Chapter 276 I want to become a Taoist couple with you
"Lu Huai, Lu Huai, you're walking too fast, could you please slow down a little?"
"If you can't, let go of your hand first."
"Junior Brother? Junior Brother? Lu Huai?"
"No, what's wrong with you? I didn't provoke you. You have long legs and I have short legs. Can you walk slower?"
Nan Xiao was dragged along by Lu Huai all the way, and not a single step was taken voluntarily.
"Hey, if you do this, I'm going to get angry too."
They grew up together, and basically they would express their anger openly, instead of deliberately giving a cold shoulder or starting a cold war.
After talking things out, they were back to normal in a short while.
Lu Huai paused and stopped suddenly, and Nan Xiao bumped into him without noticing.
This guy has a really hard back.
Nan Xiao covered his forehead and looked up at him. The young man had a cold face with the words "I'm unhappy" written all over his face.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
"Why didn't I realize you were so angry before?"
“The bigger, the weirder.”
Lu Huai snorted twice in a proud manner, without answering, he led the person into the house and closed the door.
The two sat face to face, and Lu Huai poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Nan Xiao.
Lu Huai said in a sullen tone, "Xiaoxiao, aren't you angry?"
Nan Xiao: “?”
"What should I be angry about?"
baffling.
Lu Huai murmured awkwardly, "Miss Wen is worried. She wants to take advantage of me."
Nan Xiao blinked, becoming interested: "And then?"
Isn't this obvious? The girl almost carved the words "Thank you for saving my life, I will repay you with my body" on her forehead.
I thought this kid didn't understand, but I didn't expect he knew everything.
This was the first time she saw her fellow apprentices’ romantic affairs, so she couldn’t help but feel a little curious.
Seeing her indifferent and gossipy look, Lu Huai felt even more upset.
He pursed his lips slightly, gripping the water glass with his hand, unconsciously rubbing and tightening it. The veins on the back of his hand bulged slightly, as if he had made an important decision. His clear eyes locked onto hers, his tone filled with seriousness and a subtle sense of loss: "You're not angry, but I'm unhappy."
Nan Xiao's heart trembled. It was that feeling again, tingling and numb, making her mind wander and prone to random thoughts.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you must have seen a pig run.
Lu Huai's behavior had shown this tendency before, but she avoided it automatically and didn't want to think too much about it.
She turned her head away somewhat awkwardly, not daring to meet his gaze again.
Lu Huai put his hands on her shoulders and forcefully pulled her over, leaving her with no way to escape.
"Xiaoxiao, I don't like Miss Wen. Saving her was just a matter of convenience. Even if it wasn't her, but someone else, I would still help. It has nothing to do with anything else."
Nan Xiao was also nervous. Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt. She sat stiffly and straight. She had never sat so straight before. Her heart began to beat uncontrollably again. "I know. You don't have to tell me this."
After saying that, she cursed in her heart: What a loser.
Did she read so many novels and watched so many TV dramas in vain?
Lu Huai said seriously, "Yes, I do. I don't want you to misunderstand me, and I don't want to see you not caring about me."
He mustered up his courage, his ears starting to turn red: "What I said is all from the heart, Xiaoxiao, listen carefully."
"I like you, I want to be your partner, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life."
This short sentence caused Nan Xiao's brain to freeze for a short time, making her unable to think.
Thinking about it is one thing, and hearing it spoken out loud is another.
Lu Huai looked at her dazed expression and couldn't help but feel nervous. He knew that he had been impulsive.
But he couldn't wait.
The alcohol, her attitude... and...
He loosened his hand, withdrew from her safe range, lowered his eyes, and murmured: "Xiaoxiao, what about you?"
Nan Xiao regained consciousness and looked at Lu Huai. The boy had bright, clear eyes, beautiful features, a straight nose, and lips slightly pursed, with a hint of unconscious nervousness and stubbornness.
This boy has been with me since I came into this world.
It is undeniable that he is different in her heart.
It's certain that she has a crush on him.
Like? She didn't know, maybe there was. But she felt that family affection and dependence were probably more important.
Now that things have been brought out into the open, it would be impolite to avoid them.
She calmly asked back, "Do you really understand how you feel about me?"
"Because we grew up together, spending every day together, could we mistake this deep friendship and this accustomed dependence for love?"
Teenagers, who are ignorant and just beginning to fall in love, can easily mistake the closeness when they are together and the concern when they are apart for a deep and unforgettable love, and mistake the ignorant affection for a deep affection that cannot be separated from the other person.
Seeing that he was silent, Nan Xiao stood up and prepared to leave.
"Think about it again."
She also needs to think about it carefully.
Lu Huai grabbed her wrist and looked at her with burning eyes: "I don't know how to express it, but I am sure that I like you. When I see you, my mood will become uncontrollably happy, and I will miss you when I can't see you. When I see you talking to others, I will get angry. Xiaoxiao, I won't do this to others."
"I'm not a child who doesn't know anything."
Nan Xiao: “…”
"I can't give you an answer now, let me think about it."
Lu Huai breathed a sigh of relief. Not directly rejecting her meant she agreed, and agreeing meant she liked him. Xiaoxiao also liked him. Thinking of this, the depression around him instantly dissipated, a smile spread across his face, and joy emanated from his whole body.
Nan Xiao was influenced by him and the corners of her mouth curled up.
He was a calm and composed young man in front of outsiders, but he acted like a childish and silly dog in front of her.
She moved her wrist, signaling him to let go: "I'll go back first."
Lu Huai exerted force and Nan Xiao was caught off guard. He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
The boy hummed with a bit of arrogance, and his warm breath blew into her ear: "Hold me."
"You reek of alcohol, get out of here."
He muttered, "You let him hold you, I want one too."
Nan Xiao: “???”
who is he?
When Nan Xiao wanted to ask, Lu Huai let go of her, took her hand, and started walking out.
"Let's go. I'll take you there."
After being interrupted by him, Nan Xiao was too lazy to think about it anymore.
"Xiaoxiao, good night."
Nan Xiao looked at the young man with a bright smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
She hadn't agreed yet, so wasn't it too early to be happy? If she refused, would he cry?
Tsk, she had never seen Lu Huai cry. That face must be very pitiful when he cries.
Some anticipation, and some excitement.
Nan Xiao despised himself fiercely.
She is indeed not a good person.
…
The next morning.
Inside the house, Nan Xiao and several fellow apprentices sat together discussing matters. Lu Huai's expression was normal, no different from usual.
Under the table, Lu Huai secretly reached out and held Nan Xiao's hand, kneading it back and forth again and again, being intimate and reluctant to let go.
Nan Xiao would occasionally raise her eyes and glare at him, signaling him to be quiet. The latter played dumb, smiling innocently from time to time.
She couldn't help but curse inwardly: Shameless.
