Chapter 32: Luxianbei, Look at Them! 【4K】
Scorpios like to speculate—about people, about the world, and about all relationships and feelings in life. As a result, they often fall into extremely negative states.
After buying the milk tea, Zhipianxian went to buy some snacks and fruit, then returned to her spot, once again ignoring Huaxie Yu’s presence and turning to help her good friend analyze astrology.
“But you don’t need to worry about this negativity affecting you badly; after all, Scorpios are very resilient and will never be brought down by negative emotions. They will definitely bounce back.”
Zhipianxian spoke with confidence, while Huaxie Yu sat by the side, quietly observing in silence. She was as quiet as a small wildflower by the roadside, leaving only beauty and breath behind.
After observing “Luxianbei” up close, she became more convinced that “Luxianbei” was indeed the type of guy who had a “sea king” personality, and a “mediocre” kind at that.
In fact, if he didn’t have a charming appearance, “Luxianbei’s” words and actions would definitely come off as greasy.
However, such is reality—good-looking people saying those things and doing those acts are considered flirty and hit the mark with girls, while not-so-good-looking people are seen as disgusting.
But—
Shameless little brother, playing hard to get, are you? Such tricks won’t work on me! I want to see how long you can keep it up, thought Huaxie Yu.
Her mission was not just to become lovers with Luxianbei; it was to target his “pig slaughtering plan.” The more opportunities she denied him, the more he would want to obtain her.
Only by making him believe there is always a chance, while always falling just short, would he become restless and uncomfortable, like ants crawling all over him, allowing him to sink deeper into desire, making him dare not head west when he is pushed east.
An extremely unequal romantic relationship is the essence of a “pig slaughtering plan”!
Playing hard to get, huh? I can do that too! Huaxie Yu thought slyly, took a sip of her milk tea, and found a light ring of white milk cap around her lips.
The next moment, when she subconsciously opened her cherry-colored lips a little and extended her pink tongue to lick the corner of her mouth clean, a hand holding a tissue appeared in front of her, gently helping to wipe away the milk cap from her lips.
Huaxie Yu froze for a moment and looked at “Luxianbei,” her gaze shy yet slightly angry, almost questioning, “What are you doing?”
As their eyes met, Luxianbei smiled, seemingly unaware of her displeasure, handing her a small dish before returning to his seat, continuing to help his good friend analyze astrology.
Huaxie Yu glanced down at the small dish in her hand and frowned slightly.
Inside the dish were perfectly peeled pomelo segments, walnut kernels without the black skin, and peeled candied chestnuts. Thoughtfully, it even included a pack of wet wipes for cleaning hands after eating.
Huaxie Yu exclaimed, “Wow! When did he prepare this?”
She suddenly realized she might have underestimated Luxianbei’s abilities.
Some scumbags won’t confess to the person they’re interested in but will treat them like their girlfriend unconditionally, being attentive in every way possible.
Although this behavior seems a bit like that of a “licking dog,” the difference is that scumbags don’t do this for just one girl, and they don’t care about the reactions of the girls.
It’s quite possible that what Huaxie Yu has, her good friend also has.
Scumbags simply go about their business without high expectations or sincere investments. In the end, whichever girl gets touched by this consideration is just unfortunate.
On the pedestrian street, by the roadside.
After watching the interaction between Zhipianxian and “Yu Jianqiu,” Jumeng elbowed Luxianbei, “Luxianbei, look at them!”
“I saw it, so what?”
Jumeng rolled her eyes at Luxianbei, “So? You don’t intend to learn from them?”
“Learn? Learn what?” Luxianbei tilted his head, “Learn to be shameless like him?”
How can you dare to call others shameless? Jumeng thought to herself, then said, “Dog, do you need me to teach you this kind of thing?”
“Here’s what you do, get home early, clean the place up, and tonight I want tomato oxtail soup, so you cook it for me.”
Luxianbei glanced at Jumeng, his expression deadpan, “Is that all? Do you need me to chill the drinks for you, wash and cut the fruits, turn on the air conditioning, set up a high-end computer for you, download and update the games, take you up the ranks in the evening, and then give you a Thai massage afterward?”
