Mu Wanqiu: Did I scare Qianxue just now?

Lu Ming's phone vibrated, and he casually tapped the screen to turn it on.

He frowned and glared at Mu Wanqiu with annoyance:

"You almost fell, and you're worried about whether others will be scared?"

"Mu Wanqiu, I'm telling you, after my follow-up appointment, I'll talk to the doctor..."

Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, Mu Wanqiu gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

he knows.

This means that Mu Wanqiu is begging for mercy.

Mu Wanqiu blinked her eyelashes, her clear, bright eyes misting over.

It's faint, yet it just won't dissipate.

"I can't be bothered with you. But I'll figure out a way to handle the money!"

Lu Ming turned his head to the side.

He worried that if he watched any longer, he would soften and believe Mu Wanqiu's lies again.

Mu Wanqiu: Actually, if you had given the money to Aunt Qin, she wouldn't have had to work so hard.

Mu Wanqiu: Besides, now that you're in university, the financial burden on your family is even heavier. And after you graduate, you'll still have to get married...

Two more messages popped up on Lu Ming's phone.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

With Lu Ming's current abilities, even if he worked two jobs like crazy during the summer vacation, he could only earn a meager five thousand yuan.

It may seem like a lot, but it's just a drop in the ocean compared to improving our lives or using it to treat Mu Wanqiu's illness.

He considered escaping reality, or, as his neighbors suggested, waiting until he finished college so his mother could finally enjoy her retirement.

"actually……"

Mu Wanqiu lowered her eyes and bit her lip.

"There's nothing really good about it. I mean what I say."

"You just wait and see."

Lu Ming raised his voice.

He needs money, a huge amount of money.

The reality is that his hourly wage for his summer job was a paltry 8.5 yuan.

Lu Ming considered starting a live stream.

But he knew that, given Mu Wanqiu and her mother's personalities, they would rather jump off a building than use their illness to gain sympathy.

However, even with Douyin's powerful beauty algorithm, Lu Ming's appearance isn't particularly outstanding.

He can't even manage to fleece rich women.

Mu Wanqiu tucked her head into her trench coat and curled up on Lu Ming's bed.

The last time she lay on this bed was in junior high school.

Unbeknownst to her, Mu Wanqiu's feet had reached the corner of the bed.

Mu Wanqiu: Do you remember when I came to your house to play when I was in junior high school? You said no one was home.

Lu Ming: Of course I remember.

My mom left work early that day, which startled us. In a panic, I immediately hid you under the covers.

Lu Ming: I remember, after my mom left, your face turned bright red. That was only the second to last time I saw you blush. To be honest, it looked quite cute.

Mu Wanqiu's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at the message that popped up on the screen.

The second to last?

The most recent one...

It's just a belated birthday gift for Lu Ming.

Mu Wanqiu bit her lip, her ears turning bright red.

Lu Ming was about to type when Jiang Chen's scream suddenly came from outside the door:

"Naruko, come save me!"

Lu Ming glanced at Mu Wanqiu and ran straight out the door.

Jiang Chen has been his best friend since childhood.

Just by listening to his voice, Lu Ming could easily tell whether Jiang Chen was joking or really in trouble.

Uncle Gong also moved.

The reason was simple: Shen Qianxue was still in the kitchen.

Lu Ming suddenly opened the kitchen door and immediately spotted Shen Qianxue in front of the stove.

The young lady of the Shen family turned pale, gripping the pot handle, unsure whether to hold on or let go.

Flames erupted from the pot, almost giving the young lady a Thai-style fire bath.

Jiang Chen, clutching his lower abdomen, leaned against the stove with difficulty, his face pale.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Ming snatched the wok and tossed it neatly into the sink.

He didn't turn on the tap; turning on the water at that moment would only cause the hot oil to rise even higher.

Immediately, Lu Ming pushed aside the somewhat dazed Shen Qianxue, then bent down to look at Jiang Chen:

"How could this be? You're just cooking a dish!"

Lu Ming glanced at Jiang Chen's lower body, his expression strange.

"Naruko..."

Jiang Chen clutched his lower abdomen, his eyes brimming with tears.

An experiment was conducted that divided pain into ten levels.

