Chapter 801: She Didn't Come All This Way for Nothing

Xiaochun Zhuanqin's residence.

"Lian Ye, why are you here?"

Xiaochun Zhuanqin showed surprise at Lian Ye's sudden visit.

Although they had been good teammates since childhood, Lian Ye rarely came here unless there was a special reason.

Normally he would just run over to Zhi Cun Tuan Zang.

Could it be that they are having a feud?!

"Won't you let me in to sit?"

Yuzhi Bo Lianye slightly raised an eyebrow.

He had just given Zhi Cun Tuan Zang a harsh lesson, and then hurriedly ran to find Xiaochun Zhuanqin.

That bastard's disciple from Qianshou Feijian.

He won't let any of them get away!

"Please come in."

Xiaochun Zhuanqin shifted aside, not understanding what he actually wanted.

In the courtyard.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Xiaochun Zhuanqin brought tea, trying to clarify the situation.

This guy never goes to Sanbao Hall without a reason; coming to see me must mean he has business.

Judging by his expression, the matter seems serious.

"What a sin."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye sighed at the words and drained the tea in his cup.

Xiaochun Zhuanqin instantly became interested upon seeing that.

She wanted to see exactly what had happened to make Lian Ye show such an expression.

"Tuan Cang's attitude toward me seems off."

After a moment of silence, Yuzhi Bo Lianye lowered his voice to explain.

Xiaochun Zhuanqin: "!!!"

Her eyes instantly brightened.

He finally figured it out; Tie Shu finally blossomed.

In fact, from childhood she always felt their way of getting along far exceeded that of ordinary comrades.

Although there are many good comrades in the Village, none are as close as Lian Ye and Tuan Cang!

She had kept this matter bottled up inside.

Today she finally had a chance to talk properly with one of the parties involved.

"Then how do you feel?"

Xiaochun Zhuanqin was both eager and nervous.

"What feeling?"

Yuzhi Bo Lianye sighed, helplessly spreading his hands.

"I don't know how to get along with him from now on."

"Listen, today he dragged me to his house, kept touching my face with his hand, pulled open his collar so I could touch him, and kept saying I couldn't understand his intentions..."

He recounted what he had done before.

It was just a swap of the two's roles.

"He scared me dumb, then let me go, saying to consider today's incident as if it never happened."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye portrayed himself as the victim.

"How could Tuan Cang do this!"

Xiaochun Zhuanqin felt a bit indignant.

He was a bit too impatient; can't such matters be taken slowly?

Now it's all right, everyone got scared.

From now on, the difficulty of them being together will skyrocket!

If Tuan Cang had consulted me before acting, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

Seeing the "troubled" Lian Ye, Xiaochun Zhuanqin offered words of comfort.

"Don't be afraid; actually Tuan Cang is just teasing you."

She must do everything possible to restore Lian Ye's impression of Tuan Cang, otherwise they will truly have no chance later.

"Really?"

Yuzhi Bo Lianye exhaled, feigning ease as he said.

"I told you Tuan Cang isn't that kind of person."

Xiaochun Zhuanqin felt a surge of emotion at that.

Lian Yejun truly lives up to being a five‑point scorer in Cultural Class.

It's really too easy to be fooled.

A perfect clueless sweetie.

Who knows, maybe they could be tricked home by a string of SanseMangzi.

That guy Tuan Cang can't even handle this; he's truly useless.

At this moment, in Xiaochun Zhuanqin's eyes, Lian Ye = clueless sweetie, Tuan Cang = useless.

It seems the time has come to give him some ideas.

May all lovers in the world eventually become a couple!

"Then why did he make that kind of joke to me today?"

Yuzhi Bo Lianye's face was filled with worry and fear.

"Tuan Cang isn't the type who likes to joke..."

Saying that, he seemed to recall the earlier "harassment" incident, his body trembling slightly.

Xiaochun Zhuanqin could only comfort patiently, silently sighing that Tuan Cang really scared people.

"It might be for another reason; I'll ask around for you later."

"Alright, then thank you."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye stood up and, before leaving, gave a special instruction.

"Xiaochun, I hope we both let this matter rot in our stomachs and never bring it up again; otherwise the impression will be bad."

"I understand!"

Xiaochun Zhuanqin hurriedly nodded, wearing a look of total comprehension.

Little did she know, in a place she couldn't see.

The corner of Yuzhi Bo Lianye's mouth twitched slightly upward.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's reputation was completely ruined, and that old Qianshou Feijian thing will probably never be able to straighten its back in this lifetime.

Jie jie jie!

Meanwhile, at Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's residence.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang crouched in the corner, his mind repeatedly replaying the scene that had occurred in the courtyard earlier.

"Tuan Tuan, I thought we were the best of friends..."

"Tuan Tuan, don't you like me calling you that?"

"You treating me like this really hurts our feelings..."

"Tuan Tuan, you really don't understand my feelings?"

"Fine, I won't force you."

"Tuan Cang, let's pretend today's incident never happened, and don't bring it up again."

"What exactly do you mean?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's face turned pale; they were unwilling and dared not think it through.

It seemed that a good brother harbored a different kind of feeling toward them.

It's truly terrifying.

He had always thought they were best friends, but it seemed only he felt that way.

Lian Ye's feelings toward him were not merely platonic.

What a joke!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang wouldn't admit it, but what just happened couldn't be denied.

For a moment, he didn't know how to face his former close friend.

No wonder Lian Ye used to come over here whenever there was nothing to do.

It turned out it wasn't just about sunbathing.

At that moment, Xiaochun Zhuanqin entered the courtyard and saw the despondent Tuan Cang crouching in the corner.

In her eyes, that look was the sorrow of having failed to confess to a boy she liked.

Tsk tsk, that's really tragic.

Unrequited love is an everlasting pain!

"Tuan Cang, are you okay?"

Xiaochun Zhuanqin came to his side, her face full of worry.

She was truly worried that Tuan Cang, after being rejected, might do something irrational.

Such as self-harm, or slipping Monghan Drug into the milk Lian Ye often drinks.

As a companion known since childhood, she felt responsible for steering Tuan Cang onto the right path!

"Xiaochun..."

A flash of complexity passed through Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's eyes.

He didn't know whether to tell his companion about the earlier incident.

Would that affect Lian Ye's Kage negatively?

"Don't say any more, you already know."

Xiaochun Zhuanqin guessed what he wanted to say.

It was nothing more than the failed confession.

"You already know?!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang widened his eyes, not understanding how she knew.

"Lian Ye told me."

Xiaochun Zhuanqin explained.

"These matters can't be rushed; over time you will gradually understand each other's feelings."

She didn't intend to make it too explicit.

Both are her friends; whether they can succeed depends on fate.

Slowly understand the intention…?

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang murmured softly, falling into contemplation.

Does he actually like Lian Ye?

Xiaochun Zhuanqin saw that he took it in, and nodded approvingly.

It's fine as long as you can take it in.

She didn't come all the way here for nothing.
