"That woman is not a remarkable person and is not worthy of Chairman Chu's attention. Look at the lowlifes fawning over her; none of them are even from a noble family."
Julie's eyes were filled with disdain, clearly showing her disdain that someone as worthless as Lu Yulan could pass the test.
When Chu Xinglin heard the phrase "son of a merchant," his eyes darkened. How did this man get in? Did he not know? This man was a martial arts champion, someone he admired even if he didn't like him.
Besides, she shouldn't have mentioned Wei Guang.
“Miss Julie is joking. That man is the champion of this year’s martial arts competition. How could a merchant’s son like me possibly covet him? I’m afraid that after the freshman ceremony, countless noble families will be vying to propose to him.”
As he spoke, he yawned slowly, as if he had just come to his senses and was completely unconcerned about having just embarrassed Julie.
"Miss Julie may have been living in her fiefdom and is not very familiar with the power of the empire. The three people with her are no ordinary people. One is the grandson of a former marshal, one is the eldest son of the current marshal in the Lu family army, and the other is the only nephew of the most favored lord in the palace. Although none of them are high-ranking nobles, in fact, high-ranking nobles are not even worthy of carrying their shoes."
What he really wanted to say was that Wei Guang was his fiancé, but he was afraid Wei Guang wouldn't like it. Since Wei Guang was so happy, he shouldn't make things awkward for him.
These words made Julie's face turn red and white. She had always thought that the lower class would know people in the military and even have connections in the palace. Just who was she?
Just as he was about to speak, Chu Xinglin spoke again.
"I heard that Miss Julie wants to perform her talents and even give a speech on behalf of the freshmen. May I ask what her ranking is? After all, the Military Academy is all about merit. If her ranking is too low and she has to be pushed out of the program, it will put me, the student council president, in a difficult position."
Judging from Chu Xinglin's tone, it was likely that the other party already knew that he hadn't gotten in based on merit and was deliberately making fun of him.
He simply snorted coldly, "You, I'll remember that."
"That's very kind of you." Then, turning to his assistant, he said, "Please bring that martial arts champion over. Have everyone counted. Once everyone's here, we'll set off."
"good."
...
Over here, Lu Yulan and Wei Guang were having a great time chatting about food, and as the saying goes, "a waterfall cascades down three thousand feet, as if saliva were falling from the ninth heaven."
"Let's go back and cook something delicious."
Wei Guang slapped his thigh. His goddess had cooked for him; he could brag about it for the rest of his life.
"No rush, I've booked Xinglinhai for Sister Lan. We'll have a proper meal after the freshman ceremony tonight."
Lu Fangyao was naturally craving it too, but he could still restrain himself. Sister Lan had just gotten off the spaceship and must be very tired. Didn't he see that his older brother was already emitting cold air? If he made Sister Lan cook and feed these bottomless pits, his older brother would probably eat him alive tonight.
"Um, could I interrupt for a moment?"
The assistant cautiously approached; these were all big shots, and he couldn't afford to offend them.
"President, please come over. Our spaceship should take off and return to the school. The freshman ceremony is scheduled for tonight, and we still need to go through some procedures."
Lu's younger brother looked puzzled. "You've got the wrong person. There's no Wu Kui here."
"He didn't get the wrong person; he was talking about me."
Lu Yulan, sitting to the side, raised her little hand, feeling inexplicably ashamed. What should she do?
"Sister Lan?"
"goddess?"
"Wu Kui?"
Yes, yes.
It's a misunderstanding, a beautiful misunderstanding.
