Chapter 45: The Tea Art Master with Zero Points [4K]
Although Luxianbei repeatedly assured that she would not recklessly conduct the merger of Ling Tai Purification and the God Realm, Jumeng still nagged in her ear for quite a while.
It took a bit of persuasion to convince Jumeng to stay in the apartment and not accompany her to school. Who behaves like that in school?
As the morning light began to appear in the sky outside the window, Luxianbei no longer lingered, put on her coat, and quickly climbed to the rooftop of the apartment.
When she stepped onto the rooftop, a slightly humid breeze brushed the tips of her hair, and the bright morning light poured down through the gaps in the clouds. The timing was just right.
“Coat, hide for a moment.”
Luxianbei whispered to her coat, and with a “whoosh,” the coat flew aside. She stepped forward, allowing the morning sun to cast a faint golden hue on her smooth, mirror-like skin.
Suddenly, a bright glare struck.
In that moment, her skin, like a delicate body, seemed to melt in the sunlight—
After basking in the morning sun, Luxianbei hopped on her beloved little motorcycle, went to Huacheng University, and arrived early at the teaching building, neatly parking her little motorcycle in the parking shed.
Zhipianxian, who was taking her classes, was in big trouble and was trapped in the God Realm Prototype. Until Zhang Hainan and the Siye Society clarified who stole the power of the pink fluffy mote, she would have to take on the classes herself.
Although, from a certain perspective, Luxianbei no longer needed that diploma, if she had to obtain it, there were many ways to do so.
But now, as the end of the semester approached, under her efforts, her attendance rate for the whole semester had perfectly remained at 100%.
This situation was akin to using all her strength to bring the BOSS down to just a sliver of health, only needing two or three more skills to k*ll it.
If a mistake occurred now, causing her efforts to go to waste, it would always feel regretful.
By the way, she also wanted to see if she would “accidentally meet” Yu Jianqiu at school to verify what Lin Yiqi had said to her yesterday.
“I heard that this guy Li Xuan mentioned that there seems to be some special care for those who are still in school, getting absorbed into the Siye Society’s operative and preparatory operative roles, helping to reduce attendance to some extent.” Luxianbei muttered to herself.
Why not take advantage of the Siye Society’s benefits?
She initially joined the Siye Society not just out of necessity but also with the intention of taking advantage of them.
However, since joining the Siye Society, apart from the welfare graveyard at Lion Mountain, she hadn’t received much in the way of tangible benefits, but had indirectly helped the Siye Society solve several major issues.
“Before the start of the next semester, I have to write an application for Qing Sister to help me get one too.”
Tch! In today’s world, the nights are getting longer, the number of urban legends is increasing, and I wonder if the existence of spiritual ability users will become public knowledge in the future?
“Who knows, there might even be something like ‘spiritual ability special students’ appearing then?”
As Luxianbei rambled to herself while walking out of the parking shed, she had just reached the entrance when an anticipatory thought flashed through her mind.
[She rides by and crashes into you.]
Luxianbei, “???” What is this? Is someone trying to harm me this early in the morning? She thought, pausing her steps and quietly taking a step back.
The next second, a well-built girl sped past her on a somewhat worn little electric scooter. From the fleeting look, the girl was indeed Yu Jianqiu.
Luxianbei, “”
Is this how it begins? Isn’t the “school corner crash into love” trope a bit cliché? Isn’t riding a little electric scooter for this sort of thing considered m*rder?
And couldn’t there be something more innovative, like crawling out from the box of a new figurine I just bought?
Although it might be a challenge to crawl out of a box measuring 175MM×340MM, that would be much more surprising, wouldn’t it? Luxianbei thought.
At the moment Yu Jianqiu zoomed past her on the little electric scooter, she clearly caught a dazzling expression change on Yu Jianqiu’s face.
From surprise to disappointment to panic, and finally, as the little electric scooter dashed into a nearby green belt, only a look of despair remained!
However, this indicated that her actions were intentional.
Lin Yiqi’s words seemed increasingly credible; Yu Jianqiu was likely intentionally trying to get close to her. Luxianbei thought. “Bang—!”
“Crash!”
Hearing the sound of the little electric scooter colliding with the green belt’s fence and the chaotic sound of Yu Jianqiu tumbling into the bushes, Luxianbei shrugged and walked briskly out of the parking shed.
