Wu Yaqing, Hong Yujun, and Chu Qingyue passed by a stall selling shoes, and Hong Yujun stopped, “1 want to buy a pair of shoes.”

Wu Yaqing and Chu Qingyue looked at the stall, and Wu Yaqing commented, “This is a men’s shoe stall. You…”

Hong Yujun, with an evasive look, said, “Don’t make wild guesses.”

Wu Yaqing and Chu Qingyue exchanged knowing smiles.

Feeling embarrassed, Hong Yujun tried to ignore them and approached the stall, choosing the best shoes, “Young man, could you box these nicely for me?”

The assistant smiled, “Sure thing, miss. Just a moment.”

After paying, the three girls continued walking, with Wu Yaqing and Chu Qingyue flanking Hong Yujun.

Wu Yaqing teased, “Confess, and we won’t nag you.”

Blushing, Hong Yujun whispered, “1 will tell you if you promise to keep it a secret.”

Wu Yaqing solemnly swore, “We won’t tell anyone.”

Hong Yujun whispered, “1 used to know a young master. He asked his friend to be my matchmaker. These shoes were bought for him.”

“Matchmaking?” Wu Yaqing excitedly asked, “Have you met him already?”

Hong Yujun nodded shyly, “Twice already.”

Wu Yaqing enviously said, “You both have someone you like. Why am I still alone?”

Chu Qingyue patted her shoulder, comforting, “You’re still young, no need to rush.”

Wu Yaqing stamped her foot, gesturing dramatically, “Oh heavens, grant me someone too.”

Third Master Lu turned around, “What do you want?”

When Wu Yaqing saw Third Master Lu, she was furious and said rudely, “Why are you here? Aren’t you helping?”

Could he say that he left because Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong were being lovey-dovey?

Third Master Lu glanced at Wu Yaqing. “Why do you care where I am? Does it have anything to do with you?”

Wu Yaqing retorted, “It doesn’t, but why are you answering me?!”

Third Master Lu shrugged, “Just happened naturally.”

Wu Yaqing pointed at him, fuming, “People like you deserve to be struck by lightning.”

Third Master Lu looked dejected, “Yes, I’m unlucky. Got hit on the head for no reason, and the assaulter refused to take care of me. It’s tragic.”Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Feeling guilty, Wu Yaqing stammered, “I, uh…”

Third Master Lu shook his head and said in a disappointed tone, “Forget it. Someone like me was born to be abandoned. If I’m beaten up, I can only blame myself for being unlucky. If I’m struck by lightning, so be it.” With that, he turned around and left.

Wu Yaqing pulled Chu Qingyue with one hand and Hong Yujun with the other. She said anxiously, “I suddenly feel so sorry for him. What should 1 do?”

When Chu Qingyue and Hong Yujun heard Third Master Lu’s words, they couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

Hong Yujun suggested, “Maybe buy him something as an apology?”

Chu Qingyue agreed, “Right, buy something or invite him to eat something to apologize?”

Determined, Wu Yaqing said, “You go ahead. I’ll find him.” She would show some sympathy to the pitiful-looking man.

Chu Qingyue advised, “Be sincere, Third Master Lu won’t hold it against you.”

Resolute, Wu Yaqing said, “Okay.”

She quickly caught up to Third Master Lu’s tall and cold figure, awkwardly trying to make amends, “Um, how about I treat you to something to eat?”

Third Master Lu glanced at Wu Yaqing. His eyes were cold and emotionless, as if he had returned to being the cold and heartless Third Master Lu in the capital.

“No need, you eat.”

Wu Yaqing was a little frustrated. She took a step forward and blocked Third Master Lu’s path. She put her hands on her waist. “You’re a man. Why are you so petty? I’ve already come to apologize to you. Can’t you be more magnanimous and accept it?”

Third Master Lu’s gaze was cold. “No!” With that, he stepped around her and continued walking.

Wu Yaqing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then reached out to grab Third Master Lu’s arm, stopping him, “1…”

Third Master Lu didn’t expect Wu Yaqing to grab him, and as a passerby bumped into him from the side, he stumbled towards her.

Wu Yaqing felt herself being enveloped by a looming shadow and fell backward.

Everything happened too quickly for her to react.

Third Master Lu, reacting faster, stepped aside to stabilize himself while reaching out to grab Wu Yaqing’s wrist and pull her up.

After standing up, Wu Yaqing felt dizzy.

Seeing that Wu Yaqing was alright, Third Master Lu continued on his way.

Suddenly, Wu Yaqing shouted, “Stop!”

Everyone around stopped and turned to look at her.

Embarrassed, she smiled awkwardly at the onlookers and then pulled Third Master Lu through the crowd to a snack stall, “How about 1 treat you to something as an apology?”

Third Master Lu glanced at the stall and said indifferently, “Not hungry.”

Wu Yaqing was speechless.

She wondered if it was impossible to please him.

She forcefully sat Third Master Lu down on a stool, assertively stating, “If you won’t eat, then watch me eat!”

Third Master Lu was speechless.

Why wasn’t Wu Yaqing afraid of him?

Usually, when he was stern, people around him were intimidated, but this girl dared to force him?

They were at a stall selling noodle soup. The owner, feeling Third Master Lu’s icy aura, was hesitant to approach, “Miss, what would you like?”

Wu Yaqing raised her hand and said happily, “A bowl of seafood noodles.”

The owner nervously asked, “Just one bowl?”

Wu Yaqing nodded affirmatively. “One bowl, a big portion.”

“Sure thing.”

The noodles were quickly prepared. The owner placed it on the table and hurried away, finding Third Master Lu too intimidating. Even from a distance, he felt oppressive and chilly, like someone from an ice cave.

He glanced admiringly at Wu Yaqing, amazed at her courage. Wasn’t she afraid of being frozen?

Wu Yaqing ignored Third Master Lu, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating the noodle happily.

As for expressing her apology, she had completely forgotten about it.

All she wanted was to go against Third Master Lu.

Naturally, Third Master Lu had no interest in watching Wu Yaqing eat and tried to leave, but she was quick to react. As soon as he stood up, Wu Yaqing pushed him back onto the stool.

Third Master Lu was speechless.

Wu Yaqing withdrew her hand, stating domineeringly, “You can leave after 1 finish eating.”

Why should I?” Third Master Lu frowned, his intimidating presence becoming more palpable, causing the stall owner to shiver.

“For no reason,” Wu Yaqing thought to herself. There was no point in reasoning, so she decided not to bother..
