Chapter 108108 Lu Xuan: Your friend, the wife-protecting maniac, is online...
"Caesar? What a nice name." Pei Maomao nodded approvingly.
Lu Xuan: “…”
Compared to Lu Xuan, who had no appetite, Pei Maomao was in high spirits. The little greedy cat swept across the table, and his appearance of a hungry cat reincarnated was really hilarious. Lu Xuan called the waiter and asked him to pack a few desserts for Pei Qi.
Pei Maomao rubbed his bulging belly comfortably, his tail twitching behind him. He waved at Lu Xuan, "No, no, I'm full. I really can't eat any more."
Lu Xuan smiled disapprovingly and said, "I'll bring it back for you as a midnight snack. If you can't finish it, share it with your roommates. You should get along well with your classmates."
As he spoke, his slender fingers gently rubbed Pei Qi's head.
Pei Maomao: “?”
After a brief contact, Lu Xuan immediately withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
Pei Maomao: “???”
"Let's go."
At the corner of the corridor, they ran into another group. The red-haired leader sneered at Lu Xuan, "Hey, isn't this the eldest son of the Custer family? I heard your father gave you two more brothers. Your Custer family is really prosperous!"
As soon as Red Hair said this, everyone burst into laughter, and his playful and teasing eyes moved back and forth on Lu Xuan.
If Lu Xuan is someone else's child, his unreliable father is the one who brings discredit to him. His wings are too dazzling, so that in the eyes of others, his existence is too annoying. Adults talk about Caesar all the time, and the more they focus on him, the more rebellious the child becomes.
Who wants to admit they are a loser?
Every time David saw Lu Xuan, he would make a sarcastic remark or two at him.
David's smile remained unchanged, his eyes filled with mockery. "You've worked so hard, trying so hard to bring honor to our family. But what's the point? You can't even protect your own home. It's thanks to your efforts that your parents wouldn't even be able to maintain their seemingly harmonious marriage."
Lu Xuan completely ignored his words. He turned to look at Pei Qi and said softly, "Pei Qi, let's go."
Pei Qi looked at the group of people unhappily. Seeing Lu Xuan's indifferent look, he pursed his lips, slowly loosened his clenched hands hidden in his pocket, and said nothing in the end.
What a bunch of rude guys.
Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't respond, David immediately stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster. He led his men to whistle, "What's going on? The young master has changed his henchman? I didn't expect Bert, who served him so diligently, to be replaced by a newcomer. What a pity."
Lu Xuan didn't even glance at him from beginning to end, but just walked forward with Pei Qi.
"This newcomer doesn't look like a real stranger. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Let's chat. We've booked a private room next door."
As he spoke, David reached out and tried to grab Pei Qi who was behind him.
The next second, there was a crisp "crack" sound. Lu Xuan, who had never looked him in the eye, turned around and grabbed David's wrist. The strong force squeezed David's bones and made them crackle. His deep blue eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow. "You touched him?"
David's face changed immediately. Who could have imagined that the wooden lump would suddenly start to move? He grimaced in pain and said, "Hey, let go!"
Lu Xuan's expression was stern, like a dragon whose treasure was coveted. He tightly grasped David's wrist and pulled him towards him. His knees rammed hard into David's abdomen. He grabbed David's hair with his large hands, staring at him with eyes as deep as the ocean. He spoke word by word, "Keep your hands and feet clean, or I can't guarantee what I'll do."
David's explosive red hair was messed up by his hand. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of ferocity, and his hands tightly grasped Lu Xuan's collar. "You little bastard, do you know who I am? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me! Do you think you can rest easy just by relying on the Custer family?"
"Bang."
Lu Xuan kicked David directly on the knee. The people around could even hear a clear "crack". David gasped in pain and half-knelt in front of him. Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and his playful eyes wandered over David. "Do I need to know who you are? Let your elders come and talk to me. You are not qualified to talk to me!"
After saying that, Lu Xuan grabbed Pei Qi's wrist and walked straight down, completely ignoring the chaos behind him.
"David, are you okay?"
"Someone, hurry up and take him to the hospital!"
Lu Xuan pulled him all the way to the underground parking lot and said, "I'll drive you home."
Pei Qi said nothing, staring straight at Lu Xuan's hand that was holding his.
"Feel sorry."
Lu Xuan suddenly let go of his hand. He subconsciously touched the tip of his nose and explained awkwardly, "I'm sorry, something unexpected happened just now. I was afraid you would get entangled with them, so I took the initiative to pull you away."
"I didn't mean to involve you in this matter." Lu Xuan looked at him and said honestly.
Pei Maomao tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "It really feels different."
"Um?"
"You're acting like two completely different people now than you did just now."
#On how double standards Lu Xuan has! #
He was gentlemanly and shy in front of Pei Qi, but acted completely differently in front of others.
#I'll hit you if you want, do I even have to choose a day? #
#A dragon in sheep's clothing is always a dragon#
Lu Xuan carefully observed Pei Qi's expression and explained, "Did I scare you just now? I'm sorry, I didn't know he would suddenly catch you. I was afraid he would scare you, so I caught him."
Pei Maomao thought for a moment and replied, "Your movements just now were very clean. It felt like a specially practiced grappling technique."
