A Childhood Friend's Confession

Don't bite, I'm scared.

Lu Ming watched Lu Annuan's slender figure from behind.

Lu Annuan, easily won over!

Lu Ming sat down, but when she glanced at me with a flushed face a few times, my heart almost exploded.

Lu Annuan seems to be getting more and more charming.

"There are so many experts today."

"Several contestants were close to perfect scores; I can't even imagine how much pressure the last contestant was under."

"Who was the last one? It was Lu Annuan."

"My little princess in figure skating, your form hasn't been great in recent competitions. You only got a silver medal in Magic City."

The audience included many highly professional viewers, especially those who had been screened at the gates of International Middle School, and their opinions of Lu Annuan were somewhat negative.

Lu Annuan is not lacking in strength, but her performance fluctuated greatly in the past two years. When she was in good form, she could go straight for the championship, but when she was in bad form, she couldn't even get third place. She is a very unpredictable player.

It's only been a little over a month since the Magic City competition, making it hard to believe that Lu Annuan has already recovered to her full potential.

Lu Ming also watching from the audience, chatting with the audience members next to him.

"I've never seen you before. Who do you think will win today? I think Tang Jie has the makings of a champion."

"I choose Lu Annuan."

Lu Ming.

"Oh? Do you have any professional insights?"

"Oh no, I just wanted to touch my mouth."

Lu Ming.

"?"

The final figure skating match began, and the audience stopped chatting and focused on the competition. The moment Lu Annuan appeared, everyone fell silent, surprised to find that Lu Annuan was in excellent form!

Her beautiful face exuded a calm confidence.

Professional athletes have all had this experience: being able to perform at 120% of their potential when fully focused. That's the Zone.

Lu Annuan is in excellent condition today!

Then she started dancing on the ice.

"Triple-Triple Jump, is that all it takes to be that fierce right from the start?"

"Want to try the 4T? And you actually did it!"

The audience gasped in amazement, while the players wore expressions of despair.

After Lu Annuan finished her performance, she bowed slightly to the audience, looked up at Lu Ming, winked playfully, and silently uttered a sentence.

'Don't try to cheat me, you idiot Lu Ming.'

After the competition, Coach Jiang went backstage and patted Lu Annuan on the shoulder forcefully.

"I knew you could do it. If you're not the first one, I'll smash the referee's head in."

Coach Jiang said excitedly.

"It's all thanks to the coach."

Lu Annuan chuckled.

"I wouldn't dare steal the credit. You only performed so well today because Lu Ming was here, right?"

Coach Jiang was in a good mood today, and a smile appeared on his serious face.

Lu Annuan smiled but remained silent.

Coach Jiang suddenly looked at Lu Annuan again, paused for a moment, and said, "I remember you two live next door, and your parents don't live here, right?"

If two people have such a good relationship and often visit each other, isn't that practically the same as living together?

Lu Annuan panicked for a moment and quickly waved her hand. "Coach, I'll pay attention to practicing..."

Coach Jiang isn't planning to break her up with Lu Ming, is he?

I don't want that kind of thing.

Coach Jiang pursed his lips and looked at Lu Annuan seriously, saying, "Tell me the truth, did you and Lu Ming... sleep together?"

"Ah?"

Lu Annuan was stunned.

What are you doing?

I won't let him do it!

I just wanted to touch his mouth; I wouldn't let Lu Ming do anything else!

Coach Jiang sighed, "I know it's hard for two young people who like each other to live together, but... at least don't get pregnant during your career, and remember to wear a condom more often."

"Coach, you've misunderstood. We're not in that kind of relationship yet!"

Lu Annuan blushed.

"Um?"

Coach Jiang looked at Lu Annuan in surprise, then smiled and said, "It seems Lu Ming really is a good guy."

She was right about Lu Ming.

"It was bound to happen sooner or later, no matter what. Judging from the way you two are together, if you weren't under the legal marriage age, the Civil Affairs Bureau would be coming to you on its own... Remember to make sure Lu Ming wears an umbrella, and try to persuade him if he doesn't want to."

Coach Jiang continued earnestly.

Lu Annuan has a long figure skating career ahead of her.

You absolutely mustn't get pregnant on a whim. Wouldn't it be perfect to retire in your twenties, get married, and have children—a complete one-stop solution?

