Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start.

Chapter 19 doesn't mean that.

……

"Brother Acheng, you're back!"

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

"This must be Teacher Tang Yue, right?"

Tang Yue nodded. "Hello, I'm Tang Yue, Lü Cheng's practical course teacher."

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

At their first meeting, neither Tang Yue nor Ye Xinxia were the type to be confrontational, so there was no farce of jealousy or rivalry.

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

"Sister Ningxue came to see me," Ye Xinxia said.

"She'll come to see you?" Lu Cheng asked, his face full of disbelief.

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

However, 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 forbidden to go out alone. Since then, the two of them have not actually met.

Especially after Mu Ningxue was exceptionally admitted to the Imperial Capital Academy, she left Bocheng. She may have returned in between, but she has not had any contact with Ye Xinxia.

The fact that they suddenly came to our door suggests that Mu Zhuoyun sent them.

Others may not know the significance of this dragon, but Mu Zhuoyun does. It is a guardian beast with monarchical blood, which even the Mu family of the capital cannot ignore.

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

"It's not that bad." Lü Cheng gestured for Tang Yue to sit down.

"I'm just not interested in trying to win someone's favor, much less trying to get close to someone who doesn't reciprocate."

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

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

Moreover, this talent also endows him with a powerful ability to influence emotions. When his emotions become too intense, they can have a certain impact on those around him, just like Tang Yue did before.

To avoid any accidents, he usually tries to control his emotions and maintains a stable state.

Judging from the situation in this world, his talent is most likely something like an innate spiritual seed, though that's just his guess.

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

baffling.

Before long, Ye Xinxia and Mu Ningxue brought the food to the table. It was quite a feast, considering that the two of them had only spent so little time and couldn't possibly have made too much.

The four sat around the dining table, eating quietly.

Despite being called a dinner party, no one spoke a word throughout, creating an inexplicably awkward atmosphere.

Only Lü Cheng seemed oblivious to everything, continuing to eat as if nothing was amiss.

For some reason, Tang Yue felt that this eldest daughter of the Mu family seemed to have a strange hostility towards her.

Are you jealous?

Half an hour later, Lü Cheng had cleaned up all the food on the table by himself.

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

"What's wrong?" Lü Cheng put down his chopsticks.

"You..." Tang Yue's expression was strange, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

How did Lü Cheng manage to stuff so much stuff into his stomach?

"Brother Cheng, are you full?" Ye Xinxia asked.

"If you're still not full, I'll go make you something else."

"No need, let's go out for a late-night snack." Lu Cheng got up to clear the dishes.

Three women make a drama; what else can he do besides burying his head in his food?

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 a meal.

Worried that things would get even more awkward, Tang Yue made up an excuse about having something to do at school and slipped away. Mu Ningxue also planned to leave, but Ye Xinxia stopped her.

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

Arrogant and haughty.

Mu Ningxue's feelings for him were genuine, after all, he had raised her since she was a child. However, due to Mu Zhuoyun's matchmaking, Mu Ningxue developed a resistance towards him.

Especially three years ago, Mu Zhuoyun's unauthorized plan to get him engaged to Mu Ningxue completely ignited Mu Ningxue's resentment, which had been built up over the years under Mu Zhuoyun's strict management.

Mu Ningxue ran away.

It's not because I dislike him, nor because I'm unwilling; it's simply that I don't want to be controlled.

He knew what Mu Ningxue was thinking. Even now, the girl was organizing her thoughts and struggling with whether or not to apologize as Ye Xinxia had suggested. What if he didn't accept it? What if he was still angry?

What if I make him angry again?

Every time he sensed Mu Ningxue's inner turmoil, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

A shy little girl.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Miss Mu, is there anything Mr. Mu needs you to relay?" Lu Cheng asked.

Mu Ningxue was taken aback. "My father asked me to invite you to the Mu family manor. He has something he wants to tell you."

"That won't be necessary. I know what he wants to say; he just wants to invite me to join the Mu family," Lü Cheng said.

"Then you..." Mu Ningxue raised her head hesitantly.

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

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

Three years ago, he did indeed intend to become a live-in son-in-law of the Mu family, after all, Mu Zhuoyun had treated him quite well. However, regardless of the reason, Mu Ningxue's choice resulted in her running away.

To put it bluntly, he, the son-in-law who came to live with the family, was rejected before he even stepped into the house.

Mu Ningxue looked conflicted. "Back then..."

"Miss Mu, you rejected me back then, but now you're inviting me again. Don't you find that strange?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Like Mo Fan said, do you treat me like a dog that you can summon and dismiss at will?"

He is reasonable, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper.

"I didn't mean that!" Mu Ningxue stood up anxiously.

"I know you didn't mean that," Lü Cheng said.

"But that's exactly what you did."

Humans are contradictory beings. Even if we care about someone and don't want to hurt them, we often end up doing things we don't want to do because of various coincidences.

He knew Mu Ningxue didn't mean it that way, and he also knew she cared about him a lot, but that was something only he knew.

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

"Just because I know you didn't do it on purpose, does that mean I have to bear the pain you caused me?"

"Just because you don't want to hurt me, you feel justified in hurting me?"

Don't you find this contradictory?

Mu Ningxue's feelings are too immature; she's still in a childish state.

Although he could tolerate her naivety and help her grow up, the process was long and troublesome, and excessive pampering was not a good thing for the child.

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

Excessive tolerance can turn people into overgrown children.

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

Moreover, he'd been a clown all night; if he could just let it go with a few perfunctory apologies, he'd be in for a world of trouble later.

He had no interest in playing any dating games with this arrogant young lady until Mu Ningxue truly realized her own problems.
