Chapter 30: Deliberation
Star Luo Empire, Starlight Village, Old Sam's home.
"Wednesday? It's afternoon now, so grandpa should be back soon. But looking at this state, my grandfather should be back for a while. Zhuqing, why don't I cook you some food first? Without waiting for Zhu Zhuqing to say no, Luo Xinghe ran directly to the stove and prepared to start cooking.
"Uh...... All right. Looking at Luo Xinghe, who had already taken out the ingredients and was ready to cook, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't say anything, so he had to nod in agreement.
After being busy for a while, Luo Xinghe finally brought the meal to the table. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, Luo Xinghe's face was a little embarrassed.
"Zhuqing, the conditions in my grandfather's house may not be very good. Well, I hope you don't mind! Luo Xinghe scratched his head, seemingly apologetic. There are not too many ingredients at home, and Luo Xinghe can only make some rice and rice soup, and as for the dishes, he can only fry two dishes.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried potatoes with green peppers are two classic stir-fried dishes.
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind. I'm not one of those rich kids, who even picks and chooses when it comes to eating. It's good to be able to eat enough now, after all, you know ......" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Luo Xinghe and said that he didn't have many opinions. As he spoke, he fell silent again.
Regarding Zhu Zhuqing's pursuit by those men in black, Luo Xinghe didn't quite understand it. But if the signal can be seen, Zhu Zhuqing seems to have some mental obstacles about those things, and he doesn't particularly want to talk about it. Luo Xinghe didn't ask, just prepared to eat.
“3,2,1!” Luo Xinghe looked out the door and muttered three numbers. Before Zhu Zhuqing had time to ask, he saw that the door was pushed open.
"Grandpa, I'm back, and I'm here with my friends." As Luo Xinghe expected, it was his old Sam grandfather who pushed the door open. After Zhu Zhuqing heard Luo Xinghe's address to the old man in front of him, he also understood, and immediately stood up from the dining table.
"Hello, you are the grandfather of Luo Xinghe. My name is Zhu Zhuqing, and I am a friend of Luo Xinghe. Zhu Zhuqing made a very ordinary etiquette to Grandpa Sam. However, after Old Sam's grandfather saw Zhu Zhuqing's etiquette, he was immediately shocked, but immediately returned to his normal expression of surprise.
"Yo! Xinghe, you're back with your friends. It seems that you have already graduated, so you don't even say a word to your grandfather so that he can help you get something. Takekiyo: Right? Our conditions here are a bit rudimentary, and letting Xinghe bring you here can be regarded as making you laugh. After seeing Zhu Zhuqing's etiquette, a trace of seriousness flowed in Old Sam's eyes, but there was still that kind smile on his face.
"It's okay, grandpa, nine, that's a bit of a joke. I'm not the arrogant royal kid, and the environment here isn't that bad. Zhu Zhuqing still used a cold voice, but a smile forced on the corner of his mouth always felt a little weird.
It's not just that Zhu Zhuqing feels a little weird, but Luo Xinghe wants to laugh when he looks at it from the side. It's really too difficult for Luo Xinghe to compare.
"Okay, eat first." After seeing the meal already on the table, Old Sam Grandpa didn't plan to go down like this sooner. In the process of eating, Old Sam's Grandpa and Luo Xinghe, Zhu Zhuqing talked and laughed, and chatted without a word, as if they were chatting about family life.
After eating, Luo Xinghe and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a look. Zhu Zhuqing immediately understood the meaning of Luo Xinghe, and found a reason to go out first.
"Xinghe, tell me about the origin of your friend." Old Sam's grandfather closed the door and closed the window again, and then sat down at the dining table and asked about the falling stars.
"Grandpa, I don't know much about Zhuqing's origins. Still, I could tell you about my encounter with her. After Luo Xinghe heard Grandpa Sam's question, he was a little surprised. Regarding Zhu Zhuqing's background, Luo Xinghe is really not very clear. However, he can also guess an approximate idea.
To the west of the Royal Forest, it is close to the Zhu family, the duke family of the Star Luo Empire. Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing also happens to be surnamed Zhu. When Zhu Zhuqing fled for his life, he fled from the West. If Zhu Zhuqing had nothing to do with the Zhu family, the duke family of the Star Luo Empire, Luo Xinghe would not believe it.
What is the relationship, Luo Xinghe is not clear, and he did not ask Zhu Zhuqing. There are some things that Luo Xinghe knows well in his heart, there is no need to say it, once he says it, it will have the opposite effect.
After listening to Luo Xinghe's narration, Old Sam's grandfather kept nodding. It's just that the trace of solemnity in Old Sam's grandfather's eyes was accurately captured by Luo Xinghe.
"Grandpa, what the hell is going on?" Luo Xinghe looked at Old Sam's expression, which was also full of many small question marks. Luo Xinghe has grown so big, and it is the first time he has seen this kind of expression on Old Sam's grandfather's face, and he can't figure it out in his heart.
"Then it'll be fine." Old Sam's grandfather suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Xinghe also discovered at this time that the solemnity in Grandpa Sam's eyes had disappeared, and was replaced by a kind smile on his face. Now the old Sam Grandpa makes Luo Xinghe feel familiar.
"Xinghe, have you figured out which high-level soul master academy to go to? If you haven't thought about it, do you need grandpa to recommend one for you? "Old Grandpa Sam, that's when I asked the most important question now.
"Grandpa, I've thought about it, I'll go to Shrek Academy!" Luo Xinghe originally thought that Old Sam didn't know about this academy. However, when Luo Xinghe saw that Old Sam's grandfather heard the name of this academy, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then nodded again. Only then did I understand that old Grandpa Sam knew about this college.
"Xinghe, are you alone? Or is that friend from outside of you going with you? Old Sam Grandpa looked outside again after hearing Luo Xinghe's affirmative reply. To be exact, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing who was standing outside.
At this time, Grandpa Sam realized why Zhu Zhuqing came with Luo Xinghe.
"That's right! Grandpa, this academy was told to me by that friend of mine, I have some interest in this academy, grandpa, do you think it's okay? "What Luo Xinghe is most worried about is the opinion of Grandpa Sam.
"When are you ready to go?" Old Sam's grandfather didn't even hesitate, but directly asked Luo Xinghe when they set off, which made Luo Xinghe a little confused. In Luo Xinghe's impression, if Luo Xinghe wants to do something, he asks for the opinion of Grandpa Sam, and usually Grandpa Sam has to think about it for a while before giving his opinion. It's just that Grandpa Sam agreed so happily, which made Luo Xinghe a little confused.
"We're going to leave tonight. When I came back this time, I just discussed it with you, grandpa. If you don't hurry, it's very likely that you will miss the enrollment time of Shrek Academy. After Luo Xinghe finished explaining, Old Sam's grandfather didn't say anything more, but began to clean up the table.
Luo Xinghe also came to help, but did not speak.
