Chapter 3 Childhood sweethearts
Los Angeles, September 1
"Good morning, Xiao Lu!"
Just as Lu Chen closed the door of the room, a familiar voice was heard from the corridor.
His reaction was almost instinctive, and without even turning his head he grabbed the hand that was trying to touch his head.
It was as if he had practiced this move countless times.
"Xiao Ye, I've told you many times that a man's head is like a girl's feet. You can't just touch it casually."
Lu Chen pulled out the key, turned around, and gave the girl in front of him a displeased look.
In response, the girl stuck out her tongue and acted cute in a playful manner.
The girl has delicate features, a ponytail, and a pair of big watery eyes that stand out, revealing an indescribable agility.
She is the kind of energetic girl who makes people feel better at a glance.
The girl's name is Mu Xiaoye. She is Lu Chen's childhood sweetheart and lives on the floor above this building.
It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up. He never expected that the little girl who could run around with a lollipop when he was a child has grown into a bright and charming girl next door.
Although Lu Chen has become much quieter due to the huge changes ten years ago.
But when facing her, Lu Chen still showed some rare youthful vigor.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Xiaoye not only did not reflect on himself, but his eyes rolled, as if he had thought of some clever idea.
"Xiao Lu, are you hinting that you want to touch my feet~"
"???"
Lu Chen looked at the quirky Mu Xiaoye and didn't expect that she could say such amazing words.
After a moment of surprise, Lu Chen hurriedly let go of Mu Xiaoye's wrist, fearing that he would be misunderstood by the neighbors who were getting up early to go to work.
Then he turned and walked towards the corridor of the residential building.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoye hurriedly chased after him.
"Don't go, don't go, you haven't answered my question yet!"
"Don't follow me. I'm afraid mental illness is contagious."
"Hehe, you don't even dare to look me in the face, and you still say you're not secretly in love with me!"
"…As long as you are happy."
Mu Xiaoye looked at the speechless Lu Chen, her eyes smiling into crescent shapes, looking very cute.
So...you still haven't answered me, hehe.
Luocheng No. 1 Middle School, at the school gate.
"Xiao Lu, what have you been playing all this time? I see you've been playing all the way."
Mu Xiaoye looked down at Lu Chen's phone, looking very curious.
Although they were childhood sweethearts, Lu Chen was not going to tell anyone else about "True Cultivation of Immortality".
So he replied calmly: "It's a stand-alone game to kill time."
"You're already in your third year of high school, do you still have time to play games?"
“…This is one of my ways of practicing.”
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoye shook her head in an air of being contemptuous, her smooth black ponytail swaying.
"Xiao Lu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you can lie to others about certain things, but don't lie to yourself."
"I was deceived by you. It doesn't matter if I believe you. I can just laugh it off and it will be over."
"But if you fool yourself, you really won't be able to laugh during the college entrance examination."
Lu Chen looked at Mu Xiaoye with a smirk on her face, and he knew that she was taking advantage of the situation to deliberately "hit" him.
So he put away his phone and said expressionlessly, "Well, what you said makes sense, but I suddenly remembered that when someone was six years old and came out to dry his quilt, he seemed to be talking about accidentally knocking over a water cup."
"But what decent child would drink water in bed? There are some things that you can lie to others about, but if you..."
"ah!!!"
Seeing that Lu Chen was about to talk about his dark history, Mu Xiaoye quickly covered his mouth with her hands and suppressed him with her chest.
Lu Chen continued to struggle, trying to fight back hard and regain his strength.
The two of them started pulling each other back and forth at the school gate.
On the one hand, you want to talk about the other person's dark history, but on the other hand, you don't want the other person to talk about it.
Hurting each other is the eternal theme between childhood sweethearts.
However, the tug-of-war between these "friends" took on a completely different meaning in the eyes of other students around them.
You should know that Mu Xiaoye not only has outstanding appearance, but is also a student in the Tiandao class of No. 1 Middle School and is extremely popular.
And what about Lu Chen?
He has average talent, average family background, and his cultivation is at the bottom even in the Humanitarian Class.
The only thing he has is his handsome looks.
But can good looks be used to make a living? At least most people think not.
After all, in the world of the Immortal Alliance, only cultivation is the kingly way.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, there is a huge difference between Mu Xiaoye and Lu Chen, and they should not be together.
Looking at the two people's "intimacy" as if no one was around, some people were envious to the point of feeling jealous, while others were filled with hatred, as if someone had stabbed them in the heart.
The person who hated her so much was Mu Xiaoye’s classmate in the Tiandao class—Chen Hua.
"Student Mu, why are you still hanging out with this rubbish from the Humanity Class? Be careful he might lead you astray."
Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye, who were playing, stopped immediately and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Lu Chen looked at Chen Hua, who did not hide his hostility towards him, but his heart was very calm.
If I were to ask who in the entire No. 1 Middle School in the city disliked me the most, it would definitely be Chen Hua.
Because his admiration for Mu Xiaoye was almost known to everyone.
The relationship between him and Mu Xiaoye is also known to everyone.
As such, he naturally wanted to step on me to get to the top more than once, especially when Mu Xiaoye was around.
However, every time this happens, Lu Chen doesn't need to do anything, someone will stand up.
"Chen Hua, what do you mean? You'd better take back what you just said, or don't blame me for targeting you in the mock exam three days later."
"By the way, I don't know you well, so don't talk to us if you have nothing to do."
"Xiao Lu, let's go and ignore this idiot."
Lu Chen looked at Chen Hua who was speechless after being retorted by Mu Xiaoye, and shook his head secretly in his heart.
Why bother? It's like this every time.
For some reason, Chen Hua just likes to humiliate himself in front of Mu Xiaoye.
It seemed that only this could highlight his excellence and her own wasteness, making Mu Xiaoye look at him with new eyes.
But what he didn't know was that his relationship with Mu Xiaoye was far more than just childhood sweethearts.
If he hadn't been there ten years ago, Mu Xiaoye might have become a pile of dry bones in the ruins.
Moreover, the reason why Lu Chen became an orphan and why he only had low-grade spiritual roots were all closely related to what happened back then.
Mu Xiaoye owed him too much.
Although Lu Chen did not take what happened that year too seriously, Mu Xiaoye obviously did not think so.
She always felt an indescribable sense of indebtedness towards Lu Chen.
Therefore, whenever Chen Hua wanted to suppress Lu Chen, Mu Xiaoye would always stand up first.
Even if she didn't know it at first, once she knew it, she would definitely get back at Lu Chen.
The fact that Lu Chen can live such a comfortable life in No. 1 Middle School is not unrelated to Mu Xiaoye.
After all, everyone knows one thing.
That is, you can offend Mu Xiaoye herself in No. 1 Middle School, because she is generally a person with a good temper and won't take it to heart.
But if you offend Lu Chen, Mu Xiaoye will remember you for the rest of your life and will help Lu Chen get you back when she gets the chance.
Everyone knows that behind Lu Chen, who is at the bottom of the human class, stands a genius girl who is among the top three in the heaven class.
Only someone as stubborn and hormonal as Chen Hua would try to challenge this again and again and never get tired of it.
Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Chen Hua secretly clenched his fists with a determined look in his eyes.
"Mu Xiaoye, I will use practical actions to prove who is the most suitable person for you."
He was going to give Lu Chen, who ranked last in the humane class, a small shock to the heavenly class in the mock exam, so that Mu Xiaoye could see clearly that Lu Chen was just a weakling.
But what Chen Hua didn't expect was that a man who was addicted to games was also planning to show off his strength in the mock exam.
Give everyone a little external shock.
This mock exam is destined to be turbulent.
