Chapter 2154: Long-awaited Reunion Day

What on earth was going on? Lu Yue was filled with confusion and bewilderment. Who was this woman who suddenly appeared? Why did she act like this right away? Just as Lu Yue was stunned, he suddenly felt someone gently pat his shoulder.

Lu Yue suddenly came to his senses and turned his head to see a handsome young man with curly hair standing behind him. However, a closer look revealed that the young man's eye sockets were sunken and slightly darkened, and it was obvious that he had not had enough rest in the past few days.

"Let's go, little brother."

The young man said to Lu Yue with a smile.

"Let them be alone for a while. Someone might feel embarrassed if we keep watching them."

After saying that, he grinned at Lu Yue, revealing a row of white teeth.

Lu Yue nodded somewhat dazedly, seemingly still not fully recovered. His eyes followed the young man's movements, and he saw him raise his thumb, then point behind him.

Lu Yue then realized that the young man was going to take him out of the teahouse. He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow the young man. After all, it was a bit awkward to stay here, and he didn't know how to deal with the situation.

When Lu Yue slowly pushed open the door to the teahouse, he had no idea of ​​the lively scene outside. Besides the man who had just called him out, there were three other people standing there quietly.

One of the boys was stocky and gave off a somewhat honest vibe, but his muscular build gave off an air of formidability. Lu Yue couldn't help but stare at him a few more times, secretly speculating about his personality and background.

Next to this boy stood a young couple. They stood side by side, arms folded, faces filled with delighted smiles, peering curiously through the crack in the door at what was happening inside the teahouse. Lu Yue's gaze fell on the boy, and a wave of jealousy welled up in his heart.

This boy's appearance was truly outstanding. His facial features were clearly defined, his eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were bright, and beneath his high nose bridge, his lips were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. Even Lu Yue, who had always been quite confident in his appearance and considered himself somewhat handsome, suddenly felt a surge of pressure after seeing this boy.

Just as Lu Yue was sighing inwardly, there was a soft bang, and the door of the tea room was gently closed by Tong Chengcheng. He looked at Zhao Ling and Fu Yu with an impatient look and scolded them.

"What are you looking at? Give me some privacy, please!"

After being interrupted by Tong Chengcheng, Zhao Ling and Fu Yu looked away like startled birds. Zhao Ling coughed awkwardly twice, then retorted as usual.

"Who watched it? I was just taking a look."

"Besides, you're acting as if you're not curious at all. You're probably just afraid that Ye Ye will figure it out and settle the score later!"

"I'm not like you, Peeping Tom!"

Just as the two were about to quarrel again, Fu Yu felt a splitting headache. He quickly stood up and walked quickly between the two of them, separating their sight like a wall.

"Hey, both of you, can you please stop arguing? This isn't Blue Star. We should keep a low profile!"

Fu Yu said helplessly.

After Fu Yu interrupted them, the argument between the two men quieted down considerably, even seeming to die down. However, Lan Yunsheng was a man of action. He took advantage of the opportunity to walk up to Lu Yue, extended his right hand with a smile, and introduced himself.

"Hello, my name is Lan Yunsheng."

Seeing this, Lu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, someone noticed him. He quickly reached out his hand, shook Lan Yunsheng's tightly, and said.

"Hello, big brother, my name is Lu Yue!"

Hearing Lu Yue calling him "big brother", the smile on Lan Yunsheng's face became even brighter. He nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this young man is quite sensible!

However, what Lan Yunsheng didn't know was that the reason why Lu Yue called him that was because the shock Ye Ye had given him before was too exaggerated.

You know, all the people that Ye Ye introduced Lu Yue to were big figures who could dominate a region.

Therefore, when facing the sudden appearance of Lan Yunsheng and others, Lu Yue did not dare to have the slightest contempt for them, for fear of offending them accidentally.

