Chapter 70: with translation of chapter title
Lu Xun!
The next day, when Lu Xun left the school gate, Chu Youqing was already waiting there.
Sunlight shone on the tips of her hair, giving off a faint glow, making her look as pure as an elf.
Seeing Lu Xun, she bounded over like a happy fawn and, without a word, linked her arm with his.
Today is the weekend.
Last night, Chu Youqing messaged Lu Xun, saying she wanted to go out shopping with him.
These days she has been busy cultivating, and she hasn't seen Lu Xun for a while.
Thanks to the Jia clan's elixir boosting business, Qingbei Jie still has many people.
So Lu Xun and Chu Youqing did not go to Qingbei Jie; instead, they headed to several major malls in the capital.
They shopped until afternoon, buying quite a few things.
Aunt.
At dusk, in front of a luxurious restaurant, Chu Youqing excitedly waved her hand.
Just stepping out of the car, Murong Wan saw Lu Xun and involuntarily froze.
Today is the weekend; Chu Youqing specially called her to get together.
She thought it would just be Chu Youqing and her.
Who would have known, Chu Youqing was with Lu Xun.
Lu Xun was also a bit speechless.
He really wanted to open Chu Youqing's little skull to see just how thick her brains are.
"Aunt, your progress is really fast; I can't keep up with you."
"Lu Xun, what are you spacing out for? Don't you like the food here?"
In the restaurant, Chu Youqing's voice kept sounding.
Lu Xun and Murong Wan didn't speak much, so Chu Youqing became the one who talked the most among the three.
If any students from the Xu Void Academy were here, they would surely be surprised.
Is this still that aloof campus belle?
Yes, Chu Youqing, the campus belle of Rong Cheng No. 1 High, has now also been voted campus belle of the Xu Void Academy by the freshmen.
The Xu Void Academy isn't lacking beauties; it's just that past campus belles rarely appear, so their presence among the freshmen is weak.
And the freshmen are the most vocal on the campus network and groups.
The clueless Chu Youqing seemed completely unaware of the subtlety of this meal.
The relationship between Lu Xun and Murong Wan is too special.
If it weren't for the second intimate encounter, it would actually be fine.
The first time was long ago, and Murong Wan doesn't intend to develop things further with Lu Xun; her mindset is already calm.
But because of Murong Yan, Lu Xun and Murong Wan had a second intimate contact.
Strictly speaking, it's not a second time, but a second stage.
Now when they meet again, sitting at the same table with Chu Youqing, there is inevitably a bit of awkwardness.
There's nothing to be done.
After all, Chu Youqing is Lu Xun's girlfriend, and Murong Wan is her aunt.
The relationship among them is too complicated.
"Wow, Moonfolk!"
On the performance stage in the restaurant's center, several singers whose skin glowed with faint moonlight began to chant.
Chu Youqing's attention was instantly drawn, her eyes sparkling.
The Moonfolk's singing flowed like a clear spring, making the whole restaurant fall silent.
The Moonfolk are also a foreign race.
Unlike the Shadowfolk, the Moonfolk are a relatively gentle and friendly foreign race.
Their planet shattered at an ancient route node, destroyed in an instant; countless Moonfolk died tragically, leaving only a small portion struggling to survive in the Starry Ancient Road.
These Moonfolk are relatively friendly, offering some help to Lan Xing, helping it avoid some dangers, thereby earning the chance to stay on Lan Xing.
On Lan Xing now, there are not a few foreign races like the Moonfolk who have stayed for various reasons.
Some of those foreign races that differ little from humans have even begun to integrate into Lan Xing.
In the state's enforced random marriage allocation, some foreign races participate; if someone is unlucky, they may be assigned a foreign-race partner.
To many women, this seems very frightening.
After all, that is not human.
Of course, there are also foreign women allocated to human men.
Some say the state's purpose in doing this is, first, to unite more strength; second, the mixed-blood children born this way often have some unique traits.
These foreign peoples generally live in fixed areas, with little overlap with ordinary people.
"Lu Xun, you and your aunt are at the same school; you can communicate more often. Your cultivation has grown so fast, you could bring her along more."
After the Moonfolk finished their song, Chu Youqing, perhaps feeling the atmosphere a bit dull, became lively again.
As she spoke, her eyes curved like crescent moons, completely unaware that Murong Wan's fingers under the table had tightened slightly.
"Good."
Lu Xun gave a brief reply, then naturally picked a piece of roasted goose for Chu Youqing: "Youqing, this is good, try it."
"Aunt, you try it too."
Then Lu Xun, as an afterthought, gave Murong Wan a piece of roasted goose.
This sudden action made Murong Wan visibly startle, her fingers gripping the glass tightening unconsciously.
Lu Xun's way of addressing her made her ears even slightly hot.
"Auntie, I toast you."
Lu Xun lifted his drink, his gaze calm.
Murong Wan had to raise her cup in response; as she sipped lightly, her lowered lashes cast a faint shadow on her cheeks.
"Auntie, this is the Jueyue vegetable introduced by the Moon clan; try it."
"Auntie, I'll pour you some wine."
"Auntie, I'll add more rice for you..."
Lu Xun's 'auntie offensive' came wave after wave.
He served Murong Wan dishes, poured wine, refilled tea, just short of feeding her.
Murong Wan's cheeks flushed scarlet at a visible speed, even her neck tinged with a faint pink.
Chu Youqing's words also gradually became fewer.
Although Lu Xun, whenever he served dishes, always gave her first, then Murong Wan.
But Lu Xun showed such enthusiasm and concern for Murong Wan that Chu Youqing inevitably felt a bit jealous.
In her heart, a sour feeling rose.
"Lu Xun, no thanks, I'm full."
Murong Wan couldn't take it anymore, she refused due to being full.
"I'm full too."
Chu Youqing put down her chopsticks, her voice a few degrees lower than usual.
Only then did Lu Xun put down his chopsticks.
Watching the somewhat sullen Chu Youqing, Lu Xun finally felt that his girlfriend was a normal person.
At least, she also gets jealous.
"Lu Xun, Auntie, today's meal was fun; let's gather like this every month from now on?"
Just as he thought that, Chu Youqing came up with a new proposal.
Lu Xun: "..."
He silently took back his previous thought.
