Chapter 31 Preparing for Frozen Hands!

On Wednesday morning, Lu Zhaoye woke up early again, though he hadn't slept at all the night before...

The terror of last night is still vivid in my mind. I dare not sleep, not even for a minute. I was so scared that I cried!

After brushing his teeth at home, Lu Zhaoye casually wiped his face and then went to Luo Xiao's house.

I knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

Perhaps he was still asleep, Lu Zhaoye flung open Luo Xiao's bedroom door and called out loudly,

"Luo Xiao, get up, it's time for school!"

In fact, Lu Zhaoye could have just left, but he was unwilling to accept it.

Why is it that just because they're separated by a wall, Luo Xiao can sleep soundly and comfortably, while he has to toss and turn all night, unable to sleep?

"Hey, get lost, you dog!"

Luo Xiao's hoarse voice came from the bedroom.

Lu Zhaoye looked around the living room, checking to see if any traces had been left from last night.

After ensuring everything was in order, Lu Zhaoye opened the door to Luo Xiao's bedroom and said irritably,

"Hey, Luo Xiao! Still sleeping? Do you think you're some kind of pampered young lady?!"

All that could be seen was Luo Xiao's one fair leg dangling outside, her toes round and smooth.

Moreover, the girl seemed to be wearing very little; she was only wearing a thin white tank top on her upper body.

As the girl turned over, Lu Zhaoye once again vaguely saw a hidden holy light, as sacred and untouchable as the bright moon in the sky.

"Hey, what time is it? You bastard!"

Luo Xiao glanced at the time with sleepy eyes, then cursed.

Then, the next second, she noticed Lu Zhaoye standing at the doorway, and screamed.

"Get out!"

Lu Zhaoye realized what was happening, hurriedly closed the door, and called out guiltily.

"Oh, I've seen that a lot since we were kids. Didn't you see me back in middle school?"

Luo Xiao, exasperated, shouted "Get out!" again.

Lu Zhaoye closed the door and ran away. He was a little worried about Luo Xiao's mental state, after all, the handcuffs he saw last night were in the cabinet next to him.

"..."

Lu Zhaoye left home and went to a general store across from the school.

Chen Ziniu and Xiao Zifang have arrived; they had arranged to meet here this morning last night.

Actually, this grocery store was one of their strongholds, and gang fights had taken place here many times before.

In the evening, petty thugs from the north and south would stop here briefly to reminisce about their youthful recklessness.

It's just that it's morning now, and this is a general store that sells breakfast.

"Fatty, are the photos printed yet?"

Lu Zhaoye asked Xiao Zifang, who was lying on the old man's chair pretending to be asleep.

"All done, boss, here you go."

Xiao Zifang rubbed his eyes and took out a bag of packaged high-definition photos from his pocket.

Lu Zhaoye looked at each one one by one, and was very satisfied.

Both Su Cheng's and Xu Ziqing's faces were captured in the photos, and Su Cheng's guilty and nervous expression clearly indicated that he was doing something wrong.

"Good job, Fatty."

Lu Zhaoye put the photos away with satisfaction and stuffed them into a compartment in his backpack.

"Boss, what's next?" Chen Ziniu asked as he walked over.

Xiao Zifang also stood up, waiting for Lu Zhaoye's next instructions.

However, Lu Zhaoye cheerfully asked the grocery store owner for three baskets of steamed buns, then turned around and gave a wicked smile.

"From now on, eat well and don't catch a cold."

"..."

When Lu Zhaoye and the other two finished breakfast and arrived at the classroom, it was just time for morning reading.

The classroom was deathly silent. Most of the boys were asleep, and some of the physical education students were hiding in their dorms and hadn't come at all.

Lu Zhaoye returned to his dragon throne with his schoolbag on his back and glanced at Xu Qingwan, who was quietly reciting her lessons.

The half-wall that had been blocking her view on the table had disappeared, and now it was empty again, visible as soon as she looked up.

What a stubborn woman! She even said she wasn't attracted to my body!

Lu Zhaoye glanced around, then leaned closer and whispered,

Is reciting silently efficient?

In Lu Zhaoye's experience, if you want to memorize quickly, you have to speak aloud; otherwise, it's very easy to get distracted.

Maybe you'll just fall asleep while memorizing it.

Xu Qingwan was obviously aware of this as well, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head.

Lu Zhaoye's lips curled into a smile.

