Chapter 532 Does it really matter who you like?
Lu Yangyang looked at him in confusion, then at the obedient Xiu Niang beside her, "I don't need you to take care of me, I'll take care of myself."
She originally brought Xiu Niang to the street to find a place to provide free medical consultations. Although Prefect Ling exposed the true face of Daoist Shangqing and sealed off all the Taoist temples, telling the people that they needed to see a doctor when they were sick, Yuzhou had not had a doctor for several years. Even if the people accepted the fact that Daoist Shangqing was a fraud, they still had some concerns and fears about seeing a doctor.
She wanted to teach Xiu Niang medicine, but she didn't just want to teach her what was in medical books. She believed that reading and applying the knowledge would help her learn faster.
Free clinics are a great opportunity.
Lin Wuji thought Lu Yangyang had misunderstood him, and said confidently, "Although I've never taken care of children before, I can help if you ask."
Lu Yangyang was completely confused: "What are you talking about?"
Lin Wuji blurted out, "Weren't you going to release lanterns with me?"
Lu Yangyang: "..."
"I'm not just killing time." Lu Yangyang walked to the table, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.
Lin Wuji also sat down, picked up a teacup as a cover, pretended to drink tea, and then secretly observed Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang thought for a moment, then decided not to beat around the bush and asked him directly, "Do you like me?"
"Pfft!" Lin Wuji spat out all the tea he had just drunk, staring blankly at Lu Yangyang, his ear tips visibly turning red.
After he fell for Lu Yangyang, he tested her many times and imagined many times the scene of confessing his feelings to her. But he never dreamed that Lu Yangyang would ask directly. She actually asked directly!
"Cough cough cough," Lin Wuji coughed violently, feeling his brain buzzing.
He had asked many people how to pursue a girl and what it felt like, but he never imagined it would be like this!
Lu Yangyang kindly pushed the tea and snacks on the table toward him: "Have some snacks to calm your nerves."
Lin Wuji's ears turned red, and now even his neck turned red. The rush of blood to his head made his face burn.
He tried hard to suppress the itch in his throat, and his eyes became a little watery from holding it in.
Lu Yangyang wasn't stupid; judging from his behavior, he probably really meant it.
That's... pretty unbelievable.
Lin Wuji had just calmed down a little when he saw Lu Yangyang's indescribable expression. He couldn't help but get annoyed: "Lu Yangyang, what's with that expression? What's wrong with me liking you? Is that so strange?"
“It is strange,” Lu Yangyang replied subconsciously, then quickly added, “I don’t think you are strange, I just think this whole thing is quite strange.”
Lin Wuji clenched his fists.
He once thought he was a very mature person, and he rarely lost control of himself. But at this moment, he felt like he had returned to the age of fifteen or sixteen, impulsive, frustrated, uneasy, and still childish.
“When Zhiyi came back and told me about this, my first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible. I thought that when you asked me before if I had someone I liked, you were just being nosy,” Lu Yangyang said.
Lin Wuji's fists hardened as he glared at Lu Yangyang through gritted teeth: "You, are you even a girl? Is there any girl as oblivious and unromantic as you?"
Is he meddling in other people's business? If he's so nosy, why doesn't he meddle with others?
Lin Wuji couldn't believe he was hearing such words.
He was so angry that his chest heaved, and he wished he could stand up and leave on the spot.
But Lu Yangyang has been so open and honest. If he just stood up and left, wouldn't that make him look incredibly shameful?
Lin Wuji, as if treating the tea on the table as wine, took a big gulp.
Lu Yangyang frankly stated, "I'm not oblivious, I just don't have many thoughts about relationships. If you were to tell me directly, I would only tell you that I don't like you. If you want me to feel it, I'm sorry, I really can't."
Lin Wuji was stunned, but he still managed to glean the words, "I don't like you."
He stared blankly at Lu Yangyang, then blurted out, "So who do you like? That cousin of mine, Wen Que?"
Lu Yangyang nodded: "Yes, I like him."
Lin Wuji looked at Lu Yangyang with a complicated expression. He hadn't expected Lu Yangyang to be so honest, so honest that there was no room for doubt. If she liked someone, she liked them; if she didn't like someone, she didn't like them.
As the leader of the Salt Gang, countless women had tried every means to seduce him, but this was the first time she had so bluntly said she didn't like him.
He slammed his fist on the table, ready to get up and leave. So what if he was rejected? What's the big deal?
But he still wouldn't give up. He knew from the beginning that she had someone she liked. He was just unwilling to be outdone by someone he had never been a part of. She hadn't even gotten to know him yet, so how could she be so sure that she didn't like him?
"What do you dislike about me? What do you like about him?" Lin Wuji asked defiantly.
Lu Yangyang countered with, "Then what do you like about me?"
Lin Wuji was immediately stumped by her question.
What does he like about Lu Yangyang?
Perhaps it's that special energy?
He hadn't read many books and couldn't describe it, but from the first moment he saw her, her stubbornness—despite making herself look so disheveled, yet refusing to admit defeat or bow her head—had a fatal attraction for him. Once, twice, three times, he was irresistibly drawn to her.
From then on, he viewed all women in the world as bland and tasteless.
Only she was dazzling.
“You are special,” Lin Wuji said, looking at Lu Yangyang. Even now, after she rejected him like this, all he could see in her eyes was her specialness. She was different from all the women in the world.
Lu Yangyang hadn't expected this answer. She thought for a moment and said, "But there are many special women in this world. All the women I know are special. If you like me because of this, you can like others too. There will always be people more special than me in this world. As you can see, you also think I'm slow and clueless about romance. Maybe you'll meet a woman who is even more special, not slow, and has a good understanding of romance."
"You!" Lin Wuji felt as if he had been hit by a boomerang, which pierced straight into his heart.
"Is this your reason for not liking me?" Lin Wuji glared at her angrily. "And what about him? What do you like about him?"
“I like him… Let me like myself first, and then I can consider liking someone else,” Lu Yangyang replied earnestly.
Lin Wuji didn't understand: "What kind of liking is this? Do you even know what liking someone means?"
"I don't know, but does it matter? I have many things to do in my life, and whether I like someone or not is just one of them. I'll find out eventually, does it matter?" Lu Yangyang frowned slightly. "Does liking someone really matter that much?"
