Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

“One day and one night?!” Lu Cheng was stunned.

"Don't be nervous." Tang Yue took Lu Cheng's phone from her.

“Your sister Xia called me last night, and I told her about your situation and told her not to worry.”

"However, upon hearing my voice and learning that you stayed overnight at my house, her tone changed subtly~"

Tang Yue's expression was subtle.

Your little sister Xia is jealous!

Teenage girls are really hard to please!

"Hey, Xinxia... I'm fine, how are you? Did you sleep well last night?"

"Oh, I see. I'll be back in a bit... Teacher Tang Yue, are you coming too?"

Lu Cheng looked at Tang Yue, whose expression was strange.

"Xinxia asked if you wanted to come with me. She wanted to thank you for taking care of me all night."

"I..." Tang Yue was a little taken aback.

"She agreed, we'll be back in a bit... um, goodbye, by the way, cook lots of good food, get lots of meat, I'm hungry."

Lu Cheng hung up the phone, stood up, and said, "Let's go, Sister Tang Yue."

Tang Yue looked puzzled.

This girl is quite skilled!

Thank you for taking care of Lü Cheng?

This is a way of asserting sovereignty over her!

Chapter 18 People Have a Thousand Faces

……

"Sister Ningxue, Brother Acheng is fine, he'll be back soon."

At Lü Cheng's home, Ye Xinxia and Mu Ningxue were sitting together.

"Then I'll be going now." Mu Ningxue stood up.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Xinxia quickly grabbed Mu Ningxue.

"Sister Ningxue, you should talk things out with Brother Acheng."

Mu Ningxue's expression was somewhat unnatural. "I've already spoken and apologized, but he ignored me."

Ye Xinxia looked puzzled. "How did you apologize?"

“I told him that there’s nothing between Mo Fan and me. That night, I acted on impulse. If he still wants to get engaged, I will agree,” Mu Ningxue said.

"And then?" Ye Xinxia asked.

"That's all," Mu Ningxue said calmly.

"..."

"That's all?" Ye Xinxia was taken aback.

No, sister, you call this an apology?

"What was your tone and attitude like at the time?" Ye Xinxia asked.

Brother Acheng has a very good temper, and he responds better to gentle persuasion than force. As long as you speak to him kindly, he will generally not hold a grudge.

"What tone?" Mu Ningxue asked back.

"..." Ye Xinxia.

Very good! I've roughly guessed the truth of the matter!

With your icy, aloof attitude, if I didn't know you'd always been like this, Brother Cheng would have already been too kind as to not beat you up, considering you're a woman!

……

On his way home, Lü Cheng got into Tang Yue's car.

"Why do I feel like you don't really care about this?" Tang Yue asked curiously.

Being stood up by your fiancée at your engagement party—for a teenage boy like you, this would probably feel like the world is about to break.

She had witnessed similar scenes before, and it seemed like she was about to burst into tears.

After all, teenagers are very sensitive and vulnerable, especially when it comes to these kinds of innocent love affairs. Even the slightest setback can trigger a huge emotional backlash.

She wouldn't be surprised if they became enemies because of this.

But when she looked at Lü Cheng, he didn't seem angry at all when he brought up that matter; it was more like... helplessness.

The helplessness towards children.

"What do you care about?" Lu Cheng asked in return.

“Getting angry at the time was my instinct as a man. As for what happened afterward, it’s over now. Only insecure and fragile people would hold grudges over a small setback. These things are based on mutual consent. If the other person doesn’t want it, I naturally won’t force them.”

"Besides, do I look like someone who lacks female admirers?"

Tang Yue looked puzzled, but she couldn't refute it.

Let alone in a small place like Bocheng, even outside, Lü Cheng's looks and temperament are impeccable.

But isn't this child an orphan?

A person whose parents disappeared when they were five or six years old—their looks could be attributed to genetics, but their demeanor…

"I'm really curious about how you've managed all these years," Tang Yue said earnestly.

"Your demeanor is quite out of place with your classmates."

Aura is a special kind of feeling that requires a lot of time to train and cultivate. It cannot be faked; discerning people can see it at a glance.

For example, Mo Fan is an inexperienced, loud-mouthed fool who speaks and acts without thinking, only caring about momentary pleasure. He also has a sense of superiority that he is the only one who is sober in a world of drunks, and looks down on ordinary people who kowtow to the Mu family.

Although that kid is very talented, he made enemies for himself when he was still weak, and the reasons for making enemies were not only unreasonable, but also quite childish!

Well, it's pretty much in line with the impulsiveness of this age.

But the feeling she had towards Lü Cheng...

"What else can I do? I'll just have to live alone." Lü Cheng leaned against the window.

That's how I lived in my past life, so this life won't be any different.

No, I was a poor wretch in my past life, but at least I'm rich in this one. I can eat whatever I want and wear whatever I want without having to worry too much.

Reincarnation is a skill in itself.

Tang Yue paused for a moment, "Although this may sound a bit rude, it's really not easy to have such a stable and self-disciplined personality when you grow up alone without anyone teaching or caring for you."

Parents and family have the most profound influence on a person.

Lu Cheng gives off a very independent vibe, without a trace of childishness. Because he has never had anyone to rely on since childhood, Lu Cheng always seems out of place in a crowd.

In fact, Lü Cheng could often be described as indifferent.

“Stable?” Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"It's not that I'm stable, it's that I don't have the right to be unstable."

"I also want to be willful, I also want to do whatever I want, but I know I don't have the right, no one will cover for me, and no one will tolerate my willfulness."

"I can only live cautiously, like the coward that great genius described, afraid of taking a wrong step."

Tang Yue looked bitter. "You really are so mature it's heartbreaking."

Fifteen or sixteen-year-olds are in the prime of their youth, and should be carefree, full of energy, and as passionate as the rising sun.

But Lü Cheng, like the moon hanging alone in the deep night sky, was quiet and lonely...

"Feeling sorry for him?" Lu Cheng turned around.

"Do you need me to give you a massage? I know a little about massage, and my technique is pretty good."

Tang Yue's eye twitched. "I really can't figure out which side of you is the real you."

One moment he's a quiet, handsome man, the next he's a womanizing playboy.

Who can blame him for being handsome?

When a handsome person says something suggestive, it's called being charming; when an ugly person says something suggestive, it's called being vulgar.

Of course, it also depends on the occasion and the limits. Lü Cheng doesn't just go up to anyone and say dirty jokes.

At least, at school, this guy hasn't said anything to any of his other female classmates.

“It’s all true.” Lü Cheng shrugged.

"People are multifaceted; there is no such thing as a person who remains consistent throughout."

People have a thousand faces, and their hearts are ever-changing.
