Liu Chu: “…”
He listened for a long time, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
Liu Chu's face darkened, but he also laughed at the same time: "Who said it was you?!"
Lu Yun sighed: "Don't struggle anymore, you only have me by your side, my appearance, temperament, talents and character..."
Liu Chu: "It's Zhou Lang."
Lu Yun: “…”
Lu Yun's eyebrows were raised slightly, and the girl walking along the embankment from the other side slowed down her pace. The man's eyebrows were charming, and the taste he exuded when he raised his eyebrows was different from other stereotyped men. Lu Yun did not see Luo Lingyu and Zhou Yangling beside Luo Lingyu. He was listening to Liu Chu's self-analysis with great interest.
Liu Chu was stuttering and blushing: "Although he is thin, he is brave and open-minded. I like him very much. The more I see him, the more I love him. I know it's wrong, but I... every time Zhou Lang looks at me and smiles at me, I... but your cousin is good with him!"
His eyes were dim: "He should be like your cousin Luo, right? He, he always takes care of your cousin..."
From the corner of his eye, he saw Luo Lingyu walking slowly, and Zhou Yangling beside her. Lu Yun had a strange look in his eyes. Zhou Yangling, who was playing a man, was still quite weak, with a pale face, as if he was unwell; Luo Lingyu beside Zhou Yangling, however, was wearing fluttering clothes, and walked gracefully. The two women walked slowly, and Lu Yun's eyes were hesitant, and there was also an indescribable look of watching the show - waiting for Liu Chu to continue, so as to expose Zhou Yangling's female body.
Liu Chu was so excited that his face turned red: "Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Lang he..."
A hoarse voice behind him asked with a smile, "What did you say about me, sir?"
Zhou Zibo!
Liu Chu's throat seemed to be strangled, swallowing up all the words. He saw Lu Yun's regretful eyes and secretly hated this good friend for not reminding him and just watching the show. The object of his admiration came over, and Liu Chu's face became even redder. However, His Royal Highness Prince Chen just turned around calmly and looked at Luo Lingyu and Zhou Lang who were walking over. He stopped talking and nodded coldly to the two of them as a greeting.
Luo Lingyu was a little annoyed and said to the two of them, "Brother Xuechen, why doesn't the young master talk to us? Zhou Lang and I were listening to you guys talking just now, why did you stop talking when we got to the young master? Does the young master look down on us?"
Liu Chu smiled helplessly, shook his head, and said simply: "No."
His eyelashes trembled, his eyes dropped, and he was a little evasive. He was in a very confused mood, and he dared not look at Zhou Lang, but he could not help but peek. At a glance, he saw Zhou Lang, whose face was pale and almost haggard, with dark eyes, looking over. Liu Chu panicked, but Zhou Yangling had already smiled: "Yes. I just heard what you said. What did you say about me? Why was I so excited that I stuttered?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Chu's face turned pale.
Liu Chu's body tensed, his face stiff, and the light in his eyes dimmed as he looked at Zhou Yangling - yes, they didn't know. Except for Lu Yun and his mother, even his sister Liu Tang didn't know that he stuttered. They thought he was silent because of habit, but such a defect...
Liu Chu's face was pale, and his hands were clenched into fists. He was not favored by the royal family when he was young, and his mother's birth as the daughter of a criminal made him bullied in the court. His mother could not protect him, and his father did not care about him. When he was young, he had to use tricks and rely on the power of the aristocratic family to protect himself. Because both his parents died when he was young, Lu Sanlang, who had just returned to Jianye, became his best target.
He successfully rescued the drowning Riku Saburo and gained his friendship, and his life in the palace finally improved. However, in order to gain this friendship, he wrote and performed his own play, and due to a high fever, he developed a lifelong regret - stuttering.
Not only does he like a man, he also stutters.
Zhou Zibo...how could he possibly hope for that?
King Chen ignored them with a gloomy look in his eyes, which made Zhou Yangling and Luo Lingyu wonder if they had said something wrong to offend him. Lu Yun glanced at the three of them, avoided the topic, and asked them: "Aren't we having a tea party? Did you see us, so you came over?"
Luo Lingyu: "No, it's just that the sun is a little too strong, Zhou Lang is not feeling well, so I helped him to rest under the shade of the tree over here. How did I know that you were here, Brother Xuechen?"
The sun is too strong?
Lu Sanlang looked up at the gloomy sky. The sky was covered with heavy clouds and gray. Where was the sun? Zhou Yangling's health was too bad... But at the moment when Lu Sanlang was sighing, the Prince Chen Liu, who had just calmed down beside him, suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yangling. Before Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu could react, the beautiful Prince Chen had already stepped forward, supported Zhou Yangling, and condescended to ask: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Yangling was surprised: "..."
She smiled politely and gently: "Just take a break, it's nothing serious..."
Liu Chu would not allow him to be refused: "I'll help you over there."
Luo Lingyu was pushed aside, and Liu Chu insisted on personally helping Zhou Yangling to rest under the shade of a tree. Zhou Yangling thought about it and interpreted Liu Chu's enthusiasm as the young master probably wanting to make friends with poor children. She understood the socializing in the officialdom. Zhou Yangling naturally accepted Liu Chu's help, nodded to Luo Lingyu, and was helped away by Liu Chu.
Luo Lingyu pouted unhappily: His Royal Highness Prince Chen is such an old man, yet he wants to compete with her for Zhou Lang!
But Luo Lingyu changed her mind and became happy again. On one side of the river, trees formed a sea of shadows, and on the other side, trees were lined up in rows. The people in the pavilion on the other side were drinking tea, and a group of young men and women gathered around to watch. They could be seen on this side of the river, but they could not see this side. The men and women did not know that Lu Sanlang was here. If she had not helped Zhou Lang to come over to rest, Luo Lingyu would not have been able to see her brother Xuechen - Lu Sanlang was not easy to see now.
Luo Lingyu turned around and was about to show off her charm to Lu Yun when she saw Lu Yun walking out. He was aloof and didn't even look at her. Luo Lingyu wanted to ask him for money. She had her own calculations in mind: if she asked Lu Yun for money, she might not have to pay him back if she was taken advantage of by this third cousin. If she asked others for money, she would be too embarrassed to speak up and didn't want anyone to know about her embarrassment... In this way, it would be the best choice to trick Lu Yun. Luo Lingyu chased after him and asked with a smile, "Brother Xuechen, I haven't seen you for a long time and you ignored me. You're leaving again just after you got here. Where are you going?"
