Chapter 106   - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Zuo Family Army_Your Great Lord Lu

The moment Lu Xiuhe saw Zuo Zhen on the same flight back to Manyang as him, he almost jumped out of his seat.

After their encounter at last night’s gala, Lu Xiuhe had pretty much admitted defeat and run away. Later, Zuo Zhen had sent him a lot of messages, all of which were very short, consisting of just one emoticon or a punctuation mark. Lu Xiuhe didn’t reply to any of them, even though he had held his cell phone and remained awake until three o’clock in the middle of the night. No matter how he tossed and turned, he couldn’t fall asleep, so at last, he grit his teeth and sent a reply: I’m flying back tomorrow morning. If you have anything else to talk about, bro, we’ll chat later.

After sending this, he immediately added: Anything else means matters like borrowing money and such.

Just after he sent that message, he thought he was being pretty stupid. No matter how bad the situation became for Zuo Zhen, he would still be richer than Lu Xiuhe.

After sending the message though, he seemed as if the big stone weighing on his heart had disappeared, and so, while still holding his cellphone, he fell asleep within two minutes.

Upon waking up and finding out that Zuo Zhen hadn’t replied, Lu Xiuhe was quite surprised.

Along with this surprise came a slight feeling of discomfort in his heart.

After all, in his eyes, the message he had sent meant telling Zhou Zen to never contact him again.

After Zuo Zhen sat down in his seat on the plane, Lu Xiuhe took out his cellphone and checked it, all the while swearing in his heart. Sure enough, regarding flights from Jincheng to Manyang, there was only one such flight this morning.

After the plane landed, he hurriedly took his luggage and quickly said goodbye to Yu Yan, and then rushed off the airplane. He moved fast, for he was in a hurry to leave, but also, couldn’t help looking back. He saw Zuo Zhen, who was wearing a mask, a pair of sunglasses, and a hat, fully decked out, walking slowly behind him, with some strands of distinctive pink hair poking out of the hat next to his ears.

It didn’t seem like he was trying to catch up with him.

Lu Xiuhe’s dad had said that he would come to pick him up, but he was still stuck on the road right now, so Lu Xiuhe had no way of leaving the airport for a while. He could only stand at the exit of the airport and wait. Turning around in his spot, he found that Zuo Zhen was also nearby. That person had already put on earphones, and was holding his cell phone and chatting with someone. He didn’t even glance at Lu Xiuhe.

…… It couldn’t be that he had imagined Zou Zhen’s favoritism towards himself? So he actually hadn’t come to Manyang for him?

Zuo Zhen didn’t look up from the beginning to the end, and Lu Xiuhe became more and more convinced that this conjecture made sense. Stars were so busy, and moreover, which one of them would take such pains over an online dating partner?

However, hadn’t that female anchor just said yesterday that the Pz group was very popular? Why wasn’t there even a person here to pick him up?

Although Zuo Zhen had covered himself up tightly, he was very tall and stood out in the crowd, which had attracted many people’s attention. A few girls beside him were already nervously putting their heads together and plotting.

Several times, Lu Xiuhe nearly walked forward to tell Zuo Zhen to go wait in the lobby. However, while he was still hesitating, his dad’s car had already arrived in front of him.

He kept standing still on that spot. Father Lu got out of the car, took his suitcase, and put it in the trunk. All through this, he kept up a stream of talk. “Why are you in a daze? Get in the car quickly, I still have to go and check out some newly arrived equipment. There’s something wrong with two machines, and we’ll have to change the hardware.”

Lu Xiuhe stuffily let out an “oh,” looked away, and sat in the passenger seat.

At the moment the car started, he couldn’t help but look up and steal a glance at Zuo Zhen through the window.

Zuo Zhen had, at some unknown point, already raised up his head. They looked at each other from afar, their gazes meeting through the window and the sunglasses.

Lu Xiuhe’s heart leaped. He quickly looked away and didn’t dare to look back again.

“He Zi, hurry up and login, we’re going to team up and play.”

Lu Xiuhe didn’t even lift up his head, clicking his mouse very loudly as he refused, “You guys play , I’m not playing.”

His three roommates exchanged glances with each other.

“Hey no, what’s the matter with you? You haven’t even been playing LoL these past few days? Have you given up on gaming ?”

Lu Xiuhe said, “I didn’t give up… am just burned out for now. I don’t want to play.”

“Cut it out.” The dorm leader clicked his tongue and said directly, “Did your face-to-face meeting not work out?”

