Logging 10,000 Years into the Future

Chapter 153

Chapter 153

Lu Hai was a little embarrassed, but he still retorted, “Can you blame me? You can only blame the salesperson for being too talkative. Besides, you didn’t want to leave either …”

“I’m too lazy to talk to you. I’m going to cook.” Zheng Yufen rolled up her sleeves and was about to go into the kitchen when Lu Sheng stopped her.

“Mom, we’ll have steak tonight. Just heat it up.” Zheng Yufen looked at the familiar steak box and said in surprise, “Is it a gift from your friend last time?”

“Yes.”

“Nice guy.” Zheng Yufen happily took the steak box into the kitchen to heat it up.

Lu Hai was free. He pulled Lu Sheng over and said excitedly, “Little Sheng, your mom and I saw eight houses today. We think a few of them are okay. So listen to this …”

Lu Sheng nodded. His face showed concentration as he listened to Lu Hai’s spittle flying.

Mom was busy in the kitchen. Sister Lu Qinghe was resting on the sofa and listening to Lu Hai with her eyes open …

Everything at home was fine.

A faint smile appeared on Lu Sheng’s face.

And it would be better in the future.

…

Time flowed like water. A few months passed in the blink of an eye.

At the entrance of Bilan District, Lu Hai, who was wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, was asking a group of people to move the furniture into the truck.

“Be careful, be careful …” Zheng Yufen helped to look after them. Lu Qinghe also carried her things back and forth.

Some neighbours who lived in the same district saw them and gathered around curiously.

“Yufen, you’re moving?”

Zheng Yufen laughed and said, “Yes, the two children are grown up. The house is too small, so we’re moving to a bigger place.”

“Where are you moving to?”

“Washington Manor.”

“Tsk tsk …” The aunties’ expressions changed. “That’s a villa district. Your family bought a villa?!” they exclaimed.

“Sigh, Little Sheng said he wanted to buy it. He paid for it.”

Lu Hai, who was carrying the sofa, happened to pass by and couldn’t help but interrupt.

The aunties were even more shocked.

“Your family’s Little Sheng is really promising. He’s so young, and he bought you a villa!”

“Are you kidding? Old Lu’s son is a martial arts genius who has been on TV. How can he not be promising?”

“You two can live happily for the rest of your lives.”

Zheng Yufen’s face was smiling like a flower. She said modestly, “No, no …”

Suddenly, someone said, “I remember today’s the college entrance examination, right? Where’s your family’s Little Sheng?”

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a voice in their ears.

“Dad, Mom.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, fit, and handsome boy with a well-proportioned body striding toward them. He walked to Lu Hai’s side and easily lifted the sofa that needed two people to carry with one hand.

“Didn’t I say we’ll buy new furniture and so you don’t have to move it around?”

“You child, you should save as much as you can. Won’t you and your sister have to spend money to go to school and practice martial arts in the future? Besides, it’s not troublesome to move …”

Lu Hai pointed around and said, “With the help of my old buddies and your friends from the martial arts club, it won’t take long …”

Lu Hai quickly walked to Lu Sheng’s side and whispered, “Little Sheng, are these young men from the martial arts club your friends? When they heard we were moving, a large group of people came and took the furniture and left. At first, I thought they were robbers …”

Lu Sheng put the sofa in his hand on the moving van and glanced in the direction Lu Hai was pointing.

They were from the Red River Martial Arts Academy.

Lu Sheng nodded and said, “They’re friends. You can order them around.”

“You child, how can you say that …”

Lu Hai said and then hurried to the small store in the neighbourhood. “I’ll buy them some water.”

Lu Sheng ignored him and walked to Zheng Yufen.

“Mom.”

Zheng Yufen reached out and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes. “Why are you back so early? Isn’t today the college entrance examination?”

“It’s a cultural exam. It’s nothing.” Lu Sheng answered casually and then smiled as he greeted the aunties around Zheng Yufen.

The group of neighbours looked at Lu Sheng, who was already starting to look like a young man, and their expressions were both envious and complicated. Everyone in the neighbourhood knew Lu Sheng’s name. Zheng Yufen and her husband were also the object of everyone’s envy.

It hadn’t been long, and the family was about to move out of this old neighbourhood and into a big villa in the suburbs. The son of the old Lu family was still the most promising.

“Little Sheng, don’t you have to bring back the title of the city’s top martial arts student for this year’s college entrance examination?”

“Yes, Little Sheng. If you become the top martial arts student, everyone in the neighbourhood will be proud. From now on, it will be the top martial arts neighbourhood!”

Faced with the teasing of the neighbours, Lu Sheng smiled and didn’t say anything. He left his mother to deal with it alone and walked to the side.

“Brother!” Lu Qinghe’s arms were stuffed full of plush toys that she could not bear to throw away. Only her pale face could be seen as she walked briskly.

“How was the examination, today?”

Lu Sheng said calmly, “It was okay.”

“Mm, mm. You’re so strong in martial arts, your brain is so much smarter than normal people, your IQ is high, you learn everything quickly … Also, your cultural studies results only account for 20% of your total score. You’ll be fine as long as you don’t drag down your martial arts. Tomorrow’s martial arts exam is the key …”

Lu Qinghe waved her little fist at Lu Sheng and said, “Go Brother, I believe you’ll be the city’s Martial Arts Champion!”

“Haha …” Lu Sheng smiled and reached out to rub Lu Qinghe’s head without saying anything.

Then he turned around and walked towards the young men of the academy who were moving the furniture with a huff and puff.

Lu Sheng walked up to them. They immediately put down the furniture in their hands and bowed respectfully to Lu Sheng.

“Young Master Lu.”

The scene was like a mafia group greeting their boss.

“Did Ni Shuang ask you to come?”

Lu Sheng asked calmly.

A strong youth with a crew cut replied, “Master and Senior Sister Ni have told us to inform you that after Young Master Lu and his family move to Washington Manor, you can just call the Academy if you need anything. We’ll be there immediately.”

The attitude of these young martial artists towards Lu Sheng was very respectful, and the way they looked at him was filled with undisguised worship and admiration.

“Master Ni is so considerate. I’ll pay you a visit myself another day.”

Lu Sheng turned and left after saying that.

The youths immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

The pressure of standing in front of Lu Sheng was too great. That invisible aura washed over them like a tidal wave.

It gave them the feeling of facing a fierce tiger. They felt their hair stand on end.

“I wonder how strong this Young Master Lu is now. He was just standing here, and I felt my scalp go numb. My back was covered in goosebumps …”

A youth lifted a piece of furniture from the ground and said with lingering fear.

“Who isn’t …”

Someone continued, “Don’t forget, Young Master Lu could cripple Lin Tieshan with one punch a few months ago. Lin Tieshan is a martial artist close to Level 5 …”
