Chapter 117 – An Unlikely Friendship (2)
When Lu Xun returned to the living room, there was also a cup of his favorite blue mountain coffee waiting for him next to his favorite spot .
“Shanshan told me over the phone yesterday that she wants more fish . Since I happened to get a few today, I thought I’d bring them over . ” He lowered his head and took a sip of the coffee . With a look of enjoyment on him, he said, “Even coffee tastes better at your house than mine . ”
Xiao Qian, who had always received compliments about his coffee from Mr . Lu: Meow, meow, meow???
Lin Yiyi took a look at him, then at Meng Shanshan who was docilely playing with her cat .
“Since when do you two talk to each other privately?”
Meng Shanshan waved her little chubby hand and said, “I asked Uncle Lu for his number last time . He said I can let him know anytime when I want to eat something . ” Having said that, she looked up in excitement and said, “Uncle Lu is like my Doremon . Uncle Lu is the best!”
The little girl has five fruit-brand smart watches… When this high-end watch came out, it came in five different colors – white, pink, blue, yellow, orange . And they were extremely popular among students .
Meng Shanshan asked for one of each . Meng Yuran was the one who bought them for her .
The way nouveau riche Meng Yuran put it, having all the colors make it easier to mix and match with her clothes .
Alright . That wasn’t a bad reason . When she was able to make more money than she could spend, she would also buy herself a set of every color!
Lu Xun smiled happily . Then he couldn’t help but start looking around the house .
“Where’s Little Yuran?”
He felt that something was lacking without the little wolf cub there staring at him . Normally, that pair of cold eyes would follow him around as soon as he walked inside the door . His sense of presence was impossible to overlook .
Even Lin Yiyi could feel the hostility that her instant son has against him, so she was genuinely surprised when Lu Xun brought up Meng Yuran . She assumed the two of them were just natural enemies who would never get along!

“School is about to start and his classmates asked for his homework . He already left to go to his classmate’s house . ”

Meng Yuran also hadn’t expected that he had just walked out of the door when the Lu guy showed up .
And, it was his fool of a sister who let him in again!
Xie Ning’s room was pretty massive . On top of one desk, two young men were frantically copying while complaining in between .
“Hot dang! We were supposed to write journal entries or our language class? One a day? Are they crazy?!” Xu Jie tossed away his pen viciously, slammed his language textbook shut, and pulled out his mathematics one .
“We are about to start junior high school . Why do we still have to suffer under our grade school teachers?” Li YueBin wasn’t faring much better .

School would be starting in a week, but he had just started on his summer homework assignment two days ago . There were already dark circles under his eyes and he wished he’d just drop dead .
Xie Ning, sitting over by the bay window and just finishing up a game with Meng Yuran, said cheerfully after hearing his friend’s words . “Fun during the vacation, not so fun when school’s starting . That’s because the two of you hadn’t touched your homework at all during the entire summer vacation . Who do you have to blame?”
Both him and Meng Yuran have good grades, but they couldn’t handle their two leg-pulling friends . There had been non-stop phone calls from the two of them every day…
Xu Jie put down his pen, stretched, and said, “I can’t help it . I went on a vacation with my family as soon as the vacation started, then I was pulled into playing basketball by the team after I got back . ”
“Speaking of, didn’t Little Yuran go on a two-week vacation too? When did you find time to work on your homework?” asked Li YueBin .
Meng Yuran, poking at his screen, didn’t even look up, “I finished it before my trip . It only took me a week to finish them all . ”
Xie Ning made fun of the two again . “You think everyone is like the two of you? Little Yuran is a true cum laude . This bit of homework is like nothing to him, okay?”

Having two cum laude as their buddies . What more could they ask for?
Finding a hole in his story, Xu Jie said, “What about the daily journal entry requirement? Are you telling me that you’ve written 60 diary entries all over 7 days? I don’t believe you!”
As they were talking, they finished up another round in their game .
Winning in a landslide, Meng Yuran put down his phone and looked over at his friend with sarcasm . “We have spent 6 years in grade school and have written at least hundreds, if not over 1,000 essays . All I needed to do was to copy from 60 of them . ”
All of his friends were shocked by how resourceful he was . That method had never occurred to them!
“Plus, do you really think our instructors would read all of the dairies? At 60 entries per person, that’s 2,400 per class . Even at 500 words each, that’s over 1 . 2 million words…”
He curved his thin lips a bit and snickered, “No instructor would have the patience to read them all . ”
