It seems that the villain is targeting me.

System: [Let me put it this way. Lu Zhiqing's role in the plot is Bai Yueguang.]

Xiao Niao: “…”

It's really the classic white moonlight when traveling abroad.

[…Because the plot needs to be approved, I can’t say anything too harsh.] The system muttered, [Otherwise, who knows what else I’ll come up with…]

Xiaoniao was right. When Number Four read the synopsis, the narrative subject was Lu Yao. It was indeed possible that she viewed all living creatures, including kittens and puppies, including her own children, as potential competitors.

Xiaoniao: I understand.

Whether you should say it or not, communicating directly through thoughts is much more efficient than using words.

Just like now, the above long series of conversations in the mind, if put into reality, Xiao Niao was just a little distracted.

She gathered her thoughts and spoke to Lu Zhiqing with genuine feeling: "It's not a big deal. It's you who has worked so hard."

Lu Zhiqing thought Xiaoniao was just being polite and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The girl was feeling very troubled: Lu Yao acted willfully and directly gave the new tutor the cold shoulder - how would she end up like this?

To be honest, Lu Zhiqing really wanted Xiao Niao to go back.

Her step-sister doesn't look like she's interested in studying now. Even if she forces her to the desk, she probably won't cooperate.

But the other party was a tutor hired by his father after all. Without his father's permission, Lu Zhiqing could not make a decision on behalf of the parents.

Moreover, the teacher took the trouble to come to the house in person, and came in to see such a farce...

The girl sighed, her expression showing fatigue.

"I'm really sorry. As you can see, my sister may not be able to attend classes for the time being. Of course, the fees for this home teaching will still be paid as usual."

Xiao Niao nodded. The money was not paid to her, so she didn't care.

Lu Zhiqing apologized to Xiaoniao again and suggested:

"...It's getting late now. Why don't you stay for dinner and rest for the night? I'll send a driver to take you downtown tomorrow morning."

There are many rooms in Lu's house for guests to rest. Since it is quite far from the city, it is common for visitors to stay overnight.

As he spoke, Lu Zhiqing's gaze unconsciously moved downwards to the small pile of milky white pistachio shells on the table.

Lu Zhiqing: "..." I feel like my appetite is pretty good.

The bird on the other side was thinking: "How can there be such a good thing as offering a pillow to someone who is dozing off? I was just wondering what excuse I could come up with to stay a little longer."

The man then said, "Ah, if that's the case, then I'll respectfully obey your command."

Lu Zhiqing had already said it, so she naturally wouldn't regret it at this moment. She nodded to Xiaoniao and sat down on the other side of the sofa. The two of them chatted casually for a while.

Xiao Niao still remembered his role as a "home tutor", so he dutifully asked about Lu Yao's academic performance and asked her some questions.

However, Xiaoniao clearly felt that Lu Zhiqing was wary of her as an "outsider".

Although she and Lu Yao don't get along well, Lu Zhiqing, as her elder sister, is still very cautious and does not disclose her sister's personal affairs other than her academic status.

Xiao Niao thought: This person is very cautious, I don’t know if it’s because of his personality or developed in the acquired environment.

She was not in a hurry, so she did not test him any further, and the topic turned to a relaxed and casual one.

As for some of the questions asked by Lu Zhiqing, Xiaoniao was able to answer them all successfully with the system prompting.

After several conversations, Lu Zhiqing no longer doubted Xiao Niao's identity.

Moreover, she soon discovered that chatting with Xiaoniao was quite pleasant. The other party was neither offensive nor preachy when speaking, and there was no sense of alienation caused by the age gap.

After picking two interesting topics to talk about, Lu Zhiqing's mood became cheerful unconsciously.

——However, this is actually natural.

Technically, Xiaoniao has experience in inciting military mutiny in the enemy base.

In terms of charisma, Xiaoniao once argued with a group of illiterate natives who wanted to roast her into a roasted bird to delay time.

At least half of this person's talents and skills are in eloquence and adaptability. As long as she wants to, it would be very easy to make a young girl who has not yet entered society happy.

However, what was a little surprising was that after they had been chatting for about half an hour, Lu

Yao actually came back to the living room again.

I don’t know what the Son of Fortune said to coax her, but he actually made this arrogant and domineering ancestor come back obediently.

Lu Yao glanced at the two people chatting on the sofa, then snorted unhappily, "She's the new teacher Dad hired for me?"

These impolite words made Lu Zhiqing frown subconsciously.

"What are you doing here again?" She looked at Lu Yao.

That look seemed to remind Lu Yao of what had just happened, and her cheeks seemed to be burning with pain again.

Originally, Lu Yao was persuaded by Gu Tianjiao to submit to her sister... but this person obviously had his own unique understanding of submission.

She thought she was giving Lu Zhiqing face by coming back, but not only did he not appreciate it, he even glared at her fiercely!

Seeing that the man was about to explode, Xiao Niao stood up at the right time to smooth things over: "You are Miss Lu Yao, right?"

Xiao Niao performed the role conscientiously, even imitating the awkward expression of "anxious to change the subject" perfectly.

"Without further ado, since you are free now, let's first learn about your academic status."

She took out a test paper and pushed him to the table, "Come on, do it quickly."

--------

-

As the sun sank below the horizon, the soft night like a black veil covered the buildings. After a brief period of darkness, the Lu family mansion became brightly lit.

/(two)()*Ⅷ≌stay,/Ⅸ+*5-∴wine,*%~三$零＄琪∥扣夋：≌

The warm lights are reflected by the hot aroma lingering on the dining table.

Although Lu Zhiqing was polite and only asked Xiaoniao to stay for a simple dinner, the food actually served on the table was extremely rich.

