Chapter 11: Too Much Is As Bad As Too Little

It was unclear whether Mo Yuqing saw Chen Lu first or Chen Lu saw Mo Yuqing.

In any case, both of them were stunned for a moment.

“Just remember to urge them, but be polite. You know, you can’t hit a smiling face.” Chen Lu continued talking as if he hadn’t seen her, finishing his sentence.

Then, he silently brought in the props and sound equipment, connected them to the computer, and tested the sound.

He didn’t say a word to Mo Yuqing the whole time.

After dealing with other miscellaneous items, he tested whether the sound equipment was working properly.

Chen Lu stood in front of the computer, tapping his mouse with his fingers, feeling speechless.

He really had bad luck.

Li Sinian, you’re a real jerk.

However, Chen Lu didn’t know that his actions were like a god descending to earth for the dance club girls who had been worried about this for several days.

Not to mention that he handled everything so smoothly and effortlessly by himself.

These freshman girls only saw a handsome and gentle senior who was also eloquent.

In the mind of Liu Yan, who didn’t know the truth, this incident had a different version.

How did Chen Lu know? Did he come to help on his own initiative?

Did he plan to continue pursuing Mo Yuqing?

She was unsure about this guess. Although Chen Lu did help, judging from his behavior in the cafeteria, he seemed to have truly given up.

After the sound equipment successfully played music, Chen Lu quietly turned down the volume.

“Senior is so cool! Thank you!” Several girls cheered.

Chen Lu smiled and nodded slightly, responding with a perfunctory “keep practicing,” then turned and left.

There were other groups and various problems waiting for him to solve.

Sigh, being a dad is hard.

Looking at Chen Lu’s back, Mo Yuqing slightly opened her mouth, her cold and beautiful eyes blinking.

Contrary to her expectations, Chen Lu didn’t come to apologize before leaving, and he didn’t even speak to her.

Come on, apologize already!

Before she could recover, a junior grabbed her phone and ran after him.

Seeing the junior chasing after him, Mo Yuqing’s heart inexplicably tightened.

It was as if a hand was scratching at her heart, making her feel inexplicably restless and agitated.

Her breathing became slightly rapid.

Soon, she saw the junior returning with a somewhat dejected expression, and she inexplicably felt relieved.

“Ugh, I didn’t get his WeChat.”

“Maybe he’s not interested in you. Such a good senior should already have a girlfriend.”

“I remember, this senior seemed to be walking out of school with a girl from our class… I saw them one afternoon!” One girl said, then scratched her head, “But that girl didn’t look very good, she kept her head down all the time.”

“But the senior said… he just got rejected, so he’s not in the mood for anything…” The girl who wanted to get his WeChat mumbled softly.

“Are you kidding? Such a good senior would get rejected? Is that girl stupid?”

The discussion continued.

“Okay, keep practicing!” Mo Yuqing frowned slightly, interrupting their discussion.

Liu Yan leaned towards Mo Yuqing, speechless for a while before whispering again, “See? You better think carefully, there are plenty of girls who are trying to get close to Chen Lu!”

“He looked at you first when he walked in, I guarantee you can still turn things around if you lower your head. You really need to be careful, you’ll regret it later…”

“If you have feelings for him, take a step back… I don’t want to see you sad in the future.”

Liu Yan said these words because she could see Mo Yuqing’s dislike when she saw someone trying to get Chen Lu’s WeChat.

Her level in this area was much higher than ordinary people, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to control the sea king Jiang Chao before.

To be honest, even she couldn’t figure out what was going on in Mo Yuqing’s mind, but she was sure of one thing – Mo Yuqing would definitely regret it.

Mo Yuqing didn’t say anything. The way she kept twirling her black and silky hair with her fingers showed that she was very confused.

Is it really not too late? Can I just lower my head once?

Can I go back to how it was before?

She thought about Chen Lu always being by her side, thought about the good morning and good night messages she hadn’t received in days…

This thought was like candy, making Mo Yuqing unconsciously swallow.

But does that mean I have to be with him?

But do I like him?

Mo Yuqing didn’t have the answer.

She felt like she had never liked anyone.

After a mental struggle, she seemed to have made a decision.

Under Liu Yan’s slightly expectant gaze, Mo Yuqing gently bit her lower lip and slowly spoke:

“Impossible.”

Mo Yuqing had never lowered her head in her whole life.

She would wait for him to apologize.

……

Chen Lu had been running around all morning, feeling that many freshmen were spoiled brats.

He had a quick lunch in the cafeteria, took a call to vent his anger at Li Sinian, and continued to work in the afternoon.

One dad and two seafood buffets were worth all the trouble.

He looked at the messages on his phone, thinking about which group of clumsy kids he should help next.

The drama club’s program was a stage play?

Interesting, aren’t they afraid of social death?

Chen Lu didn’t understand.

Everyone dies, but they can’t die from social death.

He walked around the playground, seeing couples cuddling in public, expressing his contempt for all the single dogs.

Suddenly, a girl dressed in a strange outfit jumped in front of him, poking him with a fan.

“Senior, hello!”

The girl’s voice was lively and cute, but her cosplay outfit made Chen Lu unable to recognize her.

