His distinctly cold expression, heroic gaze, and striking features conveyed a kind of aggressive beauty.

Although his sitting posture was relaxed and casual, his aura was like a sharp sword with concealed edge.

It was the girl that Zuo Le and Tu Mi met at the martial arts academy yesterday—the one whose very breath caused a stinging sensation.

Zuo Le, unaware of the other party's purpose, simply put down her chopsticks and made a questioning gesture.

The girl didn't speak immediately, but instead took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket—the familiar Shanghai health supplement.

He took two sticks and handed one to Zuo Le across from him.

To be honest, her action stunned Zuo Le a bit. This was the cafeteria, a no-smoking area clearly stipulated by Jingkong Academy.

However, he still accepted the cigarette, as a matter of politeness and habit.

"Thank you."

Zuo Le originally thought that the other party's gesture of offering a cigarette was just a polite gesture when they first met, which is also the usual way smokers get to know each other.

After all, the school rules are there, and we can't go too far.

Unexpectedly, the girl put the cigarette in her mouth and did so right in front of Zuo Le and the academy guards.

Click~ It's lit...

Zuo Le froze on the spot, subconsciously looking at the guard at the door.

To be honest, he didn't really want to report the girl on the other side; he just wanted to see the guard's attitude. But the usually strict guard seemed to be blind to it.

Not only did he not comply, he also turned his head away.

Pretending to be blind?

The girl seemed to have taken all of this for granted.

She picked up Zuo Le's drink, poured it into a bowl, pushed the bowl back to Zuo Le, and without wasting anything, used the empty drink bottle as an ashtray, flicking off the cigarette ash.

Hiss~ Whoosh!

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lu Chaoxi," the girl finally spoke.

Zuo Le was taken aback when he heard the name, because he saw the favorability rating of the third person besides Tangyuan and Tumi.

Lu Chaoxi

【Favourability: 0】

【Characteristic S - Nobility and Sharpness】: Only by following one's heart can one transform the fate of ups and downs into a flower that is destined to bloom.

【Trait A - Unfettered Body】: Unfettered body, boundless martial arts, once a punch is thrown, no mountain can stand in its way.

【Characteristic C - Slowness】: Foolish girl, are you going to continue to be slow-witted?

[Introduction: Willpower is precisely why destiny sometimes blossoms into fate; strength and fragility are separated by only a single thought.]

"Picking flowers in the morning and evening?" Zuo Le muttered to himself.

"My name is……"

He was about to introduce himself, but the other person interrupted him.

His tone was stern, with a clear sense of distance:

"You don't need to introduce yourself. I know your name is Zuo Le, a third-year student in the psychic department. You haven't made any academic or theoretical achievements, nor have you achieved any substantial results."

Ok.

The original owner's underwear was like this; no need to check, it was definitely rotten.

Zuo Le didn't intend to defend his past; it was pointless, it was all in the past.

But he still didn't know the other party's intentions.

"Lu Chaoxi, is this all you came to see me about today?"

Lu Chaoxi's eyes turned cold at this moment, her gaze filled with obvious aggression and hostility:

What is your relationship with Tu Qi?

"Tuqi?"

Zuo Le was taken aback. What did he have to do with Tu Qi?

But he immediately realized something was wrong.

Clearly, the other party had already noticed Tu Mi's presence yesterday and mistook her for Tu Qi.

It was because I held Tu Mi's hand that Lu Chaoxi misunderstood.

Zuo Le wasn't sure, so she could only tentatively reply:

"how?"

Lu Chaoxi's expression was solemn, as if she was brewing anger, but then she suddenly relaxed:

"Forget it, I don't want to ask what your relationship with her is. Anyway, don't see her again."

Chapter 23 Zuo Le Yi Wan Qian!

"They won't let us meet?"

Zuo Le raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. This woman, why is she meddling in things so much?

Even if Tu Qi didn't actually date him, what business is it of yours if she did find a boyfriend?

Normally, Zuo Le would definitely ignore such a person.

But this matter concerns the blooming of the rose...

The other party mistook Tu Qi for Tu Mi, which is why they issued today's warning.

Tu Mi is in a state of running away from home. If you refuse the other person's request, will the person investigate further and bring up Tu Mi?

Thinking of this, Zuo Le immediately swallowed his rebuttal.

