A street urchin turned academic genius, starting by saving the blind school beauty.

Chapter 5 Congratulations on becoming a father!

Lu Zhaoye is also a day student, but no one in his family accompanies him to school.

His parents had previously bought him a single-story house of several tens of square meters near the school.

Purely free-range.

However, Lu Zhaoye feels pretty good at the moment, since he is not yet ready to face his parents.

In his previous life, he was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage.

The dean treated him very well and didn't let him starve. Through his own efforts, he successfully entered a junior college.

After graduation, I went to work as a programmer at a company and worked diligently for more than ten years.

I finally turned 38 and outlived my boss, so it was finally my turn to enjoy life. But then I found myself transported to another world.

Since he's already here, he might as well make the best of it. He lived too hurriedly and was too tired in his previous life, so he wants to live a simpler life in this one.

However, the most urgent task is to resolve Xu Ziqing's matter completely.

After arriving home, Lu Zhaoye first took a shower and then took out a pair of Piggy Hero pajamas from the closet in his bedroom and put them on.

He didn't want to wear it in the first place.

But inside the huge cabinet, there were only Piggy Hero and Superman, or tight-fitting clothes and Crocs, it was practically devoid of any human-like candy.

Lu Zhaoye put on his pajamas, lay casually on the sofa, stared at his phone's contact list, and made a call.

"......"

"Hey, who is it! Hey, bang!" A burst of noise came into view.

"Mom, she's pregnant!"

That's right, Lu Zhaoye is asking Lao Deng to give him gold coins.

He's out of money. A decent white cane costs over a thousand yuan, so he definitely needs to ask the steel behemoth for help.

But why is there no movement from the other side?

Lu Zhaoye took the phone away from his ear... and the call was disconnected...

"?"

Lu Zhaoye smiled calmly, shook his right hand, took a deep breath, and dialed again.

"Who is it? I'm busy... Oh no! Fireworks are going off! Which bastard called me?!"

That's what my mother said.

"Mom~ It's me~ Your favorite son..."

"Damn it, there's something dirty here. Fuck the equator has changed."

"Mom, it's me, Lu Zhaoye."

Lu Zhaoye couldn't hold back any longer and shouted something with a dark face.

The woman opposite, Mrs. Lu, gave a faint "Oh."

"Oh, it's my son. What's the matter?"

"Mom, my wife is pregnant, and we need to buy baby formula."

Lu Zhaoye then pretended to be serious and started talking nonsense.

Lu's mother did not react much.

"Oh, then go ahead and buy it. Congratulations on becoming a father!"

"?"

Lu Zhaoye put the phone away to check the contact name; yes, it was his mother.

He frowned slightly, then thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

"I'm lying to your mom, actually I'm dating someone."

This time, the person on the other end couldn't sit still any longer, and the noise from playing mahjong stopped.

"Hey kid, what's going on? What's the girl's name? How old is she? How many people are in her family?"

"Mother Lu's tone was very excited, completely different from her calmness just now."

Lu Zhaoye was amused by this attitude and continued to spout nonsense.

"She is an only child, but she may be a bit old."

"It's okay, anything under three years old is acceptable. 'A daughter three years older is like a gold brick,' as the saying goes."

Lu Zhaoye could picture the woman opposite him with a big, aunt-like smile on her face.

"Mom, it's not three years older, it's a bit more, the same age as you."

"The same age as me? It's good to have a mahjong partner... What! The same age as me?"

A sound of a table being slammed came from across the way, along with the furious roar of my mother.

"Lu Zhaoye, are you out of your mind? You're dating someone decades older than you—are you after her body or her money?!"

Lu Zhaoye responded immediately without hesitation.

"Of course I'm after her money. I'll leave all her assets to me when she dies."

You won't need to sell your catch anymore. Then our whole family will be happy...

"I'm so lucky! I give you two thousand yuan a month for living expenses, which is more than those college students get."

You actually went to see an old woman for money!

"Cut off all ties with me right now, or I'll break your legs!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Zhaoye knew that if he continued teasing her, his mother might really come and kill him.

"Mom, I was just kidding, but I really do need money."

I broke a blind person's cane today, so I have to pay them back.

"..."

There was a brief silence on the other end. Lu Zhaoye, who was leaning over the microphone, could vaguely hear the sound of a cow panting. "Damn, is he going to die of anger?"

"mom......"

"You bastard, you better be telling the truth. If you really are dating an old woman, you're as good as dead."

"How much?"

Lu Zhaoye sprang up from the sofa with a somersault and swung his arm.

"It'll cost one or two thousand, that's quite expensive."

"I'll transfer three thousand to you later, and your Aunt Luo and I will come to see you next Saturday..."

Lu Zhaoye's brain couldn't process the mention of three thousand yuan.

He gave a perfunctory reply, only making out the first part before quickly hanging up.

Once the money arrives, I'll quickly buy a white cane online; the matter of the sect's holy maiden cannot be delayed.

He also needs to change his identity as a blond-haired guy.

Being a gang leader is fun, but a bright and cheerful high school life is definitely more fun.

In novels, it's often said that those who travel through time possess all sorts of supernatural abilities.

Although I haven't discovered it yet, it's impossible that it's not there.

Stop kidding me. You don't think you're the Monkey King just because you have blond hair at the start, do you?

He only discovered his blond hair when he was washing up.

No wonder Xu Ziqing's mother looked at me strangely just now.

No classes tomorrow, Sunday. I'll just change my ways and start anew.

Just as Lu Zhaoye was indulging in his fantasies, the doorbell rang.

"Ding-dong ding-dong~~~"

Lu Zhaoye was stunned for a moment.

It's almost 11 o'clock, why is someone still looking for me? Could it be a ghost?

"Lu Zhaoye, open the door for me! I know you're home!"

A pleasant female voice called out from outside.

Lu Zhaoye's eyes lit up. Oh, it's a female ghost.

He casually picked up the broom from the corner and walked to the peephole of the door.

Outside was a girl wearing pink pajamas.

Her blonde hair, just like his, was casually draped over her shoulders. She had a small nose, soft lips, and her eyes were curved with a natural smile.

However, his face was now contorted with anger.

Lu Zhaoye recalled that this was his childhood sweetheart, who lived right across the street.

He quickly opened the door and said with a smile,

"Haha, what brings you here so late at night?"

Luo Xiao gave it a strange look, then said angrily,

Why didn't you answer my calls?

"Oh? I forgot my phone at school today."

Lu Zhaoye said innocently.

"Oh," Luo Xiao replied with some doubt, then naturally pushed Lu Zhaoye away and went into the house.

"I'm hungry, I want a midnight snack."

"?"

Isn't this just natural?

However, Lu Zhaoye knew that he and this childhood sweetheart had a deep and complicated relationship.

"By the way, could you please stop wearing those Armor Hero pajamas all the time? They're so ugly."

"?"

"Luo Xiao, what nonsense are you talking about? This is the esteemed Piggy Hero, and a limited edition at that!"
