Chapter 105 Almost Drunk with Anger
Lu Yuanqing sat up straight, feeling that there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
"Teacher, what do you mean? I don't understand. You just said that Xiaoxi was dating three boys, but now you're saying she's not dating anyone. What's going on?"
A look of something unspeakable flashed across Yun Xiao's face. "Parent of Lu Mingxi, please don't get agitated."
"To be more precise, all three male classmates are pursuing Lu Mingxi!"
Oh!
It's just a pursuit!
Lu Yuanqing relaxed his body.
"It's just that Lu Mingxi's attitude is a bit problematic. She knows that someone is pursuing her, but she doesn't reject them. Instead, she... instead..."
Yun Xiao found it difficult to speak, as she had only been a teacher for a short time and had very little experience of the world.
She was a young woman who hadn't married yet, and there were some things she couldn't say.
Lu Yuanqing sat up straight again.
The teacher is a bit young!
I was actually a little shy when faced with such a question.
Has this person never been in a relationship?
Lu Yuanqing paused for a moment, then didn't press her further: "Teacher, do you mean that Xiaoxi, knowing that the other person was interested in her and pursuing her, neither accepted nor rejected him?" But a boy's feelings should be accepted.
Yun Xiao gave an awkward smile, "Mm!"
After witnessing three scenes of gift-giving, Yun Xiao first sought out Lu Mingxi for a talk.
At first, she thought it was a male classmate harassing Lu Mingxi, or that Lu Mingxi didn't know how to refuse other people's kindness.
However, when Lu Mingxi was asked about dating, he confidently stated that he didn't like any of the three men.
However, when the other party gave her a gift, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it and just accepted it.
Yun Xiao did not tell Lu Yuanqing the details.
In fact, what she saw was not unjust at all. The way Lu Mingxi smiled and leaned close to the boy to talk was now deeply imprinted in Yun Xiao's mind.
Simply saying "male classmates pursue female classmates and give them gifts to show their affection" is not quite accurate.
Lu Mingxi was also involved in that... thing!
However, Yun Xiao didn't dare tell Lu Yuanqing about this speculation.
After listening to Lu Yuanqing talk about his family problems, Yun Xiao knew that the Lu family was not doing well.
After all, Lu Yuanqing looks like he's only recently come of age, yet he's raised so many younger brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces. It's really impressive and not easy for him.
Under these circumstances, Lu Yuanqing still allowed his sister and niece to study. Yun Xiao was a little worried that if Lu Yuanqing knew this secret, he would change his mind.
Lu Mingxi is indeed prone to criticism in this respect, but this is likely largely due to family issues.
If her parents were alive, she wouldn't have anything to worry about.
But now that her closest relative is gone, and with only her third uncle to care for, she's not the only one who needs to be looked after. The child feels uneasy.
In this situation, she wanted to have everything in her hands.
Yunxiao read some basic psychology books during college, but she wasn't an expert and only had a general understanding.
"Parents of Lu Mingxi, please don't blame Lu Mingxi. As children grow older, their understanding of the differences between boys and girls becomes clearer. Many things they do are out of curiosity, and at this time, they need proper guidance!"
Lu Yuanqing's eyes widened.
guide?
How can a grown man guide a teenager's emotional issues?
He himself is a master single!
"As for Lu Mingxi's problem, she doesn't seem to realize that others are trying to get something from her kindness. She accepts gifts without a second thought and then completely forgets about them. Her parents need to talk to her about this!"
Yun Xiao also sighed. Fortunately, although Lu Yuanqing was a man, he seemed to be the kind of parent who could understand things.
Explain Lu Mingxi's current situation to him properly. With proper guidance, her views can still be changed.
She thought that if it were an unreasonable parent, she wouldn't have explained things so carefully today.
She knows all too well that parents nowadays use corporal punishment and don't have the patience to explain life lessons to their children.
Lu Yuanqing said gratefully, "Thank you for your concern for Xiaoxi, teacher. Xiaoxi was wrong today, and I will talk to her about it properly!"
Damn, what should he say?!
Yun Xiao smiled and said there was no need to thank her. "The teachers are all in class at this time, and no one will come to the office. I'll go out and call Lu Mingxi in, and you can have a good talk with her!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Lu Yuanqing said again.
As Yun Xiao left the office, she saw Lu Mingxi leaning against the wall, staring blankly into the distance.
"Lu Mingxi, your third uncle wants you to come in for a moment!"
Lu Mingxi snapped out of his daze and stared blankly at Yun Xiao for a long while before finally hearing what Yun Xiao said.
She whispered "Thank you, teacher," and then, with the air of someone heading to the guillotine, went into the office.
Yun Xiao was taken aback. Instead of going in, she walked a little further away, partly to keep watch and prevent anyone from suddenly coming and barging in.
If he hears something, it will be bad for Lu Mingxi's reputation!
The explosive news that morning left Lu Yuanqing unsure of how to react.
When Lu Mingxi came in, he still looked dazed.
"Uncle Three!"
After calling out to the person, Lu Mingxi lowered his head, as if he was ready to be criticized and lectured.
