Chapter 502: Du Lai’s Girlfriend
“Du Lai, why is your girlfriend always in the tent?” Bai Youwei asked with a mischievous grin, “Is she not hungry, or does she think your flatbreads are awful?”
Du Lai blinked, then glanced at the flatbread in his hand, chuckling, “It’s indeed not good.”
“Invite her out to eat together.” Bai Youwei proposed genially, “We have cooked plenty, it would be such a waste if left uneaten.”
Du Lai didn’t respond to her, laughing and teasing, “Doesn’t beef need to be stewed for a long ti to soften up? I’ve never seen you guys cook so quickly. It’s quite impressive to see steaming hot food ready so fast.”
Keeping her composure, Bai Youwei continued her invitation: “Would you like to try so? It’s really delicious~”
Du Lai chewed silently, taking a piece of the flatbread and swallowing it down with so cold water, responding, “Thanks, but you guys eat.”
He patted the bread crumbs off his clothes and walked into his tent.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo exchanged a glance.
Just as they were about to say sothing, a woman’s complaining voice ca from the tent:
“Why won’t you let out to eat? I want to eat! What are you afraid of…”
“You can’t eat…” Du Lai’s voice responded.
His voice was quickly drowned out by the woman’s:
“I can’t do this, I can’t do that! Is there anything I’m allowed to do?! Why did you save if that’s the case? You might as well have let die! …”
Her voice dropped as if Du Lai was calming her down.
After a little while, her voice beca lanting:
“Do you not love now that I’ve beco like this?”
Du Lai’s voice seed helpless: “I love…”
Woman: “Then you say it, I love you.”
Du Lai: “I love you.”
Woman: “Say it louder!”
Du Lai: “Cough… they will hear…”
Woman: “So what if they hear?! Is our love sothing to be ashad of? Why did you save if that’s the case? You might as well have let die!”
…
Outside the tent, Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were speechless.
Bai Youwei silently mouthed to Shen Mo: “Du Lai’s girlfriend has quite a character~”
Shen Mo glanced at the tent across from them, murmuring, “Seems like we were wrong. Du Lai doesn’t have the ti to sche against us now, let’s leave early.”
Bai Youwei pondered for a mont, then nodded: “Mm, okay.”
…
Indeed, Du Lai had no ti to sche against others now, as he spent almost all his ti comforting his girlfriend.
This was quite unusual.
For a street perforr like him, who had seen it all, was skilled in manipulation and well-versed in the tricks of the trade, it was a surprise to see him being so submissive and patient with a woman.
Bai Youwei felt she had a very limited understanding of Du Lai prior to this, but today she had truly seen another side of him.
And then…
She cast a sneak peek at Shen Mo.
Would Shen Mo treat her the sa way Du Lai did if she acted like Du Lai’s girlfriend?
Hmm…
She felt a bit eager to test it out.
…
Shen Mo was packing up.
He was skillful; the fire pit was extinguished with sand, utensils packed away neatly, even the tent had to be undid, folded and bound, ropes were wound adeptly, his actions flowing like water, his arms sinewing strength with every motion.
Sensing Bai Youwei’s gaze, he looked back at her and asked,”What’s up?”
Bai Youwei fixed her eyes on his, and quietly asked, “Do you love ?”
Shen Mo was slightly startled, then looked towards the tent across the road, realizing Bai Youwei had been “inspired”, barely suppressing his smile.
Seeing he didn’t respond, Bai Youwei hesitated, then asked again, “Does this question… make you hesitate?”
Shen Mo walked over, leaned down and lightly kissed her lips, answering with a soft smile, “It’s okay.”
Bai Youwei: “…”
What the hell is ‘it’s okay’?
