Chapter 77

"About that," Lu Xin was troubled in his heart. He really didn't want to take on such a task, but seeing Li Qingqing's anxious and agitated appearance, he knew the dead pervert Huang Tingdao had put a lot of pressure on her.

Just as Lu Xin was hesitating, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Yang Xiaoli. He didn't bother to answer and hung up right away.

Lu Xin had just put his phone back in his pocket, intending to have a good discussion with Li Qingqing to see if there was a better way, when his phone rang again.

Lu Xin thought it was Yang Xiaoli calling again. He didn't bother to check the number, swiped to answer, and put it to his ear, shouting, "Are you annoying or what..."

At that moment, Lu Xin realized he didn't love Yang Xiaoli at all anymore. In the past, no matter how many times Yang Xiaoli called him in one night, he would answer gently. But now, he probably wouldn't do that anymore.

On the other end of the line, Jiang Xueqing's icy voice said, "Lu Xin, you have the nerve to say that again!"

Lu Xin quickly explained, "I didn't look at the number, I thought it was a real estate agent calling!"

Jiang Xueqing coldly said, "You owe me an explanation! The day before yesterday, you were still making solemn vows, saying, 'If you don't want to marry, Li Qiming can't marry you. I may not be able to give you happiness, but I can hold your hand so you don't fall into Li Qiming's hell.' Your words are still ringing in my ears, but I didn't expect you to turn around and sell me out to Li Qiming. Do you, Lu Xin, have any sense of righteousness? How can you be so untrustworthy!"

As she spoke, she replayed the recording Li Qiming had just played for her during their long-distance call.

Lu Xin glanced at Li Qingqing, who was listening intently with her ears perked up. He guessed she was definitely more on her brother's side. This clearly wasn't the place to confide in Jiang Xueqing, so he picked up his phone and smiled at Li Qingqing, saying, "Let me think about it for a day. I'll call you tomorrow night!"

With that, he ran out of the Li family's villa.

Outside, Lu Xin finally put the phone to his ear and smiled at Jiang Xueqing, saying, "Today, Shen Yafang told me eight words: show weakness to the enemy, buy time. I followed her plan!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xueqing's originally furious mood calmed down instantly. "Tell me more!"

Lu Xin then explained to Jiang Xueqing what Shen Yafang had said and his own plans, and finally said with a bitter smile, "Xueqing, I can't confront Li Qiming head-on right now. I can only make him let his guard down first, and then I'll settle the score with him later."

Jiang Xueqing let out a long breath and giggled, "You guys have a good plan. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You almost made me furious! By the way, you mustn't let my parents or the Li family know about this!"

"Don't worry, only the three of us know about this," Lu Xin smiled. "Even if Li Qiming is smart enough to figure it out, I will do my best to prevent him from defiling you!"

"Don't use such ugly words!" Jiang Xueqing giggled. "You don't need to worry. As long as I don't want to marry him, my parents won't force me. But if I don't marry him, I still need to find a decent partner. After all, in three years, I'll be twenty-five, and I haven't had a serious relationship yet. I'm really afraid I'll become a perverted old maid like Master Extermination!"

Lu Xin mustered up his courage and carefully said, "Xueqing, if three years from now, you're still unmarried and I'm still unmarried, would you be willing to start a serious and passionate relationship with me?"

Jiang Xueqing's smile faded, and she said seriously, "I'm different from my parents. I don't care about your family background, your job, or your savings. I'm quite satisfied with everything else about you, except for one thing: you're too feminine and not manly enough. If you can change that, we don't have to wait three years. In six months, when I return to the country, we can start!"

"I'm feminine!" Lu Xin felt as if he had been hit on the head. His mind was buzzing. He had thought of a hundred reasons why Jiang Xueqing might reject him, but he never expected this. He angrily said, "Jiang Xueqing! What makes you say I'm feminine!"

"Think about the four years we've been together. Can you say you're not nagging and feminine?" Jiang Xueqing giggled.

Lu Xin recalled the four and a half years from their first meeting in college to when Jiang Xueqing went abroad for training. Next to the straightforward and carefree Jiang Xueqing, Lu Xin had to be more meticulous, considerate, and even nagging to keep the literature club from falling apart. He never expected that his meticulous and considerate nature would be seen as feminine by Jiang Xueqing. Additionally, he had once been harassed by a homosexual, which Jiang Xueqing had teased him about for over three years. This was probably another reason she thought he was feminine.

Lu Xin asked, unwillingly, "What do I need to do for you to think I'm not feminine?"

"You need to be able to beat me!" Jiang Xueqing giggled.

Jiang Xueqing was very beautiful, with a great figure. At first glance, she was a stunning beauty, elegant and graceful. But after knowing her for a while, you would realize she was a true tomboy. Besides being the president of the literature club, she was also the president of the martial arts club.

When Jiang Xueqing was seven, her father, Jiang Zhenhua, learned about Li Zhonggang's affair with Shen Yafang's sister, Shen Yafang. Worried that his daughter might face a similar fate, he had her learn Wing Chun from a famous master, Liang Meimei, in Jiangzhou. Jiang Xueqing had a natural talent for martial arts and loved it. After fifteen years of hard training, she surpassed her teacher, sweeping through the top ten universities in Jiangzhou and becoming a goddess in the hearts of countless boys. Well, a goddess with a punch!

Before Lu Xin had his metal control ability, he was never a match for Jiang Xueqing. He would be knocked down as soon as he got into position. Lu Xin had followed Jiang Xueqing to the martial arts club to learn, but he had no talent for martial arts. He couldn't learn in a month what Jiang Xueqing could learn in a day. In the end, Jiang Xueqing couldn't stand Lu Xin's dullness and kicked him out of the club, saying he was a hopeless case.

Jiang Xueqing wasn't trying to make things difficult for Lu Xin. She had always wanted to find a man stronger than her. If a man couldn't even beat her, how could he be considered a man? She wanted to use this condition to reject Li Qiming, but Li Qiming insisted on being refined, saying that fighting was uncivilized. Jiang Xueqing despised Li Qiming even more.

However, now that Lu Xin had his metal control ability, his body automatically turned to metal when attacked, making him as hard as iron, impervious to blades and bullets, and as strong as the highest level of the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt. And he had no weak points.

So Lu Xin said with great confidence, "Xueqing, just wait six months to be my girlfriend!"
