Lu Mingyu’s pupils widened in disbelief. “What? Dad, you want us to curry favor with the Huo family?”

“Nonsense!” Lu Chen said sternly. “Yangyang don’t need to please anyone. As for you, go pick up trash under the bridge!”

Lu Mingyu was speechless.

Lu Yang knew they wanted to compensate for the years of neglect, so she sat beside them with a lively expression, a smile on her face that was as bright as the summer sun.

Lu Chen and Ning Qingyun had two different faces at home and outside.

Outside, they carefully maneuvered among various powerful figures.

Inside, they were relaxed and happy, with love and fun in their interactions.

After chatting and eating at home, as the night grew late, Lu Yang went to her room to take a shower and get ready for bed.

She lay on her stomach on the bed, propping herself up with her elbows and messaging Pei Yiwu.

Pei Yiwu texted: “I’ve found a shocking gossip!”

Lu Yang answered: “What gossip?”

Pei Yiwu went on: “Guess where I ran into Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng today?”

Lu Yang asked: “Where?”

Pei Yiwu elaborated: “At the hotel entrance! They both looked disheveled, and

Lin Xinmeng had strawberry hickeys on her!”

Lu Yang texted: “… Thanks, I’ve decided not to eat strawberry cake for the next three days.”

Pei Yiwu was confused.

Pei Yiwu asked: “Isn’t the point that they did something unspeakable?”

Lu Yang quickly typed: “Isn’t the point that you went to the hotel?”

Pei Yiwu was swinging in her garden when she saw the message. She stopped and wondered if she was being teased again.

Ah, why was Lu Yang so concerned about her!

Lu Yang looked at her phone and saw another message.

It was from Jiang Yanzhou.

He asked if she was available to talk on the phone now.

After a moment of silence, she replied that she was available.

Not two seconds after she replied, he called.

Jiang Yanzhou’s pleasant voice came through the receiver. “I’m doing much better.”

Lu Yang turned over and sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the penguin pillow in her arms, and replied, “I didn’t ask about your injuries.”

He chuckled. “But I wanted to tell you.”

She held her phone with one hand and pinched the penguin doll’s foot with the other. She changed the subject naturally. “Did you give the hat to Xiaoshi?”

‘Yes, 1 did.”

“Thank you, I’ll treat you to a meal someday.”

“I don’t feel like eating.” “What do you want then?”

“I want you to be my girlfriend.”

Jiang Yanzhou’s voice seemed to travel through the internet and air, landing directly in her ear. Lu Yang paused, and the cells in her body stirred, sending out dangerous signals.

“It’s late at night, and it’s easy to get emotional. You might regret it tomorrow.” She licked her dry lips and took two deep breaths. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. ”

He said, “My feelings for you aren’t just a whim.”

She intentionally changed the subject, “Desserts can cause the brain to release dopamine, which can improve our mood. Generally speaking, love is just an illusion created by dopamine.”

“Can we talk about something else for now?” Jiang Yanzhou suddenly interrupted.

She thought he had something important to deal with, so she was about to say she wouldn’t disturb him, but then she heard him say, “Confessing your feelings should be done face to face.”

Lu Yang choked on her words. “I wasn’t trying to confess to you.”

Jiang Yanzhou said, “I was confessing to you.”

Lu Yang’s heart skipped a beat, but she tried to stay calm and said, “You don’t have to.”

Jiang Yanzhou smiled wryly, “Then I’ll wait for you to confess to me.” Lu Yang remained silent.

She just wanted to tell him that love might be an illusion, but now they were back to the awkward topic.

Lu Yang asked, “Are you always this direct with other people?”

It was a straightforward expression of interest, a clear confession. He didn’t answer her question and suddenly said, “Wait for me.”

After saying that, he fell silent. Just then, a call came in, so she hung up.

When she answered the phone, Pei Yiwu asked eagerly, “Hey, Lu Yang, did you know that Jiang Yanzhou isn’t participating in the upcoming episodes of the show?”

“Now I know,” Lu Yang replied thoughtfully.

She probably understood why he had decided not to continue with the show.

Pei Yiwu sighed, “That’s too bad. I think a lot of people were looking forward to seeing him on the show again.”

“He probably has his own considerations,” Lu Yang said, “but it’s a shame for a lot of people.”

