Chapter 48

Looking at Song Luokui's somewhat sincere apology, Chi Yu forgave her, and the two continued their sparring session - or rather, Chi Yu was teaching her how to fight.

After an hour of instruction, Chi Yu checked the time: "Are you hungry?"

Song Luokui rubbed her stomach, realizing she was indeed a little hungry since she had come straight from school without eating.

Chi Yu picked up his jacket, "Let's go eat."

Song Luokui followed for a couple of steps then stopped abruptly, recognizing this familiar start... why was it always about eating?

Chi Yu turned around when she didn't follow: "Not eating? Should I drop you back at school then?"

Song Luokui sighed, since they'd already sparred, eating was inevitable.

Song Luokui: "Let's eat, let's go." She walked ahead of him.

Chi Yu watched her back with a hint of a smile.

They went to a new place to eat, a private banquet room, where dish after dish was ordered until the table was full. Song Luokui blinked at the array of food and looked at Chi Yu, unable to resist asking, "Why did you order so much?"

Chi Yu: "I was wondering if you didn't like the food from before, so I changed the restaurant this time and ordered more dishes for you to choose what you want to eat."

Chi Yu: "Oh, and you returned everything to me, but I still have your things, so it's me who owes you. Let me treat you from now on."

Chi Yu: "Just the watch you gave me alone, I could treat you for a year."

Song Luokui: ...

Song Luokui put down her chopsticks and held her head, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Chi Yu suddenly looked at her seriously, "Don't avoid me anymore."

Song Luokui: "That's impossible, if you call out to me at school others will replace out, and there's my brother..."

Chi Yu: "I know, I won't call out to you in public, and I won't let your brother know either. We can keep it like before."

Song Luokui: "Before?"

Chi Yu: "Before when we ate together, your brother didn't know."

Song Luokui hesitated: "But... my brother..."

Chi Yu: "Your brother and I are just business competitors, we're from the same circles. I won't harm him. And he's him, you're you. By being friends with me, couldn't you feed him inside information?"

Song Luokui felt that made some sense: "Really?"

Chi Yu: "Really."

Song Luokui: "I'm afraid you'll trick me and break my heart, and it'll end up hurting my brother..."

Chi Yu looked puzzled for a moment, "Trick you and break your heart? You would?"

Song Luokui suddenly slapped her forehead, "Oh right! Of course I wouldn't! You're not my type at all!"

How could she possibly be tricked and heartbroken by Chi Yu? This wasn't a TV drama, and Chi Yu would never harm her - the male lead would never do anything illegal. Plus, her family wasn't one to be easily bullied. She had overthought things before.

As for Chi Yu, he fell silent. This was the first time someone said he wasn't their type. From a young age until now, he had never doubted his looks and abilities. So what exactly was her type?

Chi Yu looked at Song Luokui, who seemed to have figured something out and was now glowing, her bright eyes looking quite attractive.

Chi Yu: "So..."

Song Luokui: "Let me think about it some more."

Chi Yu put a piece of meat on her plate, "Take your time, no rush. Eat first."

"Mm, let's eat." Song Luokui picked up her chopsticks and ate.

Chi Yu then made another tempting offer, "By the way, if we're friends and your friends need sponsorship fees, you can ask me. If your friends want to book escorts at Unnamed Mountain Lake, you can put it on my tab too, but not for you - you can't book anyone."

Song Luokui: "...Unnamed Mountain Lake is yours?"

Chi Yu: "Not mine, I have shares in it."

Song Luokui recalled the previous three million...

"Putting it on your tab doesn't seem right, does it?"

Chi Yu: "Discount?"

Song Luokui: "That works." After all, booking male escorts did seem a bit pricey - even if she was wealthy, spending excessively on men didn't seem worthwhile.

Chi Yu: "So..."

Song Luokui: "...Let me think some more." Didn't he say there was no rush?

Chi Yu: "Oh, also when I go abroad I can send you gifts. Hmm... it seems the State Investment Department is going to develop a certain area soon, and I remember your brother..."

Hearing this, Song Luokui immediately perked up her ears, but Chi Yu didn't continue and instead said to her, "If you become friends with me..."

Song Luokui stuffed a chicken drumstick straight into Chi Yu's mouth, "Eat!" Always trying to tempt her.

Chi Yu ate the drumstick, while Song Luokui ate a piece of meat, and Chi Yu looked like he wanted to say something again.

Song Luokui: "Don't say anymore, let me think about it."

Chi Yu: "...That's not what I was going to say."

Song Luokui: "Then what were you going to say?"

Chi Yu's gaze fell on her chopsticks, and Song Luokui suddenly realized she had just used her chopsticks to feed Chi Yu the chicken drumstick... and she was now using the same chopsticks to eat.

Song Luokui's ears instantly turned red. She glared at Chi Yu and switched to a new pair of chopsticks to eat.

Her glare had no intimidating effect at all, her eyes just looked moist and attractive. Chi Yu only felt a slight tingle, but since she had gotten angry when he poked her cheek before, he didn't want to offend her again in case she refused his offer.

Even though she hadn't agreed yet, Chi Yu felt it was only a matter of time.

After the meal, Chi Yu dropped Song Luokui off at home and handed her a pile of things as she was getting out of the car.

Song Luokui: ?

Chi Yu: "These are the things you sent back to me before. Now that we're friends, shouldn't you take them back?"

Song Luokui gritted her teeth: "Not yet!"

Chi Yu: "You don't want them? I'll ask again tomorrow then."

Song Luokui was afraid of him now, "I want them, I want them." She didn't want to bring them back openly though, so she got back in the car, "Just drop me off a little way from my home, and keep an eye out. If you see any of my family, remind me so they don't replace out, okay?"

"Got it."

Chi Yu dropped Song Luokui off near her home, and she looked around furtively, "Is anyone out there?"

Chi Yu: "No one."

Song Luokui: "Okay, I'm going then. Bye bye."

"Mm."

Song Luokui darted back home like a little mouse with her bagful of things.

Chi Yu watched until she got inside, then drove back to his own home.

Aunt Gui watched as Song Luokui returned with a large bag of things that seemed vaguely familiar - weren't those the items the young miss had sent out before?

Aunt Gui: "Young Miss."

Song Luokui: "Haha, a friend gave them to me. I'll be going to my room, Aunt Gui."

Song Luokui hurried upstairs and stuffed the things into her wardrobe.

That night, Song Luokui had a dream where she obtained a lot of information from Chi Yu and passed it to her brother. With this divine assistance, her brother was able to utterly defeat Chi Yu and reach the pinnacle of success. As her brother's sister, of course Song Luokui was also basking in glory!

Many people congratulated her enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, Chi Yu knelt on the ground begging her for mercy. Hahahahaha!

Song Luokui woke up laughing. She opened the curtains to a beautiful day and sent Chi Yu a message: "Good morning, my friend."

Chi Yu had just finished showering and was getting dressed when he saw the message and smiled.
