Lu Jiming never expected that the thing he had hidden because of his stubbornness would be exposed so easily.
However, he resolutely refused to admit that he had deliberately concealed the truth.
Lu Jiming struggled fiercely, saying in frustration, "Uncle, let me go!"
“Give me a reason why I should let you go,” Lu Shiyan said slowly.
Lu Jiming: "..."
He always felt that there was something wrong with his uncle.
Logically speaking...
Even if he deliberately kept it a secret, his uncle shouldn't be so angry after finding out.
It's more interesting to discover your future wife's strengths, virtues, and little secrets yourself, isn't it?
If you let others tell you everything, the mystery disappears, and then it really loses all its charm.
“Uncle, you weren’t even in the country when I found out about this, and you were always busy video chatting with my future aunt. When did you ever pay any attention to me? Naturally, I didn’t have a chance to tell you about it.” After figuring out some of the details, Lu Jiming started to turn the tables. “Besides, you video chat with Jiang Li every day. I thought she would tell you herself. This kind of thing is between the two of you. Why do I, an outsider, need to interfere? Don’t you think so?”
The words "I am an outsider" successfully pleased Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan released Lu Jiming's collar, seemingly letting him off the hook, "Although what you said makes some sense, your failure to report something is punishable by death, but not by impunity..."
"Uncle, what do you want me to do? Tell me!" Lu Shiyan asked very readily.
He now finally understood why his uncle had pulled this stunt.
He's just using this as an excuse to make a fuss.
snort!
However, if Lu Shiyan knew Lu Jiming's thoughts, he would definitely ask, "When I need you to do something, do I need to use this as an excuse? If I give you a direct order, would you dare disobey?"
Lu Jiming didn't dare to ask, so he didn't have the chance to suffer a deeper beating from his uncle.
“I think you’re too impulsive and lack the composure a mature man should have,” Lu Shiyan said seriously. “You need to calm yourself down. If that’s the case… starting tomorrow, you should learn to write meditation mantras with Jiang Jiang.”
Lu Jiming looked at Lu Shiyan with a bewildered expression. He wasn't exactly a mature man to begin with.
He's still an eighteen-year-old teenager!
I haven't even started university yet!
What calming mantra should I write?
Is your uncle sure this isn't a disguised form of punishment?
“Uncle…” Lu Jiming said in a very tactful tone, “My calligraphy isn’t very good.”
“It’s okay.” Lu Shiyan waved his hand. “Just write it down first. Whether it looks good or not is another matter.”
Lu Jiming: "???"
Why did he find it even stranger?
"Anyway, you're on vacation now, and you don't have anything serious to do besides watching dramas all day. Remember to report to Jiang Jiang's place tomorrow," Lu Shiyan reminded him again before going upstairs.
Lu Jiming: "!!!"
What do you mean by "not having anything serious to do"?
Isn't he taking this last chance to relax before the college entrance exam results come out?
Once the results are out, he will begin a new round of battles.
At that time, many humiliating treaties will surely be signed, and it's hard to say whether there will be any room for privacy left.
So, before that happens, shouldn't he indulge himself a little more?
Despite thinking this way, Lu Jiming still went to Jiang Li's place on time the next day.
This surprised Jiang Li quite a bit.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Li was extremely surprised when she opened the door and saw Lu Jiming standing outside. "Did you get the time wrong? Aren't you supposed to be participating in the variety show recording today?"
"No." Lu Jiming waved his hand, looking bitter, and said, "My uncle asked me to come and learn how to write the meditation mantra from you."
"Huh?" Jiang Li seemed startled. "Write a calming mantra? Who? You?"
Lu Jiming nodded, looking bitter and resentful, and said, "He said I lacked the composure of a mature man. He told me to learn to write this so I could calm my emotions and cultivate my character..."
"Oh, okay, I understand..." Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh as she listened.
If she didn't understand at first, she understands completely now.
This is because a certain man is not convinced and wants Lu Jiming to test his mettle.
Was he trying to tell himself that although he lacked talent in learning, he wasn't the only one who lacked talent...?
Actually, there are people who are even less talented than him?
Having understood Lu Shiyan's intentions, Jiang Li's lips remained upturned and never fell.
Ah Yan's little thoughts are just so incredibly cute.
Lu Jiming didn't know what Jiang Li was thinking, but he found her smile a little scary.
So he asked cautiously, "What...what are you laughing at? Did...did I say something wrong?"
"No, no, come with me."
Jiang Li led Lu Jiming into the study.
Then she showed Lu Jiming the text that others couldn't understand.
Lu Jiming took it and was dumbfounded. "What is this?"
“A calming mantra,” Jiang Li replied matter-of-factly. “Take it and study it carefully.”
“No…” Lu Jiming grabbed Jiang Li, who was about to leave, and said with a look of despair, “I don’t know a single word of this calming mantra. You’re asking me to study it? What can I possibly learn?”
Is this a joke?
It's just like when we were in school, and the students would copy the answers they couldn't do. Since they couldn't understand the questions anyway, they would just copy the answers.
But the problem is...
Even after copying, I still don't know how.
Isn't this completely useless?
"You want to know what these words mean? How are they pronounced?"
“If I’m going to do it, I don’t have to do it thoroughly, but at least I need to know how to read it and what it means, right?” Lu Jiming said matter-of-factly. “Otherwise, even if I can copy it, if I don’t understand the content, the calming mantra won’t work on me, will it?”
“You’re right.” Jiang Li nodded in agreement. “Then let’s begin the lesson now.”
He watched as Jiang Li took out several cards with words written on them that he couldn't understand.
If he wasn't mistaken, those were the words used in the meditation mantra.
etc……
Lu Jiming suddenly revealed a strange expression, and then he voiced his question, "Are you that amazing? You planned everything before I even arrived, to teach me the calming mantra? Otherwise, how could you have even prepared the teaching materials?"
Jiang Li: "..."
To save face for Ayan, she definitely couldn't tell the truth.
She wanted to agree with Lu Jiming, but who knew that Lu Jiming's mind was working much faster than usual at this moment.
"No, if you figured that out already, why would you question my arrival?" Lu Jiming finally asked Jiang Li with a serious expression, "Tell me... who are you planning to teach with these props?"
Seeing Jiang Li's somewhat troubled expression, Lu Jiming's internal alarm bells went off. He exclaimed in shock, "No way? You don't have a dog outside, do you?"
Jiang Li: "..."
Remember to say this to your uncle.
