Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 523 - Prodigy Chu

Chapter 523: Prodigy Chu

Teacher Wang looked at Lu Sheng and nodded. “Then sit here and rest. The rest of you go and run one round.”
“Thank you!”
Lu Sheng thanked Yang Chunmei in a low voice.
It was all her master’s fault. Why did he have to fabricate a heart attack for her?
Now, she could not even run anymore…
Yang Chunmei smiled at her and ran away with the team.
Lu Sheng chose a shady spot and sat down.
In September, City H was still sunny.
Thankfully, there were many trees nearby the field, so there were shady places.
“Junior, do you want some water?”
Someone walked over and passed her a bottle of cold water.
Lu Sheng looked up and saw Pei Yan standing in front of her with a bottle of water. Beside him was the youth.
The youth was looking down at her with his fringe covering his eyes.
“No need, thank you!”
Lu Sheng retracted her gaze and smiled at Pei Yan.
“Really?” Pei Yan widened his eyes and said with an injured expression, “This is the first time I’m treating a girl to water!”
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I don’t drink cold water.”
“So you don’t want to drink cold water. I’ll get you another bottle.”
Pei Yan placed the cold water back into the bag and took out a non-cold bottle.
Lu Sheng’s smile froze and she could only receive it awkwardly. “Thank you!”
The excuse of not drinking cold water was just an excuse. She did not expect him to have non-cold water.
“Junior, let me help you…”
Before Pei Yan could finish speaking, Chu Yan suddenly reached out and took the bottle of water from Lu Sheng’s hand. He unscrewed the cap for her before returning it to her.
Lu Sheng was speechless.
Were all the seniors in this school so enthusiastic?
“Pei Yan, where’s my mineral water?”
At this moment, a girl in a tracksuit with a high ponytail walked over.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Ling Fei!” Pei Yan said innocently. “I only bought cold water. I don’t know if you can drink it.”
The girl called Ling Fei changed her expression slightly. She looked at the bottle of mineral water in Lu Sheng’s hand and sneered. “Pei Yan, I clearly said that I won’t drink cold water. You took my share to pick up girls, then lied to me that you didn’t buy it. Do you think I’m blind?”
Pei Yan shrugged disapprovingly. “I bought the water myself. If you can’t drink it, you can buy it yourself.”
“This is for you.”
Afraid that a bottle of mineral water would cause unnecessary trouble, Lu Sheng hurriedly handed over the bottle in her hand.
“No need.”
Ling Fei glared at her and snorted coldly before leaving.
“Tsk~”
Pei Yan rolled his eyes at her and smiled at Lu Sheng. “Junior, ignore her. She has a bad temper.”
For some reason, Lu Sheng could hear a hint of doting in his voice.
“Chu Yan, sit here with our junior for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
Pei Yan glanced at Chu Yan and left with the water.
Lu Sheng was stunned when she heard the word ‘Chu.’
She looked up at Chu Yan and asked, “Your surname is Chu?”
Chu Yan looked up at her and nodded slightly.
“Then… what’s your full name?” Lu Sheng swallowed nervously.
“Chu Yan,” he replied.
“Chu what?” Lu Sheng confirmed again.
“Chu Yan. The same ‘Yan’ as the King of Hades’ Yan.”
Slap!
The bottle of water in Lu Sheng’s hand fell to the ground immediately. As the cap was loose, water flowed out immediately.
However, as if she did not notice, she continued to stare at him in a daze and mumbled, “Chu Yan, Chu Yan, Chu Sihan, Yan Han.”
So, he was actually her Ah Han?
“Are… you alright?”
Chu Yan looked at her suspiciously and frowned. “You know me?”
Lu Sheng suddenly smiled. “I didn’t know you before, but I know you now.”
She was not sure if he was Chu Sihan yet, but she would find out.
“Name.”
Chu Yan looked at her and asked softly.
Lu Sheng’s eyes darted around before she said lightly, “My name is Jiang Jing.”
“Jiang Jing?”
Chu Yan mumbled and a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
Without the word ‘Sheng,’ was she not the person in his dream?
Or did she know that person?
However, why did his gaze always fall on her? Why would he subconsciously pay attention to her?
This feeling was really magical. It was the first time in seventeen years that he had such a feeling.
Also, why did she have such a big reaction when she knew his name just now?
Could it be that she had seen him before? Or did she know him?
“Jiang Jing, your friend?”
On the other hand, Yang Chunmei, who had run back, was panting as she asked Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng nodded and smiled. “Yes, he’s my friend.”
