When Xu Lei had heard her reply, he clapped and said with a smile, “Well, Plan Handsome Man is a failure!”
“Technically, it was not a failure.You’re an impressively stylish man, Captain Xu!” Lu Jia’er said as she smiled.
“I agree with Professor Lu. Captain Xu, you are really not a handsome man, but definitely a stylish man!” cut in Zhu Yu.
“Plan Handsome man is actually a joke. But Director Li and Director He are very eager to have you as the chief consultant of psychology in the provincial bureau.” Xu Lei smiled and said.
Lu Jia’er smiled and looked at Xu Lei. Jokes have their grain of seriousness. Moreover, Lu Jia’er could hear the inner voices of others, so she was very clear about what was on Xu Lei’s mind.
“In fact, even if I don’t accept the title of Chief Consultant, as long as there is a case that requires my participation, I will do my best to help.” said Lu Jia’er.
“Professor Lu, you are really indifferent to fame and fortune!” Xu Lei glanced at Lu Jia’er and said.
“I might have an undeserved reputation!” replied Lu Jia’er humbly.
“Professor Lu, you totally live up to your name! I have been reading your theses recently. You are becoming my idol! No, you are my idol!” Zhu Yu immediately refuted Lu Jia’er’s words.
Lu Jia’er smiled and said, “To be frank, I am susceptible to flattery. I may end up taking your flattery seriously!”
Xu Lei and Zhu Yu were amused by Lu Jia’er. Xu Lei had a better impression of Lu Jia’er, but he had a gut feeling that she was hiding something.
After dinner, Xu Lei went to pay the bill, while Zhu Yu and Lu Jia’er waited for him at the door.
Zhu Yu glanced at Lu Jia’er, seemingly having something to say, but she kept silent. Lu Jia’er saw this and said, “Tell him directly if you like him!”
Zhu Yu was shocked and stuttered, “Lu… Professor Lu, what did you say?”
Lu Jia’er smiled at her. “You like Captain Xu!”
“Is… Is it so obvious?” Zhu Yu’s cheeks quickly blushed.
“While you may have tried to cover it up thoroughly, it is hard to cover up your real feelings all the time!” Lu Jia’er smiled and said.
“Yes, it’s hard!” Zhu Yu silently nodded.
Sometimes she couldn’t even control herself. In order to see him, she got up early every day, and was never late for work. She also never got off work early. From time to time, she would stop by his office and peek at him. She was overwhelmed by this feeling, but she also felt happy.
“But before you tell him, try to fix his psychological trauma!” Lu Jia’er said.
“But he keeps avoiding me!” Zhu Yuyi paused for a few seconds, then she nodded again.
“Letting him continue like this will only make it worse!” Lu Jia’er looked at Xu Lei who was coming toward them and said to Zhu Yu coolly.
“Thank you for reminding me, Professor Lu. I will give it a try!” Zhu Yu gave a glance at Lu Jia’er and her eyes were full of admiration and gratitude.
At the moment, Xu Lei went to them and glanced at the two of them, “Were you talking about me?”
“No, I told Professor Lu that Yu Fang wanted to thank her personally!” Zhu Yu quickly changed the subject of conversation.
“She doesn’t have to thank me. Yet I can meet her sometime!” Lu Jia’er answered.
“Then I will give her a reply tomorrow!” said Zhu Yu.
The conversation between the two had no holes, so Xu Lei bought it.
