Fortunately, Qian Wei had memorized a little from the crib notes when copying them, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and start answering the questions.
Usually for make-up exams, almost everyone would start turning in their papers after an hour, because for make-up exams, either you can do it or you can't, and sitting in the classroom won't help if you can't. However, Qian Wei realized that the situation was very different today. After two hours of exams, only a few people had turned in their papers ahead of time. She looked around and finally realized what was going on. Except for the few boys who had turned in their papers, almost all the students still taking the make-up exam in the classroom were girls. What made everyone obediently stay in the make-up exam classroom was obviously not the score, but Lu Xun. Many girls pretended to check their answers again, but they were actually secretly glancing at Lu Xun from time to time.
Following the adoring eyes of the young girls, Qian Wei looked towards Lu Xun standing on the podium. His head was slightly lowered, casually flipping through something, his bangs softly hanging down his smooth, full forehead. His tall nose, eyelashes covering his eyes so his expression could not be seen clearly, the corner of his mouth injured but without any bandages, still showing traces of red and purple. Lu Xun displayed the wound openly, he was completely unconcerned, and he did not need to be concerned, because no wound could diminish his looks. He just stood there quietly, September's osmanthus outside the classroom windows already blooming, sunshine slanting down, Lu Xun standing in the interplay of light and shadow, everything was like a still oil painting. Lu Xun was truly too handsome, so handsome that even Qian Wei felt such looks should be classified as fragile artifacts. A flower like jade on a remote path, a peerless gentleman in the mortal world, at this moment, these were the only words in Qian Wei’s mind. No wonder Lu Xun’s name still continued to spread at the law school and even the entire A University, even after he graduated.
The make-up exam finally ended, everyone casually handed in their papers and started leaving the classroom. Lu Xun collected the exam papers and stood at the podium organizing them. Qian Wei handed in her paper and then sluggishly packed up her stationery, waiting for everyone else to leave. In her bag was medical disinfectant hydrogen peroxide and bandages, prepared to find the opportunity to give them to Lu Xun. When Lu Xun finished organizing and started to leave, Qian Wei quickly took out the bag containing the bandages and followed him out of the classroom.
“Lu Xun!” Qian Wei’s voice rang out with another “Lu Xun” almost simultaneously.
Qian Wei looked up to see who it was. The charming figure standing in front of Lu Xun, who else could it be but Mo Zi Xin? At this time students were streaming out of other classrooms where exams had ended. Without exception, when the boys walked past Mo Zi Xin, their eyes would inadvertently glance over her a few times. Mo Zi Xin was that kind of extremely fair and tall beauty, with long hair, no perms, simply cascading to her waist, exuding a strong classical charm. A gust of wind blew by, lifting the tips of her long hair, bringing with it a faint scent of shampoo. Unlike other pretty girls, Mo Zi Xin never overdid her own embellishments, but such simplicity was beautiful. Like this, her body emanated a kind of pureness that others could not imitate. Not only was Mo Zi Xin beautiful, her grades were also top-notch. She spoke softly, naturally exuding charm and allure. Not just men, even Qian Wei felt pleasing to the eye looking at her. No wonder Lu Xun and Qian Chuan were deeply devoted to her.
At this moment, the beautiful Mo Zi Xin was standing there, lips slightly pursed, waiting for Qian Wei to speak.
Qian Wei quickly waved her hand, "You go first, I have nothing important with Lu Xun."
Mo Zi Xin flipped her long hair and slightly lowered her head, looking exactly like the water lily in a Xu Zhimo poem, too delicate to withstand the cool breeze: “I was just waiting for my roommate who I took the make-up exam with to go eat dinner together.” Then she finally raised her head, pursed her lips and smiled, taking out a box and handing it to Lu Xun, “Seeing your mouth is injured, I happen to have bandages, for you.”
Very good!! Qian Wei couldn't help cheering inwardly, fortunately she hadn't handed over her bandages yet. Since she wanted to match up her future boss and boss's wife, how could she snatch Mo Zi Xin's caring opportunity for Lu Xun?
But unexpectedly, Lu Xun actually rejected it, "No need, thanks."
Not expecting this result, Mo Zi Xin was stunned for a moment, somewhat embarrassed flipping her hair again: "It's only a small wound, I'm glad you're fine." Ah, my roommate is here, I'll get going first."
Watching Mo Zi Xin's departing back, Qian Wei was dumbfounded. This Lu Xun guy, his IQ was off the charts but his EQ was definitely negative! He had even fought with thugs from off campus for Mo Zi Xin in the previous life. Now that she took the initiative to extend an olive branch, he actually ignored it completely? No wonder Mo Zi Xin was later pursued away by Qian Chuan.
"What did you want to speak with me about earlier?" Lu Xun turned his head back and glanced at Qian Wei.
Qian Wei shook the bag in her hand, "I originally wanted to give you this, but looks like there's no need anymore."
Lu Xun frowned, "What is it?"
"Bandages and hydrogen peroxide!"
Before Qian Wei could react, Lu Xun lightly flicked his hand and took away her bag.
Qian Wei was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Lu Xun, although men have tears but don't lightly shed them, sometimes appropriately showing weakness in front of girls will not only avoid girls looking down on you, but can even arouse their protective desire for you. And once they have the urge to protect you, love can slowly sprout..."
