The demon master was beaten up

Chapter 196 Helping Brothers Find Love

Meanwhile, Zhang Sulan was nibbling at the rabbit leg in her hand, her eyes wandering, as if her thoughts were far away. She chewed her food thoughtfully, nodding slightly in response to Bai Nini's words.

Seeing this, Bai Nini did not stop talking, and continued to share enthusiastically while eating roasted chestnuts: "Actually, I used to think that a rich young man like Qin Nuo must find a girlfriend who is of equal social status. But then I thought about it carefully, are these external conditions really that important? As long as he really likes me, and I love him as much, isn't that enough! Why bother with family background and identity differences? If you put aside the so-called family background and judge him purely by his character and appearance, I think if I miss him like this, I will definitely regret it! So, I think it is the wisest thing for him to like me!" After saying this, Bai Nini's face was filled with happiness and confidence.

Hearing this, Zhang Sulan slowly came back to her senses. She smiled slightly, leaned her head affectionately on Bai Nini's shoulder, and said softly: "Our Nini is so kind and lovely, of course she deserves the best things in the world!" Her tone was full of pampering and cherishing.

Bai Nini looked at Zhang Sulan seriously and said solemnly, "Sister Lan! I really think that someone as good as you is completely worthy of having the best things in the world! If you're always thinking about Xu Chen needing a wife who can get along well in social situations, then in my opinion, you've probably already fallen in love with him! Because only when you truly care about someone will you put yourself in their shoes and think about things from their perspective!"

Hearing this, Zhang Sulan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking to herself: "Could it be true as Nini said? Could it be that I really have fallen in love with that guy?"

At this moment, Bai Nini suddenly leaned close to Zhang Sulan's ear and said in a low, mysterious voice, "Sister Lan, let me tell you another secret! Xu Chen's father is a well-known henpecked husband in Shenghai. At home, he obeys his wife's every word and is terrified of her! And there's something even more interesting. I heard that his mother has always suspected that her son is gay. She's worried all day long, afraid that one day Xu Chen will bring a grown man home. That would really cause a big uproar! Hahaha..."

It turned out that Qin Nuo had told Bai Nini all this information as a joke before. But now, in order to help Zhang Sulan better understand Xu Chen, Bai Nini relayed it to her without hesitation.

"Then why doesn't he find a girlfriend?" Zhang Sulan asked curiously.

Bai Nini's mouth was full of roasted chestnuts. She muttered, "Isn't it because I haven't seen the person I like? It's rare that this wooden fish lump is in love with you, but you don't like him!"

Zhang Sulan looked embarrassed, her lips trembling as she said, "I really don't know how to deal with this situation. I simply think that we are from completely different worlds. Besides, we have only known each other for just two days, and he asked me to be his girlfriend so quickly. This really makes me feel at a loss..."

Bai Nini on the side raised her eyebrows slightly, and skillfully turned the fat pheasant on the fire with her hands, and responded in a relaxed and casual tone: "Oh, if that's the case, why not start by being ordinary friends! We can take this opportunity to get along more and get to know each other." After that, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Zhang Sulan remained silent. She slowly raised her eyes, looking past the crowd to Xu Chen, who stood quietly not far away. Xu Chen's deep eyes stared straight at her, as if he could see through her. Instantly, Zhang Sulan felt a scorching heat surge up her cheeks, her entire face instantly turning red and hot, as if it had been burned by a raging fire.

Time slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. As the group prepared to embark on their return journey, each of them, carrying a heavy load of wild boar on their shoulders and bags filled with all kinds of delicious fruits, happily walked towards the village. The atmosphere was lively and cheerful, with laughter and chatter all the way.

After returning to the village, Bai Nini seized the opportunity, quickly walked over to Xu Chen, and said in a low voice, "From what I see, Sister Lan is actually quite interested in you. It's just that you were too eager this time, so you scared her!"

Hearing this, Xu Chen subconsciously reached up to push his glasses up on his nose. With a firm and confident look in his eyes, he replied, "Don't worry, I know exactly what she's worried about. It's true that my actions were too rash, but I'll definitely be more careful next time."

At dinner time, the steaming dishes on the table exuded an enticing aroma, but everyone noticed that Xu Chen's seat was empty. Qin Nuo couldn't help but frown in confusion and asked, "Where did Brother Chen go? Why haven't we seen him yet?"

Lu Wenjie, who was sitting next to him, had a grin on his face and replied nonchalantly, "Brother Chen went back! He left in a hurry, saying that there was an emergency at home that required him to go back and deal with it."

Hearing this, Zhang Sulan was slightly startled, her chopsticks pausing mid-air. She pursed her lips slightly, then slowly lowered her eyes, her thick lashes like two small fans obscuring the fleeting dejection. Then, as if trying to conceal her inner emotions, she silently lowered her head and began to concentrate on eating. However, despite her efforts to appear calm, others could still detect a hint of something strange in her slightly stiff movements and silence.

As night fell, the stars twinkled as everyone gathered around the dining table, enjoying a sumptuous dinner. Laughter and joy filled the air, and the warm lights illuminated every face. However, as time passed, the snow on the mountain grew heavier, drifting down like goose feathers, covering the entire world in a blanket of white.

As the night deepened, the chill grew stronger, and everyone felt a little sleepy, so they said goodbye to each other and returned to their rooms to rest. The room was filled with tranquility and warmth, and everyone fell asleep quickly, looking forward to waking up the next day to see a beautiful world covered in snow.
