Section 73: The Handsome Male Counselor

  Lu Xiansheng came out of the bathroom with a red glow on his face, pulled out a light blue towel to wrap around his lower body. Blue! His favorite color, also the color that can calm people down. At this time, besides taking a bath, what he needed was a quiet mind.

  He casually brushed away the water droplets on his hair, lazily sitting in a rattan chair sipping coffee that had been brewed for some time.

  European-style floor-to-ceiling windows may have countless benefits, but for him, it just broadened his horizons a bit.

  He smiled slightly, gazing out the window at the lush green lawn reflecting the last rays of sunset, and seemed to be in a daze, sipping his coffee, as if watching the sunset, as if watching the green grass.

  "Wow! Big loss!" A sharp-eyed maid covered her mouth and exclaimed, getting excited.

  "It's really the young master!" The little maids who came over at the sound all started blushing and their hearts racing, even in the Shanghai Lu family compound, they had never seen Lu Xiangsheng naked in front of people before.

  They were excited like they were looking at exhibits in a cabinet, and even more like they had discovered a treasure that they had been longing for but couldn't possess. Indeed, under the sunset's bath, Lu Xiangsheng's muscles seemed even more solid, his facial features were so clear-cut, especially with the intoxicated expression he had now, which was so infectious to people's hearts.

  "I don't know what kind of person that girl is, but she's got our young master calling her 'miss'! Hmph! Looks like she's going to be staying at home and not leaving!" The maid said with a bit of sourness, while also proudly sticking out her own chest.

  "It's all for her sake that you're staying here, so calm down, kid!" The second maid was more aware of the situation.

  The appearance of Li Luo'er added a touch of melancholy to the hearts of these naive young girls. In their eyes, Lu Xiangsheng was a prince-like god, and they all wanted to possess him for themselves, not allowing anyone else to touch him. However, they were also clearly aware of their own identities as inferior people, and now their complaints and gossip could only be used to comfort themselves.

  "Ah! What are you doing?" Chen Zhiquan stormed into the room, yanking the curtains shut. With a "whoosh", the curtains were violently pulled together, swaying back and forth.

  "What's wrong with you?" Lu Xiangsheng raised his eyes and stared at him, his cold gaze piercing through the soul.

  "Wow! You're talking about me? Look at yourself now, and then look downstairs! Are you trying to defy the heavens? Planning to live naked? Hahaha...” Chen Zhiquan snatched the coffee from his hand and downed it in one gulp.

  Lu Xuan Sheng furrowed his brow, lifted the edge of the curtain with his index finger, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at him, helplessly shrugging his shoulders.

  "Monsters are different from humans!" Chen Zhiquan muttered a word and fell onto Lu Xiansheng's bed.

  "Damn it! Get up for me, come here without changing your clothes or taking off your pants!"

  "You don't like me being gay, what clothes should I change into? What pants should I take off? Haha!"

  Lu Xuan Sheng's face turned black as he listened to these words, and he helplessly used a towel to wipe down Xia Tianyuan's rural life.

  "Are we going to Lai Luo's house to collect things tomorrow?" Chen Zhiquan turned over, propping up his head to ask him.

  "Ahua has already arranged everything, you don't need to worry about it. If you really have nothing better to do, then think about how to deal with Bai Shi. I think I've completely lost my temper towards that girl, if I encounter her again doing something, I think I'll directly go and kill her..." Lu Xiangsheng said, his tone gradually becoming cold and detached, the playful glint in his eyes disappearing, replaced by deep-seated anger.

  "Women? Unbeatable! Haven't you heard the saying? In this world, only women and petty men are hard to raise. If you can't defeat a petty man, then let a woman deal with him!" Chen Zhiquan said with a shake of his head, although it was a bit unorthodox, but in Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, it was the truth - petty men and women, but women were even more ruthless and harder to deal with.

  "Are we just going to wait with our eyes wide open?"

  "Waiting for the wool, waiting! My god, I found that your IQ is getting lower and lower! Is it true that men and women in love are equal to zero? Chen Zhiquan sneered at Lu Xiansheng with disdain from the bottom of his heart. This guy was completely different from before, he used to be the one who made decisions, now he's the one who takes orders."

  "Cut the nonsense!" Lu Xiangsheng glared back at him, then continued: "I think it's better to just go with the flow. Luo'er's headaches have been getting worse lately, I don't know if she'll remember anything from before. Grandpa still needs medical treatment, and Yunni has to accompany him. She's already in her third year of high school, and unlike us spoiled brats, for her, studying is the only way to change her fate. I think it's better to focus on tutoring her to study hard, especially those science subjects... some of them are just pitiful."

  "I like this phrase 'being content with whatever one encounters', haha, originally it's just 'water flows downhill, soldiers come and generals block', what is there to be afraid of? I don't believe it, can't we two big men protect her? As for tutoring, you go ahead, I think I've had enough, I've finally recovered my youthful capital, let me enjoy it for a few days before considering anything else!" After finishing speaking, Chen Zhiquan patted his butt and immediately slipped away.

  Looking at Chen Zhiquan's energetic back, Lu Xiansheng's knotted brow wanted to knot even more. Tutoring homework?! It sounds simple, but it's really not easy to do!