It's just that Dad Lu clearly prefers Western style. The chef he hired is also best at Western cuisine. The first dish is green belt mixed with black vinegar sauce...

Xiao Niao has been in the other world for almost twenty years. He gets scared when he sees bread, potatoes and lettuce leaves. He wants to rush into the kitchen to cook two dishes and then steam a pot of rice.

She just picked out the cherry tomatoes and ate them, and didn't touch the rest.

Because he was a guest, Xiao Niao was arranged to sit closer to the main seat, with Lu Zhiqing on his left.

"Is it not to your taste?" the girl asked with concern.

Xiao Niao nodded honestly: "It's okay, I'm a little uncomfortable with eating raw food."

Lu Zhiqing thought to himself: Forget it, I'll tell the kitchen staff later to not serve the crispy fried short ribs and instead serve well-cooked white fish...

As she was thinking, she casually asked, "Did the teacher arrange a baseline test? How did Lu Yao do?"

Lu Zhiqing herself didn't care that much about her sister, but because her father might ask about it after he came back, she asked casually.

Xiao Niao still answered honestly: "It's okay, there is a lot of room for improvement."

Lu Yao, who was eating at the same table, said: "..."

Gu Tianjiao, who was sitting at the corner of Lu Yao: "..."

Lu Yao's face turned pale and blue, but in the end she just gritted her teeth in anger and continued to eat.

Sister Lu Zhiqing was in a relatively calm mood. She just smiled and said, "Really?"

Of course, whether she was happy or not was unknown...

[Twenty questions, seventeen wrong. There's definitely a lot of room for improvement.]

The system murmured sarcastically: [We can't rule out the possibility of guessing correctly... Didn't they learn at all?]

"No," Xiao Niao recalled the contents of the paper. "She remembered most of the knowledge points and could do a little bit of every question...but she even got the simplest equation wrong."

"It's not like I haven't learned anything, it's more like so much time has passed that I've forgotten everything."

Yes, in the original plot, Lu Yao's grades were actually not bad, and at the very least, they couldn't be so outrageously wrong.

Xiao Niao recalled a post he had seen online, where there was a hot topic: "If you were back on the eve of the college entrance examination, what would you do?"

The first hot comment below: 'method'.

Although this statement is exaggerated, it is true enough. Xiao Niao has basically forgotten everything he learned in high school.

Combined with the strange things Lu Yao said before... there are indeed many strange things.

It would be nice if I could find a way to ask something more.

Xiao Niao had already begun to miss the Feather Guards he had personally established in the previous small world. Those efficient interrogation procedures had helped him a lot in the beginning...

But then again, this is a society ruled by law after all, and many violent and illegal things are not allowed.

The atmosphere at the table became much calmer. For a moment, no one spoke anymore, leaving only the sound of quiet dining.

Then, just as the main course was finished and dessert was about to be served, Lu Yao suddenly turned around and took the tray from the servant.

The final dessert was ice cream with jam, served in four small bowls.

Lu Yao smiled sweetly at the servant and said, "I'll divide it. Thank you."

After saying that, she really picked up the tray and distributed desserts to everyone at the table.

First she gave it to Gu Tianjiao, and then to herself.

The third portion was given to the bird, and the last portion was served to...

[Bird,] the system's low voice rang out, [Lu Zhiqing's copy was drugged.]

Chapter 5000: Ice Cream is Here! [+]

Let's go forward a little bit in time

Dial some, before dinner starts.

"It's so troublesome... I've graduated from college for several years, why do I still have to do those high school questions..."

Lu Yao muttered irritably and slammed the door of her bedroom.

Who could have imagined that one day when she was reborn, the first thing Lu Yao would face was a major academic crisis!

At first glance, I seem to recognize those equation formulas and root-finding formulas, but in reality, I am not familiar with them.

Obviously, my studies in my previous life weren't particularly bad...

In the end, she basically forced herself to fill out the test paper casually, and then went back to her room, using the excuse of being tired and needing to rest.

But as we all know, even your loved ones can backstab you, but mathematics can't.

If you don’t know math, you don’t know it.

The real damage caused by high school mathematics made Lu Yao's excitement for rebirth unconsciously wilted.

When she thought about going back to high school soon, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart...

I don't know how long I lay there dejectedly.

Suddenly, Lu Yao sat up from the bed with a somersault.

"No, I didn't come back to go to Harvard," she encouraged herself, "I came back to... to make up for the shortcomings of my previous life!"

Although it is not common in this era, for Lu Yao, who has already lived once, "rebirth" and "time travel" are no longer new words.

Wasn't that how it all played out in those TV dramas of my past life? Rebirth, redemption, reconciliation, and revenge...

The word revenge flashed through my mind.

Lu Yao seemed to have received a keyword, and the figure of Lu Zhiqing naturally emerged in her mind.

It was all because of this woman, Lu Yao thought bitterly. It was her who had caused her to lose face in her previous life and become a complete joke in the circle of wealthy kids in Jiangcheng.

Although it was precisely because of this that she and Gu Tianjiao got engaged by accident.

But now, with these memories of her previous life, she will definitely live a better life than in her previous life!

Lu Yao thought about it carefully: Lu Zhiqing was nothing special. She just helped Brother Tianjiao a few times when he was still living in the Lu family.

Although she was ignorant and always bullied Gu Tianjiao at that time...but now she has taken the initiative to build a closer relationship with Brother Tianjiao!

She heard with her own ears that Brother Tianjiao had never blamed her.

What's the white moonlight? It's all just a filter, Lu Yao thought indignantly. That face looks... actually, that's just the way it is.