Lu Yuanqing raised his head slightly and gave a somewhat inappropriate twitch of his lips.
Why do I feel like laughing?
When will we ever see Lu Mingxi like this?!
At home, they always speak with their heads held high, but when they fight with the Gu family, they always rush to the front and naturally push things onto Lu Yuanhuan.
Who is this person now acting like they're wrong and begging for forgiveness?
Lu Yuanqing pursed his lips and blurted out, "Why are those three boys pursuing you instead of Cheng Xia?!"
"Huh?" Lu Mingxi suddenly looked up, blinking as she stared at Lu Yuanqing. Was she hallucinating?
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lu Yuanqing's face.
He was speaking too hastily and his mind didn't keep up.
"Haha, it's nothing!!" Lu Yuanqing laughed it off, resolutely refusing to admit that he had just made a foolish mistake.
Lu Mingxi was initially very nervous, but seeing him like this, she instantly stopped being nervous.
Instead of being nervous, she stared wide-eyed, her tone incredulous: "Third Uncle, what do you mean? Do you think that other people are blind to be interested in me? They should be interested in Xiaxia?"
It's unbelievable! We agreed that a son wouldn't despise his mother for being ugly, uh, oops, a dog wouldn't despise its home... uh, oops, oops, Uncle doesn't despise his niece for being ugly!
What does "my third uncle" mean?
Is it because you think she's not as pretty as Cheng Xia?
I'm heartbroken!
I'm so sad!
She's going to cause trouble!
It has to be said that Lu Yuanqing's brilliant remark instantly reversed the situation.
Lu Yuanqing was questioned and was speechless. Who should be questioning whom?
Besides, he just spoke offhand!
After all, Cheng Xia has a gentle personality, while Lu Mingxi has a strong personality.
Cheng Xia rarely works in the fields. She is fair-skinned and clean-cut. Isn't there a saying that fair skin can cover up a hundred flaws?
Of course, Lu Mingxi is definitely not ugly; her features are absolutely those of a beauty. But she works a lot and has gotten quite tanned.
When two people walk together, the one with the fairer complexion is more likely to be attracted to the other.
Look, in comparison, one is gentle in speech and action and good-looking, while the other is a girl who speaks like she's yelling, who is also pretty but a bit darker-skinned.
Most normal people would choose the former!
Lu Yuanqing clicked his tongue, feeling ashamed that he actually disliked his own child.
What?
It's obvious they're going to settle accounts!
As for Lu Mingxi's question, Lu Yuanqing immediately shook his head repeatedly.
"No, why would Third Uncle think that? It was a mistake, a mistake."
Lu Yuanqing glared at him. "Your teacher just told me about you."
Immediately, Lu Yuanqing became righteous and confident, while Lu Mingxi, like a deflated balloon, deflated again.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yuanqing didn't want to scold her, but simply said, "Xiao west, don't you want to study anymore?"
"miss you!"
Lu Mingxi said urgently.
She wants to study!
She was admitted to junior high school but couldn't attend. She was really envious of her friends who were able to study.
"If you want to study, what are you doing?" Lu Yuanqing asked. "Look at your aunt and Xiaodong. They both got first place in the exam, but you only got second. Did you put your mind to other things? That's why your grades aren't good!"
They're both kids who are academically gifted, so why can the other two always get first place while this one only gets second?
They've simply put all their energy into other things.
Lu Mingxi muttered, "Xia Xia is the top student in our class."
Lu Yuanqing choked.
He doesn't even know the situation!
"That's not the point right now. Tell me, why did you accept the gifts from those three boys?" Lu Yuanqing steered the conversation back to the main topic.
Lu Mingxi: "They gave it to me themselves!"
"Don't you know why they gave you these gifts?"
Lu Mingxi pouted: "How could I not know? You want to date me!"
Lu Yuanqing's eyes widened: "So you like...they???"
"How could that be? I don't like any of them!"
Lu Yuanqing froze: "If you don't like someone, why did you accept their gift?"
"They gave it to me on their own; I didn't ask for it."
Lu Yuanqing took a deep breath, and then another deep breath!
Lu Mingxi looked at him with concern, "Third Uncle, are you alright?"
Lu Yuanqing: "It's nothing, I'm almost angry to death!"
"Oh! Third Uncle, those four gave it to me of their own accord. It's not wrong for me to accept it since others offered it to me willingly!"
"What? Wasn't it supposed to be three? How come there are four?" Lu Yuanqing almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What a scumbag!
His niece is a scumbag!
Lu Mingxi said nonchalantly, "There are four in total!"
"Don't worry, Uncle, I want to study and I will study hard. I won't fall in love. You don't need to worry about me giving up my studies for someone else!"
Lu Yuanqing pinched his philtrum and said, "If you don't like someone, don't accept their gifts."
"Why not accept it?" Lu Mingxi repeated, "They offered it to me voluntarily, it wasn't something I asked for!"
Lu Yuanqing shook his head, feeling dizzy.
Why can't he get through to Lu Mingxi?
Although he is old, he considers himself to be very young at heart!
Why do I always feel like there's an immense generation gap when I talk to Lu Mingxi?