"If you want to memorize your lessons well, come with me."

After saying that, Lu Zhaoye picked up his Chinese textbook, stood up, and walked out of the classroom through the front door.

Xu Qingwan's pupils dilated, and she felt a little scared.

She glanced around cautiously, and finding that no one seemed to care, she mustered her courage and followed them out.

Their class, Class 7, was on the second floor, at the far west end of the east-west corridor. Moving east from their class were Class 6 of the second year of high school, Class 5...

Actually, none of them were good classes; the teachers patrolling the buildings never came to their floor.

Because those teachers knew that rather than hoping that someone in their class would strive for excellence and achieve great things, it was better to check if the food in the cafeteria was up to standard.

This is realistic and true; they were abandoned long ago.

Lu Zhaoye led Xu Qingwan to the end of the corridor. It was quiet there and wouldn't disturb anyone, making it a perfect place for her to study alone.

"You can recite your text here; you can speak it aloud."

Lu Zhaoye leaned on the railing, letting the morning breeze caress his face.

Xu Qingwan leaned against the wall, mimicking Lu Zhaoye, and secretly glanced at him, fidgeting shyly...

Lu Zhaoye didn't turn around, but chuckled softly.

He picked up his Chinese textbook and began to recite aloud some of the classical poems and prose that would be on the test.

As the boy's voice rang in her ears, Xu Qingwan's heart calmed down considerably. She picked up her English book and slowly began to speak...

Their voices were not loud; you could only hear each other.

As for the rest, they had long been shattered by the summer winds of May and scattered throughout the corridor.

Just as the two were reciting their lessons without disturbing each other, Lu Zhaoye suddenly noticed someone walking out of his class.

It was Wen Ningning. She first glanced at Xu Qingwan, who was leaning against the wall, then gave Lu Zhaoye a meaningful look before going downstairs.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoye snorted coldly, shoved the book into Xu Qingwan's hands, and then prepared to follow.

Where are you going?

Xu Qingwan took the book and hurriedly asked a question, her voice trembling slightly.

Lu Zhaoye turned around and comforted the timid kitten.

"I'm going to the restroom, I'll be back soon to help you with your studies."

"Don't be afraid, the teacher won't come up."

Xu Qingwan's emotions were immediately diverted, and her face turned bright red.

"Who needs you to come with me..."

"Then I won't be coming back~"

Lu Zhaoye's voice drifted away, and his soft laughter carried far on the breeze.

Xu Qingwan shook her head, and quickly said as she watched the boy's figure disappear.

"No!"

"......"

At the entrance of the public restroom, Lu Zhaoye and Wen Ningning stood facing each other.

"You're getting along really well with the class representative. I knew you, Lu Zhaoye, wouldn't be clinging to me like that."

Wen Ningning said in a sarcastic tone.

Lu Zhaoye picked at his ear, somewhat impatiently. Why were all these ordinary women saying the exact same thing?

"We're done. Get lost. Just tell me what you want from me."

Wen Ningning was too lazy to bother with it. Lu Zhaoye was just a fish she kept in her pond; if he ran away, so be it.

"Then I won't waste any more words. You clearly went home with Xu Ziqing last night, so why didn't you do as I said?"

Lu Zhaoye frowned, quietly slipped his hand into his pocket, and turned on the recorder.

"I don't understand what you mean. What do you want me to do?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I'd let you bully Xu Ziqing, and then let Su Cheng play the hero and save the damsel in distress!"

Wen Ningning said angrily, her face contorted with rage.

"Aren't you worried...?"

Lu Zhaoye quickly stopped him, saying that he couldn't say such a thing, since the recording pen was on.

"I already told you to wait for me, what's the rush?"

"No, you have to give me a specific time today. Su Cheng can't wait!"

Wen Ningning said angrily.

"Don't worry, Su Cheng won't treat you badly. Take this thousand yuan and split it with your brothers."

Wen Ningning took out ten 100-yuan bills from her pocket and stuffed them into Lu Zhaoye's hand.

Lu Zhaoye smiled and accepted the money, looking thoughtfully at the thousand yuan in his hand.

Wen Ningning thought it was because there wasn't enough money, so she added more.

"Don't worry, he'll give you another three thousand yuan after everything is done."

Lu Zhaoye gave a wicked smile. "All done. Time to close the net."

"Alright, then let's do it tonight. Let Su Cheng follow me around tonight."
