Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

While waiting for the noodles, Lu Ningning propped her chin up with her hands and stared intently at her older brother.

Lu Xing was a little confused by her gaze.

What are you doing now?

Lu Ningning lowered her voice.

"Tell me quickly, how did you two meet?"

"Um……"

Lu Xing shrugged.

"We had a meal together when school started."

Lu Ningning waited for a long time, but found that there was no further news.

"this one?"

"yes."

"Just...just a meal?"

"Um."

Lu Ningning looked doubtful.

"You can win over the school beauty just by having a meal together?"

Do you think I believe that?

Lu Xing smiled and looked up at her.

"The matter is far too complicated to explain in just a few words."

"So to put it simply, we met over a meal."

Lu Ningning was clearly not satisfied with this answer.

Soon, two bowls of noodles were served.

The noodles are topped with a thick layer of beef, and the soup is drizzled with chili oil and scallions, making them look incredibly tempting.

Lu Ningning lowered her head and slurped down a few bites.

After drinking the hot soup, she felt completely revived.

While eating, she asked, somewhat indistinctly:

"Brother, you weren't scammed, were you?"

Lu Xing was peeling a tea egg.

Upon hearing this, he paused for a moment.

"What?"

Lu Ningning swallowed the noodles, her face serious.

"It's that Shen Qingyi, I saw the post..."

"She's so pretty, and I saw the design on her bag!"

"I've heard from my classmates that these kinds of bags are quite expensive."

"So many people at school like her, why would she like you?"

Lu Xing: "..."

Although he knew Lu Ningning didn't mean to belittle him, her words still stung a little.

Lu Ningning added another sentence:

"Of course, you're great too, brother."

"that is……"

She considered her words for a moment.

"It feels like the kind of female lead who is incredibly capable and suddenly falls for the male lead who is picking up trash on the street."

Lu Xing expressionlessly placed the peeled egg into her bowl.

"Here, eat the egg the garbage collector gave you."

Lu Ningning looked down at the egg.

"...Thank you, brother."

After saying that, she continued to mutter to herself:

"I'm just afraid you'll get scammed."

Lu Xing lowered his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"If we're really talking about deception..."

"It's more likely that I'm the one lying to her."

Lu Ningning suddenly realized.

She picked up the noodles with her chopsticks and looked at Lu Xing with a complicated expression.

"So you used sweet talk to win her over, huh..."

I used to think he was quite dull.

Lu Xing instantly regained his expression and tapped Lu Ningning on the head.

"Just eat your noodles and don't worry about so many things."

Lu Ningning covered her head and accused:

"You're getting angry out of embarrassment!"

Lu Xing sneered.

"Also, you're not allowed to date at school."

Lu Ningning raised her head.

"what?"

Lu Xing's tone became serious.

"Even if I find out, I won't hit you."

"I'll wait for your 'boyfriend' to come out of the school gate."

"Even if it means paying for his medical expenses, we should still beat him up."

Lu Ningning: "..."

She looked at her brother, her expression gradually becoming indescribable.

"elder brother……"

"Um?"

"You're so vicious."

Lu Xing calmly said:

"Thank you for the compliment."

"..."

Lu Ningning slurped up a mouthful of noodles, and after a while, shook her head.

"I'm not interested in dating."

Lu Xing raised an eyebrow.

Why?

Lu Ningning looked completely at ease.

"I'd rather have some good food and watch a few episodes of anime than waste that time."

She picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth.

"The boys in school are all so immature, and they inexplicably like to brag."

"They always talk about what they'll do in the future..."

"Some people even claim they can take on ten people at once."

"As a result, during PE class, we had to run 800 meters, and he died even worse than me afterward."

Lu Xing listened in silence; he wanted to rest after running 800 meters too...

I think the boys ran a 1000-meter race?

Lu Ningning continued:

"So even if I wanted to date, I wouldn't like anyone."

Lu Xing's chopsticks froze in mid-air.

Teenage girls may not really understand what they like.

But it is precisely because of this lack of understanding that they are easily moved by cheap acts of kindness.

He put down his chopsticks and his expression became serious.

"Lu Ningning, you must remember this."

Lu Ningning was startled by his serious expression.

"what?"

Lu Xing stared at her and said, word by word:

"Even if a guy says he'll buy you delicious food every day, you absolutely cannot rush into dating him, understand?"

Lu Ningning looked at her brother with a shocked expression.

"Brother, I'm already in junior high school this year."

"And there's nothing wrong with my head."

Lu Xing nodded.

"That's true."

"Sorry, I've always been used to you having some kind of mental problem."

"Brother, you're so naughty."

Lu Xing shrugged.

"You're eating noodles bought by bad people."

Lu Ningning decided to enjoy the noodles on the table peacefully and stop arguing with him.

……

After finishing his noodles and returning home, Lu Xing yawned and curled up on the sofa to rest for a while.

Lu Ningning changed into slippers, hugged the ravaged dog plush toy, and sat down next to him.

After filling my stomach, I felt a bit lazy.

Lu Xing leaned back on the sofa and took out his phone to check the time.

It's only a little past nine o'clock...

He was planning to deal with the tool feedback in the afternoon and was thinking of taking a nap first.

The phone suddenly vibrated at that moment.

It was a message notification sound, and Lu Xing casually clicked on it.

Shen Qingyi sent me a photo.

On the plate are two slices of slightly charred toast, next to a soft-boiled egg, and half a cup of milk is peeking out from the corner of the photo.

Shen Qingyi: [Have you had breakfast?]

When Lu Xing saw the message, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

Lu Xing: [Just got home after eating.]

After sending it, he glanced at the photo again.

The toast was toasted to a golden brown and looked very tempting.

Lu Xing: [It looks delicious, I really want to eat it too...]

Lu Ningning was holding a plush toy and looking at her phone.

But when she caught a glimpse of her brother's smile out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but steal a glance at him.

Lu Xing's eyebrows relaxed, and his eyes held a gentle expression.

Lu Ningning silently looked away and tugged at the dog's ear.

Lu Xing put his phone back in his pocket and stretched while leaning back on the sofa.

"Lu Ningning".

"Um?"

"Have you done your weekend homework?"

Lu Ningning was stunned for a moment.

"……not yet."

When do you plan to write it?

"There are still two days left..."

Lu Xing glanced at her.

He got up, took a couple of steps, then turned back and added:

"Don't just play all weekend; finish your homework first before you can play properly."

"...Okay."

Lu Ningning dragged out the sound, her face showing disgust.

Lu Xing didn't care and turned to walk into the room.

He pushed open the door and sat down at the desk.

After setting up the computer and connecting it to the power supply, Lu Xing entered working mode.

He reviewed the feedback records, compiled a list of several frequently occurring issues, and then began to investigate them one by one.

The only sound in the room for a moment was the sound of a keyboard.

Lu Ningning was carrying her homework as she passed through the living room, intending to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

As she walked down the corridor, she subconsciously turned her head and glanced into the doorway.

Lu Xing sat in front of the computer, facing away from the door.

He looked down at his phone, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He then put his phone down and looked at the screen to continue typing.

Lu Ningjing watched quietly for a few seconds, then tiptoed back to the living room.
