Chapter 343: Only the Male Peacock is Beautiful (V)
"My name is Yu Huo."
Yu Huo fixed his gaze on the peacock chick that kept peeking at him from among the flowers, and gave a gentle reminder.
Jiang Yan paused: "Yu... Fire."
"Yes, no need to call me Young Master."
Jiang Yan smiled, her smile as gentle as ever, yet with a hint of playfulness that could not be ignored: "Then don't call me Miss Jiang anymore."
Yu Huo raised his eyebrows and met the girl's gaze. Seeing that the other person seemed to be very satisfied with him, he couldn't help but feel alarmed.
He is not a person who likes to cause trouble for himself, especially in terms of relationships.
He immediately changed the subject and asked softly, "Jiang Yan, what do you think of the marriage between the Peacock Clan and our Yu Family?"
Jiang Yan blinked in confusion: "Isn't this something agreed upon between our parents?"
Yu Huo pursed his lips and said, "The clan leader seems to be intending to place this marriage on you. Actually, what I want to ask is what do you think of the marriage with me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but tighten her cuffs, with a look of uneasiness in her eyes.
"I think... you're great."
Yu Huo narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you think I'm good?"
"I guess so." After a series of questioning, Jiang Yan seemed to have broken free from that unfounded charming atmosphere and her mind calmed down.
She turned her eyes away from Yu Huo's handsome and elegant face, as if she was thinking seriously.
Yu Huo didn't say anything to interrupt. After a long while, Jiang Yan finally spoke: "If it weren't for you, it would have been someone else. I'm the daughter of the clan leader, and marriage is not something I can decide. But seeing you today, I have to admit that I'm lucky..."
This answer is sincere, but it also means trouble for Fire.
In fact, if he wanted the girl in front of him to lose her favor, he could just say a few sarcastic words to her, but when he thought of the sharp contrast between male and female peacocks, Yu Huo couldn't open his mouth.
The Peacock Clan is a unique species among the Orcs. They have received a great deal of attention and countless rumors. The females are often outshined and look down upon. It seems they are also sensitive and fragile...
During this period of silence, Jiang Yan seemed to notice his hesitation and twitching, and couldn't help but ask cautiously: "What do you think?"
Yu Huo's thoughts were interrupted, and he subconsciously asked, "What do you think?"
Jiang Yan took a deep breath: "What do you think of this marriage?"
Yu Huo lowered his eyelids and answered honestly, "Life's important events shouldn't be left to others to decide."
Jiang Yan was stunned, and her mood was inexplicably sour, of course, only a little bit.
To a greater extent, this mood seems to be affected by the weather.
At this time, the clouds above seemed to be piled up together, dark and heavy, making the air so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.
In the attic above the flower garden, a pair of eyes were quietly watching the man and woman in front of the flower garden.
As the protagonists being spied on, Yu Huo and Jiang Yan knew nothing about it.
Faced with such an implicit rejection, Jiang Yan seemed to have expected it.
After all, the young man in front of him was too outstanding. He had an excellent family background, strong personal strength, and even his appearance could rival that of the males in the tribe.
How could such a person be interested in such an insignificant girl...
Jiang Yan's eyes dimmed a little, and she said softly, "Then what are you going to do? I can cooperate with you."
Yu Huo raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Aren't you angry at all?"
"There's no point in getting angry." Jiang Yan shrugged, her gaze passing over the young man's cunning eyes, and she said softly, "It's just a little regretful, and I know my own limitations."
Hearing this answer, Yu Huo felt relieved, a smile appeared on his brows, revealing his ease.
"That's not self-knowledge, that's self-deprecation."
Jiang Yan didn't understand and blinked in confusion: "What?"
Yu Huo chuckled: "Jiang Yan, you are very good..."
Knowing that the person in front of you doesn’t like you is not entirely a bad thing. At least Jiang Yan feels that she is not as nervous as before.
Instead, he nodded seriously and replied playfully, "Yes, yes, you're a good person, but I just don't like you, right? That's how it's played out in TV dramas."
Unexpectedly, the young man shook his head and threw down a thunderbolt.
"No, you're nice, but unfortunately I'm gay."
"..." Jiang Yan was stunned. After several seconds, she replied dryly, "Thank you. I feel much better now."
Jiang Yan seemed to be more at ease at this moment. She looked up at the thick dark clouds and suggested again: "Shall we go back?"
Yu Huo nodded gently: "Okay."
At this moment, the chirping sounds in the flower garden made the two of them stop. Jiang Yan then remembered that her younger brother was still playing in the flower garden.
She looked down at Jiang Yuan, whose little paws were entangled in the weeds, and bent down to rescue him.
Before I could reach out to grab it, the peacock chick jumped away nimbly and ran towards the depths of the flower bed.
"Xiao Yuan, it's going to rain, come back with me quickly."
The peacock chicks hid themselves, unmoved.
Jiang Yan was so angry that she growled at it.
"You little bastard, get out here right now, or I'll get someone to arrest you! It's going to rain soon, do you want to catch a cold?"
The peacock cub's refusal to cooperate put Jiang Yan in a dilemma. She didn't bring her cell phone and was afraid that the cub would run away to other places while she was going to call for help.
The key point is that it is about to rain, and she can't wait here with the little guy.
Yu Huo saw Jiang Yan's embarrassment and said considerately, "Go call someone. I'll help you keep an eye on it and prevent it from running away."
There seems to be no other way except this.
Jiang Yan pursed her lips sheepishly and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."
The footsteps gradually faded away, and the gentlemanly aura that Yu Huo had just created collapsed in an instant.
He bent down, reached out to pull apart the stems of the flowers, and looked at the furry little peacock with a smile.
The peacock chick seemed frightened and shrank back repeatedly.
As they were chasing each other, a drizzle began to fall at an inopportune time.
The peacock chick had sparse down and was soaked by the rain in just a few breaths.
Yu Huo didn't tease it this time. He pulled the peacock chick out of the flower bed, placed it on the open ground, took off his coat and held it over its head.
The young peacock noticed all this and couldn't help chirping at the young man in front of him who was holding up the sky for him, as if he was very surprised.
Yu Huo was infected, and his handsome face became unusually gentle at this moment.
The picture was a little distorted by the thin rain and fog, but the young man's profile after being drenched by the cold rain was as white as ice and his eyes were as clear as autumn water, which made people stop and admire him.
The man in the attic was no exception. He looked down at the young man's jet-black hair and slender white neck from above. He took the umbrella hanging from the hook as if possessed by a ghost, pushed the door open, and walked down into the quiet attic...
