Waaah... that was an excuse she made when she was a gluttonous child.
After taking the candied hawthorn, Li Yuehuan awkwardly forced a smile and said, "Brother Shaokai, I've grown up now."
"In our hearts, you will always be that smiling little kid."
Gu Shaokai put one hand in his pocket and comforted her gently, "So, never be sad over an insignificant man."
"I'll introduce you to someone even better another day, Kai-ge."
"I don't want it." Li Yuehuan licked the candied hawthorn and quickly refused. She knew that Gu Shaokai meant what he said and might really find her a man tomorrow.
Just then, Hei Zi ran over and said, "Brother Kai, a boss has come over to discuss business."
Without hesitation, Gu Shaokai said, "Tell him to wait a moment, I'll take Huanhuan home first."
Li Yuehuan hurriedly said, "Brother Shaokai, you're busy. I can go home by myself."
After the teasing, she had calmed down; she was an optimist by nature.
"Then remember to call me when you get home."
Gu Shaokai gave her some instructions out of concern.
"good."
After Gu Shaokai left, Li Yuehuan strolled leisurely down the street alone.
Suddenly, the man she had been longing for appeared in front of her, startling her so much that she dropped the candied hawthorn in her hand.
Before she could react, he pulled her into a corner. Subconsciously, she thought the man wouldn't hurt her, so she didn't shout for help.
After confirming that no one was around, Lu Shen stopped, turned to face her, and his usually indifferent and aloof eyes were now tinged with a tenderness that even he himself did not realize.
Li Yuehuan blinked, and her heart, which had just died, instantly came back to life.
"You... what are you doing here?"
After she finished speaking, she stared at him nervously, but the man remained silent.
He was screaming in his heart, "Lu Shen, say something!"
Lu Shen's eyes met hers, his heart pounded like a drum, and he finally looked away in embarrassment.
This was the first time he had acted so recklessly, grabbing her hand without a second thought. But after calming down, he regretted it, realizing he shouldn't have brought her into his world.
The man's cold behavior broke Li Yuehuan's heart, and she shook off his hand with tears in her eyes.
"Lu Shen, you bastard, I never want to see you again."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man grabbed her wrist, his voice pleading.
"Huanhuan, don't go."
Li Yuehuan froze on the spot, suddenly forgetting to cry, and stiffly turned around, "What did you call me?"
It turns out that her name sounds so beautiful when spoken by a man.
Lu Shen no longer suppressed his emotions. He took two steps forward, and the two were only a centimeter apart. He picked up her hand and wiped away her tears.
Is there anything wrong with me calling you Huanhuan?
"No...no."
Li Yuehuan stared at the man expectantly, her words tumbling out incoherently.
Lu Shen knew that now was not the time to talk about romance; he needed to find out more about the man.
What is your relationship with that man?
Which man?
Li Yuehuan was so captivated by the man's tenderness that she didn't even notice what he was saying.
A thought suddenly struck him: was he talking about Brother Shao Kai? But how did he know about Brother Shao Kai's existence? Unless…
A smile spread across his face. "Were you standing outside the whole time?"
How could she forget that this man is no ordinary man? He wouldn't do something like coming to her door to confront her.
Lu Shen didn't deny it. He leaned slightly forward, looking into her eyes, his voice low and gentle, "Is he really your boyfriend?"
"Of course."
This was the first time they had been so close. The scent of soap on the man attracted her, and Li Yuehuan couldn't help but sniff a few more times, almost revealing the truth.
But when he thought of what Brother Shaokai had said, he stiffened his neck and replied.
Lu Shen felt heavy-hearted. "Why did you start dating without saying a word?"
Upon hearing his words, Li Yuehuan was furious and pushed him away. "You don't like me, so can't someone else like me?"
Every word she said felt like a dagger piercing his heart.
Lu Shen's body was tense, and his muscle lines showed unparalleled toughness and strength.
"Li Yuehuan, listen to me, I like you."
The atmosphere froze for a minute, with only the sounds of people talking on the street.
It took Li Yuehuan a while to find her voice, "Could you say that again?"
Lu Shen likes her, which is definitely the happiest thing for her.
Lu Shen said, word by word, "I didn't want to bother you before, so I acted so coldly. Actually, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you."
"I thought I could suppress my feelings for you, but when Qin Sheng said you had a boyfriend, my world collapsed. I rushed over without thinking and just stood in the corner watching you two being intimate."
Li Yuehuan quickly explained, "That's not intimacy, Lu Shen, don't misunderstand. I invited Brother Shaokai here to deliberately annoy you. He already has Sister Xinyi."
After saying all that in one breath, she started to worry about other issues.
Will he think he's being scheming?
"Silly girl."
Lu Shen opened his arms and hugged her tightly, his tone full of doting affection.
Li Yuehuan gently leaned against his chest, stretched out her slender forearm to hug his waist, and greedily inhaled the fragrance emanating from his body.
He smiled and said, "I'm not stupid."
Didn't she just find out the man's true feelings? It was all worth it.
Li Yuehuan slowly pushed him away from her embrace, looking into his dark eyes, where her reflection seemed to be.
"So what is our relationship now?"
Lu Shen raised an eyebrow, gently stroked her soft and delicate face, and said earnestly.
"Huanhuan, shall we be boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Li Yuehuan blushed and nodded eagerly, "Okay, I not only want to be your boyfriend, but also your wife in the future."
Lu Shen gently kissed her forehead. "I've made up my mind about you for the rest of my life. Lu Shen will always belong to Li Yuehuan."
Li Yuehuan nestled sweetly into the man's arms, "Li Yuehuan will belong to Lu Shen for the rest of my life."
Hehe, she's won him over.
The two agreed to pretend they weren't close at school. First, they were still students, and the school didn't allow them to date. Second, he was afraid of disrupting Huanhuan's peaceful life.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Shen said reluctantly, "Huanhuan, I have something to do. I'll take you home first, and we'll meet again tomorrow."
It was almost noon, and he had promised his mother he would come home to cook. His mother would be worried if she didn't see him.
Li Yuehuan was very sensible. "Okay, I can go home by myself."
"No, I won't feel at ease until I see you come home."
How could she not know that Lu Shen had such a sweet and affectionate side?
But she really likes it.
Walking down the street, they didn't hold hands openly, since it wasn't allowed in this era and would easily attract gossip. Lu Shen didn't care, but Huanhuan's reputation was very important.
Even though they didn't hold hands, the two were very content.
