Chapter 6 You'd Better Afford It

"Kneel down."

When Lu Shiyu returned home, he was a little surprised to see Ling Xiuzhu sitting in the middle of the living room, but he still walked forward and knelt in front of her obediently.

"You thought I was still abroad? I asked the principal to check the surveillance footage, and you haven't even returned to school! You can lie now, right?"

Lu Shiyu knelt on his knees, straightened his back, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"What's that smell on you? Is it a woman or alcohol?!" Ling Xiuzhu sniffed him.

"Speak up! Where have you been?!"

Lu Shiyu clenched his fists and moved his thin lips: "Anyway, I will be admitted to Beijing University."

Ling Xiuzhu sneered: "What you mean is that as long as you can get into Beijing University, you can do whatever you want with other things?"

She frowned, "You are from the Lu family. Jingda is just a small fragment in your brilliant resume that cannot be wrong. Your life cannot have even the slightest stain."

At this moment, Ling Xiuzhu was interrupted by her secretary, who came over to whisper something to her.

Ling Xiuzhu restrained her expression and said, "I understand. Tell the minister that I'm coming over now."

She turned to Lu Shiyu, who was kneeling on the ground. "Ayu, I will come back to settle this matter with you. Put away your inappropriate thoughts."

After Ling Xiuzhu left, Lu Shiyu stood up by supporting his knees.

"Master, it's time to take your medicine." The servant brought him a bottle of medicine.

"Okay." Lu Shiyu took it and returned to his room.

With the scent of Fu Mingshuang still on his body, he walked into the bathroom in disgust and let the hot water pour over him from head to toe.

He recalled the last conversation they had in the car...

How to coax?

Fu Mingshuang did not give a clear answer.

She just laughed, her body shaking with laughter, then leaned on her own shoulder, her fingertips pausing and poking at her jawline:

"My dear, you have to be sincere when you coax someone. Think about how you should coax me."

Then she put away her smile and frowned coldly:

"You only have one chance, Lu Shiyu, you better be able to afford it."

Thinking of this, Lu Shiyu closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and let the hot water wash him more thoroughly.

On the other side...

Fu Mingshuang had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

The area around the collarbone was particularly eye-catchingly red, as if it had been scrubbed repeatedly.

Mrs. Lin brought the hot milk to Fu Mingshuang's desk and moved Fu Mingshuang's doll aside to make room.

Fu Mingshuang saw it and screamed, "No!"

She rushed forward and picked up the doll.

Mrs. Lin was startled to see that there was a ring strung with a black rope under the doll. She had seen Fu Mingshuang wearing it every day recently, so she guessed that she treasured it very much and was afraid that it would be crushed by the doll.

"My apologies, miss. I didn't realize this necklace was so important to you."

"Throw it away." Fu Mingshuang said with a cold face as he stuffed the doll into Mrs. Lin's arms.

"ah?"

"Xiaoyou is dirty, throw it away." Fu Mingshuang repeated it again.

Fu Mingshuang walked to a cabinet, opened it, and picked out a doll with silver-gray curly hair from the pile of dolls.

"From now on, you can call me Xiaoyue. Be good." She pointed at the ring on the table and said to the doll:

"That's dirty, don't touch it. If you touch it, I won't want you anymore."

After saying that, she held the new doll, picked up the milk that Sister Lin brought in, raised her swan neck and drank it "gulp gulp".

Rolling down the throat, there is a red collarbone.

***

The next day, the school held a grade-wide meeting early in the morning to award prizes to the students who ranked in the top 10 in the grade in the previous mock exam.

The most interesting part of this award ceremony has always been that the 2nd to 9th place winners change frequently, but the first place winner remains the same.

Lu Shiyu always takes first place without a doubt.

So, when the principal read out Lu Shiyu's name, no one paid attention.

But when the principal read out the name three times and the person himself still didn't show up, everyone started whispering to each other.

After a while, there was a little commotion among the crowd near the venue.

Lu Shiyu appeared.

As usual, he was wearing his school uniform jacket with a black hooded sweatshirt underneath.

This kind of outfit is not uncommon, but he was about to go on stage to receive the award, and at this moment he was wearing the hood of his sweatshirt and slowly walking towards the stage.

The wide brim of the hat almost covered half of his face.

At the principal's urging, he walked through the crowd of students from the entire grade and walked up to the podium. Then, he took off his hat...

Revealing a head of short silver-gray hair.

Screams instantly filled the entire auditorium.
