C4 – The Bold Lu Xiaoya

“Big Brother Xiaoloong, are you really not going back to Yanjing with me?”

On a remote village road outside Qinghe Village, Lu Xiaoya raised her head slightly, filled with anticipation, and asked a question.

“I won’t be going,” Zhang Xiaoloong replied as he continued walking. Ever since learning about the engagement between their families, he felt awkward being alone with Lu Xiaoya. “If my health improves, I might consider going next year.”

It wasn’t that Zhang Xiaoloong didn’t want to go to college. He simply didn’t understand what was happening to his body.

Over the past few days, whenever he felt his chest warming up, he would immediately retreat and hide. He feared others might notice his glowing and darkening appearance.

If he were to attend university in this condition, he would risk being dissected and scrutinized under a microscope.

“Well, if...” Lu Xiaoya suddenly realized her words were inappropriate and quickly stuck out her tongue, offering a mischievous smile. “You’ll definitely recover very soon.”

“I hope so,” Zhang Xiaoloong thought. In truth, he was perfectly fine in every other way, except for the glowing issue. “I haven’t properly thanked you for helping me apply for the suspension.”

Lu Xiaoya grinned playfully. “So, how do you plan to thank me? Don’t tell me you’ll just say ‘thank you’ and forget about it? I saved a top scholar from the Gold Department!”

“Top scorer in the Gold Department? Come on, he’s just a bit lucky to have scored slightly higher. If he took the exam again, he might not even get admitted,” Zhang Xiaoloong modestly replied.

Previously, he took great pride in being known as the golden science scholar. However, after facing a life and death situation, his reputation no longer held much significance.

“That won’t cut it. You’re just saying that to avoid giving me credit. But I won’t let you off the hook so easily. I want you to thank me properly,” Lu Xiaoya’s tone felt a bit coquettish. She recalled her roommates’ comments that girls tend to use this kind of tone when talking to someone they like, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoloong didn’t notice Lu Xiaoya’s bashful demeanor at that moment. She looked more beautiful than ever, but he simply smiled genuinely and said, “Alright, I’ll properly thank you when you’re on vacation during the New Year. What kind of delicious food do you want? My mother will make it for you.”

Despite being a smart person, Zhang Xiaoloong found himself touching a girl’s soft body with her unique aura for the first time. He felt a buzzing sensation in his head, freezing him in place.

“Big Brother Xiaoloong, I like you!”

Recalling the advice her roommates had given her, Lu Xiaoya mustered her courage. She couldn’t let a good man who liked her slip away easily. With shyness, she bit her lip and spoke those words, even daring to stand on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on his lips.

“I, I, I... I...” Zhang Xiaoloong was at a loss for words after being bombarded with a series of surprises.

Amused by Zhang Xiaoloong’s even shyer response, Lu Xiaoya channeled the fierce spirit of a village girl and said, “Well, I just like you, no matter what!”

Zhang Xiaoloong fell silent for a moment, his blushing face gradually regaining composure along with his thoughts. “What do you like about me? Being a top scorer in the college entrance exam is just an occasional high score. If I weren’t a top scorer, if I were just a farmer working at home, would you still like me?”

“I...” Lu Xiaoya could not help but hesitate for a moment.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoloong hesitate, a serene smile crept onto his face. “We’re still too young. Perhaps, a few years down the line, you’ll realize how naive your current thoughts are.”

“I won’t,” Lu Xiaoya retorted immediately. “But what if, even after a few years, I still have feelings for you? Would you... be willing to be with me?”

“I can’t give you an answer right now because I don’t know what the future holds,” Zhang Xiaoloong replied vaguely.

“Big Brother Xiaoloong, have you ever had feelings for me? Even just once?” Lu Xiaoya mustered her courage and gazed intently at him.

Zhang Xiaoloong’s face turned red once more. After all, who didn’t have some innocent crushes in their youth? “I never paid much attention to such matters.”

Lu Xiaoya looked at his blushing face and finally smiled with satisfaction. “Big Brother Xiaoloong, then what are your plans for this year at home?”

Zhang Xiaoloong took a deep breath and then relaxed. His eyes sparkled as he replied, “What else can I do in the countryside? Everyone calls me the top scholar in the gold subjects. I believe that within a year, I can become the top farming scholar in Qinghe Village!”
