Chapter 657: The Unsteady Su Xinghui

Lunch was eaten at Zhang Pangzi's restaurant. At the end of last year, Zhang Pangzi had rented the storefront next door. After knocking through the wall, he continued to expand his business scale, and the private rooms were now decorated with a touch of class. Zhang Pangzi's culinary skills were indeed quite good, so they generally ate here.

Lu Xiaoya had originally wanted to pull Xia Zhu over to eat as well, but Xia Zhu said there were things to do at the factory and the village committee was quite busy, so she didn't come. Lu Xiaoya did know that Xia Zhu was unhappy in her heart; as a woman herself, how could she not see that Xia Zhu also liked Su Xinghui?

Lu Xiaoya was truly too kind. She hoped to be able to eliminate the resentment in Xia Zhu's heart. She had taken the initiative to pull Xia Zhu's hand earlier and let her go to the bamboo forest precisely for this reason. Now, she had pulled Xia Zhu to eat for the same reason, but since Xia Zhu insisted on not going, she had no other way.

Although she was kind, love was selfish. She could not possibly give Su Xinghui away; it wouldn't matter who it was. If Su Xinghui didn't love her, that would be that, but Su Xinghui also loved her, which meant it was a mutual affection, so she could disregard everything to love Su Xinghui.

Lu Xiaoya was now incomparably grateful to Jiang Ting. If she hadn't broken up with Su Xinghui, how could Lu Xiaoya have the chance to be in a relationship with Su Xinghui now?

Yu Ruizhi asked Su Xinghui in private if he and Lu Xiaoya had confirmed their romantic relationship. Su Xinghui nodded and said they had. Yu Ruizhi was quite regretful, saying it was a pity he couldn't become his brother-in-law.

Su Xinghui just smiled indifferently and said, "How could that be possible? Sister Sister Ruoqiu doesn't have that kind of intention at all."

During the meal, several people frequently toasted Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya, congratulating them on confirming their relationship and hoping to drink their wedding wine soon. Su Xinghui accepted all comers, not seeing the faint look of sadness between Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu's brows.

After three rounds of drinks, Su Xinghui raised his glass to Yu Ruizhi and said, "Brother Yu, I'll toast you a glass. Later, let your driver, Little He, take Xiaoya for a trip. I'll follow in the car too; I'm really a bit worried about her taking the shuttle bus back to Jiangcheng."

Yu Ruizhi drank a glass with him and said, "A small matter, does it really need a toast?"

Xiang Tianlu frowned and said, "These past two years, the roads have indeed been a bit unsettled. The truck drivers under me have all said they've encountered highwaymen. There are too many road bandits and car thieves. I bring at least two bodyguards whenever I go out now. It's indeed not safe for Miss Lu to take the shuttle bus alone."

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said, "Xinghui, then you and Xiaoya must be careful."

Yu Ruizhi said, "It's fine. Little He has good skills, and Xinghui is even more of an expert. With the two of them there, they will definitely be able to keep Xiaoya safe. Xinghui is also a man in official circles, so he can find people if he encounters anything."

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said, "Then Xiaoya can't leave too late, otherwise it will be even less safe once it gets dark."

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Then I'll leave a bit earlier later."

After finishing lunch, Su Xinghui said, "Brother Yu, I'll call you when Xiaoya leaves later."

Yu Ruizhi laughed, "Fine, you go accompany Xiaoya. She ran all this way to see you, after all."

Su Xinghui smiled, waved at them, and took Lu Xiaoya back to the township government.

Lu Xiaoya followed Su Xinghui into his dormitory. After entering, Su Xinghui closed the door. He smiled and said, "Xiaoya, sit. Just sit on my bed."

After Lu Xiaoya sat down, her hands were nervously twisted together. Before coming, she had imagined the scene of being alone with Su Xinghui countless times, but now that she was truly alone with him in his dormitory, she suddenly became nervous and didn't know what to say.

After all, in her twenty-two years of life, she had never been in a relationship once. She had absolutely no experience like this.

Su Xinghui was actually a bit nervous too. He didn't know what he should do next either. He tried hard to recall the experiences of his two past-life relationships, but he discovered that his mind was also a blank slate. ===== CHAPTER 659 =====
