He thought back to when he was with Li Qingqing. Although they sometimes held hands, it felt more like they were fulfilling a contract.

Li Qingqing's expression was always indifferent, polite, and aloof, as if she were acting in a play that had nothing to do with her.

Not only did his heart race, but he even felt like he owed the other person a favor just by holding their hand.

"Zhuang Xue's circle of close friends isn't just for show," Lu Jingxiu continued, his tone flat. "They'll find out with a little inquiry that you and Li Qingqing only occasionally have a meal together or take a walk on the playground; you don't even have any intimate gestures."

"Do you think this level of relationship would make Zhuang Xue feel threatened?"

Chen Xinghai shook his head as expected: "No... she probably won't believe it."

"Besides," Lu Jingxiu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked slowly, "if I'm not mistaken, Li Qingqing probably wouldn't agree to go out to dinner with you tonight, would she?"

Chen Xinghai nodded again.

"My sister can cooperate with all of this," Lu Jingxiu put down his teacup. "For example, if you go out for a candlelight dinner with her, I'll arrange for someone to secretly take pictures."

"They even used tricks like taking photos from different angles and photoshopping to leak a few pictures of you two kissing."

"Of course, to make it seem real, you'll have to genuinely treat my sister as someone you're pursuing at school."

"You pursued Zhuang Xue the same way you pursued Lu Na now. Spend the money you should spend, give her the gifts she should give, and have the meals she should have. As for Lu Na's reaction and cooperation, you don't need to worry at all."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinghai subconsciously looked at Xu Na, who was sitting next to Lu Jingxiu.

A slight thought crossed my mind.

Honestly, Lu Shao's younger sister is indeed very beautiful.

With delicate features and fair skin, she wore a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts, exuding the charm of a youthful female student.

Moreover, from the moment she entered the private room until now, she has been sitting there quietly, occasionally taking a sip of tea, picking up a piece of food, and listening to them talk; she is very well-behaved.

Her face was flushed, as if she were a little embarrassed, and she was looking down at her phone.

Chen Xinghai thought to himself that the girl was probably a little shy because he was going to pursue her.

This innocent young girl's reaction was quite novel to him, the young master.

"Okay." Chen Xinghai readily agreed. "Brother Lu, I have no problem with that."

Lu Jingxiu turned to Xu Na: "Nana, you two should add each other's contact information so it'll be easier to communicate if needed."

Xu Na nodded obediently, picked up her phone, opened the QR code page, and handed it to Chen Xinghai.

Chen Xinghai took out his phone and scanned the QR code. With a "ding," the friend request was successfully added.

"Young Master Lu, thank you so much." Chen Xinghai looked at the new friend's profile picture on his phone screen, feeling both touched and admiring.

Today, not only did Lu Shao not care about the matter between him and his ex-girlfriend, but he also went to great lengths to help him come up with ideas, and even dragged his own sister into the act.

He couldn't find another person like him in the entire Badu University with such loyalty.

"Really, I don't know how to thank you..."

"Don't mention it," Lu Jingxiu waved his hand, as if it were a "no big deal," "Nana is a teaching assistant at our school now, so there's no age or status barrier between us."

"You can start tomorrow. I'll find someone to help you promote yourselves at school and make a big fuss so that Zhuang Xue's ears are filled with news about the two of you."

Is Young Master Lu's sister a teaching assistant at the school?

Chen Xinghai's eyes lit up, and what was originally just a matter of going along with the act suddenly turned into a genuine expectation.

This identity is much more interesting than that of an ordinary student.

"Okay!" He nodded vigorously, his tone already carrying a hint of eager anticipation. "Brother Lu, Sister Nana, it's settled then!"

As the three of them stepped out of the local restaurant, the midday heat immediately hit them, and the ground shone with a white gleam.

Chen Xinghai waved to the two of them, then turned and strode quickly towards his car parked across the street. He was already starting to plan how to arrange a proper confession ceremony for tomorrow.

Since he had no classes in the afternoon, Lu Jingxiu naturally didn't want to stay at school any longer.

He walked side-by-side with Xu Na towards the parking lot, casually asking, "I'm planning to go back to my apartment this afternoon, what about you?"

Xu Na just wanted to get back as soon as possible and change out of her clothes.

The scene in the private room had made her sweat a lot, and her clothes were sticking to her skin, which was very uncomfortable and made her feel uneasy.

"Let's go together, I'll go back and pack."

"it is good."

The car drove out of the school gate and turned onto the main road.

The car's air conditioning was blowing cool air, dispelling the stuffiness in the car.

Lu Jingxiu's phone was propped up on the bracket of the air vent, navigating the route home, when a voice call suddenly popped up on the screen; it was Tang Cheng.

Lu Jingxiu glanced at it, casually tapped to answer, and turned on speakerphone.

The background noise from Tang Cheng's end was a bit loud; you could vaguely hear music from the car stereo and the whooshing sound of the wind. He was probably driving too, and he was yelling at the top of his lungs, "Brother Lu! Where are you?"

"On your way home, what's wrong?"

"Did you see the message I sent you?" Tang Cheng's voice held the excitement of discovering a juicy scoop. "Li Qingqing asked me out for lunch!"

Upon hearing this, both people in the car frowned simultaneously.

Tang Cheng was unaware that there were two listeners on the other end of the phone, and he recounted the whole story to the other end.

Li Qingqing invited him to lunch, and they chatted about all sorts of random things, subtly digressing several times before finally bringing up the topic of Lu Jingxiu having a younger sister recently.

Tang Cheng managed to keep his distance at first, but as the conversation progressed, he unknowingly revealed all about Lu Na.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxiu frowned even more deeply: "You told her about Nana?"

"Uh..." Tang Cheng's voice suddenly dropped, tinged with embarrassment, "I wasn't paying attention at first, and she tricked me into revealing the truth... She asked so naturally, so I..."

Lu Jingxiu didn't rush to scold him; his mind raced.

The relationship between the Tang family and the Lu family is actually quite delicate, because Tang Cheng's father is the mayor of Ba City.

The two companies have both cooperation and mutual wariness.

However, the delicate relationship between the two families did not affect the friendship between Lu Jingxiu and Tang Cheng's generation.

The two grew up in the same residential compound and had a very close relationship.

Therefore, Tang Cheng naturally knew that the Lu family had lost a daughter, and also knew that Lu Na, who had been separated from her family for many years, had been reunited with her ancestors.

Xu Na sat in the passenger seat, her face already darkening.

She hadn't expected Li Qingqing to act so quickly; she had only been there for half a day, and the other party had already started inquiring about her.

Moreover, the information was actually extracted from Tang Cheng, that idiot.

She reached out and tugged at her seatbelt, then leaned close to Lu Jingxiu's ear, lowering her voice and letting her breath gently brush against his earlobe:

"Brother, ask him how much he told Li Qingqing about me."

Lu Jingxiu's ears felt a little itchy from the warm air. He tilted his head slightly and waited for Xu Na to return to her seat before speaking into the microphone:

"Listen up, kid. Don't hang out with Li Qingqing anymore. That woman is no simpleton. Don't end up getting sold out by her and still counting the money for her."

"...Sigh, Brother Lu, I was just trying to find out some information for you," Tang Cheng's voice sounded somewhat annoyed and a little aggrieved. "You've always liked her, so I was thinking..."

"That was before," Lu Jingxiu interrupted him, his tone resolute. "A breakup is a breakup. I have no interest in her now, so you should stay out of her business from now on."

Tang Cheng grunted an "Mmm" on the other end and obediently shut his mouth.

Lu Jingxiu then asked, "How much about Nana did you tell her?"
