461: Chapter 443 (Anti-theft Chapter) (Main text will be updated in one hour)Dark clouds covered the evening sky like a curtain, and the pitter-patter of raindrops continuously tapped against the treetops, the ground, and the edges of umbrellas.

Lu Xu held a blue umbrella, his other hand carrying a bag of newly purchased daily necessities.

It was a sudden downpour, and the pedestrians around him instantly became like ants on a hot pan, bowing their heads and rushing about in search of shelter from the rain.

Meanwhile, Lu Xu, walking unhurriedly with his umbrella, looked like someone from another world amidst the crowd.

To Lu Xu, no sudden downpour during the rainy season could make him panic. Because of his cautious and stubborn personality, he would carry that umbrella every single day he went out during the rainy season, even if the sky was perfectly clear when he left.

Looking at the panicked crowd around him, Lu Xu slightly raised an eyebrow. To him, his current composure was the reward for being prepared.

“Classmate!”

Lu Xu continued walking, minding his own business.

“Classmate!”

This time Lu Xu stopped, because someone had poked his shoulder from behind.

Lu Xu turned around, and what met his eyes was a young girl half a head shorter than him, her head slightly lowered, her long black hair already soaked by the rain. Lu Xu’s gaze shifted slightly downward; the wet white shirt not only clung to her body, outlining her curves, but also failed to fully conceal the colors of the garments beneath. It was as if Lu Xu had seen something forbidden; he quickly looked up, his face flushing slightly red.

“Is there something I can help you with?” Lu Xu’s eyes looked toward the dark sky in the distance.

“Classmate, are you heading back to the dorms?” The girl looked up as if gathering her courage, her eyes staring straight at Lu Xu.

The girl’s eyes were watery and bright, with a few raindrops hanging from her eyelashes, adding a touch of misty charm to her look.

“Yes.”

“Can you take me back with you!” The girl stood on her tiptoes, her clear eyes overflowing with a sense of pleading.

“Please, I came to the gate to pick up the Malatang our dorm ordered. Malatang... it has to be eaten while it’s hot to be delicious!”

Hearing such a peculiar reason, even Lu Xu couldn’t help but feel the corner of his mouth twitch slightly.

To him, this should count as a smile.

“Alright,” Lu Xu agreed involuntarily.

“That’s great, thank you!” The girl proactively stepped under the umbrella. Her hand hesitated in the air for a few moments before she lightly grabbed Lu Xu’s sleeve.

Lu Xu glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye. Long, straight black hair, a dainty nose, and her tall figure while walking gave off a very elegant vibe.

“Junior, what’s your name?”

“How do you know I’m your junior?”

“Because I saw you at the freshman orientation yesterday. You’re very tall and quite noticeable.” The girl smiled at Lu Xu.

“Oh, I’m Lu Xu,” Lu Xu responded. Recalling yesterday’s orientation, he remembered only wanting to stand in a corner and finish the boring process as quickly as possible; he hadn’t expected to be remembered by a senior.

“I’m Lin Muxia, a Sophomore. You can call me Senior Lin,” Lin Muxia said with a smile, looking up at Lu Xu’s smooth-lined profile.

“Mm,” Lu Xu replied casually, yet he felt as if Lin Muxia’s voice had a kind of magic that made him want to hear more.

“Eh, why are you walking faster and faster?”

Lin Muxia took small, quick steps, watching as the sleeve she was holding was pulled further and further away.

“Because originally, this umbrella could cover my entire body. Walking slower would reduce the chance of my footsteps splashing water and getting my pants dirty,” Lu Xu said, looking at Lin Muxia seriously. “But now that the two of us can’t be perfectly covered, walking faster will mean getting less soaked by the rain.”

Lin Muxia stared blankly at Lu Xu’s serious explanation and couldn’t help but purse her lips. She glanced at Lu Xu’s slightly wet left shoulder and lowered her head, feeling a bit guilty. After thinking for a moment, the hand that had been pulling his sleeve suddenly hooked around Lu Xu’s arm, and her soft body pressed against him.

“This way... my junior will get less wet, right?” Lin Muxia murmured with her head down. After confirming that raindrops were no longer hitting Lu Xu’s left shoulder, she smiled with satisfaction.
