With the support of the Zhenyuan General and the others, Lu Huan's situation in court was not difficult. On the contrary, his power gradually rose, and he gradually became a new power apart from the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince.

Before he went to Chengzhou, there were already many retainers who wanted to enter his manor. After he made a great contribution to Chengzhou and pleased the Emperor in the Throne Room, the number of officials who came to visit him every day broke the threshold.

These people sent all kinds of gifts. It was fine to send cloud and mist needles, golden eagle corals, and jewelry, but there were even craftsmen who wanted to help him remodel the Princes' manor. Lu Huan liked peace and quiet, so he did not like large groups of people moving fake mountains into his manor every day. Thus, he kept all of these people at the door.

The Emperor was happy to see this happen. In the Yan Dynasty, there was no law that required the eldest son to inherit the throne. It had always been the most capable. The appearance of a new Ninth Prince aroused the fighting spirit of the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince, which was not necessarily a bad thing. At least, it would allow the Crown Prince to focus more on court affairs and not think that he could easily rule the world just by being mediocre.

After Lu Huan conveyed his birth characters to The Emperor through the Minister of War, the Empress was given the cold shoulder by The Emperor. She knew that if she tried to arrange for people by Lu Huan's side through the consort selection, it would probably anger the Emperor. Thus, she could only give up for now.

After Lu Huan regained his status as the Ninth Princes, there were many officials in the capital who came to discuss marriage. However, after the Empress and the Crown Prince did not make a move, these people who had broken through the threshold of the Ninth Princes' manor gradually disappeared.

Lu Huan could finally have some peace and quiet in his manor.

Using this opportunity, he took care of a lot of government affairs and also took the time to receive new missions from the system.

Recently, there had been a few robberies and robberies caused by bandits causing trouble in the capital.

If these had happened in the provinces, they would have been normal civil cases. However, because it happened right under the Emperor's nose and the Empress Dowager had almost fainted a few days ago when she went to pay her respects to Buddha, the Emperor ordered all of the officials to quickly take care of the matter.

Arresting a few bandits and sending them to prison was a very simple matter. The capital governor only needed to send a few people to do it.

However, if he wanted to solve the problem at its root, he would have to thoroughly investigate the capital's major gambling houses and brothels, as well as the outer city's eastern and western markets where Hu merchants frequented. The management of these places was chaotic, and most of the bandits who frequently caused trouble were hiding in these places.

However, even if they thoroughly investigated these places, they wouldn't be able to tell who was a normal citizen and who was a criminal before the bandits started causing trouble.

After a while, the Ministry of Justice and the Capital Magistrate could not come to a decision and quarreled in the throne room.

In just two days, there were two more murders in the capital.

Mission 17 issued by the system was related to this. [Please accept Mission 17: The frequent murders in the capital have caused panic among the citizens. Please think of a way to reduce the crime rate as soon as possible and push this to the various provinces! Reward: Gold Coins + 3,000, Reward Points + 15.]

After Lu Huan accepted this mission, he didn't act rashly. First, he had his subordinates go to the Supreme Court to retrieve the files of the criminals who had committed murders and been sent to prison. He wanted to see what the reason was.

Recently, the Fifth Prince had the intention of fighting with him. On the surface, the Emperor had handed this matter to the Fifth Prince, so he couldn't openly investigate the case. Thus, he had his subordinates go to the Minister of War's residence and take a detour to obtain the files.

When the files were presented, Lu Huan spent the entire night flipping through them and had a rough idea of what was going on.

Before daybreak, he had someone send the files back. At the same time, he gave some orders to his subordinates.

Su Xi turned on his phone and saw that he was handling government affairs. He knew that he was probably investigating Mission 17.

Su Xi was lazy and didn't plan on participating. In any case, no matter what happened, he would handle it well. In the past, Su Xi was very nervous about everything and had to help out because of his motherly mentality. He always felt worried about Zaizai and was afraid that he would get hurt. However, after the battle in the north, Su Xi realized that he didn't need him for these things anymore.

Especially now that they were in the capital. Even if the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince didn't like Zaizai, they couldn't assassinate him right under the Emperor's nose. In terms of scheming, how could they win against Zaizai? It was hard to say who would kill who. Thus, Su Xi didn't have the chance to worry.

When she was in the north, she was sad and depressed because of this and felt that Zaizai didn't need her anymore. However, now Su Xi had successfully adjusted her mentality from being a mother fan to a girlfriend fan. Wasn't it good that her boyfriend was capable and responsible and didn't need her to worry?! Wasn't it good to lick his face more?!

In fact, Su Xi was very happy to watch palace and political dramas, but when she really got involved, she was dumbfounded and her brain wasn't enough. So anyway, the other half of her family was smart, and her other half was just a salted fish lying down.

Lu Huan's matters still needed to wait. He didn't need to go to court every day. Thus, during the day, after he finished dealing with government affairs in the morning, he got off work and told the guards outside not to let anyone in. He planned to take a nap, but as soon as he turned around, he came to Su Xi's side.

Su Xi's parents weren't at home. Su Xi was quietly opening a package in her room. When she saw Lu Huan, her eyes lit up and she said mysteriously to him, "Come, help me open the package."

Lu Huan lifted his robe and squatted down beside her. He turned a box in front of him and looked at the shipping address. The shipping address was two provinces away, which was almost a few thousand kilometers away from Su Xi's house. He couldn't help but sigh, "I bought it the day before yesterday and it arrived today. It's so fast."

Su Xi put down the scissors in her hand and looked at him, "Lu Huan, how did you know I bought it the day before yesterday? You peeked at me again! "

This was the bad thing about a two-way video. They could see each other anytime and anywhere.

When Su Xi found out that Lu Huan could see her as soon as he opened the curtain, her cheeks burned. She insisted on washing her hair for several days. Every day, she sat on the sofa obediently and tried her best to be a delicate girl.

However, she couldn't hold on for four days … It was too damn tiring to maintain her image … She returned to her lazy self of lying on the sofa and eating potato chips.

For this reason, she forced Lu Huan not to open the curtain and look at her whenever he wanted. If he wanted to look, he had to tell her in advance. At the very least, he had to let her rush into the bathroom and put some makeup on her face!

Lu Huan didn't expect that he would accidentally let it slip. He was suddenly speechless.

Su Xi was so angry that she curled up into a ball, "And it was during court!"

She bought clothes for Lu Huan and wanted to give him a surprise. She didn't want him to see her through the curtain, so she specifically picked a time when it was impossible for him to open the curtain during court.

Lu Huan tore open the package in front of him with his bare hands. He looked up and said with some grievance, "The court officials are quarreling in the throne room. It's really a headache."

It was so noisy that his head was buzzing. He just wanted to open the curtain and see what she was doing for some peace and quiet.

Su Xi threw the package aside and took out more than a dozen clothes inside. She said with annoyance, "But this way, I can't give you a surprise at all."

Lu Huan saw her take out the clothes and his eyes suddenly widened in surprise. He revealed a happy expression and asked in surprise, "Xiao Xi, did you buy these for me?!"

Su Xi, "…"

Su Xi was amused by his deliberately bright eyes. She punched him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, stop pretending."

Lu Huan saw her smile and laughed as well.

He saw Su Xi squatting on the ground and couldn't help but pull her up, saying, "Sit on the bed. Be careful of your legs."

Su Xi wouldn't have felt it if he didn't say it. As soon as she stood up, she felt that her legs were indeed numb. She sat down on the bed, but the more she sat down, the more her legs seemed to be covered with pockmarks from her toes to her knees. Su Xi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Are they really numb?" Lu Huan helped her stand up and let her walk a few steps. After she recovered a little, he let her sit down on the bed. Taking advantage of the situation, he squatted down in front of her. His left hand pressed on her ankle, his right hand took off her slippers, and he gently rubbed the Yongquan acupoint on her foot.

Su Xi was a little embarrassed, but he didn't use too much strength. It was very comfortable to be pressed, as if it could even relieve her many years of dysmenorrhea. She couldn't help but turn her face away.

After a while, Su Xi pulled her leg out and said to him, "Quickly try it."

Lu Huan turned his head and looked at the clothes on the ground. He was moved and turned back to ask her, "So you measured my size that day for this."

"Why else?" Su Xi said with a smile.

Lu Huan was still squatting in front of her. "When I was still in Prince Ning Fu, I suddenly saw a row of cloaks in the shabby wardrobe one day. At that time, I wondered who was secretly helping me. At that time, I couldn't imagine that it was someone from another world, and I couldn't imagine your appearance. "

When he said this, Su Xi's gaze couldn't help but fall on a small part of his collarbone that was exposed by his lapel. There was a shallow whip scar there. Su Xi said with a smile, "Nonsense. Do you think I didn't know what you were thinking at that time? You were obviously very vigilant and thought that the person who sent you those things was a big bad guy."

Lu Huan heard her words and smiled.

Su Xi saw his beautiful smile and her heart rippled, but at the same time, she felt a little sad. She opened her arms and said to Lu Huan, "Give me a hug."

Su Xi was so excited that Lu Huan didn't react. His ears suddenly turned red. "Why do you suddenly want a hug?"

Su Xi flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Hurry up. Do you want a hug or not? If you don't want a hug, then forget it."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Huan suddenly stood up and bent down to hug her. Su Xi sat on the bed and was pressed back slightly by him. Her waist was a little uncomfortable and she let out a soft groan.

Lu Huan could feel it, so he turned over and sat down on the edge of the bed. He grabbed Su Xi's waist and easily put her on his lap.

He hugged Su Xi tightly and buried his head in her neck.

Su Xi felt the beating of a heart in the chest of the youth who was close to her. She felt his happiness and comfort. It had nothing to do with any desire. He was simply hugging his one and only. Su Xi put her hand on Lu Huan's neck and said, "It's all in the past."

Lu Huan shook his head and said, "You don't have to comfort me. I don't think that time was bitter."

Su Xi asked, "Why?"

Lu Huan said, "I only suffered some physical pain in the first fourteen years. And now I almost can't remember what happened. I feel like my life started when there was suddenly more water in my teapot on a snowy night. After that, my happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy began to become clear. As for before … before, how many servants Prince Ning Fu had and what they looked like, I didn't pay attention to them at all. But, if it was possible, the curtain would have appeared in front of me earlier. "

Su Xi was puzzled. She raised her head from Lu Huan's chest and looked at him.

Lu Huan also raised his head and looked down at her. He smiled and said, "I want to help you run the 800 meters a few more times and secretly put some pocket money in your pocket."

"Pocket money?!" Su Xi's eyes suddenly lit up. "You have to keep your word! I spent a lot of money buying clothes for you. I'm almost broke. "

Lu Huan reached into his bosom and fished around. Suddenly, he fished out a card from the Construction Bank and handed it to her.

Su Xi was confused.

Lu Huan said, "I have an ID card and opened an account. This is a bank card. There should be …"

Lu Huan asked someone to help him resell some silver taels and gemstones of unknown age. The money was all transferred into the card. He didn't remember how many digits there were, but it should be more than six digits.

He said, "There should be some money. The password is your birthday. You can go take a look another day."

Su Xi suddenly jumped up from his chest, her eyes filled with excitement. That's right. Why didn't she think that Lu Huan could casually bring something from ancient times and sell it for a lot of money? The game system was his biological father. Why was he able to transmigrate for two hundred points while she had to wait for three hundred points to go over?!

"Buy a phone!" Su Xi dragged Lu Huan out and said excitedly, "Let's buy a phone when we have money. I'll teach you more functions first. Don't learn from Huo Jingchuan. I'm afraid he'll teach you bad things."

Lu Huan smiled and said helplessly, "Change your clothes first."

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Xi was already dizzy from the unexpected windfall.

She held the card happily and said, "Change quickly. I'll turn around!"

"Which one do you want to wear?" Lu Huan looked at the pile of unopened clothes on the floor. These short-sleeved sweaters looked about the same in his eyes, and he couldn't tell the style of the clothes.

"The temperature seems to be lower today …" Su Xi turned around and picked out a black skeleton knight sweater, a pair of light-colored pants, and a pair of white sneakers for him. She handed them to him excitedly, then closed the door and went out. Su Xi was a little excited. It was her favorite part again, the part where she watched her boyfriend cross-dress.

After a while, the door opened.

Lu Huan tidied up the pile of parcels on the floor and put them at the foot of the bed. Then he compressed the package into a pile and walked out with it.

"You're done?" Su Xi looked at him with shining eyes.

