Chapter 651 - 0376 The Beginning of Encounter (Two-in-One)_2
"Hmm."
Xu Chang’an nodded helplessly.
Of course, it was obvious.
Ms. Zhu had just asked him what it meant for a young man to care about a woman, and then she asked him to deliver a message—
She was just short of directly telling him that Sikong Jing had asked about Liu Qingluo.
Or rather, she had already told him directly.
"..."
Ms. Zhu looked at Xu Chang’an and didn’t notice a single trace of discomfort on his face, then she felt that this was as it should be.
Someone proposed to Wen Li, and he didn’t care.
"Never mind, if you know, you know. There’s nothing shameful about it," Ms. Zhu stretched lazily, sat back down, and propped her face on her hand, looking at Xu Chang’an, "In any case... Qingluo is so beautiful, that boy Sikong Jing who hasn’t seen much of the world could very well like Qingluo, it’s not entirely impossible..."
But to be honest.
With Qingluo’s disposition, once she’s decided on something, it’s difficult for a man to say more than a few words to her, so there’s really no need to give special warnings.
However, regardless of what Sikong Jing is thinking, it’s never wrong to keep Liu Qingluo away from him. To be safe, it’s best to make things clear.
"You should keep this in mind, don’t forget, this matter is very important," Ms. Zhu thought for a moment, then said, "Qingluo’s talent is very good, even better than I imagined. We can’t let outsiders deceive her."
Hearing this, Xu Chang’an thought back to that pretty Wine Lady and nodded.
Is her talent extremely good?
That’s really a good thing.
"Congratulations, Ms. Zhu." Xu Chang’an smiled.
"I’m naturally happy if her talent is good," Ms. Zhu paused, spat, "Pft, anyway, as long as you remember..."
Xu Chang’an responded.
Ms. Zhu was silent for a while.
Even she noticed Xu Chang’an’s sincere happiness and didn’t know what to say.
"Chang’an, what do you think of Qingluo?"
She asked.
She originally thought Xu Chang’an wasn’t interested in other girls, but after learning that Liu Qingluo’s talent was very good, Xu Chang’an turned out to be happy for her... how could this be?
"?" Xu Chang’an shook his head and said seriously, "Is this strange?"
"A little bit."
"Miss Liu is your person," Xu Chang’an said simply.
"Is that all?" Ms. Zhu was skeptical.
"She’s also a hardworking person."
Under the premise of not doing anything evil, a hardworking, strong person may not necessarily deserve respect, but in any case, they shouldn’t be disparaged or insulted because of their effort.
That’s what Xu Chang’an thought.
After all, Liu Qingluo could be considered a neighbor.
Seeing a hardworking person get the reward they deserve, being happy for her is only natural.
Ms. Zhu: "..."
She stared dazedly for a while at the straightforward young man in front of her, not knowing what to say.
Indeed.
That’s why people find him likable.
Ms. Zhu’s heart skipped a beat as she watched for a while.
Pft.
How could she think he’s good?!
He’s really not good.
"No, I almost let you sway me." Ms. Zhu glared at Xu Chang’an.
This boy is not as upright as she thought, as evidenced by Yun Qian.
"You seem devoted, but isn’t it just because Miss Yun is too beautiful? If you ask me... the reason you like her is simply because you’re superficial."
Xu Chang’an: "???"
Sigh.
Ms. Zhu.
What are you thinking about all day?
Ms. Zhu looked up and saw Xu Chang’an’s helpless face, instantly gripping the hem of her clothes, her charming face tinged with a shy blush.
Though she didn’t know why, she just wanted the young man in front of her to be a little less "pure."
No justification required.
Perhaps Ms. Zhu still couldn’t comprehend how he could express genuine happiness for Qingluo with such clear eyes.
"Chang’an, do you dare say that you didn’t like Ms. Yun at first sight because she was beautiful?" Ms. Zhu stared intently at Xu Chang’an.
"Why wouldn’t I?" Xu Chang’an retorted.
Miss Yun is so beautiful, isn’t love at first sight only natural?
