Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 61. I just wanted to buy a gift for Madam.

He originally thought those online stories about getting extra points for marriage certificates after going to university were just jokes and memes! Nobody ever said they'd actually do it!!
I'd never heard of Lu Lishen having a girlfriend before! Why is he suddenly pulling out a marriage certificate?!
"teacher?"

The male voice was calm and aloof.

as usual.

The counselor, however, had a strange feeling that he had been shown off.

He took a deep breath: "Yes, I can add it."

Then, without complaint, he picked up the notebook and began registering.

He just exuded a faint sadness that made him feel like he had lost all will to live.

Lu Lishen remained calm, turned his head to look at Hou Taojiu, who was frozen in shock, and Ji Ziqian, who wore a disdainful expression, and said naturally,
"The holiday is coming soon, and I need to have some money on hand to buy a gift for your sister-in-law."

Hou Taojiu looked at him with a face full of grief and indignation, and let out a "heh heh".

The meaning is obvious.

Do you, Lu Lishen, care about these few measly things?!

Buying gifts? Ugh! Shameless!
Needless to say, Ji Ziqian knew from the beginning that Lu Lishen had ill intentions, but he never expected that this person could be so sassy.

They actually pulled out their marriage certificate to get extra points!
Is he so afraid that people won't know he's married?!
Faced with his roommate's criticism, Lu Lishen remained calm. He turned to his counselor and asked, "Have you finished calculating, teacher?"

"Uh-huh."

The counselor hadn't recovered from the huge blow yet. He glanced at the form in his hand and said in a daze, "Currently, you and Ji Ziqian are tied for first place in terms of bonus points, just one point more than Hou."

Lu Lishen nodded, tidied up the documents on the table, put them back into the file bag, leaving only a red booklet, which he held in his hand.

"Thank you, teacher. I'll head back now."

After saying that, the man turned around and walked back to his seat.

Hou Taojiu, upon hearing the devastating news: "..."

He turned his head abruptly, shaking Ji Ziqian's shoulders with both hands: "Old Ji, how could Lu Shen do this... Waaaaah..."

Ji Ziqian was dizzy from being shaken, but he patiently patted him.

"After four years together, don't you understand?" he said expressionlessly. "There's a reason why Jiang Wang calls him 'Lu Gou' (a derogatory term for a dog).

Hou Taojiu: "..."

He realized it too late, sob sob!

The counselor quickly fled this heartbreaking place after completing the statistics.

As soon as he stepped out of the classroom, he couldn't resist taking out his phone from his pocket, his eyes lighting up as he opened a social media app and started typing away.

[Wall! I need to submit a story! Shocking news!! Lu Lishen from our school's Computer Science department! Yes, the Lu Lishen you all know! He's married!!!]

……

Inside the classroom.

Lu Lishen leisurely returned to his seat and sat down, forming a stark contrast with Hou Taojiu, who was dejected behind him.

The podium was some distance away from them.

Jiang Wang was chatting with Shao Ming, so he didn't pay much attention to the commotion on the podium.

Seeing Hou Taojiu looking so listless, while Lu Lishen was calmly operating the computer, Jiang Wang's intuition told him that something must have happened!
"Lu Lishen, what have you done now?"

Upon hearing Jiang Wang's voice, Hou Taojiu grasped at a lifeline and rushed over, wailing, "Jiang Wang!! You have to do something about your brother-in-law! Lu Shen actually... he actually used the marriage certificate to register for extra points!! Just one point, and I lost one point, waaaaah!"

Jiang Wang trembled all over: "Don't come any closer! It's disgusting!"

But when he realized what Hou Taojiu had said—

"Lu Lishen, when did you become so flirtatious?"

Jiang Wang even felt that compared to Lu Lishen now, the man's past actions were nothing at all.

Even Shao Ming's glasses were askew. After realizing what was happening, he turned his head away, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

"I have to say something to you, Lao Lu, doing this isn't very ethical."

Lu Lishen looked up from the computer screen, tilted his head slightly, and said with an innocent and natural look in his eyes: "But 520 is coming soon, and I just want to earn some money to buy a gift for my wife."

The tone was clearly asking them—

Is there anything wrong with that?

Shao Ming choked on his saliva and started coughing. Jiang Wang had initially thought he was lewd, but things changed once Jiang Jixu was involved.

He nodded: "That's a good point. How can we celebrate 520 without a gift?"

Hou Tao stared at the two of them in disbelief: "You?!"

"Lu Shen, are you short of money to buy a gift?"

"That's different."

Lu Lishen lowered his beautiful eyes, his rosy lips curving upwards, and stroked the marriage certificate in his hand, as if looking at someone through the certificate.

He said, "This scholarship was earned in exchange for our marriage certificate, which will make my wife feel involved."

Shao Ming took a deep breath and put his arm around Hou Taojiu's shoulder.

"Give up, kid. Even if you try to out-talk, you can't beat Lao Lu."

Lu Lishen smiled slightly, stopped chatting with them, and took out his phone.

Send a message to Jiang Jixu.

[Report: Today's loot totaled 5000 yuan.]

[Transfer 5000 yuan]

[All documents have been submitted. Please check, Madam.]

Jiang Jixu was explaining the precautions for the new design to Xiao Mo when his phone kept vibrating.

She picked it up and looked at it casually.

Three messages suddenly appeared in my field of vision.

Despite the serious tone, Jiang Jixu could inexplicably imagine the man's lowered dark eyes, slightly upturned lips, and nonchalant yet languid expression as he spoke.

She couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

But Xiao Mo, who was standing next to her, saw it.

The girl peeked over furtively and whispered, "Sister Jiang, did the boss's husband send you a message?"

Jiang Jixu couldn't help but ask, "Old... boss's husband?"

Xiao Mo had an expression that seemed perfectly natural.

"That's right, Sister Jiang, you're my boss, so naturally your husband is my boss's husband."

Jiang Jixu's cheeks flushed when she heard the phrase "your partner".

She calmed herself down, gave Xiao Mo a few tasks, and only after the girl left did she pick up her phone to reply.

The transfer has been refunded.

What spoils of war?

Jiang Jixu held her phone and waited quietly. Unexpectedly, Lu Lishen sent a message the next second.

[Photo.jpg]

We used our wedding photo to register for academic credits, which gave us an extra credit, allowing us to receive the highest level of scholarship.

Jiang Jixu clicked on the picture, her heart racing.

Their small, bright red marriage certificate, bearing their photo together, was placed among a pile of certificates of honor.

Jiang Jixu couldn't help but gasp when he saw that there were two national awards among them.

Then I replied carefully, word by word.

[You're just too outstanding, that's why you got the scholarship.]

The dialog box displays "Typing...".

A new message popped up.

Jiang Jixu's next words after seeing the profile picture.

Lu: [The point added by my wife is the most crucial, so this is our shared honor.]

Lu: [To commemorate the success of our first joint operation, how about we catch a movie tonight to celebrate?]

Tsk tsk, if you want to invite someone to a movie, just say so.

Please vote for me, my darlings! During the PK period, please shower me with your votes!
