Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 318: Chapter 317: Freeze to Death Here [First Update, Please Subscribe]

Lu Xiaobu finally returned to the audience, becoming a true spectator.

However, his seat was silently switched to another location.

It was changed to one of the most prominent seats among the audience.

You know, this kind of seat is usually reserved for real big shots, the sponsors who are big shots can sit there.

After all, once you sit in such a seat, the camera will frequently sweep over during the following performances.

More camera sweeps, more face time in front of the national audience.

This can bring a lot of unexpected benefits to their companies.

The most straightforward example, according to Liang Lan’s statistics later, was that because of Lu Xiaobu’s appearing on camera, cola sales increased by one-third, Shadow sales increased by one-fifth, and other companies saw growth of about 10% in their performance.

It is believed that after the New Year, there will be new changes to the third-level wealth ranking.

Moreover, these seats are not for just anyone who wants to sit there, money doesn’t mean everything.

For instance, the first place in the wealth ranking, Wen Family Hall, was sitting in the second-class seats, jealously and confusedly watching Lu Xiaobu, who was only 25th on the wealth ranking and not even in the top ten, sitting in a first-class seat.

Wen Family Hall didn’t know what was up, but the Spring Festival Gala crew knew.

Yeah, we can’t let this guy lose his cool any further.

If he continues, real trouble will arise!

...

The gala ended.

Lu Xiaobu returned home.

Then.

He received high praise from his family.

”Not bad, not bad. This time you actually kept your temper in check, didn’t lose it at all.”

Lu Hongbin nodded with satisfaction.

He had been worried all night that Lu Xiaobu might wreck the Spring Festival Gala.

Unexpectedly, nothing happened.

”Yes, it seems Lu Xiaobu has also learned to control himself, very good, very good! Come, let’s make dumplings for you to eat.”

Lu’s father also nodded with satisfaction.

”Of course, I’m definitely not a troublemaker.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded, speaking very seriously but talking nonsense.

Wu Qianmin, standing behind him, was desperately trying to keep her lips from twitching.

Right, you’re really not a troublemaker.

You almost demolished the Spring Festival Gala.

Uncle Lu, Big Brother Lu, you didn’t see when Lu Xiaobu was about to leave, the entire crew lined up to send him off!

If they weren’t concerned about pollution, they probably would have celebrated with firecrackers!

She guarantees that next year’s Spring Festival Gala, they definitely won’t want to invite Lu Xiaobu again.

...

At three o’clock in the early morning of the first day of the lunar new year.

”Hey, Xiaobu, come pick me up.”

Chili Pepper’s call came through.

”Why are you calling at this hour?”

Lu Xiaobu, yawning, asked.

He returned from Imperial late, so he hadn’t slept yet.

”I’m bored at home, it’s better to come back.”

Zhou Jingyuan said somewhat grumpily.

Her family really had enough of her.

Either they were constantly comparing or they were making snide remarks.

There were just two attitudes in the entire family.

One was saying she brought shame to the Zhou Family by running off to give herself to others.

The other was everyone trying to get close to her, wanting to meet Lu Xiaobu through her, and then meet Lin Feng through Lu Xiaobu.

Is this the New Year or a trade fair?

Can’t they have a little shame?!

So, holding back her urge to explode, she ate a meal and immediately left.

It was more comfortable to stay by Lu Xiaobu’s side.

Where she could play and be capricious!

”No way, I’m going to sleep, come back tomorrow.”

Lu Xiaobu really couldn’t be bothered to move, he had been running around all day.

”Are you coming or not?” Xiaobu immediately clenched her teeth and coldly snorted, ”If you don’t come, I’ll just freeze to death on the street.”

”Are you crazy?! Freeze to death on the street, who threatens people like that?”

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, completely speechless.

They say his way of thinking isn’t like a normal person’s.

He thinks Xiaobu’s way of thinking is the one that’s really not normal!

”Don’t believe me?”

Xiaobu’s temper suddenly flared up.

She originally hadn’t had a good time during the New Year, so she was already quite irritated.

Now, hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, her anger magnified.

The temper that hadn’t erupted for a long time couldn’t be suppressed anymore.

She was going to throw a tantrum!

”I’ll start a video call right now and let you watch me freeze to death here!”

Xiaobu said angrily, then threw Lu Xiaobu a link.

By this time, Lu Xiaobu had actually already gotten up from the bed.

He knew that Xiaobu really meant what she said.

But still, he opened the video call request that Xiaobu had sent him.

Seeing Xiaobu’s outfit, Lu Xiaobu nodded, his eyes lighting up.

Usually, she was always around and he didn’t pay much attention, but seeing her so suddenly in this cold...

Yep, it’s still the same old Xiaobu, who could wear anything and make it look tempting.

At the moment, Xiaobu had her hair tied up, with fluffy bangs in the front that made her look playful and cute.

Of course, that’s if you ignore her angry and unreasonable gaze!

She was wearing a short, fur-lined leather jacket on top, with a warm black wool sweater underneath.

However, as always, this otherwise extremely cute outfit couldn’t conceal her prominent curves.

Suddenly, this cute outfit took on an extremely tempting feel.

Her lower half was clad in tight, warm leather pants, making her slightly shorter legs compared to Liang Lan and Su Luoxue look more elongated.

Yep, those legs wrapped around the waist, oh my!

Lu Xiaobu was still appreciating, when Xiaobu began to take off her clothes.

Actually, she didn’t remove much, just took off that little leather jacket.

However, Xiaobu’s outfit was already minimal in terms of cold resistance, and now with it removed.

Instantly, Lu Xiaobu could clearly see Xiaobu shivering violently.

But even so, Xiaobu still stared fiercely at Lu Xiaobu in the video, ”See that? If you don’t come, or you finish coming, I’ll just freeze to death here.”

”Fine, keep freezing; I’m currently in Shimen, driving to the airport, the flight will take off, plus the flight time, about less than two hours in total, keep freezing, huh.”

Lu Xiaobu yawned as he spoke.

He wasn’t going to indulge Xiaobu.

If she wanted to freeze, then let her freeze, if she gets sick, he’d just take her to the doctor.

You should know, him being threatened was already giving her enough face.

”Uh...”

Upon hearing this, Xiaobu’s body suddenly stiffened.

Not from freezing, but from being stiffened by Lu Xiaobu’s words.

Damn, right!

How could I forget this detail?

It will take time for him to fly over.

Why did I take off my clothes so early?!

Looking for a freeze?!

Her eyes involuntarily glanced at the leather jacket she had thrown on the ground, internally hesitating—should I put it on again?!

Then...

She looked up and saw Lu Xiaobu’s smirk.

Humph, not wearing it, just not wearing it!

It’s just two hours!

She endured it!

If she froze, she would crawl into Lu Xiaobu’s blanket tonight and let him suffer with her!

Humph, humph, humph!
