Chapter 2: Mr. Lu (1/2)

Having seen all sorts of patients, Cheng Xiwas very tolerant towards people with slightly unusual behavior, and didn’t mind his demeanor that much. Since her teacher had introduced her, she smiled and greeted, “Nice to meet you.”

But Lu Chenzhou kept staring at her, his forehead slowly creasing. “You only have one dimple?”

Cheng Xi, slightly baffled, automatically replied, “Yes.”

“How ugly!”

This unexpected evaluation left Cheng Xi speechless. Cai Yi also looked on blankly for a moment before laughing heartily. “Your students would probably cry if they ever heard that someone evaluated a professor renowned for her beauty as ugly, haha.”

She laughed so happily that Cheng Xi felt a bit exasperated, and she said to Lu Chenzhou, “I’m sorry for disgusting you with my ugliness. Do you want me to cover up that side of my face?”

This sparked another bout of laughter from Cai Yi, but it was as if Lu Chenzhou couldn’t sense the humor in her tone. He expressionlessly looked down at his watch. “Let’s go.”

Cai Yi wiped the tears of laughter off of her face. “Your grandparents aren’t here yet.”

“They’re late. Do we need to wait for them?” Lu Chenzhou responded indifferently, his voice detached.

Cheng Xi had some more time to look at him now. Lu Chenzhou was indeed expressionless, his handsome face as apathetic as still water.

She raised her eyebrows slightly upon seeing that Cai Yi was blinking rapidly at her. “Let’s go.”

“Hm?”

“To get food with us.”

“Oh.” Cheng Xi helped her teacher up, and then followed along somewhat confusedly.

Lu Chenzhou’s grandparents never showed up, so it was only the three of them at the dining table. Lu Chenzhou was reticent, and it was mainly Cheng Xi and Cai Yi doing the talking during the meal.

But just as the waiter served the last fruit platter, he did say something. “Remove it.”
