Chapter 256: Fingers clasped together

"But Shui Bing'er is right. Since you helped us, you not only saved both of us from danger."

"And you also helped our elders. We can't just let this go. So what's your name?"

Shui Bing'er nodded vigorously: "See, not only do I say so, but Xuewu also says so."

"So we must thank you. What's your name?"

Lu Yu originally helped the two of them and really didn't think about any reward, but the two were so persistent, Lu Yu said gently.

"It's okay to tell you my name, but I really don't need your thanks."

"I'm not telling you this just to get your thanks... If you really want to thank me, why don't we just be friends?"

After hearing what Lu Yu said, the two girls looked at each other and had a better opinion and feeling about Lu Yu. Shui Bing'er blinked her beautiful big eyes.

She took the lead in extending her right hand and said to Lu Yu: "Hello, I am Shui Binger, a student of Tianshui College. Nice to meet you."

Lu Yu also stretched out his right hand and gently held the girl's hand. Shui Bing'er's hand had five slender and beautiful fingers when he touched it.

Maybe because her martial soul is the Ice Phoenix, her hands are a little cold, but not icy. This kind of coldness makes people feel very comfortable to touch.

It was like the finest mutton-fat jade, especially since she was still young, her skin was in excellent condition, her hands were thin and smooth, and very soft.

Lu Yu couldn't help but put it in his hand and rubbed it: "Hello, my name is Lu Yu, nice to meet you."

Shui Bing'er naturally felt it. Lu Yu's fingers touched and rubbed the back of her hands and the palms. She was stunned for a moment.

Then his face turned red - what's wrong with this bastard? He actually touched his hand secretly while shaking hands with me.

This was Shui Bing'er's first time shaking hands with a boy. The feeling was wonderful and different from before. Shui Bing'er felt that the unique touch on her hand had always been sticking to her hand.

Lu Yu's palms were broad and slender. When she held his, the joints of his body were very distinct. His palms were dry and warm, unlike her own slightly cool hands.

Especially when he pinched and rubbed his palms and the backs of his hands as if he was being naughty just now, and this feeling was as if it had grown on his hands.

Shui Bing'er quickly hid her hand behind her back, while her other hand kept gently stroking the place where Lu Yu had touched.

This hand wants to replace that feeling of touch, but the idea is good, but no matter how I touch it, that feeling seems to be growing on my hand?

Shui Bing'er was distracted for a moment and didn't even hear Lu Yu's name... because the two people's actions were done in secret.

So even Xuewu, who was standing aside, did not notice anything wrong. At this time, Xuewu had already walked forward and said to Lu Yu seriously: "Hello, I am Xuewu from Tianshui College. Nice to meet you."

She was only busy explaining and greeting the boy in front of her, and then they had to quickly set out on the journey back to the college to tell the dean of the college about the situation here.

Ask them to send people out immediately to rescue the elders...so Xuewu, who gets along well with Shui Bing'er.

At this time, he did not notice Shui Bing'er's abnormality... Lu Yu looked at her and stretched out his hand to shake it again: "Hello, my name is Lu Yu, nice to meet you."

Although Xuewu looked mature in terms of her abilities, this was really their first time interacting with other boys outside of the academy, apart from training.

This feeling is very special and wonderful. For children who are just beginning to understand the relationship between boys and girls at this stage, the impact is quite great.

Xuewu also coughed twice somewhat awkwardly, and looked down at the two people's clasped hands. Maybe it was because they were girls, the skin of the two girls was very fair and delicate.

Lu Yu's hands, on the other hand, had a slightly healthy wheat color. When his two hands were clasped together, the two colors complemented each other, and it looked surprisingly beautiful in a different way.

Moreover, Lu Yu's palms have distinct bones, which makes him look very powerful, but girls' hands have a soft and boneless feeling.

Lu Yu saw Xuewu looking a little dazed, staring at the two people's hands holding together. He didn't know how much of an impact a simple handshake had caused to these two innocent girls.

Because both of them had very good water-based martial spirits, when they were young, as soon as they were diagnosed with martial spirits, the two girls were sent to Tianshui College to study.

Apart from their classmates in the academy, they don’t have the opportunity to often meet people from outside… Many of the boys in Tianshui College have less soul power than them.

They often felt ashamed in front of them. They all looked respectful and afraid, so Shui Bing'er and Xuewu had never had any physical contact with the boys.

Originally, when watching the elders shaking hands with each other, they thought it was a very simple matter, but they did not expect that when shaking hands with Lu Yu, there would be such a big shock.

Originally, Shui Bing'er was feeling a little embarrassed for her previous loss of composure, but now seeing that Xuewu wasn't much better either, she instantly felt relieved.

Xuewu had come to her senses at this time and felt a little embarrassed. She hurriedly wanted to take her hand back, but Lu Yu saw that their relationship was so simple and pure that she was so shy just to shake hands.

There was a hint of teasing in his heart, and before Xuewu took her hand back, Lu Yu's fingers suddenly let go of her hand.

Afterwards, the two palms were placed together, and Lu Yu's hand rotated upwards, and the two people were palm to palm. Xuewu watched the two people's hands change instantly.

The next moment, Lu Yu's five fingers passed through Xue Wu's fingers. He clenched them slightly downwards, and the two of them were clasping their fingers tightly.

And he said to Xuewu seriously, "Don't you like the way I shook hands just now?"

"I see you've been staring for a long time. Now, what do you think of this way of shaking hands?"

