Chapter 15 Lu Chi, He's Under My Protection

I disagree.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qing immediately refused.

The refusal was quite decisive, with almost no thought whatsoever.

You're kidding, he's a murderer! Letting him sit next to a murderer, he might kill him any day now.

"Whether you agree or not, Zhou Xiaoming, move your desk over here right now," Old Xu said sternly.

Zhou Xiaoming was in a dilemma. On one side was his homeroom teacher, and on the other was the school bully. He couldn't afford to offend either of them. After hesitating for a long time, he could only follow Old Man Xu's decision.

He shakily moved the desk in front of Yu Qing and said timidly, "I'm sorry, Brother Qing, I have no choice."

Looking at Zhou Xiaoming's timid appearance, Yu Qing knew that Old Man Xu's purpose in doing this was simply to make him stay away from Lin Yueyue. He didn't mind changing seats, but why did it have to be Lu Chi?

He patted Zhou Xiaoming on the shoulder and sighed, "It's okay, it's not your fault."

After saying that, he deftly picked up the table and walked towards Lu Chi's seat.

Yu Qing's performance completely surprised everyone. They never expected that the once arrogant Yu Qing would actually submit to Old Man Xu.

After Yu Qing moved the table, Old Man Xu snorted and began his lecture.

Yu Qing couldn't listen to a word of it; after all, sitting next to a murderer made him somewhat uneasy.

Unexpectedly, his well-intentioned reminder to Lin Yueyue led to the situation developing in a more serious direction.

Fate is truly a strange thing!

Lu Chi sat quietly in his seat, listening to the lecture. He didn't pay much attention to his new deskmate. He would occasionally lower his head to take notes, making a rustling sound, which was very regular.

Lu Chi's hands were thin and long, with prominent knuckles and faint bluish veins on his arms. It was hard to imagine that these were the hands of a murderer.

Suddenly, he stopped moving.

He turned his head, his deep, dark eyes fixed on Yu Qing, a hint of doubt in them, wondering why the other was looking at him.

Yu Qing was startled by Lu Chi's actions, but then calmly patted his collar and said in a lazy tone, "You have a few strands of hair on your school uniform."

Lu Chi subconsciously glanced behind him, but saw nothing. Nevertheless, he gave Yu Qing a grateful look before turning his attention back to the blackboard and listening attentively.

Yu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He used to be able to observe Lu Chi without any restraint because they were far apart and not easily discovered.

Now that they're deskmates, they can sense even the slightest movement and it will alert the other person. Luckily, I reacted quickly and managed to make up an excuse to get away with it.

But just in case, he would try to maintain the usual way of getting along and not deliberately observe Lu Chi, so as not to cause trouble for himself.

The two did not exchange a single word throughout the entire class.

When the bell rang, the classroom became incredibly noisy.

When Old Xu left, he gave everyone a test paper and asked them to finish it before school ended.

Yu Qing disliked doing test papers, especially math ones. He felt that improving his grades within a month was simply a pipe dream, and he would rather spend his time on subjects that required rote memorization.

He heard a soft rustling of pages turning nearby and looked over to see that Lu Chi had already started answering the questions. He wrote at a moderate pace, but with a very rhythmic quality, and almost without any pauses.

Indeed, a genius is a genius.

Even in such a noisy environment, he can still do his homework with ease. Why not use such a brain for the right purpose?

At this moment, Yang Jing, who was sitting in front, suddenly came to Lu Chi's side, coldly threw the test paper in her hand on his desk, and said forcefully, "When you're done, help me with this too."

Lu Chi looked up at her, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly, but he still nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

Seeing this, Yang Jing's expression finally improved.

As she turned to return to her seat, Yu Qing called out to her.

"Hello!"

Yang Jing turned to look at Yu Qing: "Is something the matter?"

Yu Qing grabbed her test paper, strode up to her, and slammed it into her hands, saying without any politeness, "Don't you have hands? Do it yourself."

After saying that, ignoring the astonished looks of his classmates, he turned around and went back to his seat to continue lying down.

Yang Jing stared blankly at the exam paper in her hand, and it took her a long time to come to her senses before she shouted angrily, "Yu Qing! What do you mean?!"

"I don't care if you bully other people, but Lu Chi is unacceptable. He's someone I'm protecting," Yu Qing said lazily.

Yang Jing glared at Yu Qing through gritted teeth, but she didn't dare to provoke him. In the end, she could only swallow her anger and slunk back to her seat with the test paper in her hand.

When Yu Qing said he would protect him, Lu Chi was stunned for a moment.

He pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said with mixed emotions, "Thank you."

Yu Qing ignored him and focused on looking at the exam paper on the table.

Lu Chi stared at him for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Wang Meili. She looked at Lin Yueyue beside her and asked in a low voice, "Yueyue, what's going on between Yu Qing and Lu Chi?"

Lin Yueyue rolled her eyes at her: "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

"As the saying goes, there must be a reason why leather pants are worn over cotton pants. I think the reason why Yu Qing has been acting so strangely these past two days is that he still can't let you go!" Wang Meili sighed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yueyue put down the copy of "Pride and Prejudice" in her hand, looked up at Wang Meili, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Meili leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You see, a boy's attraction to a girl mainly depends on the masculine leadership qualities he displays. This characteristic can fully satisfy a girl's inner need for security. When a boy displays such charm, a girl usually unconsciously wants to get closer to him."

"Yu Qing likes you, so he deliberately showed his righteous side in front of you just now. But unfortunately, you, who come from a wealthy family, have already seen too many outstanding people, so you don't care about these things. On the contrary, a rich and beautiful woman like you has a natural attraction for them. It's not because you are rich, but because they have never met such a person in their growing up."

"Is that so?" Lin Yueyue pondered. Although she felt that Wang Meili's analysis made a lot of sense, there was something still not quite right.

"Please! I'm a relationship guru! I can analyze my parents' relationship perfectly clearly for them, so a mere high school student is no problem at all." Wang Meili raised her chin and said arrogantly.

"Don't worry, no matter how much Yu Qing bothers you, he can only bother you for a month. After the college entrance exam, everyone will go their separate ways. Ten years from now, who will remember whom?"

"You seem to have such a clear understanding of life!" Lin Yueyue exclaimed, looking at her with admiration.

"Hmph! Of course!" Wang Meili said proudly, "I've read countless psychology books. I may not have other skills, but I'm good at judging people."
