MSISAS |Chapter 14: The Toes Say It’s a Big Project

Xu Qing brought the hangover soup to the room and leaned against the door.

“The hangover soup is ready. Aren’t you going to get up and have some?”

Lu Xianzhi looked over and saw Xu Qing lazily leaning against the doorframe, holding a bowl of hangover soup in her hand.

“Um, I’ll get up right away! I haven’t brushed my teeth!”

“There are disposable toiletries in the bathroom, in the cabinet. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

It was only when Lu Xianzhi reached the mirror that she realized she was wearing Xu Qing’s shirt. Her face turned red. “Ah, it’s so loose, it covers my butt.”

After washing up, Lu Xianzhi went downstairs.

Seeing she was barefoot, Xu Qing frowned slightly. “Why aren’t you wearing shoes?”

“There’s underfloor heating! It’s not cold!”

Xu Qing brought over a pair of disposable slippers for her. Lu Xianzhi obediently drank the hangover soup.

Xu Qing then went to the kitchen and brought back porridge and pastries. “Take it slow.”

Truly playing both mom and dad.

Lu Xianzhi cautiously drank the porridge, sneakily peeking at Xu Qing, occasionally meeting Xu Qing’s gaze.

Ah, someone save me, I’m dying here!

Lu Xianzhi’s toes wiggled in her slippers, a massive project indeed.

Xu Qing heard the sound of the slippers and looked down. Lu Xianzhi’s feet seemed to be dancing.

“You, do your feet have a problem?”

Lu Xianzhi froze. “Ah.” Yet another social death, what to do, need to build a spaceship quick.

Oh, my little horse! Sister is your mom fan! Don’t forget mom when you go to the next planet!

“I…”

“If there’s something wrong with your feet, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. I happen to know a few, do you want to go to the hospital later with me?”

Xu Qing looked at Lu Xianzhi with concern, and the special effects of soybeans on Lu Xianzhi’s face were about to fall off.

Don’t do this, I really need to buy a colorful skeleton urn from Pingxx.

Quickly change the topic: “So, why is this place so big? Do you live alone?”

“Yes.”

“Do doctors make that much money?”

“No.”

“Oh.” Great! The topic has shifted!

“This property was my coming-of-age gift.”

Lu Xianzhi was stunned. Is this how rich people operate?

“Do you have any younger brothers or older brothers?”

“Hm? Are you hoping to marry in?”

Lu Xianzhi blushed and waved her hands. “No…no.”

“No. It’s just me.”

“Can I ask you a question?” Lu Xianzhi rubbed her hands together, looking quite gossipy.

“Yes.” Xu Qing sipped the porridge carefully.

“Are you going to inherit the family fortune then?”

“Yes.”

“Aren’t you studying medicine?”

“As a minor.”

Lu Xianzhi felt like her brain was going to explode. She had heard that studying medicine could destroy a person, but didn’t expect it could be done as a minor too.

Xu Qing watched Lu Xianzhi, whose expression was like she’d swallowed three eggs, looking very surprised.

Gently laughing: “You don’t have to worry about so much. Just drink your porridge obediently.”

Kids shouldn’t think about so much. When making money in the future, all she needs to know is how to spend it.

Lu Xianzhi still couldn’t recover from the shock. Is this even human? Really?

Is this the difference between people? How can it be so vast? I feel like I’m just here to make up the numbers in this world.

“So unfair, boo hoo hoo.”

“What’s wrong?”

“The gap between people increasingly shows that I’m useless.”

“Why would you think that? Little Zhi, there are things you do that I can’t.” Didn’t you already conquer this?

“Yes! I must act well!”

“Yes.”

Lu Xianzhi wouldn’t daydream.

After breakfast, Xu Qing drove Lu Xianzhi back to Green Forest Court, then went to the clothing store to buy some clothes for Lu Xianzhi.

She placed them in the villa. Don’t ask how she knew the sizes; Xu Qing figured it out with her hands and eyes.

Then she looked at the disastrous guest room, “Hello, is this the cleaning lady? Yes, come right in, thank you for your hard work.”

After coming out, she still had a disdainful look, and sent the photo she just took to Lu Xianzhi, thoughtfully adding a mosaic.

Far away in Green Forest Court, Lu Xianzhi saw it and her toes started constructing again.

“So, I’m sorry, I’ll never drink again!”

“Yes, good to know.”

“By the way, is your foot okay?”

Idiot! Really! Are all med students like this?

“It’s fine!”

Lu Xianzhi saw the typing indicator, speechless. “Really, it’s fine.”

Then there was no more activity from that side.

So embarrassing, wuhwaaaah! In this life, I’ve fallen into two pits because of Xu Qing.

“I’m going to be finished, good thing I’m not famous. If I were famous and ran into fans on the street recording, that’d be even worse!”

Lu Xianzhi now had no face to see Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn’t take a break either, arriving at the dean’s office. “Sorry, dean, I want to resign.”

“I already knew, it’s really been hard! Keep up the good work, you’re the most promising youngster I’ve got.”

Xu Qing: “Yes.”

The dean patted Xu Qing’s shoulder.

Xu Qing chatted a bit more with the dean then packed up and left.

“Eh? Did Dr. Xu leave? Was she fired? Impossible! Not even a job change is possible!”

“I don’t know either.”

Xu Qing: “Hey.”

“You quit, right?”

“Yes.”

“Tomorrow I’ll announce it and then it will begin.”

“Yes.”

Xu Qing had nothing to say to her father. He wanted to retire, but at 55, there were still five years left. Why such a hurry?

Was it because he wanted to go to Jiangnan to see his old friend faster? Yes, almost on the brink of death.

Xu Qing felt a bit moody, stepping onto the villa’s balcony to smoke, seemingly losing control again.

Living in a city in the north, unaware of how Jiangnan could make one so nostalgic, she didn’t want to go to Jiangnan because of her father.

In fact, isn’t there resentment? Does Father like that man so much? This might be our fate, that every other generation will have tx love.

She hadn’t escaped fate either, but, why not?

What she resented was that, even with someone he liked, why bother others?

Mother hadn’t stopped loving Father, just growing more and more disappointed. She had seen her mother with swollen eyes, crying in the early morning. Her mother should hate tx love.

Xu Qing didn’t know what to do, didn’t dare tell her mother she was the same, yet still moved for her.

Xu Qing knew she rarely had someone she liked, though it was very difficult. She didn’t know if her mother could accept it, as her mother was ultimately the only one in the world who truly loved her.

Looking at the face that resembled her father’s seven or eight parts, sometimes she loathed such a face, but Lu Xianzhi liked it, and her mother liked it too.

Perhaps her mother only resented her own father yet still loved him, very contradictory.

The complex emotions in Xu Qing’s eyes were about to seep out, her mind now very messy.

She thought she might need to calm herself for a bit, to see her own heart, as she currently couldn’t make sense of it.

——————–

Rest assured, rest assured, this won’t be angsty, it’s a sweet story, he.

Lu xian zhi oh

Ah, I really want to write something angsty, I’ll write something angsty next time! That’s the happy decision.
