The Seventy-Second Section: Drawing Fire to Oneself

  If this world had ifs, wouldn't life be much more beautiful? Lí Luòér lay on the golden-rimmed princess bed with her eyes closed, resting, but in her mind were many whys.

  What are those fragmented scenes that appear every time I have a headache? Is it something I missed or forgot? I can't even tell myself, so who can I expect to tell me? Lí Luòér turned over and knew this wasn't the key point. The most important thing was to find that answer...

  "Miss, young master invites you to go downstairs for dinner." A soft voice came from outside the door, accompanied by three slow knocks.

  Young Master? Alright, Lu Xuan Sheng! I should get used to this title now. Ever since entering this courtyard, everything has really changed.

  Li Lu'er sat up and leaned against the headboard, looked at the clock, it was time for dinner, 6 o'clock.

  "Let's go!" Lí Luòér, wearing slippers, opened the door and saw the little maid bowing her head and quickly retreating to lead the way in front.

  "I'm not unfamiliar with the way, every time someone has to come and call me!" Lí Luòér sat down in her seat, complaining to Lù Xiǎngshèng. As soon as she sat down, the two fat and thin men quickly arranged for a maid carrying a gold-trimmed white porcelain food plate to come forward and set it out.

  Lu Xuan Sheng hooked his lips and smiled, looking at her unwilling face: "Then you pay attention to the schedule from now on, 7 o'clock in the morning, 2 o'clock in the afternoon, 8 o'clock in the evening for meals, and on rest days, lunch and dinner are two hours ahead of schedule."

  "Do we have to be so formal?!" Lí Luò'er muttered helplessly, looking at the maids standing in a line behind him, waiting for them to make the first move before he ate.

  "What is this?! It's all seafood?!" Lí Luòér curled her lip and tapped her temple with her index finger.

  "Today's dinner is: Steamed fish with red flower crab, sea cucumber soup, vinegar flavored mandarin fish lotus root cake, abalone and fresh shrimp roll, sashimi platter......" One of the two fat men stepped forward and reported the dish names.

  Li Luo looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, suddenly feeling a bit full. These were really not her favorite foods, although they looked good, but that seafood flavor was something she really couldn't enjoy. Last time when she had seafood at home, she vomited and had diarrhea for several days...

  "What? Don't you like it?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Luoye's expression and slightly furrowed his brow.

  "It's okay... uh..." Lí Luò ér replied intermittently.

  "Li, let's have a few more Northwestern dishes!" Lu Xiangsheng said without turning his head, his tone somewhat cold.

  The fat chef who reported the dish name wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, responded with a sound, and then led all the people in the kitchen to retreat.

  "Tell them to be more careful with the seasoning in the future, Ah Hua," Lu Xiansheng said, his tone cold and detached.

  "Understood, young master!" Ah Hua replied crisply and led the servants to retreat, but deliberately avoided the positions on both sides of the dinner table.

  Looking at these female servants who were about the same age as herself, Lí Luòér's heart felt some pity. They were of the same age as her, yet here they were, distinguished by their status...

  "If you don't like eating it, just wait a while, no need to force yourself!" Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.

  Li Luo'er nodded, leaning back in her chair, watching them eat. When her gaze fell on Li Chao's body, she really didn't want to admit that was her brother. What a way of eating! Without any regard for image, is it really that delicious...

  Looking at the two black lines on his sister's face, Li Chao still didn't think it was his problem and continued to gobble down food.

  "I don't want to eat anymore, I'll come back when I'm hungry later!" Lí Luòér threw down this sentence and turned upstairs.

  Lu Xiansheng furrowed his brow and looked at Li Chao, who had stopped eating with a puzzled expression, and said with a smile: "Eat up, I'll go take a look later!"

  Li Chao smiled foolishly and started eating again. Although the speed was not as fast as before, he still ate a lot. After the big plate of chicken came up, he even stuffed his belly and had another bowl of rice.

  Lu Xiansheng didn't look back when he went upstairs with Li Lu'er, perhaps in this environment, he regained the feeling of being a young master, that high and mighty, only he is revered.

  After finishing dinner, Li Chao and Chen Zhiquan ran to the study to play games. The two of them were having a great time, holding controllers and sitting on the floor, sometimes quarreling, sometimes making a racket, and pounding the floor with laughter.

  Lu Xuan Sheng slightly furrowed his brow, his expression somewhat unpleasant, but he also didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm. He shrugged at the doorway and lazily headed upstairs to the second floor.

  The door wasn't closed?! Lu Xiansheng concentrated his mind for a few seconds, took two steps back and stopped in front of Li Laoer's door, gently pushed the door, and indeed, this door was not closed.

  "What are you thinking about? So absorbed?" Lu Xiangsheng leaned forward and asked softly.

  "Don't bother me!" Lí Luòér's eyes hadn't even opened, but these words came out. What?! Someone?! Not Lí Chāo?! Lí Luòér's eyes suddenly widened, and only then did she see clearly that the one speaking was Lù Xiǎng Shèng.

  This guy, looking at himself getting angry, didn't get up, and still looked at himself from such a close distance, his mouth corners were smiling, and his eyes also had a smile... Hmm?! A wicked smile! Li Lu'er suddenly turned sideways, flipped to the other side of the bed with a thud, leaned back against her body, and pulled the quilt over herself from under his body.

  "Hehe! I won't eat you again!" Lu Xiansheng stood up, adjusted his clothes, and smiled, looking at her pitiful appearance. In fact, he really wanted to eat her, but after what happened last time, he had to pretend to be calm.

  "What are you doing here?" Li Luo'er asked with a blink of her misty eyes.

