Chapter 366: Yu Linglong Stood Up for Fu Sisi
After leaving their seats, they walked to the backyard.
It was rare to see a sunny day, and the wind was not strong. It was much warmer than usual.
After walking for a while, Lu Sheng stopped.
As Fu Sisi was thinking about other things, she was too distracted to notice that she had stopped and almost b.u.mped into her.
Thankfully, Lu Sheng reached out to support her in time.
“Miss Sisi, what are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?”
“Nothing!”
Fu Sisi laughed dryly and quickly changed the topic. “Miss Lu, didn’t you want to get some wine? Why did you stop here?”
“Wait for me for a while.”
As Lu Sheng spoke, she walked to a tree and brushed away the snow covering the ground. Then, she continued digging. After a while, a hint of red appeared.
Fu Sisi leaned over and said in realization, “So Miss Lu buried the wine here!”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly and explained, “I initially wanted to bury a few jars for my master to drink. However, he’s not here now. Let’s bury a few more jars for him in the future.”
As she spoke, she dug out a jar.
After Fu Sisi received it, she placed it aside because the wine jar was too cold.
Lu Sheng dug out two more jars and pretended to ask casually, “I saw Miss Sisi and Young Master Yun not interacting at all today. I wonder what happened?”
Fu Sisi’s expression paused for a while before she smiled and said, “Nothing much. I just feel that my actions in the past were a bit frivolous. It’s indeed inappropriate.”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “Miss Sisi, are you really not going to tell the truth?”
She smiled faintly and said, “I’ve asked your cousin. He said that ever since s.h.i.+ Yi went to find you last time, you’ve become like this.”
Fu Sisi was silent for a moment before sighing softly. “Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Cousin.”
She thought that Chu Sihan did not know about these. She did not expect him to know.
She did not know if s.h.i.+ Yi had told him.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “In that case, s.h.i.+ Yi was the reason why you ignored Yun Ting?”
“I guess.”
Fu Sisi smiled faintly. “Playing hard to get. I have to say, it’s quite effective.”
For years, the number of times Yun Ting took the initiative to speak to her could be counted on one hand.
However, ever since she distanced herself from him, he took the initiative to talk to her more often.
Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “Some people are like that. The more you pester them, the more they will push their luck. They will think that you will never leave them.”
“Is that so?” Fu Sisi sighed softly. “Young Master s.h.i.+ said so too.”
Perhaps, she had used the wrong method previously.
She had thought that by appearing beside him every day, he would develop feelings for her over time.
However, time proved that she had used the wrong method.
The more she pestered him, the more impatient Yun Ting became.
“So, how did you feel after being calm for a while?”
As she spoke, Lu Sheng had already buried the remaining wine.
“I don’t know.”
Fu Sisi stared at the three jars of wine and said with a gloomy expression, “After this period of calm, I suddenly feel that I can actually remain calm when facing him.”
In the past, she really could not do it.
In the past, Yun Ting was both a poison and an antidote to her.
However, after forcing herself to calm down for a period of time, she suddenly realized that she could actually remain calm in front of Yun Ting, even if she was pretending.
Lu Sheng nodded slightly. “What next? What do you want to do?”
“I don’t know!”
Fu Sisi looked a little lost. “I’ve liked him ever since I could remember. It has been four to five years?”
She smiled bitterly and continued, “All these years, whenever I see him, I can’t help but want to get close to him. I want him to acknowledge me, but every time, I only get his disdain and impatience.”
Lu Sheng picked up two jars of wine and stood up. “Before you figure it out, maintain such a distance for now. Perhaps, the one who figures it out first wouldn’t be you, but him.”
“Huh?”
Fu Sisi squatted on the ground and hugged a jar of wine. She looked at her in confusion.
Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “You’ll understand in the future.”
Perhaps, what one could not have was the best.
“Oh!”
Fu Sisi sighed softly. Holding the wine jar, she stood up and followed Lu Sheng back to the restaurant.
Lu Sheng pa.s.sed the wine to the waiter and asked them to heat it up before sending it over.
Chu Sihan had only drunk three cups of strong wine in this big jar. s.h.i.+ Yi had only drunk two cups when the jar was almost empty.
Yun Ting’s eyebrows were flushed and his eyes were a bit misty. However, he continued drinking silently.
Unlike Fu Sisi, Fu Sisi knew very well that she liked him. However, he did not know if he liked Fu Sisi or not.
That was because he had never liked anyone else. He did not know how he felt about Fu Sisi.
When she pestered him, he felt very impatient. When she didn’t, he felt uncomfortable.
He felt that he was sick, and quite sick at that.
Fu Sisi no longer pestered him. He should be happy, but he wasn’t. He even felt fl.u.s.tered.
He was afraid that, as s.h.i.+ Yi had said, she would fall in love with someone else.
“Brother Yun, take it easy. This wine is very strong.”
s.h.i.+ Yi said worriedly.
This wine was definitely the strongest he had ever drunk. According to Yun Ting’s drinking method, it would be strange if he wasn’t drunk.
“I’m fine!”
Yun Ting pushed his hand away and continued pouring wine.
Fu Sisi’s mouth opened slightly, but she pursed her lips and did not say anything.
However, she still looked at Yun Ting worriedly.
“Young Master Yun, let me toast you!”
Lu Sheng raised her gla.s.s and toasted Yun Ting.
Yun Ting smiled faintly and raised his gla.s.s to her before downing it in one gulp.
Lu Sheng smiled and said meaningfully, “Young Master Yun, I hope you can sort out your feelings earlier.”
He was too focused on his own misery to say anything. At this rate, he would miss it sooner or later.
“This wine is quite strong.”
Yu Linglong spoke with a silly smile.
She had just downed a cup when her vision became blurry.
Fu Xianyun held her shoulders helplessly, but she patted him away.
She glared at Yun Ting and said angrily, “Yun Ting, don’t look down on our Sisi. She doesn’t have to have you. There are thousands of men in this world. I don’t believe that she can’t find someone better than you!”
She had long been unhappy with Yun Ting. She could tell that Fu Sisi was in a bad mood today, so she kept this in mind. Her resentment towards Yun Ting deepened.
Fu Xianyun was shocked and hurriedly explained, “Young Master Yun, please don’t mind her. My wife is like this. Once she’s drunk, she likes to talk nonsense.”
“I’m not drunk!”
Yu Linglong glared at Fu Xianyun and pointed at Yun Ting. “He’s the one who doesn’t know what’s good for him. How is our Sisi bad? Which part of her isn’t good enough for him? Does he have to treat her coldly for years?”
Fu Sisi’s eyes reddened immediately. She had thought that she was the only one who knew how she had sacrificed. She did not expect Yu Linglong to know this and even stand up for her.
