Long Yu Heng watch as his cousin stood up and walked over to him.
A while ago, Long Fei had suddenly come back from his swim around the lake and announced that they would be heading to the town center.
He had thought that Long Fei had an important matter when he asked him to gather a few men with them. It was not until he had seen Su Ruan from a distance away did Long Yu Heng understood the reason they came to this place.
However, Long Yu Heng was puzzled again when Long Fei instructed their men to sit around the bakery and occupy every table.
It was only when he saw Long Fei walk to Su Ruan's table did Long Yu Heng realized that his cousin was trying to get close to Su Ruan.
Long Fei's change of mind was making him happier.
At least he would no longer have to watch the girl like a creepy stalker like he used to be, and finally had his reason to appear by Su Ruan's side.
However, Long Yu Heng quickly thought that something was wrong.
From a distance, it might seem as if Long Fei was chatting with the girls. However, the look on Su Ruan's face was too strange.
This cousin of his… it couldn't be that he did not know how to pick up girls, right?
Or else, why would Su Ruan's face turned pale?
Long Yu Heng straightened his posture as Long Fei came closer. Sensing that Su Ruan and her cousin were still looking in his direction, Long Yu Heng decided not to be anxious and wait.
"What did you tell her?" Long Yu Heng asked the moment Long Fei walked to his side. "Miss Su's face was too pale."
The corner of his lips turned up. "Nothing much. I was just telling them a story."
"What story?" Long Yu Heng's intuition told him that this story shouldn't be anything good.
Long Fei took a sip at his coffee leisurely. "Just an old legend about this town."
His expression turned aghast. "You told them your secret?"
"No. Just that old legend and nothing else." Long Fei saw the puzzled look on his cousin's face and smiled.
Long Yu Heng seemed to have forgotten that when he was soaking in the lake water yesterday, he had shifted into his other form. Therefore, he did not understand why Long Fei had told Su Ruan that legend.
Of course, Long Fei only wanted to test Su Ruan's reaction.
He had thought that Su Ruan had passed out from swallowing too much water. It was only after Su Ruan had turned home that Long Fei suddenly remember this important matter.
After all, Su Ruan had been quite relaxed about it.
He did not expect that Su Ruan had seen him in that form. That was the reason her face turned pale when he had mentioned a dragon.
It seemed that she had not even mentioned this matter to anyone in her family.
The smile on his face widened as he thought about Su Ruanl's easygoing attitude and how she had tried to put this matter in the back of her mind.
Meanwhile, Long Yu Heng had another opinion about his cousin. "Ah Fei, didn't you say that you wanted to make Miss Su stay beside you willingly? Why are you telling her that old legend? Do you know how to pick up girls?"
"I was preparing her. Sooner or later she will have to know about the story. About us," Long Fei said.
Long Yu Heng pondered over his words.
It was decided from their childhood that Long Fei could only be with Su Ruan and no one else. Since that was the case, Su Ruan will have to learn about their family secret sooner or later.
It was not a bad move to let her prepare for it.
At least, when she found out the truth, Su Ruan would not be as surprised
"Besides, Miss Su and I were still unfamiliar with each other. Under that circumstance, how do you think I should start a conversation with them?"
Long Yu Heng pondered over his words and thought that Long Fei's words made sense. However, it was still a little too strange to bring up that old story. Long Yu Heng had an uncomfortable feeling but he did not know what it was.
"Anyway, what do you know about picking up girls?" Long Fei glanced at his cousin in disdain. "As long as I could remember, you are someone who never had a date before." His brow rose. "And now, you are planning to teach me how to pick up girls?"
Long Yu Heng stared at Long Fei unhappily. "I spend most of my time around you. How am I supposed to have a girlfriend if I was babysitting you most of the time?"
"I didn't ask you to babysit me." Noticing that they were standing too close to each other, Long Fei took a step back and looked at his cousin in disdain. "Don't get too close to me. I don't want people to misunderstand our relationship."
His eyes widened as Long Yu Heng stared back in disbelief. 'Hey, what does that mean? Long Fei!"
From where she sat, Su Ruan continued to watch Long Fei as he leave with his cousin. Her brow furrowed as she thought about the story that Long Fei had mentioned.
Could it be that he know something?
"Sister Ruan, what's wrong with you? Ma Yu Xi asked. "Why do you look a little pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Ruan snapped out of her thought and flashed an amiable smile at her cousin. "Am I?" She raised her hands to touch her cheek. "Perhaps, it was a little cold."
"That's right. I forgot that you are not used to the temperature around here," Ma Yu Xi sat up straight and look at her with a serious look on her face. "Then, should we go back to Grandpa's place?"
"That would be a good idea too. Let's come over to the town center another day." Su Ruan was not in a good mood after Long Fei had told them the story. Naturally, she had no objection when her cousin suggested they leave.
The girls picked up their belongings and returned to the pickup truck.
"Yu Xi, why do you think that Mr. Long suddenly brought up that story?" Su Ruan asked as they reached the parking lot.
"Ah?" Ma Yu Xi pondered about the reason and spoke, "Maybe he was just finding a topic to talk to us?"
Really?
Su Ruan had a feeling that things weren't this simple.. Her instinct told her that it was not a coincidence for Long Fei to suddenly brought up the dragon.
