Chapter 200 - Cutting corners (1/2)

The security guard at the entrance of the cemetery chased after him. When he saw Xu Le standing there, his voice trembled in fear.

“I remember patrolling once around the place and there was no one. When did you sneak in? This…”

He was worried. Fortunately, nothing had happened.

Xu Le’s expression was cold as he watched the old man complain to Lu Yuxi.

“You know him?”

“Whoever it is, take him away first. You’re really making me angry. If I didn’t know you, I would have scolded this brat today.”

“Alright, Uncle Zhang, we’ll leave soon.”

Lu Yuxi was very familiar with the security guard. She patted his shoulder and comforted him. “I have already found him. Nothing will happen if I stay here. Just ten minutes. We will leave in ten minutes!”

The old man looked reluctant. Finally, he waved his hand and walked to the steps nearby. He sat down and stared at them with his flashlight.

Lu Yuxi squatted down and heaved a sigh of relief.

“I was so scared. When I realized you were gone, I didn’t even bring my phone…” Then she saw the steamed fish at the grave.

“Did you cook your parents’ favorite food and bring it over to visit them?”

Lu Yuxi was stunned. After saying that, she shook her head and said, “Sigh, things are unpredictable. My condolences.”

“There’s no need.” Xu Le sat down beside her and said, “I can’t even remember what they look like.”

The accident happened too suddenly. When his relatives came to help clean up, they accidentally lost their photos containing their memories. Moreover, more than ten years had passed, and only a vague image of his parents remained in Xu Le’s heart.

“Xu Le.”

Lu Yuxi called out to him and tears flowed uncontrollably. “I thought I would never see you again.”

This was true. After all, no one knew that his soul had transmigrated to a child and that he had the strongest Master Chef System. Even if he told others, no one would believe him.

“In school, you’ve never looked for me. Apart from Li Shengsheng, we don’t have any other mutual friends.” Xu Le scratched the back of his head and said in surprise, “How did you like me so much?”

Lu Yuxi was stunned. She wiped her tears and scolded angrily, “Don’t be too proud of yourself.” Then, she turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Le was about to follow when he saw her turn around. She said angrily, “Pfft, who do I have the right to decide who I like? If you’re not interested in me, why did you help me pay for the meal in the canteen at that time? I didn’t get shrimp tofu, but you gave me your share?”

She questioned him righteously. Xu Le choked, then his lips twitched and his eyes lit up.

“It’s not embarrassing to have a crush on me. Back then at school…”

“Didn’t you work part-time in the school cafeteria at that time? Your hands never trembled when you passed me food. Do you dare say you didn’t notice me at that time?”

Lu Yuxi continued to ask. Xu Le thought to himself, ‘You’re the school belle. Shouldn’t I take care of beautiful people?’

But he didn’t say it. He gestured and said, “Let’s go home.”

The word “home” was emphasized, as if it meant something.

Lu Yuxi instantly understood what he meant and said, “Sure, I’ll book a flight at dawn.”

The security guard guarding the cemetery saw that the two of them were about to leave and got up to send them off. He said, “You two young people must not run around. It’s a taboo to visit the cemetery at night. Sigh… go go go.”
