Chapter 1339 - 1327: Talented Lady Xianling (Part 3)
After finishing the food, the three of them drank tea for a while. Chu Xianling proactively said: "Mr. Song, I heard from Yushi that you are a Kung Fu master. Xianling has always admired that. I wonder if you could give me some pointers?"
Song Xiaodong stood up directly and said: "I wouldn't dare to instruct, but I was thinking of sparring with Miss Xianling."
The three of them left the small house, not going forward but heading back, where there was surprisingly a suspension bridge leading to another small island.
Chu Xianling gestured and said: "Please, Mr. Song, this is my private area; no outsiders are allowed, so no one will disturb us." Then she jumped onto the suspension bridge first.
Just as Song Xiaodong was about to follow, Yang Yushi quickly said: "Don't leave me behind, hold onto me."
Song Xiaodong had to stop; Yang Yushi had already extended her hand, saying: "This bridge is quite shaky, I'm scared."
Song Xiaodong held Yang Yushi's hand and said: "Be careful."
"With you here, do I still need to be careful? You won't throw me into the water, will you?" Yang Yushi showed a sweet smile and then stepped onto the suspension bridge with Song Xiaodong.
When Chu Xianling stepped onto the bridge, it didn't shake at all; the same happened when Song Xiaodong got on, but as soon as Yang Yushi set foot on the bridge, it began to sway continuously.
Song Xiaodong held Yang Yushi's hand, but his gaze was directed at Chu Xianling ahead.
Chu Xianling continued to walk leisurely on the bridge, completely unaffected, and peculiarly, Song Xiaodong felt as if Chu Xianling had become one with the bridge, as if she was a part of it; thus no matter how it swayed, it didn't affect her.
This feeling was truly wonderful for Song Xiaodong, and he couldn't quite understand why he had such a sensation.
"Hey, that's not nice, you're holding my hand but thinking about Xianling."
Song Xiaodong felt a twinge in his arm as Yang Yushi's voice rang in his ear.
Song Xiaodong instinctively turned his head, nearly brushing Yang Yushi's face, not expecting her to say this while leaning by his ear.
Yang Yushi was also startled, hurriedly leaning back, causing both to avoid a close encounter.
But in doing so, she lost her balance even more, almost leaning out of the bridge.
Song Xiaodong quickly reached out to embrace her waist, bringing her back to safety, softly saying: "Be careful."
"It was you who scared me—you almost... kissed me!" Yang Yushi's eyes flickered, and her face blushed.
Song Xiaodong was a bit embarrassed and said: "Sorry, I was a bit absent-minded just now."
Yang Yushi said teasingly: "Patriarch Song, I kind of regret bringing you to meet Xianling now."
"Why?" Song Xiaodong asked, knowing full well the answer.
"Hmph, I offered to marry you, yet you've been evasive. Now seeing Xianling, your spirit is practically drawn to her. Do you think I shouldn't regret it?"
Song Xiaodong looked at Yang Yushi, then smiled and said: "Yushi, you're a brilliant woman on par with Xianling, why do you sound like a little girl full of grievances? Isn't that a bit too fake?"
Yang Yushi met Song Xiaodong's gaze, then pouted and said: "Don't you know that when a woman falls for someone, her IQ plummets to the negatives?"
Song Xiaodong didn't believe Yang Yushi was genuinely like this, as she was a strong investor not easily swayed by emotions. That just wasn't Yang Yushi, so he was sure she was intentionally acting this way.
"Well, I'll consider myself honored. Let's go." Song Xiaodong held onto Yang Yushi's waist and didn't let go, accompanying her forward.
Song Xiaodong didn't continue the topic but still held her waist, which made Yang Yushi lose her composure.
She was indeed interested in Song Xiaodong, but not nearly as much as she was showing now. It was a unique reason within her, but Song Xiaodong's behavior was beyond her expectations.
This made Yang Yushi even more interested in Song Xiaodong; this man was truly different, not someone easily manipulated.
The three of them slowly crossed the suspension bridge, and Song Xiaodong released Yang Yushi's waist.
Yang Yushi felt an inexplicable sense of loss, as being held by Song Xiaodong was indeed an enjoyable experience.
However, she was no ordinary person and merely smiled slightly, adjusting her mindset.
This small island was even smaller, only about two to three hundred square meters in area.
The surroundings were planted with trees, but inside was a very spacious clearing, with a few streetlights around it, though the light was not bright, making the place appear quite dark and mysterious.
"This place is truly a great spot for practicing Kung Fu." Sensing the fresh air, Song Xiaodong couldn't help but praise.
Chu Xianling turned around and stood still, giving Song Xiaodong a slight smile, saying: "Xianling likes quiet places; no one bothers us here."
Song Xiaodong nodded and said: "This is indeed a perfect place to find peace amidst the chaos. It's enviable to have such a place to practice Kung Fu, Miss Xianling."
Chu Xianling said gently: "Then please enlighten me, Mr. Song."