Chu Yan’s thoughts were interrupted. He glanced at Yang Chunmei expressionlessly and said to Lu Sheng, “I’ll go over first. I’ll find you later.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay.”
On the other hand, Pei Yan was about to come over. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, he saw Chu Yan walking towards him and could only stop.
Lu Sheng picked up the empty bottle from the ground and threw it into a nearby bin. The bottle fell into the bin accurately.
Yang Chunmei looked at the drama and could not help but click her tongue.
The bin was more than ten meters away. The slamdunk was too beautiful.
On the other hand, Zhou Mei, Zhu Ling, and the rest saw Chu Yan and Pei Yan walking over to Lu Sheng. They even passed her water and chatted. The girls could not help but feel a little jealous.
Chen Yizhen glanced at them and walked forward to ask Lu Sheng, “Jiang Jing, do you know Senior Pei and Senior Chu?”
When Zhu Ling, Zhou Mei, and the rest heard that, they pricked up their ears to listen.
Lu Sheng glanced at them from the corner of her eye and smiled secretly.
She nodded at Chen Yizhen. “Yes, my friends.”
Chen Yizhen smiled and turned to look at Zhu Ling. She had a strange expression.
“Those two are influential characters.” Yang Chunmei narrowed her eyes and asked Lu Sheng, “Jiang Jing, tell me the truth. Did Chu Yan suddenly change schools because of you?”
Lu Sheng was stunned. Then, she shook her head in amusement. “I don’t think so.”
She and Chu Yan had only officially met today. It was a bit ridiculous to say that she was the reason.
Yang Chunmei said, “I heard that his father is the president of Xinghao Entertainment. His uncle is the mayor of our City H, and his grandfather is the leader of the Chu Group. His identity is incredible!”
Lu Sheng was secretly shocked when she heard that. She did not expect Chu Sihan’s background to be so powerful.
She did not pay much attention to the Chu Group, but she knew about Xinghao Entertainment. That was because there were various top celebrities gathered in that company. The people who won Best Actor and Best Actress were all from Xinghao Entertainment.
However, she had seen the mayor of City H before. His name was Chu Tao, and he seemed to be good friends with Shangguan Dian.
“Is this new senior so powerful?”
Chen Yizhen was also shocked.
She came from a good family background, but she was humble compared to Zhu Ling’s family.
However, compared to Chu Yan, their family seemed to be nothing.
“You don’t know him?”
Yang Chunmei looked at Chen Yizhen in surprise.
Chen Yizhen shook her head. “I’ve never heard of him before.”
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I just met him not long ago.”
Yang Chunmei chuckled when she heard that. “No wonder you don’t know him. He used to be an influential character in Erzhong. He never listened to class but scored full marks in all his subjects. Even the teachers praised him non-stop.”
Zhou Mei suddenly understood and said, “Could he be the famous Prodigy Chu from Erzhong?”
Yang Chunmei, Zhou Mei, and Zhu Ling did not get along. When she saw that it was Zhou Mei who asked, she did not answer.
Instead, she continued to explain to Lu Sheng, “Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you want to enter the entertainment circle or work in the Chu Group. As long as you suck up to Prodigy Chu, I guarantee that you won’t have to worry about food and drink.”
Lu Sheng blinked and said softly, “I don’t have to worry about food and drink now either.”
“That’s true.”
Yang Chunmei sighed softly and sat down beside her. She sighed and said, “Rich people like you won’t understand how poor people like us feel.”
As if remembering something, Yang Chunmei’s face darkened.
Lu Sheng wanted to ask her a few questions, but Teacher Wang had already called them to gather.
What followed was simple gymnastics.
Teacher Wang looked burly and was quite a nice person. He actually let them stay in a shady place.
“Who’s that girl?”
Ling Fei looked at Lu Sheng, who was standing in the third row, and asked the girl sitting beside her.
“Which one?”
Ling Fei took a sip of water and said lightly, “The first in the third row.”
The girl looked over and said, “Oh, I’ve seen her before. When you applied for leave previously, she sent some teaching materials to Teacher Zeng. She’s very good-looking. Pei Yan seems to like her.”
“That’s true.”
Ling Fei sized Lu Sheng up and said lightly, “She’s quite pretty, much prettier than Zhou Qiong.”
“Isn’t that so?” The girl smiled and said, “I’m afraid Zhou Qiong’s position as the school belle is gone.”
Ling Fei sneered. “It’s just a fake title.”
The girl smiled and did not speak further.
All the older students knew that Ling Fei and Zhou Qiong liked Pei Yan, but he did not seem to like them.
