Spare Me, Great Lord! - Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Heartbroken Wang Shuli (Part 2)

Li Dian carried his chair over to Lu Shu?s table and mingled with the rest of them. He immediately asked, ?I?ve always wanted a pet, is this squirrel of yours for sale? I?m willing to offer a high price!?

Lu Shu was stunned upon hearing his words. He already had his sights set on Little Fury even when he hasn?t dealt with his own mess? He responded indifferently, ?What?s your high price??

?20 thousand dollars!? Li Dian replied, ?You have to know that normal squirrels can?t fetch this sort of price!?

Lu Shu was amused. Brother, you want to buy Little Fury with 20 thousand dollars… but can you defeat and control it? How about I buy you for 20 thousand dollars…

In fact, Little Fury?s abilities had been improving consistently since eating the second refresher fruit. It had easily passed through the novice stage of class E to the latter stages. Looking at Li Dian, of novice class E ability, he probably could not defeat Little Fury…

Lu Shu sighed, ?This is passed down from ancestors in my family. I really can?t sell it.?

Li Dian was stunned. What passed down from ancestors, who are you kidding?! He replied, ?You won?t get such a good opportunity anymore after missing it. It isn?t every day that a squirrel could fetch a price of like 20 thousand dollars…?

Lu Shu was dumbfounded, is this guy done talking, ?Did you just discover the internet or something? Or do you think that I don?t frequent forums on the golden foundation??

?Keke,? Li Dian stayed silent. He actually wanted to test the waters. He had scammed so many people in the past and he had been exposed before. If he didn?t have such thick skin, he would never have survived. So he didn?t feel that embarrassed even after being exposed by Lu Shu.

When everyone was done with dinner, tour guide Wang informed everyone to go to the shore of Qinghai Lake to await the sunset. The sun was already very low at the moment, and it would sink beneath the horizon any moment.

The golden rays shone through the cascading clouds far away. The faraway clouds were like thick walls of a city, and those opposite the sun were already shaded with a golden-red hue. Everything seemed like a majestic, floating castle.

For some reason, every time Lu Shu looked at sunsets, he would feel warm and an unexplainable satisfaction. It was just like the satisfaction of a good meal with no worries about life or anything else. All he had to do was to enjoy the silence and the atmosphere.

Lu Shu asked suddenly, ?Xiaoyu, when do you feel the most blessed every day??

Lu Xiaoyu pondered for a moment before replying, ?Having dinner together after buying groceries with you and watching you making dinner.?

?Honestly.?

?Watching you make dinner, then having dinner together.?

?Honestly.?

?Having dinner together…?

Lu Shu looked into the distance and the corners of his lips curled into a slight smile. Actually, Lu Xiaoyu was the most blessed because the simpler the gauge of bliss, the easier it would be living in bliss.

He turned around to see a group of riders coming over at Huanhu road. There were cyclists as well as people on motorcycles. One of them looked rather familiar, but Lu Shu didn?t think too much into it as he was too far away to make the person out clearly.

Under normal circumstances, how could he bump into someone familiar so far away from home? He tried to register key features of the person in his head, and if there was a chance to bump into him again, he could know if he actually knew this person.

At this moment, Wang Shuli brought her friends over with a few cartons of beer she just bought, ?Want a drink? Sunsets and beers are the most complementing duo!?

Lu Shu was rather hesitant as he had never drunk alcohol in his life. On one hand, it was because he didn?t have that extra money to drink and on the other, he didn?t have anyone to drink with.

Wang Shuli and her friends sat down even before Lu Shu could finish thinking. At this instant, the sun finally sank below the horizon. The entire Qingzhou Lake turned into a golden sea. Being the largest lake in China, there was logic in calling it a sea.

The vastness of the sea was soothing and could improve the mood of people.

Lu Shu expressed that he didn?t drink. After all, there were still things he wanted to do. Honestly, he questioned the reasons for a person like Li Dian being on this tour. He felt as if he had other reasons for embarking on this tour and it wasn?t as simple as going for a holiday after selling his gourd.

This sort of person was busy in the underground world all the time, but suddenly he?s out on a tour? So, Lu Shu wanted to find out more information about Li Dian tonight.

Ultimately, Wang Shuli and her friends didn?t mind at all. They could drink to their hearts? content while Lu Shu couldn?t understand their high as he himself couldn?t get high at all.

Wang Shuli was drunk and sat near the shore of the lake, her body gently swaying. Her figure, soaked under the light of the beautiful sunset, seemed like the main character from a comic book. ..

Before they got wasted, Lu Shu heard from them that they came out on a holiday to relax only because Wang Shuli dumped her boyfriend and was in a rather poor mood…

Everyone else was knocked out and Wang Shuli had a hand on Lu Shu?s shoulder. In the end, Lu Xiaoyu took Wang Shuli?s hand away from Lu Shu?s body in all seriousness…

Wang Shuli didn?t mind either as she laughed sheepishly, ?Actually, I don?t really care very much about him. I just feel that there?s something wrong with people nowadays. Can?t we live without doing it before marriage? Didn?t people in the past live well? I just don?t want to do everything his way, why should I?!?

Do it? Lu Shu pondered over those two words… isn?t this too much information?!

Wang Shuli, drunk and disoriented, almost fell onto Lu Shu with her body swaying. In the end, Lu Xiaoyu held onto her instead…

Wang Shuli pointed at Lu Shu, ?You tell me! Why!??

?Uhm…? Lu Shu thought, ?Maybe people in the past didn?t do it before marriage because they could get married at 13…?

?From Wang Shuli?s distress, +666!?

Wang Shuli was rather unhappy, ?In the past, the pace of life was slow. Everything was slow. Cars, carriages, and mail were slow. A lifetime was enough to only love one person…?

Lu Shu didn?t want to argue on purpose, but he felt that he should speak about the truth from an objective perspective, ?To be honest, what you?re saying about life in the past is just an unrealistic picture of what really happened. Mail could only reach its destination in three months, and it might not even reach its destination. People could have a change of heart by then… This sort of thing doesn?t change with the times. In fact, there were more unfaithful people in the past compared to now. At that time, it was still legal to have concubines…?

Wang Shuli was stunned… damn this guy…

?From Wang Shuli?s distress, +499!?

But Lu Shu suddenly said earnestly, ?In truth, relationships and feelings shouldn?t be that sacred. People shouldn?t be falling for another person just after chatting for a few days, or they shouldn?t feel like they want to spend a lifetime with a person they just dated for a few months. Or wanting to be with someone forever just because he treats you well. It?s no doubt that there are so many people filled with hatred or overwhelmed by melancholy. This was the price to pay for being idealistic. One day, everyone would understand… that there is no such thing as undying devotion.?

Wang Shuli looked at the radiating teenager under the sunlight and wondered how much did this teenager had gone through to understand relationships so profoundly.

?What about you and Xiaoyu?? Wang Shuli questioned.

Lu Shu thought for a moment before smiling and rubbing Lu Xiaoyu?s head, ?We?re different. We?re born to depend on each other.?

Lu Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, and in her heart, she responded: that?s right.
