Lu Yi sighed, then held her hand tightly. "It's nothing, I just feel like it's been a long time since I've really looked at you like this..."
"Good, now that this matter is settled, we can finally relax and enjoy our good life."
Ye Ran relaxed, "Yes..."
Lu Yi suddenly turned to look at her, "Ranran, how's the house project coming along?"
Ye Ran got excited when she talked about the house. "It's almost done. The house was already pretty good. We just need to do some minor repairs."
You have no idea how motivated my parents are. They've been eating and sleeping there for the past few days, saying they want to get everything done quickly so they can move in.
Hearing this, Lu Yi perked up, "So fast? That's great! I wonder if we can finish today? Let's go check!"
"OK!"
The house wasn't far from the Lu family's residence. They strolled leisurely along the road, enjoying the scenery.
The two were chatting happily when suddenly a woman lunged at Lu Yi, trying to bump into him. Lu Yi frowned and immediately dodged.
The woman didn't expect Lu Yi to dodge, and before she could stop, she crashed hard to the ground with a loud thud, making Ye Ran grit her teeth involuntarily.
The woman cried out in pain as she fell, "You! Why didn't you help me up?"
Lu Yi spread his hands innocently, "Why would I pull you? Do I even know you?"
The woman looked at him in disbelief, "I'm a woman, and you're a man!"
If a woman is about to fall in front of you, shouldn't you help her up?
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Are you being sexist? Don't you know how heavy you are? If a frail man like me helps you up, what if I fall down too?"
The woman stared incredulously at Lu Yi, who was as tall as a tree, and exclaimed, "You!"
Ye Ran suppressed a laugh. In some ways, Lu Yi was really infuriating. Just now, the girl clearly wanted to throw herself into his arms, but he dodged her.
Just as Ye Ran was suppressing a laugh, a man next to her accidentally bumped into her. "Sorry!"
Ye Ran was stunned by the impact and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Seeing this, Lu Yi stopped smiling, his face darkening as he walked over and shielded Ye Ran behind him. "What are you doing?"
The man opposite her had a gentle expression. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to."
"How about... I treat you to a meal to apologize?"
Lu Yi refused outright, "No need! You should wear your glasses next time you walk! Otherwise, you might bump into something one day."
Lu Yi pulled Ye Ran away.
Behind them, the man smiled slightly and walked to the other side...
A moment later, the woman from before also walked in that direction. Seeing the man waiting ahead, she unceremoniously held out her hand, "You have to pay more! I just fell pretty hard!"
The man smiled slightly. "Are you sure?"
The woman raised her chin. "Of course!"
The man chuckled, then pulled out his wallet. "Alright... but let me warn you, my money isn't so easy to take..."
The woman rolled her eyes and snatched the money from his hand. "Why do I keep running into such weird men today?"
The man wasn't angry; he watched her leave.
After a long while, a hint of fervor slowly crept into the man's gentle eyes...
"Found it..."
