Chapter 112: Chapter 112: It’s Annoying When You Can’t Find Your Enemy

Lu Xiao truly felt that Su Qin was very similar to Su Yan.

It wasn’t just because she didn’t speak, but more so a similar temperament.

"So can you hear me speaking?" Lu Xiao couldn’t help but ask Su Qin.

Faced with Lu Xiao’s question, Su Qin still didn’t react much, though there seemed to be a bit more questioning in her eyes.

It seemed that she couldn’t speak, nor could she hear.

"Mr. Lu, you can type messages on your phone to communicate with Su Qin," someone suggested nearby.

Lu Xiao immediately caught on, took out his phone, thought for a few seconds, typed a line, and then put the phone in front of Su Qin.

"Hello, my name is Lu Xiao, may I take a photo with you?"

Seeing the text on the phone, a smile appeared on Su Qin’s face, and then she nodded gently.

Soon, Lu Xiao held up the phone and took a selfie with Su Qin.

In the photo, Su Qin’s smile was bright and resplendent.

"Turns out, they are different after all," Lu Xiao muttered to himself as he looked at the photo.

Su Yan gave off an extremely proud aura, as if she disdained speaking with others.

Whereas Su Qin was the exact opposite, she was smiley and had a very gentle personality.

At that moment, Su Qin also took out her phone and began typing on the screen.

"I saw your fight, it was amazing."

"My name is Su Qin, may I add you as a friend?"

Seeing these two lines, Lu Xiao nodded, then opened the social app and added Su Qin.

By the time the cable car reached the base of the mountain, Lu Xiao had already gotten quite familiar with Su Qin.

The two of them even made plans to have a meal together.

However, they hadn’t set a date for the meal, as, according to Su Qin, she needed to return to her clan first.

As for when she could come out again after returning, it was uncertain...

After saying goodbye to Su Qin and the others, Lu Xiao took a car back to the courtyard house.

The yard was as usual, the plants meticulously cared for, peaceful and quiet. As evening approached, the faintly yellow setting sun scattered its light here and there, creating a mottled beauty that relaxed Lu Xiao completely.

Lu Xiao threw down his backpack and grabbed the lounge chair to sit by the pond.

He opened his phone, played some songs randomly, then grabbed some fish food and began feeding.

Probably after two or three songs, slow footsteps came from behind.

"Aunt Liu, is dinner ready?" Lu Xiao asked without turning his head from the lounge chair.

"How did you know it was me?" Liu Mingshu’s voice came in response.

"I heard the footsteps."

"Footsteps can tell you who it is?"

"Of course, Su Yan walks as if the whole world owes her something."

Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s explanation, Liu Mingshu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Lu Xiao’s description was indeed accurate, as Su Yan did walk rather hurriedly.

"The rice isn’t ready yet," Liu Mingshu said as she sat down beside Lu Xiao, "Did you encounter something troubling?"

Although Lu Xiao appeared normal, Liu Mingshu could still detect some emotional changes in him based on certain details.

Was it the Martial Arts Exchange? Did he lose badly?

"Yes," Lu Xiao didn’t deny it.

"Can’t find the enemy, it’s really frustrating," Lu Xiao added.

Looking for an enemy?

"What kind of feud?" Liu Mingshu asked.

"One of patricide, one of matricide."

Liu Mingshu was stunned for several seconds, realizing then... Lu Xiao’s parents had passed away. No wonder, such a large house, yet not a single family member lived there.

He truly was a pitiable child.

She had initially wanted to offer some words of consolation to Lu Xiao, but with a feud over his parents involved, she found herself at a loss for words.

"Take your time, you’ll find them eventually," Liu Mingshu patted Lu Xiao on the shoulder.

"Understood, Aunt Liu." Lu Xiao nodded, then pulled out the photo of his parents holding him as a baby.

"Dad, Mom, just wait a bit longer, just a bit longer..." Lu Xiao bowed his head, carefully wiping the photo frame, murmuring to himself.

Lu Xiao didn’t notice that Liu Mingshu, who had initially stood up to leave, was now staring intensely at the photo in his hands.

Liu Mingshu’s pupils dilated, her hands trembled, and her whole being was like a tensed bowstring.

Soon, Liu Mingshu’s eyes began to redden, her mouth opened as if she wanted to say something to Lu Xiao, but the words choked back down her throat.

But the way Liu Mingshu looked at Lu Xiao had changed, becoming extremely gentle.

"Lu Xiao." After about half a minute, Liu Mingshu having struggled to control her emotions, called out.

Lu Xiao turned his head, "What is it, Aunt Liu?"

Lu Xiao was somewhat puzzled; Aunt Liu had always addressed him as Mr. Lu, insisting on saying Lu Xiao was uncomfortable for her, why did she suddenly start calling him Lu Xiao now?

"Nothing, Aunt Liu will make you something nice to eat."

After speaking, Liu Mingshu turned and left directly.

Watching Liu Mingshu’s retreating figure, Lu Xiao’s head filled with a series of question marks.

I haven’t misunderstood, have I? Aunt Liu wants to make something nice for me!

To think, he was merely a moocher with no right to order dishes, basically whatever Liu Mingshu cooked, he just mooched.

"She must think I’m quite pitiable," Lu Xiao quickly came to that conclusion.
