Chapter 930 Yes, I love her very much.
She and Ranran arrived at the classroom door and saw seven or eight children of different ages sitting inside. Each child had a drawing board in front of them. Lu Douqing, wearing a floral dress, was sitting next to one of the chubby children, who was holding a mung bean popsicle in his right hand.
There was also a plump woman next to them, who was obviously the little fat boy's mother.
"It's a good thing I came for a surprise inspection. You were eating and drawing at the same time, weren't you afraid the teacher would scold you?!"
Bai Qingxia clearly saw that her third sister had no intention of cursing at all; her eyes were fixed on the mung bean popsicle in the chubby boy's hand.
Wait a minute, she squinted and suddenly noticed that her third sister's mouth was green, while the chubby boy's lips were clean all around, and all the children in the room were trying not to laugh at the scene.
Bai Qingxia glanced at the sign on the wall that read "No eating in the art studio" and suddenly shrugged and stifled a laugh along with the group of children.
So, this popsicle was originally eaten by the third sister and then stuffed into the little fat boy's hand?
My third sister has now even learned to find scapegoats.
Lu Douqing then realized what was happening, looked away from the popsicle, and clarified to the woman, "I don't swear."
"Ah..." The woman paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, before poking her son's forehead: "Eat quickly! Draw after you finish eating, behave yourself, Mom's leaving."
The chubby boy turned to watch his mother leave the art studio, and Lu Douqing followed suit. After the woman disappeared, she took a bite of the popsicle in the chubby boy's hand and ate it herself.
"Teacher, give me a little bit, and I'll take the scolding for you."
"Your mother won't scold me."
"But my mom will tell on me!"
Lu Douqing stopped what she was doing and looked down at the popsicle. Reluctantly, she handed it over, and the chubby boy immediately beamed with joy.
"Teacher, I love you!"
Lu Douqing: "I don't love you."
She turned her head to look at the door, suddenly laughed, and opened her mouth to say "Ah".
"You've been standing here for so long, and you only just noticed me..." Bai Qingxia forced a smile.
"Qiuqiu said your sister is coming to learn to draw."
“That’s right!” Bai Qingxia pushed Ranran forward.
Ranran wasn't really afraid of her third sister; perhaps it was because the seemingly silly adult made her feel safer.
“Take your artwork to the teacher to see.” Bai Qingxia patted Ranran’s head, then explained to her third sister, “Her eyesight has just improved and she can only distinguish colors now. She hasn’t learned to paint yet, but I think she has a lot of talent.”
Ranran immediately took out her painting from her schoolbag, stepped forward and handed it over with both hands, then immediately stepped back, took Bai Qingxia's hand, and looked expectant.
The third sister looked at a few pictures and responded with a smile, "They're so ugly."
How direct!
Ranran pouted unhappily, and Bai Qingxia noticed and quickly patted her head.
"By the way, the piano summer class next door offers one-on-one lessons. If you sign up together, we can give you a 20% discount, plus a free paint and sheet music book." Lu Douqing read the advertisement without any emotion.
"Wow, what a responsible working person..." Bai Qingxia smiled and blinked, momentarily embarrassed and unsure of what to say.
Aren't we relatives? Third Sister.
After leaving Ranran there, Bai Qingxia went to the nearby Lu Corporation headquarters. The headquarters was very close to her third sister's extracurricular classes. When she was looking for a job, her third sister had chosen this location because it would be convenient for her to see her younger brother.
Bai Qingxia planned to share her third sister's current situation with Lu Yuanqiu, but when she arrived at the company, she found that he was not in the office at all. When she asked Li Qingxuan, she even learned that he had not come to the company today.
"President Lu definitely didn't mean to lie to you! It's even less likely to be an affair, President Bai, please don't overthink it!" Li Qingxuan said anxiously at the office door.
Bai Qingxia turned around and looked at her, confused: "I wasn't thinking anything, what are you talking about?"
Li Qingxuan gave an awkward laugh: "That's good."
Doesn't this make you suspicious? Lying to your fiancée that you're at work but then not being there, getting caught by her, it's a common scenario of cheating... she muttered to herself.
Bai Qingxia would never overthink things, much less suspect Lu Yuanqiu of cheating—those words are too rare for her. But she would still be very curious. Usually, when Lu Yuanqiu kept something from her, he would secretly prepare a little surprise.
"Where did you go?!"
She sent Lu Yuanqiu a message with a photo of his office attached. Although she didn't suspect anything, she still had to make it sound accusatory.
...
“Dr. Mao, my phone is ringing…” Lu Yuanqiu looked at the phone placed on the corner of the table.
"It's okay, I'll look at it later. By the way, I told you my surname isn't Mao, it's Li."
"Oh, okay." Lu Yuanqiu nodded hurriedly.
The psychologist sitting across from him looked quite funny; his eyebrows were joined together, making him look like a Taoist priest with one eyebrow. Most importantly, Lu Yuanqiu thought he looked exactly like Mao Sheng from Class 29 of high school, the man who always made him laugh.
"Mr. Lu, let's continue our previous topic. Could you describe your feelings in the dream in more detail? Uh, what are you laughing at?"
"Ah, no." Lu Yuanqiu composed himself, trying not to look at the person opposite him. He explained, "I was just very scared. The water was very cold, my mind was numb, I couldn't move, and my feet hurt a lot, like a withered hand was grabbing my ankles."
"Mao Sheng" nodded solemnly.
Lu Yuanqiu lowered his head, suppressing a laugh.
What are you laughing at?
"I'm so sorry! You look a lot like one of my high school classmates." Lu Yuanqiu quickly raised his hand, squeezed his eyes shut, and kept them closed for a while before opening them again.
"Mao Sheng" looked at him seriously.
Lu Yuanqiu turned his head away and, with lightning speed, imagined the scene after Lu Tian died of old age several decades later.
"I'm all better, Dr. Mao." He became serious, his expression even a little sad.
My surname is Li, never mind... The psychologist nodded: "Yes, and then the dream always ends the moment the second person with the dagger jumps into the water. Every time, you also said that you had a certain fear of the dark before that, so the direction you fall is pitch black."
Were these two things originally related? Lu Yuanqiu nodded.
"Mao Sheng" made a brief note in his notebook, then looked up and asked, "I would like to ask if there is anything in your daily life that makes you feel uneasy?"
Lu Yuanqiu thought about it carefully and nodded, "I think so."
He was afraid that Zheng Yifeng would ask him, "Are you a reincarnated person?"
He feared that the current happiness was all an illusion, or even that he would discover before the wedding that it was all a dream. Although Lu Yuanqiu did not believe that his life would experience anything fantastical, the fact that he was sitting here was fantastical in itself.
He couldn't accept his rebirth with the same peace of mind as other reborn characters in movies and TV shows.
He's just an ordinary person; he can get hurt and die, and he doesn't have the protagonist's halo.
"I know the fate of all of you, but I don't know my own."
This was a sentence he had said to himself six years ago, but after Cao Shuang left, he realized that he didn't know the fate of anyone, and he had caused too many butterfly effects.
Now, he's starting to worry about his future.
Lu Yuanqiu: "Doctor, I'm getting married to my fiancée soon, and I'm a little scared."
The doctor smiled and said, "It seems you love her very much. Marrying her is something you've dreamed of for a long time. It must be the happiest moment of all your expectations."
Lu Yuanqiu nodded absentmindedly: "Yes, I love her very much."
