Full-Time Magister: My Talent is Pretty Good
Chapter 48 Guilt
We had dinner at a hot pot restaurant not far from the school.
There were more than a dozen people who came, all of whom were classmates with whom he had a good relationship. Mo Fan had completed the bounty mission this time.
I got a shield magic item worth 50, and I was so happy that I didn't ask everyone to split the cost; I paid for it all by myself.
The students present were all surprised, as everyone knew that Mo Fan's family was quite ordinary.
Everyone thought he had obtained a magical artifact, which was why he was so generous.
Keep in mind that the meal cost for more than a dozen people can amount to several thousand yuan, which is a considerable sum for a high school student.
Lu Jin'an didn't pay much attention. He knew that Mo Fan usually worked in the city's monster-hunting team, and although he didn't earn as much as hunters from outside the city like them.
But it will definitely not be less.
Since we were going home that night, we just had a simple meal and didn't drink any alcohol, so it ended not long afterward.
Everyone went back to their own homes and to their own mothers.
This semester has come to a successful end.
Lu Jin'an did the same; he hailed a taxi on the roadside and went home.
The school wasn't far from his home, and he arrived at his neighborhood in no time.
After getting off the bus and paying the fare, I easily entered the gate using facial recognition.
People often come out for a walk in the evening, and on the way back, I also ran into some familiar uncles and aunts.
Lu Jin'an greeted everyone as she carried her suitcase toward home.
I knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Lu Jin'an guessed that he must have sent his parents a message saying he wouldn't be home for dinner, so the two of them took Lu Xiaoyan out to eat.
He goes to school during the week and often goes home on weekends, so he has a key on him.
He took the key out of his bag and inserted it into the peephole.
With a click, the door opened.
All the lights were off, and there was indeed no one inside. Lu Jin'an picked up her phone and sent a message to her mother.
He carried his suitcase inside, opened it, tidied up briefly, then sat back down on the sofa and turned on the TV.
"Ding, ding."
Just then, Lu Jin'an's phone beeped with a message. He picked it up and saw that it was from his mother, Li Yu, in their "We Are a Loving Family" group chat.
Hua Kai Fu Gui (Li Yu): Xiao Lu, your dad, Xiao Yan, and I are having dinner outside. We'll be back in a bit.
Lu Jin'an glanced at the general content, and it was exactly as he had guessed. He really knew his own family well.
Slender but somewhat rough fingers flew across the screen, quickly editing the text before clicking send.
Mr. Lu from AAA Building Materials: OK, you guys can take your time eating.
As soon as Lu Jin'an sent the message, Lu Xiaoyan immediately sent a picture to the "Loving Family" group chat, along with a caption.
The other party is typing (Lu Xiaoyan): How's it going, bro? We ate pretty well, hehe, too bad you couldn't get any!
Lu Jin'an smiled as she read the message; this little girl was as adorable as ever.
Mr. Lu from AAA Building Materials: Heh~
The other party is typing: What does this mean?
The other party is typing: Aren't you envious? Say something, you jerk!
The other party is typing: Silent treatment?!
Lu Jin'an remained silent; he didn't have time to reply to his younger sister's messages right now.
During this period, we have been conducting field combat assessments, and our mobile phones have been handed over to the military for safekeeping. We did not carry them with us.
In other words, he never replied to Mu Nujiao's messages.
Lu Jin'an looked at the contact whose profile picture was a girl's selfie, and saw more than a dozen unread messages highlighted in red.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
He hadn't pinned Mu Nujiao's chat or sent her message notifications, so during this time, he didn't chat with her; his messages were pushed down by the class group chat and messages from his younger sister and mother.
If he hadn't been playing on his phone out of boredom, he probably wouldn't have noticed for several more days.
Lu Jin'an cautiously opened the girl's message chat page.
The messages were all marked with red exclamation marks, and there were more than a dozen unread messages.
Lu Jin'an flipped through it from top to bottom.
The top one is the tenth day from the beginning.
I don't eat cilantro: How have you been these past few days? I'm so bored, chat with me!
I don't eat cilantro: We have a field combat assessment tomorrow, so I might not be able to reply to your messages for the next two or three days.
I don't eat cilantro: Why aren't you replying to my messages? Are you busy? You go ahead and do your thing, I won't bother you anymore.
The preceding content covers the sixth day.
I don't eat cilantro: We've finished our field training assessment. Were you also doing field training assessments these past few days? That's why you haven't replied to my messages.
After that, it was basically all the same: good morning and good night messages, or asking if he was online.
This is a habit the two of them have always had: even when they're not chatting, they'll send each other good morning and good night messages.
Lu Jin'an felt a little guilty when he saw this. Everyone else had told him before the field training assessment, but he had completely forgotten about it.
Lu Jin'an helped edit a message and clicked send.
Mr. Lu from AAA Building Materials: I'm sorry, Sister Jiaojiao, our field training assessment took a bit too long.
I've been outside for the past ten days or so, and my phone has been confiscated by the instructors.
After sending the message, Lu Jin'an stared nervously at her phone screen.
I don't know why.
He didn't want to see Mu Nujiao angry or sad. Could it be that he had successfully trained her?
Lu Jin'an smiled helplessly. What was all this nonsense? She shook her head, trying to shake those absurd thoughts out of her head.
Look at the top of the chat page; there's a text notification that the other person is typing.
A pre-edited message was sent very quickly.
I don't eat cilantro: Xiao Lu, why are you so reserved when you chat with me? By the way, your assessment is finally over. I've been feeling a bit strange not chatting with you for the past few days.
Tell me, how did you pass the assessment these past few days?
Lu Jin'an was stunned. This message was completely different from what he had imagined. It didn't mean that all girls were like his sister.
Is it a creature that likes noise and commotion?
However, it also relieved him. He didn't quite understand, so he just asked directly.
Mr. Lu from AAA Building Materials: Sister Jiaojiao, aren't you angry that I haven't replied to your messages for so long?
On the other end of the phone, in a room in the Mu family's home in Shanghai.
Mu Nujiao, dressed in white pajamas, lay on the bed looking at her phone, her brows furrowed.
Was she always like this in Lu Jin'an's memory? She's always had a good temper and rarely gets angry.
Not to mention getting angry with Lu Jin'an, her savior and good friend.
Not eating cilantro: Am I a person with a bad temper?
Lu Jin'an was still happily chuckling when he saw the message and quickly replied.
Mr. Lu from AAA Building Materials: That's not what I meant. I just know I'm used to getting along with my younger sister, and she likes to throw tantrums.
So, you get it?
Not eating cilantro: Okay, I forgive you, but you have a younger sister, and so do I, though she's not a blood relative, she's the girl who went to awaken the other day.
She's my cousin, you should remember her, right?
