A street urchin turned academic genius, starting by saving the blind school beauty.

Chapter 43 Baby, you smell so good in my arms

"Xu Ziqing, how could I possibly care about what other people think? Who is your older brother?"

"There's a word that perfectly describes me, you know? 'Charming and dashing'!"

Lu Zhaoye's pursed lips curled up again.

Xu Ziqing smiled foolishly, agreeing to whatever Lu Zhaoye said.

"Yes, yes! Big brother is right!"

Lu Zhaoye had a feeling that this silly rabbit was starting to go astray from him; could it be that he had infected it?

"Xu Ziqing, you're being so perfunctory. It feels like you're just trying to comfort me."

Xu Ziqing tilted her head.

"But if I don't comfort my older brother, I feel like he's going to shed little pearls!"

What are you doing, Watashi?! Who told you to learn my abstract style?!

Lu Zhaoye was speechless, but then he laughed in exasperation.

"Well, Xu Ziqing, now you even dare to joke about your older brother!"

"I'm really angry!"

"I'm really angry~~~"

Xu Ziqing mimicked Lu Zhaoye's words like a little duck.

"you..."

Lu Zhaoye was at his wit's end. If that fatso were to mimic his speech, he would slap him across the face in the next second.

But this is the sweet and soft Xu Ziqing! Look at those dimples that ripple with her smile, and look at those cherry lips.

Lu Zhaoye's eyes darted around, and he pretended to be very sad as he said,

"Xu Ziqing, if I really lost my little pearls, would you comfort me?"

Xu Ziqing's smile froze, and she hurriedly waved her hand.

"Of course, big brother, I'll comfort you!"

Lu Zhaoye suppressed a laugh and continued speaking.

"Then open your arms and let me cry in your arms."

Xu Ziqing didn't realize what was happening and actually opened her arms wide, completely oblivious.

Lu Zhaoye chuckled and, without hesitation, snuggled into Xu Ziqing's fragrant embrace.

Well, Xu Ziqing isn't as well-developed as her own Xiao Qingmei.

But her waist was really thin. This was the first time Lu Zhaoye had ever truly experienced what it meant to have a waist so slender it could be grasped in one hand.

And Xu Ziqing's neck feels so warm, with a faint lavender fragrance that smells wonderful.

Xu Ziqing was hugged by Lu Zhaoye. She was originally going to comfort Lu Zhaoye, since she had just really felt his sadness.

But now that Lu Zhaoye was in her arms, she felt that the boy didn't seem really sad.

"Big brother, please stop blowing on my neck, it tickles..."

"Waaaaah~ I'm so sad~~~"

Xu Ziqing had no choice but to blush and pat the boy's back, but...

"Big brother, please...please stop touching my waist, it really tickles..."

"Waaaaah, I'm so heartbroken~~ I'm so sad, hehehehe."

Lu Zhaoye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xu Ziqing immediately realized what was happening and touched the boy's eyes with her hand.

Not only were there no traces of water, but there was also a very noticeable raised area on the boy's face.

That's a smile!

Xu Ziqing screamed and immediately pulled Lu Zhaoye out of her arms.

"Big brother, you're so mean! You didn't cry at all!"

Hearing the girl's shy voice, Lu Zhaoye vehemently denied it.

"Xu Ziqing, you're talking nonsense! I just cried, it's on your T-shirt. Feel it if you don't believe me!"

Xu Ziqing pouted and tentatively wiped it, and to her surprise, there was actually a slightly damp spot.

"Well...that's only a little bit, how could you do this, brother?"

Although Xu Ziqing said she disliked it, she was secretly delighted, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Although Lu Zhaoye was mostly taking advantage of her while in his arms, she also benefited.

She had just carefully felt Lu Zhaoye's broad and strong back.

She also rubbed Lu Zhaoye's very soft hair several times.

"I was really a little sad just now, but after staying in your arms for a while, the whole world smelled so good."

Lu Zhaoye spoke with a look of rapture, then asked in return,

"Oh, by the way, do you use lavender shower gel when you shower at night?"

Xu Ziqing didn't know why Lu Zhaoye suddenly brought up the topic of taking a bath, but boys' thinking always seemed to jump around like that.

