I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 8

Shang Can was currently in a dilemma.

She wanted to quickly finish her meal and escape the cafeteria, but she was also worried that if she left now, it would take a lot of effort to find Yun Duan again. She also wanted to find out if the fake Can had used that outfit effectively.

Thus, she endured a rather torturous meal; the already unappetizing food became even more so in light of her feelings, twisting her face in distaste.

"I heard from Junior Sister Yun Duan that you and she have some acquaintanceship," came a voice.

Well, there's no need to hesitate now; it seems there's no escaping.

Shang Can grumbled internally, thinking that the most they had shared was a roasted chicken, and when she looked up, she noticed the meaningful glint in Chu Ming's eyes, suddenly realizing what he meant.

Chu Ming most likely knew about her and Yun Duan sneaking out of Tianwaitian to Yan Yang's outskirts yesterday, which was why he was approaching her now.

Just as Shang Can contemplated playing dumb, she noticed the apologetic expression on Chu Ming's warm face as he gently asked, "May I inquire how you are addressed?"

"..."

Shang Can was taken aback, instinctively glancing at Yun Duan beside her. She found that the woman had also set down her chopsticks and was looking at her with intense focus.

...Goodness, if Chu Ming hadn't brought it up, she wouldn't have even realized that in the several times she'd met Yun Duan, Yun Duan hadn't even asked her name.

Forget it; this probably meant she wasn't seen as someone whose name needed to be remembered in Yun Duan's eyes. That might be a good thing...

Shang Can brushed aside her worries and smiled, saying, "I am Gong Shang from the Bi Cang Sect, just a small fry, nothing noteworthy."

After saying this, she gestured towards the immersed in her food, Wan Shao. "This is my junior sister, Zheng Yu."

"Junior... sister?"

Wan Shao looked up in shock from her bowl, clearly upset. Shang Can thought it was obvious that with her name being Gong Shang and Zheng Yu, it was clear that Gong Shang came first, so there was no reason to be disgruntled. She smiled and responded, "Yes, does junior sister have something to say? Are you still hungry? Would you like me to give you my food?"

"..." Wan Shao, suppressing her anger, ground her molars as she stood up, her smile becoming dazzling. "No need, sister. I'm done; I'll take my leave now. Sister can catch up with these two... well."

The words "catch up well" were spoken with a hidden edge, and Shang Can watched as Wan Shao picked up her tray and left without looking back, her demeanor radiating charm and grace. To Shang Can, it only looked like a hint of schadenfreude.

The demon lord of Bi Luo Huang Quan truly couldn't bear any loss. Shang Can laughed awkwardly and apologized to Chu Ming, "My junior sister, she's... not very polite..."

"It's no problem; I should thank her for making things easier for me," Chu Ming replied, still wearing a gentle expression, though his tone grew slightly heavier. "Since it's just the three of us now, I'll be straightforward and ask."

"You were with Yun Duan last night, weren't you?"

"..."

Though that was the case, couldn't he phrase it differently?

Shang Can didn't respond immediately, glancing at Yun Duan, who was sitting upright. Not only did she not look at her, but she seemed to slightly turn her gaze away in the opposite direction.
