Chapter 105: Best Friends Turn Enemies

Such a position…

Because she was afraid of getting too close to a man, Lu Yu kept her body straight, avoiding leaning on Fu Li’s back. She maintained an upright posture, with her chest out and head held high. This position was tiring for Lu Yu, and since her body weight was shifted backward, it also made it more exhausting for Fu Li to carry her.

Initially, Lu Yu intended to act as if nothing was wrong and keep her distance. But when Fu Li mentioned it, Lu Yu immediately felt awkward and hastily explained, “I… I was worried you might mind, so…”

A hint of slyness flashed in Fu Li’s eyes, but his voice remained gentle and considerate. “If you keep this position, I’m worried you’ll get tired, and you might easily fall.”

Lu Yu was touched by his words, thinking that Fu Li was indeed a kind and gentle man. She felt embarrassed for doubting his intentions, wondering if he was trying to take advantage of her. But then again, she thought, she was so small—there wasn’t much to take advantage of.

Her face turned red as she quickly shook her head, dismissing her previous thoughts. Biting her lip, she gathered her courage and gently wrapped her arms around the man’s neck.

Being so close, Lu Yu could clearly feel the warmth radiating from the muscles of Fu Li’s back, almost scorching. Her heart began to pound wildly, beating faster and louder with each passing moment. She feared that Fu Li might hear it, and her face flushed with embarrassment. “L-let’s head over there quickly.”

The girl on his back was soft and delicate, with a faint sweet fragrance. The veins on the back of Fu Li’s hand bulged momentarily, then slowly relaxed. After a pause, he replied in a deep, husky voice, “Okay.”

【Ahh, Fu Li really is a sly wolf, always has a trick up his sleeve.】

【Little Yu is so adorable, with her blushing ears, obediently hugging Brother Fu’s neck. She’s so soft and clingy!】

【Dr. Fu must be over the moon right now!】

【Little Yu is so sweet and well-behaved, the big bad wolf is really lucky.】

【Though Dr. Fu might seem like a sly and slightly twisted guy, he’s always been respectful and gentlemanly towards Little Yu, making him feel really trustworthy.】

【You don’t get it—this is a subtle strategy, a trap to lure in the little bunny!】

【Haha, compared to Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan, these two really seem like they’re in a schoolyard romance.】

【Yeah, when Gu Chuan carried Jiang Mi, she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck.】

【They’re like an old married couple.】

【Old married couple? No way, they’re still in the honeymoon phase!】

【Look, look! Bai Ruoruo and Yang Yang are starting to fight!】

【Aren’t they best friends? Why are they fighting?】

【What else could it be? Fighting over a man, of course.】

At this moment, former best friends Bai Ruoruo and Yang Yang were clawing at each other’s eyes, grabbing at each other’s noses, and ruthlessly pulling at each other’s hair decorations.

Yang Yang, having been scratched in the eye by Bai Ruoruo, immediately started crying in a soft voice, “Boo hoo, Brother Mingxuan, my eye hurts so much.”

She didn’t mention Bai Ruoruo’s name, but every word was an accusation against her.

They were indeed best friends—both using the same manipulative tactics.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoruo’s face twisted with anger, and she growled, “Yang Yang, who are you complaining to?”

Yang Yang, frightened, clung tightly to Shen Mingxuan’s neck, calling out dependently, “Brother Mingxuan.”

Bai Ruoruo, not to be outdone, glared at Shen Mingxuan, her eyes filled with angry tears, “Shen Mingxuan.”

Jiang Mi watched with great interest, even making comments, “Yang Yang’s acting skills are impressive—she’s totally outshining Bai Ruoruo.”

Gu Chuan wasn’t interested in their drama, but since it was Jiang Mi speaking, he still responded with a hum.

Shen Mingxuan, caught in the middle, was thoroughly enjoying the attention of two women fighting over him. He glanced at Qin Ling and said proudly, “Ruoruo, be careful not to hurt Yang Yang.”

Shen Mingxuan is actually scolding her for Yang Yang?!

Furious, Bai Ruoruo lunged at Yang Yang’s face with even more ferocity. Originally, Yang Yang had intended to maintain her ladylike demeanor, but Bai Ruoruo’s increasingly heavy-handed attacks pushed her past her breaking point, and she retaliated with even greater force.

Yang Yang’s eye makeup was smeared by Bai Ruoruo’s scratches.

Bai Ruoruo’s ear turned red from Yang Yang’s pinching, and her earrings were flung into the sea.

Yang Yang’s lip was split by Bai Ruoruo, with her lipstick smudged across half her chin.

Bai Ruoruo’s meticulously styled hair was yanked into a bird’s nest by Yang Yang, who even managed to pull out a handful of it.

In no time, the two women were fiercely battling it out.

Meanwhile, Shen Mingxuan and Qin Ling, who couldn’t use their hands, were struggling to maintain their balance as the two girls’ violent movements made it difficult.

Suddenly, Shen Mingxuan felt a sharp pain in his knee and shoulder.

At that moment, Jiang Mi, who had been watching closely, curved her peach blossom eyes and smiled brightly, “The real show’s about to begin!”
