Chapter 904 A Lifetime of Singleness
Lu Yuanqiu could no longer laugh. He sat at the table scrolling through his phone with one eye socket bruised. Occasionally, the pain in his eye socket would cause his eyelid to twitch, but he knew that he had brought it on himself.

Liu Wangchun has been gone for an hour; I reckon he's really angry.

Lu Yuanqiu expected to receive a questioning call from Bai Qingxia during this time, but his phone remained silent.

"boom!"

The office door was suddenly kicked open again.

Liu Wangchun raised his sour face, carried a small iron bucket and walked in. He then slammed the door shut with his foot like a scorpion's tail. Li Qingxuan outside couldn't help but peek inside, but couldn't see anything clearly.

Lu Yuanqiu stood up from the table, forcing a smile, "Brother Chun is back. I thought you had left."

"I was planning to leave." Liu Wangchun threw a bucket of ice on the table and said in a muffled voice, "But then I remembered that you're getting engaged soon, and I can't go back with your face injured. Here's some ice; wrap a few pieces in this and apply it to your eyes."

She threw another white towel onto the table.

Lu Yuanqiu obediently did as instructed.

"You didn't tattle on me to Xiaxia?" He looked up curiously from the table. "I was prepared for Xiaxia to call and interrogate me."

Liu Wangchun frowned: "You're actually looking forward to Xiaxia finding out, aren't you? Did you just play with me like that just so I'd tell Xiaxia, then she'd get jealous and come back to question you? What do you take me for?! A tool for flirting!"

"No, no, no! I'm not that bored." Lu Yuanqiu quickly raised his hand to deny it.

Then he explained seriously, "I just wanted to see you make a fool of yourself in front of me. If you provoke me again in the future, I'll bring up today's incident. Wouldn't that make you so disgusted that you get goosebumps? And when I see you being disgusted, I'll feel really good."

After Lu Yuanqiu finished speaking, he scratched his head and said, "I just thought that, given your personality, you would definitely call Xiaxia to tell her about this right away."

These words were truly infuriating, but Liu Wangchun found them rather agreeable. She muttered under her breath, "That's even more boring."

Lu Yuanqiu's expression was also smug: "Hehe, I've been shameless for a long time, you know me well."

Liu Wangchun sat down at the table and explained angrily, "I wanted to tell Xiaxia so she could teach you a lesson, but what if Xiaxia finds out that I fed you water and you lay on my lap... Xiaxia will overthink it and misunderstand that there's something between us."

Lu Yuanqiu's eyes widened slightly: "You know I didn't mean that! I just wanted to tease you by bringing this up in the future. How could I possibly have feelings for you?"

"Tch, you think you're so charming! I would never have any interest in someone like you in my entire life!" Liu Wangchun shouted at him defiantly.

"Fine, fine, fine." Lu Yuanqiu twitched his lips. Liu Wangchun turned around angrily. The two had a cold war for a minute or two before Liu Wangchun finally spoke first.

"Of course I know what you mean, you slut." She turned around: "But it's not appropriate for us to do these things."

“That’s true.” Lu Yuanqiu rubbed his eyes vigorously with an ice towel and lowered his head dejectedly.

Liu Wangchun crossed her arms and said, "Anyway, I value loyalty the most. I won't allow my good friend to get hurt, especially not because of me. I told Xiaxia that no one is allowed to hurt her. Does that mean I have to be the one to hurt her?"

Lu Yuanqiu was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded seriously.

He immediately laughed and gave a thumbs up in support: "That's right, Brother Chun is righteous, never effeminate, a real man, so domineering!"

Liu Wangchun felt relieved.

She snatched the towel from Lu Yuanqiu's hand and scolded, "Idiot, what's the use of these few pieces of ice?"

She picked up a towel and continued filling the bucket with ice, then shoved a large chunk of it forcefully into Lu Yuanqiu's face.

Lu Yuanqiu winced in pain: "Brother Chun, I...I...I can do it myself."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll do it! Quickly reduce the swelling, what if Xiaxia sees it? She'll know for sure that I'm the one who hit you!"

The two had dinner together at the company. After dinner, Lu Yuanqiu put on a pair of sunglasses and went downstairs with Liu Wangchun to stroll around under the streetlights.

Lu Yuanqiu had his hands in his shirt pockets, while Liu Wangchun had her hands in the two back pockets of her shorts. She was very tall, and with the heels of her boots, the top of her head was level with Lu Yuanqiu's eyes.

Lu Yuanqiu never imagined that one day he could take a peaceful walk with Liu Wangchun. It was a rare and unusual occurrence.

"What are Long Liandong's plans for the second semester of her junior year?" he asked, turning his head.

Liu Wangchun kicked at the stone at his feet and replied, "What else could she possibly plan? She said she'd stay at school to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam, but what a load of rubbish. She's just looking for an excuse to stay at school for another year."

Lu Yuanqiu saw Liu Wangchun kick the pebble to his side, and he was about to take it back when Liu Wangchun stretched out her foot and snatched the pebble away. This woman really fights for everything and doesn't know how to be modest at all.

Liu Wangchun looked up: "That's right, she just wants to stay at school and see you for another year."

"When you start your internship in your fifth year, she'll find an excuse to say she doesn't want to continue with the postgraduate entrance exam and wants to go home and inherit the family business. Just wait and see, and see if I'm right."

"I can't say these things if Xiaxia is here," Liu Wangchun added quietly.

Lu Yuanqiu walked silently for a moment, then turned back to the lively girl beside him and asked, "Long Liandong...you won't never find a boyfriend, will you?"

Liu Wangchun scoffed: "Even if she doesn't like you, she won't look for a partner. Her personality isn't suited for dating; she's destined to be single forever."

"And this guy, don't be fooled by his glamorous appearance, he actually had a terrible childhood, he was like a puppet."

Lu Yuanqiu fell silent again. After walking for a while, as if remembering something, he said to Liu Wangchun, "It seems like the two of us have had a pretty happy childhood, huh?"

Liu Wangchun nodded in agreement: "Pretty much. Although my mother passed away early, my father doted on me."

Lu Yuanqiu: "Isn't Brother Chun looking for a partner?"

Liu Wangchun paused in his footwork, then kicked the pebble in one direction. Lu Yuanqiu saw the pebble fly into the bushes on the other side. What a good kick!

With her hands in her pockets and chin held high, she said, "Tch, I have high standards. No man can easily catch my eye. Do you think everyone is as blind as Xiaxia?"

Lu Yuanqiu raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha."

"I heard you had a boyfriend in high school."

Liu Wangchun: "It was just a casual relationship. If we found dating boring, we broke up."

Lu Yuanqiu: "Brother Chun really has guts."

"Shut up, alright, go back now. I'm going back to Lucheng tomorrow too. See you at the engagement banquet."

The two stopped at the intersection. Liu Wangchun took a few steps forward, turned around, and Lu Yuanqiu took off his sunglasses, smiled and nodded at her: "Okay, drive carefully. Thanks to Brother Chun for coming all the way here to keep me entertained today."

Liu Wangchun glanced at his purple eye sockets, then suddenly chuckled, before quickly suppressing her laughter.

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, "Although Brother Chun likes to tease me, he still considers me a good friend, right?"

Liu Wangchun's expression froze for a moment, then he turned around cursing, "You're overthinking it, you narcissist."

Lu Yuanqiu threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Hahaha."

Liu Wangchun walked with his head down, then suddenly turned around, glared, raised his familiar middle finger, turned around, and his tall figure gradually disappeared on the road leading to the parking lot.
