Dragon Hidden in Flowers

  "Shen Yao is really Yang Qian's sister, then why one has the surname Yang and the other has the surname Shen?" Xǔ Níng Huán said seemingly casually after Shen Yao and He Meng left.

  "One follows the father's surname, one follows the mother's surname." Di Yu said.

  "Oh." Xǔ Níng Huán lightly responded with a single word.

  Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. The appearance of Shen Yao and He Meng was just a small episode, but it brought subtle changes to Di Yu and Xu Ningxuan's emotions before.

  "It's getting late, Xu Ninghuan, big sister Xu, shouldn't we head back? I have something to do tomorrow." Di Yu casually glanced at the sky and suddenly said, only to realize that Xu Ninghuan was no longer by his side, having fallen far behind.

  Di Yu turned around and saw Xu Ningxuan standing four or five steps behind him, staring at himself.

  "Hmm?" Di Yu looked at her curiously.

  "Di Yu, let's go on a date - I mean the real kind." Xu Ningxuan looked into Di Yu's eyes, fearing he would misunderstand her intention, and added a sentence. All along, they had been pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend in front of Yang Qian and Xu Haicheng.

  Di Yu wasn't surprised at all, he had seen through Xu Ningxuan's intentions early on. To be honest, he also liked her very much.

  Xu Ningxuan has the intelligence and independence of a modern woman, as well as the gentleness and kindness of a traditional woman. She is also a great beauty, and any man who knows how to appreciate women cannot help but fall for her. However, Xu Ningxuan will take the initiative, which is beyond his expectation.

  Xu Ningxuan's face was red, she couldn't express her good feelings to him in front of a man on the street, but with a woman's intuition, Shen Yao's appearance made her feel threatened from the bottom of her heart. Although shy, she looked at Di Yu with expectant eyes, wanting to get his affirmative response.

  Di Yu looked embarrassed and said with a sheepish expression: "You're so direct, how can I be shy... actually, I also quite like you."

  Xu Ningxuan waited for half a day and finally saw such a reaction, almost laughing out loud. What a romantic thing, expressed by this guy in such a ridiculous way. She glared at him fiercely and walked to Di Yu's front, saying: "Di Yu, I'm serious!"

  "Cough cough, I'm serious too." Di Yu saw that Xu Ningxuan was about to lose control and quickly spoke with a stern tone.

  "Really?!" Xǔ Níng Huán asked excitedly, her eyes shining with tears, she was stunningly beautiful after drinking, captivating the heart.

  Di Yu stopped being weird and held Xu Ningxuan's hand, saying seriously: "I'm telling the truth, you're the first girl I've approached with a purpose, don't glare at me - absolutely true."

  Di Yu used the mindset of chasing girls for the first time and used the method of picking up women he learned from the organization, and the object was Xu Ningxuan.

  Xu Ningxuan's heart skipped a beat, remembering the time on campus when Di Yu wanted to help her carry her luggage, but she refused his help. In the end, she didn't know how it happened, but she ended up letting him send her back to her dormitory in a daze. Now hearing Di Yu say this, she pretended to be angry and said: "So you had planned this all along!"

  Di Yu raised his hand as if taking an oath and said hastily, "At that time, I really didn't have any other intention, I just wanted to help you solve the problem, after all, it was my fault that you lost your job, it was all out of kindness."

  "Hmph, you've let it slip out, don't think you can deny it!" Xǔ Níng Huà had been standing still just now, but now she strode forward with quick steps, leaving Dì Yǔ far behind.

  Di Yu smiled slyly, Xue Yingxuan had just boldly expressed herself and now knew to be shy, he wasn't a child anymore, why not hurry up and chase after her. The classic quote from the Emotional Treasure Book - even if it's a reversal, one must still go through the process of the man chasing the woman for it to be perfect.

  "How about it, say something." Di Yu stepped forward and grasped Xu Ningxuan's hand in his palm.

  "What's going on... what are you saying..." Xu Ningxuan deliberately pretended not to understand.

  "Rub it in, this is what you said." Di Yu was helpless, his face changed too quickly.

  Xu Ningxuan turned her head and stared at him, pouting: "What I said? From your tone, it seems you don't want to date me anymore?"

  Di Yu slapped himself and quickly said: "Although it was you who said it, but it's what I've been thinking in my heart. You know that I'm a shy person and not good at talking, how could I not think about it? I even dream about it."

