Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

Chapter 19 That's Not the Meaning

……

"Brother Cheng, you're back!"

Hearing the door open, Ye Xinxia came out of the kitchen in an electric wheelchair.

"This is Teacher Tang Yue, right?"

Tang Yue nodded, "Hello, I'm Lu Cheng's practical class teacher, Tang Yue."

"My name is Ye Xinxia, ​​you can just call me Xinxia."

When they first met, Tang Yue was not the type to engage in tit-for-tat, and neither was Ye Xinxia, ​​so there was no jealousy or farce.

"Who's here?" Lu Cheng looked towards the kitchen.

"Sister Ning Xue came to see me." Ye Xinxia said.

"She will come to see you?" Lu Cheng looked disbelieving.

When Ye Xinxia was a child, she was abandoned in the Mo family by Ye Chang. At that time, the Mo family was still a vassal of the Mu family and was not far away, so Ye Xinxia also knew Mu Ningxue.

However, ever since that incident three years ago, the relationship between the Mu family and the Mo family has reached a freezing point. Mu Ningxue was also confined to the Mu family manor by Mu Zhuoyun and was not allowed to go out alone. Since then, the two have actually never met each other.

Especially after Mu Ningxue was admitted to the Imperial Capital Academy as an exception, she had already left Bo City. Maybe she came back in the middle, but she had no contact with Ye Xinxia.

Now she suddenly came to my house on her own initiative, I'm afraid Mu Zhuoyun asked her to come.

Others did not know the significance of this sub-dragon, but Mu Zhuoyun knew it. A guardian beast with monarch bloodline could not be ignored even by the Mu family in the imperial capital.

"Brother Cheng, it's been so long, why are you still angry?" Ye Xinxia asked.

"Not really." Lu Cheng asked Tang Yue to sit down.

"I just don't have the interest to stick my face to someone's cold butt, let alone stick my face to an ice cube."

He knew what Mu Ningxue was thinking. He had known it since he was a child. This was his talent. He could sense the thoughts of people around him and understand their feelings since he was a child.

He's like a human lie detector, so no one can fool him.

Moreover, this talent also gives him a strong ability to infect others with emotions. When his emotions are too strong, it will have a certain impact on the people around him, just like Tang Yue before.

In order to avoid accidents, he usually tries his best to control his emotions and basically maintain a stable state.

Judging from the situation in this world, his talent is most likely something similar to a natural spiritual seed. Of course, that was just his guess.

After all, he did not awaken on his own like Mu Ningxue, and even his first awakening was the summoning system.

baffling.

After a while, Ye Xinxia and Mu Ningxue brought the food to the table. It was quite rich. After all, it was impossible for two people to make too much food in such a short time.

The four of them sat around the dining table and ate quietly.

It was called a dinner party, but no one spoke a word during the entire process, which was inexplicably awkward.

Only Lu Cheng seemed to feel nothing and just ate his meal.

For some reason, Tang Yue felt that the eldest lady of the Mu family seemed to have an inexplicable hostility towards her?

Jealous?
Half an hour later, the food on the table was cleaned up by Lu Cheng alone.

Ye Xinxia and the other two were gradually distracted by Lu Cheng's terrifying eating speed.

"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"You..." Tang Yue had a strange look on her face and didn't know what to say for a moment.

How did Lu Cheng stuff so much food into his stomach?
"Brother Cheng, are you full?" Ye Xinxia asked.

"If you're not full, I'll make some more."

"No thanks, let's go out for a midnight snack tonight." Lu Cheng got up and cleaned up the dishes.

With three women in one drama, what else can he do except bury his head in eating?

As for his appetite, he wasn't quite sure what was going on. It had been like this for the past few months, and he was eating more and more.

……

A classic awkward moment after dinner. Tang Yue was worried that it would be even more awkward, so she simply made up an excuse to leave because she had something to do at school. Mu Ningxue was also planning to leave, but was kept by Ye Xinxia.

Looking at the icy beauty sitting opposite him, Lu Cheng didn't know what to say.

Proud.

Mu Ningxue's feelings for him were indeed real. After all, he had raised this girl since she was a child. However, due to Mu Zhuoyun's matchmaking, Mu Ningxue developed a resistance to him.

Especially three years ago, Mu Zhuoyun took the initiative to make him and Mu Ningxue engaged, which completely aroused Mu Ningxue's resistance to Mu Zhuoyun's strict management of her savings over the years.

Mu Ningxue ran away.

It’s not because I don’t like him, nor because I don’t want to, it’s simply that I don’t want to be dominated.

He knew what Mu Ningxue was thinking, including now, the little girl was organizing her words and struggling with whether to apologize like Ye Xinxia said. What if he didn't accept it? What if he was still angry?

What if I make him angry again?
Every time he felt Mu Ningxue's conflicted heart, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

A weird little girl.

"Ms. Mu, is there anything Mr. Mu needs you to convey to him?" Lu Cheng asked.

Mu Ningxue was stunned. "My father asked me to invite you to sit in the Mu family manor. He has something to tell you."

"That's not necessary. I know what he wants to say. He just wants to invite me to join the Mu family." Lu Cheng said.

“Then you…” Mu Ningxue raised her head in confusion.

"You made your choice three years ago," Lu Cheng said.

"You rejected me, and I respect your choice."

Three years ago, he did plan to become a son-in-law of the Mu family. After all, Mu Zhuoyun was nice to him. However, no matter what the reason was, Mu Ningxue's choice ended up with her running away.

To put it bluntly, this son-in-law was rejected before he even entered the door.

Mu Ningxue looked conflicted, "At the beginning, I..."

"Ms. Mu, you rejected me back then, but now you invite me again. Don't you think it's strange?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Just like Mo Fan said, do you treat me like a dog that can be summoned and dismissed at will?"

He is sensible, but that doesn't mean he has no temper.

"That's not what I meant!" Mu Ningxue stood up anxiously.

"I know you don't mean that." Lu Cheng said.

“But that’s what you did.”

Human beings are very contradictory creatures. They obviously care about others and don't want to hurt them, but because of various coincidences, they always do things they don't want to do.

He knew that Mu Ningxue didn't mean that, and he also knew that she cared about him a lot, but that was just what he knew.

"Thinking and doing are two different things," said Lu Cheng.

"Just because I know you didn't do it on purpose, does that mean I should be responsible for the harm you've caused me?"

"Because you don't want to hurt me, you can hurt me with a clear conscience?"

"Don't you think it's contradictory?"

Mu Ningxue's emotions are too immature, she is still in the state of a child.

Although he can tolerate this childishness and raise her up, the process is long and troublesome. Excessive care is not a good thing for a child.

On the road to growth, there are some storms that we must experience and face.

Excessive tolerance will turn a person into a giant baby.

He had no grudge against Mu Ningxue, so he naturally wouldn't harm her like this.

Moreover, he had been a clown for the entire night. If he could just let it go with a few light apologies, he would have a lot to suffer in the future.

Before Mu Ningxue truly realized her problem, he had no interest in playing any love games with this arrogant young lady.
