Chapter 142 - 142 142 Youre Really a God
?Chapter 142: Chapter 142: You’re Really a God Chapter 142: Chapter 142: You’re Really a God Huo Ye was making a call when Lu Xun was watching a movie with Luo Ning, his phone was on silent so he didn’t pick up.
After coming out, he saw in the group chat that Huo Ye had suggested a meal together, but knowing the other party didn’t have any urgent matters, he didn’t reply.
He just didn’t expect to run into him here.
“I was busy this afternoon so I put my phone on silent.”
Lu Xun looked at the three people and asked, “How did you guys know I was in this private room?”
Huo Ye raised his hand and pointed at himself, “When I entered the courtyard, I saw your figure from a distance and asked the waiter, then I knew you were in this private room.”
They were acquainted with the owner and were regulars here, which is why the waiter would tell them the room number.
Lu Xun nodded, “Got it, I’ll invite you guys out some other time.”
That was essentially giving them the boot.
Huo Ye and the others instantly understood, feeling astonished in their hearts, for it was the first time Lu Xun had ever prioritized romance over friendship.
In the past, he would have surely called them to join for a meal.
Yu Zihang laughed understandingly, “Okay, let’s meet up in a few days.”
Then he pulled Huo Ye, signaling that it was enough, warning him not to interfere with the pursuit of the girl, or else he’d definitely be dealt with later on.
Fu Ci knew that Luo Ning had once saved Lu Xun, yet he truly hadn’t expected that his friend, who usually stayed away from women, would one day be moved by an ordinary passion.
He himself had developed a liking for Luo Ning and had heard his sister frequently praising her good nature; he’d even planned to find an opportunity to get to know her better.
If they hit it off, developing a romance wouldn’t be bad.
But now that his friend had made the first move, he put away those thoughts and decided to be friends instead of lovers.
“Well then, we won’t disturb you and Master Luo,” he said to the two of them with a smile and a nod.
Originally planning to leave as well, Huo Ye, upon hearing Fu Ci’s reference to Luo Ning, asked curiously, “Why do you refer to her as Master Luo?”
Luo Ning being a Feng Shui Master wasn’t a secret.
Hence Fu Ci stated truthfully, “Luo Ning is also a Feng Shui Master, she helped save Weiwei.”
Since he couldn’t progress to a relationship beyond friendship with Luo Ning, he had habitually returned to addressing her by the previous title.
Huo Ye suddenly showed some interest, “I didn’t expect you to be a Feng Shui Master.”
“Do you usually do Feng Shui readings for people?”
Huo Ye couldn’t help but take a seat opposite Luo Ning, “I’ve heard that you Feng Shui Masters are also adept at face reading and divination, is that true?”
Luo Ning could tell that Lu Xun’s friend was quite easygoing, “Whether other Feng Shui Masters do it or not, I don’t know, but I can read faces and tell fortunes.”
“Since you are a friend of Mr. Lu, I’ll give you a free piece of advice.”
She looked at Huo Ye and continued, “Whoever you meet today who argues with you, it’s best if you don’t get into a quarrel or a fight, or else you may face a bloody disaster.”
Huo Ye didn’t expect that a mere question out of curiosity would result in such advice from the young beauty.
He chuckled, “Are you sure I’ll encounter a bloody disaster?”
Seeing his reaction, Luo Ning knew he didn’t believe what she said, “You can experience it yourself, but if someone throws a bottle at you, it’s best to dodge your head.”
“Alright, then I’ll give it a try.”
Huo Ye didn’t believe that a casual observation could predict a bloody disaster, but since his friend was present, he needed to maintain face.
He stood up with a smile, “Then we’ll leave first.”
Lu Xun nodded to him, reminding, “Go ahead, and don’t get into any fights tonight; Luo Ning is very accurate with her predictions.”
His friend had a rather flamboyant character and had been a notorious school tyrant since childhood, sometimes quite stubborn and impulsive.
He absolutely trusted Luo Ning’s words, which is why he warned him.
Huo Ye hadn’t expected his good friend to start believing in superstitions, it seemed that even men who were usually incorruptible and untouched by desires became irrational when it came to love.
He smiled noncommittally and said, “Got it.”
Then he and Fu Ci left, heading for the private room they had originally reserved.
After the three of them left, Lu Xun asked Luo Ning, “If his ‘blood omen’ occurs, will it be serious?”
If it were serious, he naturally couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Luo Ning shook her head with a smile, “It’s not too serious, at most something like a bottle hitting his head.”
“If he can remember my warning, he won’t be bleeding profusely from his head; just a few scratches and some bleeding.”
Because it was such a minor issue, she simply took the chance to warn him, without offering to resolve it for him.
Listening to her tone, Lu Xun knew that Huo Ye’s ‘blood omen’ was relatively light, so he didn’t bother with it any further.
Huo Ye was sometimes too impulsive, taking a small loss might actually be a good thing.
Soon, the seafood they ordered arrived.
Luo Ning loved cooking, which naturally meant she loved eating too.
She ate with great enjoyment, “The seafood here really is delicious. Mr. Lu, are you actually a hidden foodie behind the scenes?”
The places Lu Xun took her to were always unique and tasty, particularly because they suited her palate.
Lu Xun, wearing gloves, peeled a mantis shrimp for Luo Ning, “Yeah, it’s alright. I know a few more nice restaurants. I’ll take you there sometime.”
He wasn’t much of a foodie himself, but he knew Luo Ning loved good food and he was well aware of her preferences.
Luo Ning naturally accepted the mantis shrimp Lu Xun had peeled, “Sure.”
For some reason, ever since the time they had survived on the deserted island, Lu Xun’s attitude towards her and his very character had changed significantly, giving her an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness.
And so, she instinctively went along with it, not rejecting the various kindnesses Lu Xun showed her.
As they were nearly finished eating, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Xun guessed who it was, “Come in.”
Sure enough, it was Huo Ye and his group again.
This time, Huo Ye had a bloody scratch across his face and his arm was wrapped in a bandage, with bloodstains visible.
Lu Xun took off his gloves and began to wipe his hands with a wet wipe as he spoke, “Couldn’t keep yourself in check?”
Huo Ye smiled sheepishly, “I can’t be blamed for what happened today; it was Feng Yuhao who kept provoking me.”
Then, he looked at Luo Ning with a complex expression, “You really are something else!”
Earlier in the private room, Lu Xun had reminded him once, and after leaving, Fu Ci reminded him again, but he still hadn’t taken it to heart.
He had been abroad for many years and simply didn’t believe in Feng Shui, fortune-telling, and all those things.
When he went to the restroom in the middle of the meal, he ran into Feng Yuhao, with whom he had always clashed.
He originally didn’t want to bother with that guy, but the other man deliberately blocked his way and started provoking him with various sarcastic remarks.
Huo Ye’s temper flared, and he sarcastically retorted, even intentionally poking at the other’s sore points.
Unexpectedly, that bastard lunged at him with a wine bottle.
The reminder from Luo Ning popped into his mind, and as a practitioner, he instinctively dodged away from the blow, raising his arm to shield his head.
As a result, the bottle smashed against his arm, and the broken shards cut his face and arm.
He didn’t hesitate to call the police, and after that guy was taken away, he returned to the private room and dragged Fu Ci and the other person to look for Luo Ning, worried that they might leave after finishing their meal.
Luckily, they were in time; it seemed the two had just finished eating.