“Who are you?” Chen Lu asked.

“.…..I’m Lin Miaomiao.”

Chen Lu took a few steps back, looking at the parasol in front of him, and realized that this was the gathering place for the drama club.

So he sat down on a white plastic chair under the parasol, looking for someone.

Liang Zhirou said she would help last night, so she should be here.

He was a little embarrassed for not recognizing her, but he quickly had an idea.

“I know, I’m asking who you’re cosplaying as.”

“Shenhe, does it look good? I just got the C-costume today, so I just wore it out to play.” Lin Miaomiao made a scissor-hand gesture and took a selfie.

“Yeah, yeah, it looks good.”

Chen Lu praised her verbally, but his eyes were looking at the girl who was working seriously in the distance.

Lin Miaomiao naturally noticed this as well, and she pouted in annoyance and laughter, not saying anything more about it.

She knew that although she was a little flat in the front and her figure was too “youthful and energetic,” her appearance wasn’t bad.

However, who could blame Liang Zhirou for being so eye-catching!

Chen Lu just sat on the chair and watched, waiting for the silly Liang Zhirou to notice him.

Then, just like watching “typing…” that night, ten minutes passed and nothing happened.

Everyone else is taking a break, but you’re still working hard!

Are you stupid? You’re here to help!

Are you a cow?!

Liang Zhirou didn’t chat with the people around her, she just kept helping to set things up.

She was moving tables, foam props, he really didn’t know what this drama club was going to do.

Chen Lu was anxious, regretting not going to help at the beginning.

“You’re in the drama club, right? Liang Zhirou should be here to help, so why are you slacking off here?” Chen Lu asked with raised eyebrows.

“I’m not feeling well.” Lin Miaomiao smiled lightly, not saying anything more.

She casually changed the topic: “Speaking of which, are you here to find Liang Zhirou? How did you know she was here?”

Chen Lu shook his head, “Huh? I don’t know. I’m here to help, Li Sinian couldn’t come because he had something to do.”

Then he cleared his throat, “Do you guys have any problems here?”

Lin Miaomiao wanted to kill him.

Helping… ?

Then you’re sitting there for half a day, making me stand on the side?!

Are you polite?

Are you even human?

“Senior, you’re here to help, but you’re still sitting there? I thought you were here to play!

This is my seat!” Lin Miaomiao angrily confronted Chen Lu, her tiger teeth very prominent.

“Well, don’t you have Liang Zhirou helping you?”

Chen Lu said half-jokingly.

“She’s so nice to you, she’s so busy with her part-time job but she still has time to help you.”

If it were the silly Liang Zhirou, she wouldn’t have understood Chen Lu’s meaning, but Lin Miaomiao was different.

Lin Miaomiao immediately understood, and although she was being sarcastic, she didn’t get upset, instead a smile appeared on her face, “I’m going to treat her to a big meal after we’re done! Improve our diet.”

Then she also looked at the busy figure, “Although we’re both working, this environment is different from a part-time job, it’s a kind of relaxation.”

Chen Lu nodded slightly, not saying anything more.

He guessed that Liang Zhirou wouldn’t necessarily agree to be treated to a meal for no reason.

Lin Miaomiao was really a quirky person.

“She’s very pitiful, but she’s very strong.” The smile on Lin Miaomiao’s face suddenly disappeared.

The originally cheerful girl suddenly became serious.

It was like a different person.

“Senior, you’re so bad, that senior named Mo Yuqing and Liang Zhirou are probably the two most beautiful girls in our school.”

Chen Lu’s eyebrows twitched, and he secretly chuckled in his heart.

She knows a lot.

“When I went to help at the beginning, I didn’t even see what she looked like.” Chen Lu told the truth.

“She shouldn’t be so beautiful.” Lin Miaomiao made a camera gesture with her hands, framing Liang Zhirou’s figure, “She’s very fragile, probably anyone can easily hurt her, so I don’t want any random people to enter her life.

She’s very low-key, which is the right choice. This was a secret that not many people knew, but you found out…”

Then she smiled at Chen Lu again, “It’s good that you seem to be a good person.”

“What do you mean ‘seems’?” Chen Lu complained, and he had a general idea about Lin Miaomiao.

It seemed like she was good to Liang Zhirou.

“If you were only interested in her because of her appearance, then you wouldn’t be a good person.” Lin Miaomiao poked him with her fan again, “Tell me! Why are you so good to our Liang Zhirou!”

“Because she’s the only girl who’s willing to wait for me.” Lin Miaomiao pretended to be joking, but Chen Lu, who was pretending to be joking, became serious instead.

“And, she gives me candy.”

Seeing Liang Zhirou finally walking towards them, Lin Miaomiao’s mood inexplicably became a little low, and she mumbled with her head down, “I hope you do better than me. We’re her few friends, it’s hard for anyone else to get into her heart.”

When Liang Zhirou walked closer, Lin Miaomiao quickly changed the topic, “Do you want to come and help with her? I’ll treat you both to dinner later.”

Chen Lu blinked, “Can I eat even if I don’t help? I have a bad stomach, I’m suitable for eating soft rice.”
