Lu Xiaojun decided to forgo the job assignment and return to his rural hometown. This news quickly spread throughout his class and school.
All the students shared the teacher's first reaction: they thought he was crazy.
"Lu Xiaojun, why don't you stay in Kyoto and go back to the countryside?"
A beautiful young woman in a red dress stopped him and questioned him urgently.
She was accompanied by a male and a female classmate.
Lu Xiaojun frowned slightly and said coldly, "It's none of your business!"
The girl retorted angrily, "How could it have nothing to do with me? I like you so much. If you had stayed in Kyoto, we could have been together."
Wow!
There aren't many people in this day and age who dare to speak so frankly in public, but in this vibrant campus full of youthful energy, there's never a shortage of people who are both dreamy and brave when it comes to love.
They are bold and passionate.
Take, for example, the girl in front of you and the two classmates, a boy and a girl, beside her.
Their eyes had already betrayed them.
She loved him, and he loved her, yet she relentlessly pursued Lu Xiaojun.
Lu Xiaojun was speechless; he didn't want to play these pointless games with these people.
“I don’t know you well, and even if I stay in Kyoto, I won’t stay with you.”
"Why?" the girl asked, hurt.
Is there something I'm not good enough for?
Lu Xiaojun remained silent.
"I liked you so much, I liked you for two whole years, how could you be so heartless?"
Lu Xiaojun remained silent.
The girl was heartbroken by his ruthlessness and was on the verge of tears.
"Lu Xiaojun, please don't go back to the countryside. Just stay in Kyoto, please stay for my sake."
Lu Xiaojun was speechless; he didn't know how to communicate with someone with such a peculiar way of thinking.
The male classmate standing nearby got angry. "Lu Xiaojun, what kind of attitude is this? It's an honor for you that Xiaoyu thinks highly of you. Hurry up and agree, or you'll regret it."
Lu Xiaojun glanced at him indifferently, "This is my attitude. If you feel honored, then you can agree."
His contemptuous tone and disdainful expression would be immediately recognizable to anyone present as being exactly the same as Lu Yuan's disdainful manner.
The male student felt extremely insulted. He was already resentful that the girl he liked had fallen for this poor guy, and now that she dared to look down on him, he was instantly consumed by rage and lost all reason.
"You're asking for it!"
The male student took action immediately.
Lu Xiaojun had trained with Lu Yuan, Wen Gang, Qian Bing, and others at home. Although he wasn't as skilled as them, he could handle a few ordinary people without any problem.
Moreover, he was a frail-looking scholar.
Lu Xiaojun simply turned his body slightly, raised his hand to grab the other person's arm, pressed it back, and twisted it behind their back.
Immediately, the male student started yelling and screaming.
"Ouch! Ouch! Let me go!"
If this weren't at school, Lu Xiaojun would have really wanted to teach this guy a lesson.
He pushed hard, and the other person fell forward, landing face-first in the dirt.
"Puhahaha..."
Some classmates around him laughed.
Lu Xiaojun sighed and shook his head. What kind of things are these? They're about to graduate and start working. They're not children anymore. Why are they still so impulsive?
"Lu Xiaojun, why did you push someone?"
The girl looked at him with accusations in her eyes.
Lu Xiaojun really wanted to roll his eyes, too lazy to pay any more attention to the others, and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the girl refused to let him pass and reached out to stop him.
"Don't leave, you haven't explained yourself clearly yet."
If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't hit women, Lu Xiaojun would have already done so.
Just as he was becoming extremely impatient, a soft, timid voice came from beside him.
"Lu Xiaojun, um, the teacher is looking for you and wants you to go back to the classroom right away."
Lu Xiaojun was puzzled. Shouldn't the teacher be in the office? Why was he back in the classroom?
However, now was a good opportunity to get rid of these people, so without thinking too much, he strode towards the classroom.
The girl who was relaying the message hurried to catch up. She didn't have Lu Xiaojun's long legs, so she could only jog.
He had walked quite a distance before the girl called out to him.
"Wait a minute, Lu Xiaojun, I was just kidding you. The teacher didn't talk to you."
Lu Xiaojun instantly understood that his classmate had just come to his rescue.
"Thank you!"
The girl waved her hands repeatedly, "You're welcome!"
After saying that, he stood there and gave an awkward laugh, looking a little lost.
Lu Xiaojun knew her; she was a classmate named Ji Xinmin. She wasn't usually very noticeable, and the two weren't very close. Over the years, they hadn't spoken as much as they had today.
"Let's go back to the classroom together," Lu Xiaojun said with a smile.
Ji Xinmin blushed slightly, nodded hurriedly, and a joyful smile appeared on her face.
The two walked side by side, and there was a moment of silence. Lu Xiaojun also felt a little awkward.
He casually asked, "Have you secured a job yet?"
This is just making conversation. Right now, the country needs talent. Good companies are vying to hire graduates like them from Tsinghua University.
The tasks have definitely been assigned.
But Ji Xinmin's answer was, "No, it's still being adjusted."
Lu Xiaojun found it a bit strange; it shouldn't be like this. But he didn't think too much about it, figuring things would be settled soon.
Ji Xinmin glanced at him furtively and asked, "You really refused to stay in Beijing and are going back to your hometown?"
Lu Xiaojun gave a soft "hmm".
Ji Xinmin probed, "Do you have a girlfriend back in your hometown, and you're going back because you can't bear to leave her?"
Lu Xiaojun was stunned. Everyone thought he was crazy, that he was just ignorant from the countryside and that's why he chose to go back. Now, someone actually gave him such a reason.
