Chapter 1175: 1175: He Is a Little Unhappy

Little Fatty entered and looked at Luo Yirui with a serious expression. Luo Yirui could sense that he was angry, probably because he had heard some news about the cooperation with the Hou Family.

Beside him, Jing Yuansi’s little face was slightly flushed, likely from climbing. She said, "Is it true that you’re allying with Hou Baiyu?"

Luo Yirui turned to look at Jing Yuansi, initially thinking she was questioning him, but unexpectedly, he saw the little stars in her eyes, and her expression of ’you’re amazing,’ which made him feel a bit embarrassed.

He nodded. Since they had received the news, there was no need to hide it. As for the content of the cooperation, naturally, he couldn’t disclose it.

After confirming, Jing Yuansi’s eyes shone even brighter, "Is there anything you need our help with?" As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered something, looking embarrassed, waving her hands and explaining, "I don’t mean to intrude, it’s just... just..."

She wanted to say that she simply wanted to help, but that would sound a bit insincere. Asking if the alliance was real and then asking like this seemed inappropriate, so in the end, Jing Yuansi felt like she wanted to facepalm.

"...I really didn’t mean to ask like that..." Jing Yuansi explained powerlessly.

Luo Yirui knew she really didn’t mean it. Seeing her so embarrassed, he chuckled softly, "It’s alright, I don’t mind." After saying this, he glanced at Little Fatty, who looked betrayed.

Little Fatty knew in his heart that Luo Yirui wasn’t to blame at all, let alone betrayal, it wasn’t a thing, but he also wanted to go!

However, he knew his chances of going were slim, because it required cooperation between the two families. He didn’t even know how Qingyu, this modern family, managed to negotiate cooperation with the powerful Hou Family, and even succeeded!

It’s not that he underestimated Qingyu, but the difference in strength was too great. From the history of the families and their schools, Qingyu only had a history of nearly ten years, while the Hou Family, nearly three hundred years!

Jing Yuansi saw that Luo Yirui really wasn’t mad at her, smiled shyly, and said, "It seems like you have something to do today. I was brought over by Zu Yan, who didn’t seem very happy."

Little Fatty glared, "Who brought you here? Weren’t you supposed to confirm if it was true?" he said irritably. This Jing Yuansi immediately sold him out, despite agreeing they were on the same side!

Little Fatty’s unhappiness was obvious, but Luo Yirui didn’t plan to say much. He didn’t have much say in this matter from the beginning to the end, even though his mother respected his choices, his options were still limited.

The three of them fell silent, the atmosphere slightly awkward. Luo Yirui glanced at his watch, and Little Fatty asked, "Is it almost time?"

Luo Yirui nodded. Even without speaking, Little Fatty and Jing Yuansi could guess it, as they had met Hou Baiyu together.

Little Fatty finally sighed, stepped forward, took Luo Yirui’s hand, and stuffed two paper packets into his hand. "These are two protective fighting talismans my dad gave me before I left home. I probably won’t need them here, so I’m giving them to you now. If the circumstances allow, tell me about it when you get back."

Luo Yirui was momentarily stunned. Jing Yuansi also came up and gave him two fighting talismans, specially made for them by their elders. He felt a slight stir in his heart; although their acquaintance was short, they were indeed very kind.

"I appreciate your thoughts, but I don’t need these items. My mom has prepared everything I need. Don’t worry," Luo Yirui said, feeling a stirring in his heart.
