Chapter 109 Nobles 7
"Then come find me when you've killed down to just one of them." Lu Xuejin glanced at him with a smile and pulled her hand away.
As for the carefully prepared meal, he didn't eat it in the end.
...
The anonymous confessional forum remains as lively as ever.
But besides the discussion about special admissions students, another person became the focus of attention that day.
Is Pei Gou coming back?
[That mad dog from PW? Wow, they released him so quickly. The Pei family really isn't going to bother with him anymore.]
[Who did he kill before he was taken away? It's unlikely he was a special admission student; those lowly people just die.]
[…Bro, you think you're an emperor? Wake up! This is a society governed by law. Even nobles are breaking the law if they commit murder.]
It didn't get to that extent; they just beat a few people from certain families so badly they ended up in the hospital.
"However," but surprisingly, this wasn't a big deal for Pei Wei at all.
[This mad dog is lucky he was born into the Pei family, otherwise he would have been chopped up and thrown into the sea long ago.]
"When he gets back, things will get interesting."
“Lu Chen, keep an eye on him. As long as he doesn’t leave Silver Oak, he can go crazy as he pleases. It’s best to keep him away from Lu Xuejin. He goes crazy as soon as he comes into contact with her. How could I have given birth to such a crazy son?”
The man's cold voice on the phone gave the order, his disdain and disgust for his own son evident in his words.
"If anything happens, contact Pei Cheng. He's in charge of that kid."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen changed his clothes and hurried towards the school gate. If he kept Pei Wei waiting too long, Pei Wei might start acting crazy at the school gate, making the Pei family look bad, and his salary would be reduced.
The Pei family ignored Pei Wei, letting him run wild in private as long as he didn't cause any public embarrassment. Silver Oak became an ideal place to "detain" him. At Pei Wei's age, he should have been in the second year like Lu Xuejin, but the Pei family used several violent incidents caused by Pei Wei to make him repeat a year, which also caused Lu Chen to repeat a year as well.
Having received a salary from the Pei family for a year, Lu Chen still couldn't understand the Pei couple's coldness and disregard for their only biological son, even though Pei Wei was indeed quite neurotic.
Not far from the school gate, a large crowd was gathered in front of the activity room building. Lu Chen glanced over instinctively, assuming some club was holding an event. But as his gaze swept over the people behind the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, Lu Chen involuntarily stopped in his tracks.
He stared blankly upwards like a dazed goose.
Lu Xuejin wore only a simple white silk shirt, the collar slightly open, revealing his beautifully shaped collarbone. Bright light poured down on him without reservation, making his already dazzling long hair appear like flowing gold.
He tilted his head slightly, his cheek pressed against the instrument, his thick, long eyelashes drooping, casting a small fan-shaped shadow beneath his eyelids. His long hair flowed freely, and his arm holding the bow was outstretched. Even without hearing the music, his ethereal posture alone was enough to evoke the clear and melodious sound of the instrument.
"You come here to practice the piano, so the president must be a male bodhisattva!"
"He's so good-looking, he must play the violin beautifully too. But why is there a guy behind the student council president? Why is this special admission student like a ghost, following the president wherever he goes?"
"Hehe, the special admissions students are eating so well! They get to admire the president's beauty up close, even seeing his adorable fluffy hair! And they get to hear him play the violin so closely too. You know, no one has ever heard the president play the violin before; he's the first! The president's first time! My heart broke when I said that TT"
"I will transmigrate into the body of a special admissions student."
All she could hear were bold and absurd remarks made by people who took advantage of Lu Xuejin's inability to hear, and some even made dark speculations:
"It was Chen Mo who deliberately sent Jin Bao here to play the violin. Jin Bao has her own private space and doesn't need to show her face here. Chen Mo has ulterior motives and wants to show off to us and demonstrate her special status."
If silence could hear the speculations of the people downstairs, one would surely feel innocent as well.
Helplessly, he let the horrifying sound enter his ears—Lu Xuejin wasn't playing the violin at all, but rather sawing the violin with a bow. Heaven knows how such slender and beautiful fingers could produce that kind of sound.
The people outside the glass window looked like silly geese, their faces full of longing and curiosity yet unwilling to show it, creating a strange and funny state.
No wonder Lu Xuejin took the initiative to suggest coming here.
Its eyes seem to be looking at the strings, but they are actually peeking out the window, making it look like a black and white upside-down cow cat—its body is pure white, but when you lift it up, it reveals its dark belly.
His silent gaze softened involuntarily, and even the hoarse, mocking sounds made him find Lu Xuejin's every move incredibly adorable.
Outsiders only see his elegant demeanor and would never imagine that his real voice is so "wonderful".
It was the same in the past. In the eyes of other humans, Lu Xuejin was gentle, kind, and flawless, practically an angel reincarnated. Only he knew how many cute and wicked little thoughts lay beneath Lu Xuejin's innocent appearance.
They will hate everyone equally, will play endless pranks when the mood strikes, and will skip class under the pretext of patrolling.
He observed this beautiful woman with great eagerness, becoming infatuated with her every smile and gesture, trying to decipher the meaning behind each of Lu Xuejin's smiles and blinks.
As researchers focused most of their attention on Zhu Can's body, Silent's performance in ability tests became increasingly unsatisfactory. They had to admit a fact: with age, the influence of the intangible on Silent's genes was gradually fading, and he was becoming more and more like a human, rather than the qualified product the laboratory expected.
Being marginalized is a natural consequence, but this suits the silence perfectly.