Ms. Zhu: "..."
Hiss.
He admitted it?
Admitted that he liked Yun Qian for her looks?
What kind of husband is this in the world?
——
Xu Chang’an watched as Ms. Zhu was stunned, wanting to say something, but everything ended up dissolving into the helplessness in his eyes.
He could probably guess what Ms. Zhu meant.
For example, liking appearances is wrong, one should say they like a girl’s inner qualities.
But... that’s not right either.
Just like he prefers affection over romantic passion, true feelings should emerge after time, with the couple understanding each other’s minds.
Real water has no fragrance.
True intentions only become clear through continuous interaction.
Meeting is fate.
If you don’t meet, how can you talk about what comes next?
Upon first meeting, whether liking a girl’s beauty or her family background, there is nothing shameful about either.
These are all the initial conditions that make someone want to know more.
After all, very few people are capable of bypassing these aspects to understand someone’s inner world.
"...So, are you saying you are superficial?" Ms. Zhu realized something.
"Perhaps," Xu Chang’an nodded.
Miss Yun is someone he couldn’t quit.
Ms. Zhu suddenly felt frustrated.
Because she happened to understand what Xu Chang’an meant now.
Like how the girls of the Flower Moon Building are so concerned with Xu Chang’an... besides initially thinking he looks quite good, it’s more because after getting closer and understanding his temperament, they like him even more.
"I... this..." Ms. Zhu pouted.
"Then you’re saying, because Qingluo is beautiful, it’s normal for Sikong Jing to glance at her more?"
"...???"
Xu Chang’an’s finger twitched.
That wasn’t what he meant.
Indeed, talking with girls is like this, when she’s upset, logic goes out the window, and she starts turning the tables.
"What’s there to be afraid of, it’s not like I could hit you," Ms. Zhu thought Xu Chang’an had a point.
At the time when she kept Qinling by her side, wasn’t it because the girl was cute?
And now, even if Qinling dresses to look old, she still likes her a lot.
By this point, appearances are no longer important.
Ms. Zhu could understand but still felt this side of herself was very wicked, being initially attracted by outward appearances.
But she was also relieved.
Thankfully, her Ah Bai is a very plain and simple girl.
Li Zhibai doesn’t have the ability to make people fall in love at first sight, so there is no element of beauty mixed into her feelings for Ah Bai...
Pft.
Ah Bai is the most beautiful, not plain at all.
"Ah Bai is the most beautiful... Ah Bai is the most beautiful..."
She mumbled, glaring fiercely at Xu Chang’an and then lowered her head.
Indeed.
The girls said he was like a mirror, very reasonable.
And she really liked mirrors as objects, it was true.
"..."
Xu Chang’an saw Ms. Zhu’s eyes turn from harsh to soft and felt a sudden chill down his spine... It’s really unsettling to be with a senior who has a strange mental state.
"Ms. Zhu, if there’s nothing else, then... should I head back to prepare?"
"What’s the rush, can I eat you?" Ms. Zhu glared at him, but seeing Xu Chang’an’s intention to leave, she got to the point and reminded him:
"Matters involving outsiders are fake; you have to be careful yourself. From now on, whenever you go out, no matter where... don’t use Spiritual Power to shield yourself from rain, even when you leave the Sect, understand?"
Wherever you go, take an umbrella. After all, he’s from Muyu Peak, and liking to use an umbrella won’t seem strange to anyone.
"Understood," Xu Chang’an smiled.
The senior really is like a nagging parent, reminding him repeatedly about small things, afraid he might forget.
"What do you mean ’Understood,’ remember it properly," Ms. Zhu spat, "It’s only here at my place... You didn’t think, did you, if someone saw you using Spiritual Power to shield from the rain just now, what would happen?"
She rambled on.
"If someone from the Chaoyun Sect saw it, fine. With the Sect Leader present... But if in the future you go on missions and someone from the Demon Sect sees it, don’t even think about having peace then."
That Qiankun Realm person from the Demon Sect, they can really do anything.
She warned Xu Chang’an.
"If she captures you by then, what will you do."