Fine, I'll protect these stray dogs.

He neither immediately agreed nor rejected it, but instead showed hesitation.

He propped one elbow on the table, rubbed his forehead with his fingers, and looked very troubled.

"May I ask why?"

"Don't you know her identity?" Lu Chaoxi frowned.

Zuo Le thought to himself that Tu Qi's identity was indeed suspicious, and that Tu Mi, that stray dog, had lied to him again!

Suppressing his inner complaints about Tu Mi, he once again feigned surprise and confusion, leaning slightly forward:

"Does she have some special identity?"

Lu Chaoxi took a drag of her cigarette, watching Zuo Le's reaction, but a question arose in her mind:

"Tuqi didn't tell him her identity?"

That's true. Only by concealing her identity and approaching him as an ordinary person could she have a normal relationship with him.

If that's the case, then Zuo Le can't be accused of currying favor with the powerful.

For a moment she didn't know how to explain, so she could only flick her cigarette ash in frustration:

"As I just said, you don't need to ask so many questions. In short, she's not an ordinary person. There's no good outcome for you two if you stay together. Leaving her will only benefit you."

Zuo Le immediately lowered her eyes to avoid the other person's gaze.

He was unsure whether to agree or continue to decline.

He quickly analyzed it in his mind.

He promised to protect Tu Mi's information from being exposed for a short time, as long as Lu Chaoxi didn't go to Tu Qi to confirm, but that would make him seem irresponsible.

Making excuses might anger Lu Chaoxi, causing her to target him, and Lu Chaoxi would definitely go to Tu Qi to question him.

Based on risk...

Zuo Le immediately agreed:

"I see."

So what if he's a jerk? If we agree, it'll be safer for both of us.

Sure enough, after Zuo Le agreed, Lu Chaoxi's eyes immediately showed disdain, and her favorability rating dropped to -5.

"He really is a man without any sense of responsibility, but for both of them, it was the right choice."

Lu Chaoxi thought to herself, then immediately took out an envelope from her pocket and handed it to Zuo Le.

"You made the right choice. This is your compensation. Take it. I don't need to tell you what to do next, right?"

Zuo Le looked at the envelope in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Another decision to make!

There was clearly a sum of money inside. Taking it would invite even greater contempt, but not taking it would certainly not put the other party at ease.

Should I take it?

Nonsense, not taking it would be the real idiot!

Zuo Le immediately put the envelope into his pocket. Judging from the thickness of the envelope, it contained at least 10,000 yuan!

He forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to turn upwards.

He tried his best to show a sad expression:

"I know what to do."

Seeing that Zuo Le didn't even question her, Lu Chaoxi immediately lost the desire to talk. Feeling frustrated, her favorability towards Zuo Le dropped again to -10.

In her opinion, someone like Zuo Le was not worthy of Tu Qi at all.

"gone."

Zuo Le didn't care about her gaze, nor did he care how much affection Lu Chaoxi had for him.

He kept his head down and pursed his lips, trying not to laugh.

He waited silently until he was completely certain that Lu Chaoxi had left before reaching into his pocket.

This thickness is really comfortable...

"Auntie, please add an extra serving of sliced ​​beef!"

……

Go back to dorms.

As soon as the door opened, Zuo Le felt the surging energy in the room. The dark aura emanating from Tu Mi was even more sinister than the void.

In fact, he had already noticed the difference between Tu Mi and himself when he was cultivating yesterday.

Even with a simple breathing technique, the results she achieved were completely different.

The dark air currents were very noticeable last night.

But just as Shen He respected him today, Zuo Le also chose to respect Tu Mi. He remained silent until Tu Mi finished a cycle of breathing exercises before speaking:

"Dinner's ready."

Tu Mi calmed the dark energy swirling around her body, jumped off the bed, grabbed a chicken leg, and casually asked:

"Chicken leg! Where did you get the money?"

Zuo Le didn't say anything, just stared straight at her, exchanging glances.

Zuo Le: I know you stole it.

Tu Mi: I know you know.

Zuo Le: I know you know I know.

Tumi: OK.

Therefore, the person who wronged you knows better than anyone how wronged you are; similarly, the person who stole your money knows better than anyone how poor you are.

The thief, Tu Mi, proactively changed the subject:
