Chapter 467: Interrupting The Confession

Up until now, Xu Gui still felt that it was very unreal even when the military training had already ended. He asked Luo Yikun if this was a dream every time he saw him.

Luo Yikun only smiled and said no. He didn’t explain anything else.

On the other hand, Xu Gui was exceptionally happy to know that he could go to the same university as Luo Yikun.

He no longer disliked Luo Yikun so much and was very brotherly with him.

He even took the initiative to introduce Luo Yikun to his new friend.

This was how Luo Yikun got to know the people in the private room.

Luo Yikun was a second-generation heir who knew how to play. When others were studying desperately in the early years, he had already played everything that needed to be played. He was not enthusiastic about coming to a bar to drink.

If Xu Gui wasn’t coming today, he wouldn’t have come either.

Just as they were drinking, a girl suddenly walked towards Xu Gui with a glass of wine. At the same time, the music in the private room became more emotional and less noisy.

The girl was holding a wine glass in one hand and placing the other behind her. Luo Yikun saw that she was holding a bouquet of roses in her other hand.

For a moment, he tightened his grip on the wine glass and his eyes darkened.

The girl’s face was very red. It was unknown if it was because she was shy or because she had drunk alcohol.

She walked to Xu Gui and handed the roses and wine to him at the same time, “Xu Gui, I-I like you. Be my boyfriend!”

“If you agree, accept my flowers and drink this glass of wine.”

Someone hooted.

At that moment, Xu Gui was a little dizzy from drinking.

He was shocked awake when he suddenly realized someone was confessing her love to him.

He instinctively looked at Luo Yikun.

“Why are you looking at him? Xu Gui, I know you have a good relationship with Schoolmate Luo, but there’s no need for you to ask for his opinion on such matters, right?” The girl was a little unhappy.

She liked Xu Gui and felt that Xu Gui and Luo Yikun were too intimate. They were said to be very close buddies, but what kind of buddies ate together every day?

Actually, it was nothing if they simply ate together. It was just that when everyone was sitting together, Luo Yikun only looked at Xu Gui as if no one else mattered in his eyes.

It felt very strange.

Luo Yikun swirled the wine glass and leaned back lazily. He looked at the girl. “Why can’t he ask for my opinion?”

He looked at Xu Gui, “Little Guizi, why are you in a daze? Someone is confessing to you! I couldn’t tell that you’re actually quite charming. You’ve only been in university for less than a month and there are already girls confessing to you.”

Xu Gui still felt a little guilty, even though he could not pinpoint why.

Upon hearing Luo Yikun’s words, the guilt in his heart dissipated instantly. “Tsk, Second Young Master Luo, how dare you have the cheek to criticize me? I wonder who has so many girlfriends that they can form a line that is a few streets long! You got to the Imperial Capital University with your ability and you have the looks. It’s not the first time a girl has asked me to pass a love letter to you!”

“A love letter?” Luo Yikun’s mood suddenly improved. He looked at him with a faint smile, “Where is it? Why didn’t I receive any? Little Guizi, you didn’t secretly hide the love letter, right? Could it be that you—”

“I just don’t want those girls who don’t know your true colors to be harmed by you. I didn’t give you those love letters. So what? Jerk!”

“…” The others.

“…” The girl who confessed looked at Xu Gui strangely. Her gaze wandered between Xu Gui and Luo Yikun.

She felt that their relationship was even stranger now!

Would normal good buddies interact like this? Would they scold each other for being a jerk?

The girl gritted her teeth and said again, “Xu Gui, I like you. Are you willing to be my boyfriend?”

“I…” Xu Gui looked at Luo Yikun instinctively again.

He couldn’t understand why either.

Weren’t they still arguing just now?

The girl stomped her foot, “Xu Gui, answer me!”

“I—”

“He isn’t willing.”

“What right do you have to answer for him? This is between him and me. It’s true that you’re his good buddy, but a good buddy can’t interfere in his private matters, right?”

Xu Gui didn’t know why, but he really wanted to know how Luo Yikun would answer.

There was also an inexplicable nervousness.

Luo Yikun looked at Xu Gui with a serious expression, “Because—”

The ringtone interrupted Luo Yikun.

The music in the private room had changed when the girl confessed. Someone even lowered the volume of the music. It was obvious that the girl had arranged it beforehand.

Hence, everyone could hear the ringtone clearly now.

It was Luo Yikun’s phone.

Luo Yikun looked at Xu Gui and retracted his gaze angrily. He then took out his phone.

He cursed the person who called at this moment countless times inwardly.

God knew how rare this opportunity was.

Were they afraid that others would look down on them if they couldn’t accept it?

He did not care at all. If Xu Gui cared, he would teach those people who looked down on them a lesson and guarantee that Xu Gui would not have any concerns.