Ling Fei turned her gaze and happened to see Chu Yan staring not far away.
She followed his gaze and realized that Chu Yan was looking at the junior.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and suddenly stood up, walking towards Chu Yan.
“Chu Yan, you like her?”
Chu Yan glanced at her indifferently and walked away.
Pei Yan and the boys in class were playing basketball, and there were a lot of people surrounding them.
Chu Yan did not go over to take a look. Instead, he walked to where Lu Sheng was previously and sat down. He lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Ling Fei pouted and looked at the boys on the court.
Pei Yan played quite well. He received the ball from his teammate and scored a beautiful three-pointer.
The boys and girls beside him were clapping and cheering for him.
Ling Fei’s eyes darkened and she retracted her gaze silently. She returned to the girl’s side and sat down.
Lu Sheng and the rest had only learned a few moves when class ended.
Teacher Wang did not delay the class. He only told them to do what they had just learned before letting them end class early.
“Shall we go to the dining hall?”
Yang Chunmei walked to the side and picked up her bag. She raised her eyebrows and asked Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng turned back and glanced at Chu Yan. She raised an eyebrow at Yang Chunmei and said, “I still have some matters to attend to.”
“Okay, I’ll get going first.”
“Okay.”
Yang Chunmei smiled and patted her shoulder before leaving with the other female classmates.
Lu Sheng walked in front of Chu Yan and asked, “Are you waiting for me?”
Chu Yan did not expect her to be so direct. After being stunned for a while, he nodded.
“Shall we find a place to sit?” she suggested.
Chu Yan nodded again.
On the other hand, Pei Yan wanted to look for the two of them, but when he saw them leave, he stopped in his tracks.
He clicked his tongue and smiled. “Chu Yan, this ten-thousand-year-old bachelor, has finally thought it through.”
—————
Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng did not go to the dining hall. Instead, they went to a restaurant near the school and asked for a private room.
Lu Sheng ordered two dishes before asking Chu Yan, “Senior Chu, what do you want to eat?”
“Up to you.”
Lu Sheng looked at the waiter and said, “Then, get me a plate of braised meatballs, a plate of Kung Pao chicken, a plate of fish with pickled vegetables, and a bowl of winter melon soup with conch.”
The waiter left with the menu.
Lu Sheng looked up and sized up the person sitting opposite her. The more she looked, the more she felt that he resembled Chu Sihan.
“You…”
“You…”
The two of them spoke at the same time and stopped.
“Speak first.”
“Speak first.”
Lu Sheng blinked and smiled. “Senior Chu, please speak first.”
Chu Yan nodded. He looked at Lu Sheng for a while before saying softly, “You’re actually not Jiang Jing, right?”
Lu Sheng was stunned. “Why do you ask?”
Chu Yan said lightly, “The real Jiang Jing has heart disease and is currently receiving treatment in the capital. You’re holding her acceptance letter.”
What?
Lu Sheng was secretly shocked. This ‘Jiang Jing’ actually existed?
“I’ve checked. She looks different from you. I wonder what method you used to replace her.”
“Why do you think I’m not Jiang Jing?” Lu Sheng frowned. “Why did you investigate me?”
Chu Yan became silent immediately and looked at her, not knowing how to answer.
Should he say that he found her familiar and even had some strange dreams, which was why he went through so much trouble to get someone to investigate?
She might not believe him.
If he said he had fallen in love with her at first sight, she would not believe him even more.
“Senior Chu?”
Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Lu Sheng could not help but raise her eyebrows.
“Because Jiang Jing used to be a junior in Erzhong. Her results were good.”
Chu Yan thought about it and could only find this excuse.
“Really?” Lu Sheng glanced at him and said sarcastically, “I didn’t expect Senior Chu to look so cold but pay so much attention to his schoolmates.”
When Chu Yan heard that, his thin lips curved upwards unnoticeably.
He explained faintly, “I saw her by chance when I was helping the teacher to grade the papers.”
“Oh.”
Lu Sheng pouted and asked him, “Senior Chu, do you know Chu Sihan?”
“Chu Sihan?”
Chu Yan frowned. “Who’s that? Is he someone I should know?”
When he was dreaming, he only heard that girl call him Lord, but never Chu Sihan.
However, that person’s surname was also Chu? Could he also be from their Chu family?
However, none of the Chu family’s relatives were called Chu Sihan.
Seeing Lu Sheng’s expectant expression, that person seemed to be very important to her.
For some reason, this realization made Chu Yan feel very unhappy.
