Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

"Oh, right," Lu Jingxiu said, getting out of the car and glancing back at Xu Na, who was still sitting in the car in a daze, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? You came straight here after getting off the plane."

He tilted his head towards the cafeteria: "Come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria to get something to eat."

Xu Na then came to her senses, blankly unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car.

Morning light filters through the leaves and falls on the campus roads, the air still carrying the unique coolness of early morning.

She was half a step behind Lu Jingxiu, and looked up at his back as he walked ahead.

That thought popped into her head again.

Lu Jingxiu's indifferent attitude towards Li Qingqing was completely different from how she remembered him being utterly infatuated with her in her previous life.

Is it because he just broke up with her, so he's deliberately acting nonchalant in front of her to save face for his brother?

Yes, very likely. Men, after all, care about their image.

Could it be that... he was reborn too?

The moment the thought popped into her head, she found it funny and almost burst out laughing.

Hahahaha! How is that possible?! Rebirth is already outrageous enough for one person, how could it be two...?

Besides, she was just a little orphan that nobody cared about; if she died, so be it.

How could something happen to Lu Jingxiu, the eldest son of the Lu family?

She shook her head, banishing the absurd idea from her mind.

Regardless, she loved every word of Lu Jingxiu's answer.

She quickened her pace and naturally caught up with Lu Jingxiu.

When was the last time I had dinner with Lu Jingxiu?

It seems like it was a very, very long time ago. In the last period of his previous life, he would frown whenever he saw her, and wouldn't say a word, let alone eat alone with her.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Jingxiu's arm.

"It's been so long since I've had breakfast from back home! I miss it so much!" She pulled his arm into her arms, leaned against him, and gave him a sweet smile.

Lu Jingxiu's arm stiffened instantly.

She was instantly enveloped in two warm and soft touches, and the girl hugged them tightly, as if she wanted to hang herself on them.

So his arm was squeezed there, swaying gently with her steps, her soft flesh rubbing against him.

"Ahem, be mindful of the impact."

Lu Jingxiu subconsciously looked around to see if any classmates were passing by, and then tried to pull his arm away, but she held him tightly and he couldn't budge it at all.

Xu Na wrapped her arm around his and turned her head, just in time to see his profile so close to hers.

The morning light shone on that well-defined face, from the brow bone to the bridge of the nose to the jawline, the lines were clean and crisp.

The blush on his handsome profile was particularly striking.

Then she leaned closer, lowered her voice, and said in a volume only the two of them could hear, "Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Jingxiu suddenly stopped and turned to look at her in shock.

He yanked his arm away, adopting an older brother's stern expression: "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you want me to send you to Germany?!"

He never expected that his adopted sister would utter such lewd words.

Wait a minute, in the original owner's memories, this younger sister's attitude towards her older brother was quite normal. When did she become so bold?

Xu Na was completely bewildered by his intense reaction, looking at him with a strange expression: "Brother, why are you reacting so strongly? And what do you mean by that? Sending you to Germany...is it a punishment?"

"What I mean is," Lu Jingxiu took a deep breath, trying to make his expression look serious, "if Dad heard what you just said, he would break both of our legs first, and then send us to Germany for treatment."

He paused, then added, "Because Germany's orthopedic technology is world-class."

As he said this, he quickly glanced down, his gaze sliding from her innocent face to the undulating area where she had been tightly clinging to his arm.

Xu Na: "..."

She looked down following his gaze, her mind raced for a moment, and finally understood.

She suddenly widened her eyes, covered her mouth with her hand, then removed her hand and looked Lu Jingxiu up and down with an extremely disgusted expression.

She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth: "Brother, I'm begging you, please go and make up with Li Qingqing."

"What I meant was, was it too heavy for me to hang on your arm, which is why your arm felt uncomfortable...?"

She grew angrier as she spoke: "What were you thinking just now?! Get down here!"

She pulled out her phone, swiped her finger across the screen twice, and added angrily, "I'm going to tell Dad."

What?!

Is that what it means?!

Three huge exclamation marks seemed to appear on Lu Jingxiu's forehead instantly.

He felt so embarrassed that he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the concrete with his toes.

If Lu's father found out about this, given his rigid and serious nature, coupled with his doting on this youngest daughter, he would really break his legs, no joke.

"Wait!" He reacted quickly, snatching Xu Na's phone and holding it tightly in his hand.

He took a deep breath, quickly put on an extremely serious expression, and began to speak with righteous indignation:

"What I mean is, if you're holding my arm like this and not watching your step, what if you trip and fall down together? I'll be fine, but if you get hurt, wouldn't Mom and Dad be frantic with worry?"

"Then I, the brother who failed to protect my sister, will probably get my leg broken and be sent to Germany for bone treatment. It's not what you're thinking. What's going on in your head all day?"

How can this be explained away?

How come she never noticed before that her brother was such a smooth talker?

Xu Na admired him inwardly, but looked at him with a skeptical expression: "Really?"

"Of course," Lu Jingxiu felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Li Qingqing has found a new boyfriend, the kind that seamlessly transitions into a new relationship."

Sure enough, Xu Na's expression instantly changed from "I want to see how you cover this up" to "Holy crap, what the hell?"

He sneered inwardly. That woman was just as skilled as she had been in his previous life.

Her face immediately lit up with shock and indignation for her brother: "What? That woman... seamless transition! That was too fast!"

"Yes." Lu Jingxiu sighed, quickly switching his expression to one of "I'm heartbroken by love, but you don't need to worry about me," before turning and walking towards the cafeteria.

Xu Na stood there, watching his back.

Then, the corners of her mouth slowly turned up, and she couldn't suppress it.

But when Lu Jingxiu suddenly turned around, the smile on her lips vanished instantly, and her expression returned to normal.

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for? I have class to attend," Lu Jingxiu shouted.

"Okay, brother, tell me more about Li Qingqing later..." Xu Na recalled the scene of her hugging his arm just now, and his serious nonsense afterwards.

Her pretty face flushed for a moment.

She took a deep breath and quickly followed.

Actually, she was deliberately rubbing against my arm just now.
