Chapter 32 Big Brother, do you want to eat my meat?
"Xu Qingwan, let's go..."
Lu Zhaoye called out to Xu Qingwan, who was still blankly reciting her lessons, that the morning reading session was about to end.
Xu Qingwan, who was huddled in the corner silently memorizing her lessons, had actually been keeping an eye on the movements of the stairs.
She was both nervous and excited as each person walked past her.
Hearing Lu Zhaoye call, she quickly ran over, tilting her chubby baby face up.
"Aren't you going to memorize your lessons anymore?"
Lu Zhaoye pulled his Chinese textbook from the girl's arms.
"Yeah, get out of class is about to end. If you don't eat, I still need to go eat."
Xu Qingwan pouted and could only nod, feeling a little disappointed.
"......oh."
"How about I bring you to recite your lessons every morning from now on?"
Xu Qingwan's eyes lit up, and she was about to agree when Lu Zhaoye, who had taken the lead, murmured another sentence.
"But we're about to be divided into classes, and I feel like you can make it into the advanced class this time."
Xu Qingwan suddenly felt a sense of loss and a tightness in her chest. Her mouth opened slightly, but she didn't know what to say.
"Alright, you'll have to keep a close eye on me these next few days, just in case I make it too."
Lu Zhaoye turned his head and grinned at the dazed Xu Qingwan, giving her a hearty laugh.
"..."
"Boss, what do you want with us?"
While everyone was having breakfast, Lu Zhaoye called Chen Ziniu and Xiao Zifang to a blind spot in the surveillance cameras on the second floor.
"It's something very important! Especially for you, Fatty!" Lu Zhaoye said solemnly.
Xiao Zifang scratched his head. "It's alright, boss. Just leave it to me. Don't worry about getting tired!"
Lu Zhaoye grinned, his mind full of mischief.
"The boss is harvesting crops tonight, your task is... to stall Luo Xiao."
"No!"
Xiao Zifang immediately waved his hand, saying, "What's the difference between this and killing him?"
"Boss, stop messing around! If that devil Luo finds out I'm lying to her, she'll twist my head off and kick it around like a ball!"
Seeing Xiao Zifang instantly put on a mask of pain, Lu Zhaoye quickly went over and hooked his arm around her shoulder.
"Fatty, listen to me. Only you can handle this. Whether you can help the boss bring down Wen Ningning depends on you."
"Look, tonight I'm going to expose Su Cheng's evil deeds. There are many things you don't know, right? Only I can do it."
Xiao Zifang was on the verge of tears, feeling that even the devil's whispers were nothing more than this. He pointed at Chen Ziniu, who was watching the show from the sidelines.
"Why didn't you ask Niu Zi to go?"
Chen Ziniu's body trembled, and the gloating smile on his face vanished instantly.
"Niu Zi won't do. Luo Xiao has only bribed you, so she'll definitely trust you more."
Chen Ziniu, standing to the side, quickly echoed this sentiment and joined in the persuasion.
"Fatty, if you've taken care of this, I'll cover your late-night snacks next week!"
Lu Zhaoye didn't hesitate either, clapping his hands.
"I've planned the activities for Saturday night after we get a break. I'll take you guys to an internet cafe first, then a massage!"
A glint flashed in Xiao Zifang's eyes. After considering it for a moment, he agreed.
"Boss, don't worry, I definitely won't let that demon Luo bother you!"
Lu Zhaoye didn't want to make things difficult for his brother, so he gave Fatty a suggestion.
"After class that night, you went to their classroom and told them that someone had challenged you to a fight, and that they shouldn't go home."
"Don't worry about the rest. I'll explain it myself after I'm done."
Xiao Zifang nodded and wrote down what Lu Zhaoye said.
"Boss, what about me? What am I supposed to do?" Chen Ziniu asked.
Lu Zhaoye turned his head and smiled slightly.
"No rush, let's talk about it at noon."
Then came another morning of tedious classes.
Thanks to the cat's relay of obstruction, Lu Zhaoye managed not to sleep through a single class.
At noon, Lu Zhaoye first handed the recording pen to Chen Ziniu and assigned him a task.
