"Cousin, come here. I know you like meat the most. This is Osaka Wagyu beef that was just mailed from my family in Osaka. Don't be polite. We are all family!"

"I remember I forgot to bring lunch and you ate one of your sour plum rice balls..."

"Let's not talk about the past anymore. From now on, you are my family. Don't you agree? Mengchan?"

At the end, he shamelessly turned to look at Lu Mengchan and made his own ambiguous invitation. Lu Mengchan smiled sweetly but did not respond. Her eyes passed over this man with a lot of delusions in his head and fell on Lu Fengxian... or to be more precise, on the lunch box in his hand.

It was a lunch box made by grandma. I also had one in my hand, but compared to my brother's, mine was a little...

luxury?

Yes, it is no exaggeration to describe it as luxurious.

The small lunch box is filled with a variety of high-quality ingredients, including shrimp sashimi, Sanhemu's local fruit salad and roast beef...

Each one is placed separately in a layer of the lunch box, looking plentiful and exquisite.

Really, there's no need for so much.

Although I am not the kind of person who has a small stomach, isn't this a bit too much and too luxurious?

And this luxury does not mean that the two people have the same luxury, but the difference is caused by the comparison. The lunch box in the elder brother's hand is two kinds of vegetables, a ball of soba noodles, a few shrimp tails and octopus sausages...

It is still a very normal meal. Maybe there is an illusion that the bento of District 13 office workers is very luxurious in many places outside, but in fact 99% of them are almost the same as the one in front of you. The nutritional combination and appearance are pretty good, but it actually tastes just average.

The comparison shows a very obvious gap. After all, the contents in my hand are really different from the contents in my brother's lunch box. It's just like the difference between a princess and a commoner...

But, it is the gap that I least want...

Others don’t want to care and are too lazy to care, but this kind of thing happens to me. I really hate this gap!

"Would you like to exchange lunch boxes?"

"No, I ate like this when I first came back, and then it became like this."

"..."

Lu Fengxian really didn't care too much about this kind of thing, so what he said was very natural, and Lu Mengchan didn't dwell on it too much, she just looked at Lu Fengxian silently. Now she temporarily lost her appetite, and wanted to look at Lu Fengxian...

Our young classmate Zhumu was completely ignored from the beginning, but soon his neglect ended. Lu Fengxian picked up a few pieces of beef from his box and started to eat them...

"Please leave some for me!"

Of course, Zhumu would not say such embarrassing words. At this moment, his face remained calm and composed. He even took the initiative to pass the lunch he had carefully prepared to Lu Fengxian's seat to show his generosity.

"It tastes really good. Did you make these pickles yourself?"

"Yes, that's right. Although my goal is to become a doctor or lawyer, this will not affect my superb cooking skills!"

After he finished speaking, he smiled faintly and said, "My father and mother told me to be low-key, low-key, so I don't show it easily."

"Oh, then the girl you marry will definitely be very happy!" Lu Fengxian said vaguely.

That’s right, that’s what I wanted to say!

Should I say that it is indeed a mouth that eats its own food? The words it speaks are so pleasant to the ear!

"Yeah, I think so too."

Without any warning, Lu Mengchan spoke, crossing her two slender hands and looking at him with an 'admiring' look. In an instant, Zhumu felt as if he had grown two wings and was just a little bit away from flying into the sky!

"He is a handsome man who dares to challenge things that others dare not think of. He is the only young male teacher teaching in Sanhemu. He is really young and promising!"

"Ahem, I'm not that good..."

As Zhu Mu said this, his nostrils were about to rise towards the skyline. Thinking of how stingy he had been to Lu Fengxian before, a feeling of guilt emerged. How sad he was that he was so stingy to the only person in the world who could understand his inner qualities...

From today on he is my good brother!!!

"I see so many students like you, Mr. Oak. You must be a good and responsible teacher."

Lu Mengchan said with a half-smile, and while she was talking, she picked up the chopsticks in the lunch box and started to eat. She looked very slow and elegant, but she was really disappearing...

He was really a little flattered. Being praised by a beautiful woman was a proud thing in itself, not to mention being praised by a peerless beauty like Lu Mengchan. He began to talk eloquently about his college life and how he came to Sanhemu and fell in love with this hot land.

"I'm full, thanks for the treat."

"Wait, I haven't finished talking about my seventy-seventh failed exam!"

"Listen next time you get a chance. Aren't there still plenty of opportunities for us to be alone together?"

I don't really want to tell you...

