Chapter 75: What is in his mind? (Part 1)
Lu Shu brought out his box as he went to sell his rotten tofu, leaving Lu Xiaoyu to wash the dishes. Lu Xiaoyu hummed as she washed the dishes, periodically looking into the potato chip bag on the table.
After he was done with the plate, he could have a bag of potato chips for himself while he was watching the drama. Thinking of such a scene had made him filled with the happiness of having such freedom!
On leaving the house, Li Xianyi again practiced her swordplay in the neighboring courtyard. This time, Lu Shu not only left but instead, stopped to watch.
"Hey grandfather, this swordplay of yours seems quite amazing," as Lu Shu greeted him.
Li Xianyi was surprised. Did this kid have such a high talent that he could see that his swordplay was of mysterious origin?
In reality, when Lu Shu was engulfed in heavenly light last night, she was still worried whether Li Xianyi would be able to sense it from her. However, from this, it seemed like he could not say it at all.
This thing was like a natural part of the original life and was no different from the strength and life force of an ordinary person.
Li Xianyi stopped and asked, "Do you want to learn it?"
Despite his great physical condition lately, he still had this sense of urgency.
Its foundation is already eroded and that is a fact that cannot be ignored. But instead of choosing to escape from him, Li Xianyi had decided to face reality.
Since everything had already progressed to this stage, he had to make plans for the future.
Lu Shu looked at him awkwardly and replied, "I want to learn from you but it looks like our timing doesn't match and it will be difficult."
Li Xianyi smiled and said, "Tell me your problem, I can help you resolve it."
In his mind, Lu Shu's biggest problem was his financial situation. Even as an orphan who had to grow up while supporting her little sister, she never gave up once how exhausting, miserable, and humiliating she felt.
Li Xianyi told the aunt that the reason she wanted to take Lu Shu as a disciple was because of her talent in abilities. However, that is only part of the reason. What he valued the most was Lu Shu's personality.
As long as Lu Shu would agree to his offer, he could then provide for them and hence, resolve all their difficulties.
Is money even a problem for him? With a wave of his hand, it could easily be achieved.
Lu Shu's eyes twinkled, "Really? Can you really solve my problem?"
Li Xianyi smirked, "Yes!"
"I'm not so sure about your academic aspect, Grandpa. How's it?"
"Nothing I don't know," as Li Xianyi proudly claimed.
"That's cool!" as Lu Shu's eyes shone, "So my problem is that I have to spend a lot of time watching Lu Xiaoyu's revision and I can't leave her side all night. If you could keep an eye on his studies in the morning, it would be great!"
Keep an eye on Lu Xiaoyu's studies ?!
So that's your problem ?! Are you not financially able? Compared to what he thought ... It's not exactly the same …
Have a Class B expert to babysit?
Li Xianyi, "???"
"From Li Xianyi's distress, +291!"
Is Class B strong? Sure was!
Right now, no one in this entire world had heard of someone reaching A class who could connect heaven and earth! But now, a Class B expert like Li Xianyi had to babysit!
Lu Shu had already thought about this question a long time ago and even though Lu Xiaoyu had the strength now, she couldn't possibly do it without education. The education that Lu Shu meant was not a diploma or a degree, but rather, a basic knowledge of oneself as he did not expect him to be lacking compared to the other children.
As of now, Lu Xiaoyu's household list was in an orphanage and she didn't have enough money to take it out, even so, certification was needed to get it out.
The best result right now was to have someone to help him look around at Lu Xiaoyu during the day or else he would be lazing around at home alone, quietly watching her drama!
He put down his chips and dashed out, only to see Lu Shu and Li Xianyi standing outside.
Lu Shu happily said to Lu Xiaoyu, "When I'm not home, all you do is watch your drama series. From now on, you'll go to Gramp's house that day and he'll keep an eye on your revision."
Lu Xiaoyu, who was ready to watch the series, looked as if she suddenly got a surprise, "??"
"From Lu Xiaoyu's distress, +666!"
Li Xianyi stood by the side looking at Lu Shu as she planned everything out in a moment. This kid ... He hasn't even agreed to anything yet.
Lu Shu turned around and said to Li Xianyi, "Sorry to trouble you grandfather. Please guide him along with his homework during the day and I will be able to focus on learning swordplay techniques from you at night!"
Ha ha . Li Xianyi felt uneasy at that moment.
You don't have to learn anything else, your plan is already working.
Li Xianyi deeply felt that she had just played in Lu Shu's hands.
It was not that Lu Shu was smarter than him, nor was he smarter than all the opponents he had faced before.
However, even with previous opponents, everyone played by the rules. But for Lu Shu, you won't know what's going on in his head!
"Lu Xiaoyu, if you disobey, I won't cook tomato eggs for you for half a year!" because Lu Shu threatened.
At that moment, Lu Xiaoyu's face slumped to the ground.
Lu Shu did not need to worry because both aunt and grandfather had been friends with them for a long time and although they had not interacted much with grandfather, auntie seemed like a good person.
Li Xianyi saw that Lu Xiaoyu could not help but laugh at the look on her face. Damn, did this little girl really think that this was her own idea?
Lu Shu went to sell his smelly tofus, leaving the two of them as they stood face to face with the fence between them. Aunty came out of the house with the intention to dry her clothes and when she witnessed the situation, she happily said, "Xiaoyu, come here, auntie has made sweet potatoes for you."
Lu Xiaoyu, who looked like he was useless, replied, "Is it red or white inside?"
The white in it is more watery and does not contain as much starch content as the red one. As such, it is not as sweet and the texture is not as good as the red ones in it despite having a higher cellulose content.
But he didn't really care about this and all he knew was that it was delicious or not. Lu Xiaoyu finally decided that the existence of the white sweet potato in it was against humanity. Can an unpleasant food even be considered a food ?!
"Red," when Aunt smiled. He had always liked Lu Xiaoyu.
When it came time for him to actually help Lu Xiaoyu with his homework in the afternoon, Li Xianyi finally knew that a lot of effort was needed to help take care of a child. In the mind of this little girl, nothing seemed to be completely normal!
Li Xianyi had even seriously reconsidered whether his choice to teach Lu Shu swordsmanship was the correct choice …
There was a table standing in the middle of the courtyard and it was completely filled with Lu Xiaoyu's textbooks and everything was handwritten from Lu Shu. On the front page of these books, someone had neatly written the two words 'Lu Shu' and the books were already filled with notes in them.
Zhi Wei had told aunt earlier that Lu Shu's results had been rather outstanding since she was younger.
Right now, it seems like this teenager has indeed exerted a great effort and soul into it and one can from this record.
They are written neatly in a straight line, perhaps even too straight, because stubbornness shows itself.
Li Xianyi accidentally opened the math textbook and noticed that at the bottom of the cover page, a strange sentence was written there, "To kill someone, one only needs a technique with a knife, and one needs to use a knife, but in the endless pursuit of knowledge, one must start from the bottom of his heart, then he will reach glory. "
This sentence was definitely not something that Lu Shu made up, but was this the kind of mentality that teenagers should have in high school age?
At that moment, was he deeply disturbed by his life?
Li Xianyi nonchalantly flipped through the book out of boredom and wanted to imagine the inner thoughts of the teenager through the notes he had written there. After flipping through to the end, he surprisingly found three small words written at the bottom of the last page.
'Keep living. '
In that split second, it was as if the stubborn expression on the teenager's face was right in front of him.
