Chapter 119: What A Coincidence

After Su Ruan had fallen into the water, no one was in the mood to play around anymore. Su Ruan had ensured them that she was alright, but her cousins were too worried.

At the side, Long Fei was watching Su Ruan helplessly.

He always wanted to bring Su Ruan close to the lake water so that one day he could introduce his world to her. However, seeing how she had fallen into the lake water twice made him worry.

In this life, he couldn't be anyone else other than Su Ruan. However, it seemed that his journey to bring her to his side would be very difficult.

Taking the thermos from his cousin, Long Fei poured a cup of hot coffee and handed it over to Su Ruan. "Here. Have a drink. It will help you to warm up."

Su Ruan thanked him before she took a sip. Her body warmed up but she was still too embarrassed to look up. Thinking of how she had fallen in front of Long Fei and everyone else was too embarrassing. She continued to stare at the spot where she had fallen and wonder how foolish she looked from falling into shallow water.

"You said you can swim."

The corner of her lips twitched. Su Ruan finally looked up and saw the teasing smile on Long Fei's face.

Her grip on the cup of hot coffee tightened. Su Ruan was too lazy to speak to this man.

Long Fei chuckled, seeing that a certain someone was angry. However, he quite likes the look on her face like this.

"Actually, this is not something to be embarrassed about. It was not rare for someone to get drowned in shallow water." Long Fei coughed. "This could happen to just anyone."

Su Ruan pursed her lips into a thin line. When she looked at Long Fei again, she could see that he was suppressing his laugh.

She finally let out a sigh of resignation.

Forget it. If this happened to anyone else, she would think that this situation was funny.

Su Ruan buried her head between her knees and muttered, "Actually, why do you have to be around each time I fell into the water?"

"Isn't it good that I'm around?" He looked at her in puzzlement. Otherwise, who knew what will happen to her?

Long Fei could not help but wonder what was going on in her mind.

They said that a woman's mind was hard to figure out. Long Fei thought that this saying was true.

"Su Ruan, how are you feeling now? Better?" Ma Wei asked as he walked over to his cousin. He glanced at a certain young master and gave him a look over.

He stepped away for a while and suddenly found his cousin and this Young Master together. He could not help but wonder if anything was going on between them.

As a man, Ma Wei thought that the way Long Fei was looking at Su Ruan was a little strange. As the elder brother, he suddenly had this feeling that he have to protect Su Ruan from Long Fei.

"Cousin Brother, I'm fine."

"Then, let's go back first," Ma Wei suggested. "I'm sure that you have been quite a in shock today."

Long Fei looked away to hide his disappointment. He came over to spend time with Su Ruan after being away. But it seemed that she was going to head home soon.

Both Su Ruan and Ma Yu Xi looked at Ma Wei in shock. They did not expect that Ma Wei wanted to head back earlier. They have planned to play around and head back before the sky turned darker.

Ma Yu Xi was not happy but she could only stay still. She was still feeling guilty about what had happened. If it was not for her, Su Ruan would not fall into the water.

"Ah? No. Cousin Brother, I'm alright," Su Ruan spoke quickly before her cousin could turn around. "It was rare for us to come over and relax. I don't want to go back just yet."

Ma Wei frowned. "Su Ruan, your health is the most important."

"Just now it was an accident. I didn't sit properly and flipped into the water," Su Ruan said. "Actually, I was about to get up but Long Fei was too quick to pull me out."

The frown on Ma Wei's face deepened.

Long Fei?

By now, Ma Wei was convinced that his cousin was close to this young master. Otherwise, she would not address him as such.

Ma Wei shifted his gaze between the two. He had a feeling that the reason Su Ruan wanted to stay around was that Long Fei was around.

He pursed his lips into a thin line as he made his decision. "Alright. We'll stay over for a while. But you have to tell us if you are feeling uncomfortable."

"Mhmm… I know." Su Ruan nodded obediently.

Ma Yu Xi heaved a sigh in relief. She exchanged a glance with Su Ruan and smiled in excitement.

Ma Wei turned to Long Fei and spoke, "Young Master Long, thank you again for your help. You don't have to stay around with us. You should go ahead if you have an urgent matter to attend to."

How can Long Fei not notice that Su Ruan's cousin was subtly asking him to leave?

Long Fei smiled. "Thank you for your concern. But my cousin and I are planning to swim around this area as well."

Ma Wei chuckled. "What a coincidence."

Seeing that her cousin had decided to stay, Su Ruan took off the towel around her body and entered the water again with the floater in her hand before Ma Wei would change his mind.

She waved her hand at Ma Yu Xi, asking her to join her to play in the water.

"Sister Ruan, I'm coming." Ma Yu Xi walked over to enter the lake again. However, her brother had gripped her arm, stopping her from moving forward. Ma Yu Xi looked at her brother inquiringly and spoke, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Ma Wei still had his gaze on Long Fei. "Yu Xi, tell me, what is going on between Cousin Su Ruan and that Young Master Long Fei?"

Her heart skipped a beat, hearing her brother's question. Ma Yu Xi swallowed and looked away from her brother. "Brother, what do you mean?"

"Is Su Ruan close to that young master?"

"I heard that Young Master Long helped Sister Ruan to get a few freelance writing jobs," Ma Yu Xi said. "It's not strange if they are close, right?"

"Really?" Ma Wei rubbed his chin.

"I don't know anything other than that. Brother, I should go and accompany Sister Ruan.." With that, Ma Yu Xi made her escape.