Of course, Zhu Mu would not say this directly, but instead focused his attention on Lu Mengchan who was standing beside him. That's right, she was the only one he wanted to listen to. As long as she stayed -

"Sorry, I have to go find my brother. See you later."

Hey, but, but——

"You go ahead. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

You must know when to advance and retreat when picking up girls, otherwise they will feel bored. Chasing too closely will only backfire. Now that he knows my story, it’s time for her to know how cool I am…

However, after Lu Mengchan left, he suddenly realized that the lunch box in his hand was already a mess, with only white rice and a little soup left...

"Oh, did something go wrong?"

Looking at his empty lunch, Oak fell into deep thought. Could it be that he was being cheated...

------------

"Is the food okay?"

"The craftsmanship of that boy, Oak, is really good."

"As long as you think it tastes good."

The above words come from the conversation between Lu Fengxian and Lu Mengchan. There was no verbal communication just now, and they both understood each other's meaning simply by a few glances.

If it weren't for Mengchan's cooperation, there would be no way to make Zhumu obediently give up his lunch. Although Zhumu looks quite stupid, his IQ is actually not low. If I want to trick him without the help of Lu Mengchan, it would be really difficult to do.

Eat it all up and let them experience the feeling of eating rice without any side dishes at noon. I hope that they will learn a little lesson and know that the more beautiful people are, the darker their hearts are...

"But seriously, Mengchan, you can actually really consider that guy Zhumu. Even though he's a bit lecherous, a bit perverted, a bit stupid, and a bit shameless... at least he's serious about women. He fell in love with a girl online and was cheated of two or three months' salary without complaining."

After saying this, Lu Fengxian held his chin with his hand. To be honest, if he really handed his sister over to this guy, he would definitely regret it in the future, right?

"I don't need it, brother. If you want me to stay in this countryside, there are actually many ways to do it. There's no need to sell it to me." Lu Mengchan frowned, and a hint of annoyance appeared in her blue eyes.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything. After eating something, you always have to say something meaningless to burn it off."

Of course, he knew that Lu Mengchan would not be able to unify this impossible blind date, but Lu Fengxian still wanted to give it a try. He actually regretted it when he said this. Not to mention that Lu Mengchan disagreed, even if she agreed, he would not allow Zhumu to be his brother-in-law.

I don't mind introducing him to a little sister I know who lives near my grandfather's house, but as for sacrificing my own sister... I'm sorry, I'm not a saint, and even a saint would never do this.

The rather difficult morning passed, and the afternoon went much smoother than the morning. Children are always observant. Although Lu Mengchan acted very strong at the beginning, the students realized after spending a few hours with her that she was actually a very good sister, but she was just more wary of others. They soon gathered around her and started making noise.

"Sister Mengchan, can you teach me how to fight? I always lose to Erhu from the next village. Teach me how to beat him!"

"Sister, are the gangs in this city as powerful and rich as those on TV?"

"How can I make my skin as white and soft as milk jelly like you?"

These precocious and childish questions made Lu Mengchan at a loss for how to answer. She looked so cute when she was flustered. Many little boys had an extra question when they saw it...

"Sister Mengchan, when I grow up, can you be my girlfriend?"

Chapter 60 The Worst Bad Idea

“The job of a teacher is harder than I imagined…”

"Nothing is easier than you think, you have to understand."

Lu Mengchan, with her clothes a little messy, sat next to Lu Fengxian. At this time, she had been playing with the group of energetic children for several hours. Even though she had good physical strength, she had the illusion of overdrawn.

When Lu Fengxian saw her like this, he couldn't help laughing. Although he had noticed it a long time ago, it turned out that Lu Mengchan had always underestimated the profession of teacher. He didn't expect it to be so difficult, especially when 99% of the students had excess energy.

You need to prepare lessons, understand the psychology of each student, and have a certain degree of tolerance. Although the one-year vacation is very long, the actual workload is not less at all. You must know that on average every student in District 13 needs one-third of their time a day to learn various things, and the only one who can discipline them in these three minutes is the teacher.

Very hard, very leisurely, and also very satisfying...

"Looking at these little guys, this is the first time I don't feel any regret for what I did."

Stretching out his right hand with some nostalgia, Lu Fengxian said in a very calm and slow voice that he had done too many things in his life that made him regret, he hovered on the brink of death countless times, and regretted his actions countless times when he struggled.

There is no real fearlessness. The truly fearless warriors would have been completely submerged in the long river of history, just like a drop of water entering the dark and deep ocean, defenseless.

