Chapter 733: Chapter 17: The First Direct Confession Chapter 733: Chapter 17: The First Direct Confession After the Northern Army took over the Mysterious Realm, the three of them teleported out of the realm.
Chen Lingyun and Tang Xiaolian had not yet completed their Ear and Eye Perception, so they needed to return to the tranquil monastery to continue their cultivation; Yan Yu, having achieved his goal, naturally had to return to Jinling Prefecture to continue leading the team… That was supposed to be the arrangent.
But Tang Xiaolian invited to dinner! Well, there was no helping it, after all, I am her benefactor, and I should give her the chance to repay .
She arranged to et at a little restaurant nearby. Yan Yu arrived early and had ordered so dishes when he saw Tang Xiaolian push the door open and enter.
“Did you deal with Ling Yun?” Yan Yu asked casually, “What did you say?”
“Um,” Tang Xiaolian replied, “I told Ling Yun that I had so issues and needed to consult with you.”
“There’s no need to lie,” Yan Yu waved his hand dismissively, “She definitely saw right through you.”
“So be it,” Tang Xiaolian picked up the nu with a smile, “I’m here to eat with you, not to do anything shaful, so she can’t control .”
The Huofeng Team is deservedly known for their team-building sessions in restaurants. This girl ordered several hearty dishes, which made Yan Yu think that she and the Demonic Sect Enchantress would definitely get along well.
The food was served, and the two chatted and laughed while drinking so wine.
Tang Xiaolian was quite talkative, unlike Ye Jun, who was more like a buddy; she was more like the childhood friend next door, lively and humorous, and able to continue any topic, creating the atmosphere of a lively group in their private room.
After being served a few drinks by her, and not using his True Yuan to refine the alcohol, Yan Yu was slightly tipsy and enjoying himself when he suddenly heard Tang Xiaolian ask:
“Yan Yu, do you have a girlfriend now?”
“No,” Yan Yu answered.
“Do you have soone you like?” Tang Xiaolian continued.
“No,” Yan Yu replied.
A volley of verbal ammo got loaded, model “you wish,” ready to fire!
“Um,” Tang Xiaolian suddenly fell silent, preventing Yan Yu from taking his proverbial shot, leaving him with his finger just on the trigger.
She casually picked up the wine bottle and filled the glass in front of Yan Yu.
“Actually, I’ve heard so rumors,” Tang Xiaolian ntioned casually, “They say the girls from the Zhenhai Team all like you, but you haven’t accepted any of their feelings because if you did, the other girls wouldn’t be able to stay in the team.”
“That’s false,” Yan Yu said succinctly.
“Which part is false?” Tang Xiaolian curiously asked.
“The second half,” Yan Yu replied.
“So, the part about them all liking you is true?” Tang Xiaolian smiled faintly.
“Of course,” Yan Yu said proudly, “I am the number one cultivator in Lu Country! It’s normal for to be very popular with the opposite sex, right?”
“Indeed,” Tang Xiaolian nodded, “I can relate to that.”
She fell silent again, focusing on eating her food.
Yan Yu was left sowhat speechless: Co on, if you’re going to confess, just do it. Why beat around the bush?
How can I reject you if you don’t confess? If I don’t reject you, how can I dispel your inappropriate thoughts?
He downed the wine in his glass and quietly observed Tang Xiaolian’s expression.
This girl had previously been tornted so much in the Great Hero Treasure Hall that she rolled on the ground in pain. After getting out, she changed into a clean, aqua-blue dress, and now she looked like a lively, cute, beautiful young girl. Her hairstyle featured low-hanging twin pigtails, and her features were pure and lovely, though her expression seed sowhat lancholic.
I get it, she’s afraid of being rejected by after confessing!
Yan Yu was about to speak when Tang Xiaolian suddenly said:
“In high school, actually quite a few boys chased after . I uniformly told them that I wanted to focus on my studies, and most of them gave up after I rejected them, though a few persisted annoyingly… One boy even said he would wait until we graduated from high school and after we were in university, then he would confess again, hoping I’d give him another chance.”
“That’s nice,” Yan Yu said, “That’s true love.”
“Ah, what true love!” Tang Xiaolian sighed and pouted, “I was quite moved at the ti, but then a month later, he got a girlfriend.”
“That guy is untrustworthy!” Yan Yu imdiately retorted, “I despise him, I thoroughly despise him!”
“You don’t need to despise him,” Tang Xiaolian said somberly, “He probably said those words just to ease the embarrassnt of being rejected. After all, we didn’t have anything to do with each other, so why should I demand that he truly stays single until we graduate? I don’t have that right.”
“That makes see you in a new light,” Yan Yu said with a smile, “Not many people understand these things nowadays. Many girls, even if they don’t like the guy fawning over them, get sour if they see him shift his attention to soone else.”
“I don’t think he was a fawning guy,” Tang Xiaolian shook her head, “Actually, I kind of sympathize with him. I know it must be really unpleasant to fall for soone who doesn’t like you back.”
“Indeed,” Yan Yu sympathized.
Actually, there’s sothing even more painful: falling for soone when you “don’t know whether they like you back.” Your scenario is just a brief pain; mine is long-term, extre tornt… Oh, forget it!
“Yan Yu,” Tang Xiaolian suddenly asked, “If you fell for soone, and you knew that she wouldn’t accept you right now, would you choose to wait for her to change her mind?”
“No,” Yan Yu said firmly, “I would run as far away as I could, never harboring any hopes again.”
Tang Xiaolian paused for a long ti, then chuckled dryly:
