CH 34
Chapter 34: Celebration
Lu Zheng was domesticated in a timely manner since childhood, so he can be an ordinary person now. But in his bones, he could still see that he was different from ordinary people.
For example, he has no self-awareness of being an elder brother to his younger siblings. When he felt that they were annoying, he would subconsciously make an act of rejection, and he didn’t have too deep an emotional attachment. It’s just a habit to indulge them in their own activities.
But it’s easy to break this habit. After all, there’s nothing to tie him down anymore. Now the whole Lu family belongs to him, and he can do whatever he wants. No one will tell him, “No, you can’t do this.”
Chang Qing asked this question, but Lu Zheng couldn’t answer it. He sidestepped the question, “You came back early, and Mother Zhang didn’t make any soup.”
Seeing him saying this, Chang Qing was taken aback for a moment, and followed his words, “We came back too early, she hasn’t started cooking yet.”
Lu Zheng stood up, tugged at his collar and said to him, “Why don’t we go out to eat together? I’m hungry.”
Chang Qing was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly, “Yes, yes…”
Lu Zheng said, “I’ll go and call Lu Hua.”
Chang Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the two of them were going, but that didn’t seem very good.
Lu Zheng called Lu Hua out. Lu Hua was quite picky about going out to eat, and she had a lot of requests, “I want Japanese food! I heard that there is a Japanese food restaurant that is especially delicious, but I forgot what it was called. Chang Qing, please give me your mobile phone and I’ll ask Luo Nan.”
Chang Qing couldn’t help feeling a little helpless when he heard her still calling his name, but before he could speak, Lu Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the back collar of her clothes. He said in a low voice, ”What name are you calling? Don’t you have any manners? Call him brother.
Lu Hua was wearing a round neck T-shirt today, and being pulled by him like this made her neck uncomfortable, so she struggled. After a few moments, she shouted, “Okay, I’ll call him brother. Stop pulling my clothes!”
Lu Zheng let go of her collar. Lu Hua touched her neck, arranged her clothes with one hand, and said to Chang Qing, “Brother.”
Her face was still a little awkward. “What’s your name, brother? What a nice name. I can call you Qing Qing.”
Chang Qing said, “You still have to call me brother.”
Lu Hua snorted, “Okay, big brother, big brother.” After a while she said, “…I miss third brother a bit.”
Both Chang Qing and Lu Zheng were stunned. It was obvious that they had forgotten Lu Shi.
But Lu Hua only mentioned it casually. Missing her third brother wasn’t more important than eating. She said happily, “I haven’t gone out to eat for a long time. I want to eat steak, oysters, and foie gras with matsutake mushrooms. I also want to drink. No red wine or white wine, sweet wine is fine.”
Finally, she concluded, “Let’s go to the western restaurant we often go to! The food is most authentic there. ”
Lu Zheng said, “I won’t eat western food today.”
Lu Hua was taken aback, “What do you want to eat then?
Lu Zheng said, “Eat hot pot.”
Lu Hua frowned, “No, no, I’ll have diarrhea after eating this.”
Lu Zheng looked into her eyes, “I want to eat hot pot.”
Seeing that the two of them had their own ideas, Chang Qing had a headache, and said to Lu Zheng, “Let’s eat Western food. I’m a little uncomfortable and I can’t eat spicy food.
The minority obeyed the majority, and Lu Zheng glanced over him and said reluctantly, “Okay. Let’s eat Western food.”
Shang Shu was always on call. Lu Zheng sat in the passenger seat, and the back seat was reserved for Chang Qing and Lu Hua.
“Fasten your seat belt.” Lu Zheng told them.
Chang Qing remembered the lesson. As soon as he got in the car this time, Lu Zheng fastened his seat belt before reminding him.
Lu Hua also fastened her seat belt skillfully, and then said to Lu Zheng, “Second brother, I think you are very handsome today.”
Lu Zheng ignored her.
Lu Hua was not discouraged and tried her best to flatter him, “Second brother, I really think you are handsome, like Prince Charming. If I weren’t your sister, I would definitely like you very much…”
Chang Qing glanced at her. “What are you doing?”
Lu Hua turned a deaf ear to his words, and continued to blow rainbow farts like a lark, “Second brother, I thought you were handsome before, tall and well built, attracting the attention of the world. You’re the brightest star in the night sky. You are perfect from head to foot, flawless.”
After she finished speaking, she paused, as if she wanted to see Lu Zheng’s reaction.
Lu Zheng gave face this time. He said, “Go on, let me see how much vocabulary you have.”
Lu Hua: “…”
Lu Hua didn’t care about him. She seemed to say sincerely: “You’re really handsome. I’m incredibly proud of myself for having this handsome, elegant and graceful brother.
Chang Qing couldn’t help laughing.
Lu Hua turned her head and glared at him. There was infinite meaning in her eyes, summed up as-“We’re teammates.”
Chang Qing said: “I think your sister is right.”
Lu Hua nodded with satisfaction, “Brother Qing Qing also agrees with my point of view. Second brother, you are really handsome. Everyone recognizes that you are handsome and invincible.”
Lu Zheng finally became impatient. “Just say it. What’s the matter?”
Lu Hua grabbed the backrest of the seat in front of her and tried to stretch her head towards Lu Zheng, “… Second brother it’s like this. Our school has an anniversary celebration. I signed up to play the piano.”
She didn’t finish her words in one breath. She paused here as if she wanted to see Lu Zheng’s reaction.
Lu Zheng: “So?”
Lu Hua said, “So can you come?”
Lu Zheng glanced at her through the rearview mirror, “What would I go there for? I don’t know what kind of weight you have. Do you want me to lose face?”
Lu Hua was unconvinced: “I’m at least at level 10. What can I do to embarrass you? I’ll give you a long face!”
Lu Zheng glanced at her faintly, but said nothing.
Lu Hua paused and endured the humiliation. “Second brother, please come. I want you to give me flowers.”
Lu Zheng said, “I don’t have time.”
Tears immediately appeared in Lu Hua’s eyes, “You won’t come to the parent-teacher meeting, so you should come to the school celebration, right?”
Lu Zheng was completely immune to her tears, “Giving flowers? Shang Shu.” He called Shang Shu.
Shang Shu said in a loud voice: “Here.”
Lu Zheng said: “You run over and offer her flowers.”
After a pause, he added: “Let Zhongyi and the others come too.”
Zhongyi and the others were all Lu Hua’s bodyguards. There were five of them, the most powerful men. They were all soldiers, and two of them were very handsome. That was why Lu Hua was so happy- it gave her double the face!
Shang Shu said, “Okay, what kind of flowers do you want, or do you want one of everything?”
Lu Hua’s face was full of reluctance, “No, second brother, you are more handsome, I want you to give me flowers!”
Lu Zheng said impatiently. “No.”
Lu Hua’s tears flowed even more and she said in a crying voice: “Second brother, just promise me this time, right? I won’t call you to the parent-teacher meetings in the future, but will you come this time?”
Lu Zheng was silent, as if hesitating.
Lu Hua saw hope and continued to work hard, and Chang Qing also came in handy at this time. She pulled Chang Qing and said in a hoarse voice, “Brother, why don’t you come too?” You are also good-looking. Come to the show with my second brother. Many people in our school will perform in the talent show. Luo Nan wants to dance the national standard, , Qin Yixin is going to play the zither and Bao Shizhen is going to act in Grandet’s stage play…”
She folded down her fingers as she counted off and felt that it was their loss if they didn’t come, “…and that Wang Shiling! She’s our school’s flower now. I asked her and she’s dancing ballet. Ah, she is short and not as beautiful as I am. She actually became the school flower. It’s really true that children nowadays are too easy to be bought. Obviously, no one is short of money, but they chose her to be the school flower really unethically…”
Chang Qing listened to her endless chatter, but felt it was very fresh. Lu Hua is only 13 years old and is still studying. Just saying a few words about campus life or study life gave people a sense of vigor and vitality..
