Chapter 722 - 722: Unrequited Love
Su Yanyu lowered his eyes. “Thank you for telling me, Miss Hu. 1 won’t disturb Miss Yuanyuan. Can you leave me alone?”
He suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
Hu Yu sighed. “I feel bad for you. But 1 believe you can get over it.”
She glanced at Su Yanyu and saw him crying secretly. Hu Yu was shocked and left silently.
Being unable to love was the most painful thing in the world. Seeing how sad he was, she couldn’t even bring herself to tease him.
Hu Yu returned to the kitchen. Liu Yuanyuan was starting the fire. Seeing Hu Yu return, she said coldly, “Is the chicken ready?”
Hu Yu shrugged. “Young Marquis is still processing the chicken. I’ll leave it to the two of you. I’m going to sleep.”
Hu Yu yawned and went out.
Liu Yuanyuan did not say anything. The fire was burning vigorously, and the water quickly boiled. Su Yanyu had yet to bring the chicken over. Liu Yuanyuan stood up and went to the backyard.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Su Yanyu wiping the tears on his face. Liu Yuanyuan was stunned.
After Su Yanyu cried, he felt much better. He stood up and returned to the kitchen.
At least they could still be friends.
Su Yanyu returned to the kitchen and saw that Liu Yuanyuan was starting the fire. He smiled. “Miss Yuanyuan, the chicken is ready. Is the water boiled? I’ll take it to wash the chicken.”
Liu Yuanyuan replied calmly, “Yes.”
Su Yanyu brought boiling water to wash the chicken, and Liu Yuanyuan helped him, but no one said anything.
Liu Yuanyuan recalled what she had just seen and asked calmly, “What worms have you been refining recently?”
Su Yanyu smiled. “1 just refined some to treat my head pain. I’m about to refine a worm that can cure all kinds of poisons. If I succeed, I’ll give it to Miss Yuanyuan. Perhaps it will come in handy one day.”
Liu Yuanyuan looked at Su Yanyu and said coldly, “You don’t have to give it to me. I don’t need it.”
Su Yanyu lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in them. “Alright, then. If Miss Yuanyuan needs it, just tell me.”
Liu Yuanyuan frowned and said calmly, “Okay.”
Her true form was one of the top poisonous snakes in the snake clan. Ordinary poison could not harm her at all.
She wanted to tell Su Yanyu that she didn’t want it, but when she thought of how Su Yanyu was crying just now, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Sometimes, people were very fragile. She did not want to have any feelings for others. Su Yanyu was Liu Sanniang’s disciple, and she did not want to hurt him.
Looking at Su Yanyu’s sad expression, Liu Yuanyuan stood up and left.
Hu Yu turned into her true form and was sleeping comfortably in the courtyard. Liu Yuanyuan walked over and kicked Hu Yu, causing her to roll around. Hu Yu stood up. “Liu Yuanyuan, what are you doing?! I’m sleeping. Don’t think that just because I can’t beat you, you can bully me!”
Liu Yuanyuan said expressionlessly, “Go and help Su Yanyu make chicken soup. I’m going out for a while.”
After giving the order, Liu Yuanyuan left.
Hu Yu stomped her feet. Liu Yuanyuan had already left, so she could only go to help Su Yanyu.
The two of them processed the chicken together and stewed it slowly in the pot. Su Yanyu cleaned the kitchen up. “Miss Hu, there’s nothing else to do here. I’ll go back first. I’ll come to see Shifu tomorrow.”
Hu Yu looked at Su Yanyu and waved her hand. “Go, go.”
Su Yanyu was definitely not in the mood to eat anyway.
After Su Yanyu left, Hu Yu ran to the window and looked in.
The bed curtain was still lowered, but there did not seem to be any movement inside.
What could a man and a woman be doing in the same room for so long?
Bored, Hu Yu went to play with General Black. “General Black, let’s chat. Even Young Marquis is in love. Why don’t you find a partner too?”
General Black rolled his eyes at Hu Yu…
Hu Yu stayed in the kitchen. General Black was not a demon and looked like an ordinary dog. However, Hu Yu felt that it did not look like a dog. How could an ordinary dog be so big?
General Black was almost as big as half a cow. It was strong and mighty. When people saw it, they would automatically retreat in fear.
Those wild dogs even had to lower their heads in front of General Black.
Hu Yu muttered, going off a tangent.
General Black fell asleep at the side.
What Hu Yu wanted to know the most was what Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were doing in the room. Hu Yu said in a low voice, “General Black, aren’t you worried about your master? Break in and take a look. See what the two of them are doing inside.”
General Black stood up and left because he did not want to stay with Hu Yu.
The sky was starting to darken, and there was fragrance wafting out of the kitchen.
Liu Yuanyuan had already returned. The fragrance of the chicken soup made her salivate.
Hu Yu swallowed her saliva. “I didn’t expect myself to be so good at cooking. If my mother knew, she would be proud of me.”
Liu Yuanyuan sneered. “Did you cook this?”
Hu Yu snorted arrogantly. “I helped, so in a way, yes, 1 cooked this.”
Liu Yuanyuan sneered.
Hu Yu rolled her eyes. “I don’t want to argue with you. I’ll go and see if Venerable Liu is up.”
Liu Sanniang had been awake for a while, but seeing that Chu Yan was still asleep, she did not move.. However, now that Hu Yu had come to wake them up, she could only push Chu Yan and say softly, “Can we get up now?”
