Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2022: Mu Yu Has Grown Up!
"Mu Yu, that little girl, has been acting strange these past few days. Last evening, she went to the small river behind the mountain to cry by herself! Fang Bai, you must know why, right?"
Xia Chenyu asked Fang Bai with a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Fang Bai pinched the bridge of his nose, sighed, and said with a bitter smile, "I know... I know..."
Xia Chenyu couldn’t help but chuckle seeing his troubled expression, and said, "Since you know, what do you think should be done about it?"
Fang Bai shook his head, "It’s not easy!"
"Why is it not easy? I think it’s quite simple!"
Xia Chenyu laughed and said, "Anyway, at this celebration, there are not just one or two who want to become your Martial Dao partners. One more Mu Yu wouldn’t matter, right? Oh, no, there are a few! Hmm, let me think... there’s Qingqing, Xiao Ying, Xiao Lian, the four sisters of Fortune’s Blessing..."
Hearing Xia Chenyu mention these names, Fang Bai couldn’t help but feel even more of a headache.
Fang Bai, having lived two lifetimes and experienced tens of thousands of years, wouldn’t claim to understand everything, but he had more insight into women’s hearts than many others.
Liu Qingqing, Xiao Ying, Shi Xiaolian, and the four sisters of Fortune’s Blessing were all interested in him, which he had naturally noticed a long time ago.
However, these women either never directly expressed their feelings or were still a bit young, so Fang Bai thought it inappropriate to become Martial Dao partners with them.
Especially Yan Muyu. Fang Bai has watched her grow from a little girl to her current youthful age, and his affection for her is more protective than romantic. Becoming Martial Dao partners suddenly would feel awkward for him.
As the date for the celebration for Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu and the other women approached, Liu Qingqing, Xiao Ying, Shi Xiaolian, and the four sisters of Fortune’s Blessing all felt a bit down. Fang Bai was well aware of the reasons.
But as a man, he naturally couldn’t take the initiative to talk to Liu Qingqing and the others.
Now that Xia Chenyu had brought it up, he hoped to convey his thoughts to Liu Qingqing and the others through Xia Chenyu.
After he conveyed this to Xia Chenyu, she shook her head, saying, "The one who ties the bell must untie it. I think you should talk to them yourself about this."
Fang Bai said, "This... isn’t very appropriate..."
Xia Chenyu said, "There’s nothing inappropriate. After all, you’re already familiar with them. Some things are better said openly rather than vaguely. What do you think?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Fang Bai thought about it and nodded, "You’re right. I’ll go talk to them."
......
At dusk, beside a winding little river behind the main hall of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, a girl in a light yellow dress sat on a smooth stone, with her arms around her knees, staring blankly at the river.
The girl’s snowy cheeks still bore traces of tears, as if she had just cried.
Suddenly, the girl picked up a pebble in front of her feet and threw it into the river, causing a splash.
"... Big brother has been busy and ignoring me these days..."
"... He must know what’s on my mind, but he pretends not to know anything..."
"... I’m so sad, yet he doesn’t come to comfort me..."
"... In no time, big brother will become Martial Dao partners with Sister Chenyu and the others..."
"... I really like big brother, but I’m not among his Martial Dao partners..."
"... I’m so sad... What should I do..."
Constantly picking up pebbles and throwing them into the river, the girl muttered to herself with each throw.
Saying this, she grew even sadder, crying softly, her frail shoulders shaking with each sob.
The girl was Yan Muyu.
Since hearing the news that Fang Bai was planning to become Martial Dao partners with Xia Chenyu and the others, she had been downcast for days, unable to focus on cultivation. Every day, she would run to this little river in the back mountain, stare at the water for a while, and then cry for a while.
Even though Yan Muyu was charming and outgoing, she liked Fang Bai very much in her heart, but she was too shy to run directly to him and express her feelings.
For these few days, she had been hoping that Fang Bai would take the initiative to find her and comfort her, so she could muster up the courage to confess her admiration for him, hoping that at the upcoming celebration, she would be one of his Martial Dao partners.
But to her disappointment and sadness, Fang Bai never appeared.
Yan Muyu was even a bit afraid, worried that after Fang Bai became Martial Dao partners with Xia Chenyu and the others, all his thoughts would be on them, forgetting her completely and never paying attention to her again.
She felt that if that were to happen, she would be heartbroken, and her future life would lose its joy.
"No, I can’t let it go on like this! I have to find big brother and ask him directly if he likes me... Yes, Yan Muyu, you’re not a little girl anymore, you can boldly express your feelings! Remember, don’t be shy, be bold!"
Yan Muyu encouraged herself a few times, then clenched her small fists and stood up.
When she turned around, she saw a figure standing a few yards away.
This figure appeared silently and seemed to have been standing there for a while. Yan Muyu jumped in surprise when she saw it.
"Big... Big brother... why are you here..."
When she saw the figure’s appearance clearly, Yan Muyu’s face turned red, and her heart raced as she thought, "The things I was muttering to myself just now, did big brother hear them? Ah, how embarrassing!"
She suddenly covered her face with her hands, thinking that this would prevent Fang Bai from seeing her embarrassment.
Looking at the slender and embarrassed beautiful girl in front of him, Fang Bai couldn’t help but think of the little girl he first met in Peach Blossom Town many years ago.
Back then, that little girl was so adorable and lovable.
But now, the girl in front of him, although still possessing a few traces of her youthful charm, had developed a woman’s grace and allure.
"Mu Yu has grown up!"
Fang Bai sighed inwardly, knowing that he could no longer see Yan Muyu as a little girl.
"Mu Yu, sit down, let’s have a heart-to-heart."
Fang Bai smiled, walked to Yan Muyu’s side, sat on the stone she had been on, and made room next to him for Yan Muyu to sit.
"Oh!"
Yan Muyu came to her senses and then mechanically sat down next to Fang Bai.
"Chenyu mentioned that you’ve been unhappy these days?"
Fang Bai turned his head slightly, looking at Yan Muyu’s profile, and asked.
Seeing the traces of tears still on Yan Muyu’s cheeks, he reached out and gently wiped them away for her.
"Ah... No, I’m not..."
Listening to Fang Bai’s gentle tone, looking at his concerned eyes, and feeling his gentle touch as he wiped away her tears, Yan Muyu’s little grudge and sadness vanished completely, and she shook her head.
