Huh?
They were holding hands just like that?
Lu Annuan's cheeks reddened slightly. She gave a soft huff but did not resist.
The athletic college student froze. "So you two are a couple!"
When Lu Ming reached the bus door, he asked Lu Annuan, "Did you delete the QQ account I made for you?"
"No, I still use it. It has three suns," Lu Annuan muttered quietly.
"Oh, good."
Childhood sweethearts, too?
The athletic college student's face turned green and red. He saw Lu Ming smile at him, and humiliation turned into rage because he could clearly see the mockery in Lu Ming's eyes.
Just as he was about to step forward and show this high schooler what an athlete was capable of, he suddenly realized his waist felt empty. Looking down, he found that his pants had somehow fallen down, exposing his underwear.
The bus was instantly filled with an atmosphere of joy.
The athletic college student was so embarrassed he wished he could disappear. His anger toward Lu Ming grew even stronger, but then he noticed his belt... seemed to have been torn apart, with fresh threads still sticking out from the break.
He froze.
What kind of strength did that take?
Was he even human?
Through the bus window, he saw Lu Ming smile at him and mouth the words: "Try hitting on girls again, and next time I'll tear off your neck."
The athletic college student broke out in a cold sweat. Were high school students here... all this terrifying?
"Why were you scaring him?" Lu Annuan had watched Lu Ming threaten the guy from start to finish, but she had not said anything until the bus drove away.
She was not an idiot. No matter what happened, she would definitely stand with Lu Ming. Besides, that annoying guy had come to hit on her. Between principle and friendship, she would always choose to protect her friend.
She actually... was a little selfish.
Lu Ming was far more important than anyone else.
"How was that scary?" Lu Ming said indifferently.
Lu Annuan looked him over, then suddenly put her hands behind her back and hummed. "I get it. You were unhappy because someone came to hit on me, right? You're just like a little kid!"
Lu Annuan had thought Lu Ming would deny it, but he unexpectedly nodded right away.
"Yeah. Seeing someone hit on you pissed me off," Lu Ming said.
Lu Annuan froze for several seconds. Her eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her lips lifted, and it felt as if a little deer were leaping about in her heart. "Oh," she said lightly.
She looked at Lu Ming's handsome profile and, after a pause, could not help saying, "I won't let other people hit on me."
No, I was supposed to be mad at Lu Ming. Why was I talking to him again?
Lu Annuan hurriedly shook her head and put on a cold expression. When she reached her school entrance, she saw Wei Lihui, who had been pursuing her. She had expected him to come talk to her again, but instead, he merely nodded and said, "I wish you two happiness."
Then he left.
Lu Annuan was dumbfounded.
Meng Xuan jogged over as well, smiling. "You didn't know? Your childhood sweetheart boyfriend won Wei Lihui over. Even that annoying guy got beaten into submission by someone his own age."
"When did Lu Ming... do that?" Lu Annuan was at a loss.
Meng Xuan pondered. "Maybe they went to the bathroom to compare sizes. Perhaps Lu Ming has an unprecedentedly enormous dragon."
Lu Annuan immediately thought of how Lu Ming had looked in her dream last night.
Ah, it really was huge.
"No, what are you talking about, you perverted woman?!" Lu Annuan suddenly came to her senses. Blushing, she tickled Meng Xuan's sides as they started fooling around.
She looked at Lu Ming, who was waiting for the bus back to his own school, and smiled happily.
It had been like this in the past, and it was still like this now. Lu Ming always helped her so much when she did not even know about it.
Hmph, she would not be mad at him this time.
She would make him something delicious tonight.
Back in the classroom, Lu Annuan took out her twenty-centimeter ruler during math class and suddenly realized that this length... seemed a little familiar.
This length was about the same as what she had seen in her dream.
Lu Annuan placed her finger at the seventeen-centimeter mark, frowned, then moved it up to the nineteen-centimeter mark.
"Is that right?" Lu Annuan muttered quietly.
"Annuan, what are you looking at so intently?" Meng Xuan, who sat behind her, asked curiously.
"Ah, it's nothing!"
Lu Annuan hurriedly replied. Then she suddenly remembered what Meng Xuan had said... an unprecedentedly enormous dragon.
It really was.
"...Mm." Lu Annuan buried her face in her arms, her cheeks burning red.
"Lu Annuan, why are you lying there? Get up and answer this question!" the already menopausal math teacher snapped.
"Okay, okay!"
Lu Ming rushed into the classroom with one minute to spare before being late and let out a huge sigh of relief. If he had been any later, Tang Zhiqing would definitely have gotten angry.
The moment he sat down, he heard a voice.
"Lu Ming, come out for a moment." Tang Zhiqing stood at the door. Her stunningly sculpted features made the boys in Class Two blush just from looking at her, and no one in all of Haiyang No. 2 Middle School could compare to her towering chest. Her expression was serious now.