His black hair was like a waterfall. It was too long, and he couldn't cut it short at this time. After all, he still had to go back to the Yan Dynasty to deal with government affairs. So he could only take a cap from the parcel and put it on. Fortunately, his nose bridge was high and straight, and his handsome face made it impossible for people to mistake his gender.

It was the first time Su Xi saw Lu Huan dressed like this. He was 1.85 meters tall and wore an oversized sweater with clean white sneakers. He had broad shoulders and long legs, and he looked like a young idol walking in an airport fashion show. No matter where he stood in the crowd, he would definitely stand out.

"What's wrong?" Lu Huan saw that Su Xi couldn't take her eyes off him and was a little embarrassed. He wasn't used to the attire of this dynasty, especially the two big shiny skulls on his chest. He didn't know what kind of aesthetic aesthetic it was, but it was Su Xi who bought it, so he couldn't show any prejudice.

"So handsome." Su Xi's eyes lit up.

Lu Huan knew that half of the reason she liked him was probably because of his face, so he was naturally willing to show his face in front of her.

But he didn't like being stared at by people outside, so he frowned slightly and considered whether he should go out and buy a mask.

However, before he could ask, he saw Su Xi suddenly running into his arms excitedly and throwing herself into his arms.

"Wuwuwu, you're so handsome. I like you so much." Su Xi hugged his waist and didn't let go, rubbing her head in his arms.

Lu Huan: "…"

He had completely forgotten what he wanted to say just now.

Unlike Lu Huan's Yan Dynasty, where they could go to a rouge shop, watch flower shows, and play river lanterns on dates, modern couples' dates were nothing more than eating, watching movies, and watching KTV. It was extremely boring.

Usually, when her classmates asked Su Xi out to do these things, Su Xi was not interested. She felt that it was better to stay at home and sleep in. But now she knew that it was not that these things were too boring, but that the people who played together were too common. It was like eating white rice every day. It was fine if they got along with each other every day in school, but how could they be interested in meeting each other during the holidays?

But doing something with the person she liked was a completely different feeling.

Su Xi pulled Lu Huan to the mall. In front of the escalator, the two stopped.

Although Lu Zhuan had spent half a year studying modern civilization, he didn't have enough time. He had only scanned the things in the building in a hurry. He hadn't carefully studied the escalator that could carry people up slowly.

He could not help but step on it with one foot. After a few seconds, his other foot also stepped on it.

He raised his eyebrows and was interested in the kinetic energy of the escalator.

Su Xi just looked at him and felt that he was cute. She felt that he was watching with great interest.

How could she be bored? She only hated that there was not enough time. He had to go back to work in the Yan Dynasty and could not go to school with her.

Probably because it was a workday, there were not many people in the mall. But wherever the two passed, the receptionist and customers could not help but look at Lu Huan and Su Xi. They only felt that the two of them were like cranes in a flock of chickens. The boy was tall and handsome, and the girl was white and cute. They attracted a lot of attention when they stood together. Although the boy's long hair under his cap was a bit out of place, for some reason, the girl stood beside him with her eyes curved, which miraculously neutralized this sense of abruptness.

The escalator went up. Su Xi and Lu Huan walked side by side to a tea shop.

Su Xi wanted to let Lu Huan, who came from ancient times, have a taste of her modern delicacies. The first major feature was, of course, all kinds of delicious milk tea.

The people walking in front of them looked like a couple from school. The two of them were much more clingy, and they were even wearing matching hoodies. Lu Huan raised his hand and pressed down the brim of his hat. He stared at the two people's clothes for a while, then glanced at Su Xi. His eyes flashed with doubt. There was actually such a thing?

After all, in the Yan Dynasty, there was a clear distinction between men and women. There had never been a case where men and women wore the same clothes.

Su Xi was amused by his curious eyes and couldn't help but lean closer to him. Then, she turned her head and pretended as if nothing had happened … and hugged his arm.

After confirming their relationship, holding hands and hugging should have been a very natural thing. However, both of them were inexperienced newbies, so when they did it for the first time, everything seemed to be in slow motion.

At this moment, the smells in the air, the shops they passed by, and the clothes they wore all became vivid memories.

"…" Lu Huan moved his hands and feet at the same time, then tried to walk normally again.

His heart thumped non-stop in his chest and eardrums. Just now at home, Su Xi suddenly threw herself at him and hugged him. It was just a hug, but he had already spent a lot of time calming down. Now, Su Xi was holding his arm with both hands like a koala holding a bamboo stick. Maybe, probably — it should be for a long time?

Lu Huan's slender fingers hung by his side. He squeezed them nervously. Tremors and joy reached the top of his head along with his blood, like an electric current.

He coughed and tried to make himself more natural.

It was just that his four limbs, which were usually very balanced and could ride a horse and lead troops, and could pull a longbow, were a little out of place. He couldn't walk very smoothly.

And … the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Su Xi was also a little nervous. After all, they were in public. But because of His Highness Ninth Prince, who was beside her, there was too much red tape. He clearly wanted to be closer to her. He wanted to go crazy, but he kept holding back. If she didn't take the initiative, when would she be able to shake hands like other couples?

She had no experience, but even if she was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, she had to pretend that she was very skilled.

So she hugged Lu Huan's arm even tighter.

Lu Huan's arm hurt a little from being pinched, but his dark eyes were very bright, and his heart was as bright as the sun.

The two of them had a tacit understanding. Their ears were red, and they tried to pretend that it was very natural as they walked into the milk tea shop.

Su Xi pointed to a few signature drinks, corresponding them to the pictures, and introduced them to Lu Huan, "This is a pearl, this is a coconut, and this is a milk cap. They are all things that can be added to milk tea. Milk tea is not exactly milk plus tea. In short, you can understand it as a drink with a special seasoning technique. What do you want to drink? There are many pictures on the menu. Take a look. "

Lu Huan looked at her, "What do you want to drink?"

Su Xi said without hesitation, "Domineering Cheese Strawberry." This was the only drink that she would never get tired of.

Lu Huan turned to the waiter and said, "Two cups of Domineering Cheese Strawberry. One cup is low sugar and no ice, and the other is whatever you want. Thank you."

Su Xi couldn't help but laugh. He had been in this world for so long that he had even learned how to order milk tea.

The two waiter were both boys. They looked up at him and were a little surprised by his height of about 1.85 meters — in fact, this height wasn't considered abrupt. After all, in modern times, there were a lot of tall boys with good nutrition.

But maybe it was because the boy in a black sweater and a cap outside the counter had a particularly straight back. He had an indescribable temperament that made people feel that he was exceptionally tall. And although his expression was gentle and his eyes were smiling, when he stood there, there was an invisible sense of oppression.

The two waiter handed the receipt to Su Xi. Before she could react, Lu Huan pulled Su Xi to a corner and sat down.

Because there weren't many people, two cups of Domineering Cheese Strawberry were ready very quickly.

Lu Huan went to get it.

"This is a straw," Su Xi taught him patiently.

Even if Lu Huan hadn't seen these details before, he could still understand it when he saw it for the first time. With his slender, white, and well-defined fingers, he took off the white paper cover of the straw in front of Su Xi and neatly inserted it into the cup of low-sugar and ice-free Domineering Cheese Strawberry drink. He then handed it to her and sighed, "Technology changes life."

Su Xi lazily rested her chin on her hand and looked at him. "Ah."

Lu Huan handed it to her mouth.

Su Xi took a sip and his eyes curved into crescents.

Although Su Xi was the one who was well served, Lu Huan looked even happier than her. He was in high spirits, as if he couldn't wait to rush to the counter, buy another thousand cups, and put the straw in her cup one by one.

"Drink it quickly." Su Xi took her cup and egged him on.

Only then did Lu Huan take a bite.

Su Xi looked at him expectantly and asked, "How is it?"

"It's my first time tasting it. It's a little sweet and not fruity." Lu Huan commented, "But I like it very much."

Su Xi said happily, "I don't think you can drink anymore. I'll take you to try something else next time. Also, we have a lot of delicious food and drinks here. There's also hot pot, barbecue, sushi, and buffet. You haven't eaten any of them, right? You can try them one by one."

These were all novel things for Lu Huan, but he had never had much desire for delicious food, so when he heard these things, his expression remained the same. He just liked to do things with Su Xi, no matter what they were doing.

Su Xi herself was a little greedy. She looked at Lu Huan looking at her with a bright smile and wiped the corners of her mouth a little embarrassedly.

Su Xi used to snort when she heard people say that they would feel happy no matter what small things they did when they were in a relationship. But now she realized that it was true.

Going to the mall to buy a cup of milk tea and sit down to drink was originally a very common thing, but because she was doing this with Lu Huan, no matter how ordinary it was, it made her feel very happy.

It was as if a reckless cat had taken up residence in her heart. When she looked at Lu Huan, she would use her tail to scratch her heart, making her heart itch. At other times, she would lie lazily in a puddle, making her feel satisfied every minute and every second.

After drinking the milk tea, they originally planned to watch a movie, but Su Xi saw that there weren't any good movies being released today, so she canceled this plan. Anyway, when a good movie was released, she could still drag Lu Huan over from that world.

So the two strolled back.

Along the way, Su Xi could introduce various city buildings, art galleries, handicraft shops, sidewalks, traffic lights, and so on to Lu Huan.

Last time, Lu Huan came in a hurry and wasn't sure about the mechanism of transmigration, so Su Xi was in no mood to stroll around. But now that everything was settled and she knew that he could come to her world at any time, she became relaxed.

Lu Huan was the same. Although he still didn't fit in with this world and didn't know many love skills, when he saw the car flying past, he subconsciously walked to the side closest to the car, protecting Su Xi on the inside.

When they arrived at a place with green belts, he took Su Xi to walk inside.

These were things that he had learned on his own.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the sky was blue and cloudless, and the weather was cool and not hot. It was just right, but it was easy to feel tired after walking for a while.

Lu Huan couldn't help but stop and turn to look at Su Xi. Su Xi took a sip of the unfinished strawberry milk tea and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There's still some distance from home. Do you want me to carry you?" Although it was a question, Lu Huan's ears were slightly red, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

He had wanted to do this for a long time. When Su Xi asked him to do push-ups in the other world, he already wanted to do it.

Later, he found out that he had never carried Su Xi on his back before. At that time, it was only one of Su Xi's fingers that was pressing on his back. In Su Xi's eyes, he was still a dwarf with short arms and legs …

Just thinking about it made Lu Huan feel a little exhausted.

He tried his best not to think about these embarrassing things. Before Su Xi could react, he hugged her waist and lifted her up to put her on the steps of the green belt. Then, he turned around and squatted down in front of her, maintaining a calm and composed horse stance.

Lu Huan insisted on carrying her, so she'd rather obey than decline respectfully.

Su Xi giggled and jumped onto his back. "Catch me!"

She jumped on. Her weight wasn't light, but Lu Huan's lower body was very stable. He didn't even sway. He held her knees with both hands and carried her steadily on his back.

Then, the young man strode forward as if he was flying. As if to prove something, he walked very quickly and steadily.

Su Xi held the drink and his hat. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck. His neck stiffened, and his breathing stopped for a second. Then, as if he had reached a goal, he slowed down slightly.

Su Xi lay on his back and laughed out loud.

He didn't succeed in showing off "speed, strength, and movement" during the push-ups. He definitely had to find a way to show off back. It was the familiar arrogant boy formula.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Huan's ears couldn't help but turn red when he heard Su Xi's laughter.

Could it be that she found out that he had learned this trick from the soap operas she watched? He saw those men riding motorcycles so fast that the women behind them could hug their waists. He remembered it in his heart.

Su Xi hugged his neck and used her free hand to pinch his red ears. She laughed and said, "Nothing, I just think you're cute."

Lu Huan wasn't happy. "How can a nine-foot-tall man be described as' cute '?"

It was better to describe him as' handsome 'like before. The word' cute 'was too effeminate. He didn't like to hear it.

"It's good enough that I'm praising you. Why are you still being so picky?" Su Xi smiled and said, "Didn't you just learn how to use Baidu? Go to Baidu. If a girl describes a boy as cute, what does it mean?"

Lu Huan held Su Xi's legs with one hand and freed his other hand. He took out the new phone he just bought and Baidu blankly.

He learned very quickly. It was his first time using a phone, so it was very difficult to type. But now, his typing speed could compete with middle-aged and old people. After he practiced, he should be able to become as fast as Huo Jingchuan and the others.

He clumsily pressed the phone and checked.

He saw that Baidu said:

"Describing a person as cute usually means that you like that person very, very much. You like that person to the extreme."

