Chapter 272: You Should Take This Kind Of Thing Seriously

Ten minutes after they got off the merchant boat, Ying Yi came to Xiao Shao and the others who were waiting in a teahouse at the port. Ying Yi cupped his fists and said, "Master, everything is ready."

Listening to Ying Yi’s report, Xiao Shao nodded. "Mhm."

Then he looked at the other four people and said, "We should leave now. There is still a long way to go to the mountains."

After paying for the refreshments, Ying Yi led them to the place where other hidden guards were waiting with their horses and carriages. Xu Xiang, Huan Yun, and the still injured Mu Yucheng got into the carriage, while Hu Wenfeng rode with Xiao Shao and the hidden guards.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Xiao Shao said, "Let’s go."

Following his order, they headed for the snow-capped mountain ridge of Qin Kingdom. Inside the horse carriage, Xu Xiang took out soft blankets, pillows, tea sets and snacks from her space. She put the pillow behind Mu Yucheng, and then arranged the snacks and brewed a pot of tea for him.

While chewing melon seeds, Huan Yun watched Xu Xiang busy tidying up the spacious carriage, and making sure Mu Yucheng could sit comfortably.

After watching for a few minutes, Huan Yun couldn’t resist the urge to say, "Xu Xiang, you have asked him if he is comfortable or not four times in just a few minutes. Why do I feel that you are treating Mu Yucheng more and more like those dedicated wives treating their beloved husbands?"

Hearing her words, Xu Xiang ignored Huan Yun. She covered Mu Yucheng’s legs with a soft blanket, looked up at him, and asked, "Do you want to eat something? I have prepared your favorite snacks and cream puffs."

Ignored by Xu Xiang, Huan Yun put the remaining melon seeds back on the plate on the low table, wiped her hands, and said, "Yes, please. I’m hungry."

Xu Xiang glanced at Huan Yun and said, "I didn’t ask you."

Huan Yun heard Xu Xiang’s words, sighed sadly, and exaggeratedly said, "I’m so pitiful. After losing a lot of weight in the past few weeks, my friend cares more about her boyfriend than she cares for me. What is the use of me living in this world? I should die of seasickness and leave this cold and cruel world."

Seeing her pretending to be pitiful and listening to her nonsense, Xu Xiang rolled her eyes at Huan Yun and said, "Don’t talk nonsense. With which eyes do you see that I have a boyfriend?"

Huan Yun pointed to Xu Xiang’s hands that were still busy arranging the pillows for Mu Yucheng and said, "I see it with both of my eyes. Look at what you are doing now. Are you sure you two are not in a relationship? Sometimes, I even think, maybe I missed your wedding ceremony."

Before Xu Xiang could defend herself, Mu Yucheng asked, "What is a boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Judging from the conversation between Huan Yun and Xu Xiang, Mu Yucheng had already guessed the meaning of the words boyfriend and girlfriend, but he was not sure.

Looking at Mu Yucheng’s curious expression, Huan Yun poured herself a cup of tea and said, "Borrowing the words from your world, boyfriend and girlfriend are lovers. When a man and a woman are in a romantic relationship, the man will become the woman’s boyfriend, and the woman will become the man’s girlfriend. The next step is for the two of them to be a fiancé and fiancée, and then get married, then finally become husband and wife."

After Huan Yun explained to Mu Yucheng, she looked at him and asked with a smile: "Now, judging from the relationship between the two of you, Mu Yucheng, do you think you are Xu Xiang’s boyfriend or her ordinary friend? You and I are ordinary friends. Have you ever seen me care about you like how Xu Xiang cares about you? Have you ever seen Xu Xiang take care of Xiao Shao like how she takes care of you?"

Seeing that Mu Yucheng was seriously pondering Huan Yun’s words, Xu Xiang quickly said, "Mu Yucheng, don’t listen to her nonsense. Before men and women can become boyfriend and girlfriend, they first need to become lovers. We are friends, so you are not my boyfriend."

After hearing Xu Xiang’s words, Huan Yun rolled her eyes and said with a scoff: "Yeah, right. Only ghosts believe that you treat him no more than a friend."

After a moment of silence, Mu Yucheng looked at Xu Xiang and asked seriously: "Then... Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

As soon as his question came out, both Xu Xiang and Huan Yun were stunned. The teacup in Huan Yun’s hand fell to the wooden floor with a soft ’thud’, as the tea staining the soft animal skin carpet.

Huan Yun picked up her teacup and thought: ’Did some screw come off his brain? How could he ask this question casually?’

Huan Yun looked at Mu Yucheng in disbelief, and said, "I said, brother. This is not the right way to ask a woman out. You should at least consider the time, place and atmosphere before asking her to be your girlfriend. You should take this kind of thing seriously. No man would ask a woman this kind of question casually like you do."

Hearing Huan Yun’s words, Mu Yucheng said solemnly: "When I asked Xu Xiang to be my girlfriend, I meant it."

Thinking that it is better to make it clear now than to wait until tomorrow, Mu Yucheng turned his head to look at Xu Xiang again, held her hands, and said seriously: "Xu Xiang, I really like you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know that I am poor and cannot give you a rich lifestyle like the other men. But I can assure you that even at the cost of my life, I will protect you well. I will only love you alone in my life, and I will put your safety and happiness on top of everything else."
