Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

Chapter 18 People Have Many Faces
……

"Sister Ning Xue, Brother Cheng is fine and will be back soon."

At Lu Cheng's house, Ye Xinxia was sitting with Mu Ningxue.

"Then I'll go first." Mu Ningxue stood up.

"Wait a moment!" Ye Xinxia quickly pulled Mu Ningxue back.

"Sister Ning Xue, you should make things clear with Brother A Cheng."

Mu Ningxue's expression was a little unnatural. "I've already said it and apologized, but he ignored me."

Ye Xinxia looked strange, "How did you apologize?"

"I told him that there was nothing going on between Mo Fan and me. I was just impulsive that night. If he still wants to get engaged, I will agree," Mu Ningxue said.

"And then?" Ye Xinxia asked.

"No more." Mu Ningxue said calmly.

"..."

"No more?" Ye Xinxia was stunned.

No, sister, you call this an apology?

"What was your tone and attitude like at that time?" Ye Xinxia asked.

Brother Acheng has a very good temper and he is soft-hearted and will not tolerate harsh words. As long as you speak nicely to him, he will basically not care.

"What tone?" Mu Ningxue asked back.

"..."Ye Xinxia.

Very good! I have roughly guessed the truth of the matter!

With your icy attitude that keeps people at a distance, if I didn't know that you have been like this since you were a child, with Brother Cheng's temper, he would have only beaten you because you are a woman!

……

On the way home, Lu Cheng got into Tang Yue's private car.

"Why do I feel like you don't particularly care about this?" Tang Yue asked curiously.

When a teenage boy is stood up by his fiancée at his engagement party, he would probably feel like his world is shattered if he experiences such a thing.

She had been fortunate enough to see a similar scene before, and she felt like she was about to cry on the spot.

After all, adolescent children are very sensitive and fragile, especially when it comes to this kind of ignorant love affairs. Any slight setback will cause a huge emotional backlash.

She wouldn't find it strange even if they became enemies because of this.

But when she looked at Lu Cheng, he didn't seem very angry when he mentioned that incident just now. It seemed more like... helplessness.

Helplessness towards children.

"What do you care about?" Lu Cheng asked back.

"Being angry at the time was my instinct as a man. As for the aftermath, it's over. Only people with low self-esteem and fragile feelings would harbor resentment over a small setback. This kind of thing was originally consensual. If the other party doesn't want to, I naturally won't force it."

"Besides, do I look like someone that girls like?"

Tang Yue looked strange, but had no way to refute.

Not to mention in a small place like Bo City, even if he were placed outside, there would be nothing wrong with Lu Cheng's appearance and temperament.

But, isn’t this child an orphan?
A person whose parents disappeared when he was five or six years old. His looks can be said to be inherited, but his temperament...

"I'm really curious about how you've been living these years." Tang Yue said seriously.

"Your temperament is totally out of tune with your classmates."

Temperament is a special feeling that requires a lot of time to train and cultivate. It cannot be faked and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

For example, Mo Fan is an inexperienced, noisy fool who never thinks before speaking or doing anything, and only cares about momentary pleasure. He also has a sense of superiority that he is the only one sober while everyone else is drunk, and looks down on ordinary people who kowtow to the Mu family.

Even though that kid had great talent, he rashly created enemies for himself when he was still weak, and the reasons he gave for making enemies... were not only unreasonable, but also ridiculous!

How should I put it? It's in line with the impulse of this age.

But the feeling Lu Cheng gave her...

"How else can I live? I'll just live alone." Lu Cheng leaned against the window.

I lived like this in my last life, so it won’t be any different in this one.

No, I was poor in my previous life, but at least I have money in this life. I can eat whatever I want and wear whatever I want without worrying too much.

Reincarnation is also a technical job. Tang Yue paused, "Although this sentence is a bit rude, but it is really not easy for you to have such a stable and self-disciplined personality in an environment where no one teaches you and no one cares about you. "

Parents and family have the most profound influence on a person.

Lu Cheng gives people the impression of being very independent, without any childishness at all. Since he has had no one to rely on since he was a child, Lu Cheng always gives people a feeling of being out of place in the crowd.

In fact, most of the time, Lu Cheng could be described as indifferent.

"Stable?" Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"It's not that I'm stable, it's that I don't have the qualifications to be unstable."

"I also want to be willful and do whatever I want, but I know that I am not qualified, no one will back me up, and no one will tolerate my willfulness."

"I can only live like the coward that great genius described, cautiously, fearing I might take a wrong step."

Tang Yue's face was bitter, "You are so mature that it makes me feel distressed."

Children aged fifteen or sixteen are in the prime of their youth. They should be carefree, full of energy and as enthusiastic as the morning sun.

But Lu Cheng was like the moon hanging alone in the deep night sky, quiet and lonely...

"Feeling heartbroken?" Lu Cheng turned around.

"Do you need me to massage you? I know a little bit about massage and my technique is pretty good."

Tang Yue's eyes twitched, "I really can't tell which side of you is real."

Sometimes he is a quiet handsome man, and sometimes he is a playboy who flirts with other women.

Who can blame him for being so handsome?

When a handsome person says dirty words, it is called romantic, but when an ugly person says dirty words, it is vulgar.

Of course, it also depends on the occasion and the scale. Lu Cheng would not just go up to anyone and say dirty words to them.

At least, this boy hasn't told other female classmates about it at school.

"It's all true." Lu Cheng shrugged.

"People are multifaceted. There is no such thing as a consistent person."

"People have many faces, and their hearts are changeable."

"Just like my sincerity towards you before, that was real, but people's hearts change rapidly, what's real can be fake, what's fake can be real."

"..."

"What about now?" Tang Yue asked.

"Is your heart true?"

"Is what you say still true?" Lu Cheng looked at the small villa that was getting closer and closer. It was the small house his parents left for him.

"Besides, I told you, can you believe it?"

Tang Yue curled her lips, "I really don't dare."

……

"Ok?"

When she reached the door, Tang Yue smelled a warm fragrance.

"I remember that your sister Xinxia is disabled. Are you really asking her to cook?"

"She just can't stand up, she's not unable to move. What can't she do?" Lu Cheng opened the door.

He decided to keep the matter of Ye Xinxia's legs a secret for the time being. After all, although Ye Chang was Ye Xinxia's mother, that girl went crazy after Wen Tai's death. For safety reasons, he asked Ye Xinxia to remain the same as before when she was outside.

As for the first time he tried to use the horse charm to help Ye Xinxia stand up, he just took a few steps on the hill, and was very stiff. After that, he carried Ye Xinxia back home. Even if someone saw that scene, they would not think too much about it.

Today, the sub-dragon summoned beast he deliberately created was enough to attract the attention of the Black Church. It won't be long before Ye Chang will come to visit him in person. They haven't seen each other for ten years, and he doesn't know if this old sister still recognizes him...

"I just can't stand up..." Tang Yue's eyes twitched slightly.

She thought that Lu Cheng would be very caring towards Ye Xinxia, ​​but seeing his attitude, why does it feel like...

"Pity is not respect." Lu Cheng turned around.

"I treat her as my sister, not one of those pitiful cats and dogs on the street."

"She's fine, she doesn't need any pity."

"I am fine too."
