Chapter 80 No, are we just going to let them go eat like this?
"...It's you."
Li Xiao looked at the girl who was holding the kitten and smiling slightly. The surprise on his face vanished in an instant, and the corners of his mouth drooped down.
What the heck...
He thought it was Yu Qingzhou who had come looking for him.
"Huh, Senior Brother Li seems quite disappointed. Was he waiting for someone else just now?" Zhu Zhu looked at the boy in front of her with curiosity.
Li Xiao ignored her.
"This is none of your business," Li Xiao said coldly, arms crossed.
Completely unaware that their statement seemed to overlap with someone else's.
Zhu Zhu burst out laughing.
Even the kitten I was holding was jostled around, its head bobbing.
"What are you laughing at?" Boss Li Xiao glared at the other person unhappily.
"Um, no, nothing. It's just that I think you, Senior Brother Li..." Zhuzhu hesitated for a moment, then uttered an unexpected sentence, "You're quite cute."
"Huh?" Li Xiao frowned, staring at the girl with an expression that looked at Shenjin with disbelief. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Zhu Zhu calmly replied, "It's very similar~ Your tone just now was exactly the same as Senior Brother Yu's."
"No, no such thing exists."
Hearing the girl's words, Li Xiao finally understood, but he still stubbornly denied it: "What do you mean? Are you saying that I was deliberately imitating that guy? Humph, why would I do such a thing..."
Zhuzhu tilted her head and smiled brightly: "Well, I don't know either."
Li Xiao inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief; he should have known long ago what a little girl could say.
Unexpectedly, the other person continued unhurriedly: "However, I've heard that people subconsciously imitate the words and actions of those they like. I wonder if that's true?"
"..."
Seeing that Li Xiao hadn't spoken for a long time, his fair face turned red, like a volcano on the verge of collapse.
Zhuzhu looked around, as if she had just noticed something, and muttered, "So, where is Senior Brother Yu? So, you were waiting for Senior Brother Yu? No wonder..."
"Who said I was waiting for that guy?!"
Li Xiao finally managed to utter a complete sentence.
Upon hearing this, Zhuzhu blinked, seemingly still somewhat incredulous.
Li Xiao immediately crossed his arms and glanced away with a disdainful look.
"Tch, I just got lost. We weren't even on the same wavelength to begin with, why would I bother waiting for him?"
The boy became more and more righteous and indignant as he spoke.
His words were less of an explanation to the other party and more of a way of convincing himself.
yes……
He, Yu Qingzhou, was such a busy man, the senior brother whom everyone liked and praised. He always had a nice face to everyone, and even that enchanting woman who appeared out of nowhere could touch him. So why did he put on that superior face to him?
Li Xiao was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't realize he himself, who was calling others demons in his heart, was a half-demon. Moreover, not long ago, he had done something to Yu Qingzhou that was a hundred times worse than touching her hand.
As if echoing Li Xiao's excited mood, his stomach rumbled again.
This time, even Zhuzhu heard it: "Is Senior Brother Li hungry?"
Before Li Xiao could deny it, she continued, "I'm also hungry, why don't we go eat together?"
Just as Li Xiao was about to refuse, the girl continued, "I'm new here, and there are still many things I don't understand that I need to ask Senior Brother Li for advice. I'll treat you to this meal as a greeting gift. I hope Senior Brother won't be ungrateful?"
Since following Yu Qingzhou, Li Xiao has never gone hungry, not to mention anything else.
I'm so hungry right now that my head is spinning, all I can hear is the other person saying they're going to treat me.
On second thought, Yu Qingzhou had been out strolling with this little girl earlier, but now he hadn't been seen for half a day. Who knew if he was still with that vixen, drinking tea and holding hands...
Why bother waiting here on an empty stomach for someone who has no idea about you?
So he closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and asked the girl in front of him what she planned to treat him to.
Zhu Zhu seemed surprised that Li Xiao agreed so readily, and then a sweeter smile appeared on her face.
"Whatever Senior Brother Li wants to eat, I'll treat him to it."
"Let me make this clear from the start: I'm very picky about food and have a great appetite. Don't make any boasts about treating me, little brat, only to turn around and complain about being broke later."
"I understand, I understand. Since you said you'd treat us, then I'll do whatever you say, senior brother."
...
As the two figures, one tall and one short, walked away, talking to each other, they gradually disappeared into the distance.
Chang Li looked at Yu Qingzhou beside him with some concern. The latter remained silent, simply gazing at the young boy and girl, seemingly lost in thought.
"Brother?" Chang Li couldn't help but call out.
Originally, he was worried about Li Xiao going down the mountain alone, fearing that if something really happened, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Yu Qingzhou.
Unexpectedly, they saw Li Xiao hanging out with the new girl, and not only that, Yu Qingzhou caught them in the act.
At first, there was some schadenfreude.
Li Xiao, you big idiot, you've made a mess of things now, haven't you?
But seeing that Yu Qingzhou didn't seem very happy, Chang Li was still unsure why.
My brother's sweetheart should be Senior Sister Shen.
Although unwilling, even Chang Li had to admit that the two were a perfect match in every way.
—Of course, most importantly, almost everyone in the Hidden Immortal Sect could see that my brother liked Senior Sister Shen.
Although Senior Sister Shen's attitude has never been very clear, she has always been indifferent and treats everyone the same, not even a cute little kid like me.
This cold woman only seemed to show a rare kindness to her brother.
Well... it's barely acceptable, but it can be considered mutual affection.
So, to be honest, Chang Li wasn't very optimistic about Li Xiao's one-sided crush.
Especially since this big idiot can't even figure out if she likes her brother, she's incredibly stupid. If they really got together, she'd definitely be a burden to her brother...
Not to mention, this kid has even started arguing with the new girl.
—Hmph, serves them right for being caught!
Chang Li wished he could jump out right now, point his finger at the boy's nose, and laugh at him mercilessly.
But Yu Qingzhou stopped him.
Chang Li seemed quite puzzled: "No, we're just going to let them go eat like this?"
Yu Qingzhou hummed in agreement and calmly asked, "Otherwise what?"
"Of course..."
Chang Li was about to say something eloquent when he suddenly stopped.
That's right. It's Li Xiao's own business that he likes his brother. He doesn't need to interfere. After all, if Li Xiao really leaves the game, he'll be missing someone to share his brother with.
Then, her dark eyes darted around, and she tilted her head back, hugging Yu Qingzhou's arm sweetly and saying, "Brother is right. They are them, and we are us. Actually, Ali is hungry too. I want to eat the sweet fermented rice from that shop last time~"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingzhou reached out and patted Chang Li's head, who then squinted his round eyes into two crescent moons with satisfaction.
It seems like my brother doesn't really care about that idiot's business, so let him be.
Chang Li wore an innocent, harmless smile while secretly thinking to himself.
Who knew that fate would bring such a twist of fate...