"Alright, stop being polite with him. We're all the same age, why call me big brother? My name is Tong Chengcheng. We'll probably be fighting together in the future. As locals here, we're afraid we'll have to cause you a lot of trouble."

Seeing the secret joy on Lan Yunsheng's face, Tong Chengcheng interrupted their pleasantries and spoke to Lu Yue.

After hearing Tong Chengcheng's words, Lu Yue quickly shook his head and said.

"Brother Chengcheng, please don't say that. It's my honor to know people like you and Brother Lan. If you need any help from me in the future, just let me know."

"And it's not a big deal at all! I've also received a lot of favors from Brother Ye. Even being able to attend the gifted class is thanks to Brother Ye."

Hearing Tong Chengcheng's words, Lu Yue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, he had just had some doubts about Lan Yunsheng and the others' attitude. However, at this moment, his impression of them had undergone a drastic change. These people seemed so friendly, completely different from the self-righteous attitudes of Cui Yingying, Li Lingzhi, and Tian Qi.

After Tong Chengcheng introduced herself, Zhao Ling and Fu Yu also gave their names one by one. Lu Yue hurriedly memorized these names, fearing that he would forget them.

After a brief acquaintance, Lu Yue finally couldn't suppress his inner curiosity and gossip. He looked at Tong Chengcheng quietly, as if he wanted to get some explanation from him about the scene just now.

"Brother Chengcheng, what's going on in there...Brother Ye..."

There was a hint of urgency in Lu Yue's voice; he really wanted to know what had just happened.

Tong Chengcheng was a little surprised when he saw this. He originally thought that Lu Yue should know about Ye Ye's situation. So, he answered subconsciously.

"Huh? Didn't Ye Ye tell you? That's his girlfriend. We haven't seen each other for so long, and it was a sudden separation. It's inevitable that she would be a little out of control when they meet. That's normal."

When Lu Yue heard this answer, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "Huh?" he cried out. He had never thought that Ye Ye actually had a girlfriend. He couldn't help but recall every little thing he had done with Ye Ye, but Ye Ye had never mentioned this to him.

However, unexpectedly, a strange and unpredictable look soon appeared on Lu Yue's face. He thought thoughtfully in his heart.

Brother Ye didn't respond at all to Cui Yingying and Tian Qi's outwardly expressed feelings. At first, he thought Brother Ye was simply slow to react, but now it seems that this is not the case...

Lu Yue's performance made everyone present wonder, is there some unknown secret? However, perhaps even Lu Yue himself did not expect that Ye Ye is actually an out-and-out straight man. When it comes to emotional matters, he is indeed quite slow.

As for the matter between Ye Ye and Su Ziwu, for a straight man like Ye Ye, he would not talk about it casually outside. After all, he is a person who pays great attention to privacy and is not good at expressing his emotions.

Tong Chengcheng, Lan Yunsheng, Fu Yu, and Zhao Ling noticed Lu Yue's strange expression, and a shrewd glint flashed in their eyes. Clearly, they all sensed something unusual; there must be something behind this!

Just when the four of them were about to question Lu Yue thoroughly, Ye Ye's voice suddenly came from the tea room.

"Uh...why do you feel thinner?"

Ye Ye was hugging Su Ziwu tightly, but his body was incredibly stiff, like a tree that had been dead for a thousand years, completely devoid of any natural feeling. Furthermore, he didn't know where to place his hands. Putting them up didn't seem right, while putting them down also felt awkward. In the end, they could only stand straight in the air, looking ridiculous.

However, when the girl's soft body pressed against him, Ye Ye clearly felt a strange touch. This touch was both strange and familiar, like the intimacy of reunion after a long separation, but it also seemed to hide some unspeakable alienation.

Ye Ye's eyes unconsciously fell on the side of the girl's face. Although it was just a quick glance, he could still see that Su Ziwu was much thinner than before. Her once round cheeks had become more angular, and her once bright eyes seemed to be shrouded in a faint haze.

