The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Blood Princess's mind was a bit messy; she wasn't sure how to feel about her relationship with Tang Rao.

Friends? It didn't quite fit.

A fellow cultivator who supports each other? Maybe, but she always felt there was something more.

…

After leaving the cabin, Tang Rao didn't go to find Soros.

As for not returning to the Karen Family, he was afraid of encountering Bo Ya.

There's no doubt Bo Ya has feelings for him, but besides liking to take little advantages of her, he didn't really have any special feelings.

Perhaps, giving her the cold shoulder was the best approach.

He hoped that time would smooth things over.

Besides, during his cultivation he had already decided to stick with Yun Xi - there was no other choice now.

Whether it was about sticking to love, or fitting into the grander scheme, he had to win over Yun Xi.

So, Tang Rao went straight back to Sui City, back to Sui City University.

He didn't go to see Yun Xi immediately but went to the dormitory.

In the dormitory, Zhou Boxiong was lying on the bed, looking as if he were dead; Yan Wei was still on his computer, mumbling something incomprehensible.

Yun Hai was also there, monopolizing Zhou Boxiong's computer to play Overwatch, looking quite pathetic, kept on charging ahead as a support and dying spectacularly.

"Boss Tang Rao is back," Tang Rao shouted.

The three guys all paused, then turned to look at Tang Rao.

Yan Wei shrugged and continued looking at his computer.

Zhou Boxiong was used to it and waved his hand, greeting Tang Rao.

On the other hand, Yun Hai dashed over eagerly: "Brother-in-law, did you see my sister? She's been going crazy looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" Tang Rao was surprised. Yun Xi had rejected him, why was she looking for him?

"Hahaha, has your sister finally realized I'm the one she loves and decided to come to me? I knew it, my excellence and strength would eventually move her!" Tang Rao laughed loudly.

"Or she could be breaking up with you for good," Zhou Boxiong added.

"Fat Bear, come down, I promise I won't kill you."

"Boss Tang, I'm asleep," Zhou Boxiong flipped over, jokingly said because if he went down, Tang Rao would scold him to the heavens.

"Brother-in-law, are we going to go see my sister now?" Yun Hai asked excitedly.

"No rush, it's almost noon, I'll treat you guys to lunch."

"Not interested," Zhou Boxiong waved his hand.

"Not hungry," Yan Wei threw out two words.

"Brother-in-law, we've already eaten, Teacher Li treated us," Yun Hai said.

"Teacher Li? Li Xuerui?"

"Yep, college is great, even the teachers are good-looking," Yun Hai said, lost in his thoughts.

Why did Li Xuerui treat these three guys to a meal? Could it be about inquiring about him?

Hmm, it must be.

After all, he hadn't been back for about ten days.

"Hey, Teacher Li was looking for you," Yun Hai suddenly said quietly.

Just as Yun Hai finished speaking, Tang Rao's phone rang.

There was no signal at the Nine-Headed King Hall, so he had put his phone in the Space Ring. Inside the Space Ring, the phone battery wouldn't drain, so he only took it out when he returned to school.

"Hello…" Tang Rao answered the call.

Perhaps even Li Xuerui herself didn't expect someone to answer.

You see, she had been calling Tang Rao countless times these days.

"Tang Rao? Where are you?" Li Xuerui's voice came immediately.

"I'm in the dormitory, what's up?" Tang Rao asked.

Dormitory...

Li Xuerui was clearly stunned for a moment, "Then come out for a bit, I have something to ask you."

After finishing, Li Xuerui hung up the phone, and as for Tang Rao, he shrugged his shoulders and left the dormitory to go downstairs.

By the time he got downstairs, Li Xuerui was already waiting.

"Tang Rao, where on earth did you go? Why didn't you send even a message? Do you know how anxious I was?" Li Xuerui started berating as soon as she saw him.

Tang Rao: "..."

"Say something, isn't there anything wrong?" Seeing Tang Rao not speaking, Li Xuerui's tone softened a bit.

"Nothing's wrong!" Tang Rao shook his head, "I couldn't help it, you know, with the family and the business, there's always a lot of work to do. Sorry, I'll definitely tell you in advance next time."

Li Xuerui: "..."

She didn't believe Tang Rao's nonsense at all, did he think she hadn't called his home? Even his mom didn't know where he was.

If it weren't for your mom saying you were fine, I would have called the police already.

"Alright, I'll take you out for a meal, my treat as an apology," Tang Rao said.

"I've already eaten."

"You can watch me eat, having a beauty sitting across makes the mood better, and when the mood is good, I eat more, growing and becoming more mature and understanding," Tang Rao put his arm around Li Xuerui's shoulder, in a very affectionate manner.

Li Xuerui didn't expect Tang Rao to put his arm around her shoulder, but for some reason, she did not shrug it off.

Soon, the two arrived at a restaurant outside the university.

They took a seat and ordered, the atmosphere was pleasant.

...

"Xiao Xi, I'm treating you to a meal today, don't be like this, cheer up, you haven't smiled in a long time," at the entrance of the restaurant, Luo Lili was linking arms with Yun Xi, speaking as they walked.

Yun Xi looked visibly distressed, preoccupied and distracted.

"I'll recover, Li Li, no need to worry about me," Yun Xi took a deep breath and said.

"That's good! Men, it's not just Tang Rao out there, take it easy," Luo Lili didn't persuade Yun Xi like before, but chose another approach, perhaps for Yun Xi, forgetting Tang Rao was the way forward.

"I know, I will..." Yun Xi was about to speak, but her voice suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed on a direction in the restaurant.

Luo Lili followed Yun Xi's gaze.

Tang Rao!!

He's back?

The one across him, is that Li Xuerui?!

"Xiao Xi, don't get agitated, calm down first," Luo Lili quickly pulled Yun Xi over to a seat where they could clearly see Tang Rao and Li Xuerui, and even overhear their conversation.

"Tang Rao, be honest with me, where have you been these past few days?" Li Xuerui still wanted to know what Tang Rao had been up to.

"Healing the wounds," Tang Rao said solemnly.

"Healing wounds?" Li Xuerui was confused.

"Yeah, the girl I love doesn't love me back, I definitely need to heal," Tang Rao said while eating a piece of boiled fish.

"Uh, are you talking about Yun Xi?" Li Xuerui asked.

"Who else... So heartbroken, so sad. No, I need to order another serving of boiled fish to soothe my wounded little soul," Tang Rao said.

Nearby, Luo Lili almost laughed out loud, Tang Rao was really something.

Yun Xi was biting her lip, looking somewhat embarrassed and unnatural.

"So have you finished healing now?" Li Xuerui continued.

"The wound is too deep, can't recover," Tang Rao shamelessly said.

"Hey, you're the one who dragged me here! Plus, you're the Eldest Young Master Tang, and you're asking a teacher to foot the bill, have you no shame?"

"If having shame could win over the girl I love..."

Li Xuerui: "..."
