Chapter 150 Speeding Along the Curve
Sure enough, thinking that the young lady would behave well at night was just wishful thinking. It was past nine o'clock at night when this guy asked Lu Ren to get some medicine.
Although Lu Ren considered it his duty as a servant to fulfill his boss's requests, at night he would flatter himself a little, feeling that in addition to being a subordinate, he also had the responsibility of a guardian.
Such a request is naturally rejected. What are you thinking?
"Please take it, please take it! Lu Ren, please, Lu Ren~"
"Look, my former junior high school classmates are all asking me what happened."

"Isn't this like I got dumped? That's so lame!"
"Yada yada!"
Haruka the hamster might become willful, but she's not actually stupid. After realizing that throwing a tantrum wouldn't work, she suddenly stood still and squatted on the ground, looking very sad.
Lu Ren walked straight past her, ignoring her. She quickly got up and chased after him, throwing a tantrum again.
"Mo! Lu Ren—"
He reminded Shen Yaoxing that clansmen might appear at any time, but Shen Yaoxing had a pig-like sense of perception, and she could react immediately no matter where people appeared from.
She would sometimes hug his arm and then squat down to stop him from leaving, and sometimes she would clench her little fists and punch his waist repeatedly.
The chibi-style young lady throws a tantrum around him, her arms flailing like a blur, and she speaks like a child, saying many adorable things.
Lu Ren said helplessly, "Don't even think about it, Miss. Besides, Yanzhou is so big, we don't even know which hotel they're in right now."
"Idiot Lu Ren!" she was imitating Lu Youhe.
Shen Yaoxing snorted twice, a smug look on her face, clearly having already planned it: "I can use the clan's resources to investigate their spending records, find the hotel they're staying at, and then bribe the receptionist to leak their room number!"
"—This should be a crime, right?"
"We'll secretly slip the drug into their room, then hide two cameras in the window to record their crimes, and then come back tomorrow to threaten them—"
"This is outright criminal."
Shen Yaoxing looked at him with disgust. "You also think they committed a crime, right? They're only 18, barely adults, and they dared to book a hotel room! It's outrageous! I haven't even had a boyfriend yet!"
"I mean you're committing a crime."
"What? Me? How could that be! It was just a prank, just a prank!"
They had already begun their journey into the clan's territory when suddenly a puzzled yet charming female voice rang out: "Eh, Sister Yaoxing!?"
Suddenly, a little girl, about eleven or twelve years old and a bit dirty, appeared at a bend in the road.
Lu Ren hardly needed to look; the person who was throwing a tantrum like a three-year-old just a second ago had instantly transformed into a dignified, elegant, intellectual, and gentle perfect young lady.
She was still wearing that evening gown, a light pink dress with a moon-white sash tied loosely in a large bow at the waist, rising and falling with her breath.
Her skirt reached her knees, billowing in the evening breeze before settling back down, softly clinging to the backs of her legs. Today, she was also wearing white stockings that went past her knees, the girl's slender legs encased in the stockings, their graceful curves fully revealed in the night. Her delicate feet rested on a pair of high heels adorned with woven flowers and lace.
Her hair wasn't combed much, with a few stray strands hanging by her ears and blowing in the wind onto her face. She raised her hand to brush them aside, her fingertips also pink.
Although Lu Ren had been automatically applying a hamster filter to this beautiful girl in his mind, the so-called filter was just an image. In fact, the one who had been throwing a tantrum at him was never a chibi-style character, but the beautiful woman in front of him.
Shen Yaoxing reached up and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looking at the little girl and asking, "Xiao Yu? It's so late, why aren't you going home to rest?"
There are some differences, though. The tone and voice have changed. Shen Yaoxing's voice is very gentle now, like a neighborly older sister who greets you every morning, a year or two older than you. She is gentle and intellectual.
Shen Yu looked puzzled and scratched his head: "Huh, I just heard a strange sound. I wonder who was talking over here? It sounded like a little kid making noise?"
Shen Yaoxing remained calm and composed, simply smiling and saying, "It was your brother Lu Ren who was just on the phone with his sister."
Xiaoyu tilted her head slightly, her side ponytail swaying back and forth, and asked in confusion, "Is that so?"
Lu Ren sighed inwardly. "Young Miss, lying is a bad quality," he thought, looking at the little girl without blinking, and blurted out, "Yeah, my sister's always causing trouble—Xiao Yu, why are you all dirty?"
This little girl named Shen Yu is Shen Wangshu's grand-nephew, and Lu Ren has gotten to know her a little over the past two weeks.
