Chapter 492 - What About Gu Yue? (2/2)

“Yuanen, wait for me!” Xie Xie shouted as he chased after her.

Yuanen Yehui headed straight for their dormitory without sparing him a glance.

Owing to his speed, Xie Xie eventually caught up with her. “Yuanen, there’s something I want to talk to you about.” He made sure to scan the area for onlookers before speaking in a hushed voice.

“What are you being all secretive for?” From the corner of her eye, she snuck a peek at him. Her anger had subsided in the last two days. Looking back with a clear head, she had determined that Xie Xie truly hadn’t peeped on purpose, and his confession had moved her. He was the first boy to show her any affection. Even if she didn’t like the circumstances under which he confessed, it still left a deep impression in her heart. No one disliked being loved. She kept telling herself to ignore him, but she wasn’t angry enough to follow through anymore.

Then there were the chores. Xie Xie cleaned the dormitory daily, and had recently picked up the task of bringing her a fresh basin of water every morning. He kept at it even at her act of ignoring. Even at her scorn.

“Don’t you think Wulin and his little sister are close? Like, too close? They’re not siblings by blood! And his sister is so pretty too!” Xie Xie exclaimed.

“What are you saying?” She narrowed her eyes as she watched him.

“Nothing much. I’m just a bit worried. His little sister’s girl power is too strong. She’s absolutely stunning and super attached to him. There’s no way a man won’t be attracted to her. Of course, I’m not talking about me! You’re the only one in my heart!”

“Get away from me.” Yuanen Yehui hastened her steps.

“Wait! Don’t run! Hear me out on this!” Xie Xie said as he tailed her. “I’m worried. What about Gu Yue? None of us are blind here. It’s obvious that she likes Wulin! You’ve been around us for a while now too. What do you think will happen to Gu Yue if Wulin ends up with his little sister?”

Yuanen Yehui froze, her eyes once again focusing on Xie Xie. “What does that have to do with you? Just mind your own business. Let them sort out their relationships themselves.”

Worry flitted in Xie Xie’s eyes. “But we’re friends! I don’t want anything to come between that! And you’ve seen how differently Gu Yue treats Wulin.”

“So what if I’ve seen it? Or if I haven’t? You’ve barely started puberty and your head’s already full of this rubbish. No wonder you’re so weak.”

Xie Xie’s face soured. “How am I weak? Aren’t you just saying I don’t meet your standards?”

Indifference coated Yuanen Yehui’s words. “As long as you understand, then it’s fine. You don’t have to say it out loud.”

“You…” Xie Xie glared at her. “Then if one day I’m able to defeat you, marry me!”

Yuanen Yehui stopped in her steps. Bit by bit her neck turned, robotically, until her eyes were aligned with Xie Xie’s for a third time. Her lip twitched but she uttered not a word. Then she lurched forward and broke into a mad dash for her room.

Naturally, Xie Xie was not one bit discouraged, pumping his fist in the air. She didn’t say no! So if I become stronger than her, I’ll have a chance! Beating her though… The grin on his face that had just formed quickly melted away. That’s going to be hard. Both her martial souls are amazing. It’s not fair. I have twin martial souls too, but mine can’t compare! Damn it! I have to work harder! I have to defeat her!

Xie Xie’s thinking was on the right track. He had to show off his manly appeal for any hope of winning Yuanen Yehui’s heart.
