Lu Family.
Lu Xiaobu is sleeping.
anwhile, in Liang Lan’s room, the four won are sitting here, without turning on the lights, but lighting a candle instead.
"Sister Lan, what are you calling us for in the middle of the night?!"
Qianmin lies on the table, asking groggily.
As for the Little Pepper, she’s been fighting a battle between her upper and lower eyelids for a long ti.
"Luo Xue, tell them about today’s situation," Liang Lan says, incredibly serious.
"Okay, Sister Lan." Su Luoxue nods and says, "Today, we accompanied the Young Master to Heaven and Earth, and the Young Master got involved with Black Rose."
"What!?"
Wu Qianmin instantly wakes up!
Little Pepper jumps three feet high: "That seductress?! I’m going to kill her!"
Why hold off for so long? Isn’t it just because no one wants to fall behind!
In the end, an outsider got ahead of them. It’s no wonder they’re upset!
"Sit down! Sit down! It’s not what you’re thinking, it was just with a hand!"
Liang Lan puts her hand to her forehead. This Su Luoxue!
"Oh! That’s a relief!"
The two won let out a sigh of relief and sit back down.
"However, we can’t let our guard down. I’ve realized Lin Feng is determined to push Black Rose towards the Young Master, otherwise he wouldn’t keep ddling like this." Liang Lan continues with great seriousness.
"So what do we do?!"
Their drowsiness has completely faded away.
"How about we hire an assassin to kill her!"
Little Pepper says, revealing her murderous intent.
"Don’t be rash! The opposite party is a mber of the four great families, doing that would only bring trouble for the Young Master!"
Liang Lan imdiately chastises out loud.
Solving the problem is one thing, but if they affect the Young Master in a mont of impulse, she won’t forgive anyone!
"I’m just saying!"
Little Pepper rolls her eyes and says, "Then what do you suggest?"
"It’s simple, there’s one way—let’s get ahead!"
Liang Lan bites her lip, feeling awkward saying such things.
"This!"
All four won fall silent simultaneously, their faces turning red, bodies feeling sowhat heated, even Little Pepper is no exception.
Yet, this silence also signifies consent to the idea!
A mont of silence.
"Alright! I’ll go first! I’ll go right now!"
Little Pepper jumps up to run outside.
She’s the bold type, once decided, there’s no turning back.
"No way!"
In an instant, the three won unanimously oppose!
Though they didn’t object initially, they never agreed to let Little Pepper go first!
"I was the first to follow the Young Master, I should go first!"
Liang Lan also takes a stand; if she doesn’t fight now, she might as well not live!
And don’t talk about monogamy or fair shares.
They’re not kids anymore.
When it cos to this issue, they’ve thought it through a long ti ago!
"Liang Lan, what are you talking about?"
Qianmin stands up and says.
She’s even dropped the honorifics; right now, she refuses to budge as well.
"But I’m Xiaobu’s childhood friend, when we were playing together, you didn’t even know where you were!"
This little girl Qianmin is incredibly assertive now!
"So what?! You were about to move away at that ti!" Liang Lan retorts imdiately: "Starting from then, I’m even earlier than you!"
Wu Qianmin mouths silently, unable to respond, because according to that, it’s indeed true!
"Hold on! Who agreed to use chronological order?!"
Little Pepper becos restless.
If it’s by ti, doesn’t that exclude her?!
Su Luoxue nods repeatedly on the side: "We can’t determine it by ti!"
"I’m the closest to Xiaobu, I’ve even served him!"
They’ve all let loose, and Little Pepper even more so.
"In what way? Nowhere else counts, Young Master Bu lies on my knee pillow every day!"
Liang Lan sneers, refusing to back down!
"Well, well, since you can’t resolve it, just let go first."
Su Luoxue says softly.
Her competitiveness seems the weakest!
"Go away! Stop acting cute! The Young Master isn’t here, acting cute won’t work!" Liang Lan says domineeringly!
Normally, except in front of the Young Master, she’s like a tyrant CEO!
At this mont, she’s even more aggressive!
However, the strong have their thods and the weak have alliances!
"No way! You definitely can’t be the first!" Little Pepper imdiately says.
"That’s right! You can’t be the first!" Wu Qianmin follows right behind.
Su Luoxue also nods along.
"Hey! You three have ganged up!" Liang Lan chuckles angrily, looking at Su Luoxue: "Support , and I’ll let you be second!"
"No! I want to be first!"
Su Luoxue bites her lip, her face blushing, shaking her head.
"What are we going to do?!"
Liang Lan exhales a long sigh of frustration.
"Hmm!"
Little Pepper says nothing, sitting back down.
Wu Qianmin also sits back down, speechless.
Su Luoxue is even more silent!
Silence once again envelops the room!
This situation is why they’ve been dragging it out for so long!
If it weren’t for an outsider showing up, no doubt, they would’ve dragged it on longer!
Ti ticks away as the four won ponder a fair solution that could slightly favor them individually.
But realistically, what are the chances!
It must be absolute fairness; any partiality ans it’s impossible to resolve!
Finally.
"Ugh!" Liang Lan sighs deeply, turning to them: "How about we stop monitoring each other in pairs from today onwards, and accompanying the Young Master one by one. Whoever has good luck decides the outco?"
Upon hearing this proposal, the remaining three won think it over; it seems sowhat fair.
After all, with no interference, it’s all up to individual prowess!
"What about the order?!"
Little Pepper raises the key issue.
Everyone knows, although it’s about skill, those ahead clearly have an advantage.
After all, everyone knows Xiaobu is no easy catch!
Seize the opportunity, won’t you climb?!
"Coin toss."
Liang Lan reluctantly says.
In truth, she really didn’t want to suggest this plan.
Ultimately, she prefers controlling everything, not leaving things to luck.
The remaining three won exchange glances and all nod: "Alright, let’s do the coin toss!"
"Alright then."
Liang Lan takes out a coin, lets them inspect it, and once everyone confirms there are no issues: "Let’s start betting. I choose heads."
Little Pepper: "Then I’ll choose tails."
Wu Qianmin: "I choose tails too."
Su Luoxue: "Then I’ll choose heads."
"Okay, it’s settled!" Liang Lan takes a breath, extrely anxious.
Heavenly Gods and Buddhas above, if it works out, she’ll offer prayers!
The remaining three won feel the sa.
Evidently, at this mont, all they can do is pray!
"Swish!"
Liang Lan tosses the coin into the air.
Four pairs of beautiful eyes, eight gazing beams, under the dim candlelight, intensely focus on that coin!
Heads or tails?!
