Chapter 7: The Long-Legged Uncle Episode 6

  Because the plot twist ruined the male and female lead's first meeting, Su Luo has been feeling a bit anxious lately. On one hand, she hopes the female lead will appear soon so that she can be tortured and then return home; on the other hand, she is also afraid of the opponent appearing because she has become somewhat immersed in Qi Yu Xuan's love and the warmth of their three-person family, and doesn't want to give up such happiness.

  But no matter how she struggled, the heroine was still the heroine, and what was destined to happen still happened.

  On this day, the three of them gathered at Qi's home to enjoy "family bliss", Su Luo made their favorite dishes for father and son.

  At the dinner table, the three of them chatted as usual. Qi Yuxuan asked Qi Lin: "Qi Lin, is there a teacher named Zheng Ke at your school that you know?"

  When she heard this name that made her both love and fear, Su Luo's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, she pretended to be calm and continued eating.

  "Hmm, somewhat familiar, seems like our grade's language teacher, but didn't teach me, quite young and petite."

  "Yeah, it's her, as a people's teacher, she is so lacking in quality, fortunately, she didn't teach you, otherwise I would have found someone to change your class."

  "Dad, what did she do to offend you? Otherwise I'll help you teach her a lesson."

  "Last time your principal asked me to discuss sponsorship, there were several teachers accompanying her, and she was also there. We were having lunch when she suddenly spilled coconut milk all over me. I could have let it go as an accident, but two days ago, I ran into her again at the company building downstairs. In broad daylight, in front of a crowd, she actually started scolding our CEO, saying things like 'blind eyes' and 'unscrupulous businessman', and even worse things that I won't repeat to you. She attracted a group of onlookers, and security couldn't persuade her to stop. When asked, it turned out that she had come with a friend for an interview at our company, but didn't get through. Who can be blamed? Only herself for not having the ability. Our HR department rejects people like her every day, if everyone were like her, would we still need to run this company? It's really unlucky!" Qi Yuxuan complained, gritting his teeth, and added, "Let's just forget about her, we're civilized people, no need to violate school rules for her sake."

  It seems that the plot is indeed powerful, and this small butterfly that can't even stir up a storm should probably exit the stage as well. Su Luo's eyes felt a bit sour, and she suddenly lost her appetite...

  She and Qi Yu Xuan's relationship is still ongoing, but there are some changes that can be felt. For example, his text messages have increased in frequency, and he often picks up the phone to respond immediately, sometimes with an indignant expression, sometimes with a helpless and doting expression. For instance, when accompanying her shopping, seeing cute clothes and accessories, he would stop and take a look, but it's clear that those aren't her style. For example, one day he suddenly asked what "喜洋洋" (Xi Yang Yang) and "灰太狼" (Hui Tai Lang) were about, weren't they a wolf and sheep love story?

  These things, Qi Yuxuan himself may not have noticed, but she saw them clearly.

  Qianqian, you're right, heart, it really hurts.

  "Yu Xuan, our school's performance is on Friday at the Municipal Theater. I'm leading the dance and performing 'Swan Lake'. Can you come?" Su Luo had already mentally prepared herself to say goodbye, but she still couldn't help feeling reluctant and hoped to spend more time with him before they parted ways.

  "Come, of course I'll come, our Luoluo is so great, how can I not go to support her? At that time, I'll send you a big bouquet of flowers. What do you like, roses or lilies? Are 99 enough?" Qi Yuxuan lazily lay on her lap and let her dig his ears, which was his new hobby recently. After hearing Su Luoluo's invitation, he agreed without hesitation.

  Suoluo also couldn't help but smile, at least now he still loves me.

  Friday afternoon.

  "The final dress rehearsal is over, classmates are all spirited, we must bring out our best level......" The instructor made a final mobilization.

  Buzz buzz buzz - Su Luo felt the phone in her jacket pocket vibrating, took a look and saw that it was Qi Yu Xuan, so she secretly ran out to answer.

  "Hey Yuxuan, anything going on? I've already started rehearsing on stage."

  "Sorry, Luoluo, I may not be able to make it back today. There's a problem with the negotiations in X city and I need to stay another day." Qi Yuxuan apologized to her.

  "It's okay, work is important, there will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future, you're busy, I'll hang up first, the teacher is calling someone." Su Luo hung up the phone and felt a little sad, wanting to let Qi Yu Xuan see her jump back dance before leaving, but didn't know if it could still happen.

  Forget it, don't think too much, go change your clothes first.

  "Lolo, you've lost a lot of weight recently, the size of your clothes is now loose. Is it because of too much pressure? Don't worry, just do well in your dance, teacher has confidence in you, don't be too hard on yourself." The instructor really liked this talented student, although she always nagged them to control their weight, and would go on and on if they gained a little, but when they actually lost weight, she felt sorry for them.

  "Thank you, teacher, I'm fine." Eating poorly and sleeping poorly with a worried mind, how can one not lose weight?

