Lu Xiaobu knew that at this mont, whether he threatened these people or reprimanded them, it would only make them politely comply on the surface.
For others, surface-level politeness might be enough, but for Xiaozhi, it wouldn’t work and would even make him feel more hypocritical and fearful!
So, Lu Xiaobu tore off his own shirt and stood there alongside Xiaozhi.
In an instant!
In just a mont!
The looks directed at Xiaozhi changed.
No longer ridicule, but envy!
No one was foolish enough to think that soone who could make Lu Xiaobu act this way could be an ordinary person.
Afterward, they all gave apologetic glances and slowly retreated from the scene.
However, at this mont, Xiaozhi no longer cared about them. He looked at the similarly shirtless man beside him and felt that his Treasure Pavilion was suddenly full!
This was not like the protective, steady stream of affection his sister gave him, but rather a massive, mighty feeling that he could hardly bear but that could shield him from anything!
Xiaozhi was fascinated, his hand still tightly holding Liang Lan’s hand.
Yet, his gaze was fixated on the man who, without saying a word, was stronger than a thousand words.
Watching him stand up, dress, and sit down, every little action was eagerly, almost greedily, noted and sent into his Treasure Pavilion!
His Treasure Pavilion was filled, brimming with everything about the two people most precious to him, everything!
"Alright, go buy your clothes now." Lu Xiaobu reached out and playfully slapped Xiaozhi.
"Okay!" Xiaozhi nodded imdiately!
In the database center of his mind, a massive monunt suddenly appeared, suppressing everything!
Written on it was a line: To achieve his dream is my dream!
Liang Lan noticed the change in Xiaozhi from the side.
Xiaozhi’s eyes had changed.
How to put it?
They beca more vivid, like a black-and-white photo turning into a colored one. Maybe there weren’t many emotions yet, but it was definitely not just black and white anymore!
She didn’t know what had happened, but as long as it looked like a good thing!
...
After buying clothes, the group didn’t take a car but instead walked along the road, discussing whether to buy so groceries to cook at ho or to find a restaurant for a al.
Cooking at ho would be more in line with everyone’s tastes, and the ingredients at Lu’s ho were much more abundant than those on the market!
However, cooking at ho would be a large task, and it might be hard to decide what to eat.
After all, everyone knows that at a restaurant, you can always find sothing you want to eat by choosing the best among the options.
But if you really open up to choices and imagination, you might not know what to eat!
However, joking and bantering with each other was actually quite fun, and it was not yet ti to decide what to eat specifically.
All along the way, Xiaozhi held Liang Lan’s hand without letting go, but his eyes were always sneaking glances at Lu Xiaobu.
Each ti Lu Xiaobu noticed, he would imdiately turn his head and look at the sky as if he hadn’t been looking.
It was amusing.
And at this mont, they happened to arrive near the largest square in Shin, and from afar they could see the center square of Shin bustling with noise and excitent.
"What’s going on?" Lu Xiaobu grinned: "Is there an event or sothing?"
"Young Master, it’s a math competition event, quite lively," Zhang ng replied.
Just as Lu Xiaobu showed interest in the square, Zhang ng had already asked people for information.
"A math competition? Let’s go take a look," Lu Xiaobu said with a smile.
The group imdiately changed their destination and headed towards the square.
Upon entering the central square, it was filled with various stalls.
There were food vendors and stalls with gas.
However, to fit the the, almost every stall had so math-related mini-gas.
If you won, there were certain rewards.
Many parents brought their children to participate.
Almost all the participants were children, with adults watching on purpose.
Well, actually, it’s because they don’t know how to do it themselves!
Most people had returned their school-taught knowledge to their teachers long ago, and rembering a bit was quite impressive.
So, rather than going up and embarrassing themselves as adults, it was better to let the kids who were still learning try it out. If they got it right, they’d be happy, and if not, they’d laugh it off.
Lu Xiaobu’s appearance surprised the crowd.
Each one of them expressed respect for Lu Xiaobu.
"Hello, Young Master Bu."
"Welco, Young Master Bu."
"Young Master Lu, you’re here too."
"Boss, you’re not here to recruit us, are you!"
"..."
Passersby greeted him, and the small vendors followed suit, along with a playful greeting from a Lu Group employee.
Lu Xiaobu’s reputation in Shin was second to none, unshakable.
So, no one didn’t know him.
Of course, they were also puzzled by Xiaozhi, who looked around twenty yet held onto Liang Lan’s hand without letting go.
After all, at that age, it’s not like they’re children anymore, so why still act like that?
And right in front of Lu Xiaobu?
But the confusion was fleeting. If Lu Xiaobu didn’t say anything, their overthinking would be making trouble for nothing.
Xiaozhi noticed these people’s emotions but didn’t react to them.
He no longer cared; these people were rely data combinations to him, and only the people around him mattered.
"Xiaobu, co, co, solve a problem," Little Pepper suddenly ran to a stall and said to Lu Xiaobu: "Aren’t you the top scorer in the college entrance exam? Co on, let’s see!"
Her words were filled with a teasing tone.
She was in the sa class as Lu Xiaobu back then. Wouldn’t she know Lu Xiaobu’s level?
So, she never believed that Lu Xiaobu got the top score in the college entrance exam on his own. Now, with such a chance, she wanted to give Lu Xiaobu a hard ti, haha!
The people around perked up upon hearing this and looked at Lu Xiaobu.
"That’s right, I nearly forgot, Young Master Bu was the top scorer in the college entrance exam!"
"Yeah, I forgot about that part!"
"What can you do, Young Master Lu has so many halos on him, the halo of being the top scorer looks trivial!"
"Young Master Bu, show us sothing! Impress us!"
"Yes! Hahaha!"
"..."
The crowd laughed, not intending to mock, but just genuinely wanting to see him perform.
After all, no matter how down-to-earth Lu Xiaobu was, the chances to see him were few and far between.
Being able to engage with him up close felt like a rare opportunity they didn’t want to waste.
Only Lu Xiaobu grimaced—Little Pepper, you cheeky girl! Just wait till tonight!
