The Scum Gong’s Redemption Manual (Quick Transmigration) 23p1

Chapter 23 p1

Back home, after organizing the things they had bought, Lin Zhiyan looked at the last remaining item and put it in the bedside table with a red face.

Lu Ze didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all and even pulled him to watch a movie together.

It was a romance film, both funny and touching.

The two snuggled together, and Lin Zhiyan’s heart gradually calmed down.

But when the movie ended and Lin Zhiyan was cornered in the bathroom, he started to get nervous again.

Soon, he knew what it felt like.

Lu Ze touched his slightly bulging lower abdomen and laughed in his ear.

Lin Zhiyan heard what he was saying, raised his arm to cover his rosy face, not wanting to look at him, but his heart was pounding.

What… baby’s…

Simply…

…

After Christmas, most of the subjects had finished their classes, and only a few teachers were still holding on.

After finishing most of the final exams within a week, Lin Zhiyan instantly relaxed.

The professor knew his situation and slowly arranged more project practice for him. The intensity was not high, and Lin Zhiyan was also adept at it.

The two of them were busy with their own things during the day, occasionally sharing their updates. When they saw each other’s, they would both smile knowingly.

This evening, calculating the time Lin Zhiyan would be back, Lu Ze was about to leave the company when the group of the original host’s cronies, which he had long ignored, suddenly became lively.

Lu Ze looked down and saw that the screen was full of messages:

【Young Master Lu, the three months are almost up. How is it going?】

【Young Master Lu, say something. The bet is almost up. At least let us know who won and who lost!】

【I’ve been eyeing Young Master Qi’s car for a long time. It’s just sitting there, and he hasn’t even driven it once. A precious car is gathering dust!】

【Look at what you’re saying. Who is Young Master Lu? Since he’s made a move, it’s definitely a sure thing!】

【I wonder when Young Master Lu can bring him over for us to see? So we brothers can also get to know him, in case we’re not careful and offend him in the future?】

The group was noisy, talking about this and that, but the focus was on Lu Ze.

He leaned back lazily and casually replied to a message:

【Am I a mouse? Squeaking?】

The group was instantly quiet for a moment. The person who had been called out quickly replied:

【I misspoke. Don’t be angry, Young Master Lu. Don’t be angry.】

Lu Ze didn’t reply. Seeing this, someone in the group mentioned again: 【Although with Young Master Lu’s move, it’s definitely not a problem. But everyone is curious. Why don’t you bring him over tonight for us to see?】

This was an obvious probing. The people in the group were also watching. Lu Ze knew what they were thinking, and he also knew that someone was behind this. He didn’t keep them in suspense and said:

【He’s introverted and doesn’t like those occasions, so no.】

Someone tentatively asked: 【Then what you’re saying, Young Master Lu, is that if you don’t bring him over, how will we know you’ve won him over?】

Lu Ze: 【There are a bunch of photos on the A University forum. Can’t you go and look? Don’t you have a mouth to ask around?】

He added: 【If you’re afraid that I sent someone to release them, feel free to have someone investigate.】

The atmosphere in the group was a bit awkward. Someone quickly tried to smooth things over: 【What are you talking about? Would Young Master Lu do something like that?】

【Yes, yes, we’ve also seen it on the A University forum. Young Master Lu and Mr. Lin have such a good relationship. We were just curious and wanted to meet him. Now that I think about it, it was indeed a bit presumptuous, hahaha.】

【No hurry, no hurry. Since it’s not convenient for Mr. Lin, then Young Master Lu, you can come and play. We haven’t gathered for a long time, have we?】

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone echoed: 【That’s right. After Young Master Lu got a beauty, he just threw us all to the back of his mind. We haven’t been out to play for a long time.】

【It’s a rare gathering this time. It would be unreasonable for you not to come, right, Young Master Lu?】

【And by the way, you can also tell us how you won over such a cold and aloof beauty, so we can also learn from you.】

The group was noisy. All sorts of thoughts flashed through Lu Ze’s mind, and he typed a “good” on the keyboard.