Lu Xiuhe hadn’t hidden the matter about his online dating; the whole dormitory knew about it.

Lu Xiuhe’s hands paused as he replied, “…could count as that .”

“What’s the situation? It couldn’t be that she used a fake photo??”

“What nonsense are you talking about, do you think He Zi is the type of person who cares about appearances?”

“That can’t be certain, you don’t know how far these little girls will go now. Even their figures are bs, can’t even let us live.”

If it was just about a fake photo, that would be fine, Lu Xiuhe thought. He totally didn’t care what Zhenzhen looked like.

“It didn’t work out anyway, let it go,” Lu Xiuhe said. [Your Great Lord Lu: So what if I’m a man? Why can’t a man like Zuo Zhen? Have even fandoms now become sexist too? Also, I looked at your homepage, it’s all just a pile of anti materials. If you run your mouth off, I’m kindly reminding you that if you forward it more than 500 times, you’ll be charged with defamation. It’s going to be New Year’s Eve soon, leave yourself a way out .]

When it came to quarreling, Lu Xiuhe never lost. He sat up in his bed, desperately poking at the screen of his cellphone, and fought with the antis for 300 rounds. After tearing into them for a whole hour, he successfully attracted the attention of Zuo Zhen’s big fans.

Lu Xiuhe failed to manage to react before he was pulled into the Zuo Zhen national fan support group.

[Welcome, welcome!! Introducing everyone, this is Zhenzhen’s male fan, the hero who has torn into X bitch for an hour!]

It took Lu Xiuhe a long time to understand that the X bitch that the other party was referring to was the top commenter on that thread, and was a Zuo Zhen anti who was famous in this fan circle.

[Holy shit, worshipping right now!]

[Is this the fighting power of the legendary male fan?]

[Lulu, how long have you liked Xiao Zhen ?]

It was too late to say that he wasn’t a fan when he was already in their territory.

Lu Xiuhe braced himself and typed—

[Your Great Lord Lu: ….A few months .]

[…… Just a few months?]

[Becoming a die-hard fan just after a few months, this is true love ! Lulu, don’t worry, stanning our Zhenzhen can’t be wrong!]

Lu Xiuhe was just planning to say something, when the big fan spoke first.

[Lulu, since you have entered the pit of Zhenzhen, you are now a member of the Zuo Family Army. You need to change your avatar and Weibo username. I’ll send you the format, and you can go and change it . In the future, if the antis stir up any more trouble, we will inform you in the group.]

Lu Xiuhe’s Weibo was just a wasteland. A few years ago, he would still post some trivial things, but now, he basically didn’t post anything, and it could almost count as being a throwaway account.

So it didn’t matter if he changed his avatar or his username.

Thus, when Zuo Zhen couldn’t fall asleep in the middle of the night and opened Lu Xiuhe’s Weibo, he saw that the other party’s username had abruptly changed—

From “Your Great Lord Lu” to “Zuo Family Army_Your Great Lord Lu”.

Super follower of: Zuo Zhen.

The originally chubby penguin’s head in the display photo had also changed in a flash. Instead, it was now a big-headed, pink-haired chibi character, wearing a red cape on its body that had “Zhen” written on it in big letters.

That night, Lu Xiuhe continued attacking antis even in his dreams.

He had just gotten to the “do you know how hard he works?” part when he heard a harassing telephone ring, which pulled him out of his sleep.

He didn’t even open his eyes as he picked up his cellphone and asked, “…Do you know how hard he works?”

Zuo Zhen: “…”

Zuo Zhen was sitting in a dance studio and sweating profusely right now. He leaned against the floor-length mirror and asked anxiously, “Lu Xiuhe, did you mean to do it?”

Lu Xiuhe was completely muddled and absolutely not clear on what was going on as he said, “What did I mean to do?”

“Did you mean to make sure that I can’t forget about you?” Zuo Zhen’s voice was empty and carried a bit of an echo.

At this, Lu Xiuhe was startled, and then scared awake.

The author has something to say:

The characters are not based on anyone! Not on anyone! Not on anyone! The fan circle was just me making up stuff! Made it up! Made it up!

Juurensha: ….LXH, you know joining the fanclub of your ex-boyfriend isn’t what someone who doesn’t like him at all would do, right? And I’m pretty sure ZZ went to Manyang just for you, even if he didn’t try anything after trying to sit next to you on the plane.
