Thanks to Zhang Yue's active promotion, the three of them successfully exchanged contact information.

Song Junzhu said with a somewhat superior air, "I hope you get what you wish for."

She was just like that, looking down on everyone.

Chi Yueshan had no intention to care about this right now. She sighed deeply, stared blankly at the stage, and said distractedly.

"I hope so..."

"But he must have been hurt by me. He doesn't even want to see me."

Song Junzhu was a little surprised.

She looked at Chi Yueshan's appearance. She didn't seem like that kind of malicious person.

How could she have hurt someone so badly that they ran away?

For some reason, Song Junzhu became a little interested and guessed, "You dumped him, and now you regret it?"

Chi Yueshan choked for a moment.

She hadn't expected this woman Song Junzhu to be so direct. And why did her tone feel a little like she was gloating?

She doesn't give any face at all!

Chi Yueshan felt terrible in her heart, but she couldn't say anything to deny it. She could only nod.

"I played him."

Song Junzhu nodded with understanding. In her mind, she unconsciously compared Chi Yueshan's man with Lu Xing.

Mm.

Lu Xing is still better. Sweet, good-tempered, and understanding.

But showing off in front of a miserable person was really lacking in grace, so Song Junzhu could only say.

"If you still like him, just explain things clearly."

Zhang Yue was dumbfounded.

No, sis, you've never even been in a damn relationship. What are you doing here pretending to be a love master? 

(TL: Maybe the fiancee was arranged or something and doesn't count)

Just like a university armchair strategist.

Never been in a relationship herself, but diligently adding bricks and tiles to her roommate's love life?

Zhang Yue didn't think Song Junzhu's words had any constructive meaning at all.

How could anyone believe it?

"Really?"

Chi Yueshan was panicking.

She was even more panicked after hearing that there was a woman by Lu Xing's side, so she urgently needed some words of comfort and encouragement right now.

Zhang Yue: ...

It's over.

Two love idiots have gathered together.

Song Junzhu thought of Lu Xing's good-tempered nature and nodded solemnly.

"I think so."

"As long as you haven't made a mistake of principle, like cheating, other small mistakes can be explained."

At least, Lu Xing is like that.

Chi Yueshan saw the unstoppable, happy smile in Song Junzhu's eyes and couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart.

Sigh.

It seems everyone is quite happy. Only she can't even find where Lu Xing has gone.

Glancing at the slightly upturned corners of Song Junzhu's mouth, Chi Yueshan really couldn't imagine...

What kind of person could conquer someone like Song Junzhu?

Ding ding dang dang, the performance begins.

"Bravo!"

"That aria is awesome!"

The actors on stage sang, chanted, acted, and performed acrobatics. Their honed skills made the audience applaud and cheer!

Let alone Zhang Yue...

Even Song Junzhu, who didn't like to watch opera, was captivated.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the opera actors on stage.

Only Chi Yueshan...

Only Chi Yueshan was absent-mindedly wondering where on earth Lu Xing had gone.

Ding—

A message came in.

Chi Yueshan looked down. It was a message from the theater staff.

【Miss Chi, we've found him. He's in a private box on the second floor. Look up and back.】

Swish!

Without thinking, Chi Yueshan abruptly turned her head and looked towards the private box on the second floor.

"Holy f*ck!"

Lu Xing was leaning on the railing, still cheering for the old female role's golden voice, when he suddenly saw a familiar person!

Chi Yueshan!

Seeing a ghost in broad daylight!

Why is Chi Yueshan here!

Lu Xing was in disbelief.

To avoid this situation, he had even specifically checked the list of performers this time.

Chi Yueshan clearly wasn't on it! Nor were any of her teachers!

Noticing that Chi Yueshan's gaze had fallen on Nannan in his arms, Lu Xing jolted. He quickly put Nannan down and said, feigning composure.

"Nannan, be good. Go inside and pick the most beautiful orange for Daddy to eat, okay?"

"Yay! Nannan will definitely pick the most beautiful orange for Daddy!" Nannan toddled off on her short little legs and began to rummage through the fruit platter.

A chill went down Lu Xing's back. He subconsciously glanced inside the private box.

Wen Lingxiu was making tea at the table, occasionally looking at Nannan, who was picking out fruit, with a smile. She said softly, "Slow down."