Jumeng nodded, patting Luxianbei on the shoulder, “I’m satisfied! Who would’ve thought you’re actually quite good at this? But you missed a detail; you have to feed me the fruit.”
Luxianbei rolled his eyes, “Then you better go to bed early tonight.”
“Huh? But I want to play all night!”
“You must go to bed early.” Luxianbei said firmly.
Is this dog worried about my health? Could he really be planning to help me with something? Jumeng looked at Luxianbei, pondering.
“Otherwise, you won’t be able to dream,” Luxianbei said expressionlessly.
Jumeng,””
“Shout! I knew you, dog, wouldn’t treat me that well!” She pouted nonchalantly, “If you really did, I’d have to suspect that our bond has changed.”
“Bond?”
Jumeng scoffed, “Hmph! You called me dad right before you left, and you’ve forgotten so quickly?” Luxianbei, “”
The bond may not have changed, but if you bring this up again, it’s possible for our bond to become weird gradually.
While Luxianbei was silent, Jumeng turned to look at the cold drink store with raised eyebrows, “By the way, why is there someone who looks exactly like you over there flirting with girls?”
“Hmm,” Luxianbei thought for a moment, then replied seriously, “I think that might be Zhipianxian, left at school to help me answer attendance?”
Although Zhipianxian had undergone some changes that Luxianbei was unaware of, leading her to ignore his commands issued during his time at Dachunyang Palace, she had begun to act on her own.
However, at such a close distance, he could sense the connection between him and Zhipianxian, and it wouldn’t be a problem to regain control over her behavior.
He just didn’t know the limit of the distance for regaining control over Zhipianxian.
It was certain that the limit was shorter than three kilometers; he couldn’t control her when he was at Jingyi Apartment Complex, three kilometers away, Luxianbei thought.
“Huh?” Jumeng looked at Luxianbei in surprise, “You’re saying that thing is Zhipianxian? So, you were flirting with girls?”
“Dog, you’re pretty good at this?! Even if you’re not at school, you leave a paper figure at school to attract girls?” She was well aware of what Zhipianxian was and had heard of it before even knowing Luxianbei. Furthermore, she had seen Luxianbei use it at Peach Source.
And as she knew, the actions of Zhipianxian, a low-level puppet, were entirely controlled by its owner. This meant that whatever Zhipianxian did was actually under Luxianbei’s control.
“You think too much, I’m not that free,” Luxianbei said, “It’s just that during my time away from Huacheng, Zhipianxian might have undergone some subtle changes that I’m not aware of.”
“Do you think I’m going to believe you? Dog, you’d better go tell the police!” Jumeng said.
Zhipianxian having gained self-awareness, running around university campuses flirting with girls like a humanoid self-propelled cannon is a joke meant to fool a three-year-old. It’s impossible to trick an ancient monster that’s over five thousand years old.
“The police won’t handle this; it’s something for the Siye Society to take care of. By the way, I’m a Siye Society operative.”
As Luxianbei spoke, he took out his phone to search for the message sent by Professor Ma to show Jumeng. When he opened the message record, he found a message from Professor Ma earlier.
[13:24 Luxianbei, when are you coming back? The thing you left is about to go out of control!]
Professor Ma messaged me today? Luxianbei was taken aback and came back to himself, then handed his phone to Jumeng, “Here!”
For some reason, he felt the need to clarify this misunderstanding with Jumeng. Perhaps he didn’t want the bond to change?
Jumeng took the phone, skimmed through it, and cocked her head at Luxianbei, “Is it that old man who came with you to Chunfeng Residence last time?”
After looking at those messages, Jumeng chose to believe Luxianbei.
Thinking back, it made sense!
If he were really controlling Zhipianxian, that limping girl would have probably dealt with him long ago, Jumeng thought.
“Yeah.” Luxianbei nodded, “I didn’t pay much attention when Professor Ma mentioned it to me; after all, Zhipianxian was still under my control then, but unexpectedly—”
“What are you planning to do now?” Jumeng asked curiously, pausing before adding, “Just a reminder, the bond with that girl is showing signs of disturbance.”
As a god of relationships, Jumeng could naturally see that the red thread of fate between that girl and Luxianbei was acting strangely at such a close distance.