"What nonsense are you spewing?" But Lu Xun was not enlightened at all by this. On the contrary, his tone was unpleasant, indeed very annoyed at having his secret crush seen through.
"You obviously wanted the bandages, but in front of the girl you have a crush on, you forcibly put up an unmoved by small wounds tough guy front, and stiffly rejected Mo Zi Xin's caring!" Qian Wei felt extremely exasperated. "You can't go on like this, Mo Zi Xin will be pursued by someone else very soon."
Lu Xun's eyebrow quirked up, his complexion unpleasant, "With which eye did you see I have any feelings for her?"
"Explaining is covering up, no need to say more." Qian Wei had a knowing look. "Otherwise, why didn't you take Mo Zi Xin's bandages and instead took mine? If not because you were concerned about her and wanted to act tough in front of her."
"Hmph, with your ability to spin tales, why don't you go write novels instead? But you at least have some self-awareness and didn't delusionally imagine I took your bandages because you're special to me." Lu Xun gave a cold snort. "There are so many girls on campus who want to give me things, do I take them all? Since there's no intention in that area, I shouldn't take anything to avoid leading others on. As for you..." Lu Xun pointed at the corner of his mouth, "This was hit by your little brother, it's good that I didn't ask you for medical fees, so it's normal for me to take your bandages."
"In any case, even if you don't have any intentions towards Mo Zi Xin now, in the future you will."
"You're so amazing, even knowing who I'll like in the future. Then how come you didn't foresee getting caught cheating today?"
Qian Wei shamelessly continued: "Mo Zi Xin is beautiful, intelligent, graceful and can play the piano. On our school forum she was voted the undisputed campus belle. And you, you were voted the undisputed campus heartthrob. Your looks and intelligence are also outstanding. Coincidentally, your piano skills can also be called exquisite. Looking at it this way, you and Mo Zi Xin are a perfect match, simply made for each other. In the future you can even play duets together to cultivate your affections, right? Although not just A University, even all the universities in A City are filled with girls harboring ulterior motives for you, the one truly worthy of you is still only Mo Zi Xin. You saying now you have no interest in her, if it's not your heart and mouth being out of sync, it's because you still don't understand her well enough. A person like Mo Zi Xin, the more deeply you get to know her, the harder it is to not fall for her. She's the only one who can enter your heart. Believe me, I'm not wrong." Qian Wei blinked suggestively. "Trust me, I'm absolutely right."
"Why do I feel your tone and manner of speaking is just like those people at school gate selling pirated pornographic CDs for 5 yuan each?" Lu Xun's brows furrowed. "Also, how do you know I can play piano? I've never told anyone that before."
Crap, forgot about this part. For some reason, Lu Xun never revealed in university that he could play piano. Qian Wei only found out accidentally after seeing him play at work... There's no way 19 year old her could possibly know Lu Xun could play piano. How to explain this now...
Often when someone asks you an unanswerable question, the best tactic is not to stubbornly argue head on, but rather—shift the topic!
Qian Wei coughed and raised her voice, "Lu Xun, I didn't expect you've bought the pirated pornographic CDs sold at the school gate!"
Qian Wei had always been loud. This sentence of hers successfully attracted the attention of several nearby students.
Lu Xun's complexion completely darkened. He enunciated each word through clenched teeth, "I、have、not、bought、pornographic、CDs!"
"If you didn't buy any, how do you know it's 5 yuan each!"
"That piracy booth has a signboard advertisement clearly stating 5 yuan each! The words are so big, I'm not blind!"
"If you weren't interested, how could you remember so clearly it was 5 yuan each? Even able to read their signboard when passing by any stall, this shows you had ulterior motives!"
"It's something any normal person walking by any stall who saw such an eye-catching ad would remember. This doesn't mean I'm interested." Lu Xun's eyes were almost popping out from anger.
"Since you can remember a stall's ad copy from casually walking by, what's written on the fruit stall's ad at school gate? How much is a catty of bananas? Do you remember? Their writing is also big. Look, you can't remember this right, because you're not interested in bananas."
Lu Xun's face was not just dark, it now also held a faint murderous aura.
Qian Wei finally realized this was bad. Although she successfully changed the topic, now there was clearly a new problem...
She coughed and attempted to remedy the situation: "What I'm saying is just an analogy. It's not a big deal for young men your age to watch a couple pornographic discs. Don't worry, you didn't profit from it, so it doesn't constitute the crime of spreading obscene materials. I brought this up just to illustrate that people shouldn't be hypocritical. Saying you don't want something but your body is very honest, you need to confront your own feelings. Like what you like, whoever you like, just be direct about it, no need to beat around the bush. You do you, different fires in this mundane world!"
"Qian Wei, shut up."
"Okay! I won't disturb you delivering exam papers then!" Seeing things going south, Qian Wei immediately retreated prudently under Lu Xun's icy gaze.
28 year old Lu Xun was already very hard to please. She didn't expect 19 year old him to be equally difficult to handle.
How to get him to become Mo Zi Xin's partner harmoniously while maintaining his proud ego? This was clearly an issue requiring careful long-term planning.