After saying that, he shook their clasped hands. Xuewu's face flushed red. She was a little stunned just now, not because she was dissatisfied. What's wrong with this person?

Before she could come to her senses, Lu Yu had already exerted a little force and pulled the person towards him. Xuewu was not aware of it and took a few steps in Lu Yu's direction.

The two were very close at this time, and Lu Yu smiled and said to her: "Look, put your hands down now."

"If we hold it like this, it will save a lot of effort!"

As he spoke, Lu Yu lowered their clasped hands and shook them. Xuewu's face looked like a big tomato.

This time she didn't dare to hesitate anymore. She quickly pulled it out with her little hand and took a few steps back. When she turned around, she saw her good friend Shui Bing'er, who was grinning at her.

This made Xuewu even more shy. She glared at Shui Binger fiercely. It was all because of this bad guy. If she hadn't come here to accompany her, how could she have encountered such an embarrassing thing?

And how could that guy opposite... hold her hand so naturally, it would be too intimate... Xuewu turned her head and wanted to glare at Lu Yu, but when she turned around, she saw Lu Yu looking at her seriously.

As if there was nothing wrong with what he had just done, he even showed a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't understand what happened to Xuewu just now? Why did she suddenly change?

This made Xuewu take back all the words she was about to say. Her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she couldn't help but wonder - could it be that she was overthinking?

This guy was really just simply shaking hands with me. If that was really the case... Xuewu wailed in her heart. The other person didn't feel anything, but she acted as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

It feels like someone is taking advantage of me, which is really embarrassing... Thinking about it this way, maybe I have never been in contact with boys, so I am too sensitive?

Xuewu began to show hesitation on her face. She began to wonder if there was something wrong with her thinking... Maybe she was just too sensitive...

Lu Yu looked at Xue Wu, who was originally shy and evasive, not daring to look him in the eye. Then she glared at him with some annoyance, but now when she saw him, hesitation appeared on her face.

Looking at the expression on her face, Lu Yu knew that this naive girl was probably starting to reflect on herself... Haha, these two little girls are not very worldly-wise. Although they know a little about the dangers of the outside world, they have never actually experienced them.

Therefore, her guard was still a little weak, and Lu Yu stopped teasing her, but said seriously: "I noticed before that you two may have few opportunities to interact with outsiders."

"Although I am aware of the danger, my perception is not strong, just like the handshake just now."

"Since my handshake made you two feel uncomfortable, why don't you question whether the other party did the right thing, instead of doubting yourself?"

"If that's the case, then next time, won't the bad guys continue to bully you even more?"

"So when you go out, no matter what happens, you should be aware of it, as long as you feel uncomfortable."

"You can refuse and not do it. Remember not to force yourself and don't doubt whether you have done something wrong."

"The world is so big, and our future life and journey is so long and far. If we force ourselves to adapt in order to please others, we will not be able to do so."

"This life is a bit too tiring, don't you think?"

The two girls looked at Lu Yu with grim expressions and confusion, not knowing how to evaluate him for a moment - how should they describe the man in front of them?

Obviously, he is about the same age as them, but he acts like an old pedant, controlling them and lecturing them.

Even if he is a bad person, whether before or now, his words are obviously for the two girls and he is thinking about them.

And most of his words made sense. But if he was a good man, then this bastard just now could have told them with words, but he insisted on holding their hands.

This made them look extremely shy, but they couldn't seem to say that, after all, they took the initiative to bring up the matter of holding hands in order to get to know the other person.

No, this guy almost led them astray. They clearly wanted to shake hands politely and just wanted to get to know each other. When they shook hands with Lu Yu, they did a very good job.

I didn't take advantage of that guy at all...but you know what, his palms were big and warm, and they felt pretty good to touch.

Realizing what they were thinking, their faces turned redder... Fortunately, their faces were already very red at this time, so there was no obvious difference.

Shui Bing'er is a person with great ambitions in her mind. She did not overly indulge in or dwell on this matter. She thought seriously about Lu Yu's words.

He turned to Xuewu and said, "He has some truth in what he said. We both need to be more careful in the future."

"It's time for the two of us to go now. The sooner we get to the academy and pass on the news, the sooner the elders can be rescued."

"So, we have to rush to Tianshui College right now. We can't delay any longer."

When Xuewu heard her words, she nodded quickly to show her agreement: "You are right, I almost delayed the important matter."

The two of them didn't care about being shy or not, and waved to Lu Yu seriously again: "Don't worry, we two owe you a favor, and we won't forget it. We will definitely repay you when we have the chance in the future."

After the three of them said goodbye, they left. However, after the two of them walked a short distance, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu couldn't help but turn back and look in Lu Yu's direction.

To his surprise, he discovered that Lu Yu had been standing there, watching their backs as they left, without any move to leave. Now seeing the two of them turning back, he quickly waved his hand.

The two girls felt a little embarrassed when they found out that they were caught peeking at others, but they waved their hands politely and then rode away without any reluctance, speeding away towards Tianshui College.

Seeing that everyone had left, Lu Yu began to re-enter the world of cultivation. The sky gradually darkened, but Luo Shen was still sleeping soundly. It would be difficult to wake Luo Shen up before tomorrow morning.

Since they had nothing to do now, Lu Yu carefully paid attention to the situation around him while thinking in his mind - ever since the two accidents with Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, there had been silence around Lu Yu and his friends, and no one else had come.

After all, at this moment, everyone is rushing towards the Sunset Forest, fearing that they will be left behind or miss some famous scene that spans centuries.
