WHAT Su Yuqi said caught Luo Yan's attention. "You know their captain personally, Sister Yuqi?"
"Yeah. He's a student of my father," Su Yuqi answered. "Like so sort of disciple."
From what Luo Yan rembered, Su Yuqi's father was like a national level artist. If the captain of team Fenghuang was his disciple, then the other must also be a painter of so sort.
"He's not only Uncle Su's disciple, I heard the elders of the Su family are pushing for marriage between him and Su Yuqi," Bai Ze suddenly added.
Everyone, except Shen Ji Yun, turned to Bai Ze after his comnt. Their faces displayed a range of reactions. Su Yuqi glared at him with obvious displeasure, while Luo Yan looked mildly shocked. Luo Jin, on the other hand, appeared completely drained, as if the life had been sucked out of him.
"Are you going to marry soone, Pink Sister?" Eclipse suddenly asked.
His question struck Luo Jin like a nail to the heart, leaving him feeling even more crushed and defeated.
"No, I'm not," Su Yuqi said to Eclipse before turning to Bai Ze and giving him a cold smile. "If you don't want to personally ensure you can't speak for the rest of the day, I'd suggest you stop talking."
"What? It's not like I'm making things up," Bai Ze retorted, attempting to sound unfazed.
Su Yuqi rolled her eyes. "Right, because you're not at all like a gossiping housewife obsessing over the new, young, pretty neighbor."
Annoyed by the comparison, Bai Ze glared at Su Yuqi. "You--"
While the two bickered, Luo Jin remained in a state of shock, still processing what he'd just heard from Bai Ze. It triggered a mory from the ti at the museum when Ning Feng's na ca up. He recalled the palpable tension between Su Yuqi and her cousin, as if her cousin strongly disapproved of the idea of Su Yuqi being involved with Ning Feng.
Back then, Luo Jin hadn't paid much attention. His mind was completely consud with how he would confess to Su Yuqi, and because of that, he overlooked such an important clue. Now, he was kicking himself for his carelessness.
He turned to Su Yuqi, unaware that his expression resembled soone who had just been abandoned by the person they loved. His voice wavered slightly as he asked, "Is he really your fiancé?"
Su Yuqi, still in the middle of her argunt with Bai Ze, paused and turned to Luo Jin. Noticing his pained expression, she flicked his forehead lightly and said in an incredulous tone, "How did anything Bai Ze said lead you to that conclusion?"
Luo Jin held his forehead, looking even more aggrieved. "But Brother Ze said that the elders of your family wanted him to marry you--"
"Exactly! The elders, not ." Su Yuqi raised her brow at him. "Do you think I will marry Ning Feng just because they said so? This is not ancient tis. Not to ntion , my father would definitely not agree."
Luo Jin felt a wave of relief wash over him as her words sank in. Right. This wasn't ancient tis—Su Yuqi didn't have to follow the whims of her family's elders. Just as she said, she wouldn't let herself be forced into sothing like that. And besides, her father wouldn't allow it either.
"You fool. Just what are you thinking in that head of yours?" Su Yuqi said. Although she tried to sound like she was scolding Luo Jin, anyone could hear the pampering in her voice. She probably wasn't even aware of it.
Luo Yan saw this and smiled inwardly. Well, it seed that Luo Jin's feelings were not so unrequited after all.
Watching his brother, who quickly apologized and then adopted a determined expression, it was clear he was set on not losing to Ning Feng in tomorrow's semi-final match.
Good. Because he was also very determined to win.
"Alright, let's get back on track and start discussing our strategy for tomorrow's match," Shen Ji Yun said, steering the conversation back to the original topic.
Everyone stopped, and they began discussing again what needed to be discussed.
