: work at her company.

Lu Xing's eyes lit up, and he decided to go eat the soft rice of the rich, beautiful returnee tonight!

Chatting idly, the two ate for an hour. Afterward, Xiao Yu elegantly wiped her moist, rosy lips with a tissue and said to Lu Xing, "I'll have my assistant drive you back. Next time, you'll probably turn into Anne, and the day after tomorrow it will be me again, but let's agree on one thing first: I won't stay overnight in your dorm!"

Her words were very ambiguous.

However, the reason for the ambiguity was that Xiao Yu would turn into Lu Xing and have to stay in the male dorm.

Lu Xing suppressed a laugh. "What's the big deal? Don't worry, there are no gay guys in our dorm!"

Xiao Yu glared at him. "Last time I got out of bed, I used your sheet to cover myself. Who's like you, running around the room naked?"

Lu Xing said, "Don't you sleep naked on top?"

"Don't say that!"

Xiao Yu's face flushed. She got up, picked up her bag, and walked out. Lu Xing followed her, amused.

The bill was naturally paid by the assistant. Lu Xing took their BMW back to school.

Back at the dorm, Qi Wenyu asked him, "Went on another date with a beautiful older sister?"

"What date?"

Lu Xing was slow to realize that he had just agreed to have dinner with Xiao Yu. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, wasn't it half a date?

Recalling what had just happened, Lu Xing asked Qi Wenyu, "Do you think if I go get diagnosed for a mental illness, I can get a confirmed diagnosis?"

"Guaranteed!"

Qi Wenyu nodded vigorously.

"I'll go ask Director Li."

Lu Xing went downstairs to the counselor's dorm to discuss it with Director Li.

"You want to move out?"

Director Li quickly understood his intention and said, "You don't need to get a mental illness certificate. You're already in your third year now, and the school's management isn't as strict as it was in your first and second years. You're allowed to rent a place outside. Just write me an application. Of course, if your illness is very serious, you still need to see a doctor! We can figure out the money later."

"Thank you, Director Li!"

Lu Xing breathed a sigh of relief. This solved the problem of Xiao Yu not wanting to stay in the men's dorm. Although their exchange hadn't lasted a full day yet, it was better to be prepared.

On the way back to the dorm, he sent a message to Xiao Yu.

"Okay, I'll have my secretary find a house near your school."

Xiao Yu's reply was still quick and direct.

"No need to rush, we can talk about it when you absolutely have to stay overnight in the dorm."

"No, I have a feeling the house will be needed soon."

Lu Xing was speechless. Rich people are willful.

That night, he lay in bed and brought up the exchange game panel.

All the attributes were the same as before. The only difference was that he now had seven hundred experience points.

"I'll save them for now and see after I finish the first round of novice tasks."

"It's a shame I couldn't ask for the Fairy's name. When I go back this time, seeing as you ate half a bag of my cookies, you should tell me, right?"

Lost in thought, Lu Xing slowly drifted off to sleep.

He didn't know how long had passed when he was gently pushed on the shoulder, and a soft voice called out in his ear, "Miss Anne, you should get up now, Anne..."

"Quiet, don't be noisy!"

Lu Xing turned over and pulled the covers over his head, subconsciously thinking it was a dormmate getting up. He ran his hand through his hair and realized his long hair had grown longer at some point and had turned golden.

"Miss Anne, do you want to sleep in again?"

The maid increased the force with which she shook his arm and knelt on the soft bed of the noble young lady, bending over and leaning in front of him.

Lu Xing opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw the maid's beautiful emerald green eyes and delicate face. His eyes widened suddenly.

The head maid frowned slightly and quietly got out of bed. "Miss Anne, are you up?"

"...Yes, I'm up!"

Lu Xing continued to lie in bed, thinking about how to resolve the day's issues.

Unexpectedly, the head maid handed him a letter with both hands. A white rose was embedded at the seal of the envelope. "Miss Anne, as per your instructions, every morning when you wake up, I am to first hand you the letter you placed inside last night!"

"Oh?!"

Lu Xing's eyes lit up. How could he not understand? He quickly reached out to her. "Give it to me to see!"

Only then did he notice Anne's arms were slender and fair, her five fingers small and rosy, lovely and beautiful, just like Miss Anne herself.

The head maid looked at him deeply and said softly, "You should say, 'Please,' or 'Could you please hand it to me?' Or you could address me by my name."

Lu Xing was speechless. Why did the master here have to say "please" when instructing the maids?

As a noble young lady, etiquette was paramount. The last time he ate with the Duchess, who was Miss Anne's mother, Lu Xing was corrected twice.

Once was to pray to the goddess before and after eating; the other was to elegantly dab the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief after each sip of soup.

"You are not Anne."

The head maid uttered these words from her tightly pursed, rosy lips. She stood by the bed, her emerald green eyes staring intently at him.

Behind her was a line of maids carrying clothes, jewelry, and washing water.

If it were Anne, when she mentioned those manners, Miss Anne would cover her ears and not want to hear a single word.

Lu Xing was silent for a moment, then replied, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The head maid said nothing.

Lu Xing reached out again. "Give me the letter first."

If Anne didn't find a way to resolve his identity issue, he wouldn't be able to keep up the pretense!

Miss Anne, this noble young lady, had too many maids around her. This head maid, with her exquisite makeup and cold demeanor, served her closely.

Lu Xing trying to pull a fast one was harder than pretending to be an Intelligent Being in the virtual world!

After all, Anne was a lively and adorable noble young lady. For Lu Xing, a male university student, to wear a pink dress and skip around, pulling people's arms and acting spoiled, was more unbearable than killing him!

Fortunately, the head maid handed the letter to his fair and tender hand.

Even more fortunately, Lu Xing saw Anne's first sentence to him in the letter:

Mr. Lu Xing, hello. Under the guidance of the goddess, I have returned to the Northern Region. Through the goddess's revelation, I know you are not a bad person. It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lu Xing. My name is Anne.
