She blinked, her face slightly flushed.
Even she herself felt that this excuse was a bit clumsy.
Lu Qingzhou chuckled. This little girl just wanted to use this opportunity to spend time alone with him! To celebrate her birthday!
Lin Yinuo's arrival instantly dispelled Lu Qingzhou's dreary days. The monotonous campus life was instantly tinged with sweetness because of Lin Yinuo's arrival.
The next few days became a rare, undisturbed time for the two of them.
They attended classes together like any ordinary student couple (Lin Yinuo actually audited the classes).
We studied together in the library, lined up for meals together in the cafeteria, and strolled together along the campus paths covered with sycamore leaves.
Lu Qingzhou felt as if he had returned to his carefree student days, only now he had this gentle and considerate woman by his side who had eyes only for him.
night,
They stayed in a clean and cozy budget hotel near the school, enjoying quiet moments of cuddling and whispering.
On this day,
Lu Qingzhou looked at the calendar, feeling a little melancholy! Because tomorrow is Lin Yinuo's birthday!
He touched his empty wallet and felt a headache coming on.
The power of Mother's "economic sanctions" was now fully on display.
Nono's birthday gift and celebration can't be stingy!
"Brother Qingzhou, what's wrong?" Lin Yinuo was leaning against him reading a book when she noticed his stiffness.
"Oh? It's nothing, it's nothing."
Lu Qingzhou quickly tried to cover it up, his mind racing with calculations.
He picked up his phone, took a deep breath, and dialed Su Qingyao's number.
Champs-Élysées Villa!
Su Qingyao looked at Lu Qingzhou's phone and said to Mu Shaohua,
"My husband, who's in college, is asking for his tuition fees again, haha."
Mu Shaohua smiled and said, "Answer the phone. Let's see what excuse he'll use this time. Hehehe."
Su Qingyao nodded, gestured for Mu Shaohua and the others beside her to be quiet, and then answered the phone: "Is it still 5,000 yuan, the same as last week?"
Lu Qingzhou was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Lin Yinuo lying in his arms and scratched his head: "Wife, can you add 5,000 yuan? I met a girl at school."
On the other end of the phone, several high-pitched voices rang out, "Huh...what?"
"Say it again?"
"Fine, I'll tell you. I started dating someone at school."
Su Qingyao immediately cursed: "Damn it, I've finally become a mother-in-law after being a daughter-in-law this year. I never thought that's how this saying is interpreted. Practice really does make perfect."
Mu Shaohua: "Will I still have to take care of the new mother in a while? Shouldn't we start preparing now?"
Leng Yue burst out laughing, "You guys are confused, the person Brother Qingzhou is talking about might not necessarily be a woman."
Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua exchanged a glance, their jaws nearly dropping in shock.
Su Qingyao unilaterally hung up the phone.
Lu Qingzhou stared at his phone, somewhat taken aback!
Was my opening line wrong? Lu Qingzhou reflected on himself.
Soon after, Leng Yue made a video call.
The video call connected quickly.
Leng Yue's vibrant face appeared on the screen: "Honey! You're so brave! Did you miss me? Was the food in the school cafeteria too awful?"
Lu Qingzhou tried to put on a serious expression, intending to restart the conversation.
"Uh...yes, Yueyue, Sister Shaohua, Qingyao, I was just joking with you guys. I'm being good. Um, let's get down to business."
"What's so serious?"
Su Qingyao glanced at him: "Get to the point!"
Lu Qingzhou: "..."
"Um... I need to buy some important reference books and materials for my studies, um... and some funds for group activities... so how about an extra two thousand?"
Lu Qingzhou made up reasons without changing his expression, his eyes darting around, avoiding direct eye contact with the screen.
"The money I received last time is almost gone... I'm running low. Could you... perhaps send me some more? I need it urgently!"
He specifically emphasized the words "urgently needed".
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the video call.
Then Leng Yue burst into merciless laughter: "Pfft, hahaha! Honey! You're so funny! You always have a different excuse for asking for money! 'Important reference book'? 'Group activity funds'?"
That's hilarious! Are you broke because you're trying to treat your little sister Yinuo to a big meal?
Lu Qingzhou exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know?"
Su Qingyao interjected, "Tch, half of Yinuo's head is showing."
Lu Qingzhou blushed when he realized he had been exposed.
Lin Yinuo chuckled and stuck her head out to greet everyone.
Mu Shaohua suppressed a laugh and said gently, "Alright, stop teasing him. Xiao Lu, how much do you want? I'll transfer it to you secretly."
Seeing that Mu Shao was making an exception, Su Qingyao couldn't be left behind and immediately asked, "How much do you need? I'll transfer it to you. But... remember to get an invoice for the 'materials,' classmate Lu."
She deliberately emphasized the words "Student Lu," which was quite teasing.
Lu Qingzhou was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground, but for Yi Nuo's birthday, she could only bite the bullet and say, "No...not too much, five thousand...oh no, ten thousand! Ten thousand should be enough!"
He quoted a "huge" figure.
"Okay, I'll transfer it to you right away."
Mu Shaohua was very straightforward: "Study hard and participate in activities."
She emphasized the word "activity" with a meaningful tone.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and met Lin Yinuo's gaze, which was both amused and teasing.
"You..."
Lin Yinuo gently poked his forehead, but her heart was filled with sweetness.