He was initially angry that a girl had confessed to Xu Gui, but he was a little grateful now.

If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t have had such a chance.

However, someone called at this moment and interrupted him!

He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Just as he was about to hang up and continue speaking,

He was stunned when he saw the caller ID.

Then, he frowned deeply and answered the call in front of all of them. “What’s the matter?”

At that moment, Xu Gui thought that he would hang up. He did not expect him to pick up.

For a brief moment, Xu Gui could not explain why a sense of loss slowly rose from the bottom of his heart and then spread.

“Luo Yikun, something has happened to the Yu Family. Someone has sneaked in. The guest in the Yu Family’s residence is your master. We don’t know if he’s dead or alive now.”

“…Make yourself clear!” Hearing Yu Ming’s words, Luo Yikun couldn’t help but think of the words Yan Jinyu had said to him, which he still hadn’t figured out yet.

He didn’t know why Yan Jinyu treated him that way. He had clearly expressed his stand, but Yan Jinyu wanted him to make a choice between the Yu Family, his master and her.

She asked him who he would side with if there was a conflict.

At that time, he felt that neither the Yu Family nor his master could be related to Yan Jinyu.

However, he recalled Yan Jinyu’s words when he received this call.

“Your master has been a guest in the Yu Family’s residence for a while. Other than our own people, no one knows at all. However, a group of people sneaked into the Yu Family just now and killed the people guarding your master’s courtyard. They had entered the courtyard and we didn’t know if your master was dead or alive.”

“If something happens to your master, the intruders will probably not let the Yu Family off either. The people who came are very likely your master’s enemies, and your master is hiding in the Yu Family now.”

“The intruders’ marksmanship is very good. We’re not their match at all. You—”

“I’ll be right there!”

Just as he stood up, someone pulled his sleeve.

“Finish what you said just now before leaving.” Xu Gui saw Luo Yikun’s behaviour and guessed that something big must have happened. However, he didn’t care about anything now. He just wanted Luo Yikun to finish what he said.

He couldn’t pinpoint the reason either.

He was clearly not someone who couldn’t sense the urgency.

Before Luo Yikun could hang up, Yu Ming also heard Xu Gui’s voice, “Who’s the person talking to you?”

Luo Yikun paused. “A schoolmate.”

Then, he added, “He’s not anyone important.”

He didn’t know why he said such words. He clearly owed the Yu Family a favor. It was all thanks to the Yu Family and his master that he had this ability.

They should be the people he trusted the most.

However, at this moment, he instinctively felt that he could not let them know of Xu Gui’s existence.

After saying that, he hung up.

However, Xu Gui seemed to have suffered a huge blow. He slowly let go of him, “N-not anyone important?”

Suddenly, he laughed. “Indeed, I’m not anyone important. Who are you, Second Young Master Luo? When you’re happy, you say that you want to be good friends with me. When you’re unhappy, I’m nothing.”

Luo Yikun moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he remembered that the Yu Family’s situation might be urgent. In the end, he retracted his words, “I have something urgent to settle. We’ll talk when I come back.”

“What if I say I want to make it clear now?”

“Luo Yikun, I’ll give you a chance to explain what you meant by ‘not anyone important’.”

“I said it casually. It’s not…”

“Just said it casually?” Xu Gui’s body swayed. “You could say it casually. I’m indeed not an important person!”

Seeing him like this, Luo Yikun panicked. “No…”

At that moment, the phone rang again.

It was still Yu Ming.

Luo Yikun hung up after taking a look. “I have something on now. Wait for me to come back.”

“Luo Yikun, I won’t pursue whether I am anyone important anymore. I just want to hear you finish what you were saying.”

“Someone is confessing to me. You rejected it for me but you didn’t give us an explanation. Do you think that’s reasonable?”

“I’ll explain when I get back.”

“It’s just an explanation. How much time can it take?”

“It’s not a matter of time, but…” He wanted to confess. He couldn’t leave after saying that and leave him here alone to clean up the mess.

“Anyway, I’ll leave first. Wait for me to come back.” After saying that, he left.

“Xu Gui, I like you. Be my boyfriend? I’m sincere!” The girl said again.

This time, Luo Yikun only paused for a moment before leaving without looking back.

Xu Gui looked at his back that got out of sight at the door and suddenly chuckled uncontrollably.

This smile exuded an indescribable sadness.

No one dared to speak, including the girl who confessed to Xu Gui.

After a long while, the girl probed, “X-Xu Gui, are you alright?”

“P-perhaps your friend really has something urgent to attend to. You—”

Xu Gui glanced at her and the girl retracted her words.

“I’ll make a move first.. You guys enjoy yourselves.”
