Chapter 209: University Students (Part 2)
Lu Shu brought Lu Xiaoyu over to platform 2. Didn’t the movies always show kids being abducted here? For example, a stranger giving you a bottle of spiked drink.
Or scamming and abducting women to be sold off as wives in a land far away.
Judging from Lu Xiaoyu’s face value, she had to be more careful when she’s outside. Some people say that being attractive is an innate crime. Why? Lu Shu didn’t really agree. How could being attractive be a crime? Who didn’t care about looks in the world now?
If there was any mistake, it had to be human nature.
Of course, this sort of matter could not be analyzed just by superficial means. Considering Lu Xiaoyu’s current ability, having completed the fourth star of the second nebula, just one behind than Lu Shu, she could already be considered a class D strength type metahuman.
Lu Shu suddenly thought about the news that whenever women were abducted, their villagers would become more alert and look after one another. Initially, the women could seek help from so many people, but in the end, they were surrounded by black-hearted villains.
If this was the case, Lu Xiaoyu would probably destroy them…
But those, in reality, were just thoughts. Lu Shu would never allow such a thing to happen under his watch. How could he ever let Lu Xiaoyu be abducted?
If Lu Xiaoyu was abducted, it would be his lifelong shame. Taking care of Lu Xiaoyu was his natural responsibility as her guardian.
Yeah, now that they had solved the issue of household registration, Lu Shu was Lu Xiaoyu’s official guardian although he was not even 18 yet. It was actually weird now that he thought about it. He was probably the first ever 17-year-old guardian? If laws were really imposed, this probably did not fulfill the regulations.
“We have one middle bunk and one lower bunk. Which one do you want to sleep in?” Lu Shu asked as he looked at the tickets.
“The middle bunk,” Lu Xiaoyu responded, “I’ll swap with you if it’s uncomfortable.”
“Alright,” Lu Shu had no objections. Towards such minor aspects, Lu Shu would just do whatever Lu Xiaoyu pleased.
At this moment, a woman’s voice suddenly filled the platform, “Attention all passengers… Train t204 towards Wumu City is about to…”
“Let’s go, it’s our train,” Lu Shu held Lu Xiaoyu and walked towards the ticket inspection counter. Just as they stood up, they noticed Little Fury climbing the glass windows towards the lobby. It even waved excitedly as it saw Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu.
Although when it realized that it had to learn 80 words every day, it could tolerate all that… for the refresher fruit.
In fact, Little Fury felt that it was living quite well now. Although Lu Shu forced it to learn new words, it was generally happy living under the care of Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu. For some reason, Little Fury felt like it was part of a family under that tiny roof in Luo Cheng.
Although Lu Xiaoyu was rather stingy with her tidbits usually, Lu Shu would often prepare stuff that Little Fury liked during mealtimes and even prepare a bowl for it on the table instead of haphazardly preparing a meal on the floor.
As Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu went through the ticketing counter, Little Fury hopped onto Lu Xiaoyu’s shoulder. To her delight, she retrieved a pack of potato chips from her bag and opened it, handing one piece to Little Fury, “Here!”
In the past, they lacked food and clothing, and Lu Xiaoyu shared her chips in halves. Now that they were better off, she shared her chips in whole pieces!
When the green train entered the station, Lu Shu brought them to carriage 12. Lu Xiaoyu was filled with curiosity as it was their first time encountering such a large machine.
As they stepped into the bunker carriage, it didn’t look very messy. At least much better than what they watched on ‘Lost on Journey’ a few days ago.
It was precisely after watching ‘Lost on Journey’ on 4th June with Lu Xiaoyu did Lu Shu decide to buy the bunker tickets. The conditions of the seated carriage were really too devastating… Moreover, it was a 22-hour journey and Lu Shu felt that he wouldn’t make it if he didn’t buy the bunker tickets.
It wasn’t that his body couldn’t take it, but the chi he was controlling…
He now needed a quieter place, now that he could more or less gauge the tempo of the chi cloud. But this was still a rough gauge.
Every drop of water from his cloud would cause huge movements in his chi. Previously, Lu Shu thought that he could get used to it slowly but it was not the case at all!
The chi cloud was slowly turning into rain droplets, and the rain droplets would gather into a stream. Controlling a stream was far more difficult than suppressing the chi.
Moreover, he was still eating chi fruits!
Lu Shu looked at the different bunks to look for their bottom bunk. When he found it, he saw two guys and two girls playing cards on their bunks, two on each bunk. The guy and girl on the bottom bunk were wearing matching tees.
These people probably knew each other. They seemed like university students. It was quite easy to tell the difference between high school students and university students; the high school girls didn’t wear makeup.
Under usual circumstances, high school girls didn’t wear makeup. They rarely put on makeup as well. It was, however, different for university girls. They probably wouldn’t even leave their house without washing up and putting on makeup.
This was also the reason how some unattractive girls suddenly looked extremely different after enrolling into university…
As for the guys, those who were originally unpresentable remained unpresentable during university…
He didn’t mind it and said cheerfully, “Apologies, could you guys make way? This is my bunk.”
The four people stopped playing. The guy sitting on Lu Shu’s bottom bunk laughed, “You could sit at the side? Do you mind waiting for a moment, we’re almost done.”
Lu Shu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this guy was rather audacious. He was so kind to apologize, shouldn’t his reaction be to end their game immediately and hand the bunk over?! With the two of you sitting here, you want me to sit at the side?
What for, to play cards for you?!
Seeing as these people had no intention of getting up, Lu Shu tapped on the upper bunk and asked, “What’s this?”
The guy sitting on the lower bunk was rather confused, “That’s the upper bunk. What else could it be?”
He then pointed to the middle bunk, “And this?”
The guy was puzzled, “That’s the middle bunk.”
Lu Shu then breathed and pointed at the lower bunk they were sitting on, “And what’s this?”
The guy was almost annoyed. What did this guy want? He said confidently, “That’s the lower bunk.”
Lu Shu shook his head, “No, that’s MY lower bunk.”
The four university students were taken aback. Are you sick?! Can’t you just say so?!
“From Yuan Liangtuo’s distress, _178…”
“From Yuan Li’s distress, +61…”
“From…”
“From…”
The four of them contributed less than 500 distress points, and Lu Shu began to have some slight regret…