"No, brother, I don't use lavender scented ones."

Lu Zhaoye's eyes lit up. Wow, could this be Xu Ziqing's unique fragrance?

"Oh, I see."

"What's wrong, brother? Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just suddenly remembered."

Xu Ziqing pouted and squeezed the arm that was gripping Lu Zhaoye's arm hard.

"Hmph, Big Brother's a scoundrel, he suddenly thought of taking a bath!"

Lu Zhaoye remained noncommittal. This wasn't considered thuggery; it was simply human nature.

"Okay, okay, that's enough. Thank you for your little secret tonight. Now we're home, you can go back."

Xu Ziqing paused for a moment, a look of confusion on her face.

"Big brother, I haven't told you my secret yet!"

"what?"

Lu Zhaoye was dumbfounded, scratching his head.

"What you just said to comfort me, wasn't it a little secret?"

Xu Ziqing shook her head and said very sincerely,

"That's what I really think, not the secret I'm going to tell you today."

So that's what you really thought, baby, you're so good at flirting.

Lu Zhaoye's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected such a surprise.

"Oh ho, there's more! Tell big brother quickly."

Xu Ziqing smiled, released her grip on Lu Zhaoye's hand, and took her white backpack off her back.

Lu Zhaoye remembered this white backpack. When they first met, it was lying on the ground, covered in dust and filth.

However, the dust on the white backpack has long been washed away, and it is now clean.

Xu Ziqing skillfully unzipped her backpack and took out a bound booklet, handing it to Lu Zhaoye.

Lu Zhaoye looked bewildered. "Did Vadashi write me a love letter?"

But we're still minors! If we get a big rash from an allergic reaction on our stomachs, we'll be arrested and sent to jail.

"Brother, these are some predicted questions I made for you, about the next class placement exam."

"What?" Lu Zhaoye exclaimed in surprise.

Not a love letter? I'm already prepared to go to jail and enjoy the good life.

He opened the booklet, which contained neatly formatted questions and key points printed out by a machine.

Lu Zhaoye was stunned. He flipped through the pages at random and found not only knowledge of Chinese, mathematics, and English, but also questions that were copies of physics, chemistry, and biology.

666 Little Sunflower Classroom started but didn't call me.

"Xu Ziqing, didn't you say you couldn't write?"

Lu Zhaoye knew this was a bad question, but he was still very curious.

Xu Ziqing didn't care; instead, he said excitedly,

"Brother, the print shop owner printed this for me."

"I told my phone when I got home online, and it generated the text for me, which I then printed out."

This was the second time today that Lu Zhaoye had been stunned by the girl. He pursed his lips and said...

"With so much information, how long did it take you to finish explaining it?"

Xu Ziqing thought for a moment and then said bluntly,

"Probably... on Monday when I heard that my older brother was going to take the advanced class exam."

Lu Zhaoye was incredibly moved; this was truly a sign that a little pearl was about to fall from the sky.

I never expected something I didn't care about at all.

The timid kitten in the classroom cares, and so does the silly little rabbit.

"Big brother, you have to study hard for the exam! You might not pass this time, but if you work hard, you'll definitely have another chance!"

"If you study hard, you'll be able to get into the advanced class someday!"

Lu Zhaoye suddenly let out a breath and solemnly said to Xu Ziqing,

"With your secret guide, I'm sure I'll pass the exam, don't worry."

"Okay, then... do you like this gift, big brother?" Xu Ziqing asked shyly.

Lu Zhaoye smiled. This gift... seemed to be the first gift he had ever received.

"Of course I like it, I really like it."

"That's good. Well... big brother, shall I head back now?"

"Oh right, Mom said she'll pick me up the next two nights, so you don't need to take me home, big brother."

Xu Ziqing knew that if she stayed any longer, her older brother would lose his little pearl.

"Okay, then my brother won't be coming for the next couple of days, but I'll come over for lunch."

Xu Ziqing nodded obediently.

"Since you've been so well-behaved, I'll tell you a secret, brother."

Lu Zhaoye suppressed a laugh and said mysteriously.

"Oh? What?"

"Actually, the wet spot on your chest is my saliva, hahaha."

"Ah... Big brother!"
