Chapter 128 What is the most taboo thing about ambiguity?
As the saying goes, what is said without intention may be taken to heart by the listener. Lu Mingfei's casual remark that he was already taken sparked Susie's interest.
She paused for a moment as she was about to drink water, the water droplets clinging to the glass sliding down her knuckles, but she didn't put the glass down immediately.
The room was quiet for a while.
Lu Mingfei was still listening intently down the corridor and didn't notice the subtle pause at all.
"Sigh, I was thinking a while ago that we should hire some people, but looking at the current situation, I seriously suspect that the hiring process will be the same."
Susie hummed in agreement.
The sound was so soft that it would have been almost ignored if the room hadn't been so quiet.
She lowered her head, took a sip of her drink, and kept her gaze on the table without looking up immediately.
She was actually thinking about something.
Should I speak up?
In other words, I'm applying for the job myself.
After all, there's a saying that the one who confesses first loses, another that etiquette should be reciprocated, and yet another that... well, that's the gist of it!
Susie hoped that Lu Mingfei had come to invite her!
She was the one who tied the knot first! She was the one who explained the situation of this assistant to Lu Mingfei first. Why did this guy have to go through all that trouble to recruit people?
However, from an emotional perspective, Susie still had some hesitation.
The main problem is that we still don't know what's going on with Lu Mingfei.
Hey! Some of you might be wondering, Susie, you and Lu Mingfei drink together every night, how come you don't understand the situation?
Well, this involves a very delicate issue.
Susie realized that she might, perhaps, probably, 80% likely, possibly have become buddies with Lu Mingfei.
Of course, that wasn't entirely true. On other levels, she inexplicably felt like she had become Lu Mingfei's mother.
He doesn't seem to feel much of a romantic connection. Could it be that Lu Mingfei is really a blockhead, but the other person has a high EQ?
It's very subtle.
In the few seconds she hesitated, a new noise suddenly came from the other end of the corridor.
It wasn't whispering anymore, but a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock".
The sound wasn't loud, but it was very rhythmic, clearly indicating that someone had already noticed some clues.
Lu Mingfei's body reacts faster than his brain.
He sat up straight immediately, his eyes widening like copper bells.
"Wait a minute."
He lowered his voice and spoke rapidly. The knocking sound carried a chilling murderous intent. He probably didn't need to explain the first knock, because the second knock had already sounded.
"Senior Susie! Are you in your dorm? Someone said they saw Lu Mingfei go into your dorm, is he here?"
The tone was very polite.
Their politeness was so intimidating that it made people uneasy; at least Lu Mingfei felt uneasy.
He subconsciously glanced around the room, as if searching for something that could make him disappear on the spot, such as a drawer or a time machine or a portal.
"Sister Susie! You have to save me!"
"How can I save them?"
Susie also felt inexplicably nervous.
"Ugh! I need to find a place to hide!"
Lu Mingfei lowered his voice nervously and said this.
Susie glanced at the bed almost reflexively.
He glanced under the bed again.
"Over here!"
She lifted the bed sheet, which was almost dragging on the floor, and spoke as if a princess or some other type of woman in a classical literary work were lifting her skirt and letting the protagonist hide underneath.
Without offering any further explanation, Lu Mingfei understood her.
Without any hesitation, Lu Mingfei rolled over and crawled under the bed, so smoothly that not a drop of water spilled from the wine jar. His movements were so fluid that one might suspect he had rehearsed beforehand.
"Wait a minute."
He poked his head out from under the bed again.
"What if they climb out the window too?"
"No, because they knocked on the door."
Susie spoke with certainty.
But Lu Mingfei just stared at her with a dog-like expression, his eyes filled with "I don't know what the cause and effect relationship between the two is."
Susie walked over and closed the window before she finally gave up.
Susie took a deep breath, composed herself, and was about to go to open the door when she said, "I said..."
99
"go back."
"Oh, okay."
He immediately pulled his head back.
Susie then turned around to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the atmosphere of the corridor almost hit you.
Three or four girls were crowded around the entrance, all looking very restrained, but their eyes were clearly glancing inside.
"Excuse me, senior, may I bother you?"
The one who spoke first.
"We're looking for Lu Mingfei."
"...What does this have to do with me? You want to find the Silverwing Society's president in the Lionheart Society's vice president's bedroom?"
Yes, the matter itself is very abstract, but the girl in the lead has a strong intuition that Lu Mingfei might be here.
Even though Susie said that, the girls obviously didn't want to give up on this place. It was still that red-haired girl, ah, she's a completely different person from Nono.
In short, her eyes kept drifting frantically toward Susie's dormitory.
"I'm sorry, senior, but someone outside his dorm said he ran out of the window."
"Then you should ask the window or that person."
Susie answered very smoothly.
The other person choked for a moment.
Senior, we just wanted to confirm something.
Upon hearing this, Susie laughed.
"Oh? What do you mean? You want to come in and search my room? You think he'd hide here? Or why don't you search under my bed?"
Lu Mingfei was horrified under the bed, thinking to himself, "Senior, how did you get together with Colonel Cao?"
But Susie is clearly smarter than Colonel Cao.
Well, it's hard for most people not to be smarter than him.
For example, right now, because of Susie's words, the girl opposite her was somewhat intimidated.
Because once you agree, it's equivalent to creating Ye L Low Yao, the vice president of the Lionheart Society, in terms of political maneuvering.
But since there was a temptation ahead, she could only steel herself and continue speaking.
"Where is he?"
"I don't know. Maybe he's drinking in the cafeteria right now. You know, he really likes to drink."
Susie added with a slight smile.
"I really like it."
She spoke softly and gently, but with an air of unquestionable authority.
When he said "I really like it," his tone wasn't heavy, but it was as if he had completely shut the door on the conversation.
There was a two-second silence outside the door.
The girls looked at each other, none of them daring to actually search Susie's dorm room.
In the end, it was the red-haired girl who spoke first, and her tone was noticeably more subdued.
"...Sorry, senior, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Um."
Susie nodded.
"Get some rest. Also, your hair color looks great."
But it's clearly morning now, so saying "get some rest early" is no different from saying "go wash up and go to bed."
It can only be described as still about power struggles.
The red-haired girl was speechless for a moment and had no choice but to give up.
Footsteps finally sounded.
A series of footsteps echoed down the corridor, interspersed with a few whispered words.
Lu Mingfei understood that the main purpose was to find fault with Fen Gou'er, and he couldn't help but give him a mental thumbs up.
The sound faded into the distance.
Susie only closed the door after she could no longer hear anything.
A "click" sound.
The door lock is engaged.
The room fell silent again.
Susie stood behind the door, leaning against the door panel, and slowly exhaled.
"You can come out now."
she says.
There was a very cautious silence under the bed.
Then, as if he had finally confirmed that the world was safe, Lu Mingfei crawled out from under the bed.
His movements were still nimble, though his hair was a little dusty and his face had a complex expression of relief.
He said this while patting the clothes.
"Oh, Susie, thank you so much. I really don't know what I would have done without you."
Susie couldn't help but laugh.
"So what are you planning to do now?"
