Chapter 54 -54: The World Changed When Fifth Brother Woke Up

Lu Sheng returned to the classroom and sat in the back corner.

Almost the entire class was quietly watching her; even when the teacher arrived, few were listening to the lecture, all busy secretly playing with their phones under the desks.

Lu Qianrou hadn’t returned to the classroom, and nobody knew where she had gone. Probably too embarrassed to stay in the classroom after what had happened, Fu Chen also hadn’t come back.

Lu Sheng didn’t care whether people were stealthily watching her or not; she just slightly furrowed her brow and searched up Shengjing High School’s forum on her phone.

Fu Chen had mentioned a video on the forum earlier, of which she had no idea that it was about her being uploaded there.

After watching those two surveillance videos, she suddenly looked up and gazed at the boy sitting next to her, who was looking down at his book.

“…Were these two videos obtained by you hacking into Shengjing’s system to help me?” Lu Sheng asked.

Huo Yu was startled, not expecting the girl to guess so quickly. His eyes trembled slightly, but he did not deny it.

“That day I asked you what your expertise was, you hadn’t gotten a chance to answer me, now it seems it must be something computer-related.”

“The Shengjing system isn’t something just anyone can hack into, especially in such a short time.”

Huo Yu paused briefly, then solemnly spoke: “…Those people were saying some really nasty things.”

Lu Sheng glanced at him: “Actually, I don’t care what those people say about me, but I’m still very grateful for your help.”

“I’ve noted this favor. If you need help with anything in the future, just let me know.”

“You’re a member of K.A as well, right,” Huo Yu paused, then asked the question he had been wanting to ask, “What is your code name and expertise?”

Lu Sheng didn’t intend to hide it: “If we’re talking code names, I’m called Qiangwei. As for expertise…”

Huo Yu saw that the girl paused for a moment, then said: “If it’s inconvenient to say, you don’t have to.”

It’s not that it was inconvenient to say, just that her expertise was too broad, so Lu Sheng randomly picked one: “I’m the piano.”

Upon hearing that Lu Sheng’s expertise was the piano, Huo Yu recalled the girl’s piano performance at the party he had just seen.

On stage, she was like a naturally dazzling star. Her delicate and fair fingers danced freely over the black and white piano keys, immersing the audience into the musical world she created.

Indeed.

Diligent practice might render a song proficiently performed, but only a genius could transcend the rigid scores and notes, endowing a piece of music with soul.

After chatting with Huo Yu, Lu Sheng switched her phone back to the home screen, and then noticed that several dozen message notifications awaited her on WeChat.

First, the unread messages.

There were messages from Lu Youye, who had sent over a dozen himself.

[What even happened?! I just took a nap during the break, and the world changed?]

[The Mayor’s Wife came to school personally to thank someone? Qianrou got exposed for impersonating you? What is all this?]

[When did you start rescuing people on streets?! You just bolted out there; you want to give me a heart attack! That video stopped my heart! What if something had happened to you?!]

[You completed yesterday’s exam in just forty minutes?!! Scored full marks on all the written questions? You outdid You Ming this time!! Wait ’til he gets back, I’ll definitely brag to him!!]

[Ah ah ah, truly proud of my little sister! How are you so amazing! Let brother rub you at lunch!! How about I take you out for ice cream tonight?]

[It’s so painful not to be in the same class. Not good, I won’t play games this month. I have to get into class A for the monthly exam to be with you, I’ll put my word out here!]

[Why isn’t the class ending yet?! Is a class period this long?? Why did I feel like it was time to leave as soon as I woke up last time?]

[Also, Second Brother asked me for your WeChat, I’ve mentioned you to him several times, if he adds you remember to accept.]

What does it mean to wake up and the world has changed? Probably talking about the current Lu Youye.

Even through the screen, Lu Sheng could feel his confusion and excitement.

These messages looked silly, but she couldn’t help the corners of her mouth turning up slightly.

A brother with ‘Sister Complex’, somehow that seems pretty cute.

Thus, Lu Sheng replied:

[Anyway, it’s just a messy business, not important. I have arranged to have lunch with someone, Brother you go home first.]

In class E.

After Lu Youye sent that barrage of messages, he started staring at the screen, checking for new messages every five seconds.

Really, it’s been ten minutes already.

Why is my sister not replying yet?

Is her phone broken?

Just as Lu Youye was checking his phone over and over again, suspecting there must be something wrong with it, a message notification finally popped up.

However, before he could feel relieved, he saw that Lu Sheng had arranged to have lunch with someone.

Arranged lunch with someone!

Lu Sheng had just arrived in Jiang City and probably only knew a few people; who did she plan to have lunch with?

Could it be a new classmate? Male or female? Did that person take an interest in her and ask her out?

Warning bells went off in Lu Youye’s mind.

No way.

His sister was so adorable, what if the person had designs on her and took advantage of her during lunch?

But he couldn’t just tell Lu Sheng not to dine with others; that would seem too controlling, and she deserves her own social freedom.

After much deliberation, Lu Youye decided to agree for now and secretly follow her at noon to make sure the person she was meeting wasn’t a bad influence before he would leave.

Lu Sheng had no idea that her simple mention of having lunch with someone had led Lu Youye to imagine a scenario where she was intoxicated and taken to a hotel.

She then opened a message from Li Muchen.

Compared to Lu Youye’s screen full of exclamation points, the speech from an older man indeed seemed much more composed.

[Chen An showed me the live stream replay, was the rescuing incident yesterday afternoon?]

[I will accompany you home from now on.]

[Although it was an emergency, don’t do such risky things again in the future.]

[I would be scared.]

Although it was just three words at the end, Lu Sheng could almost visualize the man staring at the video in his office.

His expression was stern and deep, yet his brows were furrowed, making one unable to resist the urge to smooth them with a fingertip.

Suddenly, she missed him a bit.

[Okay, I won’t do it again.]

Lu Sheng typed a few more words, [I miss you.]

[I’ll see you soon,] Li Muchen replied instantly, [I miss you too.]

Seeing his own boss sitting in front of the desk, staring blankly at the phone screen with tenderness almost brimming in his eyes, Chen An didn’t need to guess who he was messaging.

Lu Sheng’s WeChat had just been registered a few days ago, and she only had three contacts: Lu Jingyan, Lu Youye, and Li Muchen.

Now, she had several friend request notifications.

Three people sent friend requests.

Lu Sheng opened them one by one, the first person’s profile picture appeared to be female, the verification message read, [Hello Miss Lu Sheng, I’m Fang Hong, Xiao Yan’s mother].

The second person’s profile picture was of an anime young man, with the verification message saying, [Hello Sister Shengsheng~]

The third person’s profile image was blank, as was the verification message.

Remembering what Lu Youye had just mentioned, that second brother would add her on WeChat, she figured this second person must be Lu Siyan.

Thus, she straightforwardly accepted the first two friend requests and then directly declined the third person.

Some inexplicable person, looking like a creep.

Outside the coffee shop near Shengjing High School.

Fang Hong glanced at her phone, happily saying, “Ah, Shengsheng accepted my friend request.”

While drinking juice and obediently waiting for his sister after school, Lin Yan’s eyes lit up, anxiously pulling Fang Hong’s hand to have a look.

“I was accepted too,” Lin Yi also glanced at his phone and casually asked, “How about you, Siyan? Did she accept your request?”

Lu Siyan opened WeChat to check—[Sorry, your friend request has been denied.]

Lu Siyan: “…”