Pei Yiwu asked in surprise, “What considerations?”

“I don’t really know,” Lu Yang shrugged and played with her fingers, “but I think he’s the kind of person who is focused on acting and doesn’t need the kind of attention that comes from being on a variety show.”

Pei Yiwu agreed. “Yeah, that makes sense. ”

In fact, survival shows weren’t really that interesting or fun to watch. What was important was to live and survive.

Pei Yiwu continued, “But have you heard about Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moye secretly being together, like what the marketing accounts are saying?” “Why are you so interested in gossip?” Lu Yang laughed.

“I’m just curious, but I’m also quite curious. I heard that you and Lin Xinmeng were from the same high school, and you didn’t have a good relationship, did you?”

“It’s average.”

“Just average?”

Lu Yang recalled her high school life and said slowly, “I was pretty lazy and carefree, and I don’t remember much about Lin Xinmeng. I just remember that she was a pretty nice girl.”

However, jealousy had blinded her, and she relied too much on her connections.

Pei Yiwu’s eyes turned, surprised, “Her reputation is that good?”

“Uh-huh.”

Pei Yiwu looked at a stack of documents and hesitated to ask, “Didn’t she often report on you?”

The information read: Lin Xinmeng, a student from Class Seven of the Second High School, reported in her real name that her classmate, Lu Yang, participated in fights outside of school and caused Lu Yang to read a review report in front of the entire school on Monday.

Lin Xinmeng anonymously reported that Lu Yang and Jin Yao, a school bully from First High School, were in a relationship, causing Lu Yang to be criticized and punished.

Lu Yang played down the matter and said, “Did that happen?”

Pei Yiwu was at loss for words.

The party involved had forgotten all about it, and she really didn’t expect it.

However, as she flipped through the files, Pei Yiwu suddenly understood.

After Lu Yang finished reading the review report on Monday as instructed by the head teacher, the vice principal and principal took turns praising Lu Yang.

After criticizing and punishing her for having a relationship, they put Lu Yang on the honor student list and awarded her various commendations such as the red paper, etc.

Dramatic suppression followed by promotion, who would remember the previous incident?

“But…’

Lu Yang smiled mischievously, and her eyes reflected a sharp glint. “How do you know so much about my affairs?”

Pei Yiwu choked and was caught off guard. She pondered and said, “1 saw it online. ”

Lu Yang stated, “I have a new phone. I’ll hang up first and talk to you later.”

After hanging up the phone, Pei Yiwu pressed her phone against her chest, and her heart couldn’t stop beating with anxiety.

Lu Yang seemed to know that she was using the gossip between Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moli to ask her about her attitude towards Lin Xinmeng.

Aye.

Talking to Lu Yang was really easy and exciting.

The night was just right, and the moonlight overflowed.

Lu Yang looked at the chat box with Jiang Yanzhou, and the latest message on it was: “I’m at your door.”

She was stunned.

Lu Yang’s room was in a different direction from Ning Qingyun and Lu Mingyu’s rooms, and her balcony offered a better view of the scenery, including the front gate.

Lu Yang got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. She opened it, and the bright moonlight spilled over her face. She looked around and indeed saw a car.

She knew the car. Last time, Jiang Yanzhou came to the bar to pick her up, and he was driving these two cars.

“Why did he come over?”

Since he was already downstairs, she couldn’t call him back.

Lu Yang walked to the door, but before she got close, she saw Jiang Yanzhou propped up on his shoulder against the car. His back was straight, and he was leaning against the car diagonally.

She stopped in front of him, and he straightened up.

Jiang Yanzhou looked at her, his thin lips curved slightly, and the soft light in his eyes flowed.

“I’m here,” he said.

For a moment, Lu Yang was distracted. She felt uneasy under his gaze, but she still forced herself to remain calm and met his gaze. “Is there something you need?” she asked.

“For you,” Jiang Yanzhou replied, holding an envelope between his slender fingers.

Lu Yang looked at him with confusion. “What is this?” she asked.

“A love letter.” He explained with a warm smile, “A subtle way of expressing my feelings for you.”

Lu Yang’s heart skipped a beat. “A love letter?” she repeated.

“I’m only direct with you, and I’m only subtle with you,” Jiang Yanzhou said, looking at her with gentle eyes. “I’m pursuing you step by step, so you can give me your answer little by little..”
