My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 43

“Miss Liu? Are you alright?”

“I…I…I’m fine, really, I just…I…I’m so sorry, I just wanted to try holding hands…”

Liu Nuanyu’s vague explanation left Sun Du completely bewildered. Why should she try it? Was this girl scared by the plot of the female lead in the movie?

Sun Du: “Is it because of the plot of this movie that you want to hold hands?”

“I…I…just wanted to try…”

Theoretically speaking, that’s one reason why Liu Nuanyu wanted to try it out after seeing the sweet animation of the male and female leads holding hands in the movie.

Sun Du: “Does holding hands make you feel at ease?”

“……meeting……”

Liu Nuanyu said softly.

“Alright, then let’s hold hands.”

Sun Du didn’t interfere anymore. The movie had scared the girl so much that she even instinctively grabbed his hand. Sigh, it was still his fault. Let her do whatever she wanted.

When Liu Nuanyu saw that Sun Du had actually allowed her to do this intimate thing, could it be that… he really liked her? And, and she… she didn’t dislike this feeling at all. She felt… a kind of inexplicable joy, a feeling she had never experienced before, not even when she was with Lu Xiaoxiao (if you knew Lu Xiaoxiao was a man, you might have felt that way too).

“So… I actually… also have feelings for Mr. Sun?”

This was within Liu Nuanyu’s expectations, after all, Sun Du understood her and had done a lot for her, but… she didn’t think this was the feeling of being in love.

“Try again, try again…”

Liu Nuanyu felt it was best not to jump to conclusions, so she tentatively touched her again…

“Hmm~ This is a strange feeling. My mind is a bit muddled, I can’t think clearly, my heart is beating fast, and my body temperature is rising… It’s strange, but… I don’t dislike it…”

After getting used to it a little, Liu Nuanyu’s movements were still cautious, but her behavior became bolder. She slowly leaned her body towards Sun Du and hugged his arm.

“Hmm… just like before… But, before I felt nauseous, but now I don’t feel nauseous at all. On the contrary… I like it very much, I feel attached to it, and I feel like I want to hold it like this forever…”

Deep down, Liu Nuanyu’s initial denial gradually turned into acceptance, and she even hugged him tighter and tighter. Sun Du glanced at Liu Nuanyu; this girl… was she planning something again? The intimacy of their actions surpassed even that of Dean Chang. However, she was clearly wearing underwear; Sun Du’s arm could distinctly feel some kind of thick, soft fabric… Speaking of which, her panties were so cute, what kind of underwear could she be wearing…?

Fortunately, Liu Nuanyu’s actions ended there. Although she held on until the end of the movie before reluctantly letting go, Sun Du checked the time and thought, “Hmm, it’s about time. If there’s nothing else, then we should get down to business.”

If nothing else happens…

“Miss Liu, is there anything else you need me to do? Like lunch, and…”

Should I go to the hospital for a checkup?

“Ah, I…I didn’t…I don’t need it…really…”

Liu Nuanyu was incoherent and couldn’t express her thoughts clearly. She could no longer be sure that she didn’t like Sun Du as she had been before. But if she did like Sun Du, then what were her feelings for Xiao Meimei?

In fact, Lu Xiaoxiao and Sun Du’s feelings for Liu Nuanyu were respectively friendship plus fondness for cute things and friendship plus gratitude, neither of which were romantic feelings, but she just couldn’t tell the difference.

“Are you really alright?”

Looking at Liu Nuanyu’s appearance, it seemed that she could still move around? Well… since she didn’t need it, he couldn’t persuade her otherwise.

“Okay, let’s go.”

…

In Zone 7 of the industrial park, workers wearing safety helmets have been arriving one after another. This morning, trucks delivered bricks, tiles, and cement, and work began this afternoon. Lunchtime is almost over now.

“Mr. Sun, who are we looking for?”

After a period of adjustment, Liu Nuanyu’s emotions stabilized. She wasn’t particularly good at handling relationships, after all, her status didn’t require her to deal with any emotions, but now… she could only use her most common method: stalling, stalling until the crucial moment. Someone had once told her that if she really didn’t know what to do, she should wait until the crucial moment and trust her first choice, which would definitely be her truest thought.

“The person we’re looking for is named Masaru Murasaki. I’ve seen his photo, and he does look quite similar to Gen’ai Murasaki.”

As Sun Du spoke, he led Liu Nuanyu inside. He sensed that Zi Yezheng was in the dining hall; he had finished lunch and was looking at his phone.

“Let’s go, we’ve found him, he’s just ahead.”

As Sun Du spoke, he beckoned Liu Nuanyu to follow. They walked forward and entered the dining hall. Sun Du pointed to a middle-aged man sitting on a stool with his legs crossed, wearing a safety helmet, whose hair and eye color were the same as Ziye Yuan’ai’s, and said:

“That’s him, let’s go.”

“good.”

The two walked forward, with Sun Du in front. He originally intended to ask directly, but when he got closer to Mr. Ziye Zheng, his eyes caught sight of the other man’s phone screen. The other man seemed to be looking at a photo, and the photo was of a game character.

“Zampstor?”

This character, clad in golden armor, with brown hair and wielding a golden-patterned greatsword… Sun Du recognized him; he was a character from a game he used to play, though that game had already shut down.

“Oh? This gentleman knows this character?”

Upon hearing Sun Du’s voice, Ziye Zheng turned his head and looked at Sun Du with unusual excitement.

Faced with the question, Sun Du fell into recollection: “Ah…this is a character from a game I used to really like…” Then, he came back to his senses and asked:

“You have a picture of this character on your phone, are you also a player of ‘Apocalypse’?”

“That’s right! It’s so rare to meet someone with the same hobby in real life! My game ID is Su Wang Lian Feng, may I ask what your ID is, brother…”

Upon hearing this, Sun Du tentatively asked, “Su Wanglian Peak? Your guild isn’t called the Knights of Apocalypse, is it?”

“You…you mean…”

“I am Black Phosphorus! Do you remember that saying? The demon of Yuanchuan Palace…”

“It’s so sinister!”

“I knew it! Hahaha, it really is you!”

“I never expected this! We’ll actually meet in person!”

“Oh dear, we were saying we’d get together, but you said you were too busy…”

“I’m so sorry. Perfect timing! How about I treat you to a drink after work to make it up to you? By the way, where’s Shan Youxi?”

“He has classes to teach…”

Seeing Sun Du and Zi Yezheng already arm in arm after only a few words, Liu Nuanyu was a little puzzled. Could it be that just being players of the same game could make them so close? Wait, they seemed to be acquaintances in the game…
