Chapter 48

Looking at Song Luokui's somewhat sincere apology, Chi Yu forgave her, and the two continued their sparring session - or rather, Chi Yu was teaching her how to fight.

After an hour of instruction, Chi Yu checked the time: "Are you hungry?"Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Song Luokui rubbed her stomach, realizing she was indeed a little hungry since she had come straight from school without eating.

Chi Yu picked up his jacket, "Let's go eat."

Song Luokui followed for a couple of steps then stopped abruptly, recognizing this familiar start... why was it always about eating?

Chi Yu turned around when she didn't follow: "Not eating? Should I drop you back at school then?"

Song Luokui sighed, since they'd already sparred, eating was inevitable.

Song Luokui: "Let's eat, let's go." She walked ahead of him.

Chi Yu watched her back with a hint of a smile.

They went to a new place to eat, a private banquet room, where dish after dish was ordered until the table was full. Song Luokui blinked at the array of food and looked at Chi Yu, unable to resist asking, "Why did you order so much?"

Chi Yu: "I was wondering if you didn't like the food from before, so I changed the restaurant this time and ordered more dishes for you to choose what you want to eat."

Chi Yu: "Oh, and you returned everything to me, but I still have your things, so it's me who owes you. Let me treat you from now on."

Chi Yu: "Just the watch you gave me alone, I could treat you for a year."

Song Luokui: ...

Song Luokui put down her chopsticks and held her head, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Chi Yu suddenly looked at her seriously, "Don't avoid me anymore."

Song Luokui: "That's impossible, if you call out to me at school others will find out, and there's my brother..."

Chi Yu: "I know, I won't call out to you in public, and I won't let your brother know either. We can keep it like before."

Song Luokui: "Before?"

Chi Yu: "Before when we ate together, your brother didn't know."

Song Luokui hesitated: "But... my brother..."

Chi Yu: "Your brother and I are just business competitors, we're from the same circles. I won't harm him. And he's him, you're you. By being friends with me, couldn't you feed him inside information?"

Song Luokui felt that made some sense: "Really?"

Chi Yu: "Really."

Song Luokui: "I'm afraid you'll trick me and break my heart, and it'll end up hurting my brother..."

Song Luokui's ears instantly turned red. She glared at Chi Yu and switched to a new pair of chopsticks to eat.

Her glare had no intimidating effect at all, her eyes just looked moist and attractive. Chi Yu only felt a slight tingle, but since she had gotten angry when he poked her cheek before, he didn't want to offend her again in case she refused his offer.

Even though she hadn't agreed yet, Chi Yu felt it was only a matter of time.

After the meal, Chi Yu dropped Song Luokui off at home and handed her a pile of things as she was getting out of the car.

Song Luokui: ?

Chi Yu: "These are the things you sent back to me before. Now that we're friends, shouldn't you take them back?"

Song Luokui gritted her teeth: "Not yet!"

Chi Yu: "You don't want them? I'll ask again tomorrow then."

Song Luokui was afraid of him now, "I want them, I want them." She didn't want to bring them back openly though, so she got back in the car, "Just drop me off a little way from my home, and keep an eye out. If you see any of my family, remind me so they don't find out, okay?"

"Got it."

Chi Yu dropped Song Luokui off near her home, and she looked around furtively, "Is anyone out there?"

Chi Yu: "No one."

Song Luokui: "Okay, I'm going then. Bye bye."

"Mm."

Song Luokui darted back home like a little mouse with her bagful of things.

Chi Yu watched until she got inside, then drove back to his own home.

Aunt Gui watched as Song Luokui returned with a large bag of things that seemed vaguely familiar - weren't those the items the young miss had sent out before?

Aunt Gui: "Young Miss."

Song Luokui: "Haha, a friend gave them to me. I'll be going to my room, Aunt Gui."

Song Luokui hurried upstairs and stuffed the things into her wardrobe.

That night, Song Luokui had a dream where she obtained a lot of information from Chi Yu and passed it to her brother. With this divine assistance, her brother was able to utterly defeat Chi Yu and reach the pinnacle of success. As her brother's sister, of course Song Luokui was also basking in glory!

Many people congratulated her enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, Chi Yu knelt on the ground begging her for mercy. Hahahahaha!

Song Luokui woke up laughing. She opened the curtains to a beautiful day and sent Chi Yu a message: "Good morning, my friend."

Chi Yu had just finished showering and was getting dressed when he saw the message and smiled.