She sensed the disturbance of Luxianbei’s relationship while at Peach Source, likely due to Zhipianxian’s actions.
After all, there were so many people in Huacheng, where Luxianbei was born and grew up; there was no shortage of romantic interests. If Zhipianxian behaved as it did now, it was bound to inadvertently affect a few.
“If it comes to it, should we just capture and destroy Zhipianxian?” Jumeng suggested.
Luxianbei pondered for a moment, “I haven’t thought it through yet, but even if we make a move, it won’t be here.” As he spoke, Jumeng looked around and nodded, agreeing with Luxianbei’s words.
Since Zhipianxian had gained its own consciousness, it wouldn’t cooperate easily. With so many students on the pedestrian street, if there were a conflict, it would attract a lot of trouble.
“Then let’s draw it to a deserted place first, and then capture it,” Luxianbei said. “Anyway, at this distance, I can regain control over it again.”
As he spoke, he turned to look at the cold drink store, focused, and attempted to control Zhipianxian once more—
Regarding Luxianbei’s goodwill, Huaxie Yu certainly wouldn’t accept it so quickly!
If she accepted it too soon, when the goodwill accumulated to a certain extent, she would feel embarrassed to refuse. That would be a loss!
“I—I want to go back first.”
Huaxie Yu stammered, setting down the small dish and getting up to leave.
Luxianbei didn’t stop her immediately but waited for her to exit the cold drink store before picking up the milk tea from the table and chasing after her.
“Stop! Don’t go!”
Luxianbei suddenly shouted forcefully.
Huaxie Yu’s body stiffened as she froze in place, awkwardly moving her arms and sneaking glances at “Luxianbei,” portraying a strong desire to leave.
In fact, under normal circumstances, girls in such situations could completely ignore it and leave, but she paused, leaving an opportunity for “Luxianbei.”
Making him feel that this girl was easy to bully and control would give him a chance to strike again after this setback.
After calling Huaxie Yu, “Luxianbei” stepped closer, handing her the milk tea with a gentle voice, “Jianqiu, you forgot your milk tea.”
“You bought it, and you only drank a sip before throwing it away. Isn’t that wasteful?”
As he spoke, he gently took one of Huaxie Yu’s hands, placing the milk tea in her palm.
Is this happening? She actually stopped? She really is the type of conservative and timid girl!
Hmph! As long as she takes this milk tea away, she will keep thinking of me before she finishes it, which will leave her with a moderately deep impression.
Little sheep, you’ll eventually belong to me! thought Zhipianxian.
Huaxie Yu opened her mouth, just about to refuse, but then saw the boy in front of her suddenly have a strange spasm on his face. It was as if his facial nerves had gone out of control, the corners of his mouth crooked and twitching as if they might stretch to behind his ears.
At the same time, his grip suddenly tightened, fingers digging into the delicate skin of Huaxie Yu’s forearm, making her feel pain.
Huaxie Yu, “???”
WHAT’S UP?! What is wrong with this guy? The files didn’t say he had this kind of madness? The next moment, something even more unexpected happened.
“d*mn it, enough!”
Luxianbei suddenly yelled, his arm lifted sharply, and with a “splash,” he threw the milk tea he had only taken one sip from all over Huaxie Yu.
The mixed tea with cheese and milk cap slid down her head, soaking her long hair, sticking to her face, attracting a crowd of onlookers who began to comment.
Before she could even react, “Luxianbei” held his forehead, mumbling, “Just wait!” and ran off.
Watching Luxianbei’s fleeing figure, Huaxie Yu’s emotions turned complicated all of a sudden.
This Luxianbei, apart from being a scumbag, seems to have a yandere attribute—can’t get you, so I’ll ruin you?
What kind of madness is this?!
Huaxie Yu suddenly felt that the danger level of this task had seamlessly risen a notch—
On the other side.
Jumeng looked at Luxianbei sideways, “This is what you call control?”
Luxianbei remained silent for a few seconds, not answering Jumpeng and stating flatly, “This is something I could learn from.”
“How about this? I’ll treat you to milk tea?”
Jumpeng rolled her eyes, “Get lost!”