Then,
Without appearing to notice the disheveled Yu Jianqiu sprawled in the bushes, she turned left and walked towards the teaching building.
However, she had only taken a few steps when Yu Jianqiu’s faint cry came from behind her. “Hey! Aren’t you going to help me?!”
Luxianbei, “???”
Wait! Why does Yu Jianqiu sound so pushy? Didn’t she seem different earlier?—
Yu Jianqiu, who had fallen into the bushes and was feeling quite miserable, was puzzled.
Last night, after watching the video sent by the guy, she was all fired up, waking up before dawn to prepare, determined to win over Luxianbei with the quickest speed.
As Luxianbei rode her little motorcycle into Huacheng University, she received a message from her good friend, the new wingman, which led her to hide near the teaching building.
Observing from the shadows as Luxianbei parked her motorcycle, she immediately pushed the little electric scooter with the broken brake line to the parking shed, ready to create today’s first “coincidence.”
The instant she hopped onto the little electric scooter, Yu Jianqiu had even mentally prepared herself for injury. Although the risk was indeed higher, a complete act had to be performed!
In her mind, when she sped into Luxianbei with the out-of-control scooter, whether she got hurt, Luxianbei got hurt, or both got hurt, it would sufficiently create time and space for interaction.
Some say love is a coincidence, and not loving is only natural.
If there isn’t enough opportunity for interaction, even the chances for those coincidences won’t happen.
However, to her surprise, as she counted down the seconds and timed her approach, Luxianbei did not appear as expected outside the parking shed.
As the little electric scooter charged full-speed toward the green belt, Yu Jianqiu’s face darkened.
She had clearly sensed with her spiritual awareness that Luxianbei was walking out, but for some reason, Luxianbei suddenly stopped at the moment she stepped out of the parking shed.
This makes no sense!
Even if he is a spiritual ability user, I’m the one acting with intention, he shouldn’t have reason to sense my existence ahead of time. He can’t possibly be precognitive, right?
Feeling frustrated, Yu Jianqiu thought and looked up, only to see something even more confusing. Luxianbei was ignoring her and walked straight towards the teaching building.
What’s going on with him? Even if he sees a flower like me in such an accident, wouldn’t even a gay guy want to care?
d*mn it! Just yesterday he was all interested, spilling milk tea in anger, and today he’s so indifferent? What new tricks is he trying to play with me?
The drastic change in Luxianbei’s attitude left Yu Jianqiu feeling greatly disheartened. Watching Luxianbei’s retreating figure, she couldn’t help but let out a somewhat out-of-character delicate cry.
“Hey! Aren’t you going to help me?!”
Hearing the call from behind, Luxianbei turned around, looked around, and expressionlessly pointed to herself, “Are you talking to me?”
Realizing that Luxianbei had turned around, Yu Jianqiu finally understood that her mindset had been affected by Luxianbei’s behavior and that she had been somewhat unprofessional.
According to what that guy had arranged, Yu Jianqiu’s character was supposed to be socially anxious; if such a situation truly occurred, she would bother others as long as she could move, only crying alone if it hurt too much.
After a few seconds of pondering how the real Yu Jianqiu would act in this situation and muster the courage to ask an unfamiliar person for help, Yu Jianqiu naturally extended her small hand, covering her ankle, and shyly said, “It’s you, we met yesterday.”
Pausing, seeing Luxianbei not speaking, Yu Jianqiu seemed frightened and hastily averted her gaze, stammering to add, “Sorry, if it’s too much trouble, you don’t have to worry about me.”
As she spoke, her demeanor was pitiful, invoking sympathy, making it nearly impossible for anyone to refuse her request. However.
Of course, Luxianbei wouldn’t care about that! “Oh, then I’ll just go.”
Luxianbei nodded expressionlessly, turned, and walked away, leaving a whole lot of indifference directed at Yu Jianqiu. “”
Zero points! At this time, no other students had arrived at the teaching building, and the only people around who could help her were me; at such times, there shouldn’t be any opportunities for me to choose.
As long as a choice was provided, there was a probability of being rejected, right?
If it were me, I would definitely say, “Classmate, it seems like my ankle is injured; could you carry me for a bit or help me to the infirmary?” It would seem like a choice, but actually, there would be no choice at all.
