Chapter 12 - That was Lu Jue. No, that was Lu Jue when he was young! (1)
The faint, sweet aroma from the cake filled the study.
Ning Zhi looked above Lu Jue’s head by the indicator was empty. There were no little suns inside of it.
She walked over to Lu Jue and whispered into his ear. “I stood in line for a long time. So long that my legs were hurting.” She lied to him. There were a lot of people inside the dessert shop but there was no line.
Ning Zhi lied and wooed him. “Lu Jue, if you like this. I can go stand in line and get them for you every day.”
She stared intensely at the indicator over Lu Jue’s head and there was still nothing.
Did he not like it? Or was the cake not good?
Was he not happy at all for the trouble that she had gone through to get him the cake?
Lu Jue shook his head. “No like. No stand in line.”
He didn’t like it and he didn’t want her to stand in line.
Ning Zhi understood what he meant. It looked like she would not be able to get any little suns from him this time.
She looked over at the little kiddo with his lips stuck way out and clutching tightly to his tyrannosaur rex. “Come over here, Coconut Cake.”
Ye Zhigao sniffled and his two little feet stepped over one another but he didn’t move.
Ning Zhi found this comical. The little kiddo has a temper. “Do you want some cake?”
Ye Zhigao walked over with the tyrannosaur rex in his hand. In his milky voice, he said righteously, “It isn’t me who wants to have cake. It’s tyrannosaur rex who does.”
“I will give you some if you apologize to your cousin.”
Ning Zhi reached out again and pinched him on his meaty cheek. “And, you have to promise that you will not go around calling people idiots. Let it be your cousin, or your classmate. If I ever find out, I will tie you up, put 10 cakes in front of you so you can only see them but not eat them.”
Ning Zhi was very evil. “Oh, and you have to throw away your tyrannosaur rex.”
Ye Zhigao quickly gripped tightly onto his tyrannosaur rex. “No, I can’t throw little rexie away.”
He pouted a little and then said to Lu Jue in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”
Ning Zhi, “Aren’t you a boy? You said it so softly that I am not able to feel your sincerity at all.”
Ye Zhigao felt wronged. Still sounding milky, he raised his voice, “I’m sorry. I won’t call you an idiot again.
Ning Zhi handed over to him the cake that was untouched. “Here.”
The little kiddo’s black, round eyes lit up.
Ning Zhi leaned closer to Lu Jue and wanted recognition for her accomplishment. “Coconut Cake was mean to you and I have taught hi ma lesson for you.” Seeing that his lips seemed a little dry, she put the glass of water next to him into his hand. “From now on, anyone who dares to be mean to you will be taught a lesson by me.”
She touched Lu Jue’s hand. The tips of his fingers were cold.
Ning Zhi looked up before she gotten a respond from Lu Jue and, suddenly, she saw a little sun over the head of Ye Zhigao, who was happily working away on the cake. There were no indicator, just the little sun.
It was tiny and not as bright as Lu Jue’s.
What was going on?
Surprised, she quickly asked the Overlord. “How come I could see that there is a little sun over Coconut Cake’s head?”
Overlord: [Through physical contact with Lu Jue, you will be able to see the little sun of others when they are happy.]
Ning Zhi was surprised. “I will be able to other’s emotions if I am touching Lu Jue? Just like I could see Lu Jue’s?”
Overlord: [Not everyone has little suns. It all comes down to fate.]
Looking at the little kiddo who was happily eating away, Ning Zhi had a happy look on her. It was much easier to woo Coconut Cake than Lu Jue.
She asked Overlord, “Does that mean I can have an unlimited supply of little suns if I can woo Coconut Cake? Will I be able to get my halo back quickly?”
Ning Zhi’s great idea was interrupted by Overlord right away: [Host, with the exception of Lu Jue, all the others only have one little sun.]
Ning Zhi sighed. Sure enough, Lu Jue was the best tool.
“Is it tasty?” Ning Zhi rubbed Ye Zhigao on his head tenderly.
Ye Zhigao nodded his head docilely. “Yes. And tyrannosaur rex said so too.”
Looking at the little sun that’s in her head now, Ning Zhi’s smile became more tender. It wasn’t as bright as Lu Jue’s sun, but it could still get her back 1% of her halo.
That evening, Song Rou and Ye Zhigao stayed at the Lu’s residence for dinner.
Ning Zhi accompanied Lu Jue to the dining room and she only sat down next to him after he had sat down at his usual spot.
Over dinner, Song Ruo observed the way that Ning Zhi was eating. She noticed that Ning Zhi’s mannerism and etiquette were impeccable, as though she had been raised that way for a long, long time.
Words had it that she was from a well-off family before her parents passed away?
Naturally, Ning Zhi noticed that she was being studied. That didn’t bother her. In fact, she was eating heartily. She planning to exchange the little sun for her halo later.
With a lout BAM! A bowl fell and shattered on the floor instantly and rice went flying all over.
Ning Zhi quickly looked over at Lu Jue.
His lips were shut tight and, his head lowered, he was smacking it against the dining table.
“Xiao Jue.” Mother Lu’s face turned pale.
