"Ni Zi, what does it feel like to be attracted to soone?" Ms. Zhu asked.
Miss Lu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then lowered her head, "Why is Sister asking such a question..."
As she spoke, she suddenly realized sothing and looked up abruptly, "Sister, have you fallen for Young Master Xu?"
"No, what are you talking about?" Ms. Zhu waved her hands repeatedly, "I don’t even know what it feels like to be attracted to soone."
In short, if her feelings for Li Zhibai were considered attraction, Ms. Zhu could confirm that her feelings for Xu Chang’an were not quite the sa as those for Li Zhibai, so it probably wasn’t attraction.
"Tell about it." Ms. Zhu pressed on.
"..." Miss Lu was silent for a while, covering her chest with one hand, feeling her heartbeat.
At the sa ti, the faint sweetness on her lips revealed the candied fruit the woman in front of her had eaten.
She said, "Sister, supposedly, being attracted ans your heart is moved, different from its usual rhythm, either too fast or too slow."
"What nonsense." Ms. Zhu twitched her lips twice, "Be serious."
"Oh." Miss Lu nodded, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "If you like soone, your heart must beat faster, like the feeling after entering Flower Moon Building and learning a dance but being arranged by Auntie to perform on stage, heart beating too fast, shy and scared, excited yet uneasy..."
She paused for a mont.
Then said, "Besides, the feeling of attraction also includes wanting to possess while wanting to restrain, always seeking balance."
"Possess... restrain?" Ms. Zhu blinked, thinking she seed to understand sowhat.
Qinling always wanted to "possess" her, but that Qin’Er did not know how to write the word ’restraint’.
Yet Ms. Zhu found it strange because if the standards of Qinling’s attraction applied, then... what about her feelings for Li Zhibai?
Ms. Zhu liked Li Zhibai but never thought of possessing anything.
Could it be... she wasn’t really attracted to Ah Bai?
And what about that Xu the kid? Could it be because she wanted a young person to be her junior?
Ms. Zhu pondered deeply while Miss Lu stole a glance at her, keeping her head down, "Ms. Zhu, regarding attraction, I prefer the idea of restraint. The true feeling of attraction is when the heart is unmistakably chaotic but still pretends to be calm on the surface, afraid of doing sothing improper to make the one they like dislike them."
After she finished speaking, she said nothing more.
"So that’s it." Ms. Zhu patted Miss Lu’s shoulder with emotion, "This little girl has grown up... to analyze things so thoroughly, have you fallen for soone?"
"Maybe." Miss Lu turned her head away.
So things can’t be hidden from people.
Feelings of affection will overflow even if you cover her mouth.
Ms. Zhu certainly wasn’t a fool.
"A lesson from the past?" Ms. Zhu suddenly interjected.
Miss Lu instinctively said, "Consider it three tis yourself."
A lesson from the past, consider it three tis yourself.
"It’s a teacher for the future." Ms. Zhu covered her face helplessly, "Ni Zi, is Qin’Er your past lesson?"
At this mont, Ms. Zhu suddenly realized what Xu Chang’an’s expression ant when he ntioned Lu’Er.
Xu Chang’an, indeed a ticulous person, could sense Miss Lu’s not-so-simple feelings toward her after only a few etings.
"Ms. Zhu, what are you saying... oh well, you’ve found out, I like you."
The imagined flustered sha of Miss Lu having her feelings exposed didn’t appear. She openly hugged Ms. Zhu, wrapping her arms around her waist, "I do really like you, Sister, and I’m quite moved, but that Miss Qin you ntioned is different from ."
"Indeed, she doesn’t have your straightforwardness." Ms. Zhu sighed, "So then, are you going to be a Rebellious Daughter like Qin’Er... can you avoid causing trouble?"
"There are many girls in Flower Moon Building who like you, why can’t I?"
Miss Lu clasped Ms. Zhu’s waist, feeling she didn’t intend to break free, smiling happily, "Besides, since you’re not pushing away, you clearly know everything."
"Such impudence." Ms. Zhu patted Miss Lu’s waist, indicating for her to let go.
Reluctantly releasing her hands, Miss Lu shook her head, "Ms. Zhu, I am different from Miss Qin, I have my reasons."
"What reason."
"I am your maid in Flower Moon Building, also the Chief Manager. The only girl I can take a liking to is you, so... it’s only natural that I’m attracted to you."
But she’s different from Qinling; her affection is subtle and unobtrusive, unlike Qinling’s entanglent, so even if Ms. Zhu discovered it, she just smiled it off.
"I have no choice but to like you." Miss Lu pretended to be disappointed, then pointed in the direction Xu Chang’an had left, "I also like Young Master Xu, even more than I like you."
Saying so, she pointed to the sky.
"If I go to the Immortal Sect and et other girls stronger than ... whether I’d still like you will be uncertain." Miss Lu sighed, "In this regard, that daughter you took in early... after joining the Immortal Sect, she still has deep affection for you; she’s indeed remarkable."
"Go away." Ms. Zhu couldn’t help but feel a headache at the ntion of Qinling.
However, she also smiled.
As Miss Lu said, many liked her in Flower Moon Building, as long as they didn’t intend to knock her over like Qinling did from the beginning, they were not a problem in her eyes.
