Chapter 152: Chapter 151: Must Find Her!
Given that Panghao’s tone lacked much joy, and was even quite gloomy, Shouhao found it hard to understand, and patted him on the shoulder.
“Your uncle’s promotion is a happy event! What does it have to do with your studies?”
“Now that he’s become famous, he’s ordered me to step up my studies too, and no longer be at the bottom of the class…”
Shouhao showed understanding, as one’s family should progress together in harmony.
“But fatty, why did your dad get promoted all of a sudden?”
“Geez!” Panghao slapped his thigh, a gush of bitter tears: “You guys have no idea, last night the local bullies in Wucheng were cracked down on! My dad has been trying to deal with them for years without success, but last night they were all rounded up!”
“The local bullies got wiped out? Hahaha, serves them right! That bunch of scoundrels, who knows how many wicked things they’ve committed in secret, and with their vast influence, no one dared to touch them. Your dad is definitely the true hero of Wucheng this time, he deserves the promotion!”
“Hero my ass! It was all thanks to the Wucheng Guardian God, my dad just picked up the pieces and took the blame!”
Without taking his eyes off Lu Mian, Panghao added, “Because of this incident, the higher-ups are very satisfied with my dad. Just so happens the deputy director retired, and they announced right there that my dad would take over. He’s still desperately trying to explain to the leadership that it wasn’t his credit!”
“…” Shouhao’s mouth twitched, others’ fortuitous luck that they couldn’t earn in eight lifetimes, yet he found it burdensome.
“Now that you mention it, I’m really interested in this Wucheng Guardian God. What’s she after?”
“Right! Besides, how could a girl accomplish that?”
Panghao nodded, thinking of the blurry hand-drawn cartoon head he saw yesterday, and took a few more glances at Lu Mian.
Some things leave no trace until you start thinking in that direction. Once you do, you find clues everywhere.
Yet, having spoken for so long, Mianmian showed no reaction, just leisurely reading a romance novel without any sign of anomaly.
Panghao truly couldn’t spot any slip.
But he was certain that the stroke work looked almost like the cartoon cat head on the hamburger wrapper.
Don’t ask him why; it was the intuition passed down by his old man.
Was that profile picture drawn by Mianmian?
Or maybe it was drawn by the owner of the notebook, the senior high school girl?
Could it really be a coincidence?
He didn’t quite believe it and finally clenched his fist, “Someday, I will find this Guardian Goddess, she deserves the admiration of all Wucheng’s citizens!”
“Count me in, I’ll help you search! Superhero, here I come!”
This chuunibyou energy made Lu Mian somewhat uncomfortable.
She lifted her head from the novel, gave each of them a flick on the forehead.
“Hurry up and copy the notes, finished them within three days and return them to me.”
“Mianmian, can we photocopy them? It’s faster and won’t damage the notebook, perfect!”
Lu Mian smiled with narrowed eyes, “You may try.”
“…” That they really dared not do.
Copying notes is the simplest method of memorization whether you understand the material or not, as long as you copy it earnestly, you’ll gain something from it.
This was indeed Lu Mian’s original intention.
The two brothers also tacitly didn’t ask why Lu Mian wasn’t copying since, with “Professor Lu’s” level, she probably didn’t need to.
After school, Lu Mian received a call from Teacher Su.
She suddenly remembered that Teacher Su had also called her last night.
After answering, sure enough came Teacher Su’s somewhat aggrieved voice.
“Mianmian, have you forgotten about this old man?”
Lu Mian coughed slightly with embarrassment, “Teacher Su, please go ahead.”
Su Qinghe laughed heartily, “Well, I have a favor to ask of you.”