The person on the other side was pleasantly surprised: 【Then it’s settled for eight o’clock tonight at Huating. We’ll be waiting for you, Young Master Lu!】

Lu Ze replied: 【Don’t worry.】

He casually typed: 【Have Qi Kuo get the car ready for me.】

On the other side, the person who had been waiting in the group saw the message and quickly called Qi Kuo. Qi Kuo was fiddling with a flower and asked casually, “Did Lu Ze agree?”

The person said, “He agreed.”

Qi Kuo’s action of fiddling with the flower paused, and he snorted. “Alright, I know. Just make sure Lu Ze goes tonight.”

The person hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master Qi, are you… really planning to give him that car?”

Qi Kuo said, “It’s just a car. I’m not so petty as to not be able to afford to lose.”

“Besides,” he brought his two fingers together and nonchalantly pinched off the blooming flower at its root, and said flatly, “in this bet, who wins and who loses is not yet certain.”

The person was confused. It was an obvious matter. He didn’t know what Qi Kuo was trying to do by going through all this trouble.

Qi Kuo said coldly, “It has nothing to do with you. Just do your job.”

The person numbly agreed and didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

…

As class was about to end, Lin Zhiyan found that there was a problem with the experimental procedure today, which led to a large error in the final data.

He had always been the type to finish the day’s work on the same day, so he planned to go back later and finish this experiment first. Just as he was about to send a message to Lu Ze, a message from the other party came first, saying that he had something to do tonight and couldn’t go home for dinner, and would probably be back around ten.

This kind of thing happened occasionally. Lin Zhiyan didn’t pay much attention to it. After telling him that he would be back late too, he received a message from Lu Ze reminding him to eat properly, and a smile couldn’t help but cross his cold face.

The white lab coat outlined his slender figure. Compared to his previous thinness, he had obviously gained some weight, which was also thanks to Lu Ze’s persistent feeding.

The white light in the laboratory was bright and without a trace of impurity, shining on the young man’s fair and delicate face. His well-defined fingers held a glass test tube, and his clear eyes held a bit of lifeless rigor and seriousness.

It was completely different from the soft and obedient appearance he had in front of Lu Ze.

People came and went outside the laboratory. Lin Zhiyan was focused and did not look sideways. Apart from the experiment and Lu Ze, no one else could distract him even a little.

At a little after nine, the final conclusion was finally reached. Lin Zhiyan shook his neck. After standing all day, he only felt his back and legs were sore, and his whole body was stiff.

There was only the final finishing work left. Lin Zhiyan had originally planned to finish it in one go, but the phone he had placed on the side suddenly rang at this moment.

It was a special ringtone, for Lu Ze.

Lin Zhiyan picked it up, and his originally cold expression instantly softened. He answered the phone, his voice carrying an unconscious softness, “Hello?”

Lin Zhiyan had originally thought that Lu Ze had finished his work early, but he didn’t expect that after a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a strange voice came through, “Ahem, is this… Mr. Lin?”

Lin Zhiyan’s hand holding the phone tightened, and his expression slowly turned cold. “Yes, you are…?”

“It’s like this. Young Master Lu was at a party with us tonight and accidentally drank too much. He drove here himself. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to come and pick him up?” the voice on the other end said.

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyan immediately put down the things in his hand and quickly tidied up the experimental bench, but his face was calm as he asked, “Did Lu Ze ask me to pick him up?”

“Uh… yes, yes…” the person stammered, “You should come over quickly. It’s at Huating, private room 319 on the third floor.”

After the person finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Lin Zhiyan looked at the phone in silence for a while, then strode to the door, took off his lab coat, put on his own clothes, and walked out.

He had a driver’s license, but he hadn’t driven much. His home was close to the school, so he didn’t have many opportunities to practice.

If Lu Ze was really drunk, he wouldn’t dare to drive.

Thinking of this, after getting into a taxi, Lin Zhiyan called for a designated driver and asked him to wait in front of Huating.
