Lu Ziming rolled his eyes when Lu Xia ridiculed him. He turned his gaze towards the driver and said rather impatiently, “Drive.”
The chauffeur looked into the rearview mirror cautiously and asked her as he started the engine. “Miss Lu, should I go to the Education Association or send the Young Master home first?”
Lu Xia looked upset. She lowered her eyes to check her watch for the time. She frowned and said, “Send me to the Education Association first. After that, take him home. I will go home on my own, later.”
“Okay, Miss Lu,” replied the chauffeur.
Lu Xia glanced at Lu Ziming as he sat with his back facing her and kept holding his ear. He rubbed his forehead frustratedly before he turned to look out of the window expressionlessly.
The car pulled up at the Education Association about 20 minutes later. Lu Xia straightened her hair and clothing. She had changed into a presentable ladylike outfit before she left school.
She put on her mask and got out of the car after checking that everything was in order.
The chauffeur saw Lu Xia enter the building and started the engine to return to the Lu residence.
Lu Ziming suddenly raised his head. After not speaking a word during the entire journey, he looked at the chauffeur and said, “Forget it. Find a place to park and wait for her.”
Lu Ziming’s lips twitched and he muttered softly. “I guess it won’t take too long for her to get the notes.”
A look of surprise swept across the chauffeur’s eyes.
These siblings never got along and had just gotten into a fight. Based on Lu Ziming’s temperament, he would never have offered to wait for Lu Xia.
But kids at his age tended to be rebellious and often caused trouble to get attention, so Lu Ziming was probably no different. Although he sounded harsh, maybe he felt bad about picking a fight with Lu Xia.
Soon enough, the chauffeur found an empty slot nearby and parked the car. He contemplated for a second before taking out his phone to send Lu Xia a text message.
Lu Xia came out ten minutes later with a paper bag in her hand.
The chauffeur had been looking at the building all this time and quickly drove over, the moment he spotted her.
Lu Xia placed the bag on the seat after getting in. She removed her mask and looked delighted. It was as though all her previous unhappiness had dissipated completely after her visit to the Education Association.
Lu Ziming glanced at her before his eyes landed on the paper bag. He raised his hand and picked up the bag. He was about to take the notes and books out, but Lu Xia snatched them back.
“Don’t touch my things,” said Lu Xia coldly.
Lu Ziming scoffed coldly. “Sheesh. Who gives a damn about these answers?”
Lu Xia shook her head and looked at her little brother in disappointment. She did not want him to affect her good mood, so she put on her bluetooth earphones without bothering to explain anything to him.

Huo Yao headed to the medicine market after teaching Lu Ziming a lesson.
But it was rather late when she got there. Many shops had already closed for the day. The ones that remained opened did not pay her any attention since she was young and dressed in a school uniform.
Huo Yao did not mind this. After checking out a few stores, she realized they only sold ordinary Chinese medicine. Since they did not carry any rare medicine, they were less likely to have what she wanted.
Huo Yao walked out of yet another store with a slight look of disappointment.