Then they went to the cafeteria and bought two meals, mentioning Xu Ziqing's small room.
When Lu Zhaoye passed by the advanced class this time, he took a look at the situation inside.
Su Cheng sat near the window in the corridor, not eating lunch, just holding a book and not moving, not knowing what he was doing.
Lu Zhaoye cursed inwardly.
No wonder I always felt like someone was watching me when I delivered lunch to them at noon.
But it's okay, after today, you won't have much time left sitting in this position.
"Xu Ziqing, Big Brother is here! Open the door quickly."
Lu Zhaoye called out softly, without even knocking on the door.
Lu Zhaoye heard the sound of a white cane tapping on the ground coming from inside, and then the door opened the next second.
"Big brother...you're here!"
Xu Ziqing's lips curled up slightly, like a young wife waiting for her husband to come home.
With time running out and the task heavy, Lu Zhaoye didn't waste any words. He grabbed the girl's arm, closed the door, and walked inside.
"Hurry up, big brother is starving, let's eat!"
Xu Ziqing, unusually, didn't say anything and obediently sat opposite Lu Zhaoye.
"Come on, let's eat! Are you starving?"
As usual, Lu Zhaoye handed the portion with more meat to Xu Ziqing, smiling broadly as he spoke.
Xu Ziqing took it, nodded, and then asked a question.
"Hey bro, how's your friend doing?"
This was a lie that Lu Zhaoye made up to deceive Xu Ziqing when they came over for lunch yesterday.
At the time, he didn't know about Su Cheng's situation, but he did know that Luo Xiao was going to arrest him that night.
Therefore, Lu Zhaoye spoke to Xu Ziqing in advance at noon.
A friend of mine had an accident and can't come tonight.
But my brothers will still come to take you home. Don't be afraid, they are good people.
That's exactly how they scammed us.
No problem, and the girl nodded in agreement.
"Haha, it's nothing, you're still alive."
Lu Zhaoye said without batting an eye.
"Oh, that's good," Xu Ziqing nodded.
Then, quite out of the blue, he said something else.
"Brother, I bought them roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) yesterday."
Lu Zhaoye let out a soft exclamation, and said with delight,
"You even bought them delicious food?"
Xu Ziqing smiled, her two pretty dimples radiating a warm glow.
"Brother, they bought me roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and I bought them roujiamo too, so does that mean we're... even?"
Lu Zhaoye was amused by the girl's rather peculiar thought process; she really was a silly rabbit.
"It's not even."
"what?"
Xu Ziqing sighed dejectedly, her two dimples disappeared, and she pouted.
"Okay then, I'll... buy them another one next time, okay?"
Lu Zhaoye suppressed a laugh and pretended to be very sad as he said,
"Sigh, I wasn't talking about them, I was talking about how we haven't settled things even yet."
The silly rabbit tilted her head, but she quickly realized what was going on.
"Big brother, you're fooling me again..."
Lu Zhaoye blinked innocently and said matter-of-factly,
"But I've never eaten the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) you bought for me, have I?"
Xu Ziqing was speechless, a look of anxiety appearing on her face.
"Big...Big brother, don't worry, I wanted to buy it for you alone tonight, not with them."
Lu Zhaoye shook his head in protest, then quickly added, "No, I want to eat now."
Xu Ziqing was at a loss, as she didn't have any roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) with her.
"But...it's not available now."
Lu Zhaoye's lips curled into a smile, his eyebrows arching like crescent moons. "Isn't that what you're holding?"
"The one in my hand?"
Xu Ziqing murmured something, and the next second she realized that Lu Zhaoye was talking about the meat in her bowl.
But... wouldn't that be a bad idea?
However, my older brother is really good to me.
Moreover, this meal was brought by my older brother.
But this is really not a good idea.
But it wouldn't hurt to let my older brother have a bite, would it?
Lu Zhaoye originally only wanted to tease the girl, and he also figured that Xu Ziqing would not do anything so ambiguous.
Until, the girl scooped up a piece of meat with a spoon and held it to his mouth...
"Big...Big brother, are you...are you going to eat?"