Lu Annuan blushed and waved her hands, trying to deny something, but her movements became slower and slower, almost like her left and right hands moving in slow motion. In the end, she didn't deny anything.

She rubbed her thumb awkwardly, blushed, and nodded gently. "I know, Lu Ming cares about me a lot."

Coach Jiang also trusts Lu Ming. After all, the fact that he hasn't made a move against Lu Annuan yet proves that he is trustworthy. He's just worried that the two young people might get carried away.

"On another note, after watching your competition today, Lu Ming, do you have any further interest in figure skating...?"

Coach Jiang said excitedly again.

"Ah? This... I'll go ask him later!"

Lu Ming saw Lu Annuan at the entrance of the lounge. She was startled to see Lu Ming, and her cheeks flushed as if she had thought of something.

"Come on, you must be hungry after the competition, let's go get something to eat."

Lu Ming said.

"Okay, okay."

Lu Annuan nodded and walked beside Lu Ming as if nothing had happened.

Why is your face so red?

Lu Ming it strange.

"... full of energy."

Lu Annuan turned her head away, "Let's not talk about it anymore. I'll treat you to lunch at our school cafeteria!"

Perfect, let's try out the rogue ninja's cafeteria.

Lu Ming fell silent upon seeing the bright and shiny cafeteria.

Our Konoha No. 2 Middle School is indeed a bit inferior compared to International Middle School.

Just as Lu Ming walked in, he suddenly felt something strange and, after thinking for a moment, asked the nearby surveillance cameras.

"Oh, it's nothing, just that a very powerful Evil Beast infiltrated the area, it didn't die."

"Lu Ming, what are you spacing out for?"

Lu Annuan stopped and looked at Lu Ming, who was lost in thought.

"It's nothing, I just think your school cafeteria is a bit run-down, not as nice and high-class as our Haiyang No. 2 Middle School's cafeteria."

Lu Ming.

"Your cafeteria now has automated food delivery robots too?"

What kind of automated robots? Is this a school or a five-star hotel?

Isn't it a waste to spend so much money on students?

School leaders, hurry up and try to get a little more money!

"No, we use bio-intelligence for food delivery, which is a bit more advanced than your robots. I prefer the Li Deng model; it's a bit clumsy, but I'm used to it."

Lu Ming scratched his head and laughed it off.

You city folks are so arrogant! You must eat with a gold spoon.

We country folk from Haiyang No. 2 Middle School don't understand.

Lu Annuan generously took out her meal card and handed it to Lu Ming: "Order whatever you want, don't be shy with me."

It gives me a sense of déjà vu—a rich young woman reaching out her hand for a bank card.

Entering the dining hall, Lu Ming didn't stand on ceremony with Lu Annuan. The two ordered a few dishes and rice and sat down to eat together.

"I'll transfer the money to you later."

Lu Ming.

Lu Annuan looked at him and smiled, "Why are we being so polite... I was just thinking that we don't need that much money normally, so why don't we just put it in the bank for a fixed deposit and get interest? If we put it together, we'll get even more. We'll have more money when we get to university."

Lu Annuan bit her chopsticks, her expression serious as she considered the future.

Hey, you know what?

We're not middle-class; on our days off, we might go out for food and entertainment, but it won't cost us much money.

And even if you really need an emergency, there's always Old Deng's side where you can get tons of gold coins.

"Okay."

Lu Ming.

Which bank card should I deposit the money into?

It's said that letting women control the family finances is a major taboo these days.

--Those who manage the household finances and believe they are good at making money are 95% women.

Lu Annuan, you're not going to repeat the mistakes of human society, are you?

Lu Annuan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's deposit it all into your bank card. We can withdraw it together when we get to university. Anyway, we don't need to be so particular about the details."

She also had a lot of prize money from competitions, which added up to almost eight figures. Lu Ming's bravery award was just a drop in the ocean. They put it all into the couple's... childhood sweethearts account and would use it later.

Although he could ask his father for money... Lu Annuan thought of what Coach Jiang had said before, and felt that if Lu Ming wanted to buy an umbrella, he would definitely have to pay for it himself and not spend his father's money. Therefore, Lu Annuan had to save some money for Lu Ming now.

No, no, no, that's not right!!!

I only touched Lu Ming's lips; I didn't say it had to go that far.

Lu Annuan chewed on her chopsticks, looking at Lu Ming beside her as if nothing was wrong.