And testicular pain is rated as high as level nine.

If attacked by an external force, even someone as strong as boxing champion Mike Tyson would instantly lose the ability to resist.

"Miss?"

Uncle Gong, as small as a mountain, also burst in.

With a clear objective, he shielded Shen Qianxue behind him, glaring menacingly at Lu Ming and Jiang Chen.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

Shen Qianxue hid behind Uncle Gong, but subconsciously kept a distance of ten centimeters.

She peeked out with her little face, looking pitiful.

Judging from his expression alone, Lu Ming instantly concluded that his lovestruck and mischievous friend was plotting something sinister, and that he deserved to die!

"Shen Qianxue, don't worry. I'll take this guy to the police station right away and lock him up for three to five years."

Lu Ming immediately replied.

If you've been attacked, stand up straight. The right thing to do now is to correct your attitude and gain the victim's understanding.

Shen Qianxue shook her head vigorously, clenching her fists in front of her chest:

"I was too sensitive. I hurt him unintentionally. It was my fault."

To Lu Ming's surprise, even Uncle Gong said in a deep voice:

"I taught Miss some self-defense techniques; this kid is no match for her."

Uncle Gong's words were meant to help Jiang Chen explain.

But after hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes seemed to lose some color.

Even Lu Ming couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Uncle Gong's sharp tongue has reached a new level.

"Should we go to the hospital?"

"Don't worry, I'm the one who injured him, I'll pay for all the medical expenses."

Shen Qianxue looked worried.

"No...don't..."

Jiang Chen leaned shakily against Lu Ming, trying to straighten himself up.

But when the excruciating pain struck, he could only collapse helplessly.

Now, it's even more embarrassing.

"Hmm... He got into a fight yesterday. Eighteen people ganged up on him, and Jiang Chen didn't utter a sound."

"That's why I was a bit slow to react today."

Lu Ming racked his brains to save Jiang Chen's face.

This is the only way a young boy can think of.

You can't exactly tell the truth, like Jiang Chen got a beating from both his parents yesterday, can you?

His words earned him a grateful look from Jiang Chen, but he heard Uncle Gong casually say:

"Him?"

"Uncle Gong!"

Shen Qianxue stomped her foot.

Uncle Gong shut up.

"Let's go see her. Sister Wanqiu is going to the hospital this afternoon too."

"Go directly to Hangzhou Medical University; their medical resources are more advanced."

Shen Qianxue suggested again.

Just as Lu Ming was about to refuse, Shen Qianxue said aggrievedly:

"I'm the one who hurt her, and Sister Wanqiu is also my friend."

"Isn't it only natural for friends to help each other?"

Shen Qianxue's words effectively shut down Lu Ming's explanation.

What impressed Lu Ming the most was Shen Qianxue's statement that Hangzhou Medical University had more advanced medical resources.

What worries Lu Ming the most right now is Mu Wanqiu's illness.

Even though he knew it was an incurable disease, he still wanted to reduce Mu Wanqiu's suffering.

"Um."

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

Shen Qianxue's bright eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

This means that Lu Ming has accepted her to some extent, which is equivalent to Mu Wanqiu accepting her!

Shen Qianxue immediately realized there was another injured person in front of her. She playfully stuck out her tongue and cautiously approached Jiang Chen.

This is completely different from his reaction upon seeing Mu Wanqiu; he wanted nothing more than to throw himself at her.

Lu Ming could clearly see that when she got close to Jiang Chen, Shen Qianxue even got goosebumps on her fair neck.

Lu Ming suddenly realized.

This rich young lady is a misogynist.

Physiological aversion to men.

In other words, Jiang Chen was not afraid of death and was completely oblivious to the other party's instinctive disgust.

That's normal, though.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been rejected by the class beauty twenty-eight times!

Lu Ming silently mourned for his bad friend for half a second, then couldn't help but think to himself:

Should!

Let's see if you learn your lesson next time...

After Lu Ming finished complaining about Jiang Chen, he suddenly paused.

Although Shen Qianxue never had any intimate contact with Lu Ming, when he activated auto-aiming, he was even closer than Jiang Chen was at the time!

Is it...

Does she see Lu Ming as a girl?
