Yang Mei was packing her stuff when she heard a knock on the door. She turned her head to find Lu Xuan standing at the door of the ss.
“Come in, ” Yang Mei smiled. “The school is over. I was about to leave. If you hadn’te on time, I would have left. I thought you forgot about yourptop.”
Lu Xuan scratched his head. It wasn’t that he had forgotten about taking his stuff from her. It was just that he knew that she liked to eat something when school got over. For that thing only, he went to the school cafeteria to buy something for her.
“The maths teacher took extra time, ” Lu Xuan said with an embarrassed smile. Oh, he couldn’t tell himself that the maths teacher had to leave ss early because of some personal matters. He just spends all this time selecting something for her to eat.
“Oh yeah, I heard you are in ss A of Eleven grade. The teachers always take extra time, ” Yang Mei said with a nod.
“Umm…how do you know?” Lu Xuan ended up asking.
“My dad works in this school and I got admission here through a special quota, ” Yang Mei exined. “That year, I had won a musicpetition and Jingyuan High epted my admission form because of that reason alone. I wasn’t in the top ss because I was quite average in my studies. But you are in ss A of eleven grade, it means you are good in studies.”<sub>.</sub>
Lu Xuan only smiled. It was good that she only knew good things about him. She must not know about his dark history in Jingyuan High school. What if someone told her that he was a gangster in the school? His eyes widened in fear. No, no, she couldn’t know this.
He had an urge to smack himself. Who had asked him to be a gangster?
Since he already was a gangster and there was nothing he could do about it. He could still stop people from badmouthing him on the school forum or before her, right?
“This is yourptop, ” Yang Mei said as he handed him hisptop. “Why did you bring it to the ss? Try leaving these things at home. What if you lost it? Yourptop looked quite expensive.”
“Okay, ” Lu Xuan agreed but he was already thinking of leaving something at music ss.
“This is for you, ” He handed her a burger and bottle of juice.<sub></sub>
“What’s the need of that?” Yang Mei asked.
“You helped me, ” Lu Xuan immediately said.
“No, I can’t ept it, ” Yang Mei said with a smile.
“Please, Miss Yang, ” Lu Xuan insisted. “My dad gifted me thisptop on my birthday. If I had lost it, I would be very sad,after all, it’s something my dad gave me with a lot of love and blessings. You don’t realise the gravity of the situation if I had lost it. I can’t thank you enough. Please ept my gratitude in the form of this burger and juice. Please.”
Seeing how the boy was so sincere, Yang Mei didn’t have the heart to say no to him. Wasn’t it just a burger and juice? She should not break the heart of a child, right? As an elder, she should set good examples.
“Then, I will have to thank student Lu for this, ” Yang Mei smiled as she took the burger and juice bottle.<sub></sub>
“Student Lu?” Lu Xuan looked here and there as if he was looking for someone here. “Are there other students too?”
Yang Meiughed. “No, I mean I have to thank you, student Lu Xuan.”
Although she found a middle ground, he was still happy about it.
“Miss Yang, can I ask you about the musicpetition you are preparing students for?” Lu Xuan asked her.
Yang Mei got excited. She sat on the chair while he took the desk next to her and exined him about the musicpetition that the students were preparing for. She was exining with great enthusiasm, making gestures with her hands and she looked so passionate about her work. He had never found anyone more beautiful than this woman. She looked like a goddess when she talked about music.
While she was exining, he was sitting here with his elbows on the desk and his chin ced on his palms.
He didn’t care about being an idiot at this moment.
“Student Lu Xuan, can you dance?” Yang Mei asked.
Lu Xuan, who was in a daze, was blinking his eyes from time to time.
“You can?” Yang Mei asked again. When she realised that he was lost somewhere, she waved her hand before him. “Student Lu Xuan? Student Lu Xuan?”
“Yes?” Lu Xuan came out of his trance when he heard his voice again.
“Excellent!” Yang Mei pped her hand. “Since you can dance, why don’t you join the students in thepetition? Apart from the musicians, we need a group of dancers for thepetition too. Why don’t youe to me in the morning and I will give you a form to sign?”
Lu Xuan blinked his eyes. Dance and him? He didn’t recall dancing anytime in his life. How could he dance? No, he couldn’t dance at all!
What if he danced and she realised that even a monkey danced better than him?
No, no, he couldn’t do it.
He couldn’t drown his ship beforeing into the water. He had to do something. He had to say no before he could make a fool out of himself.
“Please, Lu Xuan, ” Yang Mei added when she saw theplicated look on his face. “We really need help at this moment.”
Only now did Lu Xuan understand what it meant when someone said that a pleading tone of a woman could bring the King of the world to its knees. Imagine, what would happen if the woman pleading was as beautiful as an immortal fairy.
“Okay, Miss Yang, ” Lu Xuan found himself saying with a smile that suggested his spring had arrived.
‘You are screwed, Lu Xuan. You are so much screwed.”