Unlike Shen Yaoxing, who is a grand-niece in terms of family lineage, Shen Yu is the granddaughter of Shen Wangshu, her own brother. In terms of status, she is probably a young lady of high birth in Linjiang, just like Shen Yaoxing.
Shen Yu immediately puffed up her cheeks, feeling extremely indignant, and said, "It makes me so angry just thinking about it! Gu Linfeng couldn't beat me, so he actually called on his cousin, who's in vocational high school, to ambush me after school. His cousin is a professional, yet he still had the nerve to fight me! He's shameless!"
Lu Ren found it somewhat amusing. Adults usually wouldn't interfere in these squabbles between the sons of noble families. It seemed that this little guy had gotten into a fight with someone from the Gu family.
"Xiaoyu can also ask the older brothers and sisters in the clan to stand up for you, right?"
"I've asked them, but they all refuse. Not only do they not help their own people, they even insulted me."
Lu Ren asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Shen Yu wiped the dust off her face and said angrily, "They all say that I bully my classmates at school and collect protection money from them."
"Did you accept it?"

"Take it!"
"If you accepted it, don't act so self-righteous!"
The little girl looked up at Lu Ren, then suddenly grabbed his arm and pleaded, "Brother Lu Ren, please help me get revenge! I'll give you half of the protection money I collected!"
This girl was very outgoing; she immediately wrapped her arms and legs around Lu Ren's arms and wouldn't let go.
Lu Ren was extremely disgusted, looking like he had encountered something dirty, and kept pulling his arm away.
Shen Yu knew that Lu Ren was a powerful general recruited by Shen Yaoxing. He was very strong and had reached the Fire Realm at the age of seventeen. He was definitely a genius among geniuses. It would be a piece of cake for him to beat up Gu Linfeng's cousin!
Looking at her throwing a tantrum, which was almost identical to Shen Yaoxing's earlier behavior, Lu Ren could only say that they were truly sisters.
He felt like there was a piece of chewing gum wrapped around his arm that he couldn't shake off; kids this age are the most annoying.
"Go away, go away, don't bother coming back."
"Brother Lu Ren, please, Brother Lu Ren, I know you're the best."
Just then, Shen Yaoxing reached out and took the little girl off Lu Ren.
She said gently, "I can't trouble you, Brother Lu Ren. Also, you can't bully your classmates at school."
This kind of gentle older sister type is someone Shen Yu can't handle, so she can only helplessly agree.
Shen Yaoxing patted her head and said with a smile, "Go back and rest early. You have school tomorrow, right?"
"Understood, Haruka-neechan————"
Shen Yu was about to leave, but looking at the two people in front of her, she suddenly asked, "Sister, are you back from a date with Brother Lu Ren?"
Shen Yaoxing was taken aback. "A date?!"
"Yeah, are you two dating? Every time I see you, it feels like you're on a date."
Lu Ren was speechless. He waved his hand to shoo the brat away: "What nonsense are you talking about? I've already told you I'm your sister Yaoxing's servant—"
However, upon hearing Shen Yu's words, Shen Yaoxing suddenly fell silent.
Is that so? So, in other people's eyes, it seems like I'm on a date with Lu Ren?
She glanced at Lu Ren, then at Shen Yu, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Lu Ren again with a sigh and a hint of reproach, saying, "You've already been seen through, yet you still try to hide it. That's so unmanly of you."
Lu Ren: "————" Shen Yaoxing often talks nonsense at night, but the young lady's current appearance is the same as during the day.
Is this guy the perfect young lady, or the hamster Shen Yaoxing? Is the hamster Shen Yaoxing disguised as the perfect young lady, or the perfect young lady disguised as the hamster Shen Yaoxing?
I can't tell the difference, Miss, I really can't tell the difference!
Wow!
Hearing this, Shen Yu's eyes widened, and she asked, "Do you two kiss normally? Is it like in TV dramas?"
""
Shen Yaoxing was a little helpless, but still answered the little girl gently, with just the right amount of shyness: "Well, if the atmosphere is right—yes."
"Will you have a baby?"
"It's too early to talk about that now; perhaps it will happen in the future?"
Seeing that the young lady was talking nonsense, Lu Ren could no longer hold back and quickly chased the brat away.
After the outsiders left, Lu Ren looked at Shen Yaoxing, whose size had shrunk back to that of a chibi-style figure, and said helplessly, "There's a limit to nonsense, okay? Why talk such rubbish to a little kid?"
Her round face and childlike voice made her argue, "What nonsense am I talking about? Didn't you kiss me?"
"That happened suddenly, and it wasn't because you asked me to kiss you, Miss."
"Then stick out your tongue and bite me!"
