Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 264 - 277: May I Have This Dance

This young man, around seventeen or eighteen, looked exceedingly handsome. His features were striking, with some mixed race characteristics, and his light honey-colored muscles were so perfect they reminded one of the sunshine on the beach.

He walked over to Su Xingyu and stopped, casually sitting down on the sofa on her other side, smiling brightly: "Sister-in-law, why are you drinking alone here and not chatting with everyone?"

Su Xingyu smiled faintly and slightly raised her chin: "I just introduced a bunch of people to Shifeng, feeling a bit tired, so I’m resting for a bit."

Lee Lei followed the direction of her chin and saw Lu Shifeng, who at that moment seemed to be talking to Du Yunfeng, looking rather distressed. Lee Lei chuckled gleefully: "Shifeng brother must be brainwashing Yunfeng again with that old spiel about settling down, not playing around, and taking up family responsibilities soon. Yunfeng’s really in trouble this time, caught by him, haha."

Su Xingyu thought about it; that was indeed Lu Shifeng’s style.

"You know him well." She said to Lee Lei.

"We’ve known each other since we were three, how could I not?" Lee Lei said leisurely, "He’s always been serious since childhood, never did things like climbing trees for birds or smashing people’s windows. Sister-in-law I tell you, playing with him was boring, whenever there was trouble, there was no one to blame it on, all the adults knew it definitely wasn’t him!"

Su Xingyu couldn’t help but laugh out loud: "You poor thing."

"Isn’t that right," Lee Lei’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he said to Su Xingyu, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you stories from Shifeng brother’s childhood, back then he..."

One spoke animatedly, while the other listened avidly.

When Lee Lei was recounting Lu Shifeng’s various embarrassments from his childhood, like stumbling at a certain age when walking, getting hit with a snowball by a playmate without retaliating, getting lost in the woods, all the way to the Nth story of mistaking a little girl’s confession for provocation, a voice suddenly sounded from above—"You’re having quite an enjoyable chat, huh?"

"...Shifeng brother," Lee Xiaolei said with a beaming smile, showing no awareness of having been caught bad-mouthing, "I was telling Sister-in-law about your past, you were really a heartthrob back then."

Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, heartthrob? What he’d just heard wasn’t this version. "Your grandfather entrusted you to me before leaving, instructed me to take good care of you in the country," Lu Shifeng’s voice was low and cool, "Next time I see him, I’ll report your behaviors truthfully, like what you’ve done during this time, whether you’ve caused me any trouble..."

"No, absolutely not!" Lee Xiaolei turned pale with fright and made a snap decision, "Shifeng brother, Sister-in-law, you two chat, I’ll go have a look at Yunfeng over there."

With that, he rose and fled like avoiding pestilence.

Su Xingyu sat on the sofa, watching Lee Lei’s fleeing back with resentment. He hadn’t finished the story about Lu Shifeng being forcibly confessed to by a kindergarten girl!

Lu Shifeng stood in front of her, looking down at her: "You’re very interested in him?"

"Hm?" She was confused, then suddenly realized her resentful gaze lingered for quite a while on Lee Lei’s departing figure, quickly retracting it, "No, absolutely not!"

Like most people, she was also afraid of him, inexplicably so, seemed instinctive, just didn’t dare to provoke his anger.

Lu Shifeng squinted slightly, no? From afar, he saw the two chatting happily.

"From now on, don’t let that brat come within three steps of you." Lu Shifeng ordered.

Su Xingyu: "..."

Lu Shifeng continued ordering: "Whatever he says to you, don’t believe, it’s all lies."

Su Xingyu again: "..."

Lu Shifeng: "I never got confessed to by girls during my childhood, I found them annoying, attended a boys’ school."

Su Xingyu again again: "..."

She knew he later attended a boys’ school, Lee Lei had just casually mentioned this part, but in kindergarten, it was co-ed! Just because there were several confession incidents in quick succession, he strongly requested his family to transfer him to a boys’ school. He went to boys’ schools throughout elementary, middle, and high school, eventually being harassed by a male same-sex admirer whom he beat up, leaving the person severely injured, almost crippled.

Humph, don’t think she doesn’t know.

Lee Lei had spilled plenty.

She hadn’t expected his school days to be so colorful, almost rivaling hers, courtesy of the stormy years she had endured thanks to Su Xingqi.

Su Xingyu complained inwardly, however, didn’t dare to expose him outwardly.

She figured it out, this man is just stubborn about his dignity, no good outcome comes from opposing him.

Thus she pretended to smile: "Of course, Shifeng, you’re right, everything Lee Lei said is nonsense."

Lu Shifeng looked at her insincere manner, her small face lighting up vividly, his lower abdomen started to burn faintly again.

He turned around and left.

Su Xingyu was dumbfounded, this person, how could he just vanish when they were speaking fine!

Who knew, after a few minutes, he came back, holding a soft silk and cashmere shawl: "Put it on, be careful not to catch cold."

"I’m not cold..."

"Put it on." He said firmly.

Her camellia cheongsam looked damned good, the enchanting silk outline accentuating her beautiful curves, if this continued, he didn’t know if he could control himself from taking her right here in the club.

Su Xingyu looked at him, then at the shawl in his hand, silently taking it over like a dutiful wife and putting it on.

Forget it, it wasn’t anything major anyway, this old-fashioned guy probably feared others seeing her bare arms and legs?

Silently cursing him with little grass dolls in her mind, she had only jabbed a few times when she saw Lee Xiaolei, who recently fled due to Lu Shifeng’s threat, returned in high spirits: "Sister-in-law, isn’t it boring to just sit here, wonder if I have the honor to invite you for a dance?" With that, he extended his hand with a smiling face.

Su Xingyu froze, Lee Xiaolei, your Shifeng brother is still standing right there!

This brazen display, is it really okay?

Look, he’s glaring at you, really glaring!

But still, Lee Lei seemed oblivious, smiling brightly, even shamelessly turned to ask Lu Shifeng: "Shifeng brother, I’m inviting Sister-in-law for a dance, you don’t mind, do you? It’s just a regular social dance, anyone can dance it, I’m sure my dance skills will take good care of Sister-in-law."

Lu Shifeng coldly watched him.

Lee Xiaolei smiled back defiantly.

Alright, he was just afraid of missing out on chaos; after seeing Lu Shifeng and Su Xingyu say a few words then fetch a shawl, it was obviously because she was dressed too beautifully, he got jealous!

His mischievous side awakened, deliberately coming to stir up this jar of jealousy, just because the jar of jealousy threatened him with grandpa earlier, humph.
