Chapter 134 Was there really eavesdropping?
Lu Mingfei smiled upon hearing this. He kept the question of his roommate's relationship to himself, as it was obviously very impolite to gossip about someone behind their back.
He's not Zhang Fei.
After Susie finished humming, he clapped his hands and spoke.
"Wow! Susie, have you ever thought about forming a band? You'd be a world-class superstar!"
Let's not talk about the celebrities, let's talk about the superstars.
"Let's forget about it, we're too busy, there's just too much to do."
As Susie said this with a smile, she placed her hands on the rocks, leaned back slightly, and swayed her legs in the spring water.
She kicked the water, creating small ripples, and the sunlight fell on the water's surface, scattering brightly.
She looked genuinely happy.
It's not the kind of smile you put on to please others, but the kind that comes from a genuine sense of relaxation.
As Lu Mingfei watched her swing her legs, a very inappropriate thought suddenly popped into his mind: If Fingel saw this scene, who knows what he would write!
Fortunately, Fingel wasn't there.
...Are you really not here?
No way! They're plotting something between them right now!
Lu Mingfei's eyes sharpened instantly, and he began searching for the person eavesdropping.
No? How is that possible?
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, then began to listen attentively.
"Buzz"
There it is!
Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky. High up, a drone covered in optical camouflage was filming them with a camera.
Wow, even the eavesdropping techniques have evolved with the times?
Lu Mingfei picked up a pebble and threw it.
Susie suddenly saw a flash of light in the sky, followed by a black line sliding down from the sky.
Yes, it's a drone.
The coolness of the spring water has faded, my feet are warming up, my blood is slowly flowing back, and even my heart is feeling lazy.
After a while, Susie suddenly turned her head to the side.
"Oh, right."
She asked the question as if it were just a casual remark.
"What are your plans regarding your assistant?"
Lu Mingfei was taken aback; clearly, he had been deliberately putting off this question.
"I don't know either. If we really can't find someone suitable, we might as well not look for anyone at all."
He speaks the absolute truth from the moment he opens his mouth.
"Just one person going?"
"Um.
""
Lu Mingfei nodded.
"Since they're all already in the finals, there's no difference if they tank."
He said it without any hesitation.
"If we bring Zero along, she'll definitely be exhausted. With her personality, once she takes on a task, she'll take on everything."
"And what about you?"
Susie asked.
"I?"
Lu Mingfei pointed to himself and smiled.
"My job is to stand on the stage; the rest is up to fate."
Details are not a matter of fate.
Susie did not respond immediately.
She looked down at the shimmering light and shadows in the water, her feet still swaying slowly, as if she were pondering something that didn't require an immediate answer.
A gust of wind blew by, lifting her hair before it fell back onto her shoulder.
After a few seconds, she looked up.
"Then do you want to...?"
...Shall I be your assistant?
The words had barely left his lips when the sound of water continued, and the clouds still drifted across the sky.
But Lu Mingfei paused noticeably.
"You're going to be my assistant? You're not going to be Chu Zihang's assistant? That's practically aiding the enemy!"
Yes, that's why Lu Mingfei hasn't invited Susie yet.
He assumed Susie would definitely become Chu Zihang's assistant, otherwise why hadn't he invited her before?
Actually, the first person he thought of was Susie. After all, she was Susie, and it felt like no one could compete with her in handling this kind of situation.
But he is, after all, the vice president of the Lionheart Society.
Susie paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
"Your thought process is a bit too serious."
She turned her head to look at him, her tone relaxed.
"Chu Zihang has already made the arrangements."
"ah?
"
Lu Mingfei was taken aback.
"You already have an assistant?"
"Um."
Susie nodded.
"And there are many more, after all, they've always been suppressed by the student council, and everyone wants to overpower Caesar."
She thought for a moment and then added a sentence.
"In the end, with so many people in the Lionheart Society, it would be strange if they were really short of manpower."
These words were quite true, and Lu Mingfei understood them immediately.
indeed.
The Lionheart Society's personnel consisted of renowned and formidable fighters; in fact, they were excessively well-manned.
Such eagerness always gives people a sense of ulterior motives.
On the other hand, look at his side—
The president of the Silverwing Society sounds impressive.
In reality, there were only two people: one was the Wing of Benevolence, and the other was the Wing of Righteousness.
And there are absolutely no club activities...
It's not that there wasn't any; he and Zero attending classes and eating together definitely counted as club activities, since it was just the two of them.
Lu Mingfei was silent for a second.
Then he nodded very honestly.
"Susie, your words are piercing my heart... but I still don't regret the number of people in our club."
When he said this, his tone carried a hint of admitting his mistake but not acknowledging it.
Susie didn't reply, she just looked at him quietly.
The wind on the mountaintop blew past them, the water surface rippled slightly, reflecting the sunlight so bright it was almost dazzling.
Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something and looked up.
He glanced at Susie.
I looked at her expression again, which said, "I've thought it through. If you back down now, I'll push you into the water."
So he straightened up a bit, stretched out his hand, and his tone suddenly became serious.
"That one"
"Senior Susie."
"Um.
""
Seeing Susie's response, Lu Mingfei's eyes sharpened.
Would you be willing to serve as my assistant?
This was said in a very serious tone, even with a touch of ceremony.
It's like handing out a job offer, or like inviting someone to join the business.
After saying that, he realized he was being a bit childish, so he cleared his throat and added a sentence.
"Of course, I will give you a satisfactory figure in terms of compensation."
Susie looked at his outstretched hand and blinked.
The next second, she smiled.
It wasn't the polite, restrained kind of laugh; it was a very relaxed one.
She stood up from the water, splashing a little water, and slowly placed her hand in his palm.
"Then I'll reluctantly accept this task without further ado."
Her tone was gentle, yet her answer was crisp.
They gently clasped hands.
The mountaintop spring continued to flow, and the wind passed through the shadows of the clouds.
In the Amber Pavilion, which had been almost entirely transformed into a wine cellar, Lu Mingfei set off a small paper firecracker, then spoke up.
There is a Saudi Arabian proverb that says, "If you want to reach your destination, you must first get the best camels."
"And today, we've gained a powerful ally, Susie! With her help, we're sure to achieve our desired ranking in the Academy Star competition!"
As Lu Mingfei spoke, he clapped for Susie, while Ling clapped expressionlessly.
Although her expression is usually quite calm, it was unusually calm today.
And then the conversation fell silent.
