Chapter 1341 - 1330: Mutual Reservations
Pa!
The two exchanged a palm strike, simultaneously taking a step back, and then neither made another move, just quietly staring at each other.
Chu Xianling said, "Mr. Song, Xianling hasn't encountered such a worthy opponent in a long time, I feel honored."
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Miss Xianling, meeting an opponent like you, I also feel honored."
"So let's call it a day, what do you think?"
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "If we continue, it'll just be a draw, I don't see the point in continuing."
Chu Xianling smiled slightly again and then walked together over to Yang Yushi.
Yang Yushi had already stood up, the duel just now was too intense, she was on edge and couldn't sit still.
"Was it a draw?" Yang Yushi asked curiously.
Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling both nodded.
Yang Yushi said proudly, "Ha... Xianling, you finally met your match, I didn't introduce you wrongly, did I?"
Chu Xianling smiled and said, "Yes, thank you." Then she turned to Song Xiaodong and said, "Mr. Song, I hope we can spar more often in the future, and when you visit Beijing, make sure to seek out Xianling."
Song Xiaodong immediately said politely, "Of course, and when you visit Ningjian Province, Miss Xianling, do stay at my home for a few days, so we can have a nice chat."
Yang Yushi smiled knowingly and said, "I say, Xiaodong, inviting a girl to your home like this, do you have any unkind intentions?"
Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, "Even if I had such intentions, I need to have the skills to match."
Yang Yushi immediately said, "Ah, you really have such intentions?"
Song Xiaodong said with a smile, "Of course I was joking, Xianling is like a fairy come down to earth, how dare I have such blasphemous thoughts as a mere mortal."
Chu Xianling smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Song is joking, I'm just an ordinary person."
The three walked back across the suspension bridge, Yang Yushi still holding Song Xiaodong's hand, following behind Chu Xianling.
Watching Chu Xianling again have that kind of feeling of merging with the bridge, Song Xiaodong suddenly remembered that during the duel, he didn't have that feeling, this was definitely Chu Xianling holding back.
She not only held back her True Qi but also retained some special abilities, just like he hadn't used his Perception Ability.
"Xiaodong, is it really okay for you to stare at Xianling like that?" Yang Yushi's voice sounded again in Song Xiaodong's ear.
Song Xiaodong turned his head, this time being careful not to get too close to Yang Yushi's face, and said, "I say, Yushi, you act so casual around me, what intentions do you have?"
"Isn't it normal for me to be casual with you, we're so familiar."
"Are we really that familiar?" Song Xiaodong said with a bitter smile looking at Yang Yushi, they've only met a few times have they not?
"You've seen my body, and even... there, haven't you? Aren't we familiar?" Yang Yushi said with a blush rising on her face.
Chu Xianling's step paused for a moment ahead, that feeling of merging with the suspension bridge was broken, but soon returned to normal, continuing to walk.
Song Xiaodong's face darkened and said, "That was for treating an illness."
Yang Yushi's face was still smiling as she said, "Regardless of whether it was for treating an illness, to a girl that's pushing the limit, think about it, if my future husband knew I've been seen by you like that, could he handle it?"
"So, are you saying if a woman goes to the hospital for a gynecological exam and the doctor is male, she should marry him?"
"If the gynecological doctor at the hospital is male, I can refuse. But I couldn't refuse you treating me back then, so who else should bear this burden?"
Song Xiaodong said with a grin, "Many would gladly bear this burden."
Yang Yushi smiled and said, "But I don't like letting others bear it, I want you to."
Song Xiaodong felt speechless, looking at Chu Xianling ahead, his mind suddenly brightened, realizing why Yang Yushi was acting like this today.
It's likely that Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling aren't truly heart-to-heart friends, their relationship not only has reservations but probably also involves some differences in interest, which is unavoidable among such families.
And Yang Yushi's intentional behavior was likely targeting Chu Xianling for some special purpose, even if he wasn't clear on that purpose, there certainly was one.
"I say, Yushi..." Song Xiaodong suddenly turned his head, bringing his mouth close to her ear and said, "It's a bit bad for you to use me like this, isn't it?"
Yang Yushi wasn't flustered at all now, but turned to face Song Xiaodong's gaze, saying softly, "You just realized?"
Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "I feel like I'm at a loss because of you."
"What do you feel at a loss for? How about marrying me, then wouldn't you feel less at a loss?" Yang Yushi squinted her eyes, her gaze unexpectedly carrying a hint of flirtation.
Song Xiaodong now found himself unable to fathom Yang Yushi, sometimes she's aloof, sometimes she's cunning, the main thing is, everything she does is always beyond Song Xiaodong's expectations.
Being led by the nose—made Song Xiaodong feel somewhat irritated, his eyes narrowed for a moment, then suddenly reached out to wrap Yang Yushi's waist, whispering, "Don't you know I'm a lustful person? Aren't you afraid of falling into a trap?"
