When Lan Qi registered Su Yu's answer, his pupils dilated. The corners of his mouth curled into a grin he couldn't suppress.
He fought the urge, but in the end, he couldn't resist. He rushed forward, swept Su Yu into his arms, and spun her around on the spot, utterly elated. "This is wonderful! Thank you, Yu Yu!"
Su Yu cried out in surprise. As they spun, her foot flew out and smacked the back of Huai Xu's head.
Caught completely off guard, Huai Xu stumbled forward and—SPLAT!—his entire face planted itself in the soft, rain-loosened mud.
Su Yu: "!!!"
The color drained from her face. "Huai Xu!"
Lan Qi: "!!!"
'Oops. I haven't even officially joined the den, and I've already made an enemy.'
Shengqing, who was cleaning a room inside, heard Su Yu's cry and rushed out. The moment he saw Lan Qi holding her and pressing against her pregnant belly, his expression instantly darkened.
