Chapter 158 - Anxious for you (2/2)

“Such a short strand of hair is definitely not from a woman. You’re wrong, sister-in-law,” Xiaowu said, in defense of Xiao Luo.

Zhang Dashan, Xiao Ruyi, and Hu Shuirong all glared at him, annoyed at his reaction.

“Gulp.”

Xiaowu swallowed hard. He nervously looked at Feng Wuhen: “Brother Feng, did I… did I say something wrong?”

Feng Wuhen slapped him at the back of his head and chided him, “d.a.m.n it, of course, you’re in the wrong. Brother Xiao and sister-in-law are talking about love, why are you interrupting? Not only did you take my line, but you also took Brother Xiao’s lines. Do you think your’ wings have sprouted and you can fly now’? Even when you’re eating, you can’t shut your mouth!”

Xiaowu looked to be almost in tears, not knowing how to react.

Sun Yublushed again. At this point, there was not much time left, and the gala was about to start. Being the first performance of the night, she rushed off backstage to prepare. As they were walking through the hotel lobby, she suddenly pulled at Hu Shuirong’s arm, realizing she had left something behind.

“Wait, I haven’t taken my bag!”

Hu Shuirong quickly returned to the table and retrieved the bag. But before she left, she took the opportunity to say to Xiao Luo, “Yuyu is a good girl. If you love her, take her far away because nursing isn’t an easy profession. She often has to stay up late, and even young girls can turn old very quickly.”

Having said that, she gave everyone a smile, turned, and left.

“Sister Shuirong is right, though the profession seems to be selfless and compa.s.sionate. Only they can understand how hard it is, isn’t that right, Sister Luo?” Zhang Dashan said, continuing where Hu Shuirong left off.

“Right, you are right. From the time you entered this hall till now, it is the most factually accurate thing you’ve said!”

“d.a.m.n it, even when you’re drinking you have to mock me!”

Zhang Dashan stood up and clinked his gla.s.s with Xiao Ruyi, and they both took a shot, downing the drink right down the gullet.

“That’s enough for now. Eat, or else my husband will finish everything on the table,” Xiao Ruyi said jokingly to everyone.

Zhang Dashan said without concern: “How much can Tang Ren eat? Brother Feng, come, show her your appet.i.te, it will scare her to death!”

Spurt!

After hearing the phrase ‘scare her to death,’ Xiao Ruyi, laughing, almost spurting out her drink all over the table. Luckily, she turned quickly and directed it to the floor next to her. Otherwise, the food on the table would have all gone to waste.

Not long after, the gala performance commenced.

Sun Yu and Hu Shuirong, along with four other girls, walked to the center of the stage and began dancing to the soft music.

Xiao Luo didn’t pay much heed to others. All his attention now solely focused on Sun Yu. Sun Yu danced beautifully to the music, moving smoothly with grace. Her slender form floated across the stage gently, her costume evoking images of s.h.i.+mmering b.u.t.terflies as tiny petals floated down from above the entire scene. Her beauty was intoxicating.

Ta-thump. Ta-thump.

Xiao Luo could almost hear the sound of his heart beating faster. He sensed the blood rising to his head. He froze like an idiot just by watching Sun Yu dancing on stage.

“Brother, you’re moved, aren’t you? What are you waiting for, hurry up and take her, hehe…” Zhang Dashan had unknowingly crept next to him and urged him on.

Xiao Luo rolled his eyes at him, and said irritably, “Do I need you to teach me?”

“d.a.m.n it. I’m just worried about you!” Zhang Dashan said anxiously.
