Chapter 138: The teasing
Ru Shuang couldn’t help but secretly giggled as she whispered into Le Yao Yao’s ear.
“Brother Yao, you’re so amazing! You managed to get rid of the man!”
“Hehe. Of course! Your brother Yao is very intelligent!”
Le Yao Yao openly accepted Ru Shuang’s flattery and even praised herself.
If it were anyone else, it would come off as very narcissistic. But when it came from Le Yao Yao’s mouth, it just sounded cute.
Combined with her sneaky expression, Le Yao Yao looked like a little fox who had gobbled down the farmer’s chicken. So crafty!
Seeing this, Ru Shuang smiled bigger. The way she gazed at Le Yao Yao deepened.
As for the two on the bamboo stage, they naturally witnessed the entire process.

Dongfang Bai was continuously waving the flag and conducting the team. Although his movements were very elegant and graceful, it didn’t affect his masculinity at all.
Today, the Sun bathe all things and there weren’t any clouds for thousands of miles. In addition, there was a gentle breeze travelling back and forth; creating a ripple on the clear, green jade river.
It was a gorgeous sight that made others sigh. But as long as the man in white was around, everything else becomes the background.
The strong wind from the river lifted his long sleeves and long, black hair. Currently, he looked like a Daoist immortal that was able to ascend to Heaven.
The white dragon boat sped ahead as fast as lightning and overcame all the other dragon boats and won first place.
It wasn’t until then that Le Yao Yao finally realized what had happened and cheered enthusiastically along with the crowd.
“Wow! Brother Bai is so awesome! Brother Bai is so awesome!”
Perhaps Dongfang Bai heard Le Yao Yao or sensed his presence, he suddenly turned his face and stared at Le Yao Yao’s direction.
All of a sudden, the two made eye contact and smiled warmly at each other.
But all this was witnessed by someone else. His face instantly darkened…

