After returning to the rented apartnt from the United South Chinese dicine Association, Lu Xuan casually grabbed sothing to eat downstairs.
Back at the apartnt, Lu Xuan didn't imdiately prepare the application materials for the Chinese dical Science and Technology Award. The stuff is all in his head anyway; typing it out won't take long.
Instead, he chose to pack his things. He'd already packed a batch on Friday night, so tonight he'll pack another batch, and tomorrow he can just call a truck to co over.
However, after packing his things, Lu Xuan still sent a location to Ji Xiuwen, telling him to drink less tonight and co over early to help him move the next day.
Free labor shouldn't be wasted.
Ji Xiuwen's response speed was quite fast. Lu Xuan had just sent the ssage when he imdiately replied.
"Got it, godfather."
"How about I squeeze over to your place tonight? It'll save ti, and I can help you tidy up in the evening."
Lu Xuan sternly rejected Ji Xiuwen's suggestion to squeeze over: "No need. By the ti you finish dinner and leave the KTV, I'd be asleep already."
"That's true. Alright then, I'll head over in the morning."
"By the way, hasn't Gu Huahua contacted you?"
"Old Cai seed to invite him to bring you along. Everyone's waiting for you here, the food hasn't even been served yet, and I'm starving."
Lu Xuan thought for a mont and replied, "He did, but I had sothing to do and ca back."
"Damn, you should've said so earlier. This group won't start serving the food until you arrive. Why is the difference between people so vast? Now everyone knows about your situation, but you have no idea. Sigh, everyone's going crazy for a chance to get in your good graces now."
"This gathering opportunity was hard to co by, so of course, they'd wait for you to join."
"Who would've thought you'd stand everyone up? I kind of guessed you wouldn't co, but I didn't expect everyone else would be willing to wait for you with empty stomachs."
"If I go, the whole aning of the gathering changes."
"That's true.'
Ji Xiuwen rapidly typed, glancing up at Mi Nannan, who was not far and playing on his phone: "And, let tell you sothing, Mi Nannan ca, and he ca specifically for you. He was very enthusiastic, always asking about you, but after hearing what Gu Huahua said in the group chat, he suddenly seed like a different person.
I think, maybe you've beco so exceptional that he doesn't dare to get close?
If that's the case, tsk tsk, that's interesting. The once proud beauty who wouldn't give others a second glance is now too intimidated by your excellence to approach. That's sothing I didn't expect.
Still, you're lucky with won. First, there's Su Kenan, the greatest beauty of Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese dicine, and now there's Mi Nannan. It seems outstanding people really do attract beauties willing to throw themselves at them."
"Worrying about unnecessary things, you'd be better off spending ti thinking about what you learned this week, so you're not clueless next ti you encounter the sa condition."
"Damn, that's a low blow, godfather, you've crossed the line a bit."
"Co over early tomorrow."
Lu Xuan couldn't be bothered with him, casually tossed his phone aside, went to the simple desk, and opened his laptop, starting to prepare the application materials for the Chinese dical Science and Technology Award.
...
On the other side.
Ji Xiuwen had just finished chatting with Lu Xuan when Gu Huahua burst in, panting, obviously having run over.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
Gu Huahua took a deep breath and looked apologetically at everyone.
As soon as he entered, he drew everyone's attention.
Cai Huanjin and the others rose, looking toward the door, disappointed not to see Lu Xuan.
"Gu Huahua, didn't Lu Xuan co?"
Cai Huanjin couldn't help but ask.
Gu Huahua's eyes clearly showed a hint of disappointnt. Originally, he should have been the protagonist today, but with Lu Xuan's sudden prominence, he too beca a small, transparent figure, just like everyone else.
Everyone's focus was on Lu Xuan.
Even though Lu Xuan didn't co.
Gu Huahua instinctively glanced at the round table; besides the cold dishes, none of the hot dishes had been served, obviously waiting for Lu Xuan.
And he was just an incidental.
If they hadn't thought there was a slight chance Lu Xuan might co, they clearly wouldn't have gone hungry waiting for him.
Although he felt it was normal, Gu Huahua still felt a bit down.
Especially Cai Huanjin, who before learning about Lu Xuan's achievents, was the most enthusiastic toward him in the group. Now, the enthusiasm had cooled dramatically.
However, Gu Huahua didn't dwell on it, as he was the one who told the group about Lu Xuan's story, knowing that once everyone found out about Lu Xuan, their attention would likely turn to him.
"He didn't co."
Gu Huahua shook his head and sighed, "Lu Xuan said he had sothing to do tonight and couldn't make it, but he promised to treat everyone to a al next ti."
"He didn't co..."
Even though he had guessed that Lu Xuan wouldn't co, Cai Huanjin couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. He really hoped Lu Xuan would co, not to suck up to him, but to take this opportunity to build a good relationship, as he might need to ask for a favor in the future.
But now, with Lu Xuan not coming, such a good opportunity was missed.
As for next ti, who knows when that will be?
Inviting Lu Xuan to a private al would be too obvious.