Everyone looked at Lu Ming.
"President, I haven't done anything yet!" Lu Ming raised his hand.
"Just come out first!" Tang Zhiqing crossed her arms, making her chest look even fuller. "The principal wants to see you."
Lu Annuan's Mother's Death Anniversary
"What did you do for the principal to summon you?" Li Deng, who sat behind him, asked in surprise.
"Even when people fought outside school before, it never reached the principal, right?"
"Is he going to get expelled?"
The class buzzed with discussion, all thinking Lu Ming was in serious trouble.
But the problem was, Lu Ming did not even know what he had done.
"Have you finally embarked on the path of crime?" Ran Yanyue looked at Lu Ming and sighed softly.
"Committee Chair Ran, we should stick to the facts. I haven't done anything yet. Other than occasionally enjoying eating a few people raw, I haven't committed any crimes at all," Lu Ming said. He was a little confused himself.
You're a monster, aren't you?
Black Myth: Lu Ming.
Ran Yanyue was utterly speechless. She waved a hand and said, "Hurry up to the guillotine. Just don't splash blood on me."
In her pursuit of becoming the top student in the grade, Ran Yanyue had long since lost her humanity. She could even say something that heartless.
No, perhaps capitalism had corrupted her heart.
"If you've been wronged, come find me when you get back. I'm the class study committee member, so I won't let you suffer unfairly," Ran Yanyue added.
"Would that really help?" Lu Ming asked curiously.
Ran Yanyue glanced at him. "My family holds a seat on the school board."
The surrounding students looked at Ran Yanyue with noticeably more respect.
As expected of a rich family's young lady.
"So, you, madam of vast powers, can make a call from a thousand miles away to the principal's office at the front lines?" Lu Ming said.
Did Ran Yanyue... want to be my mom?
That wouldn't work.
I already have a mom.
I don't need another one.
Ran Yanyue said mercilessly, "That's assuming you haven't done anything bad."
Lu Ming walked out with Tang Zhiqing and asked, "Zhi Qing, what's going on?"
"I told you to call me President when we're discussing serious business," Tang Zhiqing said. "First, ask yourself whether you have any idea why."
"Psychological warfare is my specialty," Lu Ming thought for a moment. "Last month, our class had a friendly match with Cao Guang, and we elbowed him a few times together."
Tang Zhiqing stopped walking and turned to stare at Lu Ming in disbelief. She sighed. "The sports culture at our school really does need reforming."
"Exactly. Cao Guang knocked over several people too. What an animal," Lu Ming cursed.
Tang Zhiqing was already considering whether the school needed a basketball club.
By then, the two had reached the school gate. Lu Ming saw the neatly dressed, refined-looking principal, along with a parent and a child beside him.
This child... looked familiar.
Xiao Yan!
No, it was the child I saved before.
Why do I always cast myself as the Soul Hall?
When Lu Ming saw the principal looking at him with a satisfied smile, he immediately understood everything. Still, the formalities had to be observed, so he asked in confusion, "Principal, what is this?"
"We came to deliver a banner. Thank you for saving our daughter yesterday," the parent said, gripping Lu Ming's hand tightly.
"Helping others is what I should do," Lu Ming said.
The parent shook his head. "A few days ago, there was a case in another province where someone saved a person and the family extorted money from them afterward. I don't believe you haven't heard about it. With courage like yours, I can't let you go unrewarded. Please have your school accept this banner."
"Haiyang No. 2 Middle School, exemplary in educating its students."
Exemplary in educating its sons?
So all those teachers were my dads?
Oh, oh, it meant students.
I almost misunderstood.
Lu Ming accepted it. Beside him, the principal smiled warmly, waiting for Lu Ming to hand him the banner. A student saving someone was a major highlight on his record!
But Lu Ming turned around and handed the banner to Tang Zhiqing. "President, please inspect it."
"?" The principal.
"Mm." Tang Zhiqing nodded in satisfaction as well. She picked up the banner, examined it, then handed it to the principal.
Only after a three-second delay did the principal's smile finally appear.
The parent then pulled Lu Ming aside and poked him with something stiff.
Lu Ming looked down and hurriedly said, "Please take this back!"
It was a red envelope.
And a very thick one, definitely containing ten or twenty thousand yuan.
Lu Ming really wanted a new phone, but he had never planned to get one this way. He wanted to earn it through his own sweat and hard work.
Tang Zhiqing noticed it too. "Sir, we're still students, so it really wouldn't be appropriate for us to accept money."
Yeah, yeah, exchange it for gold instead. That holds value.
No, what the hell am I saying?
The parent thought for a moment, then sighed. "All right, then let's add each other on WeChat. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
That... worked too.
