Chapter 3: Dating Battle (3)
Lu Xun pushed open the door of the office, the light in the corridor outside the door was dazzling, and his eyes couldn't adapt to the strong light for a while, so he could only raise his hand to block it.
"Brother Lu Xun!"
A vague shadow suddenly pounced, Lu Xun was taken aback, and before he could react, his warm and soft body slammed into his arms, and for a while nephrite was full of warm fragrance, and a pair of slender arms wrapped around his neck.
Lu Xun took a step back and subconsciously hugged her, the girl hugged the young man tightly, arched her head into Lu Xun's arms, and pressed tightly against his chest, rubbing like a kitten.
Lu Xun smelled a familiar scent from her hair.
"Huh? Ah...... Ai Ye, why are you here? Lu Xun finally came back to his senses and saw the person in his arms clearly, a little surprised.
The girl hung on Lu Xun's body, raised her head and smiled, her big clear eyes flickered, and her slender long hair fell from the corners of her forehead, "I'm waiting for Brother Lu Xun here." β
Lu Xun put the girl down.
"Don't you have any work today?"
"Sister Anna gave me a break today, and she gave me a day off." Ai Ye put his arm around Lu Xun, and the two of them walked out along the corridor and stepped up the stairs to the foyer of the main building.
There was no one in the foyer at this time, and most people should have gone to the restaurant to eat.
Lu Xun's office was on the ground floor of the main building, that is, the warehouse full of garbage that Zhao Gao had at the beginning, and Zhao Gao left everything to Lu Xun, including the key to the warehouse.
It took Lu Xun a lot of effort to clean up this warehouse, but fortunately, Zhao Gao had been raided by the executive department once, and someone had already sorted it out for him, otherwise Lu Xun couldn't imagine how he would deal with the mountains of garbage.
"Are you tired from work today?" Ai Ye jumped in front of Lu Xun, "Brother Lu Xun, you haven't been out all afternoon." β
Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, "You waited outside all afternoon?" β
Ai Ye nodded, "I didn't dare to go in and disturb you, so I had to sit outside and wait...... I waited in the hallway all afternoon to get you out. β
In a rare free time, this girl actually waited in the corridor all afternoon.
The two of them stepped out of the main building, it was already late outside, the sun had set at five o'clock in the afternoon, and the velvety night sky slowly climbed overhead. The weather was very cold at the beginning of February, Lu Xun took a deep breath, and the cold air entered his lungs along the nasal trachea, which cleared his mind a lot. If you stay in a dark basement for a long time, your brain will be swollen and dizzy.
There is a thick layer of snow on the lawn of the main building, which has not snowed in Shanghai for a long time, and this snow does not melt on the ground for half a month.
After the demise of human society, the climate has become colder, and now the lowest temperature in Shanghai can exceed minus 10 degrees Celsius in a year.
Lu Xun's clothes were very thin, he only had a thin sweater and coat on him, Ai Ye was much thicker, she didn't know whose clothes she was, a dark red scarf, a dark down jacket, and deerskin boots under his feet, and the boots creaked on the snow.
Lu Xun walked behind, looking at the girl's jumping black ponytail, a little distracted.
"How's the director doing? Is she okay? β
"Sister Anna?" Ai Ye turned around, held her hands behind her back, jumped back step by step, her smile was very bright, her fair little face was red from the cold wind, "Sister Anna is still the same...... Cheng Tian has a straight face, is very stern and harsh, and always criticizes me. β
Since Lu Xun became the head of the Executive Department, he no longer had time to stay in the library, so Ariana's assistant was replaced by Aiye.
Aiye is a survivor rescued from the Night King's prison, a fifteen-year-old girl who was very timid and withdrawn when she was first rescued, afraid to approach anyone, not trusting anyone, and not even eating the food provided by the Academy.
But somehow...... She has extraordinary trust in Lu Xun, she refuses to eat the food sent by others, but the food sent by Lu Xun is eaten to the full...... Because Ai Ye and Lu Xun are both Asians with black hair and black eyes, it may be easier for people of the same race to gain trust, but this conjecture was quickly overturned, because Luo Cheng, who is also Chinese, was disliked by Ai Ye.