Lu Xuan's lips curled up into a smile, and he nodded seriously, "Although I'm just a military advisor, but in an environment like the army, I should learn some self-defense skills. Do you like these?"
"Um."
"The teacher always says that my movements are not clean and that I only have explosive strength." Pei Qi scratched his head in annoyance.
#Others' movements are clean and neat, he relies entirely on his physical strength#
After all, tigers are a combination of explosive power and strength, and Pei Qi naturally has a certain advantage in strength.
"Then I'll teach you when I have time?" Lu Xuan chuckled.
Pei Qi: "..."
Pei Maomao hesitated for a moment and added softly, "I think we should forget it. The bones will break. The twist you just made has already dislocated his wrist. And the sound of his knee hitting him is serious. He might even have a fractured bone."
Lu Xuan blinked at him and explained, "I will hold back and won't hurt you. I promise."
"The guarantee is void."
Lu Xuan: “…”
It has to be said that "Caesar" is a real efficiency man. After just a few days, he handed the letter to Pei Qi.
Pei Maomao held the heavy envelope and smiled at him, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Pei Qi couldn't wait to tear open the envelope.
The envelope contained not only the letter Lu Xuan had sent him, but also several photos of Lu Xuan when he was a child. In the photos, Lu Xuan had a stern face and looked indifferent, with his long and thin tail touching the ground.
Pei Qi looked at photo after photo in surprise, as if through these photos he could glimpse Lu Xuan's growth trajectory over the years.
“Swish.”
As he turned the pages, a check fell to the ground.
Pei Qi was startled and slowly picked up the check that had fallen on the ground. He looked at "Caesar" suspiciously, "What does this mean?"
Lu Xuan spread his hands, looking clueless. He explained, "This is a letter he sent you. I haven't opened it, and I didn't know there was a check inside. Why don't you take a look at the contents of the letter and see what he means."
Pei Qi held the check tightly and unfolded the letter Lu Xuan had written to him.
"Pei Qi, I never thought we'd have the chance to meet in such a crowd. I'm so happy to hear about you. I've never forgotten you all these years. I'm deeply sorry for not getting in touch with you in time because of moving. Please believe me, I've never been angry with you, so you don't have to apologize.
I heard that you've been in some trouble recently. This little money is a token of my appreciation. I hope it can help you get through this difficult time..."
Pei Qi's brows knitted together, and he threw the check on the ground, stomping on it angrily. He said dissatisfiedly, "I didn't go to him for money. What does he mean by this?"
Lu Xuan didn't expect him to be so angry, and hurriedly explained: "He heard about your student loan and sent you the money. He didn't mean it the way you thought. He simply wanted to help you. You know, he's in the army, a place with strict management. Even if he had money, he wouldn't have anywhere to spend it."
Pei Qi pursed his lips tightly and said dissatisfiedly, "This check makes me think he has ulterior motives. It's not that I hate him, I just want to know if he's doing well after leaving the orphanage. Knowing that he's doing well is enough. He sent me a check without any context, which is particularly annoying."
Lu Xuan explained sincerely, "He just wants to help you and help you solve the problem of student loans."
"I have hands and feet, I don't need to owe him such a favor." Pei Qi said stubbornly.
Seeing that Pei Qi refused to accept the money no matter what, Lu Xuan immediately changed his tone, "Have you forgotten that he has blood-sucking relatives? This money is his personal savings. Whether he gives it to you to manage or uses it to pay off your student loan, it's considered an accomplishment. Have you ever thought about what would happen if his vampire relatives found out about this money?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Qi frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "This money can't be given to those conscienceless people!"
Seeing Pei Qi taking the bait, Lu Xuan immediately said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "Yes, he gave the money to you because he knew those people couldn't be trusted. Even after all this time, he still thinks you are a trustworthy partner. Didn't you all keep your money together before?"
Pei Qi: "..."
Pei Maomao hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the check that was on the ground and patted the dust off the check. Wasn't he just angry for a moment and ignored Axuan's deep meaning?
Pei Maomao put the check into the envelope, her face tense. "I will definitely protect Xuan's money and not let those vampires touch it!"
Caesar shook his head. "You misunderstood his meaning. If you leave the money alone, it's just money. It's useless. You're rejecting Lu Xuan's kindness. But if you use the money, and use it for the right things, doesn't that mean you've reconnected? Doesn't that mean you're still supporting each other like before?"
Pei Qi looked at the check that was dusty from being stepped on by him and said hesitantly, "Is this what Xuan meant?"
Lu Xuan nodded. "If you're not sure what he's thinking, you can take a look at what he wrote in the letter. You've been looking for him for so long, you should be able to recognize his handwriting."
Pei Qi opened the letter hesitantly, his fingers stroking every stroke. This was indeed Ah Xuan's handwriting. Ah Xuan's handwriting was always neat and tidy.
Pei Qi nodded at him, "Thank you for your advice. I will consider Axuan's suggestion carefully. Even if I don't use the money, I will keep it safe for him to prevent the blood-sucking worms from devouring his property!"
Lu Xuan looked away and said nonchalantly, "Why are you thanking me? I'm just a messenger."
Pei Qi raised his head, his bright eyes gleaming with light. "Thank you for your message. It made me realize that even though we are thousands of miles apart, our hearts are still together."
Time has never made feelings become mottled.
