“Ninth brother, why are you here?”

“Hmm… I’m here with a friend,” Lu Dong said in a light tone.

He raised his eyes and scanned the surroundings. When his gaze fell on the wooden stakes by the wall, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he immediately regained his calm.

“Oh, then I’ll go practice first.” Yu Zhao carried the sandbag and prepared to leave.

“Wait a moment,” Lu Dong suddenly called out to her.

Yu Zhao stopped in her tracks and looked at him in confusion.

She saw Lu Dong reach out and take the sandbag from her arms, then throw it aside.

“Why?” Yu Zhao said in dissatisfaction.

“Is such a simple exercise worth your effort?” Lu Dong glanced at her, grabbed her collar, and walked out. “Come, have a meal with me.”

In front of the big Lu Dong, Yu Zhao had completely turned into a helpless cub.

She pouted unhappily. “Ninth brother, this is a school. Watch your image!”

Lu Dong raised his eyebrows. “Do you want others to see your current appearance?”

When Yu Zhao heard this, she immediately shut her mouth.

She didn’t want to cause a commotion.

Although she was not afraid of any rumors.

“Be good and obedient.” Lu Dong patted her head and gently said, “Follow me.”

Yu Zhao turned her head arrogantly and pretended to be fierce. “I dare you to touch my head again!”

Lu Dong retracted his hand and looked at her dotingly. “I won’t do it anymore.”

“Fine.” Yu Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

The two of them went to the school canteen together and instantly caused a big commotion.

“Isn’t he the school’s director? Why is he with the School of Biology’s new student?”

“She’s so pretty! No wonder Director Lu likes her so much!”

“Also, their interaction somehow shows that they are very familiar with each other…”

Yu Zhao felt even more depressed when she heard the students’ discussions.

She sat in her seat and looked at Lu Dong with a half-smile. “Ninth brother, I didn’t know that you’re actually a director of Capital University’s Board of Directors!”

Didn’t that mean that all her little tricks in school were known by Lu Dong?

Lu Dong picked up his cup of tea and took a light sip before he slowly said, “Yes. I’ve only been here for three years.”

Three years?

Yu Zhao’s eyes widened.

“You’ve only just returned to the country!” She couldn’t help but complain.

“That’s right. But it’s not necessary to present in person to be on the Board of Directors,” Lu Dong admitted frankly. “So, if you have any problems in school, feel free to look for me. I’ll cover you.”

“That… that’s not good.” Yu Zhao shook her head and didn’t say anything else. She buried her head and focused on her meal.

Not far away, two figures appeared in the school canteen.

“Ah Zhe, I think the food in the school canteen is pretty good. What do you want to eat?”

When it was time for lunch, Xing Lin grabbed Jiang Zhe and brought him to the school canteen. During this period, they had been eating takeaway or having lavish meals every day. They felt a little sick of it.

Jiang Zhe glanced at him and said indifferently, “As you wish.”

“Really?” Xing Lin leaned close to his ear and blew suggestively. He lowered his voice and said, “Why not… we go to a hotel tonight?”

“Get lost!” Jiang Zhe slapped his face mercilessly.

Xing Lin laughed.

“Hey, look at those two people over there! They look a little familiar.”

Jiang Zhe looked in the direction Xing Lin was pointing and narrowed his eyes indifferently.

Those were Lu Dong and Yu Zhao!

Why were they together?

Jiang Zhe furrowed his brows and stared at the two people as if he wanted to see through them.

“Eh? Wasn’t that the youngest director of the school, Lu Dong? Did he know Yu Zhao? This is rare!” Xing Lin didn’t notice the change in Jiang Zhe’s mood and muttered to himself.

Jiang Zhe narrowed his eyes, turned his head, and asked lightly, “What’s their relationship?”

“I’m not sure, but they look like…” Xing Lin said thoughtfully, “Could it be some classic scene where they were childhood sweethearts? The Lu Group has always been in the capital.”

Jiang Zhe was silent. He suddenly started to walk towards the entrance of the canteen.

“Hey, where are you going?”

Xing Lin quickly caught up with him and grabbed his arm. “Hey, are we not having lunch?”

“Why do we have to eat in the canteen?”

“Ah Zhe, don’t tell me you’re jealous because Yu Zhao and Lu Dong are having a meal together,” Xing Lin teased.

Jiang Zhe glanced at him and said, “You’re thinking too much.”

“Then where are you going?”

“It’s a secret!”
