Full-Time Magister: My Talent is Pretty Good

Afterwards, the police arrived and took away the people in the basement. Lu Jin'an, Mu Nujiao, and the other two women gave a brief statement and were then released.

As for the Lei brothers, Lei Mingyu and Lei Hua, they have already been imprisoned, and it won't be easy for them to get out again.

Lu Jin'an thought this way but didn't ask any further questions. After all, the Mu family and the Ai family were not to be trifled with, and they would not tolerate Lei Mingyu's behavior of daring to defecate on their heads.

Outside the police station, Lu Jin'an and three women walked down the street.

Ai Tutu, oblivious to her surroundings, had clearly forgotten her pitiful state in the basement earlier, and happily thanked Lu Jin'an.

"Hehe, thank you so much, Brother Lu. If it weren't for you, I don't even want to think what would have happened to the three of us."

Lu Jin'an had one hand in his pocket and the other playing with his phone. He glanced back at Ai Tutu and gave her a knowing smile.

"You adapt pretty quickly, huh? Aren't you afraid I might have ulterior motives and want to arrest you?"

For some reason, Ai Tutu's mind suddenly became sharp. Instead of being frightened, she stroked her chin thoughtfully.

"It doesn't look like it."

"I also think that someone as handsome as me can be easily identified as a bad person."

Lu Jin'an confidently tossed his hair; he figured this girl wasn't stupid.

Ai Tutu shook her head, and then continued.

"No, what I mean is, bad guys usually don't admit they're bad, and someone like you who gets shy even touching a girl's hand, how could you possibly arrest us?"

As she spoke, she pointed at Mu Nujiao, who was looking rather embarrassed, and raised an eyebrow at her.

"Your face turned red when you touched Jiaojiao's hand, I saw it clearly."

Upon hearing this, the air fell into an unusual silence. Mu Nujiao quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth, afraid that Ai Tutu would say something else embarrassing.

She sensed that the atmosphere around her was off, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, I'm hungry. Let's go eat. Lu Jin'an, do you want to come?"

Lu Jin'an, who was feeling awkward, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He coughed lightly and scratched his reddened cheeks.

"Oh right, I'm a little hungry too. Let's go eat together."

Ai Tutu had already let go of her grip. She pulled Mu Huanhuan along for a few steps and waved to the two people behind her.

"Huanhuan and I know a restaurant that has pretty good food. We'll lead the way, and you two can chat."

Sensing the awkward, rather than ambiguous, atmosphere in the air, Lu Jin'an covered his forehead, unsure of what to say to this young lady.

How come he looks just like his sister?

But Ai Tutu is beautiful! He watched as the moonlight fell, casting a hazy glow on Mu Nujiao, and was momentarily stunned.

The girl stood alone under the moonlight, her shadow stretched long and thin behind her.

The evening breeze stirred her loose hair, and the hem of her dress swayed gently. The streets and alleys in the distance were not quiet, and the occasional chirping of cicadas, birds, and Ai Tutu's giggling could be heard.

Mu Nujiao lowered her head slightly, her gaze falling on the intertwined shadows at her feet, her fingertips unconsciously gripping her sleeve.

The streetlight fell on her shoulder, outlining her soft silhouette. Perhaps to ease the atmosphere, Mu Nujiao asked softly.

"I remember Lei Hua was a mid-level mage, right? How did you defeat him?"

After speaking, seeing that Lu Jin'an did not reply, Mu Nujiao paused, thinking that her words were somewhat offensive, and she quickly waved her hand.

"I'm sorry, it's okay if you don't want to talk about it. I was being presumptuous."

"Huh...huh? I didn't hear you clearly, could you say it again?"

Lu Jin'an snapped out of his daze and looked at the beautiful and pure girl in front of him under the moonlight. He was at a loss for words.

Mu Nujiao chuckled, her eyes crinkling. She hadn't expected this person to have such a... well, cute side.

"I asked, 'How did you save me? Lei Hua is a mid-level mage, right?'"

"Actually, it's not too bad. He's quite weak. I'm also a mid-level mage, and a necromancer at that. Taking him down shouldn't be too difficult."

Perhaps it was out of a desire to impress the opposite sex, Lu Jin'an shrugged, making a relaxed and nonchalant expression.

However, Yu Guang kept staring intently at Mu Nujiao's face, wanting to see how she would react.

As he expected, Mu Nujiao's eyes widened immediately after hearing this. She covered her mouth and looked at Lu Jin'an with disbelief.

"What?! I remember you said you were only 17, a high school sophomore like me. You're already in the middle grades?"

"Really? It's alright. I awakened earlier, so it's normal that my cultivation level is a bit higher."

Lu Jin'an scratched his face, pretending to be embarrassed, and grinned.

Looking at the boy who was half a head taller than her, Mu Nujiao suddenly felt that this person wasn't so cute anymore.

"That's amazing! I wish I had your talent."

While admiring Lu Jin'an's abilities, she also thought about her family's attitude towards her, which made her feel down.

Lu Jin'an naturally sensed that Mu Nujiao's tone was off and, not knowing what had happened, he tentatively asked her.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"Phew~"

Mu Nujiao took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, waved her hand, and made an apologetic expression.

"Thank you for your concern. It's my own fault, so please don't worry about it."

Lu Jin'an felt that women's thoughts were as deep as the sea, and he, a mere chef, simply couldn't understand them, so he changed the subject.

"By the way, it's a bit strange to keep calling you Mu Nujiao. I'm a little younger than you. How about I call you Sister Jiaojiao like Ai Tutu does? It sounds nicer."

After saying that, Lu Jin'an tentatively called out another sentence.

"Sister Jiaojiao."

Mu Nujiao was stunned for a moment, her face turning slightly red. She felt a little ambiguous, but she didn't dislike being addressed that way by this person, so she nodded in agreement.

"Hmm~"

Lu Jin'an smiled at her reaction, thinking that Mu Nujiao looked really cute with her blushing face, but he also knew that he couldn't say such things out loud, or he would get beaten up.

"So what are you going to call me? Wouldn't it be a little strange to just call me by my name?"

Mu Nujiao snapped out of her daze, rolled her eyes at Lu Jin'an who had been staring at her, and thought for a moment before speaking.

"How should I address you? Let me think... I'm a few months older than you, how about I call you Xiao Lu?"

"Xiao Lu, isn't this a bit... inappropriate?"

Hearing this form of address, Lu Jin'an wanted to refuse but didn't know how to say it, so she could only say that it was inappropriate.

You should know that this has always been the name he used for his mother, that's what Li Yu called her!

Mu Nujiao tilted her head, looked at Lu Jin'an's embarrassed expression, and found it quite amusing, which made her even more determined to use this nickname.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Looking at Mu Nujiao tilting her head and looking at him under the moonlight, Lu Jin'an's heart pounded uncontrollably.

Mom, she's so cute, I can't resist her.

Before Lu Jin'an could reply, Mu Nujiao said something to herself.

"Alright, it's settled then, Xiao Lu?"
