Chapter 050

Yu Shu stared at Yan Jin as if he was seeing her for the first time. After a while, his expression softened and the corners of his mouth curved up into a big smile.

Although Yu Shu was still unsure if Yan Jin liked him, her words still deeply touched him.

It was like a person walking in the wind and snow on a cold winter day, being gifted a bowl of ginger soup by a kind merchant on the roadside. Drinking it, the warmth spread from the stomach to the whole body, giving him the courage to keep going.

Even if they didn’t end up together in the future, or went their separate ways, Yu Shu would always remember that afternoon in August when someone told him “this will always be your home”.

“Xiaoxiao, in the future, my home will also be your home.” Yu Shu’s eyes sparkled as if pouring out the starry sky. “Wherever I am, that will be your home.”

[Damn it, I’m actually moved by his flirting.]

[Will they really have a bad ending? I don’t believe it! They’ve already said such things to each other, I refuse to believe they’re just pure friends!]

[Those two were never just pure friends anyway. I burned incense for the matchmaking god all night and he told me this couple will work out.]

Xu Junde glanced at Yu Shu, then at Yan Jin, and finally made eye contact with the dumbfounded Iron Beast.

He bent down and said to Iron Beast in a volume that both Yan Jin and Yu Shu could hear, “Don’t you also feel quite superfluous?”

“Ade!” Yu Shu, both embarrassed and anxious, called out Xu Junde’s name.

“Sigh, young people nowadays only care about exchanging glances with their sweetheart and don’t even pour water for their friends.” Xu Junde picked up Meatball and sighed slowly, “The world is really going downhill, people’s hearts are no longer what they used to be.”

Yan Jin still wanted to stay and watch Yu Shu make a scene, but Yu Shu pushed her back to the room to read. “No peeking. Every time I embarrass myself, you’re always there to see it. This time, go back to the room to read your book. I won’t let you watch.”

Originally Yan Jin wanted to agree outwardly but oppose inwardly. However, thinking of how lively and animated Yu Shu was when he got angry just now, she put away her little thoughts.

Later, when Xu Junde was teaching Yu Shu sword practice, he looked around but didn’t see Yu Shu’s sweetheart anywhere. So he asked, “Where’s your sweetheart? Why don’t I see her? Didn’t you say you wanted to let her see your graceful demeanor?”

Yu Shu wiped the sweat running down his forehead. “Next time. I’m sweating too much this time, it doesn’t look good.”

Xu Junde looked at the sweaty Yu Shu and smiled mysteriously, “When you get married, you’ll know that sometimes sweating a lot can make you look even better than usual.”

[Yu Shu only has sweat on his forehead, his clothes aren’t even wet, and he thinks he doesn’t look good. So pretentious.]

[I’m done for, my mind has been corrupted. I instantly understood what Brother Ade meant.]

[Oh my god, I just realized a car rolled over my face.]

After Xu Junde left, Yu Shu compared Yan Jin to the male and female leads he wrote. The more he compared, the more he felt Yan Jin liked him.

Yu Shu’s only good friend in An Country was Xu Junde. He had just confided in him, so it would be annoying to bother him again so soon. If he told his other friends, within a day, the story of him and Xiaoxiao would spread all over Anping Lane.

So Yu Shu squatted in the corner of the garden, hugging Meatball and muttered, “After thinking it over, I still feel Xiaoxiao likes me.”

Meatball seriously gnawed on its food, allowing Yu Shu to chatter about his young man’s heart matters by its ear. “Meatball, I’ll secretly tell you, usually so many people like your sister, but your Xiaoxiao sister never paid attention to them.”

After Meatball finished eating, it reached out to take the apple in Yu Shu’s hand. Yu Shu subconsciously handed the apple to it and continued muttering.

“If she didn’t like me, then why did she directly say I was still young when Ade mentioned someone wanting to propose to me earlier? Whether in An Country or now, I’m already an adult. She said I don’t need to rush to get married just for the sake of stability, and that this place will always be my home.”

Yu Shu talked about Yan Jin’s kindness to him like he was counting his family valuables. The more he talked, the brighter his eyes became, and his tone grew more and more certain. He couldn’t help but hug Meatball, “Xiaoxiao showed it so obviously, she must like me!”

After saying that, Yu Shu couldn’t help hugging Meatball tightly and silently screaming with his head buried in its furry neck.

Ah! Great! Xiaoxiao likes him!

Although Yu Shu was restrained and didn’t use too much force, Meatball’s eyes still showed a hint of resignation at being hugged so tightly.

Noticing Meatball’s struggle, Yu Shu stuffed another apple into its mouth to appease it.
