HPDBC Chapter 19 Xu Ziqing's Smile
Chapter 19 Xu Ziqing's Smile
I'm lying to your baby. Eating cold noodles is fake, and starving to death is also fake.
Lu Zhaoye was simply afraid that if Luo Xiao caught him, no one would be there to accompany him to the underworld.
Arriving at the shop where he had bought egg pancakes on Saturday, Lu Zhaoye bought two premium roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).
Lu Zhaoye had already spoken with Xu Ziqing at noon and learned that she would wait for ten minutes longer in the small room every evening after school.
At that time, there were hardly any people in the school building, so she didn't have to worry about bumping into classmates on her way home.
Moreover, Lu Zhaoye and she had arranged to meet again tonight.
During the day, Fatty told me that Su Cheng came to their class looking for Wen Ningning, and Fatty vaguely overheard them talking about him.
Lu Zhaoye was worried that these two people would be detrimental to him.
After all, Wen Ningning knew about how he had bullied Xu Ziqing.
Although the person involved has already forgiven him.
But he had already clashed with her in English class today, and Wen Ningning was very likely to retaliate against him.
Therefore, he must align the granularity with Xu Ziqing.
If they really bully him, he won't hesitate, lest the wildfire keep burning and springing up again.
After Lu Zhaoye slowly finished eating a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), he saw Xu Ziqing hurriedly walking over with a white cane.
Lu Zhaoye went up to the girl and walked alongside her, smiling as he spoke.
"Why are you walking so fast? Have you had dinner yet?"
Xu Ziqing was startled when she heard the voice, but then immediately felt much calmer after realizing it was her older brother.
"Big...Big brother, I've already eaten..."
Lu Zhaoye smiled, a slight upturn to his lips.
Baby, you lied to me again. You definitely didn't eat it.
He handed over a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).
"Hey, do me a favor, otherwise it'll be a waste."
"Big brother, I can't keep eating your food."
This time, Xu Ziqing did not accept.
She had already eaten a lot of Lu Zhaoye's food; her mother had taught her not to be greedy.
"I'm already very grateful that you bought me a white cane. You don't need to do anything more for me."
Xu Ziqing reached out and pushed the steaming hot roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) out, her face full of sincerity.
Lu Zhaoye sighed helplessly; he knew this would happen.
"This isn't my treat; it's my underling's way of making it up to you."
"I have indeed made amends, but my little brother hasn't made amends to you yet."
Xu Ziqing was stunned, not expecting Lu Zhaoye to have a new explanation.
The little boy lowered his head thoughtfully, trying to find a way to talk back to the eloquent boy in front of him.
"My underlings said that if I can't get this roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) to you, they won't recognize me as their big brother anymore. Sigh."
Lu Zhaoye continued to deceive, pretending to be very distressed, and then glanced at Xu Ziqing, whose brain had completely shut down.
The girl was tall, about 168 cm, and she looked the same as when we first met.
Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her face occasionally flashed with expressions of struggle and relief, making her look quite adorable.
However, just as Lu Zhaoye was carefully appreciating the beauty...
He suddenly noticed that there seemed to be someone following behind Xu Ziqing.
He was about 1.7 meters tall and was a boy, but he was too far away to see his face clearly.
When they stopped, the boy also stopped, as if waiting for something.
Lu Zhaoye's smile froze, and his brows furrowed tightly.
I never expected that the little rabbit next to me would be targeted.
However, we still need to test whether this person is really following them.
"Xu Ziqing, just eat it. They'll be coming to apologize to you tomorrow night. If they find out you didn't eat, they definitely won't dare to come."
While continuing his deception, Lu Zhaoye pondered a countermeasure in his mind.
But before that, he had to take Xu Ziqing home.
If he can't win, he can run away immediately.
"Okay...okay, big brother, could you please stop them from coming over? I...I'm scared."
After a mental struggle, Xu Ziqing finally accepted the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) from Lu Zhaoye.
"Just tell them I've forgiven them and they don't need to come, okay?"
"Wow!" is an interjection used by the silly rabbit, so cute!
No way! What rabbit and duck head nonsense! I'm a Sigma man!
Lu Zhaoye shook off the improper thoughts in his mind. Xu Ziqing, you're not going to loosen the seal that makes me a simp!
"No, I already promised them. Do you want to make the boss break his promise to his underlings?"
The threat remains: Rabbit, just give in.
Xu Ziqing's brain went blank again.
Since losing her sight, she has rarely had contact with people.
She had long since stopped communicating with her classmates, let alone someone like Lu Zhaoye...
Looking at the girl's conflicted expression, Lu Zhaoye felt a pang of pity.
"How about this, I'll have them stand far away and apologize to you, okay?"
Xu Ziqing thought for a moment, "Then...big brother, could you stand next to me?"
Lu Zhaoye smiled and nodded, then quickly added something else when he realized the girl couldn't see him.
"Okay, I'll stand right next to you."
My dear Qingqing, you can't imagine how happy I am right now.
I'll say it again: I'm no longer a simp, don't even think about hooking me up!
"Big brother, you should eat too."
Xu Ziqing broke the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in her hand in half and handed over the larger one.
Lu Zhaoye was stunned. "Baby, you're hooking me? I'm willing!"
He didn't refuse; he had just eaten a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and wasn't full yet.
"Xu Ziqing, I need to ask you something. Don't panic, let me finish."
Lu Zhaoye gave her a heads-up beforehand to avoid upsetting the girl.
He had just confirmed whether the person behind them was indeed following them.
The answer is yes.
The person behind them saw them set off and immediately followed.
"..."
"Mmm." Xu Ziqing nodded obediently.
"It's like this, I did some stupid things before. I didn't mean to bully you. It was a girl who instigated me to bring people to bully you."
Lu Zhaoye frankly said that such things cannot be kept secret forever, and Xu Ziqing would find out sooner or later.
"I know."
"?"
Lu Zhaoye was stunned. Logically speaking, Xu Ziqing shouldn't know this.
"Su Cheng came to see me today, but... Boss, he came by himself."
Xu Ziqing explained, her tone somewhat hurried.
"Oh?"
Lu Zhaoye asked, somewhat puzzled, "What did he say to you?"
"I originally wanted to kick him out, but he wouldn't leave, so I had no choice," Xu Ziqing explained.
Lu Zhaoye chuckled, patted the girl on the shoulder, and offered a word of comfort.
"Oh, it's okay. It's your freedom to associate with whomever you want. I won't bully you just because he's with you. Don't worry. What did he say to you?"
Lu Zhaoye was stunned when he saw Xu Ziqing, thinking that his comforting words had worked.
He remembered that when he first transmigrated, Chen Ziniu warned the girl not to get close to Su Cheng.
Did he tell you that I'm a wicked and utterly evil child?
Lu Zhaoye tried to guess why Xu Ziqing suddenly lowered her head, looking dejected.
"Mmm," Xu Ziqing nodded and mumbled, taking small bites of the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).
Lu Zhaoye was amused. He had no grudge against Su Cheng, but he didn't expect him to try to sabotage him.
Judging from his appearance, this kid isn't exactly a good person either.
What an aura of an emperor, what a prodigy!
I'm the chosen one from another era, screw you.
"But...Big brother, I think you're a really good person..."
Xu Ziqing raised her head, a faint tear glistening in the corner of her eye, and looked at Lu Zhaoye earnestly.
"If he comes again, I'll say..."
"Lu Zhaoye is my older brother!"
Lu Zhaoye's mouth opened slightly as he stared at the girl who was smiling happily, and he was stunned.
Xu Ziqing smiled, a very happy smile, and this time Lu Zhaoye saw it clearly.
