Chapter 13: Please Spare Me

After Su Chan finished speaking, Li Yundong fell off of his chair with a thump. He laughed so hard that he almost died. The face of the girl playing the role of Ronald McDonald froze as if it had turned to stone. She laughed drily a couple times.

There was a short silence inside the McDonald's, then uproarious laughter suddenly burst out.

Su Chan looked left and right at a loss. She realized she said the wrong thing once more. So she sat down with her face full of grievance. Internally, she mutter to herself, 'I didn't say anything wrong. In the cultivation world, if there's this kind of situation with thirteen people fighting over eight magical treasures, wouldn't they kill off five of them first?'

She sat on her seat, being laughed at so hard that she didn't even know where to place her hands[1]. Her lips were so pouted that you could hang an ornament on it. Her eyes glittered with tears. Her head hung low like a young wife who had suffered more than her fill of bullying.

Li Yundong laugh for a good while. As he rubbed at his aching belly, he smiled and said, "Hurry and eat. Don't say any more. The more you say, the more mistakes you make."

Su Chan made an aggrieved 'ah' sound and transformed her sorrow into appetite. She fiercely started taking her anger on her hamburger, devouring it in only two or three bites.

Li Yundong waited until she finished her food, then he pulled Su Chan along and left the McDonald's.

The two walked along a big street. Along the way, every time Li Yundong recalled what happened earlier, he could not help but laugh so hard that his body sway to and fro. Su Chan kept her head down and followed behind Li Yudong. Her face blushed a deep red.

When they reached home, Su Chan suddenly stopped in place. She raised her head. Her eyes glimmered full of teardrops. "Am I actually really stupid?"

Li Yundong received a frightful shock. 'This girl is tragic. Those mind twisters actually made her start doubting her own intelligence.'

Li Yundong realized that he laughed too much, evidently he had hurt the girl's self-esteem. He hurriedly consoled her, "You're not dumb. It's just these questions are too tricky. They're originally made for playing jokes. You're really smart. Truly."

Su Chan's eyes were hazy with tears. "You're lying."

Li Yundong hurried to swear an oath, "If I'm lying to you then let lightning strike five times!"

Upon hearing Li Yundong's oath, Su Chan immediately believed him. In the cultivation world, there's nothing mightier than letting lightning strike down five times. She sniffled a bit and wiped at her tears. "Okay, I believe you."

Li Yundong immediately released a sigh of relief, "That's right. Our family's Su Chan is both beautiful and smart. She's practically the embodiment of beauty and intellect. How could she be stupid?"

Su Chan turned her grief into happiness and said, "Who belongs to your family? Stinky shameless fellow!"

Su Chan revealed a bashfulness that seemed both displeased and delighted. Her behavior made Li Yundong's heart beat with eagerness. For a time, he stared at that supremely beautiful face somewhat infatuated.

Su Chan also looked at Li Yundong with ardent eyes. Not knowing why, she also seemed a bit besotted.

The two stared at each other. A haze of ambiguity that caused hearts to titillate rippled through the air, a little ticklish, a little warm.

A strong impulse suddenly welled up inside Li Yundong to embrace the girl, to kiss her lightly, to kiss her more, to dote on her, and to love her, but he did not dare. He feared that the girl before him was a majestic and sublime bubble. If he reached out, she would pop and disappear, never to be seen again.
