Chapter 184: I Like Them All

Lu Huaiyu’s voice was deep and collected, like the sound of someone plucking on a cello, which could easily stir one’s heart.

Ning Li held her bowl with both hands and looked down. The tips of her ears inexplicably tingled.

When Yu Pingchuan heard Lu Huaiyu praising Ning Li, he was so elated and proud that he did not notice the way this man addressed his star pupil.

“Lili, how was your physics competition?”

Yu Pingchuan had not seen Ning Li for a while and had originally wanted to ask her about the painting. However, since Lu Huaiyu’s presence made it a little inconvenient, he found another topic.

Ning Li replied, “The results will be out tomorrow.”

Yu Pingchuan nodded.

“By the way, I heard that if you do well in this exam, you’ll have to go to the Capital for some intensive training?”

At that, Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ning Li nodded and said, “The top five in the province will be sent to the Capital to participate in the intensive training during the winter holidays for two weeks. The national finals will be held at the beginning of March.”

“Two weeks?”

Yu Pingchuan was interested.

“Coincidentally, I’ll be back in the Capital during that time. Why don’t you stay at my place?”

Ning Li smiled helplessly and reminded him. “Master Yu, the provincial results aren’t even out yet, so I’m not even sure if I’ll be going. Besides, that intensive training is a full-board program, so we’re not given the option of staying in our own accommodation.”

“Oh, I see…”

Yu Pingchuan was a little disappointed.

“I just thought of taking you…”

His voice suddenly stalled before he continued, “Never mind then. That can wait until you’re done with the competition.”

It seemed like he was not at all worried about Ning Li failing the exam.

Ning Li suddenly said, “Oh, right! I saw that many fruits in your refrigerator weren’t very fresh, so I cleared them out for you.”

Yu Pingchuan’s heart thumped.

‘Oh no! My apple, longan, and cantaloupe!’

Yu Pingchuan’s hand trembled slightly.

“But…but I just bought them yesterday, it should be fresh…”

“Oh? Did you buy that much yesterday?”

Ning Li smiled and continued, “It looks like you’ve been taking in quite a bit of sugar lately…”

Yu Pingchuan knew that he had made a slip of the tongue and immediately sat upright.

“No, it wasn’t me! It’s all Lil Lin’s fault. He bought it himself! He just likes to buy a bunch of things all at once… I’ve tried telling him several times, but he just…”

“Then I’ll tell Uncle Lin not to buy so much next time. Otherwise, it’s too wasteful.” Ning Li took a bite of the shrimp. “After all, you can’t eat them, and Uncle Lin certainly can’t eat all of it by himself, right?”

Yu Pingchuan said, “You’re absolutely right! We’ll scold him later!”

Lu Huaiyu watched their interaction from the side and found it quite amusing.
