Chapter 680 - 679: Unexpected Encounter with the Young Lady
"Wow! Time to eat, time to eat, I want to eat big lobster!" Lu Xiaoyu began to exhibit her invincible mischievous and playful tradition again.
Lin Wushuang was speechless, this best friend was easily bought off. Originally fuming, she saw Chen Tianlong and Shen Yan having a private meeting here and was ready to get mad. But with Lu Xiaoyu’s antics, the atmosphere instantly turned festive, and she couldn’t stay angry.
"Xiaoyu, can’t you be a little more ambitious and calm down? Didn’t you see Teacher Shen? How rude." Lin Wushuang scolded.
"Boo hoo... Wushuang is actually scolding me, boo hoo..." Lu Xiaoyu pretended to cry.
"Xiaoyu, stop it, come over here. I peeled a big crab for you, eat it while it’s hot. I’ll order your big lobster in a moment." Chen Tianlong said with a sweet smile.
"Alright, Brother Chen Tianlong is awesome."
Hearing Chen Tianlong say this, Lu Xiaoyu immediately cheered up, ran to Chen Tianlong’s side, and sat down with a plop. Luckily, it was a soft sofa, so it wasn’t a problem.
Lin Wushuang hesitated. She initially planned to eat in the next suite with Xiaoyu, but now it was definitely out of the question, so she awkwardly sat next to Shen Yan.
This was a sofa on both sides of a six-person table, with three people on each side.
Since Xiaoyu sat with Chen Tianlong, Lin Wushuang could only sit next to Shen Yan. For Lin Wushuang, she wasn’t very familiar with Shen Yan. Although Shen Yan was her teacher, they rarely communicated and she only saw Shen Yan in class.
Now sitting with the teacher and having dinner felt a bit strange, especially since this teacher was so young, making her feel like they were peers.
That’s why Lin Wushuang felt a bit uncomfortable. If Shen Yan were ten years older than her, she would feel more at ease.
Because in that case, there would be no possibility of anything between Shen Yan and Chen Tianlong.
Although Chen Tianlong had explained earlier that this meal was because Shen Yan gave him tutoring, as a woman, Lin Wushuang’s sixth sense was still quite sharp. She didn’t think things were as simple as Chen Tianlong described.
"Wushuang, why did you decide to have seafood today?" Chen Tianlong asked casually.
"Brother Tianlong, Wushuang said she was afraid you’d be out flirting everywhere, so she decided to come out and see if she could catch you. Otherwise, you’ll end up with so many girlfriends, it’ll be like a football team." Lu Xiaoyu said earnestly, as if it were true.
"Gah?"
Chen Tianlong was rather speechless. Nothing good ever came from Xiaoyu; she could tease anyone but always got the better of him.
"You little brat, do you want me to pinch you? Is your butt itching?" Lin Wushuang was about to burst out again.
"Ahem..."
At this moment, Shen Yan couldn’t bear to watch any longer. With these two around, everything was in chaos.
She wasn’t annoyed; rather, she thought there was no chance for anything to happen between her and Chen Tianlong. She was initially thinking that while eating, some chemistry might develop. But now it seemed Lin Wushuang was a jealous person, and certainly liked Chen Tianlong, just too shy to say it.
In short, it’s a secret crush, but she’s too proud to admit it.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan realized she was no different, unbeknownst to herself, she had blended into the situation.
She shook her head and continued eating. Chen Tianlong noticed Shen Yan’s concern, but under these circumstances, he couldn’t show too much care. Otherwise, Lin Wushuang would definitely notice something was amiss.
"Teacher Shen, here, have this." Suddenly, Lin Wushuang handed a peeled green crab to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was stunned. She never expected Lin Wushuang to be so nice to her. She could tell that Lin Wushuang had clearly noticed something initially.
"Um, thank you, Wushuang. I’ve always wanted to say, you’re so beautiful."
Every time Shen Yan lectured, she’d glance at Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang beside him. Seeing Lin Wushuang’s flawless beauty, Shen Yan wished to befriend her, but their teacher-student relationship had prevented it.
"Huh? You’re flattering me, teacher. You’re prettier." Lin Wushuang’s heart was obviously filled with joy, but she didn’t show it outwardly.
"Hehe, really, you’re much prettier than the teacher. No wonder Chen Tianlong always stares at you in class, secretly in love with you." Shen Yan suddenly dropped a bombshell; it was intentional, to probe what kind of relationship the two had.
"Gah?"
Chen Tianlong had lost count of how many times he’d said "gah" today; he was almost turning into a duck. Except for surprise, there was only surprise.
He never expected Shen Yan to pull this trick out of nowhere, leaving him defenseless. Against normal adversaries, Chen Tianlong was more than capable, but dealing with emotions, he hadn’t yet found a better way.
"Haha... let’s eat quickly, or it will all get cold." Chen Tianlong deliberately changed the subject.
"La la la, Brother Chen Tianlong, you’re not playing fair. At home, I understood when you secretly watched Wushuang, but at school too? I can’t help you anymore." Lu Xiaoyu added fuel to the fire.
Chen Tianlong was frustrated, this Xiaoyu always seemed to mess with him, almost like they holding a grudge from a past life.
But he reacted swiftly, quickly saying, "Well... of course, I have to watch her! I’m her bodyguard, loyal and duty-bound to ensure her safety every moment. Think about it, if an assassin were nearby, how could I protect her without watching her closely?"
As soon as he said this, the three girls could only roll their eyes, speechless at how well Chen Tianlong could make things up.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, on the first floor. Judging by the language, it seemed like a group of foreigners were speaking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we indeed have no available seats. You can either wait or go to another restaurant." Zheng Erniang, seeing this group of foreigners looking fierce, was a bit scared, but realized there was no need to fear them on her own soil.
"We like this place, be nice and vacate a table for us, we want seafood."
One person, whose nationality was unclear since he wasn’t speaking his native language but instead Huaxia, albeit poorly, which Zheng Erniang could barely make out.
"I’ve told you, all positions are full, and the earliest wait is half an hour. Stay if you want to wait, otherwise go elsewhere."
Zheng Erniang was clearly losing patience, repeating her statement for the third time, having run out of words for these foreigners.
"****, are you going to move or not? Otherwise, we’ll sort it out ourselves."
A tall and strong black man threatened; he was Jackie from the United States, a san-da expert whose power was at the Yellow Dao’s five-star level, a true external expert with a Golden Bell Shield body, impervious to sword or spear, truly formidable.
"Yes, boss O okay? If not, we’ll start taking seats, ah hahaha."
A Muay Thai expert, Shi Kekuang, accompanied him, also Yellow Dao five-star, though he was an internal expert.
