Chapter 940: Chapter 667: Fu Sheng and Ming Xu (Part 2)
"..."
"Can a guy be with another guy... too?"
Fu Sheng asked tentatively...
Zeng Xiaocheng’s heart skipped a beat with that question.
Shan Minglang looked at Fu Sheng,
"Why? Do you really think Zeng Xiaocheng and I would..."
"Well, didn’t you say Zeng Xiaocheng likes you?"
"Haha! I meant the kind of like between brothers! In this life, we’re brothers, maybe next life, if the genders change, we could be a couple!"
"..."
Fu Sheng noticed the half-visible shoulder at the door droop exceedingly, finding it amusing.
"Besides, Zeng Xiaocheng isn’t gay, he has a lot of girlfriends, he’s a typical playboy, always in the tabloids. I’m not gay either."
"Oh?"
Fu Sheng hummed subtly, implying otherwise...
Finally unable to stay outside any longer, Zeng Xiaocheng rushed in,
"Minglang, your brother’s coming up, we should leave."
"Huh? Don’t pull me, I still have things to say to my sister-in-law!"
Zeng Xiaocheng grabbed Shan Minglang’s arm, inadvertently locking gazes with Fu Sheng’s meaningful eyes, his ears turning slightly red, revealing the embarrassment of having his thoughts seen through.
He was so caught up in his own emotions that he didn’t notice the hint of envy in Fu Sheng’s eyes.
"You can talk later!"
"Zeng Xiaocheng!"
"Sister-in-law Fu Sheng, as long as you like my brother, you can win him over!"
Ming Xu was already hearing Ming Lang’s loud claim even before entering, wondering where this kid got the confidence to babble such nonsense!
Before dragging Ming Lang out, Zeng Xiaocheng glanced at Fu Sheng, as if to say...
There’s nothing to fear, if I’m not afraid...
Fu Sheng seemed to understand, quietly murmuring,
"No matter how hard it is for you, it’s harder for me... I know..."
Zeng Xiaocheng dragged Shan Minglang out of the room, and as Ming Xu entered, he closed the door.
Liang Fusong leaned against the table, the window half open, wind blowing in, flipping over the new recruit enrollment pamphlet on the table...
and blowing her long hair.
The faint smile faded from her face, her gaze meeting Shan Mingxu’s...
Shan Mingxu furrowed his brows, a prominent "川" between them, his handsome looks with thick eyebrows and big eyes, indeed quite likeable.
"You can’t join the army. I’ll talk to Lin Xinhong to cross off your name."
"..."
"Stay at home for now, we’ll talk about the future later, you’re still young. You can learn a profession, continue your studies. I’ll cover the tuition and whatnot, just do what someone your age should do, like others your age."
"Shan Mingxu, you brought me home, but the real thanks go to your parents, your brother, and your sister."
Fu Sheng said calmly,
"I will remember your family’s kindness and will repay it when I get the chance."
"Since you acknowledge this kindness, you should listen to me and not give me a hard time!"
"Did you even listen to what I said earlier? I said the kindness is from your family to me, but as for you..."
Fu Sheng propped her hand on the table, her beautiful eyes quietly fixed on Shan Mingxu’s face,
"You owe me a life."
"..."
"Shan Mingxu, it’s true you saved me, but you should remember it was me who used my body to shield you from the bullet, allowing you the chance to save me. Strictly speaking, I saved your life."
Shan Mingxu bit his lip,
"I haven’t forgotten."
"So the one who should be repaying is you... Such a big life-saving favor, you’re not going to feign amnesia, are you?"
Shan Mingxu never anticipated she would bring up this so-called favor at such a time...
"I want to join the military as a female soldier, don’t interfere. Consider it as repayment for the favor. How about that?"
"..."
————
Shan Minglang and Zeng Xiaocheng didn’t go far; like minds think alike – they both lingered outside eavesdropping.
The intense argument they expected didn’t happen; both spoke quietly, leaving Shan Minglang and Zeng Xiaocheng only hearing fragments.
Exchanging clueless looks, both were uncertain.
"Can they reconcile?"
Ming Lang asked softly.
Zeng Xiaocheng thought for a moment, then nodded,
"They should be able to, it’s quiet in there, maybe..."
Saying that, Zeng Xiaocheng chuckled sleazily, then pressed his thumbs together with a "hehe", quite suggestively.
Shan Minglang quickly pressed his ear tighter to the door, trying to catch if any kissing sounds could be heard.
Just then, the door was yanked open from the inside.