When Lu Huan saw this line of words, his heart rumbled. He was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

He blushed and was excited. He thought for a while and slowed down his footsteps.

In the end, he stood in place and turned his head slightly. He said to Su Xi behind him in a very serious tone, "But I think you're the cutest."

Su Xi thought that after the deer in her heart bumped for many days, she had already practiced the Iron Head Technique. But she was caught off guard when she saw his dark and gentle eyes. Lying on his shoulder, she felt his ear brush against her cheek …

The deer in her heart was still very heavy. Bang, bang, bang. Her face was bleeding.

At this moment, Su Xi thought in her heart, "God, I want to kiss him."

After Lu Huan finished looking through the recent robberies and fights in the capital, he felt that there was something strange about these cases.

If he really looked at the people that the Supreme Court had already arrested, these cases shouldn't have anything in common. It was just a few rioters suddenly causing trouble at different places at different times. Who could predict where it would happen next? If there was any countermeasure, it could only be to remind the people to pay attention to their own safety.

It seemed like there was no connection, but there was one detail that caught Lu Huan's attention. According to the records of the Supreme Court, the people in two of the cases were poor and destitute, but the location of the crime was in the inner city's West Market.

There were two large markets in the capital, the East Market and the West Market.

Because the West Market had a river that transported water, it had a lot of trade with Hu merchants. Over time, almost all of the items sold in the West Market were rare and strange beasts, gold, silver, and precious weapons. Only the people in the Imperial Palace and high officials and nobles could afford to buy them.

The East Market was connected by a heavenly street. It was the place where the people of the city would buy, trade, hold lantern festivals, and gather.

The land in the West Market was also expensive. Only the residences of important court officials could be located there. Previously, Lu Huan was in Prince Ning Fu's residence. Because Prince Ning Fu had declined, his residence was located in a more remote area in the East Market.

In other words, most of the ordinary people bought good things at cheap prices in the outer city. Even if they had some money on hand and could be considered half a rich person in the capital, they would at most go to the East Market to buy some supplies. After all, most of the people coming and going in the West Market were the children of noble officials. If they accidentally bumped into them, they would lose their lives.

Thus, these two criminals clearly had poor families, but they still committed crimes in the West Market. This was very strange.

What were they doing in the West Market on the day of the crime?

Lu Zhuo ordered two of his subordinates to secretly investigate the matter. They didn't investigate what the owners of the wine shops and brothels around the West Market said on the day of the crime. The Supreme Court should have already investigated this before they were able to arrest the criminals and bring them to justice. These people were also very easy to bribe, so it would be a waste of effort to ask them again. He asked his men to investigate all the people who entered and left Xi City on the day of the cases.

There were many people in Xi City and the jurisdiction was not strict. This was extremely difficult to investigate and required the cooperation of the Ministry of Revenue. Therefore, it took Lu Huan two days to get the file. He asked his subordinates to pick out the people who were in Xi City on the days when the cases happened. In this way, one hundred and ninety-eight people were selected from the tens of thousands of people who came and went.

Among these 198 people, a few of them caught Lu Huan's attention.

Among them was a barbarian merchant with a pointed hat and long robes. He was a merchant from the Western Regions who had come to the capital two months ago to deliver wood and carpets. He had come to the capital several times, but there were no records of any transactions in the past two months.

Lu Huan made a trip to the Minister of War's residence. When people from the Western Regions stepped into the territory of the Yan Dynasty, they had to have a customs clearance document. Moreover, they had to be evaluated by the soldiers stationed there. If they were easy thieves, they would not be allowed to enter the territory of the Yan Dynasty. Therefore, the Minister of War should have received the evaluation of this barbarian merchant.

The Minister of War hurriedly took him to the storeroom and had two subordinates spend a long time to find the evaluation of this barbarian merchant from the mountain of customs clearance documents. The evaluation of the northern soldiers was that his temperament was irascible, but his eyes were like a hawk's and his ability to appreciate was extremely strong.

The Minister of War knew that Lu Huan had been secretly investigating this matter recently. Seeing him close the copy of the customs clearance document, he turned around and closed the door. He asked, "Ninth Prince, how is it?"

"I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as the Supreme Court found," Lu Huan said.

After this investigation, he had a completely different guess about the recent crimes committed by the bandits in the capital.

He furrowed his brows and said to the Minister of War, "Those two merchants who had never been to Xi City before but had defiled and killed two women in Xi City were probably just scapegoats."

When the Minister of War heard this, he said, "Crimes committed under the foot of heaven are different from crimes committed in the provinces and counties. Those who handle the case are doing it with their heads on the line. Moreover, the Empress Dowager was attacked a few days ago. The Emperor was furious and ordered that this matter be investigated as soon as possible and that the criminals be arrested and imprisoned. If anyone dares to cover up for them, they will be charged with the crime of deceiving the Emperor. The situation is tense right now. Who would dare to do such a thing?! "

Lu Huan glanced at the Minister of War.

Although the Minister of War's words were a question, he had already understood the situation.

This matter had caused an uproar in the capital. Currently, the Fifth Prince and the Supreme Court were investigating it. The Supreme Court had already arrested all the criminals and reported them to the court. However, they had only caught a scapegoat to take the blame. The Emperor thought that the matter had been resolved and was temporarily pleased. He felt that the Supreme Court was very efficient.

However, if they investigated further, they would definitely discover that they had caught the wrong person and that there was someone covering up for the Hu merchant. The Emperor was already in his forties. Although he was lax in court affairs, he wasn't stupid. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sit in this position. It was only a matter of time before the Emperor found out. And even if he didn't find out after half a month, someone would definitely poke their nose in front of him and let him find out.

When the time came, either the Supreme Court had caught the wrong person due to negligence, or the Supreme Court had been bribed to cover up for the Hu merchant and frame an innocent citizen.

The Fifth Prince would also find it difficult to escape the blame.

In his fury, The Emperor would probably dismiss the Supreme Court and ban the Fifth Prince.

However, if the matter was really that simple, then it would be strange.

Lu Huan said, "I investigated this Hu merchant and found that he hadn't made any transactions in the capital in the past two months. His relationship was very clean, and it was almost impossible to find out who he was working for. However, during the Crown Prince's birthday last year, he just happened to pass by the Crown Prince's residence and brought in some rare treasures to celebrate the Crown Prince's birthday. If it had to be investigated, then it could only be him and the Crown Prince. "

If he could find out this much, then The Emperor could find out as well.

The Minister of War said, "Do you mean that the Crown Prince is working with this Hu merchant to frame the Fifth Prince? But the Crown Prince isn't that scheming. If this matter wasn't done by the Prime Minister's side, then it would seem more like the Fifth Prince was using a trick of injuring himself to gain the confidence of the Crown Prince. "

"Your guess isn't wrong, but there's currently a lack of evidence. No one can be sure who this Hu merchant is working for and who he's working for. It's not impossible to say that it's someone else in the palace."

The Minister of War said, "The Second Prince has always been low-key and doesn't interact much with others. Although the Third Prince is a womanizer, it's also hard to see through his intentions. It's not impossible to say that it's one of these two. But now — "

The Minister of War was reminded and suddenly shivered. Wasn't the one who attracted the wind right now Lu Huan?! If, according to their speculations, The Emperor began to investigate this matter and this Hu merchant suddenly insisted that it was Lu Huan who did it, then the matter would become serious! This was very likely. Although the crown prince was the only one who had a direct relationship with the barbarian merchant, among the princes of the imperial court, Lu Huan was the only one who had the status of a wealthy merchant outside of the imperial palace. Saying that the barbarian merchant had some sort of connection with Lu Huan in the northern lands could also be forcefully fabricated.

At that time, no matter who this barbarian merchant was — or if this barbarian merchant insisted that he was on someone else's side, that prince would become the one who used a borrowed knife to frame the crown prince and push the blame onto the fifth prince.

When the time came, it was unknown who The Emperor would believe.

With this thought, the Minister of War broke out in a cold sweat and said, "I didn't think that a mere crime committed by bandits in the capital would attract so much attention. We don't have much evidence at the moment, so we can't find out who set this trap. "

Thinking about it carefully, he actually felt that the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince were all possible suspects. If he and the Zhenyuan General didn't understand Lu Huan's nature, they might have felt that Lu Huan was the most suspicious. After all, he had killed two birds with one stone and dragged the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince into the water, leaving him as the most famous person in the capital. In this way, it seemed that he would be the one who would benefit the most.

If he thought this way, then The Emperor would probably think this way as well.

Although there was no evidence that this matter was directed at Lu Huan, Lu Huan calculated that he had already returned to the capital for more than four months. Other than the Crown Prince and the Empress who wanted to use the consort selection as an excuse to plant spies at his side, the other princes had probably also tried to plant spies in his residence. However, his residence was guarded by the Yulin Forest Guards who had returned from the north, so spies simply couldn't squeeze in. Four months had passed, and the spies hidden in the shadows didn't dare to act blindly without thinking. However, by now, they should have been unable to restrain themselves and made their move.

Lu Huan lost all of his appetite for these fights and felt deeply bored. However, since the soldiers had come, the general naturally had to block them.

He said to the Minister of War, "For the time being, let's not worry about who set up this scheme. Just focus on breaking the situation."

He had the Minister of War propose a few measures in the Throne Room during court the next day. They would divide the Eastern and Western Markets into clearer areas to make it easier to manage. They would also test out a curfew. After sunset, the Supreme Court would take the lead and each of the Six Ministries would send out people to patrol the capital. If someone suspected of committing a crime was caught during the curfew, the lightest punishment would be flogging, and the heaviest punishment would be beheading.

Apart from the previous cases of bandits, there were quite a few incidental crimes in the capital. This measure could reduce the crime rate to a certain extent.

If this measure was tested in the capital and found to be feasible, then it could be implemented in all of the provinces.

After the Minister of War proposed this measure in the Throne Room, some officials agreed, feeling that this measure would greatly maintain public order. There were also officials who strongly berated him, feeling that the curfew would affect the people's livelihood. For the time being, there was still no conclusion to the debate.

The next day, Lu Huan asked the Grand Commandant Of Cloud to bring a few officials to the Western Markets to discuss matters. Or rather, to pretend to discuss matters.

The Grand Commandant Of Cloud and the Prime Minister were political enemies. Once the Grand Commandant Of Cloud went, the Prime Minister would definitely try to find out what he and those officials were plotting.

The heavy responsibility of breaking this situation fell on the Prime Minister, the only person in the Crown Prince's party who was still clear-headed.

After Lu Huan made some arrangements, he quietly waited for the situation to develop.

Apart from this matter, the previous Mission 16, which was to promote the law of reducing taxes on corvee, was not something that could be done in a day or two. It still needed an opportunity. Lu Huan wanted to reach 300 points as soon as possible, so he became more and more restless when it came to government affairs.

However, it was currently summer vacation in Suxi. After a while, she would be in her third year of high school and go to school. There would not be many opportunities for the two of them to date.

Therefore, Lu Huan would transmigrate directly to Suxi every day after quickly dealing with government affairs.

At the end of summer, the long summer vacation was almost over. The last few days were especially hot. Cicadas in Suxi's neighborhood and Lu Huan's mansion were all clamorous in the same tone. Huo Jingchuan begged Suxi for a long time. Suxi could not resist his coaxing and pestering and called Lu Huan over to play basketball with them.

The basketball court was in the school. After the holidays, they could not enter the teaching building, but they could still enter the school.

Huo Jingchuan's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Huan. He went over to greet him. "Brother Lu, I missed you so much!"

Their team had a player who sprained his ankle some time ago. They had been short of players, causing the boys in their class to not be able to play basketball for more than half a month. They had long wanted to call people from other teams, but they were not familiar with each other, so it was easy to have conflicts.

And Lu Zhuan was the most suitable candidate for this job. He was tall and could intimidate the people from the opposing team. However, he was a newbie in basketball, so he would not overshadow Suxi's limelight —

Huo Jingchuan thought so secretly. He also glanced at the girls who were gradually gathering around the sports field, his little abacus jingling in his heart.

Lu Huan had a handsome face and could attract many beautiful girls. However, when he started to play basketball later, those girls would realize that although he was handsome, he was a complete novice when it came to basketball. He was not even as good looking as Huo Jingchuan from Class 26, who was second only to him in terms of looks but was much better at playing basketball than him. Huo Jingchuan himself was the man.

In this way, those girls' gazes would all be focused on him.

Huo Jingchuan was so proud of himself that he was immersed in his beautiful dream. The gaze he looked at Lu Huan with became even more passionate.

