Lu Qi took a look at it. “This is how you pronounce this word.”
Then, Lu Qi began to read it once.
After listening to it, Cheng Ling complained, “This word is really quite difficult. It actually has six syllables!”
It could even be compared to those specialized medical terms.
Lu Qi smiled. “Yes, it’s true. But you just need to read it a few more times. What else you don’t know? Let’s see if I can help.”
“Sure!”
With someone helping, Cheng Ling would definitely be more than happy.
Ding Yu’s face darkened. However, Lu Qi really read well, so he could only follow.
With Lu Qi’s help, in less than 15 minutes, they had learned all the words that they didn’t know.
“Is that enough?” Lu Qi straightened up.
Cheng Ling nodded and read the manuscript again.
“Yes, that’s enough.”
“Then let’s go now? Young Master Ding, do you want a ride?”
Ding Yu bit his lips. “No need. Someone from my family is picking me up.”
No matter what, he couldn’t take the car of his love rival. How embarrassing would that be!
“Okay, then Cheng Ling and I will go now.”
Cheng Ling packed her bag, turned around to say goodbye to Ding Yu, and then left without looking back.
Ding Yu looked at the two of them leaving side by side. Not only did he feel defeated, but also annoyed.
Ding Yu had always felt that although he had not confronted Lu Qi directly, or even revealed his identity as a love rival, he had already lost. Unknowingly, he had lost to Lu Qi in all aspects. Although he had felt this way before, he never wanted to admit it.
In fact, Cheng Ling didn’t seem to belong to his kind of people. Cheng Ling’s mysterious and cold personality made him unable to truly enter Cheng Ling’s heart, and Lu Qi seemed to have the same temperament as Cheng Ling.
Just this point alone was enough to make Ding Yu feel disheartened.
Originally, he had thought that he would have to work harder to get closer to Cheng Ling so that he could change. However, through today’s events, Ding Yu knew that the tacit and natural way of getting along between Cheng Ling and Lu Qi was something that he couldn’t achieve.
Cheng Ling’s attitude also showed that she did not have any thoughts about Ding Yu.
When Ding Yu put on his backpack and walked out of the classroom, he could no longer see Lu Qi’s car. He was a little annoyed and helpless as he grabbed a handful of his hair and answered the call from the driver.
In Lu Qi’s car, melodious music slowly sounded in the car. Accompanied by the dusk outside, it was particularly quiet at this moment.
The section of the road from the school was always a little congested, but Lu Qi seemed to be very patient and in a good mood.
He put one hand on the car window and the other on the steering wheel in a carefree manner. When he drove, he put on the pair of glasses again. The dusk light outside the window shone through the car window. His whole body was covered in a golden halo. He looked a little furry.
Cheng Ling had not been in a good mood for the past month. She seemed to be holding something in her heart. However, today, she was sitting quietly in the car with Lu Qi. The two of them did not speak, but Cheng Ling somehow felt much better.
Although the two of them did not speak, Cheng Ling’s stomach was growling. Coincidentally, it was during the interval of the music which was playing, so Lu Qi could hear it clearly.
Cheng Ling rubbed her stomach in embarrassment. She heard Lu Qi’s chuckle.
“What’s the matter? You’re hungry?”
Cheng Ling nodded. In the past month, she didn’t have much appetite when she ate. She ate very little, but she didn’t feel hungry. Today was the first time she had the urge to eat properly.
“Didn’t you say taking me out to eat? What do you want to eat?” Cheng Ling asked.
“How about hot pot? Do you like spicy food?”
“Sure! I like spicy food very much, but my grandmother can’t eat it. Thus to accommodate her, I rarely eat it.”
Lu Qi snapped his fingers. “Okay, then I’ll bring you for hot pot today.”
Cheng Ling nodded in agreement.
“But you can’t take spicy food with the medicine you’re taking now. So we will order a mandarin duck pot.”
Lu Qi frowned. In the end, he could only agree. After all, the doctor was sitting right next to him.
Lu Qi looked at Cheng Ling. She seemed to be in a good mood. While waiting at the red light, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Aren’t you curious why I’m looking for you?”
Cheng Ling turned to look at Lu Qi. “I’m curious. But if you want to tell me, naturally you’ll tell me. If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t be able to find out no matter how hard I ask.. I now know a little about the character of the second young master of the Lu family.”
