Chapter 9: Wall Slam? Childish

Before, Su Yun Jiao would send him several messages a day, never missing a morning or night greeting.

But since Su Yun Jiao got injured yesterday, she hasn't sent him a message all day.

The messages he sent to Su Yun Jiao, she also didn't reply.

Now, she even hung up the phone.

Lu Chi opened the chat with Su Yun Jiao on his phone again, then sent her a message in a commanding tone: "Call me back as soon as you see this!"

Lu Chi waited a minute, but there was no response from the other side.

In the past, if he sent this message, Su Yun Jiao would call back within three seconds.

Lu Chi furrowed his brows tightly.

What on earth is Su Yun Jiao throwing a tantrum about?

Noon.

Inside the branch office of L Group.

Su Yun Jiao waited in the lounge, her phone constantly popping up messages from Lu Chi.

Lu Chi: "Su Yun Jiao, haven't you woken up yet?"

Lu Chi: "You haven't even woken up and you hung up on me? What are you throwing a tantrum about?"

Lu Chi: "I didn't do it on purpose yesterday either; answer the phone first."

Lu Chi: "If you don't answer the phone, from now on we won't contact each other anymore!"

……

Su Yun Jiao picked up her phone, and upon seeing these messages she inexplicably felt a surge of irritation.

Really annoying!

Su Yun Jiao directly set Lu Chi to Do Not Disturb.

Outside the lounge, many employees peered inside.

"Who is that in the lounge? Boss Lu has never brought a girl to the company before."

"She's so cute; could she be Boss Lu's sister?"

"I haven't heard Boss Lu has a sister, and she's wearing the uniform of Hai Cheng Gao Zhong."

"When she just entered the company, she called Boss Lu 'big brother'; she must be his sister!"

……

"What are you doing blocking the way here?"

Secretary Li had just come out of the meeting room when he saw all the company's employees gathered at the lounge door.

Those employees hurried back to their workstations.

Secretary Li then relaxed his stern expression, opened the lounge door, and placed the prepared snacks and drinks in front of Su Yun Jiao.

"Miss Su, have a snack first; Boss Lu is still in a meeting."

"It's been two hours, and he's still in a meeting."

Secretary Li smiled and said, "Boss Lu said that after the meeting he'll take you out to eat."

Su Yun Jiao nodded thoughtfully.

Being a boss isn't easy either.

"Oh, right."

Secretary Li placed a set of test papers in front of Su Yun Jiao and said, "Boss Lu just said that if you're really bored, Miss Su, you can do these papers; they're all past College Entrance Exam papers printed on the company's printer. You're already a senior this year, so work hard."

"……"

Su Yun Jiao glanced at the test paper Secretary Li had placed before her and instantly felt a headache.

"Test paper?"

"Cut it out."

"After all these years since graduation, she's completely forgotten all her high school knowledge."

Su Yun Jiao vaguely recalled that in her previous life, she always ranked in the top ten of her grade on exams.

"It wasn't because she was especially smart."

"It was purely because Lu Chi disliked studying, and she had to learn desperately to help him cheat."

"After all, since middle school she's always been writing both her and Lu Chi's assignments, so even if she wanted to slack off on studying it would be difficult."

"Just thinking about how in her previous life she tossed studying aside and devoted herself entirely to Lu Chi."

Su Yun Jiao felt like smashing her lovesick brain to death.

"What's wrong? Miss Su, you don't want to do the paper?"

"……Do, do."

Su Yun Jiao forced a smile.

"I hope I can still recognize what trigonometry and solid geometry are."

At 1 p. m., Lu Jingqing's meeting finally ended.

When Secretary Li opened the lounge door, he saw Su Yun Jiao dozing off with a pen in her mouth.

"Boss Lu..."

Lu Jingqing raised a hand to stop Secretary Li from speaking.

He stepped forward two paces and picked up the test paper on the desk.

The test paper only had Su Yun Jiao's three characters written on it; aside from the first multiple-choice question, she hadn't written anything for almost any of the other questions.

Even the answer to the first question was wrong.

Lu Jingqing's brows furrowed slightly.

"Su Yun Jiao."

"Here!"

Su Yun Jiao stood up reflexively.

As she saw Lu Jingqing before her, the pen she was holding in her mouth also fell.

"Jingqing brother… you, you're done?"

Looking at Lu Jingqing's gaze, Su Yun Jiao inexplicably felt a bit guilty.

She didn't know exactly why.

Anyway, she just felt guilty.

Lu Jingqing picked up the test paper; doubt appeared for the first time in his deep eyes: "You can't even solve one problem?"

"……"

Monday

Lu Jingqing had someone drive Su Yun Jiao to school.

Before Su Yun Jiao even reached the classroom door, a strong force pulled her to the wall.

Su Yun Jiao's back ached from the impact.

Lu Chi pressed his hand heavily against the wall next to Su Yun Jiao's ear.

The distance between them was only one foot.

"Why didn't you reply to my message?"

Lu Chi's gaze was scorching, his tone full of aggression and questioning.

Su Yun Jiao only felt bewildered.

"Why should I reply to your message?"

A retort left Lu Chi stunned.

Yeah

Su Yun Jiao had no obligation to reply to his message.

But before, Su Yun Jiao had never acted this way.

"Move aside."

Su Yun Jiao raised her hand and shoved Lu Chi away.

"Playing wall-slam here?"

Childish

Su Yun Jiao limped toward the classroom.

Lu Chi closely followed: "I told you it wasn't intentional; that instrument is so heavy, you should have told me earlier."

"Tell you earlier?"

Su Yun Jiao's steps stopped; she glanced at Lu Chi out of the corner of her eye: "The class monitor did tell you earlier, but what did you say?"

For a moment, Lu Chi was at a loss for words.

He said, "It's fine, she's strong."

This time, Lu Chi suddenly lost the strength to follow Su Yun Jiao into class.

"Oh dear, isn't this Su Yun Jiao who rolled down the stairs for love?"

Zhou Tingting said from behind in a sarcastic tone: "Is your leg healed? No need to keep resting? You rushed to school just to lick Lu Chi?"

Several boys in the class were watching the spectacle.

Now the whole school knows: Su Yun Jiao of Senior Year Class Six rolled down from upstairs to fetch equipment for Lu Chi.

"Lu Chi, quickly comfort her; she fell down the stairs for you!"

"Yeah Lu Chi, quickly comfort your little fan; look how pitiful she is, she can't even walk properly."

A few boys beside nudged Lu Chi.

Lu Chi was a bit hesitant.

Because this time Su Yun Jiao seemed really angry.

Su Yun Jiao tidied the desk a bit, taking out all the books from the drawer.

Then she waved at Zhou Tingting: "Come on."

"What for?"

Zhou Tingting frowned, looking at Su Yun Jiao warily.

Su Yun Jiao said: "Give you the chance to be Lu Chi's desk mate; do you want it?"

Upon hearing that, Zhou Tingting was stunned.
