Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 378: Where did Xu Ming go too far?
Zhu Cici didn't ask Xu Ming any more questions.

Zhu Cici felt her eyes sore and she felt like crying a little.

But Zhu Cici held back.

If I really cried, it would be too embarrassing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting too depressing, Yu Wenxi started talking about some lighter topics, such as who would attend the Four Seas Ceremony.

For example, what kind of activities will be held at the Four Seas Ceremony?

Finally, let’s talk about what the legendary empress looked like.

After Yu Wenxi took the lead, the others quickly followed suit.

The atmosphere in the box returned to normal again.

But there was still some obvious repression between Zhu Cici and Xu Ming.

It seemed as if Zhu Cici was completely hurt.

When Ling Bisheng looked at Zhu Cici's appearance, he also felt a pain in his heart.

Of course, there is more of a sense of melancholy and loss.

Ling Bisheng confessed his love to Zhu Cici more than once.

Although Zhu Cici refused every time, and his refusal was very decisive.

But Ling Bisheng still likes Zhu Cici.

As a result, when Ling Bisheng saw such a man appear and made the girl he liked so sad with just a few words.

He deeply realized how important the other person was in his heart.

He also deeply realized that no matter how much he did, it was useless.

Zhu Cici has always been a person who has a clear distinction between what she likes and what she dislikes. If she likes something, she likes it; if she dislikes something, she dislikes it.

No matter how much I do, it will never be as good as one sentence this man said.

But now, this man was liked by such a good girl, but he still hurt her heart, which made Ling Bisheng feel inexplicably angry.

"Everyone, please take your time eating. I feel a little uncomfortable. I think I am a little tired from the journey. I will go back first."

Half an hour later, Zhu Cici finished his meal and made an excuse to go back to Dragon Palace to rest.

"Okay, okay, Cici, make sure you get some rest."

Naturally, the others hurriedly bowed and no one tried to expose Zhu Cici's excuse.

Ling Bisheng wanted to accompany Zhu Cici back, but was rejected by Zhu Cici.

After Zhu Cici left, everyone felt the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

But the way they looked at Xu Ming was more complicated.

Another stick of incense passed, and the others said goodbye one after another. Xu Ming, Yu Wenxi and Miao Feng walked out of the restaurant and strolled on the streets of Longdu.

The three of them walked together. Yu Wenxi and Miao Feng had complicated expressions, and both of them looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated. Xu Ming's expression was extremely natural, as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Xu." Yu Wenxi couldn't help but said, "Brother Xu, what you said about Ci Ci before, I always feel... I feel..."

As he was talking, Yu Wenxi didn't know what words to use to describe it. "Does it feel a bit excessive?" Xu Ming smiled.

Yuwenxi, Miao Feng: "."

Neither of them knew what to say.

Were those words that Brother Xu said to Ci Ci excessive? It seemed that they were indeed excessive.

Because Ci Ci had waited for Brother Xu for so long, she didn't expect that Brother Xu had always kept his distance from Ci Ci and even directly expressed his affection for another woman in front of Ci Ci.

Put yourself in Zhu Cici’s shoes. You wouldn’t be able to stand it either.

But do you want to say that Brother Xu is not overdoing it? In fact, it really feels okay. Brother Xu doesn't feel like he has done anything wrong.

Because Brother Xu didn't have much contact with Cici, except that he gave Cici a poem when they were children, and other than that, there seemed to be nothing much.

Besides, let alone giving a poem, even if Brother Xu promised to marry Cici when they were young, so what?

Children speak without restraint. Who would take what they say seriously? Even if the other party took it seriously, how could we blame Brother Xu?

"I know what you two are thinking about." Xu Ming smiled and shook his head. "It seems that Miss Zhu Cici from your academy does like me a little. I know this. After all, I am not a fool. But, when did she like me?"

Yuwenxi, Miao Feng: "."

Xu Ming sighed softly: "Every one of us will move forward. Who will always stand at the intersection?
Some people just like the scenery at the intersection.”

On the other side, Fang Yu and the other two were walking on the street, and they looked very complicated.

"That Xu Ming! He really went too far!" Ling Bisheng said angrily.

Fang Yu smiled and said, "Excessive? Excessive in what way? I don't think Brother Xu has done anything excessive."

Ling Bisheng looked at Fang Yu and subconsciously raised his voice: "You're still asking me where I went too far? He hasn't gone too far at all? Didn't you notice that Cici was about to cry?"

Fang Yu was not angry, but just looked at Ling Bisheng with a smile: "Then tell me, Cici is about to cry, is it because Brother Xu went too far? Then tell me the reason why Brother Xu went too far."

"Of course it is excessive." Ling Bisheng wanted to say it angrily, but as soon as Ling Bisheng opened his mouth, the words were already stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out.

Chen Kun, who had been listening on the side, shook his head and said:

"Bi Sheng, didn't you realize that Brother Xu said this on purpose? Or, Brother Xu deliberately said everything that was in his mind.

Not to mention how beautiful Cici is, for any man, if he gets a woman who is in the top ten of the beauty list, it would be a huge vanity.

Even a fool can see that Cici has a good impression of Brother Xu.

Anyone with bad intentions can just say some sweet words to Ci Ci and trick her into getting her.

But did Brother Xu do this?
No.

While Brother Xu deliberately kept a distance from Ci Ci, he showed his truest side, just wanting Ci Ci to see the real Brother Xu.

In my opinion, Brother Xu just wants Cici to know that I may no longer be the me who I was when I was a child. You like the me when I was a child, but whether you like me now or not, you have to consider it carefully.

From beginning to end, Brother Xu did not take advantage of Ci Ci at all."

Ling Bisheng: “.”

"Bisheng," Fang Yu sighed and patted his shoulder, "I know you like Cici, and I also know that you have been secretly comparing yourself with Brother Xu, but what Brother Xu did this time is truly gentlemanly, and at least, Cici's love is not so cheap."
