Chapter 697 Daily Life 44
Chu Kong agreed too quickly, which made Lu Wanxing even more uneasy, worried that he would say one thing and do another.
Therefore, Lu Wanxing decided that during this period of time, whenever she had free time, she would stay by her sister's side and never stray more than ten meters away.
While feeling helpless, Lu Wantang unceremoniously treated him like a handbag carrier.
And they tried to get him to work as a delivery boy.
"No."
Lu Wanxing crossed her arms. "If I go running errands, what if someone takes the opportunity to come looking for you?"
Lu Wantang: "Then I...won't see him?"
Lu Wanxing: "What if he comes in by himself?"
Lu Wantang: "There are security guards downstairs, so they usually can't just let people in."
Lu Wanxing: "What if that person uses both soft and hard tactics, pestering and cajoling, or even throws a tantrum?"
Lu Wantang: "Are you still asleep? Why don't you go back to sleep?"
Lu Wanxing: "..."
Alright, given Chu Kong's character, he most likely wouldn't throw a tantrum.
So, Lu Wanxing obediently became the errand boy, and also bought a bunch of roadside stalls back with her.
"This is the lemon tea you wanted, sister."
"I bought these on my way back."
Before long, Lu Wantang's desk was filled with all kinds of food.
Roast chicken, fried skewers, beef patties, candied hawthorns... it's clear they bought their way from one end of the street to the other.
"Did you buy them one by one yourself?" Lu Wantang asked, taking a pair of chopsticks without any hesitation.
"How could that be? I had my assistant buy it; I didn't get out of the car myself."
Lu Wanxing said smugly, "With my current level of recognition in Dongzhou, I'll be recognized within three minutes of getting out of the car."
Lu Wantang poured cold water on the situation at the right moment: "That's only in Dongzhou. The other continents are still a long way from getting the same 'treatment'."
Lu Wanxing inserted the straw into her milk tea cup and drank most of it in a few gulps:
"Sis, you've changed. You used to be so laid-back with me, the kind of person who'd be happy if I became famous, and if I didn't, I'd be a cleaner at the company..."
"That's because you're one of the company's cash cows now," Lu Wantang said, feigning indifference. "Now that you've become a cash cow, of course I have to shake you up as much as I can."
Lu Wanxing was speechless again, her eyes filled with resentment.
But Lu Wantang was eating with great gusto and didn't even look up.
"Hmm, this fried skewer tastes familiar. Where did you buy it?"
The topic shifted, and Lu Wanxing instantly became 'normal':
"I went there specifically to buy it near the gate of my old junior high school. I never imagined that those few roadside stalls would now form a whole food street!"
"It's not bad to try it occasionally, but you can't eat it all the time."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Wantang suddenly remembered that the person in front of her also needed to maintain their weight.
She glanced at the table laden with food and immediately changed the subject:
"For the sake of your figure, you can only try a bite or two of these... Go and call Brother Yun and the others over, otherwise it will be a waste."
Lu Wanxing, who had finally confirmed that her agent wasn't there today: "..."
"Can I have a indulgence meal just this once?"
He held up one finger, his pitiful eyes resembling those of a large dog begging for food.
Lu Wantang almost softened her heart.
But he quickly regained his senses:
"No. I remember your agent reminded you that you have a lot of engagements lately, so it's already good that you can rest all day today."
Lu Wanxing gripped the desk with both hands, squatted in front of it, only showing half of her face, trying to get away with being cute.
However, Lu Wantang had already sent a message to Chang Yun.
A short while later, the two people from next door came over.
Chang Yun sniffed the aroma filling the room.
"So much food? You two had a meal together in the office?"
"Wanxing bought these, let's eat them together."
Lu Wantang gave a wink to the spot where Lu Wanxing was squatting.
Upon seeing his expression, Chang Yun immediately understood what had happened and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Wanxing, the way you look right now, you look a lot like that dog that's talked about online?"
Song Mian, who doesn't talk much but has recently become very shrewd, immediately replied: "Loser."
“Yes, that’s the word.” Chang Yun nodded affirmatively. “Xiao Song thinks it’s similar too, right?”
Lu Wanxing looked at the two of them with a deep gaze.
And you know what? The siblings look surprisingly alike at times.
The moment Lu Wanxing put on a stern face, Chang Yun imagined Lu Wantang focused on her work.
He coughed lightly, "Well, actually we could pick out a few dishes that aren't too high in calories and let Wanxing have a few more bites. Look how much the child is craving them..."
Lu Wanxing was instantly delighted.
They also watch longingly as the parents, who have the power to make the decisions, take notice.
Lu Wantang remained unmoved and stated:
"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
"After I finish eating, I still need to go to school."
Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Lu Wanxing still wanted to argue her point.
After hearing the second half of the sentence, he sat back down in his chair and decided to try to "rely on his own" and sneak in a few more bites.
After all, what if his sister doesn't let him come along anymore if he takes too much time?
With two more people joining, the 'morning tea' on the desk was quickly devoured.
Lu Wantang kept her word and went to school after finishing her meal.
With excellent academic records and practical experience, coupled with job opportunities offered to graduates by Tangxing Entertainment, she plans to apply for early graduation.
Lu Wanxing acted as her protector throughout the journey.
Because he was completely disguised and behaved like a bodyguard, few people recognized him even when he walked through the bustling school.
—This is also because other people's eyes were first drawn to Lu Wantang.
Seeing someone glancing left and right, their feelings of stealth growing stronger, Lu Wantang had no choice but to emphasize:
"Actually, Chu Kong won't come looking for me. His concert schedule is quite full, and he may have already flown to another city."
"What if he manages to come back when he has some free time?"
Upon hearing the word "what if," Lu Wantang suddenly felt a headache coming on.
But Lu Wanxing's little mouth kept chattering away, never stopping:
"Don't think I don't know, hmph! He even took time out of his busy schedule to personally deliver the tickets before the concert started yesterday. I heard from Brother Yun that he also gave you a bracelet..."
Lu Wantang quickened her pace, trying to shake off the 'little trumpet'.
Lu Wanxing persisted:
"Why are you walking so fast all of a sudden? I think you really need to be more vigilant, sis. What if some people have ulterior motives and want to get to know you first before revealing themselves..."
Only now did Lu Wantang begin to regret her actions.
I actually let someone stay by my side because I was soft-hearted.
I should have let the agent take him away!
Tsk, Lu Wanxing wasn't like this before.
Could it be that they grew up too quickly, skipping adolescence and going straight into middle age?
With this in mind, Lu Wantang took a longer route before finally finding the college office.
With complete application materials and being a well-known figure at the school, communication between the two parties went smoothly.
After her application is approved, Lu Wantang only needs to write an undergraduate-level thesis and complete the defense to obtain her graduation certificate and degree certificate.
However, before she could even feel happy, just as she stepped out of the office, she suddenly heard a voice:
"Lu Wantang? Are you and Chu Kong... together?"
