The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Return to the Rich Family (Translated)

Chapter 34

Chapter 34

A few days later, Lu Yao's cold had finally recovered.

In the classroom, the teacher at the podium was writing on the blackboard with chalk.

Lu Yao, sitting by the window, had his eyes downcast, his long lashes casting shadows, while he casually flipped through a detective novel on his desk.

Thinking about what he had heard earlier that morning, Lu Yao furrowed his brow in frustration. What could he possibly give Lu Qi as a birthday present? Lu Qi has everything.

This Saturday is Lu Qi's birthday. He didn't plan to hold a birthday party, just a simple family dinner.

As Lu Yao turned a page and saw a scene related to pottery, a sudden idea popped into his mind.

Since Jiang Bai was likely knowledgeable about pottery, Lu Yao decided to ask him for some advice.

After class.

To avoid Lu Qi, who sat behind him, overhearing their conversation, Lu Yao nudged Jiang Bai's elbow and leaned closer to his ear, speaking in a low voice.

Jiang Bai was momentarily taken aback, feeling Lu Yao's breath on his ear and catching a whiff of the cool, subtle mint fragrance he carried. His face flushed instantly.

This was the closest he and Lu Yao had ever been.

Realizing this, Jiang Bai's breathing became irregular for a moment. When he finally steadied himself to listen, Lu Yao had already finished speaking.

Jiang Bai pressed his lips together, clenched his fists, and, trying to stay calm but unable to look directly at Lu Yao, whispered, "Lu Yao, could you repeat that? I...I didn't catch what you said."

Hmm? Did he speak too softly?

Lu Yao blinked in confusion but didn't think much of it. He leaned in again to Jiang Bai's ear and repeated what he had just said.

This time, Jiang Bai managed to calm himself and heard Lu Yao's words clearly.

His ears were still red as he tried to sound composed and said, "I know a suitable place. Let's go there together after school."

After school.

Looking at the building in front of him, which had a distinctly Eastern Zen-style appearance, Lu Yao turned to Jiang Bai and said with surprise, "This is the pottery studio you mentioned?"

He actually just wanted to make a simple pottery sculpture for Lu Qi himself.

He originally thought the place Jiang Bai mentioned would be an ordinary pottery studio, but the building in front of him seemed too grand, almost like a high-end exhibition hall.

Lu Yao thought about this and commented, "It looks a bit like an art gallery."

"You're not wrong," came a female voice in response.

Turning around, Lu Yao saw a woman, probably around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with elegant long hair and wearing a simple, elegant dress.

She smiled and extended her hand towards Lu Yao, saying, "Hello, you must be Lu Yao, Jiang Bai's friend. I'm He Su, Jiang Bai's cousin. You can just call me Sister He."

Lu Yao shook her hand and replied, "Hello. Thank you for helping us today."

He Su waved her hand casually, saying, "It's a small thing. I'm just lending you the space. It's nothing worth mentioning. Let's go; I'll show you inside."
