Chapter 147: The Speaker Is Unintentional, the Listener Intentional
Lu Yichen wasn’t in a great mood. He and Stone had been standing not far from the crowd of onlookers, because they couldn’t hear very clearly from inside their yard what was being said outside, and he was worried that the little girl might be bullied.
So, they quietly positioned themselves behind, with the cornfields as their cover. Only when those people began to disperse did they retreat back into their own yard.
He had heard the young girl say she would only consider finding a partner after getting into university and that she wanted someone like-minded as her companion. Although there was nothing wrong with these statements, they still made him feel uncomfortable.
Stone saw the steamed dumplings and couldn’t help chuckling, "Sister Luo Qiao, I’m so happy right now. I’ve never eaten so many different kinds of food, and they’re all especially delicious.
The most important thing is having you and Brother Lu with me. It’d be great if we could always stay together like this."
Though the speaker meant no harm, the listener took it to heart. Suddenly, Lu Yichen understood why he had been so concerned about those words. He looked up at Luo Qiao as if he had thoroughly figured something out, and then his mood improved.
After taking a sip of the porridge, he picked up a dumpling and bit into it, "Mm, Stone is right, each dish is particularly delicious."
In his heart, he silently added, "We’ll never part from now on."
Finishing his meal in a good mood, his expression softened as he turned to Luo Qiao, "Be a bit more careful these next few days. Li Xiulan has suffered a big loss and is probably looking for a way to save face."