He longed to abandon his silent body and completely immerse himself in the crimson light.
For the first time in all his years, he experienced the joy of having a physical body, because only then could he touch Lu Xuejin's warm skin, feel the hot blood flowing beneath it, and sense the wind that Lu Xuejin stirred up when she blinked, so vivid and beautiful.
To outsiders, he was a mad dog who was not to be trifled with and who would fight with deadly force. But to Lu Xuejin, he was just a follower who would lag behind her by half a step.
He and Lu Xuejin colluded to find "fun" for him, making him show a genuine smile.
For a time, he almost forgot his identity, thinking that he and Lu Xuejin were a fallen nobleman and the son of a socialite, and that the two of them were sticking together for warmth in the gloomy and cold public school.
They even thought they would follow the human path of love, from school to wedding.
—Yes, although there has been no related discussion, Silent believes that they were already in a relationship at that time.
The union of intangible things is full of wildness. Even among the same species, it is often accompanied by brutal fighting and struggle, until the strongest is chosen from the corpses.
Lu Xuejin's willingness to let him stay by her side was, in a silent sense, already a form of acceptance.
However, Lu Xuejin is different from other intangible beings; he also has a mother.
Silence had once seen that infamous lady from afar.
Unlike the noblewomen of this country who favored extravagant clothing and glamorous makeup, Lu Yangfeng was wearing only a simple black dress, her hair was tied up, and her face was unadorned. She was so plain that she didn't resemble the witch that others described as having countless nobles at her feet.
She held up a large, black umbrella, which completely shielded Lu Xuejin from the sunlight.
Lu Xuejin was about shoulder height at that time, but Lu Yangfeng still looked at him like he was a child. He would make Lu Xuejin stand up straight and help him straighten his messy hair; he would pat Lu Xuejin's head and ask him how he was doing at school.
They were just like an ordinary mother and child.
Lu Yangfeng's aura was also very ordinary, with no trace of anything unusual about him.
She is clearly a human, so why did she give birth to a child with the aura of an invisible entity? Could it be that Lu Xuejin is not her biological son, or that there is something wrong with Lu Xuejin's father?
This made the silence involuntarily think of the laboratory.
The initial experimental design involved placing tissue from an intangible substance into the mother's uterus, but this design was quickly scrapped because it was too inhuman.
However, Lu Xuejin's aura was pure and powerful, far surpassing that of a laboratory-born bastard like him.
Silent thought to himself, "Let's wait and see. When the time is right, I'll confess everything to Lu Xuejin."
Having lived in human society for so many years, he has also learned the importance of honesty and fidelity between husband and wife.
Intangible beings have no concept of birthdays, and Lu Xuejin had never celebrated her birthday during those years, but coming of age seems to have a more unique significance for humans. Silence had already learned to buy gifts, and at that time he was struggling with what to give Lu Xuejin for her coming-of-age ceremony.
Before she could even come to a conclusion, during what seemed like an ordinary holiday, Lu Xuejin disappeared, along with Lu Yangfeng and all the rumors they had left behind in aristocratic circles. A howling blizzard buried everything.
Silent wanted to find them, but the laboratory was disrupted by external factors, and he was almost destroyed. In the end, he survived because his weak but almost ordinary abilities were deemed harmless, but he was too badly injured and lost his host.
With the guarantee of a highly respected senior researcher, Silence was sent to the border, stripped of her number, and given a formal, human name.
Life on the border was peaceful. General Shen was a serious man, but he was kind and gentle to the younger generation.
Relying on his status as the illegitimate son of the Shen family, he lived a rare period of peace in silence. He didn't have to participate in experiments every day, nor did he have to pretend to be obedient. During this long period, apart from searching for Lu Xuejin, he even needed to pass the time by reading books—even though he couldn't understand them.
He knew that General Shen didn't trust him at heart. Even if he tried his best to avoid prejudice and vigilance, the wise old man still couldn't accept an outsider from the bottom of his heart.
Silent understanding.
After General Shen's death, he stayed behind to protect the Shen family. The empire was wary of him, and the border citizens revered him, but he knew that what those people revered was a human being, not an alien.
He kept searching for Lu Xuejin, but he couldn't find him no matter what he did.
Until that day when he went hunting in the dense forest, he pointed his gun at the clean, white prey, and the prey saw him through the gun barrel.
The liquid between his lips was bright red. As he stood up, the naked young man appeared in the scope. His blue eyes looked over with a faint smile, and the gloomy world was ignited, regaining its color.
finally found you.
In that instant, he heard the voice of destiny.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuejin didn't recognize him, and he didn't dare let Lu Xuejin know that he was Zhu Can.
Having lived in the human world for so many years, Silent has learned a great deal about the marriage rules of human society. He found that he was completely unworthy of recognition in the past. He was plain-looking, thin, and from an ordinary family. He couldn't make a splash in the marriage market. Although he is still just average now, at least he is a general, which is something he can be proud of in terms of status.
He quickly registered his marriage with Lu Xuejin under the pretext of guarding dangerous objects. Lu Xuejin obediently played the role of a wife who was being imprisoned in disguise, remaining silent and cooperating with his game.
After discovering that Lu Xuejin was gradually becoming boring, he racked his brains to make her happy. Just then, the Empire was itching to deal with him, and Lu Xuejin jokingly served him a sweet soup.
His wife made this for him!
Silent thought this was a good opportunity to add some freshness to the marriage, so she accepted it without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.
