Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1345: Chapter 1297: Excited Lul Xun

”Mi’er, sister, let me live at your place for a while.” Mi Zhen rushed over to Zhen Mi after Chen Xi left, hugged Zhen Mi, and said tearfully.

”What’s wrong with you?” Zhen Mi hugged Mi Zhen, patted her back, and asked in bewilderment, looking at her tearful eyes.

Mi Zhen quietly recounted the earlier events to Zhen Mi, and the surrounding ladies, all keen of hearing, listened in and chuckled quietly. Mi Zhen loved to tease people, those familiar with her knew, but this time she had played with fire.

”You can avoid for a while but not forever; who asked you to make reckless wishes?” Zhen Mi patted Mi Zhen’s back and then changed the subject, ”You can stay at my place for now.”

When Chen Xi went out with the exam papers, the scholars participating in the exam mostly focused on answering the questions. However, no one seemed to be able to answer the fifth question despite repeated attempts, ultimately leaving them feeling relaxed; everyone had thoughts of pondering the last question, but there was truly nowhere to start.

”Did you figure it out?” Lu Yu asked, looking with a dark face at Lul Xun, who seemed smug during the exam. The first four questions were a bit challenging for him, but he undoubtedly solved them; however, the last question—was it even humanly possible?

”No!” Lul Xun replied nonchalantly, ”That problem was impossible to start on; what’s worth doing?”

”...” Lu Yu was dumbfounded, wondering what kind of talk this was; if you couldn’t solve it, why show off? You almost scared this young master to tears with your smiling face during the exam.

”You go ahead, I have something to do today.” Lul Xun turned his head, indicating that Lu Yu could leave without waiting for him, as he was busy today.

”Are you on the wrong medication today?” Lu Yu felt that Lul Xun’s demeanor today seemed a bit off, oddly cheerful despite not solving the problem.

”You’re the one on the wrong medication! Shoo, shoo, seeing as I’m in a good mood today, I won’t bother arguing with you.” Lul Xun said with slight irritation, then recalling Mi Zhen, felt happy again, thus waving his hand to signal Lu Yu to leave quickly.

Lu Yu was bewildered; this time, it seemed completely out of sync with Lul Xun, not understanding why he was so pleased—it wasn’t logical.

”Ahem, ahem, ahem, I think you should go see Physician Hua as well for some medication; though not answering the question is a bit frustrating, people are more important than the problem.” Lu Yu pondered deeply, believing his dear comrade might be greatly stressed and unable to handle the pressure.

”Shoo, shoo, you go away, you’re the one who needs medication.” Lul Xun said slightly annoyed; he wondered how he never noticed Lu Yu, who was always sticking around him, had such a wild imagination.

”It’s truly strange; if it were before, you’d surely argue with me. Today it seems like you’re not bothered at all.” Lu Yu curiously remarked.

Lul Xun perhaps felt that he might as well reveal a bit, thinking it would be dull being happy all by himself, or perhaps thinking Lu Yu, this clingy friend, sticking to him wasn’t a good thing either.

”It’s like this...” Lul Xun slowly recounted the events of the previous day, ”So, stop bothering me; go home and study well. I’m waiting for someone.”

Lu Yu was left speechless, finally coming to his senses, then angrily scolded, ”You scoundrel! I can’t believe I befriended someone like you, you disgraceful person! Haven’t you heard the saying, ’Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself’?”

Lul Xun yawned, ”She is my fiancée; if you’re envious, just say so. If you don’t want to be friends, then leave quickly and go home to study.”

Single Lu Yu wanted to angrily rebuke Lul Xun, but after pondering, he realized he had nothing else to say but envy. After being critically hit by Lul Xun, he slunk away, his once good friend having now left him.

”From today, you are my enemy.” Lu Yu suddenly stopped, turned back, and angrily shouted at Lul Xun after running a few steps.

Yet Lul Xun merely turned, yawned at Lu Yu, indicating he’d heard him, then smiled casually and waved his hand indifferently, signaling Lu Yu to go home and read books; he was waiting for his fiancée...

When Chen Xi emerged, Lul Xun was waiting eagerly, prompting Chen Xi to ask curiously, ”How did Boyan do? I noticed your good mood during the exam.”

”I couldn’t solve the fifth question.” Lul Xun scratched his head and said awkwardly, truly at a loss for words before his teacher at this moment.

”I figured. Go home and read more books; make sure to take tomorrow’s law exam seriously.” Chen Xi chuckled and said, then left with the papers, while Lul Xun stood at the door smiling broadly, waiting for Mi Zhen; he had to wait for Mi Zhen today, no matter what.

For Lul Xun, nothing was more important than waiting for Mi Zhen today, even if it meant skipping tomorrow’s exam.

When Mi Zhen and her familiar group emerged with Zhen Mi, she saw her little husband standing at the door with a broad grin waiting for her.

”Thank you, everyone, for bringing my wife out.” Lul Xun didn’t bother with decorum at this moment, directly stepping forward to bar the group and then graciously bowed and thanked them warmly.

Zhen Mi and her group looked at Mi Zhen helplessly; they had no choice when he was waiting for her like that. Besides, she was his legal wife anyway, whether a bit late or early didn’t matter.

”Darling, I have some intimate words to discuss with Mi’er, sister. You should go home and prepare for the exam tomorrow.” Mi Zhen said, face flushed like a red apple.

”Today’s test made me realize I was merely viewing the world from a well; tomorrow’s political and law exams are more important than the arithmetic exam. I think I need to study for a few more years.” Lul Xun sighed, speaking with a tone of enlightenment.

”Ahem, ahem, Boyan, you’re so smart, keep studying hard. I remember your goal is to become a great man like your teacher, so I think you won’t mind a girl’s slip of the tongue.” Mi Zhen said, extremely embarrassed, her face turning red.

Lul Xun took a step forward, moving close to Mi Zhen, then did her favorite comparison gesture; his hand moved from his head down to Mi Zhen’s chin—it was a significant growth since he reached her neck during the New Year.

Immediately, the other ladies started chuckling, yet Lul Xun was completely unworried watching Mi Zhen become shy.

”What exactly do you want?” Mi Zhen said, frenzied.

”Come back tonight.” Lul Xun glanced at Mi Zhen and said; his face was impassive, but inwardly, he was extremely excited because it was the first time he seized the initiative before Mi Zhen.

”Then I might as well go with you now.” Mi Zhen said meekly; Lul Xun had discarded all decency, and although she could act like nothing happened, she couldn’t do it under Lul Xun’s clear gaze, she couldn’t!

Mi Zhen, striking a tragic figure like in the Yishui River’s cold wind, was seized and taken away by Lul Xun, while Zhen Mi and the others smiled wryly watching the two leave.