So the academy arranged for Lu Xun to accompany Ai Ye to help guide and correct her psychological state, and after several months of hard work, Ai Ye finally began to accept other people.
Now that Ai Ye has returned to normal, she is only fifteen years old, and her psychological wounds heal faster than adults, and this little girl who seems to be depressed is actually lively and eccentric, of course...... She was still very, very sticky to Lu Xun, eager to follow behind the young man every step of the way.
"She didn't let you go into the water to help her pick up the reactor, did she?" Lu Xun laughed.
"Pick up the reactor?" Ai Ye was puzzled, "Why do you want to pick up the reactor?" β
"Didn't the reactor in the lab blow up?" Lu Xun asked.
"Nope." Ai Ye shook his head, "How could the reactor explode?" Not once it was blown up...... Sister Anna arranged everything in order, I just had to sweep the floor, clean up, and serve tea and water. β
Lu Xun was stunned.
The girl leaned over and hugged Lu Xun's arm.
"Brother Lu Xun, in two days...... Are you free? β
"In two days?" Lu Xun frowned, free? Ever since he became the head of this damn executive department, he has been so busy every day that he can't even eat hot shit, where does he get his free time?
"Mm-hmm, it's next Monday." The girl nodded violently, "Brother Lu Xun, do you have any arrangements?" Is there time? β
"Next Monday? There are still three days left, so there shouldn't be any arrangements......" Lu Xunmo rubbed his chin, in recent months, the safety zone has been calm, and every day is a trivial matter, after the ultimate boss Night King was overturned by them, there were no hunters around the academy.
"Really?" Ai Ye's eyes lit up, and he hugged Lu Xun's arm and shook it, "Are you really free?" β
Lu Xun nodded slowly.
"Brother Lu Xun, if you have time...... Can you ......" Ai Ye asked hesitantly, and the roots of her ears turned red all of a sudden.
"What's the matter?"
"Can you ...... Have a meal with me? The girl hid her face in her scarf, her voice as thin as a mosquito, crimson creeping up her cheeks from her neck, her hands twisted uneasily, and she looked down at her hands, slender fingers twisting and turning.
Ai Ye quietly raised his eyes to peek at Lu Xun's reaction, and the latter was dazed.
Lu Xun scratched his head, "Okay, I don't have anything to do anyway, lunch or dinner?" β
"Dinner!" Girl surprise.

"You're such a beast." Lao Jia muttered, "Can you handle such a small girl?" β
"Hey, hey, where are you going here?" Lu Xun was shocked, "What do you mean by being so small?" She's sixteen, okay? β
"Take a look! You're really going to do it, aren't you? They all think she's not too young! Lao Jia was heartbroken, "She's sixteen years old, so you can do whatever you want?" β
"Oh no, I don't think she's old enough, I don't mean that...... Darn! Lu Xun's tongue was knotted, "I have always just treated Ai Ye as a sister!" How can an elder brother think differently about his sister? β
"Yes, for example, you are a dead loli control and sister control." Lao Jia said.
"First of all, I'm not Lolicon! Secondly, I'm not a sister control! Thirdly, I don't have any thoughts at all! Lu Xun said, "If I have any impure thoughts about Ai Ye, will the sky thunder and split?" β
As soon as Lu Xun's voice fell, there was a muffled thunder in the sky.
"Look, look, God thinks you're scum!" Lao Jia scolded angrily.
Lu Xun covered his face.
No way...... Who did I recruit and who did I mess with?
"Just because you don't have any ideas about people doesn't mean they don't have thoughts about you." Lao Jia snorted, "I think this little girl is ambitious, you treat her as a sister...... She doesn't necessarily just treat you like a brother. β
Lu Xun was stunned, "Where did you see that?" β
"Next week, right?" Lao Jia asked, "What day is next Monday?" β
"Next Monday......" Lu Xun calculated in his heart, "It's February 14th, is there anything wrong with this day......"
Wait a minute!
Lu Xun suddenly realized what the problem was.
February 14th.
"Love...... Valentineβs Day? β
