Lu Nan, his face dark, picked up his pillow and went to sleep in the living room.
The next day, when he opened his eyes, Jiang Chuan was already dressed, holding a knife in his hand, sitting at his feet.
Lu Nan, sporting dark circles under his eyes and looking exhausted, asked, "Is this really necessary?"
Jiang Chuan kept Cheng Sheng's teachings in mind: if he could avoid speaking, he would absolutely not speak. After thinking for a moment, a small, slightly stiff smile appeared on his lips.
Lu Nan shuddered, grabbed his pillow, and quickly walked away, muttering, "Bad luck."
In the cafeteria, Lu Nan, biting into a fried dough stick, looked at the person in front of him with a resentful gaze.
Jiang Chuan remained calm, took out his phone, tapped a few times, then put it back and lowered his head to eat his breakfast.
"Give up. No matter what you do, I will not agree to go."
Jiang Chuan acted as if he hadn't heard him and ignored him.
Lu Nan felt like he had punched cotton, which did no harm to Jiang Chuan at all, and he himself was extremely frustrated.
"goodbye."
Jiang Chuan suddenly spoke, and Lu Nan was taken aback for a moment before asking uncertainly, "Aren't you coming with me?"
Jiang Chuan's lips curled into a subtle smile once again.
Lu Nan was granted a general amnesty.
In the cafeteria, a refined-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was looking around. When he spotted a silhouette of someone happily eating a fried dough stick, he immediately jogged over.
"Good morning."
Lu Nan's smile froze when he heard the voice.
This is never going to end, is it some kind of endless cycle of attacks?
Chen Jin sat down opposite him, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Where do you want to go this morning? I'll go with you."
Lu Nan's face was dark and sullen, showing no desire to speak.
Chen Jin, not wanting to make a fool of himself, sat silently to one side.
Lu Nan felt something was off and looked at the young man in front of him with suspicion.
Why isn't he saying anything? The same goes for Jiang Chuan just now. Is this some kind of new tactic?
"What's wrong?"
As he was lost in thought, Chen Jin looked up, his gaze already shifting from his phone.
Lu Nan was taken aback and asked, "Why aren't you watching me?"
Those two guys used to stare at him like glue, except when they were eating, sleeping, or going to the toilet.
That's quite offensive.
Chen Jin smiled shyly, "Ah, I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable if I stare at you. Or do you like being stared at? It's a little strange, but it's not impossible..."
"No need for that."
Lu Nan continued to bite into the fried dough stick and sip his soy milk.
This guy wasn't as annoying as the other two.
Four hours later, Chen Jin politely said goodbye to him, "See you tomorrow."
Before Lu Nan could react, another familiar face had already entered his field of vision without any refusal.
Lu Nan's words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
"Hello, it seems I haven't formally introduced myself to you yet. My name is Celine."
11:00 AM.
However, the sweltering heat had passed, and the air was slightly cool, causing Lu Nan's fingernails to turn blue from the cold.
Lin Xi naturally handed over her coat, "It's a bit cold, put this on."
After the apocalypse, his parents disappeared, most likely killed by zombies. Since his sister passed away, no one had cared about him like this for a long time, and they even bought him a coat.
Lu Nan subconsciously took it, unfolded it, and looked at it; it seemed somewhat familiar…
Isn't this his own?
Just as he was about to explode, Lin Xi finally spoke up to explain, "Jiang Chuan found this in your dorm."
He gritted his teeth, "You guys are really... Who told him to rummage through my things!"
The tiny bit of emotion that had just popped into my head vanished instantly. I really didn't believe him!
However, upon seeing Lin Xi's face, his anger dissipated by more than half.
They look so alike...
He didn't even dare to look closely.
He turned his head awkwardly, put on his coat, and then, feigning indifference, stiffly said, "You do your own thing and don't bother me."
Lin Xi swallowed back all the persuasive rhetoric he had just prepared in his mind.
Why does it seem like Cheng Sheng's method is useless? Aren't they just wasting their time?
However, Lin Xi does have one redeeming quality: he's obedient. If he says not to make noise, he really doesn't.
Lu Nan couldn't contain himself and asked her first, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Lin Xi asked curiously, "Are you going to treat us?"
"Just tell me what you want to eat, stop with the nonsense."
Lin Xi completely ignored her and continued to ask, "Is it possible to have whatever you want to eat?"
Lu Nan opened his mouth, his voice choked with emotion, and managed to utter a soft "hmm" through his nose.
When his younger sister was still in junior high school, he went to pick her up after she finished her college entrance exam.
"Brother, I'm so hungry."
What would you like to eat?
"Can you have whatever you want to eat?"
When she asked that question, the fatigue from a week of studying vanished, and her eyes shone with excitement. But he would never see his sister like that again.
Finally, Lu Nan took her to eat fried chicken.
These days, fried chicken and milk tea are rare and incredibly expensive.
So she enjoyed this meal very much, although it upset her stomach and caused her some pain. However, it was much better than the intense nausea she used to feel as soon as she took a bite.
Do you remember when you said you'd take me to get bubble tea?
"Can you still eat?" Lu Nan asked, deliberately avoiding eye contact. "Maybe next time, I'm out of money."
Lin Xi was puzzled. Had she really bankrupted him with just one meal? Surely not?
"My sister used to love drinking this."
There was no further development of Lu Nan's story.
Lin Xi was even more confused. What did this have to do with him being broke?
What she didn't know was that Lu Nan had been drinking a glass of wine almost every day since his sister died.
In today's world, this kind of behavior is tantamount to burning money, which is why Lu Nan is very poor.
Lin Xi glanced at the chicken bones in front of her and suddenly felt a little guilty. She hadn't expected that this meal would bankrupt him.
"Then what will you do for food afterwards?"
Lu Nan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this. We can still afford to eat, but we don't have any extra money for other expenses."
Lin Xi was finally relieved.
In the last ten minutes, Lin Xi was sending a message to Cheng Sheng.
Lu Nan suddenly spoke up, "Actually, you and she are completely different."
Lin Xi paused, then belatedly realized that he was referring to himself and his sister.
“Beibei is much more mischievous than you.”
Lin Xi didn't speak. Yun had said that Lu Nan might transfer his feelings for his sister onto her, but at first she didn't quite believe it.
Looking back now, I realize I was the only one who didn't get scolded and even got a free meal.
Every time Lu Nan looked at her, his gaze was still filled with guilt.
He really did treat her like a younger sister.
After sending the message, Lin Xi put her phone away. "Actually, I'm also looking for my brother. Lu Nan, I'm thinking, if what happened between you two happened to me, and my brother was like you, I wouldn't be able to die in peace."
Lu Nan raised his head.