Lu Huan tied up his long black hair and wore a cap. He wore a crayon Shin-chan short-sleeved shirt with the pattern of Nohara Hiroshi that Su Xi had picked for him. It revealed his beautiful, white, and strong arms.

Although he was dressed a little childishly, the expression on his face was cold and cool. He immediately attracted a lot of girls near the sports field who had returned to school to get things.

Many people surrounded the basketball court and sent text messages to their friends screaming.

Although Huo Jingchuan and Lu Huan were the same age, Huo Jingchuan grew up in a greenhouse. How could he compare to Lu Huan, a little fox who grew up in political battles?

Lu Huan could roughly guess Huo Jingchuan's thoughts and felt a little funny in his heart. However, Huo Jingchuan usually took care of Su Xi. After Lu Huan confirmed that he was not someone who could threaten him, he also had some goodwill towards him.

He nodded to Huo Jingchuan and said, "Brother Huo, please explain the rules to me. Sorry to trouble you."

Huo Jingchuan was already used to his genteel way of speaking. He explained the three-point shot, shooting, fouls, and so on to him. The other team members looked at him as if they were looking at a new continent.

Su Xi wore a short-sleeved shirt and a miniskirt. She held her jacket in front of her and stood next to the sports field with a box of mineral water. Gu Qin stood next to her.

Su Xi was a little nervous. After seeing people wearing matching sweaters in the mall last time, Lu Huan asked her to swipe his card and buy two.

After coaxing and pestering for a long time, Su Xi bought two Crayon Shin-chan sweaters. She was wearing Meiya.

Although Lu Huan did not know these two cartoon characters, his eyes were very bright. He was obviously very happy. Seeing that he was so happy, Su Xi let him be and followed him to put on the couple's shirt and came out.

However, she did not expect that there would be so many people on the sports field today. Su Xi felt guilty and her cheeks burned. She used her jacket to cover the pattern in front of her.

The girls stared at Lu Huan with bright eyes and talked about him. However, Gu Qin had already seen Lu Huan a few times. His immunity had increased and he could not look away.

She whispered to Su Xi the gossip before the holidays, "I heard that the school hunk used the same trick to ask the girl from the school next door to watch a movie the day after he handed you the movie ticket."

"Really?" Su Xi was a little nervous because of the clothes she was wearing. She stared at the court, afraid that Lu Huan would bump into something because it was his first time playing basketball. She did not listen to Gu Qin.

Gu Qin was more indignant than him. She flipped through the gossip in school and said, "Why are boys like this nowadays? I don't think it's love at all. It's just a pastime. Fortunately, Xixi, you didn't go to the movies with him that day. Otherwise, you would have become a laughing stock."

As she spoke, Gu Qin's gaze suddenly fell on a girl wearing a knitted sweater and a long dress on the side of the sports field. She suddenly grabbed Su Xi's arm and said, "Damn, Su Xi, look. That girl is so beautiful."

Compared to the previous topic, Su Xi was obviously more interested in this. Her nervous attention was slightly diverted and her eyes suddenly lit up. She held Gu Qin's hand and asked, "Where, where?"

"Over there." Gu Qin pointed and said, "I don't know where she bought the dress. It shows off her figure. I don't think she can wear it. Xixi, you can try this style. Don't wear casual clothes all day."

Su Xi stared at the girl without blinking and exclaimed, "She's really beautiful. Her long, straight black hair is really beautiful. Why haven't I seen her in our school before? Is she from the school next door … You can ask around …"

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a chill on her body for some reason.

She subconsciously looked in the direction of the chill and saw that the basketball court hadn't started yet. Everyone else was warming up. Lu Huan warmed up and rotated his arms while looking at her quietly.

Su Xi, "…"

She suddenly remembered that Lu Huan had excellent hearing and eyesight when he was in the army. He could hear her even though she was only ten meters away.

Su Xi's words suddenly turned into crazy flattery. "No! Her figure is good, but it's not as good as Lu Huan's! She's very good-looking, but I don't think she's as good-looking as Lu Huan! "

Gu Qin, "…?"

Lu Huan's expression relaxed, but during the warm-up, he intentionally or unintentionally blocked Su Xi's view of the girl.

Su Xi, "…"

Huo Jingchuan really didn't know where Lu Huan came from. This was the first time he had heard of a three-point free throw! He had a perfunctory thought and hastily explained it. He found that Lu Huan was actually listening very seriously. Could it be that Lu Huan wasn't being modest when he said that he didn't 'know how to play basketball', but that he really didn't know how to play basketball?!

He really wanted to find a handsome guy who didn't know how to play basketball to set him off, but he didn't want to find someone who would drag him down!

Huo Jingchuan's expression suddenly became very indescribable.

He looked at Lu Huan and couldn't help but ask, "I have a question that I've wanted to ask for a long time. Did you transmigrate from some dynasty?"

Lu Huan glanced at Huo Jingchuan and calmly took out his ID card from his trouser pocket.

When Huo Jingchuan saw him take out a card as if it was some kind of treasure, he couldn't help but lean over to take a look. Lu Zhuo said calmly above his head, "The people of this city are honest with both the old and young."

Huo Jingchuan was speechless.

In his heart, he thought, "I'll be damned if I believe you! How can there be people from this city who don't understand the dialect?! "

Although he was complaining, the basketball game hadn't started yet. Huo Jingchuan and a group of teammates surrounded Lu Huan and asked Lu Huan to try shooting a basketball first — to see which position he would be strategically placed in later.

Lu Huan already understood the rules. It was nothing more than throwing the basketball into the basket while surrounded by the enemy. He took the basketball and felt that it was too light. It seemed to be filled with some kind of gas and didn't feel any weight in his hand. Compared to long tasseled spears and heavy stone arrows, it was as light as nothing.

In this case, he needed to use less strength. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would be thrown out of the school in one fell swoop and cause criticism.

With this thought, Lu Huan took two steps back and squeezed the basketball in his palm.

His arm was hanging down, but the basketball seemed to have some kind of attraction and was tightly clasped in his hand.

Huo Jingchuan's teammate said, "The handsome guy you brought doesn't look like he doesn't know how to play! Not everyone can hold a basketball with one hand! You can't do it. "

"…" Huo Jingchuan crossed his arms, feeling a little embarrassed. "Damn it, I also suspect that he's fooling me …"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Huan raised his hand and tapped lightly with his finger.

It was time to pitch.

The basketball drew an accurate parabola in the air.

Before the ball hit the basket, everyone on the basketball court knew that the ball was very accurate.

The people outside the field also widened their eyes and were about to cheer, "Good shot —"

But who would have thought that just as the cheers came out, the ball did enter the basket, but when it hit the ground and bounced up, it directly hit the basket and sent it flying! The screws on the backboard loosened, and four of them fell to the ground!

After a few tenths of a second, the basketball hoop fell to the ground with a clang!

The basketball bounced back and forth a few times on the ground like a lethal weapon. The people around it dodged in horror. Finally, it bounced back and flew into the distant lawn.

Someone picked it up and held it up to the Huo Jingchuan people, saying, "It's cracked."

The basketball cracked.

Everyone on the basketball court was speechless.

The onlookers outside the basketball court were speechless.

Su Xi was speechless.

Huo Jingchuan sucked in a breath of cold air and rushed over to Su Xi. "Where did you get to know this kind of person who can uproot a weeping willow? With a gentle lift of his hand, the basketball was cracked! This basketball was brought by our class sports committee member. It's more than a hundred yuan! "

Su Xi was speechless.

Lu Huan looked at his hand and frowned slightly. He also realized that he used too much strength. The reason was very simple. Whether it was drawing a bow, reining in a horse, or throwing a long spear on the school field, it all required a lot of strength. He had become used to it in the past few years. Just now, he had clearly tried his best to reduce his strength, but he didn't expect the ball-shaped object and the basket to be so fragile like willows in the wind.

These words were naturally very provocative, so Lu Huan took the initiative to apologize. "I'll pay for this ball."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he responsibly went to the teaching building to move a table and placed it under the backboard. Then, he picked up the basket and a few nails and put the basket in with his bare hands.

He even twisted it hard.

After he twisted it, the slightly loose basket immediately became impregnable. The basket probably wouldn't fall even if the school collapsed.

Su Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said to Huo Jingchuan, "Please be considerate. Lu Huan was born with great strength and has never played basketball before. There's a first time for everything. Give him another chance."

Huo Jingchuan didn't quite believe him. He was afraid that Lu Huan would hit them when they played basketball.

Fortunately, the boys who played basketball didn't care much about the basketball. Instead, they were extremely amazed. They surrounded Lu Huan and wanted to see how his arms grew. He obviously didn't have too many exaggerated muscles. He was white, slender, and good-looking. He was even thinner than the two big guys in their group. But why did he have the explosive strength to smash the backboard?

Someone suggested, "Brother Lu, go a little further and try shooting a three-pointer. Maybe you'll be able to hit it easily if you go a little further."

Lu Huan picked up another basketball and walked to the three-pointer.

This time, he slightly restrained himself and used even less strength. He almost used his fingers to flick the ball.

After a beautiful and smooth parabola —

"Clang!" The basketball decisively entered the basket. This time, he controlled his strength just right. The basketball bounced off the ground with irresistible force, but its acceleration in the air was reduced to zero. When it was about to touch the basket, its speed also became zero and it fell back to the ground.

The people on the field who saw this scene were stunned.

Handsome people really didn't walk the usual path. He didn't care about shooting one-pointer or two-pointer shots. He still had to shoot three-pointers to hit it.

Lu Huan's eyebrows relaxed. He felt that he basically knew how to use the strength. He picked up the basketball with great interest and said to Huo Jingchuan and the others, "You can start."

To be honest, Huo Jingchuan didn't believe that Lu Huan could play any position as a guard or a forward. After all, he even learned how to shoot on the spot —

But he never expected that in the next half of the game, Brother Lu's operation was as fierce as a tiger.

Whether it was defense, fierce attack, or the shooting that he just learned, he had almost no blind spots.

As long as he stood in the defensive position, several players from the opposing team could not break through. Instead, he easily reached out to grab the ball and snatched it away.

And as long as he attacked fiercely, he didn't even need his own teammates. He could break through the defensive line of several people on the opposing team alone and hit the three-pointer.

After the first half of the game, Huo Jingchuan was absent-minded as he listened to the intense cheers outside the field.

He ran here and there, but he didn't even touch the ball. He suspected that he wasn't here to play basketball, but to run. He didn't even need to f * cking play. Brother Lu alone and the team were enough.

Half-time. He and the others ran until they were out of breath and drenched in sweat. Lu Huan's forehead didn't have any sweat at all. He was refreshed and didn't look tired at all. He even walked to Su Xi to get a bottle of mineral water.

Huo Jingchuan looked at the girls outside the field who were completely attracted by Lu Huan. He was so worried that he wanted to vomit blood.

This was completely different from what he imagined!

The other boys on the court had the same thought. Why did they come to school to play basketball? To listen to the girls cheer for a handsome guy they didn't know? They might as well play in the shabby basketball court near the neighborhood. They wanted to urge Huo Jingchuan to discuss with Lu Huan and not let this tall, rich, and handsome guy play in the second half. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to live.

However, before Huo Jingchuan could urge them, Lu Huan looked at the sky and took the initiative to tell him that they were going to switch players.

He said, "It's late. I have to send Xiao Xi home."

If it was late and Su Xi's parents came back, the two of them wouldn't be able to enter Su Xi's room.

Huo Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time, he felt that Su Xi was a little useful. He said to her, "Hurry up, bring your Popeye home."

Su Xi rolled her eyes at him. "Zhong Wuyan, Xia Yingchun, you were the one who coaxed and pestered our Lu Huan to play basketball."

She turned her head and asked Gu Qin, "Do you want to go back together?"

Gu Qin's mind was completely focused on the beautiful girls outside the field. He said to her perfunctorily, "You guys go back first. I'll watch for a while."

Su Xi was also afraid that she would be exposed if she went back with Gu Qin. It would be awkward if Gu Qin found out that she actually directly brought Lu Huan into her house.

She pulled Lu Huan towards the school gate.

Lu Huan asked curiously, "What is Popeye?"

Su Xi said to him, "It's a cartoon. The protagonist eats spinach and becomes very strong."

Lu Huan smiled. "In that case, you're spinach."

Su Xi didn't understand what he meant. She walked side by side with him towards the school gate for a few steps before she realized what he meant. He meant that if she wasn't there, he wouldn't have played so seriously. He wouldn't have scored dozens of goals without missing a single one to Huo Jingchuan and the others. In the end, he was chased away by his teammates.

