Chapter 515 (2/2)

“Yue’er, is he your friend?”

Before Li Tianjun and Madam Li could speak, someone had already beat them to it. He was a handsome young man. This young man and everyone else was looking at Ye Lang with the same expression on their faces- this man was just better at hiding it.

“Yes, he’s my friend.” Li Yue nodded. “Also, please don’t call me Yue’er, that’s what my parents and elders call me, not you.”

This young man was quite similar to Li Yue in terms of achievements. He liked using this as a reason to feel as if Li Yue and himself were different from the rest of the people, that they both were special.

He’d heard the people closest to Li Yue call her Yue’er, sometimes he’d shamelessly use this pet name too. She’d told him many times not to do it but he never listened.

Although she was upset, it wasn’t as if she could do anything about a person who merely used a pet name on her.

“Looks to me like you’re not just regular friends…” The young man ignored Li Yue’s warning, making a remark at their relationship as he looked at their hands pointedly.

Li Yue followed the direction of his eyes, wanting to know why he’d think they were more than friends.

“Ah…” she yelped softly, immediately letting go of Ye Lang’s wrist upon realising she’d done a very intimate action subconsciously.

She hadn’t noticed it because she was already very used to this ever since Ye Lang started carrying her around and caring for her.

More bluntly put- he’d already carried her for days, holding hands did not mean anything now.

However, that was because no one was around. Many people were staring at them now and her parents were there. Embarrassed, she immediately let go of Ye Lang’s hand, dipping her chin slightly as she blushed shyly.

“Ah…” Jaws dropped, everyone’s mouths opened wide enough to fit an egg.

Is this real? Li Yue’s blushing? They were in utter disbelief.

“Cough, cough…” Li Yue coughed as her eyes swept across the audience, as if saying What are you looking at, there’s nothing to see here!

In a moment, her fierce aura as a hardened soldier suddenly returned.

The crowd quickly shut their mouths, watching to see what would happen next. What would Li Yue’s reply be?

“Indeed, we’re not regular friends,” said Li Yue cooly, as if to imply she did not see a problem with this.

“Not regular friends? Then what are you both?” This was what every admirer and person who cared about Li Yue wanted to ask. The person who said this aloud was Animal Man in his fur coat.

“We’re…” Li Yue wanted to say something but couldn’t get out the words. It wasn’t because she didn’t want to tell them, she just didn’t know the answer.
