Cheng Mingyue looked at Lu Chen's worried expression and burst out laughing.
"Ah Chen, you forgot. I can kill wild boars, how could I be bullied by others?!"
Hearing that she was being bullied, Lu Chen finally felt relieved. He also secretly laughed at himself for being so concerned that he forgot how tough his Mingyue was.
The two walked side by side, and Lu Chen still asked with some concern.
"So, I just heard that you were going to compete with someone, and that the loser would have to expel him from school. What's going on here?"
"I forgot to tell you before, it's Professor Gu. Do you remember? The Professor Gu who was previously transferred to the Baihe Brigade?!"
Lu Chen nodded and asked doubtfully: "I remember him, does he have anything to do with this matter?"
"Well! Professor Gu wants to accept two apprentices in our school, and I'm one of them. But some people think I'm new to medicine and don't have enough experience, so they're naturally dissatisfied. So I took the opportunity to propose this condition."
After listening to Cheng Mingyue's explanation, Lu Chen frowned: "You proposed it? Why?"
Cheng Mingyue did not hide anything and told the story of Yang Lei abandoning his wife and children, and she did not forget to add a sentence after she finished speaking.
"For a shrew like him to dream of becoming a disciple of Professor Gu and rising to prominence is sheer fantasy!"
Lu Chen looked at Cheng Mingyue beside him, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
His Mingyue is too jealous of evil, so he should be more restrained in his actions in the future, otherwise he will scare people away and he will have nowhere to cry.
Then the two of them walked back to the courtyard, chatting casually.
As soon as the gate was opened, Ye Wanzhen from next door ran in hurriedly.
"Mingyue, my son sent me a telegram saying he'll be back soon. You should be ready to be my goddaughter!"
Seeing that the old lady really cared about her, Cheng Mingyue couldn't bear to disappoint her, so she walked over with a smile and took her arm.
"Aunt Ye, it really doesn't matter whether you marry your daughter or not. As long as the relationship is good, those are just empty names."
Ye Wanzhen said seriously, "That won't do. If I say I'll take you as my goddaughter, then I'll take you as my goddaughter. Even the gods themselves can't change my mind."
"Okay, as long as you're happy." Cheng Mingyue smiled helplessly.
Ye Wanzhen looked around at Cheng Mingyue and Lu Chen, and immediately saw Lu Chen, whose eyes were glued to Cheng Mingyue. She thought she should stop being a third wheel, so she chatted for a few more words and then hurried back to the next room.
As soon as Ye Wanzhen left, Lu Chen quickly closed the gate, picked up Cheng Mingyue and ran into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, he put Cheng Mingyue on the kang and was about to approach her, but Cheng Mingyue stretched out her arms and supported her on his chest.
"Ah Chen, stop messing around. I have to be busy studying these next two days. I can't lose this competition no matter what. Do you understand?"
When Lu Chen saw Cheng Mingyue's serious expression, he knew that he would have to eat vegetarian food for the next two days, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation.
Lu Chen hated Yang Lei, the culprit who prevented him from eating meat, to death.
She was crying in her heart, but it didn't show on her face. Instead, she looked at Cheng Mingyue with a distressed look.
"Mingyue, don't worry about your studies. Leave everything at home to me for the next two days."
"Okay, take care of yourself these two days."
Then she gave Lu Chen a look that told him not to disturb her unless it was necessary.
In this way, Cheng Mingyue hid in the space to read and study again, and Lu Chen was the only one left in the room. He gritted his teeth in annoyance.
"Damn Yang Lei!"
If you have the ability, then ask Professor Gu to accept you as his disciple. What's the meaning of making things difficult for Mingyue? Are you picking on the weak?
This is too much!
Lu Chen, who was furious, practiced military boxing in the yard for half the night until he was too tired. He stopped and didn't even eat dinner. After washing up, he lay straight on the bed.
Lu Chen's thoughts had already flown away, and Cheng Mingyue's figure was all in his mind. He tossed and turned until the second half of the night before he finally fell asleep.
Cheng Mingming in the space was also very busy. He was busy reading, practicing calligraphy and acupuncture, and finally started to make medicine pills.
The pills she made this time were more effective than the ones she gave to Fu Zheng.
She remembered that Lu Chen had said that he would be going on a mission in a while, so she might as well do more and take them with him when he went on the mission, so that she would feel more at ease.
For two days, Cheng Mingyue was busy in the space, but Lu Chen outside the space really felt like the days were passing by so slowly.
I had a quick bite in the morning and was about to go out when Ye Wanzhen came over again.
"Lu Chen, where's your Mingyue? Didn't she cook today? Why can't I smell anything?!"
"Mingyue is going to compete in medical skills with someone, so she has been busy reading and studying these past two days."
Lu Chen's face was a little cold.
He was not as easy to talk to the old lady next door as he was to his daughter Mingyue. He even felt that the old lady recognized his daughter Mingyue as her goddaughter just to get free food and drinks.
Ye Wanzhen was startled by Lu Chen's cold face. She thought he must have misunderstood something, and hurriedly explained dryly.
"Please don't misunderstand me. I really don't mean any harm. I just care about Mingyue and worry if she's sick."
"Whatever you mean, you can't disturb her these two days!"
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he locked the door and turned away.
Looking at Lu Chen's back, Ye Wanzhen was completely speechless.
It’s true that she wants to eat the food cooked by Mingyue, but she is also really worried about Mingyue!
Lu Chen didn't care whether Ye Wanzhen was wronged or not. In his heart, this old lady was just a neighbor.
He is going to go to Heizi's place now.
When Lu Chen went to Heizi's house this time, he found that his floor was as clean as if it had been licked.
"Brother, how about it, are you satisfied now?!"
Heizi raised his dark face, as if he wanted Lu Chen to praise him.
Lu Chen just nodded lightly and asked about the sales of vegetables and fruits.
"Brother, this batch of goods is simply too good to be true. As soon as it hit the black market, everyone rushed to buy it. It's already sold out in just a few days. My subordinates have reported that people have been asking when the goods will be available again."
Lu Chen's expression remained unchanged, his voice cold: "Tell them that the time is uncertain."
"Brother, if there is a source of goods, please quickly ship another batch. That way we are sure to make a lot of money." Heizi was very anxious.
"Do as I say, and I'll let you know when the stock is available!"
Lu Chen didn't bother to say a word and turned to leave.
When he reached the gate, he seemed to remember something and turned around to ask, "How's the thing I asked you to do before going?"
Heizi was stunned for a moment, then met Lu Chen's dark eyes, and he suddenly understood.
"We'll be closing in soon, don't worry, big brother, we'll definitely get it done cleanly!"
Lu Chen said nothing more and strode away.
After leaving Heizi, Lu Chen did not return to the courtyard, but took the bus back to the Lu family.
