When Bright Moon Encounter the Dark Clouds

Chapter 104: Tan Jiao 14 (3)

Wu Yu did not say anything.

Old Cheng, lets not talk about that anymore. Wu Yu has only just arrived, yet youre already lecturing him. How about this? Why dont you guys stay with us for the Lunar New Year?

Thats a good idea! Professor Cheng said with a smile.

Wouldnt that be troublesome? Wu Yu asked.

I did not expect such a development. Originally, we only intended to scout out the conditions of the Cheng family today. However, such a development was not bad either. Since we were going to save this family and prevent the fire, it would be more convenient to stay here. Knowing when the fire would occur also meant that we were not worried.

Wu Yu did not seem like he would reject the offer either, as it would be too discourteous.

As I was thinking about this, Wu Yu suddenly glanced at me. Immediately, I understood what he meant and replied with a smile. Seeing my smile, he too understood what I meant. It felt great being able to communicate with him without even saying a word.

Before the smile on my face had disappeared, I felt the gaze of Cheng Ruying on me. I looked up at her, and she quickly avoided my eyes.

Thats right Wu Yu, you should stay at our place. I we have not seen you for a long time, Cheng Ruying said.

At that moment, the professors sister, Cheng Baozhu, suddenly spoke up, But brother, there might not be rooms since Zhiwei is coming tomorrow.

The woman we did not recognize also voiced her concern, Thats right. Shouldnt we ask grandma if we're going to have guests stay over?

She looked to be in her mid-twenties and had a pretty V-shaped face. Like Feng Yan and Cheng Ruying, she was dressed well, giving off a wealthy person vibe. When she spoke, she did not seem to be mad nor joyous. It seemed that she was merely saying it.

Feng Yan glanced at her, and then she turned to us to explain. This is our relative, Tang Lanlan. Zhiwei is Baozhus boyfriend. Baozhu, dont worry, we have plenty of rooms. Lanlan, since your uncles most prized student came to visit us in such bad weather, dont you think we should invite him to stay for a bit? If youre going to ask grandma, then go ahead.

Even though Feng Yan sounded calm, I felt a hint of tension between them. Professor Cheng and Wu Yu were enjoying their tea as if they had not noticed what was going on.

Ill go ask grandma, Cheng Ruying said after getting up. She took a look at Wu Yu before leaving.

Wu Yu seemed to have noticed this and took a glance at her.

To be honest, the minor interactions between the two do tick me off. However, I could also somewhat understand how Cheng Ruying felt and why she would fall head over heels for someone like Wu Yu.

I took a good look at Feng Yan too. Even though her makeup was very well done, she did not look too healthy. There were even dark bags under her eyes. Perhaps she had some worries in her mind.

After Cheng Ruying went upstairs, the mood in the living room began to mellow out.

One thing never changed. Even in modern times, a big family like this interacted differently compared to small families. If we were at my parents place, my mom would have started to make dinner while my dad would have showed off his fishing poles to Wu Yu. He probably would have gotten Wu Yu to have a drink or two with him.

With these thoughts in mind, I turned to look at Wu Yus face and immediately felt a warm, fuzzy feeling in my heart.

Not long after, Cheng Ruying came down with a granny. Everyone in the room stood up, so Wu Yu and I also stood up.