I am not the kind of person who is fearless as long as I have determined the direction. At least I am not that person now. I feel confused, regretful and all kinds of painful feelings.

Therefore, I have always been very confused and puzzled about what I have done. Sometimes, I can't help but have this stupid thought in my mind: would it be better if I took another path? I quickly rejected it, but I have indeed doubted myself countless times.

Thanks to these little brats...

I knew what I really wanted to do in the future and what kind of peaceful life I really wanted. For the first time, I had no doubts and it was also the first time that I was so stubborn to keep going.

"Really? That's great..."

Lu Mengchan frowned at Lu Fengxian's appearance but said nothing. She was not a woman who liked to impose her own values ​​on others, especially on her brother. If she really did that, she would not be Lu Mengchan but another woman with pathetic values ​​.

It's great that my brother is so happy, and I don't think there's anything wrong with living here, but it's just like I said before.

This is not home!

My home is in another place, and the only purpose of my coming here this time is to take him back to where he should be!

"I won't go back, at least..."

As the person who knew Lu Mengchan best, Lu Fengxian knew what she was thinking just by glancing at her. He smiled and added slowly, "It won't be so easy to go back." These words made Lu Mengchan's face look better. Although it was difficult, it was not impossible, right?

This is the peaceful life that I want. Whoever wants to destroy it must have a sufficient reason. Even if it is my own sister, it won't be that easy.

"Teacher Fengxian, come and play ball."

At this time, a little boy ran over with a ball and shouted loudly to Lu Fengxian, and Lu Fengxian smiled heartily, stood up from his cross-legged position, greeted Lu Mengchan, and ran towards them...

Really, the happiness and satisfaction are so dazzling.

Lv Mengchan didn't want to say a word of praise for this, and then there was also a little girl who timidly walked up to Lv Mengchan with a doll in her hand, but she didn't say anything yet...

"Ahh~~~, I suddenly feel very sleepy. I'm going to take a nap."

Lu Mengchan gathered her golden hair and walked directly towards the school health room without waiting for the girl in front of her to speak. Perhaps this was one of the few ways for her to express her dissatisfaction with the current situation.

"Well......"

The little girl opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, so she had to go back to play with her friends.

.........

It was an ordinary and uneventful day, but through today's performance, Lu Fengxian knew what kind of attitude Lu Mengchan had when she came to Sanhemu. It was an attitude of opposition and disapproval. Otherwise, although some unpleasantness happened at the beginning, how could a girl like her who had been wandering outside for who knows how long not forgive him?

Ultimately, it’s because I feel that this place is not home and there is no sense of belonging at all.

This place is clearly where my parents got married, my mother grew up, my parents met, my grandfather built a school... and so on, and it feels familiar to her. But it just feels strange to her, so strange that I feel resisted!

"I heard that Mengchan doesn't seem to be feeling very well today."

At night, while Lu Mengchan finished dinner and took a bath and went to her room to rest, her grandparents pulled her to the living room and started a heated discussion. The main content was Lu Mengchan, and the secondary content was how Lu Mengchan should stay in this place. In short, the two old people from Sanhemu had never thought of letting Lu Mengchan go back.

"By the way, isn't it inappropriate for us to talk about her behind her back like this?"

Lu Fengxian looked at the two old men and asked cautiously, but before he could say the next sentence, his two ears were pinched at the same time and then began to rotate. These two old men had no idea what it meant to protect the young. They were grimacing in pain but they didn't dare to do anything.

"You little brat, don't you know how chaotic the city is? Look at your sister now, with her blonde hair and eyes, it's just... Hey!"

"Wait, Grandpa, I remember it seemed to be natural."

"Is it natural that we can't talk about it? A man should act like a man. If he does something wrong, he should admit it. Those who shirk responsibility are not real men!"

So, I'm not shirking responsibility, I'm just telling the truth...

When Lu Fengxian noticed how excited his grandfather was, he didn't dare to say anything and could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.

"What Mengchan did in school today was not bad, but it was like an explosion. Did you know that those naughty boys in the school were almost killed by her?"

"As expected of our family, he really has a temper and personality!"

"........"

Anyway, I was an unfavored child. Seeing that my grandparents didn't get angry but praised me after hearing the news, Lu Fengxian almost vomited blood. Although gender inequality is common everywhere, it is really hard to describe when it happens to me!

Fortunately, the praise did not last long. The two elders soon got to the point. One after another, methods that could allow Lu Mengchan to stay in Sanhemu appeared but were rejected one by one.

"Use outstanding men to make her want to stay here?"
