216 AYE AYE CAPTAIN (2/2)
”No, Long Yue. I won't be doing it so stop wasting your breath to me anymore. Try to negotiate with someone else.”
Mu Lingxi clearly stated her stand about the matter.
Seeing as how his persuasive approaches were ineffective to Su Yan, Long Yue quit nagging at his friend and decided to take his action up a notch.
Instead of directly persuading Su Yan, he started using self-pity act and self-blame
”I think Chan Gu was already starting to get fed up staying with us always that is why he was trying to seek out other's company now. Maybe, this is all my fault. I've been acting out of the line always. I am being too much. As such, he doesn't feel like befriending me anymore...”
”You are exaggerating things. Chan Gu is not fed up to us, at least not yet. But if ever he already was starting to get fed up with our company, which I think will not necessarily be the case, he still had no other choice. We all stay in the same room, remember?”
Mu Lingxi tried to reason out to her friend. But even she, herself feels like she got herself tangled up with her own words.
”Not unless he decided to switch rooms...”
”It won't reach to that extent. That, I guarantee you”
”BUt----”
”There is no Buts, Long Yue. Besides, why are you too caught up about it???? It's not like Chan Gu will get married soon to Hae Soo. You know what??? I think you sound more like a nagging and jealous mother-in-law...”
”I was just afraid that we will come to the point that Chan Gu will have to choose between joining our get together or having a date with Hae Soo. Then Chan GU will choose the latter.”
Long Yue muttered despondently beneath his breath.
Before he could even delve deeper into his feeling of lamentation, he heard Su Yan's voice.
”Okay, okay. I'll think of a plan later.”
Long Yue's face brightened upon hearing his friend's consent toward his proposal. He was not sure which of his words manage to change Su Yan's mind but he was happy about how the things turned out.
”I knew it, Brother Yan! You can't say 'no” to me... Hehehehe!”
The overjoyed Long Yue jump to his sit as he almost hugged Mu Lingxi. If not only because of the cat sitting in his friend's lap who was glaring at him as if it wanted to swallow him whole.
”It is not like you allow me to say no in the first place”
From the tone of Mu Lingxi's voice, there is a slight trace of sarcasm that is barely detectable.
”Yeah, you're right. I will just keep on pestering you until you finally say yes to me... HEHEHE”
Long Yue replied without any hint of hesitation. He did not even need to think twice when he admits to it.
”I'll think about it after we're done with our mission. In the meantime. Let first set our mind and focus our attention on uncovering more information regarding soul arts. So that, we can haste Luna recovery.”
”Aye! Aye Captain!”
Long Yue answered back with a big smile and salute.
