CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 337: BLOOD JADE BRACELET (3)_1
"What fate does he have? Why does it have nothing to do with me, huh? His life is mine, and so is he. Things that belong to me, I will reclaim with my own hands."
Shangguan You spoke coldly, her eyebrows slightly raised as she looked at Zhuge Feng with a trace of curiosity. She hadn’t expected him to answer her question, but surprisingly, he did. "The position of Family Head of the Zhuge Family is for his future. No matter what, you should not stop him. Moreover, it doesn’t concern you. Whether for him or for yourself, this is the best choice. Girl, if you truly care for him, let go and allow Zhuge Feng to embrace his own destiny."
Zhuge Feng swept his black robe, forcing the Second Young Master of the Ye Family back before soaring into the sky. He seemed unwilling to get entangled with Shangguan You any further, nor did he wish to answer more questions. "Do I know you? Who exactly are you?" Shangguan You suddenly yelled, chasing after Zhuge Feng. Why did Zhuge Feng give her this feeling that was both familiar and strange? This feeling...
"HAHAHA, of course I know you. It’s you, girl, who changed the fate of that boy, Zhuge Feng, completely altering his destiny and leading things astray. If it weren’t for you, things wouldn’t be this troublesome now. But rest assured, while our reputation may not be sterling, we are clear about gratitude and grudges. You saved that boy, so that offsets your previous interference. From now on, that boy has no further connection to you."
Zhuge Feng’s laughter rang out as he clashed with the Second Young Master of the Ye Family.
"Girl, it’s impossible for you to know him. He is the mysterious Family Head of the Zhuge Family," the Third Young Master of the Ye Family said, grabbing her arm as he watched the two fighting in the sky, his eyebrows faintly furrowed. Yet another formidable opponent.
The Zhuge Family’s members were like lingering spirits, hard to avoid no matter where one went.
"Zhuge Family?" Shangguan You whispered to herself, watching the battle move further away, her brows knit tightly. Darkness receded from the sky’s edge, and light gradually rose from the horizon.
"Girl, it’s dawn," the Third Young Master of the Ye Family said softly, reminding the woman in his arms, who was lost in thought, that it was time for her to go home. Otherwise, the secrets she wished to keep would be exposed.
"So what if it’s light? Can’t I face the sun? Will I die if I see the light?" Shangguan You retorted, slightly annoyed, glaring hard at the Third Young Master of the Ye Family. So what if it was dawn?
"Of course not. In that case, let’s watch the sunrise together. We’ve never done that," the Third Young Master of the Ye Family said, his lips curling into a roguish smile. He wrapped his arms around her more tightly, but before he could savor the warmth of the embrace, Shangguan You let out an exclamation.
"Ah, Third Young Master Ye, why didn’t you tell me it was getting light? Did you do it on purpose? If they find out I’m not in my room, I’ll be in huge trouble!" Shangguan You glared at Third Young Master Ye, struggled out of his embrace, stomped hard on his foot, and then sped towards home.
Third Young Master Ye touched his nose. Although her stomp seemed hard, it didn’t hurt at all, and his heart felt a hint of sweetness. Watching her departing figure, he savored the smooth sensation on his hands. A devilish smile played on his lips as he vanished in a flash.
Shangguan You had just flown through the window into her room. She had barely pulled the blanket over herself when the door was pushed open. Liu Ruoling, out of habit, glanced at Shangguan You in bed, adjusted the covers for her, and then left with Shangguan You’s dirty clothes in her arms.
Shangguan You heard Liu Ruoling close the door and her receding footsteps. After taking a few deep breaths to calm her racing heart, she patted her chest. Phew, that was close. Just in time. If Liu Ruoling discovered she hadn’t been there overnight, she couldn’t imagine what would happen. If Liu Ruoling were to sleep beside her every day, what would she do?
Shangguan You took a deep breath. She then flashed into her personal dimension, took a bath, changed her clothes, and finally flopped onto the bed again. She had endured a whole night of insects, flowers, and fighting—it was utterly exhausting.
When she woke up again, the first things she saw were the magnified, grinning faces of Yu Zijin and Gui Luo. She couldn’t help but shrink back. What were these two doing here?
"Youyou, you’re such a lazy little pig! Get up already!" Yu Zijin said, lightly chiding the person who had finally woken up after considerable effort.
"Shangguan You, I really didn’t expect you to be such a heavy sleeper," Gui Luo added with a smile, looking at Shangguan You, who was still nestled in her blankets. It’s already ten o’clock, and she’s still not out of bed. She really can sleep!
"No classes, so naturally I’d sleep in a bit," Shangguan You replied, managing a slight curve of her lips. It took her a moment to articulate the words. She had only returned this morning and had slept for just three hours. She hadn’t had nearly enough sleep; how could she be considered a heavy sleeper?
"Alright, get up. We’re going on a picnic today," Yu Zijin said. She was dressed in a pink and white long dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, exuding youthful vigor.
"Yeah, we’re going on a picnic; we’re just waiting for you," Gui Luo added with a smile. She wore a light blue long dress, her long hair also draped over her shoulders.
Yu Zijin and Gui Luo were dressed very ladylike today. Shangguan You looked puzzled as she surveyed them. Yu Zijin often put on a ladylike act, that much she knew. But Gui Luo, dressed so demurely too? Very strange.
"Youyou, stop looking and get up quickly. I’ve prepared your clothes for you."
"That’s right, hurry up and change."
Without further discussion, Yu Zijin and Gui Luo pulled Shangguan You out of bed, ready to change clothes for the lazy woman themselves.
"I can do it myself! I can do it myself!" The sudden enthusiasm of the two women made Shangguan You feel inexplicably afraid. This sudden, uncharacteristic helpfulness made her wary. She had always believed that when someone was overly attentive for no reason, they were usually up to no good—plotting some mischief or planning a deception.
"Youyou, your skin is so smooth! What skincare products do you use?"
"Yes, and your arms are so smooth too! How is your skin so supple and tender?"
Yu Zijin and Gui Luo chattered while their hands roamed all over Shangguan You. "Girl, are you ready?" Shangguan Qing’s gentle voice came from outside, followed by a light tap at the door. Just as his hand touched the door, it creaked open, and Shangguan Qing, Yu Zifeng, and their group appeared at the doorway.