Every year, the city would host a dragon boat event. The first place winners would all be invited to the Capital’s best Ruyi tavern to have a meal. This year was no exception.
Since Dongfang Bai noticed Le Yao Yao earlier during the afternoon, after he got off the boat, he invited Le Yao Yao and Ru Shuang to eat with them.
Obviously, Le Yao Yao wasn’t going to reject Dongfang Bai’s kind invitation. But when she arrived at the Ruyi tavern with Dongfang Bai and Ru Shuang, she was surprised to see that the King of Hell and Nangong Jun Xi were also present.
But at this moment, the King of Hell was quietly drinking on one corner. Most likely, he hadn’t seen her. So, Le Yao Yao frowned and randomly sat on another table with Ru Shuang. Then, she looked around her surroundings.
This was Ruyi tavern’s second floor. Since Ruyi tavern was the best tavern in the whole Capital, the interior was very extravagantly designed. In addition, the surface area was wide. Four huge round tables could fit.
But since Le Yao Yao wanted to avoid contact with the King of Hell, she rejected Dongfang Bai’s offer when he suggested them to sit with the King of Hell.
“Brother Bai, Ru Shuang and I will sit here.”
“Alright. Up to you.”
Hearing Le Yao Yao’s words, Dongfang Bai assumed that Le Yao Yao didn’t want to sit next to Leng Jun Yu because of status reasons, so he didn’t want to push him. So after chatting at Le Yao Yao’s table for a bit, he went to sit with Leng Jun Yu.
However, since Dongfang Bai purposely sat at Le Yao Yao’s table, everyone else knew that Le Yao Yao was a friend of Dongfang Bai’s. So, they were now very friendly towards Le Yao Yao and Ru Shuang.
Due to Le Yao Yao’s easygoing and fun personality, she easily mingled with the first place dragon boat participants.
Soon, the dishes had arrived.
There were twenty dishes and one huge bowl of soup.
There were exotic delicacies, and plentiful fish and meat to go around.
But because everyone was tired from the race, they were starving to death.
So, everyone grabbed their chopsticks and began to eat and drink huge gulps.
In terms of their barbaric table manners, Le Yao Yao was also on similar levels.
She began to quickly and continuously load Ru Shuang’s bowl with items.
Because, in Le Yao Yao’s opinion, Ru Shuang was way too ladylike. If she ate so slowly and elegantly with this group of people, she will only have vegetables and soup left.
“Ru Shuang, are you hungry? Hurry and eat!”
“Yes, brother Yao. You eat too!”
Seeing how Le Yao Yao was so considerate to pick items for her, Ru Shuang’s cheeks turned pink. Deep down, she felt a sweetness overdose. Then, she also picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of a simmer-fried fish in Le Yao Yao’s bowl.
Since the dragon boat racers had never met Le Yao Yao or Ru Shuang before, they weren’t aware that Le Yao Yao was Prince Rui’s eunuch. So when they saw how the two were helping each other pick out food items, there were many envious and jealous gazes.
Additionally, because most people were slightly intoxicated, their words were much more direct than usual.
“Brother Yao, is that your lover next to you?” slurred a buffed man. Perhaps it was due to the alcohol, his face was currently as red as a tomato.
Others began to chirp in. “I’m 80% sure it is! Just look at them. They’re such a good looking couple. They were made to be together. Ohhhh, I’m so envious!”
“Haha! Brother Yao, you better not forget the bro code! When you get married, you better invite us. Understand?!”
“That’s right!!!”
“Umm.. guys. Don’t misunderstand. Ru Shuang is my little sister!” (tl: don’t take it literally)
“Ohhh….sister, ehhhhhhh?!?!”
Clearly, the racers didn’t believe her. They were stretching their tones extra long.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao was speechless and only smiled in response. As for Ru Shuang, her face was turning red from all the teasing. So, she began to lean towards Le Yao Yao for support.
This is what you get for stealing my work.
For such a move as frost, Le Yaoyao only when she is shy. After all, is a flower-like girl home, when Han was so banter over.
However, this scene falls on everyone’s eyes, but the meaning is different.
We have one after another exchanged a well-known appearance, it is implemented, Le Yaoyao with frost is a pair.
In this regard, Le Yaoyao no more quibbling what, only when we are all right to find them funny it!
However, she did not speak quibbling, falling in the eyes of someone, but became acquiesced.
Damn it!
He is obviously his own, is not it?
Relative to Leng Junyu heart anger and resentment, sitting next to him Jun Gong Hee, for constantly there to coax noise, but also a variety of not taste.
Pick up a steamed ribs ate, then, you see the palace Junxi tone sour said.
“This little pig, really restless!”
Clear net body, and actually come up with a sweetheart, damn!
Difficult to ‘he’ the net is not thorough enough! ?
Immediately, she picked up a white broiler and picked up chopsticks.
However, he only took a sip and saw him angrily angrily.
“How come today’s dishes are sour, hard to become white kitchen vinegar sauce to use !?
Lol wow. How did google translate get Canada? Ahahaha. Read on theeunuch.com or take this, you thieves!

In regards to Ru Shuang’s actions, Le Yao Yao assumed she was just being shy. After all, she was as delicate as a flower and jade. She had probably never experienced any teasing.
But in everyone else’s eyes, it had a different meaning.
Everyone were exchanging a “I thought so” look with each other. They were certain that Le Yao Yao and Ru Shuang were a couple.
Le Yao Yao didn’t try to deny it anymore. She assumed people were just teasing for fun.
But since Le Yao Yao was no longer denying, to Leng Jun Yu, it meant he had agreed by default.
So, the King of Hell tightened the grip on his cup.
Honestly, he had noticed Le Yao Yao the moment he had arrived.
He just didn’t “look” at him.
Because he was still mad about what had happened in the afternoon. When he saw how Le Yao Yao and Dongfang Bai had exchanged an intense eye contact with each other, it pained his eyes!
Also, “he” held onto another woman’s hand and took such good care of her. It made him super jealous.
It was as if an enormous rock was squishing his heart. So uncomfortable!
That damn eunuch! He really knew how to lure bees and butterflies!
Not only does he attract eunuchs, his junior bro, a woman from a brothel, and now… even Dongfang Bai!
Damn him!
“He” clearly was his….!
As for Nangong Jun Xi who was sitting next to him, he was also very annoyed.
He picked up a piece of steamed spare ribs and took a bite as he sourly exclaimed, “This Xiao Zhu Zi is so unsettled!”
He already lost his family jewel, yet he still has a lover? What the heck?
Could it be that his jewel hadn’t been thoroughly chopped?
Then, Nangong Jun Xi picked up a piece of white luminous chicken.
But after taking a bite, he began to rage.
“Why do all the dishes taste sour today!? Did the kitchen use vinegar instead of soya sauce?!”
