Chapter 107 107 Lu Xuan: Pei Qi is a stupid little cat! ...
Pei Qi wiped his face carelessly with the back of his hand, staining it with salty tears. He frowned and picked up the menu, "Waiter!"
Pei Maomao took the menu and started ordering.
Which little cat can resist the temptation of meat!
Seeing Pei Qi transform his grief and anger into appetite, Lu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He liked Pei Qi's lively and energetic appearance; this was Pei Qi's true appearance, a blazing little sun.
Pei Maomao had just finished placing his order with the waiter when he immediately raised the menu and whispered to Lu Xuan, "Um..."
"Um?"
Pei Maomao touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly. "Does Xuan have money now? Am I spending too much? After all, this is Xuan's hard-earned money..."
Ah Xuan is eating radishes and vegetables while he is eating meat and fish. Isn't this inappropriate?
Lu Xuan laughed dumbly, "No, his financial situation isn't as dire as you think."
Seeing Pei Qi's worried look, Lu Xuan added, "You know, he's always been very smart. Even though he was in an unfamiliar environment, he quickly adapted to it and thrived in it."
Hearing this, Pei Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, muttering, "That's good, that's good."
Lu Xuan took a sip of tea and asked, "Oh, I forgot to ask you. Are you studying at Hua University now? I saw the missing person notice there."
"Yes." Pei Qi nodded in agreement.
"Your grades are pretty good, then. The admission score for Hua University is very high."
Lu Xuan's eyes were full of admiration, as if he had a feeling that his son had grown up. You know, Pei Qi was the kind of person who got a headache when he read. Before, when they were in the dormitory, he always forced Pei Qi to study. He didn't expect that after he left, Pei Qi could still study so seriously. He really deserved a thumbs up.
Pei Qi bit the straw of his juice and explained, "No, my grades aren't as good as you think. I got in as a special talent student. Certificates of merit at the provincial level and above come with extra points. Special talent students don't get that high to begin with, and I got extra points for the certificates, so my academic scores are lower than other students."
"It's impressive that you were able to get in. Although certificates can add points, you need certificates to get extra points, right?"
"Which department did you apply for? The Mecha Combat Department?" Lu Xuan looked at him curiously.
Pei Qi has a natural advantage in physical fitness. The capacity of others is that of a cup, while his is that of a water tank. With the support of physical fitness, his mental power is far broader than that of others. The mecha combat system is actually the most suitable for him.
Pei Qi shook his head honestly, "No, I applied for the Mecha Maintenance Department."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion, "Mecha Maintenance Department?"
"Um."
Pei Qi counted on his fingers and said to him, "Yes, you know, the cost of a mecha is very high. How can a poor student like me afford one? It's better to apply for the mecha maintenance department than the mecha combat department. Think about it, the mecha combat department is a major that burns money, while the mecha maintenance department is a profitable one! I have been living in an orphanage, and the orphanage can only support me until I am eighteen. I am in college now and have applied for a federal student loan. I have to take out a loan even for school, so how can I afford to buy a mecha? The mecha combat department inevitably involves mecha combat, which has certain requirements for the precision of the mecha forging and the configuration of the mecha. It is too expensive."
"I see."
Lu Xuan stared at him and reminded him, "When you applied for your major, did you only see that the mecha maintenance department could make money?"
"How could that be? Don't you think the job market for mecha maintenance professionals is huge?" Pei Qi asked in confusion.
"That's true, but the Mecha Maintenance Department requires you to memorize a lot of mechanical books, and the exams are all closed-book. If you don't pass the professional courses, the school won't issue you a diploma."
The implication is - Pei Qi, are you sure you are good at memorizing?
Pei Maomao choked and whispered, "Don't be afraid. Nothing is difficult for those who set their minds to it!"
Lu Xuan: “…”
The logic is correct, but, idiot Pei Qi, you can even memorize a 20-word quatrain for two hours. The mecha maintenance department's exam focuses on the written content. Only after the written assessment can you actually practice on the computer.
"Well, when can I meet Axuan? I have to meet him to know how he has been living these years." Pei Qi looked at him hopefully.
Lu Xuan coughed rapidly a few times.
Pei Qi blinked in confusion, "Did you choke?"
Lu Xuan: “…”
Looking at the dazed Pei Qi in front of him, he was completely at a loss.
Lu Xuan subconsciously looked away and explained, "The army has its own rules. He can't go out easily. However, he can exchange letters with you. I can help him deliver them."
Pei Qi frowned suspiciously. "But didn't you say the army has strict discipline? Then how did you get Lu Xuan's letter?"
Lu Xuan patiently explained to him, "I'm a military consultant hired by the military. Although the army's external communications are restricted, our internal communications are usable. Otherwise, how could I have told Lu Xuan the first time I saw the missing person notice?"
Pei Qi's face suddenly became enlightened. "So that's how it is. I'm really sorry to bother you."
"No trouble."
Lu Xuan took out the wrinkled missing person notice and placed it in front of Pei Qi. There was deep confusion in his eyes. "I've always been curious. You knew Lu Xuan was adopted, so why did you write 'runaway' on the missing person notice? You've been looking for him for so long. Have you ever thought about giving up? Have you ever considered that he has a new life now and maybe he no longer needs you? Have you ever considered that your presence might cause him trouble? After all, people change."
"If the Lu Xuan you're looking for is no longer the same as he was at first, and you've been searching for so long and only get this result, what's the point of all this searching?"
Lu Xuan's blue eyes became dim and unclear.
Facing Lu Xuan's doubts, Pei Qi asked back, "Why do you think Ah Xuan will definitely change? Ah Xuan is Ah Xuan. He is a gentle person and he won't say anything hurtful."
Lu Xuan: “…”
"You haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you think you still understand him now? In the long river of time, he may have found friends who are better than you. Maybe his memory of you has long faded. Maybe he is no longer the person you remember, and your memory of him has always remained in the past. That's why you think he is always so good and so outstanding."
Pei Qi bit the straw and said slowly, "I've written him many letters."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but frowned, "Letter? What letter?"
"A letter of apology. I think he was just angry because I promised to celebrate his birthday with him, but I didn't do it. I didn't wake up in time and even accidentally lost the birthday present I prepared. Although he hasn't replied, I know he should forgive me. After all, after reading these letters, even a heart of stone would be moved. Ah Xuan just needs a way out..."
"Later, I followed his home address and found out they had moved. Perhaps he didn't even receive my letter. Doesn't this just prove that he's been helpless? So, he never knew I had sincerely apologized to him. I want to find him and tell him the apology I didn't say back then. I want to tell him that everyone misses him. If he has a better life now, then let him live it. I just want to know how he's doing. As long as he's doing well, that's all that matters."
Pei Qi thought for a moment and added, "I won't cause him any trouble. I'll just watch from a distance and make sure he's doing well."
Pei Qi picked up a piece of crispy fried spareribs and nibbled on the tender, crispy meat. Lu Xuan stared at him deeply, and he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue several times.
How many stupid things have you done behind my back?
Bruno was a cautious man and there was no way he would leave his residential address in the orphanage.
The crispy spareribs were so delicious that Pei Maomao squinted his eyes comfortably, as if he would lift his tail in the next second.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you what my name is. My name is Pei Qi, and yours?" Pei Qi blinked at him curiously.
Lu Xuan: “…”
Lu Xuan.
The sound seemed to be stuck in the vocal cords and could not be uttered.
After a while, Lu Xuan finally managed to squeeze out two words from between his teeth, "Caesar."
