Chapter 752: A Present from the New Neighbor
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A few foreign tenants had come to the 4th district of Luo City Xin Shu Road today. They had bought an apartment and renovated it. The female owner had warmly and kindly given everyone in the district a gift of sweets.
The box of sweets was very intricate. It was filled with neatly arranged chocolates of all flavors.
After she had visited every house, she was left with the innermost house. For some reason, she returned to the room, checked her appearance in the mirror, and touched up her makeup before she visited the house and asked whether anyone was home.
Coral did not know why she was suddenly so nervous. The door opened. Lu Shu was wearing an ap.r.o.n. Behind him was the dining table.
Coral looked at Lu Shu and smiled. “I’m your new neighbor. I’m here to give you a little present. I’ve given one to everyone in this district.”
Coral did not seem to recognize him. Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Why was she suddenly here? What happened? How did he not know that a Cla.s.s A expert had suddenly come here? Furthermore, that Cla.s.s A expert was Coral!
He thought that he had already buried that memory deep in his heart, as it might be useful in the future. Lu Shu had almost become a married man. Although she only liked him because of the relations.h.i.+p between Gungnir and the World Tree, this was still very interesting.
Someone had liked a young man who liked making cold jokes. No matter the reason, he still felt a sense of superiority.
Lu Shu did not want to think about this matter again. He did not want to be the other main character in this situation. He just wanted to live well.
Fate had come to him, only to tell a joke and walk away. Lu Shu thought that he would never have any fate. But here it was again, knocking on his door.
Lu Shu took the intricate box. “Thank you.”
She did not seem to recognize him. Lu Shu was not sure what he should do. They were like strangers who had met for the first time. They would say goodbye after exchanging greetings.
Coral turned and walked back to her new home. Her cousin was guiding the movers who were s.h.i.+fting the furniture. He saw Coral return and laughed. “Was it successful?”
“Ah.” Coral did not seem to be paying attention. “I gave it to him. But is it okay to just give him chocolates? Should I have been more reserved? I read online that guys in the East like reserved girls.”
Her cousin laughed. “It’s fine. You gave the chocolates to everyone else too, right? You didn’t just give him, the chocolates.”
“That’s true.” Coral nodded her head. “I absolutely cannot let him have a poor impression of me.”
“You’ll be starting school tomorrow. Are you ready?” Her cousin asked while holding in his laughter.
“But why can’t I apply for the species research specialization? This way, I can see him everyday,” said Coral.
“You must be more reserved,” said her cousin with a serious expression on his face. “Have you forgotten what your father has told you? The Master of G.o.ds cannot just do as they pleased!”
The Deities had also discussed this. Coral was a Cla.s.s A now. No one in the organization could stop her anymore. Coral insisted that Lu Shu was her lover in her previous life. Everyone had given up hope.
But from another perspective, all of them were there when it happened. They could sense that Lu Shu’s feelings for Coral were just slightly lacking. If it were not for the threat posed by the Bishop from the Department of Faith Theory, Lu Shu may not have taken Coral away.
Lu Shu had been forced to take action. Even the wedding had been prepared by someone else. Lu Shu was completely dumbfounded.
The Deities had already formed diplomatic ties with the Cartel. The leaders of the two organizations had discussed this thoroughly. When Arturo was drunk, he would swing his ponytail around and say, “That young man is not pa.s.sionate enough! That’s right, he’s not pa.s.sionate enough!”
Everyone understood that Lu Shu’s desire to protect Coral was stronger. He had completed the wedding to fulfill Coral’s wish before she died.
Although Lu Shu had done many things for Coral, and they could not reject Lu Shu’s feelings towards Coral, they could not marry their Master of G.o.ds off just like that. They were filled with despair that their Master of G.o.ds had fallen for a person like Lu Shu. But thinking about how Lu Shu did not love Coral as much as she loved him, they grew indignant.
Such a pleasant girl had fallen for you, and you still did not come to Sweden to become her husband? If she forgot about you, were you not going to chase her?
Coral’s father drank with Arturo everyday during that period. His beautiful daughter had fallen for a jerk like Lu Shu…
Lu Shu silently held the box of sweets and returned into the house. Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao were still playing. They did not realize what had happened outside. Video games needed this kind of concentration!
The atmosphere was getting rather tense when Lu Xiaoyu walked over and turned off the television. “Pleasure-seeking undermines lofty aspirations?”
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +166!”
“From Cheng Qiuqiao’s distress, +166!”
Who provoked you?!
Chen Zuan stood up and saw the box of sweets in Lu Shu’s hands. He was dumbfounded. “Brother Shu, since when did you buy those sweets? Can I have some?”
“Has your stomach digested the magical liquid? Are you able to eat this?” Lu Shu asked expressionlessly.
Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. How valuable were these chocolates? Why could he not eat them?
Lu Shu placed the box of sweets in his room before continuing to cook. As he cooked, he said, “Xiaoyu, cut some more garlic for me.”
No one answered him. Lu Shu felt that something was not right. He walked out of the kitchen and saw Lu Xiaoyu eating something. Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “What are you eating?!”
Lu Xiaoyu seemed very happy. She was enjoying herself as she ate and did not care about Lu Shu. Lu Shu was shocked. He ran into the room and realized that the box of sweets had been opened. There was… nothing left…
“From Lu Shu’s distress, +666!”
Lu Xiaoyu continued to chew on the chocolates and brushed past Lu Shu. She did not have any guilt after secretly eating all the chocolates.
“Lu Xiaoyu, you have really grown up.” Lu Shu did not know whether to laugh or cry. He grabbed Lu Xiaoyu’s arms. “You have to tell me if you want to eat some.”
Lu Xiaoyu happily pushed Lu Shu’s hands away. “Let go of me!”
“From Lu Shu’s distress, +666!”