Chang Qing originally listened quietly to her twisting the topic to Siberia without realizing it, but suddenly thought of something that made him unable to help but interrupt Lu Hua’s endless topic divergence, “… Speaking of which, how are your grades? The parent-teacher meeting has already been held, so your midterm exam results have also come out, right? ”
Lu Hua instantly became speechless like a little chick caught by the throat.
Seeing her expression, Chang Qing felt bad. Sure enough, Lu Zheng said, “She can’t even memorize multiplication formulas. How good are her grades?”
Chang Qing: “……”
Lu Zheng said: “In the sixth grade, I asked her how much 36+45 is equal to, and she calculated 71. I said you say it again, and she immediately changed her mind to say 80.”
Chang Qing: “…”
Lu Hua said with shame: “It was an accident! I don’t usually do that. Ahhhh, stop talking! I’m not as bad as you say! I can get an 81 in math now! “
Lu Zheng said: “Her total score is 150, hehe.”
Chang Qing twitched his lips and said, “Actually, it’s not bad. At least you got half the marks.”
Lu Hua also agreed, “Yes, it’s good to get half of the test score. It’s not that bad, right? I often get full marks in English.”
Chang Qing said sincerely: “This is already better than half of the people in China. I never got a perfect score on my highest English test.”
Lu Hua didn’t feel guilty and said confidently, “Look, he hasn’t even got full marks in the exam. I have a full mark in one subject. I’m smarter than him.”
Chang Qing asked again, “What about Chinese?”
Lu Hua waved her hand and said with great righteousness: “It’s enough to be good at one thing. You always have to give others a chance to perform!”
Okay, it seems that the Chinese is also terrible.
Chang Qing didn’t continue to ask, and Lu Hua didn’t really want to go deeper into this topic. She remembered her original purpose and said to Lu Zheng, “Brother! Are you coming or not? Please!”
Lu Zheng was indifferent. “I won’t go.”
Lu Hua was discouraged. She looked at Chang Qing, “Are you coming or not!”
Chang Qing said, “Coming, I’ll do it.”
Lu Hua looked at him and sighed: “You’re ok, too. You’re a little worse than my brother. I’ll dress you up so that you can become the most dazzling star.”
Chang Qing laughed, and his tone became gentler, “What flowers do you want?”
Lu Hua said: “Roses, of course I want red ones and it needs to be an extra large bouquet.”
Chang Qing said, “Okay, an extra large bouquet. Will it be reimbursed?
Lu Hua: “…”
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes, “I’ll give reimbursement.” After a pause, she changed her tone: “Don’t get one too big. Medium sized is good. I can’t hold it if it’s too big.”
Chang Qing’s eyes curled up with a smile. He was good-looking, and he smiled like a spring flower in full bloom, with a fresh and beautiful look.
Lu Hua looked at him and smiled. She felt her eyes were dazzled. She averted her gaze but couldn’t help but glance at him again. She mumbled, “This looks pretty good. It’s much better than before.” She was finally able to take him out.
Lu Zheng looked at them through the rearview mirror in front of him. Chang Qing’s almost indulgent smile also caught his eyes. He frowned slightly and quickly averted his gaze.
The author has something to say: two more! !!! There is one more !!! Thank you for your support.! I’m laying the groundwork, getting into a good place to… ~

T/L: Please enjoy these 2 chapters. I’ll be busy and away from a computer for most of the next month so this is the end of a regular update schedule for a bit. I’m going to try and schedule a once a week update while I’m gone so this novel doesn’t just stop updating entirely. It should be for either Wednesday or Thursday. The posts will go up but some of the arrow buttons might not be working till I get back and fix them. Anyway- I hope everyone has a wonderful October and I’ll see you in a few weeks!
