Lu Xuan was unaware of the Luo family’s decision, as, at this moment, he was on the phone.
“Hey, Xuan, are you back in Xia City?” An excited voice came from the phone.
“Mm!” Lu Xuan nodded. He searched his memory and quickly realized who he was speaking to on the phone.
It was his close buddy from high school who had sat close to him in class—Li Guanghui.
Though, ever since Lu Xuan had returned to Fu City for school, the two of them had not met up.
To Li Guanghui, Lu Xuan was a friend he had not seen for many years, but to Lu Xuan, he had spent an entire lifetime without ever meeting this friend again.
He vaguely recalled that in his past life, Li Guanghui died on the first day that the world changed. It had been in a violent attack from a mutated beast. So when Lu Xuan heard Li Guanghui’s voice, he felt especially emotional.
“You’re really back! That’s great!” Li Guanghui said excitedly from the other end of the call. “As they say, it’s better to be right on time than to be early. Last time, whenever our classmates looked for you, you were busy with your studies. You won’t say you’re busy now, will you?!”
“Of course! I’m free!” Lu Xuan nodded his head. He had not seen this group of friends in a long time.
Previously, his classmates did invite him to meet up, but because he was busy with school, he pushed them away. Gradually, as this went on, people stopped trying to ask him to go with them.
“Then come out and meet us, it’s perfect!” Li Guanghui said hurriedly from the phone. “I’ll share the address with you!”
Lu Xuan saw that the sky was already dark outside, and night had fallen yet again.
He left a note for his parents and made sure Zhang Hongyang was attentively protecting them before he left the house.
Based on the address that Li Guanghui shared with him, Lu Xuan took a taxi to a luxurious restaurant. Asking for the private room they booked, Lu Xuan hurriedly made his way there.
There were around thirty people in the private room, and the conversations were already in full swing.
As the newcomer pushed open the door and came in, they were all momentarily stunned and could not react, trying to figure out who he was.
“Xuan!”
It was a young man with a face full of pimples who looked to be in his twenties that reacted first. With an expression of pleasant surprise, he waved at Lu Xuan, beckoning him to sit beside him.
The rest of the crowd then seemed to remember who Lu Xuan was.
“Oh he’s Lu Xuan, I almost didn’t recognize him!”
“Oh my god, as I recall, he used to look very average, and only his eyes were more attractive than normal. We haven’t seen him in these few years, and he’s actually gotten so handsome!”
“Disposition. It’s mainly his disposition, which is so much different from how it used to be!”
A commotion broke out in the group, as they had a heated discussion. It was no wonder that they could not guess his identity because Lu Xuan was simply too plain in the past. His grades were middle-of-the-road, his looks were average, and he had nothing impressive about him to speak of.
He was basically an extra that was completely average in appearance and in quality.
Aside from his close buddy Li Guanghui, the others’ impression of him was beginning to get hazy.
People like him were extremely common in each and every class.
This was also the main reason that the Luo family’s investigation of him only turned up someone who was the pinnacle of mediocrity.
It was not because they were not looking hard enough, but just that back then, Lu Xuan was indeed an extremely mediocre person.

Compared to how he was now to back then, Lu Xuan seemed to have transformed into a whole new person. Even if he was not putting it on display, the disposition he possessed was clearly different from other people’s.
“Goodness, this change; it’s as if he went to Korea!”
“If going to Korea can have such a good effect, I’ll immediately sell all I have to go to Korea and get something done as well!”
“He’s really so good looking that even my maiden heart is a little moved. Why couldn’t I tell back in school? If I had caught hold of him back then, that would have been great!”
“But didn’t he have a partner back in those days at school?” someone said, seeming to have recalled something.
In the group of girls, a girl with delicate features who would be widely regarded as a beauty looked a little embarrassed.
She looked at Lu Xuan, who sat a small distance away, and her gaze was one of disbelief. She would have never imagined that Lu Xuan would actually turn out like this.
At this time, Lu Xuan had just taken a seat, and next to him, Li Guanghui could not help but remark at his incredible change.
“I never would have thought that you could actually get so handsome! Spill the beans now, did you go to Korea these past few years?” Li Guanghui hammered a fist into Lu Xuan’s chest, but before he could finish speaking, he had quickly recoiled in pain.
“What’s with your iron body!” Li Guanghui grumbled dejectedly. “I thought we’d agreed that we’d stay home and grow fat together, but you’ve sneakily gone to the gym, you traitor!”
Lu Xuan gave Li Guanghui a sidelong look, saying, “In the few years I haven’t seen you, your hairline is struggling to stay in place. Boys need to secure their hairline to secure their life, you know!”
“Aaah!”
When Lu Xuan said that, Li Guanghui could not help but hang his head sadly.
“I still don’t want to go bald. I still haven’t found myself a girlfriend. How come nobody likes coders like me? If I knew this would happen, I should have listened to you and taken the exam to be a teacher. What good is writing code, I’m going to turn into code soon!”
Lu Xuan was amused by this, and replied, “Don’t go blaming everything on your coding job. Ironman wrote code too. The problem is clearly your own. Let me ask you a question. If you were walking with a lady on a wintry day, and she told you the weather was cold, how would you respond?!”
“That must mean she’s concerned about me, and I have to put on more clothes before I go out!” Li Guanghui responded at once.
Patting Li Guanghui’s shoulder, Lu Xuan sighed. “If you’re going bald, let it happen. You’re not going to get a girlfriend anyway, so what difference does it make whether you’re bald.”
Li Guanghui frustratedly slapped away Lu Xuan’s hand, saying in reply, “Don’t keep taking shots at me. What makes you think I can’t find a girlfriend?!”
Then, pointing at the girl in the group, Li Guanghui said, “Still, she’s here today, you know?”
“Who’s she?” Lu Xuan didn’t react.
Li Guanghui studied Lu Xuan seriously, then said, “Stop pretending, brother. I know what you’re like. You’re just not going to admit your loss here, are you!”
Lu Xuan did not know whether to laugh or to cry at this. He had a flash of inspiration, and he found the answer he sought in the dusty recesses of his memory.
He seemed to recall being with a girl for a period of time during high school before they later separated.
However, to Lu Xuan, that was something that happened ages ago. It was an adolescent love in his youth, and there was no way he could remember the details.
“That’s so long in the past. It’s already been four years. You think I haven’t let it go?” Lu Xuan looked at Li Guanghui, amused. “If I’m looking for a lady, I could get any lady I want!”
With his status in his past life, there had been no woman in the universe he could not get. Even with his current status in this life, there were still women who would offer themselves up to him.
“Xuan, I’ve noticed that you haven’t improved much over the years, but your ability to bullsh*t has gotten more and more refreshing and refined!”
Li Guanghui looked at Lu Xuan’s earnest expression, and at that time, he thought that Lu Xuan meant he could rely on his looks. Feeling depressed again, he lamented, “Is it so great to be good looking?
“Fine, being good looking is a great thing, after all!”
Li Guanghui immediately followed up his question with his own answer.
