Lu Shuangyue’s words made Orange Bear’s heart feel as if it were being twisted by a knife.
My best sister... my best friend... has betrayed , was the only thought running through Orange Bear’s mind.
They had promised to work overti together, all through the night. But now, he had been abandoned, left to work overti all alone. It was truly heartbreaking.
And so, under Orange Bear’s grief-stricken gaze, the group left the office, went downstairs, got into a car, and drove away.
Just as they left, a heart-wrenching scream echoed from inside the building.
"No— Er... cough, no! Shuangyue!"
While driving, Liu Ergou seed to sense sothing and turned his head to look back at Orange Bear’s company building.
He then asked with so concern, "Hey, is it really okay for us to just leave like this, leaving Orange all alone at the company? I have a bad feeling about this!"
Hearing Liu Ergou’s words, Lu Shuangyue replied without even looking up, "Oh, it’s fine, it’s fine. You have important business to attend to. Orange will understand!"
"Besides," she continued, "you’ve been here for almost a week, and Orange has just been slacking off the whole ti. With you gone, it’ll force him to get his act together. We still have the second livestream, you know!"
"And the second livestream is much more important than the first!"
Since Lu Shuangyue had spoken, Liu Ergou didn’t press the matter further. Instead, he focused on driving straight toward Fengzhu Village.
Once they were out of the city, Liu Ergou pushed the accelerator to the floor. The car shot forward, moving so fast it left nothing but a phantom trail in its wake.
Thanks to this terrifying speed, Liu Ergou’s group finally arrived back in Fengzhu Village by nightfall.
Upon reaching the village, Liu Ergou headed straight for his ho.
Standing at his own doorstep, Liu Ergou said to Lu Shuangyue and Ning Hua, "Um, if I’m not mistaken, this is the first ti both of you have been to my ho. My family is pretty ordinary. The living conditions might not be great, and the food isn’t anything special, so you’ll have to bear with it. Please don’t look down on the place."
"I’ll try to learn as much as possible during the special training so we can get back sooner!"
Ning Hua just waved it off. "No worries! As long as we’re not eating chaff and have a roof over our heads, I’m fine. Besides, during the Flying Swallow Sect’s hardest tis, we couldn’t even afford als and had to live in a basent. I don’t care about this stuff, especially since a village is a huge step up from a basent!"
Ning Hua’s words made Liu Ergou break out in a cold sweat. It seems I’ve boarded a pirate ship, and the kind that could capsize at any mont. How did the Flying Swallow Sect fall on such hard tis that they couldn’t even afford to eat? He felt his future was bleak.
Lu Shuangyue, however, looked excited after hearing Liu Ergou’s warning.
"I’ve never lived in a place like this before! I’ve always been so curious!" she exclaid. "Now I finally have the chance!"
Before Liu Ergou could say another word, she reached out and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened. Xu Yulan looked at Lu Shuangyue standing on the doorstep, a puzzled expression on her face.
"Hello, may I ask who you’re looking for?" Xu Yulan asked.
Just then, Liu Ergou stepped out from behind them and gave Xu Yulan a big hug.
"Sister-in-law!"
Xu Yulan was startled by Liu Ergou’s sudden appearance, but she quickly recovered, hugging him back just as tightly.
"Er Gou, you’re back!" Xu Yulan said happily. "You’ve been gone for so long this ti, nearly a week. It’s the longest you’ve ever been away!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou smiled sheepishly. "HEH HEH HEH, there was so business in the city, so it took a bit longer. See? I ca back the mont I was finished."
With that, Liu Ergou pulled Lu Shuangyue in front of him. "Sister-in-law, look, this is my girlfriend, Lu Shuangyue." Then he pointed to Ning Hua. "And her... well, she’s just a regular friend of mine."
Xu Yulan nodded, then stepped aside to let them in. "Co on, it’s so late. Let’s talk inside. Have you eaten? If not, I can go make sothing."
Liu Ergou and the others weren’t hungry yet, so they declined.
After they declined, Xu Yulan hurried off, which puzzled Liu Ergou. His sister-in-law wasn’t usually in such a rush. Driven by curiosity, he excused himself to Lu Shuangyue and followed her.
He watched as Xu Yulan went to her room and opened the door. As soon as she did, a cloud of steam billowed out.
So, she was taking a bath. No wonder she was in a hurry!
Watching his sister-in-law’s back, Liu Ergou couldn’t help but chuckle. I haven’t been ho for almost a week, and I’ve really missed her. And she just happens to be taking a bath... This is a godsend!
Without a mont’s hesitation, Liu Ergou quickly approached the door, slipped through a small crack, and crept inside.
Xu Yulan, anwhile, was completely oblivious.
She had just taken off her clothes and was cupping so water to pour over herself when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. Before she could turn around, a strong, coarse hand pulled her into an embrace.
Instantly, a scorching heat enveloped her.
This gave Xu Yulan a terrible fright.
"AHHH...!"
Just as she scread, Liu Ergou clamped a hand over her mouth and whispered in her ear, "Sister-in-law, it’s ! Don’t scream!"
Hearing Liu Ergou’s voice, Xu Yulan let out a long sigh of relief. Then, she shot him a sharp glare.
"Er Gou, what are you doing?!" she scolded. "You scared to death! I thought soone had snuck in!"
Liu Ergou was amused by her words. "HAHAHA, sister-in-law, who else would it be but ? I’ve been gone for a week and missed you so much, so..."
Hearing Liu Ergou’s words, a wave of sweetness washed over Xu Yulan’s heart. Sure enough, I hold an irreplaceable place in Er Gou’s heart.
But the next second, she ca to her senses. Wait, Er Gou brought his girlfriend ho... If his girlfriend were to walk in right now...