Su Xi's cheeks suddenly heated up.

Lu Huan wanted to say something but hesitated. He glanced at her.

Su Xi was a little amused and said, "Handsome. Except for the first ball that broke the basket, the rest of the basketball games were very handsome! I've never seen anyone more handsome than you! "

Lu Huan was satisfied.

With Lu Huan's looks, it was impossible that no one would have the guts to ask for his WeChat after walking around the school. The two walked from the field to the school gate. On the short walk, there were already several groups of people who came to ask for his WeChat.

Even if Lu Huan turned a blind eye, it was annoying enough if it happened too many times.

Su Xi complained in her heart. She was clearly standing next to Lu Huan. Why did these sisters turn a blind eye to her? Did they all think she was dead?! She couldn't help but throw the jacket in front of her to Lu Huan and said aggressively, "Hold it for me."

As soon as the couple shirts were taken out, sure enough, the people who came to ask for his WeChat disappeared. The stunned gazes around turned into envy towards Su Xi, as well as a faintly discernible pity.

Su Xi was speechless.

Although Huo Jingchuan said that he would never ask Lu Huan to play basketball again and be tortured, he said what he said and did what he said. In the next few days, he begged Su Xi to call Lu Huan over several times.

However, the basketball location was no longer at the school, but near the community.

Surrounded by a group of middle-aged uncles and aunties, Huo Jingchuan and the other boys felt justified. They could finally enjoy the pleasure of being led by Lu Huan to kill the other team's teammates.

There were two sides to the story. An undercurrent was surging under the calm lake in the capital.

The Prime Minister learned that the Grand Commandant Of Cloud and a few officials went to the Drunken Flower Brothel in Xi City in private after court. The Grand Commandant Of Cloud and these officials didn't have any wedding or funeral banquet or other important events in their mansions recently. They gathered outside the mansion for no reason and deliberately kept their whereabouts a secret. No one knew what they were plotting. The Prime Minister was worried, so he asked the spies in the mansion to keep an eye on them.

However, this stare caused the Prime Minister to notice something big.

His spies told him that there was a private gambling house under the teahouse near the Drunken Flower Brothel. There was a barbarian businessman who had a bad temper. If he won, he would take all the money in his arms. If he lost, he would punch and kick the person who won his money.

This time, he kicked the second son of the Chenzhou magistrate, who was studying in the capital.

The second son of the magistrate of Chenzhou was not a nobody. Logically speaking, he should have made a big fuss and arrested the barbarian merchant. However, for some reason, the barbarian merchant, who was just a commoner, seemed to have a backer. As a result, the magistrate of Chenzhou had no choice but to escape from the capital that very night.

There were many cases of officials colluding with merchants in the capital. If there were officials in the imperial court who wanted to launder money, they would go through some merchants.

Among these merchants, the barbarian businessmen from the Western Region were the best candidates.

These barbarian businessmen came and went as they pleased. After they finished their business, they could leave the capital with a customs clearance document and no one could find any evidence.

Therefore, some barbarian businessmen thought that they could do whatever they wanted in the capital and didn't take the lives of the people in the capital seriously.

When the Prime Minister heard what his spies said, his first reaction was that there was something fishy about this barbarian businessman. If he followed the clues, he might be able to find some corrupt officials.

Moreover, this matter might have something to do with the Fifth Prince and the Supreme Court, who were dealing with the bandits in the capital recently.

If they found out that the Fifth Prince was guilty of harboring the barbarian businessman, they could use this opportunity to weaken his power in the capital. Even if they found out that it had nothing to do with the Fifth Prince, it would still be a merit and could be credited to the Crown Prince. Although the Crown Prince had been conferred the position of the East Palace in the past two years, his position was really unstable. Compared to the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince, who had been brought back by the Emperor, the Crown Prince could be said to have no political achievements. The Prime Minister was also afraid that in the long run, the East Palace's position would be shaken.

Therefore, he sent someone to secretly investigate.

However, he didn't expect that the barbarian businessman was only related to the Crown Prince.

Could it be that the Crown Prince was the one who secretly protected the barbarian businessman, used the barbarian businessman and the gambling house to launder money and secretly drove the second son of the Chenzhou magistrate out of the capital?

How was this possible?

The Prime Minister would never believe it. It wasn't that he didn't believe that the Crown Prince was unparalleled in loyalty and integrity and that it was impossible for him to do something like corruption. However, he didn't believe that with the Crown Prince's straw-like brain and indecisive character, he would be so thorough in driving the second son of the Chenzhou magistrate out of the capital. He even did it neatly and neatly and framed the few people caught by the Supreme Court.

This matter must have been planned by someone to frame the Crown Prince.

With such an analysis, the Prime Minister couldn't sit still anymore.

He first asked his relatives to send a letter to the East Palace, vaguely mentioning this matter in the letter.

The Crown Prince replied that night, claiming that he definitely had nothing to do with this matter and that his uncle shouldn't be misled by rumors.

Only then did the Prime Minister feel completely relieved.

He was afraid that when the Emperor found out about this matter, he would also accuse the Crown Prince of colluding with the barbarian businessman. The Crown Prince indeed had nothing to do with this matter, but it was hard to guarantee that someone would frame him! Therefore, the Prime Minister entered the palace that night and decided to preemptively inform The Emperor of this matter. No matter who was behind this, the Crown Prince had to be removed from this matter first.

With the help of the Prime Minister, Lu Huan finally reported this matter to the Emperor.

Chenzhou was a remote and desolate place with a shortage of food and clothing. Between fame and money, the second son of the Chenzhou magistrate chose the latter. He took the bag of silver that Zhong Ganping gave him and left the capital overnight. A person like him had to be timid and weak when facing the barbarian businessman. Only then would the Prime Minister become suspicious and investigate. He was the bait that Lu Huan threw out.

That night, the Emperor was furious.

First, he was furious that someone actually dared to collude with the barbarian businessman right under his nose and embezzle a large amount of money. Second, he was furious that the Fifth Prince and the Supreme Court didn't catch the real culprit in the investigation. Instead, they caught a few scapegoats. Someone actually dared to swap out the suspects right under the nose of the Imperial City. Third, he was furious that this matter was obviously not that simple. It definitely involved the killing and framing of the princes.

The Emperor first removed the Fifth Prince and the Supreme Court's authority to investigate this matter and ordered the leader of the Imperial Guards beside him to personally investigate.

It was originally a small matter, but it suddenly involved such a big matter. For a moment, the officials in the capital were all in danger, afraid that they would stand on the wrong side. Especially the people in the Fifth Prince's party. Even if the person behind the barbarian businessman wasn't the Fifth Prince, the Fifth Prince couldn't avoid the accusation that he didn't investigate the case well.

The Fifth Prince's expression didn't look good in the throne room.

But at this time, he had offended the Emperor, so no official dared to come forward to comfort him.

While the Emperor was investigating the case, some officials in the capital heard the news and couldn't help but secretly visit Lu Huan.

After all, they previously thought that the most likely person to ascend to that position was either the Crown Prince or the Fifth Prince. But after this matter came out, it made people think that the Ninth Prince, who didn't make a move, might have the greatest hope.

Even if they couldn't stand behind him like the Zhenyuan General and the others, they might be able to make a last-minute effort to curry favor with him.

But the Ninth Princes didn't meet anyone.

Lu Huan stayed out of this matter. Other than attending court and handling government affairs, he stayed in his bedchamber and went to Su Xi's side.

And every time this happened, he would announce to the outside world that he was tired and went to bed early.

Perhaps it was because he slept too much, but for some reason, the news in the capital gradually spread that the Ninth Princes had been raised in the Monastery of Eternal Spring since he was young. His body was weak and his face was pale. In addition, he hadn't recovered from his injuries in the North, so he didn't have enough strength all day long.

When this news spread, the noble ladies in the capital who had designs on Lu Huan also retreated a bit. No matter how noble they were, their future husband wasn't someone who couldn't do anything.

Although these rumors were messy and extremely absurd, since it was convenient for Lu Huan, Lu Huan also told his subordinates to turn a blind eye to these rumors.

He told Su Xi about this matter, and Su Xi laughed until his stomach hurt.

Su Xi couldn't help but look down.

Lu Huan's face was a bit dark. "… I can do it."

Ten days later, something big happened in the capital. It shocked all the civil and military officials and caused them to discuss it fervently.

It turned out that the truth of the bandit case half a month ago came to light.

There were many officials involved in the case. Among them, the Crown Prince actually colluded with the barbarian merchants and amassed countless wealth in the residence.

This barbarian merchant used the Crown Prince's authority to hurt people several times in the West City, but no official went to arrest him. Because the Crown Prince helped to replace him, the Supreme Court mistakenly caught a few scapegoats.

The Fifth Prince didn't investigate the case well and really caught a few innocent people by mistake. Now the people in the capital were boiling with anger. The first petition was to let the Supreme Court release the innocent scapegoats. The second petition was to let the emperor be punished the same as the commoners!

In order to appease the people's anger, the Emperor killed the barbarian merchant and the people he brought from the West City. He also took away the Crown Prince's seal and ordered him to be grounded to reflect on his mistakes. The Fifth Prince didn't do anything in the case and was fined his salary for a year. As for other officials who embezzled and amassed wealth, if the case was serious, their families would be exterminated. If the case was less serious, they would be stripped of their official position.

Most of these officials were related to the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister's family. The Crown Prince's party suffered heavy losses.

And because the Prime Minister took the initiative to report this matter, the Cha Family was spared.

This matter was reported by the leader of the Imperial Guards sent by the Emperor to investigate the case. After the truth came to light, the Prime Minister didn't dare to believe it. He shouted in the Throne Room: "The Crown Prince is loyal and honest. He is definitely not a person who amasses wealth. This matter must be framed!"

The main reason was that he didn't believe that the Crown Prince's simple-minded mind would be able to launder money and amass wealth.

Moreover, before he rushed into the palace that night, he had clearly sent a guard to the East Palace to pass a message. The Crown Prince didn't know anything about this matter.

But the Emperor was furious. He threw the evidence of the confession and the missing account books in front of him: "The evidence is conclusive. Does the Prime Minister still want to speak for the Crown Prince?!"

After the Prime Minister flipped through the account books, his legs went soft.

There was a heavy rain in the capital. The sky was gloomy. Because of the recent matter, no one dared to provoke the Emperor. A few Crown Prince's party members even claimed to be sick and didn't go out. They tried to reduce their presence.

The evidence was there. The Imperial Guards found the gold and silver that he seized during the disaster last year. The case couldn't be overturned. After the Prime Minister walked out of the Throne Room, he had a deep grudge with the Empress and the rest of the Crown Prince's party members. After all, he entered the palace late at night and reported this matter. How could he explain this?

The Prime Minister couldn't explain. He held back his anger and fell ill. He laid in bed for three days and didn't go to court.

He still didn't believe that the Crown Prince could do these things by himself.

Even if the amassing of wealth was done by the Crown Prince, what about the substitution, finding a scapegoat, and framing the Fifth Prince for not doing his job well?

The Emperor didn't think that the Crown Prince was stupid. Did he have the brain to do this?

There must be someone behind the scenes. But who was it? The Fifth Prince? The Second Prince? Or the Ninth Princes?

The Prime Minister felt that the letter between him and the Crown Prince that night hadn't reached the Crown Prince's hands. He was afraid that he had been tricked by someone. At this time, the Crown Prince was under house arrest. No one could go to the Eastern Palace. He couldn't ask the Crown Prince.

But there was still that relative. He just remembered to call the relative who had sent the letter over. But he didn't expect that the servant would rush in with a pale face and kneel in front of him. He said that the relative had lost his footing last night and drowned in the canal while patrolling.

The Prime Minister almost couldn't breathe. The trail was cut short.

The raindrops were like connected lines. They pitter-pattered and smashed all over the capital, washing away the blood of the people who had died in Xi City. The shocking matter was still fermenting among the officials, but no one dared to discuss it openly.

Late that night, a small green curtain sedan was parked on the side path of the Ninth Princes' residence.

The servants of the Ninth Princes' residence had originally obeyed Lu Huan's orders. No matter who came, they were not to meet or inform him.

But when the person in the small green curtain sedan reached out with a hand and took out a token, the servants at the door hesitated. After a while, they hurried in to report.

But after half an hour, the servant returned and said in fear and trepidation to the person in the sedan, "His Highness is asleep. Second Prince, please go back."

The smile on the face of the person in the sedan suddenly froze. Then, his eyes turned cold.

