Chapter 178: Boyfriend, Girlfriend
Chapter 178: Boyfriend, Girlfriend
Long Yu was stunned for a few seconds after listening to Yao Ran's words, but he felt no hesitation or fear, only heartache for her. Although she said those words calmly, he could see the hope, fear, and nervousness in her eyes.
His beloved woman... what happened to her in her previous life that turned her into the current her?
Seeing that he was just staring at her, Yao Ran's eyes dimmed. She lowered her eyes, chucked softly, and emotions disappeared from her eyes. When she looked up again, her eyes were as calm as still water.
She smiled slightly at Long Yu and said, "Long Yu, I don't think we are suit-"
Before she finished speaking, Long Yu hugged her and said, "Ran Ran, don't be afraid. From now on, I will protect you and stay by your side. No matter what happens in the future, I will never leave you. You can trust me."
When Yao Ran heard this, her eyes reddened. She felt something was blocking her throat, and she suddenly lost her voice.
She took a deep breath tremblingly and said hoarsely, "Are you sure? I am a very vengeful person. If you regret it in the future, I won't let you go easily."
Long Yu nodded, "Mhm. If I make you angry, you can hit me or kill me, but please don't drive me away. Ran Ran, I want to spend my entire life with you. I love you."
Listening to his sincere words, the last wall in her heart collapsed. Yao Ran raised her arms and hugged him back. Tears fell from the corner of her eyes as she whispered, "Long Yu, thank you."
Hearing this, Long Yu's heart beat faster. He looked at her and asked, "Do you agree to be with me?"
Yao Ran nodded, "Yes."
After receiving her answer, Long Yu finally calmed down.
He reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, kissed her eyelids gently, and said in distress, "Don't cry. If you cry, my heart will hurt for you."
Yao Ran smiled and nodded. The two hugged each other for a long time before Long Yu reluctantly let her go and said, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest early."
She remembered that they should go to the trading market early tomorrow morning and nodded, "Alright. You should also rest early."
Long Yu held her hand and said softly, "I will take you back."
Hearing this, Yao Ran chuckled and said, "I am your neighbor. You don't have to take me home all the time."
Long Yu frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Ran Ran, you are not my neighbor. You are my girlfriend now. As your boyfriend, I am honored to send you back to make sure you are safe. You can't take away this privilege from me."
Yao Ran blushed when she heard him call her his girlfriend. She coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment and said, "Alright. Thank you, boyfriend."
Long Yu's eyes lit up when he heard her calling him her boyfriend. He nodded and happily sent her home.
Standing outside her door, he gently touched her cheek and said, "Sweet dream, Ran Ran." After saying that, he turned around and walked back to his apartment. Looking at his straight back, Yao Ran suddenly felt reluctant and suddenly called him, "Long Yu."
Hearing her calling him, Long Yu turned around. Before he could ask her what she needed, he saw her running towards him and opened his arms to catch her.
The next second, she grabbed his collar, pulled him down, and kissed him lightly on the lips. Before he could react, Yao Ran let go and ran back home.
Standing in the corridor, Long Yu's mind went blank.
He stood there for a long time before coming back to his senses and touching his lips. The soft feeling from her kiss was still there. That night, Long Yu didn't know how he returned home or when he fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Yao Ran woke up and prepared to go to the trading market to meet the old man. When she left the apartment, Long Yu was already waiting for her in the corridor.
He smiled and said, "Ran Ran, good morning."
"Good morning." Yao Ran walked up to him and asked, "Where are the others? Aren't they going with us today?"
Long Yu shook his head, "Shi Xuan said that he saw Lu Hong meeting a mysterious person yesterday and planned to investigate them today with Huang Qian. Jia Xiang said that she bought a lot of materials for making explosives yesterday and would make them today."
Hearing about the explosives, Yao Ran raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything. At the end of the world, the more weapons they have, the better.
Seeing that it was getting late, they left in a hurry. When they arrived at the entrance of the trading market, they saw the old man waiting there. The old man saw them from a distance and waved to Yao Ran.
Yao Ran nodded to the old man and walked up to him. She didn't see the antiques and asked, "Old Grandpa, where are the goods?"
The old man replied, "The three boxes of antiques are very heavy and big, so I didn't bring them with me. I'm afraid of drawing unwanted attention."
Hearing this, Yao Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Old Grandpa, how can we do business without you bringing the goods?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The old man noticed her dissatisfaction and hurriedly explained, "My sons are waiting for us at my house. I am afraid that someone will snatch my antiques, so I hope you can go with me to my house."
Hearing this, Yao Ran looked at Long Yu and asked, "Long Yu, what do you think?"
Both of them are ability users, and they have weapons. It is easy for them to deal with
ordinary people. However, if this old man colludes with some gangs and lures them into a trap, then it would be troublesome.
