Chapter 111: The Mood Had Disappeared

After Yu Zhi Yi had left, Su Ruan could not help but feel awkward around Long Fei.

She could tell that Yu Zhi Yi has been quite rude towards Long Fei but she did not know how to explain Yu Zhi Yi's behavior.

In fact, Su Ruan could not understand what was going on with her best friend. His action was very… strange.

"I'm sorry."

Long Fei's voice snapped her out of her trance.

Su Ruan turned around and saw him flash an apologetic smile at her. Her brow rose as she wondered why was he apologizing to her.

"I saw that the man was making you uncomfortable," Long Fei said. "I understand if you are angry that I have overstepped my border."

It took her a while to understand what Long Fei was apologizing for. Previously, he had introduced himself to Yu Zhi Yi as her boyfriend.

Her face turned warmer but Su Ruan quickly suppressed her feelings. "It's fine. I… don't mind it."

In fact, Su Ruan was relieved that Long Fei's words had made Yu Zhi Yi leave.

After seeing him with Shen Yue early that morning, Su Ruan had decided that she did not want to meet him until his wedding day.

She did not want Shen Yue to misunderstand her relationship with Yu Zhi Yi. Since he had found the person that he loved and was going to marry, she should keep her distance from him.

Long Fei stared at the woman in front of him with a mixed feeling. He wanted to continue their talk from earlier. However, it doesn't seem like a good time to do so.

The mood from earlier had already disappeared.

That person… had already ruined everything for them.

Long Fei turned to the direction where Yu Zhi Yi had left earlier and asked, "That man… is he an ex-boyfriend?"

Hearing his question, Su Ruan turned and stared at him for a long time. After a while, she let out a laugh. "No. He's not. He's… only a friend. It was just that… I'm trying to keep my distance from him."

Long Fei raised a brow at her words.

"He's getting married soon and his fiance did not seem to like that another woman was close to him," Su Ruan explained.

"So, it is like that." Long Fei heaved a breath with relief upon knowing that Su Ruan and Yu Zhi Yi's relationship was not as he had thought. A faint smile curled on his lips. Long Fei took a deep breath and spoke, "Should we continue and head to the square?"

Su Ruan nodded. "Let's go. Otherwise, we might not get a good spot to enjoy the performances."

The two of them continued to walk towards the square. Long Fei lowered his head and put on a mask to cover half of his face. He glanced at Su Ruan and smiled. "I hope you did not mind me putting on a mask."

"Mmm… I heard that you are very popular in the town. I understand if you did not want to be recognized."

Long Fei laughed. As they walked further toward the square, it was getting difficult for them to move around without bumping into another person.

A few children were running around in the street. Noticing that one of them was about to bump into Su Ruan, Long Fei wrapped his arms around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him.

Her eyes widened in surprise and her heartbeat accelerated at his sudden action. Su Ruan bit her lower lips as his fresh and familiar scent entered her nose.

However, a few seconds later, Long Fei had already released his grip around her shoulder.

Su Ruan took a deep breath to calm down. However, the next moment, Long Fei had already clasped her hand in his. Su Ruan was starting to feel a little dizzy with everything that happened to her.

Her heart was jumping around and she had no time to calm down.

"There are many people around. Let's walk like this. Otherwise, we might get separated."

Su Ruan raised her head to look around. There were indeed a lot of people around. If they are not careful, they might get separated.

She nodded and let Su Ruan hold her hand tightly.

After walking for a certain distance, Su Ruan had finally gathered her thoughts and calmed down. They finally reached in front of the big stage where the townspeople gathered and waited for the Old Master Long to appear.

Long Fei led her to a spot where they could get a clear view of the stage.

The people around them were whispering and discussing the next events.

Su Ruan turned to Long Fei and tried to initiate a conversation. "I heard from my cousin that Old Master Long will come over to give his speech."

"My grandfather?"

Su Ruan touched the tip of her nose and coughed.

How could she forget that the person is Long Fei's grandfather?

"Are you curious about him?" Long Fei raised a brow.

"Of course." Su Ruan laughed. "I heard from my cousin that he is someone who was loved by everyone in this town. Everyone in this town was looking forward to hearing his speech."

Soon, the townspeople began to cheer and a group of four men was seen escorting an older man on stage.

Seeing how everyone was treating the old man with respect, Su Ruan quickly made her guess that this man was no other than Long Fei's grandfather.

Although she was too far and could not get a clear look, Su Ruan could tell that Long Fei's grandfather was someone who was very healthy. His hair was white but his body stood straight on the stage.

Su Ruan glanced at the man beside her and noticed that the air around him seemed to change when he saw his grandfather on the stage.

On the stage, Long Yuan watched the townspeople cheering and raised both hands, signaling them to keep their voice down.

In just a few seconds, the lively square turned silent.. Long Yuan stood at the podium and began to give his speech.