A moment later, the small green curtain sedan returned home.

This matter, from beginning to end, could be said to be very simple.

Lu Huan had guessed it on the day he went to see the Minister of War.

The Hu merchants had connections with him, the Crown Prince, and the Fifth Prince. Who was the only one who had completely disappeared?

This matter began when several innocent civilians in the capital were killed one after another in the middle of the night. One of the corpses lay there for an entire night and happened to bump into the Empress Dowager, who was in plain clothes worshipping Buddha. The Empress Dowager was frightened and fell ill. The Emperor became angry and ordered the Fifth Prince and the Supreme Court to thoroughly investigate this matter.

The Fifth Prince was no fool. He had long since found out that this matter was related to the Crown Prince. However, he chose to restrain himself and not make a move. Instead, he followed the clues the Crown Prince threw out and let the Hu merchants go, capturing the scapegoats and bringing them to justice.

It wasn't that he let the Crown Prince go, but rather that he was waiting for this matter to ferment. When the time came, he would reveal the truth and report it to The Emperor. He would expose the Crown Prince and some of his henchmen for accumulating wealth.

Otherwise, how could the Crown Prince be toppled with the deaths of just a few people? The Emperor would probably turn a big matter into a small one and turn it into nothing.

He was bound to let the people seethe with anger and abuse until they reached the feet of the Son of Heaven. The Imperial Court would be unable to give an explanation, and The Emperor would fly into a rage.

However, the Fifth Prince hadn't expected that before he could wrap up this matter, the Prime Minister would suddenly appear and enter the palace in the middle of the night, causing the East Window to be exposed ahead of time.

The Fifth Prince's expression was ugly. This way, he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. He would also have to suffer in silence. He would become an idiot who was "muddle-headed, caught the wrong person, and didn't do his job well."

The Emperor confiscated his salary.

However, what made the Fifth Prince feel better was that with the Crown Prince being grounded, he didn't know when he would be able to return to court. Even the Crown Prince's seal had been taken away. It seemed that The Emperor was very angry.

The only thing he didn't understand was why the Prime Minister, who had always been on the Crown Prince's side, suddenly turned against him.

He didn't understand. The Empress and the rest of the Crown Prince's henchmen didn't understand either. Because of this, they practically cut off all contact with the Prime Minister and became estranged.

However, the Prime Minister was right about one thing in the throne room. The Crown Prince was mediocre and couldn't have handled the aftermath so perfectly.

The Crown Prince was greedy for wealth, the Second Prince was low-key, the Third Prince was lustful, and the Fifth Prince was meritorious. Last year, the Crown Prince had taken advantage of the famine to amass a large amount of wealth. This matter was indeed the Crown Prince's doing. The account books that the Imperial Guards had uncovered were also conclusive evidence. After spring came, the Crown Prince couldn't help but contact the Hu merchants and use the Hu merchants to launder money. This was also true.

However, everything that happened next had nothing to do with the Crown Prince.

After the Second Prince found out about this, he planned for a long time. Before the Hu merchant entered the city, he secretly kidnapped the Hu merchant's wife and son and had the Hu merchant listen to his orders. This matter could be traced back to before the Hu merchant entered the city. The Hu merchant didn't have any traces, so it was impossible to find out. On the surface, the Hu merchant was chosen by the Crown Prince to launder money, but in reality, it was the Second Prince who sent him to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince lay dormant for an entire winter and finally found a way to launder money with great difficulty. In addition, the Hu merchant was very capable, so he conspired with him at the banquet a few months ago.

The Crown Prince only did this one thing.

After that, he found a scapegoat with a clean background. The matter of the corpse colliding with the Empress Dowager was all done in secret by the Second Prince. There was no other reason other than that, just like the Fifth Prince, he wanted to incite public resentment. When the public resentment was enough, he would expose this matter in one fell swoop. This way, the Crown Prince would die faster.

In his original plan, the one to expose this matter was either the Fifth Prince or Lu Huan.

If the Fifth Prince exposed it, he could cause the Crown Prince to fall from power. The Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince Faction would form a blood feud.

If Lu Huan exposed it, not only could he cause the Crown Prince to fall from power, but he could also cause the Fifth Prince to have a bad reputation for incompetence. He could also cause Lu Huan and the Crown Prince Faction to form a grudge.

In any case, when the sandpiper and the clam fought, he could sit back and reap the benefits.

However, when he was using others as chess pieces, he didn't expect that Lu Huan would be one step ahead of him.

Lu Huan led the Prime Minister's informants to Drunken Flower House in Xi City and transferred the knife to the Prime Minister's hands.

In fact, Lu Huan only did this step, and it was a step that was equivalent to self-preservation. He had seen the Emperor before and understood the Emperor's nature very well. When it came to informants, none of the princes had as many as the one in the Imperial Palace. In the capital, no matter what was done, it was impossible to hide from the Emperor.

Therefore, the one who changed the Prime Minister's letter midway was actually the one in the Imperial Palace.

The Crown Prince himself might not believe it, but the one who wanted the Prime Minister to fall from power and weakened the relationship between the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince Faction was actually the Emperor.

When the Emperor saw that Lu Huan had delivered the Prime Minister to his door, he took advantage of the situation and put the hat of denouncing this matter on the Prime Minister's head. After that, no matter what happened to the Crown Prince, the enmity between the Crown Prince Faction and the Prime Minister grew. To a large extent, the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister, the Empress, and the Crown Prince Faction were scattered.

However, on the Second Prince's side, they probably thought that the final blow would be Lu Huan. Therefore, they especially came tonight to see if there was any leeway for an alliance.

The Second Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Prime Minister, and the Crown Prince couldn't see the full picture.

The Emperor and Lu Huan were probably the only two people who knew the whole story.

The Emperor didn't do anything to the Second Prince. Lu Huan could guess what he was thinking. It wasn't because he was reluctant, but because this matter already involved a lot of people. If another prince was involved, the royal family's face would be damaged too much.

While Lu Huan was silently guessing the Emperor's intentions.

The Emperor was in the Great Ming Palace. Looking at the portrait of Noble Lady Qing, he also felt that the Ninth Prince was unfathomable. What did Lu Huan do in this matter? He didn't do anything. If you carefully analyzed him, you wouldn't be able to punish him. Because he did nothing more than pass a message to the Grand Commandant Of Cloud: I heard that the wine at Drunken Flower House is delicious. Why don't the Grand Commandant Of Cloud invite a few officials to have a taste? I'll pay for it.

Could he be punished because of such an invitation?

But it was with such an invitation that he managed to deflect Lao Er and Lao Wu's attempt to drag him into the quarrel. He also delivered the knife to them.

The Emperor even suspected that he had guessed his intentions, which was why he chose the Prime Minister.

In the Great Ming Palace, The Emperor's expression was unclear.

In just a few short days, many major events happened in the capital. Three days after the Crown Prince was grounded, the frightened Empress Dowager died in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. The whole country mourned.

It rained heavily for many days in the capital. The relatives suggested that someone should go and guard the Imperial Mausoleum for the Empress Dowager.

The Emperor chose Lu Huan among the people. The imperial edict came down. It said that only the Ninth Princes didn't have a wife and the Ninth Princes was filial and benevolent. Therefore, he broke the Yan Dynasty's rule that princes could only be titled after reaching the age of 20. He was titled Prince Yanqing and had to observe mourning for a year.

After the imperial edict came down, all the civil and military officials were shocked. Why was the Ninth Princes, who had been famous in the capital recently, sent to guard the Imperial Mausoleum? Wasn't he being demoted?

The General Zhenyuan and the Minister of War tried their best to dissuade him. They said that the Ninth Princes was young and should send another relative to guard the Imperial Mausoleum.

However, The Emperor insisted and had Lu Huan leave with the coffin in seven days.

What the General Zhenyuan and the Minister of War didn't know was that it was Lu Huan who took the initiative to mention guarding the Imperial Mausoleum to The Emperor. His idea was simple. It was only a year. This year, Su Xi would take the college entrance exam. If he wanted to get into a university in that world, it would be best to go to her side and study for a year. If there were too many government affairs in this year, he might not be able to smoothly finish his senior year of high school.

In addition, last time, in order to complete Mission 17, he might have encountered some vigilance from The Emperor. At this time, it was a good thing to avoid the sharp edge.

This time, The Emperor couldn't guess what Lu Huan was thinking. However, he felt that it was a good thing for his Ninth Prince to observe mourning for a year.

The struggle between the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Fifth Prince was surging. It wouldn't end in a short time. After the Ninth Prince returned to the capital, the situation became even more chaotic. The Ninth Prince was simply toying with his brothers in the palm of his hand. When the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince realized what was going on, they would definitely join hands to deal with him.

The Emperor was very conflicted. On the one hand, he didn't want anyone to covet his position. On the other hand, he knew that he had to choose a suitable successor.

On one hand, he felt that Yan Qing was the most suitable among the princes to shoulder the world. On the other hand, he was somewhat afraid of this son that he had only recognized more than ten years later.

Now that Lu Huan took the initiative to ask to guard the Imperial Mausoleum for a year, the Emperor was slightly relieved and immediately agreed.

The matter of guarding the Imperial Mausoleum was still in dispute. Su Xi had been rushing to do her homework these few days and didn't have her phone on all the time.

The hot summer vacation was coming to an end. She was having a headache over another matter.

Last night, a notification popped up in her class group. According to tradition, the senior year of high school would all have to live in school.

[There are still three days before school starts. Students, please do your job as a parent. On the day of school, bring some luggage and daily necessities to school. The form teacher will be waiting for you in the classroom. Everyone will be assigned to live in the dormitory./smile]

This was indeed the tradition of Su Xi's school. However, before the summer vacation, the teacher said that the policy might change this year and they didn't have to live in school. Therefore, Su Xi and Gu Qin didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, the summer vacation was coming to an end. The school had thought it through and still had to live in school.

Su Xi's parents were a little worried. After returning from work, they said unhappily, "Why do we have to live in school all of a sudden? Can the school cafeteria keep up with the nutrition? We're already in our senior year. What if we don't have enough nutrition? "

Su Xi fully understood the reason for living in school. She said, "Maybe it's because we're in our senior year. The school wants to hurry up."

Su Xi's parents thought about it and agreed. Even though the house they bought was only a few streets away from the school and wasn't as far as the one in the Third Ring Road, Su Xi did spend a lot of time on the road to and from school every day. Moreover, there was a TV and wifi at home. It wasn't realistic to focus on studying.

After discussing for a while, they signed the agreement. Su Xi's mother went to buy daily necessities for Su Xi before school started.

Su Xi didn't have any objections to living in school. She was only worried about one thing.

If she lived in school, how would Lu Huan come over every time? If the starting interface was still her room at home, then Lu Huan would be caught by her parents sooner or later.

Was there a way to change the starting interface?

However, if she wanted to change it, where could she change it? After she lived in school, she would definitely live in the same dormitory as the other three girls in her class. There wouldn't be a single room. She couldn't possibly let Lu Huan appear in her dormitory out of thin air.

There was a big problem.

On the night before school started, Xia Chan was chirping non-stop on the tree in the neighborhood. It was very noisy.

Su Xi had already finished her summer homework. She downloaded a few sets of materials for senior year from the Internet and printed them out at the printing shop in the neighborhood. She slowly prepared for the lessons ahead.

The temperature was gradually cooling. She didn't turn on the air conditioner. Instead, she opened the windows. The cool breeze at around ten o 'clock rolled up the papers.

Su Xi pressed the papers with her elbow. She was a little impetuous and couldn't read the content for a long time.

She was still thinking about what to do with Lu Huan after she lived in school.

In addition to this, she definitely couldn't use her phone frequently in her senior year. Even if Su Xi's parents didn't care much, Su Xi still had to focus all her attention on her studies in order to be responsible for herself.

She could meet Lu Huan every day during lunch.

She just needed to give Lu Huan a set of keys to her house. At that time, her parents wouldn't be at home. Lu Huan could directly enter and leave through her room.

But — sigh.

Su Xi felt that there would be fewer opportunities to meet in that case. They hadn't separated yet, but she already felt a faint sense of reluctance.

Su Xi didn't think too much about the problems between her and Lu Huan in the future.

She couldn't say that. In fact, she had thought about it before … She thought that after she successfully passed the college entrance examination, finished university, and graduate school, she would find a job and occasionally go home to visit her parents. Lu Huan went to court to deal with government affairs, which was no different from going to work. When they both got off work, they could do a lot of things together.