  Xu Ningxuan was delighted in her heart. You're still shy, it's not bad that you don't have a thick skin and are shameless. "Glib tongue, it seems that I need to re-examine you."

  "Let's re-examine, no need." Di Yu said with a bitter face.

  "It's a matter of my lifelong happiness." Xǔ Níng Huán blinked her lovely eyes at Zhōu Yú.

  Di Yu helplessly said: "I don't know how Miss Xu wants to test me?"

  Xu Ningxuan raised her head and thought seriously for a moment, saying: "Give you three chances to ask me out on a date. If you perform exceptionally well, I'll agree to go steady with you?"

  After talking for a long time, the girl also wants to save face and wants the man to take the initiative to chase her. Di Yu understood and smiled: "It's an honor for me."

  "Hehe! Considering you're not bad, I'll let you send me home on our first date." Xǔ Níng Huā smiled sweetly and stretched out her white tender hand, with the air of a princess returning to her palace.

  First date, well this is the first one anyway.

  Di Yu held onto Xu Ningxuan's hand all the way, never letting go. Some things, once grasped, should be tightly held for a lifetime.

  When they reached the door, Xu Ningxuan suddenly used her hand to block Di Yu's chest and said mysteriously: "Close your eyes."

  "Close your eyes?"

  "Hurry up."

  "Oh."

  Di Yu closed his eyes as instructed by Xu Ningxuan, and a faint fragrance like orchids filled the air, making people feel refreshed. A gentle warmth spread across his face, followed by a soft kiss. Xu Ningxuan then performed a classic move with elegance, before lowering her head in silence.

  Di Yu remained unresponsive, still closing his eyes, pretending that nothing had happened, and deliberately said: "Is Ning Xuan okay?"

  Shameless, this is another version of me wanting, I still want.

  Xu Ningxuan didn't know what he was up to again, so she pushed him hard and slammed the door shut, throwing Di Yu outside.

  Di Yu Wàng Mén Kōng Tàn, this is the end. Why wasn't I prepared every time? He knocked on the door twice and shouted: "Ning Xuan, I'm leaving first, I have something to do tomorrow. Remember to tell me next time before kissing me, it's gotten me all flustered and unprepared."

  Ugh! What else do I need to prepare for, this is too much. Xuhui felt her heart racing and her chest tightening as she leaned against the door, almost unable to breathe. Earlier, on the way here, Di Yu's teasing had gone unnoticed, but now that she thought about it carefully, her face was burning with embarrassment. "Oh no, how humiliating."

  Xu Ningxuan stood by the window, watching Di Yu drive away, her eyes filled with happiness and sweetness. Is this what it feels like to be in love? Thinking back to her past relationship with Duan Qi, it was worlds apart. This is what real dating should be like.

  Is this the real feeling of being in love? Di Yu is not a novice, and he's even well-versed in the ways of men and women, but back when he was with Xiao Xian, they were both young, and all they had was passion, worrying about each other's life and death every day, completely unlike now when it's just a faint attachment, with a hint of heartbeat.

  Di Yu drove on the road, sneering at himself, Little Fairy, you shouldn't blame me for this, should you?

  It seems that he has completely blended into urban life, and the feeling of being given by Xu Ninghuan was a luxury in the past.

  "Di Yu, enjoy yourself well! This is the life that belongs to you—"

  Just back to the military district for a short time, Di Yu was preparing to make a phone call with several brothers in the dormitory. Shen Yao took the lead and called over first.

  "Shen Yao?"

  "Heh heh, it's me. Your tone sounds like you're surprised?" Shen Yao asked curiously.

  It's a bit unexpected, didn't we just meet before? "No, what are you looking for me?"

  "Can't you look for me if nothing's wrong?" A very classic and nonsense opening line.

  "Of course not! You're asking about Yang Qian's matter, right?" Di Yu guessed.

  "Huh? How do you know where my sister is?" Shen Yao was extremely surprised, she had heard from Shen Zai Guo that her sister was undergoing secret training and wouldn't be back home for a month, not even Shen Zai Guo knew where her sister went to train, how did Di Yu know.

  If Di Yu and Yang Qian were really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, maybe it would be possible to know, but Shen Yao knowing is what's surprising.

  "I know it's known, but she might be a bit inconvenient now." Di Yu didn't deny.

  "Is it really okay? Then can you see my sister? The day after tomorrow is my birthday, can you help me ask her if she can come home?"