  "Something's happened, something's happened, there was a massive earthquake in X city, I heard many people have died." A girl who controlled Weibo suddenly saw a piece of bad news.

  "Really? What magnitude was it? There have been so many earthquakes recently..." Although there were no X city people around, everyone still started discussing it with concern.

  "What's going on? As long as the theater doesn't collapse, it's none of your business. Quickly put away your phones." The instructor was furious, and with a single order, the noisy crowd quieted down again.

  "X City! What did you say? X City had an earthquake?" Su Luo Luo was recalling her dance steps, and when she came to herself, she snatched the phone from the girl's hand and started browsing through the messages.

  What's going on? Isn't Qi Yuxuan over there? Could something have happened to him? Su Luo quickly took out her phone and called him.

  It's shut down! That damn thing actually shut down! What am I going to do?! No way, nothing will happen for sure!

  What's his office phone number, there must be others in the same industry, how come I didn't save it, ah!! Can't remember! It's really driving me crazy! Su Luo is so anxious that she wants to bang her head and pull her hair.

  Yes, Zilong!

  "The number you dialed is currently unavailable, please hold...". Qi Lin must be in class right now.

  What's going on! Let's go take a look at his company anyway.

  "Teacher, I have an emergency, can I take a short leave and come back right away?"

  "Suluo, come back..." The teacher's shout was left behind her.

  Could it be because of my butterfly effect, changing Qi Yuxuan's fate, making him... All the way, Su Luo couldn't hold back all sorts of bad thoughts, tears gushing down, scaring the taxi driver.

  "I'm looking for Linda!" Finally arrived at the Qi Building, greeted the front desk and rushed to the CEO's secretary room without caring whether they agreed or not.

  "Linda, do you have any news about Qi? There was an earthquake in X city and I couldn't get through to his phone. Can you contact other colleagues over there?" Before getting off the car, she had already wiped away her tears and tried to calm down her emotions, at least enough to speak clearly.

  Didn't Qi Zong come back yesterday? Linda was puzzled. However, those who have mixed to her position are all sophisticated people and naturally won't say it directly.

  "Don't worry for now, have a drink of water, let me check."

  Ding ding ding - Just as Linda was about to get up and pour water, her phone rang. She took a look, it was the landline from Qi's house.

  "Hello?"

  "Linda, if you don't have anything urgent on your end, can you help me buy some fever-reducing medicine and send it to my home?"

  Linda let out a sigh of relief. So she was sick after all, she had thought... it's okay, it's okay, at least it wasn't an affair and she didn't have to cover for her.

  To reassure Su Luo, she directly pressed the hands-free button.

  "Right, go to the department store next door and buy a set of women's clothes, bring them together, size S. And... underwear too, any style is fine, as long as it's comfortable."

  Zi Zong, you rascal! Linda's intestines are all green with regret, and it's too late to turn off the hands-free.

  "Uh-huh." He responded vaguely, indicating that he had heard the task, and then quickly hung up.

  Linda felt like an accomplice, guilty and ashamed, and didn't dare look at Suoluo's expression.

  "Since he's fine, I'll leave first and won't disturb your work. By the way, please don't mention that I came, okay?" Unexpectedly, she didn't cry.

  It's not that she's not sad, it's just that compared to what happened to Qi Yuxuan, this result is already much better. After all, he didn't belong to her in the first place, and she had long been mentally prepared for it. Now it's just that it has happened, and coincidentally, she heard about it too.

  Yes, Suoluo, you shouldn't be sad and can't cry. You'll be able to go back soon, it's a good thing, you should be happy instead.

  Linda saw her wearing a ballet costume outside with a coat on, and there were still tear stains on her face that hadn't dried yet. She thought something was wrong and hurried over, but didn't expect it to be like this. As a woman herself, she felt sorry for her.

  Zi Zong is really something, abandoning his young and beautiful girlfriend who loves him, going outside to flirt around.

  "You're okay, I think... won't there be some misunderstanding, maybe someone from Director Qi's family came over?" She didn't even believe this herself.

  "Thank you, I'm fine, there's a performance at school, so I'll leave first."

  Linda was still worried and personally escorted her downstairs, watching as she got into the taxi before turning back to buy medicine and clothes for the "bad woman".

  Fox spirit, you can't be killed by fire, humph!

  When Su Luo returned to the theater, the performance had not yet started. However, she was informed by her classmates that because she left halfway through, the teacher had already arranged for someone else to replace her position. Generally, for such major performances, in order to be prepared for any situation, there are backup candidates on one hand, and also to stimulate students' motivation, there is competition and only then can there be progress. If you don't perform well, naturally, there will be people better than you who will take your place. To be honest, it's quite cruel. What everyone was more worried about for her was that the school had already found out about this matter and would deal with it seriously later on.

  Hehe, I don't make a living from this anyway, just deal with it then.

  Suoluo stood up straight under everyone's sympathetic yet puzzled gaze, changed his clothes and shoes, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

  Being a good student is overrated, making mistakes occasionally is also a way of experiencing life, right? She found solace in her hardships.
