Chapter 20 The Iron-Willed Straight Man
That was when Lu Yi was in his first year of high school. One day, Lu Yi's mother, Yan Xiu'er, had a sudden urge to leave work early to pick up her son from school.
As a result, she waited and waited at the school gate, but her son never came out.
So she had no choice but to ask Mr. Fan, her son's teacher who was on duty, to take her into the school to look for him. They had just reached the bottom of the teaching building when they arrived.
Yan Xiu'er heard her beloved son's voice and went to look. She saw Lu Yi standing with a girl.
The girl was petite and pretty, like a delicate porcelain doll. She was blushing and looking at Lu Yi shyly.
What's funny is that, throughout history and everywhere, families with daughters have always been afraid that other families' sons would steal their precious daughters away.
Families with sons always look forward to their sons bringing home cabbages from other people's homes, and this was true even for Yan Xiu'er, who was raised as a lady from a respectable family since childhood.
Seeing this scene, she was somewhat excited. Was her son about to have an epiphany?
Thinking of this, she pulled Teacher Fan and quietly hid behind the wall. Although the teacher was a little confused, he obediently hid behind her because of Yan Xiu'er's status.
Yan Xiu'er listened excitedly to the sounds coming from the other end, her hands clenched into fists as she silently cheered for her son.
"Lu, I... I'm Liu Jing, and I'm... a classmate from the class next to yours..."
I've always... always been watching you silently... You... you're so amazing!
"Excuse me...excuse me, can we...be friends?" She finished speaking, her face already as red as a tomato, and she looked at Lu Yi expectantly.
Yan Xiu'er looked at him expectantly, so excited that she wished she could go up and agree for him.
Teacher Fan behind her was quite agitated, but on a different level: puppy love! Puppy love! How dare it happen right under her nose!
She has always aimed to become the dean of students at this affiliated school, and Lu Yi is their school's best student. This is going to interfere with her studies!
Shouldn't she go out right now, catch them, and give them a good talking-to?
But seeing that Yan Xiu'er was even more excited than the person in question, she had no choice but to hold back for now, while secretly hoping that Lu Yi would not be tainted by puppy love and would definitely refuse!
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Lu Yi slowly straightened his clothes and asked with a puzzled expression,
"Hey classmate, do you stutter? That's not good. I heard that Beijing First Hospital has recently started researching this. Why don't you have your parents take you to get checked out?"
Faced with this unexpected turn of events, everyone was dumbfounded. The girl named Liu Jing opened her mouth in confusion, "Wh...what?"
"Look, here we go again! It really is an illness! It needs treatment! I have a family member who's a doctor, you can't delay this, classmate!"
Listening to Lu Yi's well-intentioned advice, Liu Jing's face turned red, but it was probably not out of embarrassment, but out of anger...
"You stupid son! Is that a stutter? That's just a little girl's pure heart. What's wrong with you?" Yan Xiu'er cursed inwardly through gritted teeth.
But that wasn't all. As he spoke, Lu Yi raised his hand and touched his chin again.
"And what was your name again? Oh well, I've forgotten. Why are you paying attention to me? You're not from some kind of supervisory group, are you?"
Then you'd better check carefully! I'm a law-abiding student, don't misunderstand!
Upon hearing this, Liu Jing was practically fuming, and Yan Xiu'er covered her face with her hands, unable to bear the sight.
