“Lu Yu, it seems that Yang Miss has taken a liking to you,”
Lu Yu, who had just descended from the rooftop, heard Huang Rong's teasing voice beside him.
“No way? So sudden?”
Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise.
“Why not? You’re so handsome, and just now you showed off your amazing skills in the nick of time, saving the day. It’s normal for Yang Hui Lan to be smitten.
Didn’t you see? Her gaze on you just now wasn’t innocent at all.”
Huang Rong laughed.
“Even if that’s the case, why are you so happy?”
Lu Yu asked, perplexed.
“Because it proves my good taste. It would be strange if the person I like didn't have other people liking them, wouldn't it?”
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment.
Was that a confession?
Huang Rong seemed to realize that her words had been a little ambiguous and immediately blushed.
But she quickly regained her composure, looked straight into Lu Yu's eyes, and said, “Yes! What I mean is, I like you too. So, how about it? Do you want to belong to this miss?”
Seeing Huang Rong's fake fierce look, Lu Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
Huang Rong was just like that; once she liked someone, she wouldn’t hide it, but would take the initiative.
“What are the benefits of belonging to you?”
Lu Yu teased.
“There are many benefits. You'll find out once you agree to it.”
“Oh, that sounds exciting.”
“So you agree then?”
Huang Rong blinked her expectant big eyes, looking at Lu Yu.
“Of course. Actually, if you had waited two more days, it would have been me confessing to you.”
Lu Yu laughed.
Facing the quirky Huang Rong, few people could remain unmoved. He was no exception.
The past half month of spending time together had stirred ripples in his heart.
The little flirtation between them was the innocent feeling of a young boy and girl.
Lu Yu knew Huang Rong's feelings, and had never spoken up, hoping to spend more time together, and let things take their course.
Neither of us needed to say it, but we both knew each other's feelings.
Confessing was just the final step.
“Ah, really? But I don't want to wait even one day!”
Huang Rong was both surprised and delighted, and a little regretful.
“Silly girl.”
Lu Yu laughed and stroked Huang Rong's small head.
“I'm not silly! My father said I'm as smart as my mother!”
Huang Rong enjoyed Lu Yu's touch, but still subconsciously retorted.
Silly?
That word would never be associated with Huang Rong in her lifetime.
Lu Yu smiled and didn’t refute.
“Oh my…”
Xing Bu Tou, with a body full of injuries, walked into the Tong Fu Inn.
“Xing Bu Tou, what happened? Someone dared to attack a constable? Is there still justice in broad daylight?”
Lu Xiu Cai, who was reading a book at the counter, was stunned and immediately went forward to ask.
Everyone in the inn had gone to watch the competition for the bride, but he was not interested, so he stayed at the inn to look after the shop and read.
“This… Who says it’s not?”
Xing Bu Tou was also a person who valued face. Seeing that Lu Xiu Cai was unaware, he took advantage of the situation.
At this time, Lu Yu and Huang Rong had also come down. Seeing this, they laughed and said, “Xiu Cai, get a bottle of liniment. I'll help Xing Bu Tou apply the medicine.”
“Okay.”
Lu Xiu Cai didn’t suspect anything and went to get the liniment.
Xing Bu Tou quickly said, “Little Lu, thanks for earlier. If it wasn’t for you, my arm would have been ruined. That woman was really ruthless.”
“Xing Bu Tou, don’t be so polite. It was just a small favor. You’ve helped me a lot before.”
Lu Yu laughed.
Xing Bu Tou was a good constable, although he had a few quirks.
The security in Qixia Town was so good, thanks to him.
As they were talking, Bai Zhan Tang, Li Da Zui, and Tong Xiang Yu also came back.
“Little Lu! That move of yours was so cool!”
Bai Zhan Tang exclaimed as soon as he entered.
“Right, if it wasn’t for you, Old Xing would have been in big trouble.”
Tong Xiang Yu echoed.
They had all seen how dangerous the situation had been.
“If I had martial arts skills like Little Lu’s, I would have been the winner of today’s competition for the bride. Sigh…”
Li Da Zui was both envious and regretful.
As everyone talked, Xing Bu Tou felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he had lost face in front of everyone. It was not something to brag about.
Just then, Lu Xiu Cai brought the liniment, and Lu Yu began to treat Xing Bu Tou’s wound.
“Hui Lan, you’re back.”
Li Da Zui saw Yang Hui Lan returning and immediately went up to greet her.
But Yang Hui Lan didn't even bother with Li Da Zui. Instead, she went to Lu Yu's side, with a smiling face, and said, “Sir, I would like to spar with you. Would you be willing?”
Hearing this, everyone's expression immediately turned strange.
They weren't fools; Yang Hui Lan's action was clearly a sign of her liking for Lu Yu.
“It’s common practice in the martial arts world to spar. Of course, there’s nothing inconvenient about it. It’s just that you are currently in the middle of your competition for a husband. It would be inappropriate to spar now.
Wait until you’ve found your ideal match before we spar again.”
Lu Yu said in a low voice, a subtle refusal.
But Yang Hui Lan didn't give up. She said directly, "I’ve been competing for a husband for half a year, but haven't found anyone satisfactory. Today I saw your amazing skills and my heart was stirred. I think you are the ideal match for me. If you don't mind, please accept me."
“Little Lu! She’s taken a liking to you. You boy, you’re lucky.”
Bai Zhan Tang laughed.
Li Da Zui was anxious. He immediately said, “Hui Lan, are you being too hasty? There are still many good men out there.”
Before Lu Yu could answer, Huang Rong had already put her arms around his, and said, “Miss Yang, you can’t.
Yu Ge Ge already has someone.”
Seeing the close interaction of the two, Yang Hui Lan was taken aback.
Looking at Huang Rong, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of inferiority.
When she had first met Huang Rong yesterday, she had been amazed by her beauty.
She had never thought that there could be such a beauty in the world.
Compared to other women, she had some confidence, but compared to Huang Rong, she felt inferior.
Hearing this, the others also wore a look of astonishment.
Wow, the relationship between Lu Yu and Huang Rong had already progressed to this stage?
When did it happen?
Although everyone could see that there was a strong mutual affection between the two young people, they didn’t expect their relationship to be confirmed so quickly.
“Sir, is this true?”
Yang Hui Lan was not willing to give up. She immediately confirmed it with Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was a little embarrassed under the scrutiny of everyone’s gossipy eyes, but still laughed and said, “Yes. Rong Er and I are in love, so I can’t accept your feelings. Please forgive me.”
Li Da Zui was relieved to hear this.
Thank goodness.
“Well done, Little Lu! You’ve so quickly captured the heart of our beautiful chef.”
Bai Zhan Tang laughed.
Yang Hui Lan’s eyes dimmed, then she said, “It’s fine, I’m willing to be a side mistress.”