"You disappeared without a word. Do you know how many people are worried about you?"

There was a hint of blame and helplessness in Su Ziwu's voice. Obviously, he felt a little resentful about Ye Ye's leaving without saying goodbye.

Facing Ye Ye's question, Su Ziwu did not answer directly, but chose a way to answer the question irrelevantly. Although her words sounded somewhat irrelevant, Ye Ye could hear some hidden meanings between her words.

“I was also forced…”

Ye Ye's voice was slightly low, with a hint of helplessness.

Who would want to come to a place like this when they can just stay and develop in their own base?

Just as Ye Ye was lost in thought, Su Ziwu suddenly chuckled without warning. That laughter was like the first ray of sunshine in spring, gentle and warm, instantly penetrating the haze between the two of them, as if the whole world became brighter because of this laugh.

"Why, after just a few days of not seeing each other, you're already a little estranged?"

Then, Su Ziwu slowly loosened her arms, which had been tightly wrapped around Ye Ye, as if everything that had happened before was just a fleeting dream that gradually dissipated as she let go. However, her eyes were slightly red, and it was obvious that the emotional fluctuations just now were extremely intense for her.

Su Ziwu slowly raised her head and gazed at Ye Ye's face. Her eyes revealed a complex emotion, a mixture of joy at reunion and a hint of indescribable shyness. Ye Ye quietly looked at the girl before him, a chord in his heart seemingly plucked gently, an impulse welling up within him.

At this moment, Ye Ye did not hesitate at all. He quickly stretched out his arms, tightly wrapped around Su Ziwu's body, and hugged her tightly again. This time, he did not speak, but just hugged Su Ziwu quietly, feeling her warmth and presence.

........

Half an hour flew by. At this moment, Ye Ye and Su Ziwu's complexions were rosy and radiant, a stark contrast to their previous expressions. However, the other five people present had a strange look in their eyes, leaving a tinge of unease.

Especially Zhao Ling, his eyes fell on Ye Ye from time to time, and he raised his eyebrows at Ye Ye from time to time, as if saying: "Hey, I'm an experienced person!"

This expression made Ye Ye feel uncomfortable all over, as if sitting on pins and needles.

Finally, Ye Ye couldn't bear it anymore. He glared at Zhao Ling and said unhappily.

"Are your eyes uncomfortable? Why do you keep blinking at me..."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and irritation in his voice.

To be honest, Ye Ye was actually very excited to see so many old friends at once. After all, in this completely unfamiliar place, being able to have so many familiar faces around him meant that he was no longer alone!

However, this meant that Ye Ye's worries were snowballing. After all, once he was no longer alone, the targeting and containment he faced would spread like ripples, becoming increasingly widespread. This undoubtedly brought him even more pressure and challenges, like a mountain pressing down on an egg, making him feel a little breathless.

"Cough cough..."

In response to Ye Ye's words, Fu Yu suddenly pinched Zhao Ling's thigh hard under the table. The pain made Zhao Ling shudder. He quickly cleared his throat and coughed twice in a fake manner to cover up his embarrassment and discomfort.

"Okay, stop dawdling and tell me, why did you come here so suddenly?"

Ye Ye didn't seem to notice Zhao Ling's abnormality. He paused for a moment, then went straight to the point.

However, in response to Ye Ye's question, Tong Chengcheng, Zhao Ling, Lan Yunsheng and Fu Yu seemed to have discussed it beforehand. No one spoke, but they all turned their eyes to Su Ziwu who was sitting next to Ye Ye.

Seeing this, Ye Ye couldn't help but feel a little confused. He slowly turned his head and followed the gaze of everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Su Ziwu.

"It was my idea."

"Ok?"

Hearing Su Ziwu's words, Ye Ye hummed in confusion.

"It's like this. At that time, Leon suddenly visited Blue Star..."

Time goes back to a few days ago, when Leon was about to leave Blue Star...
