Chapter 531 – At First Sight (2/2)

Tang Thirty-Six waved his hand. ”We're all part of…hic…the same family, no need for such…hic…courtesy.”

His appearance was very natural, free and at ease, his heroism soaring to the clouds, yet his hiccups never ceased throughout his talk.

In truth, this was also a feat worthy of admiration. He was constantly hiccupping yet still managed to so calmly conclude this conversation.

On the side, Chen Changsheng watched and thought, I guess this is the benefit of having a thick skin?

Xu Yourong said, ”Let's chat again in the future.”

Tang Thirty-Six withdrew his smile and said, ”Whenever the Holy Maiden pleases.”

Chen Changsheng raised up the umbrella to cover Xu Yourong's head, then the two began walking to some other place in the forest.

As he passed Tang Thirty-Six, the two exchanged glances containing countless questions and wariness.

”Don't speak of this matter to anyone else.”

”Relax, who am I?”

As Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong walked several dozen zhang through the falling snow, Tang Thirty-Six still stood where he was, smiling and waving his hands. He maintained the posture of saying goodbye: the curve of his smile and the range in which he waved his hand were all perfect, perfectly displaying the courtesy and accumulated experience of a young master of a noble clan.

Xu Yourong whispered, ”This friend of yours is a truly wondrous (妙) person.”

Chen Changsheng thought, where did this word come from? Is it the ‘wondrous’ (妙) from ‘unfathomably mysterious’ (莫名其妙)?

Only when Tang Thirty-Six watched their two figures disappear into the forest and could no longer see them did he finally relax.

With some difficulty, he walked over to a tree, stuck out his hands to support himself on it, then began to hiccup without end with a much higher frequency than when he was talking.

After this period, he finally truly calmed down and his shocked emotions finally truly began to settle.

He let out a strange shout and hugged the tree, then began to complain about Chen Changsheng and himself.

It was just at this moment that Xuanyuan Po finished his morning practice and walked out from the depths of the forest. He just so happened to see the crazy scene of Tang Thirty-Six hugging the tree and couldn't help but be surprised.

”Don't you normally tell me that hitting trees is particularly childish? Why are you also working with trees today?”

Tang Thirty-Six continued to hug the tree, unwilling to let go. He sobbed, ”I've already acted so shamelessly today; what's another shameless act on top of it?”

In truth, Chen Changsheng had never understood what the name 'Xu Yourong' meant to the young men of the world. Although Tang Thirty-Six, because of the engagement and his friendship with Chen Changsheng, did not adore Xu Yourong like the vast majority of the young men in the world, such as the Demon Lord's son, she was still Xu Yourong!

And then what had he done? Like a little urchin, he had buried himself under the snow to eavesdrop on their conversation and then said bad things about her behind her back. This morning, he didn't have time to wash his face or even brush his teeth, and the bags under his eyes were so heavy…he had never felt so ashamed in his life and he wished he could nothing more than hug this tree for the rest of his life.

Suddenly, Tang Thirty-Six turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Po, saying, ”They just met for the first time yesterday, so how can they be walking around today with each other? Moreover, looking at their appearance, although they deliberately kept a hand's width of distance between them, this sort of deliberation is a problem in itself!”

As he spoke, he stuck out his right hand in a fist and compared it with Xuanyuan Po. Afterwards, he sneered, ”What a fine couple, purposely acting calm so that they could conceal it from my insight? Who am I? How could I not see that passionate and illicit appearance of theirs!”

Xuanyuan Po had simply no idea what was going on and found him quite strange. ”You've gone crazy!”

Ordinarily, upon hearing such an honest assessment, Tang Thirty-Six would absolutely not have taken it lying down, but now, his mind was completely occupied with that just-departed couple. Looking at Xuanyuan Po, he very seriously asked, ”Do you believe in love at first sight?”

Xuanyuan Po replied, ”In the tribe, after the first meeting, we usually get married. Does that count?”

Tang Thirty-Six was almost at a loss for words. He asked back, ”Do you think it counts?”

Xuanyuan Po contemplated the question very seriously, finally saying without much confidence, ”I think…it should count?”

Tang Thirty-Six thought, it's really impossible to chat with this person. After leaving the forest, he returned to the house, pushed open the door, and immediately asked, ”Do you believe in love at first sight?”
