Chapter 90: Ch. 90 - Chi-Zi, How Can I Live Without You?!

This simp is super strong yet overly cautious. Lu Xing still felt uneasy. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Chi Yueshan, who was resting.

She was lying on the mat as if escaping reality, her long arms stretched out, revealing a section of her slender, white, and creamy wrist.

Compared to the cool and dignified qingyi...

Lu Xing felt that the person in front of him, who was trying to crawl into a crack in the ground, was more in line with Chi Yueshan's true personality.

A black-bellied green tea, but also a bit of a little girl.

Lu Xing leaned on the sofa, waiting for Chi Yueshan to rest and leave, but at this moment, his mind was thinking.

How can I add another layer of insurance?

Confucius once said...

Petty-bourgeois sentiments, three days in the factory and the medicine will cure the disease!

(TL: Confucius never said this...this is a modern Chinese meme. It's a popular phrase used by people who find the "xiao zi"(small capitalist) lifestyle to be privileged, disconnected, or pretentious.)

It was obviously unrealistic to let Chi Yueshan go to work, but to make Chi Yueshan so busy with work that she was flying...
to repay you.

When creating art, emotion and skill are indispensable.

True feelings can move people's hearts.

The Ode to the Pear Blossom Chi Yueshan had sung the last time was just a display of empty skill.

But today.

Although Chi Yueshan was wearing the simplest and even plainest clothes, she sang with an unprecedented emotion.

Even he was very moved after listening to it.

And now.

This video was in Lu Xing's hands.

If it could move a cold-hearted person like him, then moving others would be a piece of cake.

Most importantly.

Chi Yueshan was very beautiful.

This was an indispensable factor.

"Master, you can go now."

Seeing that the time was about right, Lu Xing said to the driver in the car.

"Alright." The driver laughed and turned on the player.

Instantly.

A song slowly began to play.

"This fleeting moment, the most intimate distance,

Along the texture of your skin, past the winding arm,

I'll make a dream for you."

The car started slowly.

Chi Yueshan leaned on the car window and looked back. Lu Xing stood there, smiling and waving.

Like an NPC, like a machine, but definitely not like a person.

"How much further until I can enter your heart? How much longer until I can get close to you?

So close yet so far, the person I can't get close to,

Is also waiting to meet you."

Listening to the music in the car and looking at Lu Xing standing there, Chi Yueshan fell into a deep emo.

Falling in love with a robot without feelings, and not even maintaining or servicing the robot before.

This is simply digging a huge pit for herself.

Sigh.

Chi Yueshan let out a faint sigh. The wind blew into the car, scattering her sigh.

Half a minute later

Lu Xing looked at the taxi that had only moved two meters with a confused face. "No, master, are you out of gas?"

Chi Yueshan also looked at the driver in surprise and suggested, "How about I switch cars?"

The driver stuck his head out with a look of "hating that iron cannot become steel" and said to Lu Xing.

(TL: Unless this is your first Chinese novel there is no way you don't know this saying.)

(SHMOLL: to feel resentful and frustrated because someone isn't meeting expectations and improving)

"Why don't you follow the script!"

Huh?

Lu Xing was dumbfounded.

What script?

Isn't the script over?

His double insurance is all set!

The driver asked with dissatisfaction, "Miss, what's your surname?"

"Chi."

The driver shouted at Lu Xing.

"I'm driving so slowly, you should be chasing the car! And while you're chasing, you should say,

'Will we meet again, Chi-zi? When we meet again, you must be happy! Chi-zi, how can I live without you, Chi-zi!'" 

(TL: "Chi-zi" is a pun on her name and a famous line from a meme/movie from 2021 called "Till We Meet Again".)

Lu Xing: ...

Chi Yueshan: ...

Chi Yueshan was so ashamed she wanted to stuff herself under the car seat.

Lu Xing was so ashamed he wanted to run three hundred meters down the street.

Ahhhhh!

What kind of people are these!

Lu Xing was so embarrassed his scalp was tingling.

Finally, the car drove far away. He hadn't even had time to let out a sigh of relief when he heard the notification of a new WeChat message.

Lu Xing was in tears. "I hate message notification sounds!"

So terrifying!

Lu Xing clicked on the chat box. When he saw the contact's name, he was suddenly stunned.

Fuck!

He remembered what he had forgotten!

It's Xia Yeshuang's birthday today!