  "Helping you with your homework, your science is so poor, I don't want to be transferred to the same class as Shen Kai because of you!" Lu Xiansheng said, pulling out a stool from under the desk and sitting down.

  Looking at Li Luo still curled up in bed, motionless, only blinking her eyes and staring at him dazedly, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head helplessly, moved the chair beside the dresser over, patted it and asked, "Are you sure you won't get down? Are you sure you won't make up for lost time?"

  "Hmph! Who wants you to make it up anyway!" Lei Luo'er glared at him and closed her eyes, pretending to fall asleep.

  Lu Xuan's brow furrowed in annoyance, a sly smile instantly spreading across his lips. This girl wouldn't listen unless she was scared into it! To avoid going to class with Shen Kai in Class 7, it seemed he had to resort to being despicable again! He really didn't know when he started, but apparently setting fires wasn't enough, now he couldn't even put them out...

  He strode to the bedside, lifted the mosquito net, and with both arms around her, directly pulled Li Lu'er's small body into his embrace. Li Lu'er was originally half-reclining, now she became half-kneeling at the bedside, uh, the situation is a bit ambiguous...

  "What are you doing?" Li Luo'er's face turned red, she grabbed his shoulder tightly, her eyes darting around nervously, her body suddenly hot, her whole body was white with a hint of warm pink.

  "What do you think I'd do?" Lu Xiangsheng smiled contentedly, this had already met his expectations. This girl was just afraid of being so carefree in the mountains and waters.

  "Don't do this on the bed... you..." Lí Luòér said with a gulp, turning her head to one side. She knew she couldn't escape, anyway every time she struggled in the end it was up to Lù Xiǎng Shèng's mood whether he would let her off or not.

  "Not on the bed? How about this?" Lu Xiangsheng wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pinning her against the wall. He gazed at Li Lu'er's flustered eyes, and a surge of hot blood rushed to Lu Xiangsheng's head, scorching and boiling.

  Li Luo'er was afraid of falling, tightly grasping Lu Xiang's shoulder, but now it couldn't be said that she was holding on, more like pinching. Her dazed eyes, flustered expression, and trembling body were like a small rabbit fiercely striking Lu Xiang's heart.

  Suddenly, she felt a hard lump in her lower abdomen, pressing and even stirring... She didn't know if it was hot or cold, but her sweat fell like rain.

  Lu Xuan Sheng originally only wanted to tease her a bit, but he forgot that in front of the woman he loved, men sometimes can't control their lower body, let alone now with Li Luo Er wearing a nightgown.

  The sexy lace trim, the thin and soft snowflake material, and the delicate skin that feels like silk to the touch. The sweat drips down her neck, perfectly highlighting the mysterious curve of her chest, revealing a seductive figure she never knew she had.

  "Hmm." Lu Xiangsheng let out a low grunt, really not wanting to care about anything, and just wanted to take her in such a domineering manner. However, his rationality was fighting with his desires, and involuntarily, his hands began to tremble again, because he had to restrain himself from going crazy.

  Li Luo lowered her head and glanced at her chest, where the spring light was shining brightly. It seemed that she had already been seen through by this guy without any reserve. However, she felt his body trembling, and his tightly closed eyes only had his eyelashes slightly moving. Hmm? This guy didn't seem to be trying to bully her or provoke her, but instead, he had set himself on fire? Li Luo felt the pressure in front of her lower abdomen and felt much more at ease in her heart.

  "Go take a bath, or you'll scald yourself to death!" Li Luo'er patted him lightly on the shoulder, with an air of seniority.

  Lu Xuan Sheng opened his hazy eyes, looking at the calm and composed maid in front of him. What?! She was actually smiling... laughing at me! Shit! It seems she knows I'm playing with fire**, but absolutely cannot let her off so easily like this.

  "You lit the fire! Isn't it time for you to put it out yourself?" Lu Xian Sheng hooked his lips into a smile, with a hint of slyness.

  "What's wrong? Can't blame me, go take a bath!" Lei Luo'er looked at his smile and suddenly understood that her attitude just now was really going to kill herself! This guy, obviously wanted...

  "Where did your arrogance go just now? Hmm?" Lu Xiangsheng put her down on the bed, pulled over the pink mosquito net, kicked off his slippers, and pressed himself against her.

  "I, I didn't..."

  "No? Ha!" Lu Xian Sheng cut her off, not waiting for her to continue speaking. His thin lips pressed against hers recklessly, his hands wandering around her waist.

  Li Luo had wanted to resist, but when that soft tongue pried open her teeth, she completely surrendered, electrified by the numbness, unable to say no, she indulged in this private entanglement... just let herself be so unrestrained this once, only this once...

  "Can you take responsibility? You're only in third year of high school now!" Lu Xiangsheng vaguely heard again the warning from Lu Meiyou... He stopped his hand which was already on her thigh, and cursed "Shit! Being followed by a ghost!"

  Lu Xuan Sheng opened his eyes and looked at Li Luo Er's slightly flushed cheeks, gently kissing her forehead. "You like me! Ha! Your body betrayed you!" He got up triumphantly, pulled over a towel to cover her, closed the door and left.

  "Shit! Still have to go take a bath!" Lu Xiangsheng leaned against the door, let out a loud sigh, lit a cigarette and went downstairs.

  Listening to the sound of the door closing, Lí Luòér poked her head out from under the towel and looked around. "Nothing happened?!" Lí Luòér's mind was a blur as she recalled everything that had just happened, feeling both ashamed and indignant, wondering what on earth she had done!!! Good heavens, who could tell her?!
