Chapter 32.1
When the old Li couple arrived at Lu Yuling’s house, the two youngsters were eating cake, so Lu Yuling hurriedly took new plates and cut two pieces of cake for Mr. and Mrs. Li.
Mr. and Mrs. Li were still angry, but as they couldn’t show it in front of the two children, they just held back their anger and started to eat cake.
Mr. Li took a bite of the cake first and then asked Lu Yuling, “Have you and your mother been in Xifu all these years?”
Li Xining was confused and worried when her grandfather brought up Lu Yuling’s mother again. She was worried that what her grandfather said would bring back painful memories for Lu Yuling.
But Lu Yuling reacted calmly and said, “No, my mom brought me back when I was five.”
Realizing Lu Yuling’s mood had not changed, Li Xining felt much better and let out a big breath.
Mr. Li understood clearly. ‘No wonder… I had been looking for Rongyue for so long but couldn’t find her.’ He sighed lightly and said in a family-like manner, “Thank you for celebrating our little one’s birthday today. By the way, have you celebrated your birthday this year?”
The old man thought that Lu Yuling was about three or four months older than their granddaughter, and his birthday should be only one month different from Zhao Cichu’s. He wanted to ask it so he could check and be sure.
Lu Yuling answered honestly, “It’s passed. July.”
Mrs. Li understood her husband’s question and quickly asked, “What day is it in July?”
Lu Yuling said, “July 13th.”
Zhao Cichu’s birthday was at the beginning of August. The Li couple calmly looked at each other, feeling angry at Zhao Hailan again. They thought he was a terrible person.
After finishing eating the cake, the old couple suggested going home, and Lu Yuling walked them downstairs.
Before going, Mrs. Li said to Lu Yuling, “You need to pay attention to your safety when you are living alone. Don’t forget to lock the door before going to bed at night. If you need help with something, call us ahead of time. We will be nearby and arrive fast. If you’re too afraid to be alone at night, you can come to our house.”
Lu Yuling felt pleased and a bit puzzled. “Oh. I’m not scared, anyway, thank you.” He didn’t know why Li Xining’s grandparents were so caring. They were not family, so he felt a bit shy when they were so caring towards him.
Li Xining was also a little unsure. She thought her grandparents were acting weird today. ‘Why did they ask Lu Yuling to come over all of a sudden?’ But she was too shy to ask in front of Lu Yuling. Instead, she said to Lu Yuling, “When you get home from work this afternoon, you need to do the questions I gave you two days ago. They are all exam questions, and 80% of them will be original questions for this monthly exam.”
Lu Yuling promised. “Don’t worry, I will definitely read it.”
Li Xining was still feeling anxious and was warned again. “If you don’t show any improvement in this monthly exam, you won’t succeed in the future. Let’s have a conversation about it then, okay?”
Lu Yuling said, “…”
Princess Lu was sensitive about his grades and was too scared to talk or act sassy, so he had to accept the punishment without any tricks.
Additionally, the Li couple was also there, so he did not dare to say anything.
However, hearing his granddaughter’s words, Mr. Li was dissatisfied. “Don’t be mean. You should be supportive before the exam and not scare him,” he said.
Lu Yuling kept on nodding.
Mrs. Li said nothing; she just smiled and watched the fun.
Li Xining was really mad because she thought her grandfather was just causing problems. She told her grandfather not to make trouble and said Lu Yuling was not the kind of person who could improve with encouragement.
Princess Lu was upset this time. “Why are you saying that I can’t improve with encouragement?” he asked with a pout.
Li Xining gave him a mean look and said, “If encouragement really worked, you wouldn’t still be in the 800th place.”
Lu Yuling learned the lesson and went to complain to Mr. Li, “Grandpa, don’t you feel uncomfortable hearing what she said?”
‘Are you still going to complain in front of me?’ Li Xining was very angry and grabbed Lu Yuling’s arm.
“It hurts…ah…it hurts.” In fact, the twisting didn’t hurt at all, and Li Xining was a girl, so no matter how much force she applied, it wouldn’t hurt. However, Lu Yuling groaned, and he covered his arm and complained. “Grandpa, did you see it? She abuses me like this every day, and my life is miserable.”
Mr. Li could see that this kid was purposely making trouble for his granddaughter and didn’t want to get involved in the kids’ fight. He chuckled and said, “That’s how she is. She learned it from her grandma.”
This time Mrs. Li got mad, and she gave the old man a death glare. “Old man, what are you trying to say?”
Mr. Li was shocked for a moment and then said, “No… I’m just talking and playing with the children; I don’t mean any harm.”
Old Mrs. Li ignored the old man and cursed. “You are such an annoying person. D*mn it!” Then she turned around and got in the car.
Li Xining got angry when she saw this and yelled at Lu Yuling. “You are so annoying. You are a big annoying person!” Then she went into the car with her grandma.
The old man and the young man both got shocked and stared at each other with a confused expression.
Finally, Mr. Li broke the silence and sighed helplessly. “We are going. Please pay attention to your safety, and if anything happens, call Xiaoyao.”
Lu Yuling nodded and spoke to Mr. Li first. He said, “Goodbye, Grandpa,” and then bent down to face the car window and said to the old lady. “Goodbye, Grandma.”
Although Old Mrs. Li was angry, she still had a good attitude towards Lu Yuling. “Okay, bye; you pay attention to your safety.”
“Yes.” After saying goodbye to Mrs. Li, Lu Yuling took two steps forward, reached the passenger side, and gently knocked on the closed window.
Li Xining originally didn’t want to talk to him, but she also wanted to know what he was going to do in the afternoon, so she lowered the car window halfway and looked up at Lu Yuling, but did not take the initiative to speak.
Lu Yuling smiled, lowered his eyes, looked at her, and opened his lips. “See you tomorrow.”
Li Xining still had a straight face, but she still cared about him and warned him. “Tomorrow is the monthly exam; don’t forget to bring your admission ticket; otherwise, you won’t be able to enter the examination room.”
Starting this semester, to allow the third-grade students to adapt to the college entrance examination environment in advance, the school has implemented a comprehensive approach. Therefore, even monthly exams were conducted as extensively as the college entrance examination. As an example, the school would give an admission card to each candidate, and if someone forgot to bring it or lost it during the exam, they would not be allowed to enter the examination room.
Lu Yuling replied in a serious tone. “I know.”
Finally, Li Xining asked the question she wanted to know. “Where are you going this afternoon? What are you doing?”
Lu Yuling raised his brows slightly with a proud look in his eyes. “I won’t tell you.”
‘This b*stard!’ Li Xining glared at him angrily. “I don’t want to know yet!” After saying that through her teeth, she closed the car window without even looking at him.
Lu Yuling sighed lightly. ‘Oh, you can be awesome to me in the whole world, but what else can I do?’
Mr. Li walked to the car, opened the door, and finally said to Lu Yuling, “Go back, let’s go.”
Lu Yuling: “Okay,” but he stood still and watched the black car drive by. When the car was out of sight, he turned around, but instead of going home, he went to the bicycle shed.
The candies he bought before were almost finished. In the afternoon, he was going near the junior high school to buy candies for the little tigress.
In the past, he didn’t know whether Little Tigress liked durian, so he bought fewer durian-filled candies. Now that he knew she liked it, he would buy more for her from today onwards.
Have a nice day!