She didn't have to worry about finances. He could bring some money out at any time. And even if he couldn't bring it out one day, she could still earn money to support him.

But the sudden idea of living in school made Su Xi realize that she was still thinking too simply.

Her previous plan was equivalent to completely classifying Lu Huan as a person from that world. His role in this world was only to stay by her side and accompany her.

But in fact, if Lu Huan lived in this world, he would also need friends and interpersonal contacts here. After he went out, people would ask him what he did for a living and where he graduated from. If his experiences were completely blank, then there would always be a sense of alienation between him and her world …

More importantly, what would her parents say when the time came?

Su Xi bit the tip of her pen. She was a little bald.

She liked Lu Huan. Just like she promised that night, no matter what happened, she wouldn't be separated from him. Her parents wouldn't agree? Was that a big deal? He didn't have a degree from this world? That shouldn't be a problem. As long as the two of them were together, they could slowly solve it.

With this thought, Su Xi put down her pen and decided not to do the test paper for now. She turned on her phone and planned to call Lu Huan over to discuss in a low voice while her parents had finished showering and entered the bedroom.

In the end, as if they had a telepathic connection, Lu Huan suddenly appeared in her room.

Su Xi was startled. She lowered her voice: "Why did you suddenly come over?"

"School is starting tomorrow. I want to take you somewhere." Lu Huan also lowered his voice.

He was familiar with this place.

He quickly went to Su Xi's bed and pulled out a cardboard box. Inside it were some of his clothes from this world.

"Now?" Su Xi looked at her phone: "It's almost eleven."

Lu Huan was wearing a white robe. The cloth that bound his hair was also white. Su Xi realized that the Empress Dowager had died two days ago. He was still in mourning and could only return to the prince's residence at night. She didn't know if he was hungry after mourning for an entire day.

Su Xi immediately said: "Are you hungry? I'll go cook some noodles."

"I'm not hungry." Lu Huan patted her head and said: "It's just that I really couldn't get away during the day, so I could only come now."

He took the clothes and glanced at Su Xi.

Su Xi's cheeks immediately burned. She turned around and didn't look at anything.

Now that her parents were in the master bedroom, she would make a noise if she went out of the room. Lu Huan wouldn't be able to change his clothes. Anyway, it would be the same if she turned around.

Su Xi asked him: "Where are we going? We won't be back too late, right? "

Lu Huan said: "Just for a while."

Su Xi looked at the pajamas she was wearing and then looked outside the room. She felt like a thief. She whispered: "But how are we going to go out? From the room to the door, we have to make a sound."

Lu Huan picked up her coat from the back of the chair and put it on for her as if he was dressing a child. Su Xi obediently stretched out her hands.

"This way, you won't make a sound." Lu Huan leaned over, picked up her knees, and carried her horizontally. The first time he carried Lu Huan in a princess carry, his ears were red. He was very nervous, afraid that he would be rude to Su Xi. But now, he seemed to be very familiar with it. He leaned over and whispered in Su Xi's ear: "I walk very lightly."

Su Xi was nervous and excited. She nodded.

Lu Huan really walked very lightly. Except for a little noise when he closed the door, it was almost unnoticeable, let alone Su Xi's parents who were snoring loudly in the master bedroom.

He skillfully took the key and put it in his pocket.

The two of them left the neighborhood.

Lu Huan stopped a taxi and drove all the way.

Su Xi found that he actually asked the driver to drive to the opposite side of her school.

Opposite the school was a high-end neighborhood. Because of the good location, it was very expensive. Because of the school district, the price rose a lot. If Su Xi remembered correctly, this place should be around thirty thousand yuan per square meter.

Su Xi vaguely guessed something in her heart and became more and more excited.

Lu Huan took her in and pressed the elevator of one of the buildings. Then, he stood in front of an apartment, took out the key from his other pocket, and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the light at the entrance lit up. It was a clean American-style apartment with bright windows.

Su Xi was a little afraid of dirtying the ground, so she didn't dare to speak loudly. She exclaimed excitedly, "When did you rent it?"

"I bought it." Lu Huan raised his eyebrows. He was a little proud, but at the same time, he was a little nervous. He was afraid that Su Xi would refuse. After thinking, he said, "There's something else I want to tell you."

Su Xi turned to look at him. She felt that he was very serious. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling. She was afraid that he would say something like "I'll never come back again." But she didn't expect that.

Lu Huan's next words made her look forward to her future life to the extreme.

He stared at Su Xi with shining eyes and said, "I'm going to your class as a transfer student."

Su Xi was stunned for two seconds. She felt that it was very unreal. She couldn't help but take two steps forward and pinch his face. It was true. But how could he say such nonsense?

Lu Huan suddenly smiled. He picked her up and spun her around in the air. When Su Xi was breathless and put down, he lowered his head and gently kissed Su Xi's forehead. He looked at her and said, "I understand your concerns. I made a request to the imperial court to guard the Imperial Mausoleum for a year. "

"But guarding the Imperial Mausoleum, won't it be very cold? Aren't the guards of the Imperial Mausoleum in TV dramas all green lamps and ascetic Buddhas … "Su Xi's heart suddenly ached. She couldn't tell if she was touched or distressed.

She hugged Lu Huan even tighter.

Lu Huan said in his heart, "It'll be cold if I can't see you often."

But he didn't say it. He felt satisfied as Su Xi hugged him tightly because of heartache. Her soft hair swept across his neck. It was soft and warm.

Everything was silent. The lights of ten thousand houses were lit. Another house was added.

In the past, Lu Huan had never felt the taste of home. But he thought that he had it now. Whether it was in this world or the other world. Home was where she was.

Before Lu Huan bought the house, he carefully checked the information of this world and found that it wasn't as simple as the Yan Dynasty, where one only needed to present money and official documents from the Ministry of Revenue to buy a piece of land and a mansion. It actually required layers of verification and was very cumbersome.

Thus, he started preparing in advance in the middle of last month.

There were two days when he took advantage of Su Xi's afternoon nap and went through the intermediary to look at the house a few times.

The new buildings in this area were all pre-sold houses. If he wanted to buy one, he could only buy a second-hand house. Originally, Lu Huan didn't like second-hand houses very much, but he didn't expect to find a very clean and brand-new house so smoothly.

It was very close to Su Xi's school, so she could come over for an afternoon nap and didn't need to lie on the table to sleep.

Thinking this, Lu Huan felt that this house was very suitable, so he quickly prepared the money.

If he was underage, he would need a guardian whether he bought a house or opened a bank account. It was very troublesome. The intermediary who got Lu Huan his ID said that he could place Lu Huan's resume in the city's welfare home for the past ten years. Then, he could also find an old man with the surname Lu for him. As long as he gave him a sum of money, that person could become his guardian.

However, Lu Huan didn't have any relatives in the Yan Dynasty. In this world, he hoped that his household register only had Su Xi.

Thus, when Lu Huan applied for his ID, he simply pushed back his age by a few months and directly made it look like he had just reached adulthood.

This way, it was clean and efficient and saved a lot of trouble.

When the intermediary saw that this young man actually paid the full amount and didn't ask for a loan from the bank, he was stunned. The previous landlord was afraid that Lu Huan would go back on his word, so he was very cooperative. Thus, the matter was quickly settled. The process of buying the house didn't take more than half a month.

Before the dust settled, Lu Huan was worried that something unexpected would happen, so he didn't tell Su Xi.

When everything was settled, he wanted to bring Su Xi over tonight to give her a surprise.

Su Xi was indeed surprised. She walked around the apartment and looked at every corner excitedly. Her mind was full of how to decorate this place.

After the previous owner of the apartment moved away, Lu Huan had already skillfully ordered cleaning services from five or six companies in the same city. Therefore, the apartment was now clean and tidy, except for the lack of furniture.

Su Xi walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge to take a look. He said excitedly, "Tomorrow after school, we can go to the supermarket and buy some food to fill the fridge!"

She could already imagine the life of slumped on the sofa with Lu Huan, eating potato chips, browsing Weibo, and playing games!

Lu Huan followed behind her and said, "There's also a bed, a table, a lamp, and other furniture. Let's buy them another day."

"There is more!" Su Xi turned around abruptly. The floor had just been waxed, so it was very slippery. She leaned back and almost fell. Lu Huan quickly caught her. Su Xi was so excited that she didn't care about anything else. She looked up and stared at Lu Huan with burning eyes. "Can I raise a cat here?"

Every girl wanted to raise a cute and beautiful kitten. Every time Su Xi went shopping, she couldn't move her feet when she saw the cat cafes and pet shops on the street. However, Su Xi's mother was very obsessed with cleanliness. It was impossible for her to raise a cat. Su Xi had coaxed and pestered her for more than ten years, but to no avail.

However, Su Xi's mother never thought that if she didn't let her daughter raise a cat, someone else would buy a house for her daughter to raise a cat!

Su Xi's heart was surging. She suddenly hugged Lu Huan's waist and wrapped her arms and legs around him. She looked up at him and said, "Lu Huan, let me raise a cat!"

Lu Huan's heart was beating very fast. He couldn't resist at all.

He didn't even think about it. He was about to agree, but the words stopped at the tip of his tongue. If she raised a cat, would she have a new cub? Would she still be able to spare some attention for him?

Lu Huan was very doubtful.

He always felt that Su Xi's love for him was very unreliable. Was it really the kind of love that a girl had for a boy? Could it be that she had changed the mentality of raising a cub from a game to raising a cub in reality?

Su Xi pinched his back and asked, "What's wrong with you? You still don't want to agree? "

"Put on your clothes," Lu Huan reached out and pulled down the pajamas under Su Xi's loose coat to cover her collarbone.

His Adam's apple moved. He looked away and deliberately showed a hesitant look on his face. "Well, I have to think about this."

"You still have to think about it?" Su Xi was angry. What happened to the promise that he would grant her every request? Did his cub grow wings?!

"Then how can you agree?" Su Xi asked.

Lu Huan said, "First, let the cat sleep in the living room or on the balcony. It can't crawl into your bed."

Su Xi thought, "Isn't the purpose of raising a cat to pull out a soft and cute cub from the quilt? Not letting the cat crawl into your bed is simply heartless! Lu Huan, you're heartless! " But who cares? She had to agree first. When the time came, could Lu Huan rush into her room and throw the cat out?

So she smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. I understand. You're afraid that the cat will shed fur. If I dirty the washing machine when I wash the sheets, it will affect your sheets."

Lu Huan, "…"

He thought, "No, you don't understand."

Su Xi asked, "Are there any other conditions? What about the second and third conditions? "

Lu Huan said confidently, "I haven't thought about the second and third conditions yet. When I think about them, I'll find you to fulfill them."

Su Xi was a little speechless. She suspected that Lu Huan had recently used his new phone to read The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber and learned from Zhou Zhiruo. But seeing that the kitten was so close, she agreed to both conditions. Anyway, what else could Lu Huan ask for? Good or bad, he just wanted her to give him a birthday present and eat the food she cooked herself.

That night, after Su Xi was sent home by Lu Huan, she was excited and expectant. She searched the Internet for a regular cattery in the middle of the night, planning to pick up a soft kitten as soon as possible.

Picking up a cat was a lot of work. She had to buy a cat bed, a cat scratching board, cat food, and so on. So after Su Xi finished browsing the cattery, she immediately went to Taobao and happily added a lot of nutrition products to her shopping cart.

Lu Huan changed into the white silk and white hat he wore. After returning to the prince's residence to rest, he couldn't help but open the screen and look at her.

When he saw that she was still staring at the cat on her phone screen at four in the morning with a silly smile, he was speechless.

Although it was true that a gentleman never went back on his word, Lu Huan really regretted agreeing to this.

Before Lu Huan went to the Imperial Mausoleum, he visited the General of Zhenyuan and the Grand Commandant Of Cloud to discuss with them what to do next.

Now that the Crown Prince was grounded, there was a rift in the Prime Minister's faction and they were scattered. The influence of the relatives was not as strong as before, which was exactly what The Emperor wanted. The Second Prince had been dormant for a long time, and now his ambition was gradually coming to the surface. There was bound to be a competition between him and the Fifth Prince.

The capital would not be peaceful, and the situation would only get worse.

Lu Huan stayed in the Imperial Mausoleum for a year. Although it was his own request, outsiders didn't know. They all thought that he was demoted by The Emperor, which made the other princes less vigilant towards him.

This way, when these people were fighting, he could do a lot of other things without being disturbed.

One of them was the unfinished Mission 16, which was to promote the reform of the Yan Dynasty's corvée taxes.