  It's wrong to blame myself for being too reckless in the past, but it's also not necessarily true that Liruo'er is too attractive. If I didn't like her, perhaps in other people's eyes, she would just be an ordinary girl who can't get any more ordinary.

  Tutoring? Looks like I need someone's help now, who should I choose? Only him!

  "Li Chao, come out!" Lu Xian Sheng stood in front of Li Chao's door and shouted. Seeing no one responding, he directly pushed open the door and went in.

  What kind of sleep is this kid sleeping?!

  "Get up!" Lu Xiangsheng shouted at him from beside the bed.

  Li Chao opened his eyes dazedly and mumbled: "What's wrong, Xuan Sheng?"

  "Get extra lessons!"

  "Extra lessons? What extra lessons?" Lei Chao asked while getting up and washing his face.

  "Your sister can't focus in class and is bad at science subjects, you should know that, so I'm calling you to come together!"

  "Can't we just not make up for it?"

  "What do you think?"

  "Guess I'll just have to make up for it then." Li Chao wiped his face and picked up his backpack.

  "I'm waiting for you in the study!"

  "Oh, I see!"

  Lu Xiansheng looked at Li Chao's extremely unwilling movements in the mirror, shaking his head helplessly. Fool, you really don't know how tragic I was back then!

  I recall that from the first year of junior high school onwards, every day after class and dinner, various supplementary teachers would take turns to appear. Although each time it was just the two of us, myself and Zhi Quan, who were exhausted and had to retreat on our own, there wasn't a single day out of 365 days that was an exception - there would always be a teacher appearing, one leaving and another arriving...

  "It was fun to dance with wolves when I was young, the whole text of the pure bird's wife!" Lu Xiangsheng sighed and shook his head, looking at Lei Luoer's door, hesitating whether to go in or shout from here.

  "What are you doing here?" Lí Luòér pulled open the door, still holding a cup of water in her hand, and was startled to see Lù Xiǎngshèng standing at her doorstep like a dead man.

  "Alright... let's go, I'll tutor you in math!" Lu Xiangsheng said casually, as if nothing had happened at all...

  Li Luo'er looked into his eyes and involuntarily took two steps back, covering her chest with her hand.

  Lu Xuan Sheng furrowed his brow and said softly, "Let the servants pour water for you, you need to get used to it! I'll wait for you in the study room, Li Chao has already gone!"

  "Why did Li Chao go too?" As soon as the words left Li Luo'er's mouth, she regretted it. Didn't saying this mean that she was enjoying the private space with him? Idiot!

  Looking at the two red clouds on Li Lu'er's face, Lu Xiangsheng smiled and walked away with his hands in his pockets. This little girl, she doesn't even know what she wants herself! But she's really cute!

  "What supplementary lessons?" Lí Luòér shouted in a high-pitched voice.

  Lu Xiansheng didn't turn his head, but clearly raised his voice: "Study room, supplement high school math!" After a pause, he took a few steps back and lowered his voice: "I think you should change your clothes!"

  "You're sick!" Li Luoer's two small fists simultaneously struck Lü Xuansheng's back, but only a few punches were thrown before he reacted and walked away, still as calm as ever.

  "It's time to change clothes!" Lí Luòér lowered her head and looked at the pajamas she was wearing, "Bang" - she closed the door, opened the closet, and rummaged through what she thought were more suitable clothes.

  What's all this? Not one thing can be taken out! Li Luo'er grasped the home clothes in her hand and sat on the ground, panting.

  As soon as I entered the house, the servants brought in a big pile of pink, yellow and blue pajamas and home clothes, saying that they were chosen by the young master, fearing that there would be no sleepwear tonight and it would be inconvenient. Why didn't he bring one piece that fits me?!

  Right! Isn't that sentence inconvenient?! Oh my god, doesn't this mean that the clothes were taken for Lu Xiangsheng's benefit?! I'm so stupid...

  Li Luo'er looked at the clothes in the closet, closed the door decisively, picked up the white plaid shirt and blue shorts she had worn that noon from the bedside, hesitated for a moment, and changed into them.

  Feeling the strange gaze of the young maids, Li Lu'er appeared in the study with a big smile on her face. Lu Xian Sheng looked up at her and surprisingly didn't show any anger or surprise in his eyes, instead he calmly said: "Sit down, today we'll start with trigonometric functions! If you don't understand, ask."

  Li Luo pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Li Chao beside her with some embarrassment.

  I thought wearing this outfit would make him angry, but he didn't get mad at all. It seems that it's not because he's being generous, but rather he just didn't think of anything bad, and he even called Lichao to come along... He really has a good heart.

  It seems I really misjudged him.

  But have I also misjudged myself? Especially my own heart...

  "What's on your mind! Don't be distracted, focus!" Lu Xiangsheng tapped the desk with his book.

  "Got it!" Lí Luòér stuck out her tongue and obediently made up for lost time.

  Studying well is the only truth, everything else is nonsense! It seems that I can't think of anything else now. Fortunately, there's a free tutor who is also easy on the eyes, so let's just study hard!

  Knowledge changes fate!