"Let's be reasonable, okay? How am I supposed to bite you if you don't extend your hand, Miss?"
Shen Yaoxing was secretly angry, "So what were you thinking back then in the bathroom—"
Even the shameless Lu Ren was getting anxious, and he quickly stopped her: "We agreed that once we leave Dongtian Mountain, no one is allowed to mention this!"
""
You can still deny it to the death before, but exposing your true self is too terrifying, especially when the original owner knows exactly how you fantasize about the other person. It's a hundred times more terrifying than having your study materials made public!
"Daring to do it but not daring to take responsibility —"
"Young Miss, didn't you think about it yourself? I also know you like—"
"Lu Ren Lu Ren Lu Ren Lu Ren!"
She hurriedly called his name and then covered his mouth. Seeing the girl's flustered appearance, Lu Ren realized that even the hamster-like young lady knew shame. She knew she was about to say something terrible, so she was anxious and impatient to stop him from saying it.
Lu Ren couldn't help but laugh. He didn't mind teasing her at this moment. The young lady's flustered appearance was very cute. The girl's heels clicked on the stone pavement, her skirt fluttered, and her white silk-clad legs were light and graceful.
Arriving at the courtyard, he smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Keep your voice down. We're at your room now, get some rest."
"I haven't told a story yet. I haven't told a story tonight. What if I can't sleep later?"
She seemed to be coquettishly pleading with Lu Ren, but Lu Ren had gotten to know her better in the past two or three months. Children say things that sound like they're being coquettish; these days, young ladies are just like children.
"Then go take a shower."
39
"I'm so tired, Lu Ren, can you help me wash?"
Lu Ren replied nonchalantly, "Sure."
"Perverted Lu Ren!"
The little hamster punched him, then ran off in a strange manner, rushing to the bathroom, as if afraid he would really follow, but also looking very excited.
"I'm going to take a shower. Leave my clothes outside the door, and don't peek!"
The young lady seemed quite pleased, then suddenly hummed twice and said, "Lu Ren, I actually know, you actually like me, right?"
Lu Ren glanced at her and skillfully went to find her a nightgown. "I like you, I like you so much."
"Lu Ren, don't you find this strange?"
Shen Yaoxing stood in front of the door, looking somewhat confused: "Lu Ren, look, back then, because of my aunt's request, we pretended to be in a relationship for a while to deceive Sister Zhao Zhao, right?"
Then, in our daily lives, it seems we really have no boundaries. How can you just casually enter a girl's bedroom? You even kissed me when we were in Dongtianshan, and you were thinking all sorts of crazy things in your mind.
And then there are them. First it was Xiaoying, who always looked at us with strange eyes. Then it was Youhe and Ali, and then Bailu. Even those two idiots, Yu Zaomian and Longyou, felt that we weren't just ordinary friends.
Now even Xiaoyu, this little girl, actually thinks we're dating.
Look, you said you liked me a lot, and we pretended to be dating, but to everyone else it looked like we were really dating, and we did things that only couples do.
She paused, looking into Lu Ren's eyes with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Then why don't we just start dating?"
".——"
Lu Ren knew that before Shen Yaoxing became a professional, she was busy learning this and that. After becoming a professional, she was busy cultivating to improve her strength and also had to take on some clan affairs.
But deep down, the young lady is still a little girl. She still likes Ah-Ku, likes journaling, likes reading and listening to stories, wants to have more topics to talk about with her peers, and wants others to say things like, "Shen Yaoxing actually has a boyfriend. She's so mature," which only she thinks is cool.
Lu Renxin was exhausted. He had already realized that Shen Yaoxing didn't know what love was or what liking someone meant. She was just a girl who watched her peers start to have crushes, start talking about love, and treat love as a fashion item.
He asked, "Miss, if we were to fall in love, what would be the first thing you would do?"
Shen Yaoxing immediately perked up, clenching her fists. "That definitely means going to a hotel, taking pictures, and posting them on WeChat! Oh, and you have to post them with me too!"
Lu Ren smiled with relief. Just as he had thought, but that was also part of the young lady's charm.
He wasn't the only one laughing. In Lu Ren's mind, he saw his master laughing unrestrainedly, saying how could he have such a foolish descendant, and even urging Lu Ren to agree to her request, saying that after tricking her into bed, they could have a grandparent-grandchild play.
He promptly silenced someone's nonsense; it seemed that everyone in the Shen family liked to say strange things.
"If you can shower, get dressed, and lie down in bed within 15 minutes, I'll tell you a story for an extra 20 minutes tonight."
The chibi-style character hurriedly rushed into the bathroom.