Lu Huan had discussed with the Minister of War. It was almost impossible to reduce the corvée taxes and reduce the pressure on the people in a short time.

If they sent a memorial to the Emperor, it would be thrown back directly.

After all, they had to start from the actual situation. The Yan Dynasty was not a rich land, and the national treasury was not empty. Although the enemies in the north that had been pushed back would not invade for the time being, the Yan Dynasty still needed to build up its military strength just in case. All of these required a lot of money.

To do this, the prerequisite was that the Yan Dynasty's national treasury had to be rich first.

As the saying goes, increase income and reduce expenditure. On one hand, they had to promote the farming techniques of the Yan Dynasty's farmers and increase productivity. On the other hand, they had to start from the corrupt officials. Just like how they found out that the Crown Prince of the East Palace had amassed a lot of wealth, who knew how many greedy people there were in the imperial court. Investigating them one by one would take some time, and they couldn't alert the enemy.

Lu Huan went to the Imperial Mausoleum and used this one year to secretly send his subordinates to do these things.

As for Mission 17, after The Emperor adopted the idea of a curfew and let the various provinces try it out, Lu Huan had already sent out a congratulatory message: [Congratulations on completing Mission 17: Investigate the murder case in the capital, reduce the crime rate, and push it to the various provinces! Reward of gold coins + 3000, reward of points + 15.]

Su Xi and Lu Huan both realized that the missions after 200 points all became very difficult. Almost all of them had to do with improving the policies of the entire Yan Dynasty.

No wonder when Su Xi started doing missions to help Lu Huan gain the Old Madam's appreciation, the System said that the difficulty was only a few stars. Later on, when he was promoted to Rank 4, the difficulty was only around 20 stars!

So the difficulty was at the back!

The current Mission 17 already had a difficulty of 45 stars!

Not to mention Mission 16, which was reducing taxes and promoting reforms, had a difficulty of 65 stars.

That was not even full.

Su Xi was very suspicious of how perverted a mission with a difficulty of 100 stars was.

After completing Mission 17, the total points reached 215. Due to the increase in difficulty, the progress started to slow down. Lu Huan continued to make the System quickly send out Mission 18.

Mission 18: [The Yan Dynasty has never been organized in terms of foreign trade and diplomatic relations. Please reorganize the western region's Hu merchants and set up a foreign trade monitoring organization. The reward of gold coins is 4000, and the reward of points is 18.]

The Yan Dynasty had not grown much these years. The Emperor could not be considered muddle-headed, but he was indeed unable to take care of the Yan Dynasty's economy, people's livelihood, military, and other aspects.

As a result, many merchants from other countries bought many rare woods and herbs from the Yan Dynasty at very low prices. In exchange, they were some beautiful but actually useless gems.

Even many officials were tricked and bought the gems back, only to find that they shattered upon landing.

The foreign trade market was very chaotic. Because the Yan Dynasty took away large amounts of herbs from other countries, they had no choice but to buy them from other countries when they wanted to replenish their national treasury. In the long run, the Yan Dynasty naturally became poorer, while the other countries gradually became richer.

In Su Xi's words, they needed to reverse the Yan Dynasty's situation and turn it into a trade surplus to strengthen the people's livelihood.

Lu Huan accepted Mission 18, but this mission was also a long-term one. He still needed to send some officials to The Emperor to submit a memorial.

He could not rush it for now.

The Zhenyuan General and the others originally thought that Lu Huan was going to guard the imperial mausoleum because he had been demoted by The Emperor, but after Lu Huan's explanation, they understood.

Lu Huan's decision was indeed correct. Currently, the princes in the capital all wanted the throne. Originally, these ambitions could be slightly suppressed, but after Lu Huan returned to the capital as the Ninth Prince, the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince could not hold themselves back. If Lu Huan stayed in the capital, he would definitely have to take on their open and covert attacks.

Lu Huan felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. He would just deal with whatever came his way. But if things continued like this, he would not be able to free himself to do other things. Compared to fighting with them for the position of the Emperor, it was better to spend time on things that would benefit the common people.

They wanted to climb to the throne. This ambition was not wrong, but even if they defeated their opponents one by one and became the Emperor, the people of the Yan Dynasty would still be in danger. The people's hearts would not surrender.

The seven-day funeral in the capital had passed, and the city was covered in white silk.

After the heavy rain stopped, the Imperial Palace sent two columns of Imperial Guards to Lu Huan as a reward, escorting him all the way to the imperial mausoleum.

After all, he was a prince. Guarding the imperial mausoleum could not really be that cold. On the contrary, Lu Huan lived in the Taishan Palace. It was not much different from the princes' residences in the capital, but it was a bit more desolate. Apart from the Imperial Guards stationed there and some Yulin Guards he had brought from the Northern Region, there were no other bustling streets of the capital.

Without the endless stream of officials coming to his door, Lu Huan sent people out, leaving only a trusted servant at his side to take care of him. He began to leisurely seclude himself in seclusion. According to the rules of guarding the imperial mausoleum, he began to copy some scriptures.

On the other side, Su Xi had three days to register for school. She might as well wait until Lu Huan arrived at the Taishan Palace, then wait for him to start school together. After all, there were many things that Lu Huan was still unclear about, and he had not been to her school. Su Xi was afraid that he would get lost.

At around six o 'clock in the morning, Lu Huan came over. After Su Xi waited for him to change his clothes, she pulled him out of the door to do the first thing they had to do before school started.

Cut his hair!

Lu Huan's hair was so long that he would definitely not be able to enter the school gates. The Head of Teaching would definitely stop him.

"Are you sure you want to cut it short?" Su Xi reached out and touched Lu Huan's long black hair. Seeing his calm and composed appearance, she felt more distressed than him. She asked, "Then what about your side? The men of the Yan Dynasty all had jade crowns and long hair. If they found out that your hair was so short, wouldn't it be strange? "

Lu Huan said, "The Taishan Palace is cold and cheerless. Almost no one goes there. I am surrounded by my trusted subordinates. If I want to go down the mountain, I can just wear a light gauze hat. By the time I return to the capital next year, my hair should have grown long. "

Su Xi was still reluctant to part with him. He asked Lu Huan to walk further away and took a few photos of him with long hair. He saved the photos in his phone before bringing him to an online celebrity shop that he had booked in advance.

The two of them entered the shop. It was around eight o 'clock in the morning, and the shop had just opened. There were no other customers except for the stylist.

When Teacher Tony saw Lu Huan, he was shocked. His expression was very exaggerated. "Handsome, what kind of haircut do you want?"

Lu Huan said, "Ask her."

Su Xi searched for a photo of her favorite young idol on her phone and asked the stylist to cut it accordingly. "Can this be cut?"

Teacher Tony hurriedly said, "Of course, and your friend's haircut should look much better than this person in the photo!"

Lu Huan also looked at the photo in Su Xi's phone. A jar of jealousy overflowed in his heart. He said coldly, "I don't want to be compared to this person. Just give me a crew cut."

Su Xi burst out laughing and pressed him down on the chair. "You're more handsome than him!"

Lu Huan's expression softened slightly.

Teacher Tony began to cut Lu Huan's hair. Su Xi took the opportunity to go out and eat a bowl of wontons. After eating and walking around, Lu Huan happened to take off the apron covering his body and stood up as soon as he walked in. Su Xi's gaze fell on his face and was stunned.

Lu Huan was already handsome enough when he had long hair. His every movement carried an ancient aura. But after getting a clean cut, it seemed like a completely different feeling. His eyes were dark and piercingly cold. The moment he stood up, he was as tall and straight as a white poplar in the wind. After losing some of the temperament of a thousand years, he looked like a clean big boy who always stood out from the crowd in all the schools. However, compared to all the good-looking people, he added a cold and straight temperament.

Su Xi suspected that as soon as he entered the school, he would be posted on all the major school forums and become the city's most handsome man.

If it was even more exaggerated, someone might even submit it to WeChat's most handsome bot.

Su Xi began to want to hide him.

Lu Huan felt a chill on his neck. He was very unaccustomed to not having his hair draped over his shoulders. He couldn't help but touch his hedgehog head.

He walked towards Su Xi and asked, "Do I look like someone from here now?"

His long legs took a step towards her. Su Xi was about to faint.

Su Xi didn't have time to answer him. Seeing that even Teacher Tony couldn't help but stare at Lu Huan, she hurriedly grabbed Lu Huan's hand and left the online celebrity shop.

After cutting his hair short, the two returned downstairs. Lu Huan was waiting downstairs. Su Xi sneaked up and packed Lu Huan's clothes and other things in a box. She took it downstairs and gave it to him.

These things were placed in Su Xi's room. She always felt like a ticking time bomb. She was afraid that her mother, who was cleaning, would find them one day. Now that she let Lu Huan take them to the apartment over there, she finally felt relieved.

Next, the two of them split up.

Lu Huan went to deal with the school transfer procedures. Su Xi went home to pack her things. Her mother sent her to the dormitory in the afternoon.

Su Xi thought that she would be able to see Lu Huan in school in the future. She might even be able to ask the teacher to arrange for them to be deskmates. She was unusually excited. She only felt that the weather was bright and beautiful, and her footsteps were very light. Her mother helped her pack her things. Seeing that she was still humming, she felt incredulous. Su Xi was always depressed when school started. Why was she so excited today?

Her mother asked, "What are you so happy about?"

Su Xi replied without blushing or skipping a beat, "I'm so excited when I think about how I'll be able to immerse myself in my third year of high school and forget to eat and sleep!"

Her mother was speechless.

She was very pleased and rewarded Su Xi with an extra drumstick at noon. In the afternoon, she asked her father to come back and drive them to school. Cars weren't allowed in school. Her father had something to do, so he left first. Her mother and Su Xi went to the classroom to register. After hearing a few words of praise from the head teacher, they got their keys and dragged their suitcases to the dormitory building.

Before leaving, Su Xi secretly glanced at the head teacher's registration form. However, she didn't see Lu Huan's name. She wanted to flip the page to take a look, but the head teacher put down her teacup and turned around. She quickly put down the registration form with a guilty conscience.

There were several dormitory buildings in total. They were divided into the female dormitory and the male dormitory.

There were parents and students coming and going. It was a little chaotic because it was hard to tell who was who at a glance.

Her mother pulled her suitcase while Su Xi carried her schoolbag. They walked to the dormitory building. However, when they reached the ground floor, her mother looked at the stairs and was dumbfounded. "Which floor is your dormitory on?"

Su Xi looked at the key plate number. "506 … fifth floor."

She quickly stepped forward and took her suitcase. "Let me do it. Mom, your waist isn't good. Take it easy."

"Let me do it. Let me do it. Xixi, put it down." Her mother felt sorry for her daughter and said unhappily, "Why is your dormitory on such a high floor? Won't it be tiring to climb up and down? Put it down. Don't torture yourself. Let me do it. "

Her mother wanted to take her suitcase, but Su Xi had already lifted it with both hands and moved it up a few steps.

At this moment, her mother suddenly heard a clear and pleasant boy's voice coming from behind her. "Su Xi, let me help you."

Before she could react, she saw a tall and handsome boy striding over. He was so tall and handsome that all the aunties in the community stopped dancing. He carried Su Xi's suitcase with one hand and looked very relaxed. After glancing at the schoolbag on Su Xi's back, he casually took off Su Xi's schoolbag.

He raised his head and looked at her. He smiled gently and politely. "Hello, are you … Su Xi's older sister? I'm her classmate. "

Su Xi was speechless.

Drama queen!

She cursed in her heart and turned around to look at her mother. She saw that her mother was grinning from ear to ear. Her mother tucked her hair behind her ear. "Why are you so obedient? How am I your older sister? I'm Xixi's mother."

Lu Huan seemed to have offended her and immediately became a little uneasy. "Hello, aunty. I'm sorry."

Before she could finish, her mother said with understanding and tolerance, "It's okay. I do look younger. Then, I'll leave it to you. Thank you so much. What's your name?"

Lu Huan looked at Su Xi. There was a hint of a triumphant smile in his dark eyes that only Su Xi could understand. "Lu Huan."

He carried Su Xi's suitcase and walked up the stairs. He walked very easily, but out of courtesy, he was always a few steps ahead of Su Xi and her mother. From time to time, he would stop and wait for her.

Her mother watched from behind and suddenly poked Su Xi's arm. "It seems that I'm really young. Do I look younger with my recently styled hair? But your classmate seems to have good grades. When he's free, let him come to our house as a guest. "

Su Xi was speechless.

Mother, where are your principles?
