Chapter 39: Lu Chi Went Downstairs
What Qin Xue didn't know was that Lu Chi never wore a scarf, because although the clothing of wealthy families is made of thin material, it is very warm, and since it's warm, there's no need for a scarf.
As for woolen fleece, for ordinary people it is certainly warm, but for them it is optional.
Therefore, it's not even considered precious; in their view, this scarf is not as good as what their servants use.
However, since the scarf was handmade by Qin Xue, Xiao Chi's reaction was passable: "Thank you for your effort, I will treasure this scarf."
Hearing Lu Chi say he would properly cherish the scarf she gave him, Qin Xue couldn't help but smile.
"Good."
Qin Xue lowered her head, her face full of a young woman's shyness.
"Brother Lu, your house is huge, where is the restroom?"
Lu Chi's thoughts were pulled back, and he said, "I'll have the servant take you there."
Soon, a pretty maid appeared before them.
One of the female classmates took Qin Xue's hand and said, "Xiao Xue, I also want to go to the restroom, come with me."
Qin Xue originally wanted to be alone with Lu Chi, but she couldn't resist her close friend calling her, so she could only nod in agreement.
"Alright then, I'll accompany you."
Qin Xue followed beside her close friend.
The boys from Class Liu Ban felt novelty wherever they went: "Their hallway is almost bigger than my house."
"Yeah, how can there be such a long hallway?"
"Brother Lu's family is really rich, I'm envious."
The maid had never seen so many unsophisticated people; although she looked down on them in her heart, because they were Lu Chi's friends, she patiently led them to the restroom door.
"The restroom is right here, please make yourselves at home."
The restroom here is actually separated by gender, and I've never seen anyone have a gender-separated restroom at home.
"Xiao Xue, this place is incredibly luxurious, it's practically a palace."
"Yeah, yeah, I've never seen such a beautiful restroom before! It's even nicer than those in malls."
"This aromatherapy smells amazing, what brand is your family's? I want one too!"
"Just a moment, I'll ask the young master."
The maid really couldn't stand these country bumpkins, so she turned and went back to the hall.
Lu Chi's own classmates hadn't returned yet, and he frowned: "Wasn't I supposed to have you take them to the restroom? Why did you come back first?"
"Young master, one of your classmates just said they really liked the aromatherapy in the restroom and wanted to know what brand it is."
The maid's words already tried to conceal her disdain as much as possible.
However, Lu Chi could still tell from the maid's tone, and he said indifferently, "Just go to the warehouse and give them a bottle at random; it's not anything special, and even if you tell them the brand, they can't afford it."
From Lu Chi's words, the maid could also see that their young master looked down on those classmates.
Indeed, having never seen the world, they are just like country bumpkins entering the city for the first time.
No wonder their young master despises them.
"Then I'll go prepare it now."
The maid went to the warehouse and prepared the aromatherapy according to the number of people.
After everyone came out, they ate quite a bit more in the Lu Family's hall.
They even ate almost all of the desserts that the upper-class folks usually don't like.
Qin Xue walked up to Lu Chi and asked, "Lu Chi, what's wrong? Are you not feeling happy?"
"Nothing."
Lu Chi's mind kept flashing images of Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing leaving; the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became.
"I've noticed you haven't messaged me much these past few days; if you have anything upsetting, you can tell me. I may not be able to help much, but I can share some of your emotions."
Qin Xue's eyes were full of worry for Lu Chi.
Before, what most excited Lu Chi about Qin Xue was her gentle concern.
But now, Lu Chi's mind is filled only with Su Yun Jiao.
Usually they went to and from school together, almost inseparable, and at that time Lu Chi didn't feel anything.
Only recently, with Su Yun Jiao not by his side, did he start feeling awkward.
It felt as if he had lost a very important person in his life.
Lu Chi shook his head and then told Qin Xue, "Really, it's nothing; go play with them, later we can go downstairs to sing KTV."
"Really? Can we sing KTV?"
Not far away, Lu Chi's brothers heard this and immediately ran over: "Brother Lu, your house is amazing, you even have a KTV, what else don't you have?"
"How about a billiards hall? Is there a billiards hall?"
"A gym! I've heard that wealthy families all have gyms, and even private cinemas."
Several people's faces were filled with curiosity.
Lu Chi saw that these people had never seen the world, and he merely said lightly, "We have all of those, on the third floor; if you want to play, just go play."
The other classmates, hearing they could go play, were almost overcome with joy.
Lu Chi's face showed no extra expression.
Qin Xue beside him also could hardly contain her desire to see just how luxurious the Lu Family's home really was.
She looked at Lu Chi beside her and cautiously asked, "Lu Chi, let's go play together."
Lu Chi had never refused Qin Xue's requests before, and this time he agreed as well.
Several classmates went together to the downstairs KTV; Lu Chi wasn't very interested in singing, but for high schoolers who had never seen the world, being able to sing KTV at home was a very luxurious thing.
"Brother Lu, your house is really huge; this KTV is bigger than the private room we went to last time at the club, and the equipment is all the best—it's simply awesome!"
Let me stay here for a few days—I don't even know how happy I'd be.
Lu Chi, can we really pull an all-nighter?
All the questioners were just Lu Chi's little followers in class.
Lu Chi used to often bring classmates to his house to play when he was in junior high; staying for several days was fine, after all his family had many rooms, but friends before junior high generally came from very well-off families, most classmates were as wealthy as Zhou Xian's family.
So Lu Chi never felt embarrassed.
But this time he was somewhat unwilling to let his classmates stay here.
He felt they would dirty his place.
Lu Chi casually made up a lie, saying: "Playing all night is fine, but we might not be able to stay; my family has strict rules, we don't let outsiders stay at home."
Hearing that, the people around felt a bit disappointed, but still expressed understanding.
After all, his family is so rich—what if something gets lost?
At that moment, a classmate suddenly asked: "Lu Chi, isn't Su Yun Jiao staying at your house? Why don't we see her?"
