Chapter 37
I like anyone who is good to me!
Chapter 37 I like anyone who is good to me!
They all wanted to throw the cake in Xie Yue's face.
Upon seeing this, Xie Yue's lips twitched slightly, but he still accepted Hu Liena's kindness.
Seeing the actions of the two siblings, Yan knew he had been excluded. In order to join the "war," he couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Shu, what do you think of Brother Xie Yue?"
"Cough cough cough—"
As expected, Xie Yue spoke first before Ning Shu. He had just taken a sip of water when Yan suddenly asked such a direct question, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't understand what he meant!
Xie Yue looked at Yan with a resentful expression.
Is this to expose his true intentions to the world?
Ning Shu was dragged into the "war," but she didn't seem to care. She simply nodded without even looking up, "He's great. He's handsome and has gentlemanly manners. He's much better than the one people liked before."
What I used to like?!
Hu Liena and Yan ignored the middle words and only listened to these few words.
The two of them transformed into market vendors, asking questions one after another—
"Who did you like in the past? Who did you like in the past?"
"Your ex-boyfriend? What's his name? How old is he? Who's stronger, him or Xie Yue?"
"It's not someone from your so-and-so academy, is it? What does he look like? Do you like him a lot? Oh no, do you still like him now?"
"."
The questions came flooding in, and Ning Shu paused, slowly raising her head.
She stared blankly at Hu Liena and Yan, still trying to figure out how to answer them. Just then, Xie Yue, who was beside her, spoke up to defuse the situation, "So much food can't shut you two up? What, you don't want to eat anymore?"
After saying that, he quietly handed the cake that Hu Liena had asked him to fawn over to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu glanced at him and suddenly realized that this person was actually quite nice.
"No, I'm just curious. Brother Xieyue, to be honest, you're actually curious too, but you're too embarrassed to say it, right?" Yan laughed it off, looking incredibly cheeky.
"."
Xie Yue really wanted to go up and beat him up, but since they were outside, he had to be mindful of the consequences. After all, Soul Masters shouldn't fight in public; they should go to the Soul Arena to settle their differences.
However, what Yan said actually revealed his true feelings, otherwise he wouldn't have been so eager to cover it up. Xie Yue subconsciously glanced at Ning Shu, wanting to see what Ning Shu's expression was now.
Ning Shu had absolutely no affection for Dai Mubai, so when the topic came up, she showed no emotion, simply replying, "He's definitely not as good-looking as Brother Xie Yue, nor as capable, and he's a womanizer who frequents brothels every day!"
"Brothel!" Yan exclaimed, "Scoundrel men!"
Unlike him, who only likes Hu Liena and will never settle for anyone else!
Bad man?
"puff!"
Ning Shu gave Yan a thumbs up. "You're right! He's a jerk! That's why I don't like him anymore!"
"Haha! You still prefer our Xie Yue, right? At least our Xie Yue is handsome and rich." Yan looked at Ning Shu with a grin, recommending Xie Yue non-stop, not even bothering to hide him anymore.
Xie Yue felt helpless, but also secretly pleased. He liked Ning Shu because she was beautiful, but now he found that Ning Shu had a relatively good personality. At least she wouldn't throw a tantrum for no reason. Even when Yan joked with her, she still laughed and accepted the joke. She seemed to be a cheerful girl.
Xie Yue smiled but didn't say anything.
Ning Shu wasn't stupid; Yan's intentions were obvious to her, but she had to pretend not to.
After all, she couldn't bring herself to give up an entire forest for a single tree; she preferred to own the whole forest!
"Yes, Brother Xieyue is a very nice person, of course I like him. I like anyone who is good to me!"
This answer was like igniting a flame only to pour cold water on it; Yan and Hu Liena were happy for nothing.
Yan couldn't help but complain, "You're so greedy!"
"Hehe, I'm very greedy!" Ning Shu smiled, took a bite of her fork, and continued eating her cake.
Xie Yue didn't say anything. He chuckled softly, knowing in his heart that Ning Shu was just pretending to be stupid. He didn't care. He knew very well that Ning Shu liked him, from the first time they met.
Seeing that their attempts to reconcile them were failing, Yan and Hu Liena decided to shut up and eat their cake.
The four of them chatted casually about this and that. Ning Shu smiled broadly, radiating sunshine, a completely different person from when she lived at Shrek Academy.
Time passed by, and soon it was three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun in the sky began to be slowly covered by the clouds, and the sunlight quietly dissipated. The streets were still bustling with people, and there were even more pedestrians than at noon.
In the crowd, a middle-aged woman dressed in a gorgeous blue outfit was frowning and looking around. Behind her were several attendants dressed in cream-colored robes with the symbol of the Glass Pagoda on their chests. They were also looking around the street, seemingly searching for someone.
A short while later, the group of them walked across the street from the dessert shop. One of the servants saw Ning Shu, who was beaming with joy, and quickly pointed, "Madam, she's over there!"
The middle-aged woman looked over and saw Ning Shu's smile, which she found particularly irritating.
Her brow furrowed, and she coldly ordered, "Go, take her back."
"Yes, Madam!"
Upon receiving the order, the servants all went to Ning Shu.
Xie Yue noticed some malicious glances directed at him, and he instinctively turned his head to look at the group of people walking towards him.
Xie Yue frowned and patted Ning Shu's arm, "A-Shu."
His gaze fell on the glazed pagoda emblem of the white-robed figure. He wasn't stupid; of course he knew it was the symbol of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Considering that Ning Shu also shared the surname Ning, he couldn't help but suspect that these people were after Ning Shu.
Xie Yue's actions also caught the attention of Hu Liena and Yan. They looked in the direction he was looking and couldn't help but tighten their eyes.
People from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
Both eyes fell on Ning Shu. When Ning Shu saw the middle-aged woman, a sharp pain flashed through her mind. Memories of that middle-aged woman came flooding back like a tidal wave. She subconsciously raised her hand to her temple, frowned, and a feeling of resentment and grievance suddenly welled up in her heart.
This emotion did not originate from her, but from her body.
"Ah Shu, I've been looking for you for over a year, and you still haven't let go of that matter? It was just a small thing, is it really worth holding a grudge for so long?"
—A side note—
I've commissioned another article; I absolutely adore my daughter!
Just a quick note: if you don't see this, it means the application hasn't been approved yet.