Her hands were very beautiful. Holding the white jade teacup, they were even more gentle and moist than the cup itself.

A few strands of stray hair fell by her ear. Under the light of the private box, it cast a soft side profile.

Noticing that Lu Xing was looking at her, Wen Lingxiu looked up and asked gently.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Teacher! Teach me how to make tea! You look so beautiful when you make tea!"

Lu Xing had a look of admiration, his fingers clenched tightly behind his back, his tone cheerful as he spoke.

Wen Lingxiu was taken aback for a moment, then she laughed and said teasingly,

"Other people learn to make tea so the tea tastes good. You learn to make tea so it looks good?"

"Come here."

Lu Xing came over reluctantly and complained, "But you really do look very beautiful when you make tea."

Wen Lingxiu's smile became even softer and more charming. She poured Lu Xing a cup of tea and, with a rare playful twinkle, blinked her eyes at him.

"Then is there a possibility that it's not that the tea-making is beautiful, but...

that I'm beautiful?"

Lu Xing held his breath. The oxygen in his lungs was rapidly consumed, and his face gradually turned red.

Heh.

Who says physiological reactions can't be controlled?

Seeing Lu Xing's face flush red with shyness, Wen Lingxiu propped up her chin and looked at him teasingly.

"Oh~~ so our omnipotent little Xing-Xing can also be shy?"

"Don't, don't say it."

Lu Xing didn't dare to look at her. He lowered his head in a panic, but his eyes were as calm as usual.

Satisfying the client's needs is an essential professional quality for a professional simp.

Everything Wen Lingxiu is doing now is just to make this pure and innocent little boy fall in love with her.

So easy.

Never seen such a simple task!

Heaven and earth are big, but satisfying the client's emotional value is the biggest.

Then just act. One act and they'll be speechless!

Seeing that Lu Xing's face was about to spontaneously combust, Wen Lingxiu was in an excellent mood.

It seems...

Lu Xing still has strong feelings for her.

Not bad, the progress of her emotional cultivation has taken another step forward.

Wen Lingxiu thought to herself: I should take Lu Xing out for a stroll more often in the future.

Knock, knock, knock.

A knock on the door of the private box.

Lu Xing's heart was about to leap out. The look he had exchanged with Chi Yueshan just now, he still hadn't forgotten it.

Fuck!

It must be that black-bellied Chi Yueshan causing trouble! I'm never coming to this stupid theater again!

Lu Xing put on a smile. "I'll get the door."

Click.

The door of the private box opened. A waiter stood at the entrance, exchanged a few words with Lu Xing, and then left.

"What did he say?"

Lu Xing picked up the coat on the sofa, put it on, and said naturally.

"They said that during the recent 'Famous Artists' series, every private box gets a gift, but you have to draw for it. I thought I'd go try my luck."

Wen Lingxiu didn't really want Lu Xing to leave.

Sensing her mood, Lu Xing said with embarrassment.

"I want to commemorate it. This is the first time we've come out to watch a performance together. I'm a little happy." 

(TL: Bro save some for the rest of us.)

Wen Lingxiu was stunned. Her eyes suddenly stung.

For some reason, hearing Lu Xing's cheerful tone, she felt a little upset.

Before, she had always taken from Lu Xing.

Although Lu Xing himself was just a child, he had to play the role of Nannan's father.

Wasn't this a kind of cruelty to Lu Xing?

And now–

A sincere and gentle heart was placed right in front of her.

She suddenly felt a sense of shame.

Wen Lingxiu lowered her head, suppressing the mixed feelings, and slowly nodded.

"Okay."

Click.

The door opened and closed. Wen Lingxiu held Nannan in her arms and muttered to herself.

"Does Nannan like Daddy?"

Nannan nodded heavily.

"I do!"

Then how about we let Daddy be Nannan's daddy forever?

...

"What else did Boss Chi say?"

Lu Xing smiled at the waiter and even helped him steady his tray.

The waiter was surprised by Lu Xing's action.

Although it was the job of service staff to serve guests...

Everyone is not a robot; everyone has a heart.

The waiter was silent for a moment and said.

"Miss Chi said, if you don't come out with the excuse of drawing for a gift..."

"She told me to say..."

The waiter choked, finding it hard to say.

"Lu Xing, you wouldn't want the matter of you starting something and then abandoning it to be known by that little girl, would you?"

...