Is this the tea art master Lin Yiqi was talking about? I know even better! Hiring Stinky Sister as an emotional consultant was a real mistake; she neither helps nor benefitted me.
Luxianbei scoffed, quickly walking into the teaching building, and at the moment she turned, she transmitted a thought to the coat using the family seal, instructing the coat to control the phone and take a few pictures of Yu Jianqiu.
Watching Luxianbei leave, Yu Jianqiu was in disarray in the wind, questioning whether her tactics had gone wrong. She didn’t know that her tactics would work perfectly well for most boys; the issue lay with Luxianbei. Only a lunatic could date a lunatic.
——
When Luxianbei sat down in the classroom, it was still early, and there weren’t many people in the classroom yet.
She chose an inconspicuous corner to sit and took out her phone, sending messages to Lin Nian and the internet pervert. Wang Buliu: [Good morning, pink-haired loli. JPEG. Bro, help me out, check the background of this girl. [Image], [Image]”]
Gu Qiqi: “Sister Nian, are you up? Can you help me investigate someone? Her name is Yu Jianqiu, probably female, here’s her photo. [Image], [Image]”
Although Lin Nian’s investigation efficiency was nowhere near that of the internet pervert, her investigative direction was slightly different.
The information gathered by the internet pervert could almost be described as a census; he had investigated every stage of Yu Jianqiu’s life from birth to now, with meticulous detail.
On the other hand, Lin Nian could investigate whether Yu Jianqiu had secretly had any affiliations with a certain spiritual ability organization through the large number of spiritual ability users congregating in Shizhou City’s Night Street.
After sending out the two messages, while waiting for replies from Lin Nian and the internet pervert, other students began to arrive in the classroom. Upon seeing Luxianbei, those students immediately approached her.
“Hey, Luxianbei, you’re here quite early today! Just right, I wanted to tell you that we were planning to go on an adventure to Black Divine Rock this weekend. Do you want to join us?”
I heard there are huge urban legends on that mountain. It’d be awesome if we could see them; definitely thrilling!
Black Divine Rock? Isn’t that the lair of those human-faced centipedes? Luxianbei thought, raising her head to look at the speaker, only to see a familiar face.
The newcomer was Yang Yi, the one who had previously messed around in the urban legend game and had planned to meet with the Decapitated Senior happily, accompanied by the classic American horror movie d*ath group consisting of the class flower, a pretty boy, and a black exchange student.
I remember our relationship hasn’t been that great, right? Has Zhipianxian reconciled with him in such a short time? Luxianbei thought expressionlessly, “Oh, I’m busy this weekend; you all go ahead.”
I might be busy, but the urban legends around Black Divine Rock are certainly free; they’ll ensure you have a good experience, Luxianbei thought to herself.
“Yang Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say something to Luxianbei, but at that moment, Heliang pulled him aside.
“Stop talking, I think Luxianbei hasn’t been in the mood to hang out with us lately.”
“Eh? What happened?” Yang Yi asked.
“Don’t you know? Yesterday at the pedestrian street, he got dumped and angrily splashed a cup of milk tea at the girl. He must be heartbroken!”
After hearing Heliang’s words, Yang Yi remained silent for a few seconds and walked back to Luxianbei’s side, patting her shoulder, “Good brother, I can’t really help you with this relationship stuff, but if you need, I can drink a few cups with you or stay up playing games!”
Luxianbei,
Taking advantage of the time before class started, Luxianbei spent a bit of effort persuading Yang Yi and the others to abandon their plans to help him heal his emotional wounds.
Sitting in the classroom, watching the old professor earnestly lecturing at the podium, Luxianbei pondered for a moment, subtly taking out Zhipianxian’s phone from the God Realm Prototype.
The appearance of Yang Yi and the others had given her a prompt.
Although Zhipianxian was now locked up, the influence left behind by her social charisma had yet to completely dissipate.
However, it wasn’t a big deal!
Playing with the phone that Zhipianxian had used, Luxianbei let out a cold laugh in her heart.
How coincidental! That guy Zhipianxian was good at making all sorts of friends, while I was adept at cutting off interpersonal relationships.
Thus, a social “horror operation” quietly unfolded in the classroom of Huacheng University.
