Chapter 532 Straight Men Say They Don't Know What's Important

"Go away~"

"No."

"Go away from me!"

"Call me 'husband' and I'll leave."

Luo Shiyu bit her lip and spat out through gritted teeth, "Husband."

He Gui pretended not to hear, put his ear close, and said in a sullen tone, "Huh? Did you say something? The buzzing of the mosquitoes was too loud for me to hear clearly."

"If you can't hear me, that's your problem. Anyway, I shouted."

"Alright, then give me a kiss and I'll let go." He Gui pointed to his lips and continued, "Kiss me here."

Luo Shiyu pouted, but still hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Only after he had returned the crane to its beloved home was he satisfied and moved aside, allowing Luo Shiyu to escape from the wall.

After regaining his freedom, Luo Shiyu finally had the time to look at the room's decor. The overall style was predominantly green, with a very fresh and clean aesthetic. It didn't look like the kind of room a middle-aged man would live in.

"This...is this really Fu Hua's room?"

"Yeah, you didn't expect that, did you? Actually, I didn't expect it either."

When did you become so humorous?

"I haven't always been like this."

【…】

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."

Luo Shiyu's gaze fell on the group photo displayed on the shelf, and his pupils suddenly contracted. That face, the man in the photo with Fu Hua, had a face that Luo Shiyu knew all too well.

【Jia Jia?】

He Gui waved his hand in front of Luo Shiyu's eyes.

"What are you looking at? Your eyes are practically glued to the screen."

"Group photo...can I see that group photo?"

"can."

After receiving permission, Luo Shiyu ran over, picked up the photo frame, and looked at the photo.

At that time, Fu Hua was about the same age as Wang Xiaobao is now, around sixteen or seventeen years old, and his hand was on the shoulder of the boy next to him.

The man looked almost exactly like Yu Jiajia; they were practically identical.

"Gui Gui, do you know who this person is?"

"I don't know. I've never seen him, not even at my teacher's funeral."

"Don't you even know?"

"If you're curious, you can ask Nanxing. Her mother, Nanyu, was the teacher's partner and might know something about what happened back then."

"I'm going right now! Can I borrow this photo?" Luo Shiyu said and ran off in a flash.

A few seconds later, he ran back, poked his head in from outside, and told He Gui, "Wait for me in the office after you've finished your business." Then he ran off again.

Luo Shiyu arrived at Nanxing's office door, stopped his attempt to break down the door, and politely knocked.

"Please come in."

Nanxing was clearly surprised to see Luo Shiyu.

"Didn't you find Commander He?"

"You're the one I've been looking for."

"Find me?"

"Hmm." Luo Shiyu pointed to the man in the photo and said, "I'd like to ask you about this person."

"I don't know this person."

"Where is your mother? May I ask her?"

"Sure, I'll contact them for you right away."

Nanxing tried to video call Nanyu, but no one answered.

"My mother might be in trouble. Are you in a hurry?"

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Not wanting to cause any more trouble for the already busy Nanxing, Luo Shiyu obediently found a chair to sit down and, without disturbing her work, studied the photo on her own.

It would be great if we could glean some useful information from the photos.

Xiao Hei: "It should be possible! The date of the photo is usually on the back."

【is that so? 】

Luo Shiyu carefully opened the photo frame, turned the photo over, and found a handwritten note on the back besides the date of the photo.

"Strive forward! You protect this land, and I will protect you."

Signed: Yu Qingcheng.

[This old photo, taken 29 years ago, shows someone surnamed Yu who looks so much like Jiajia. It can't possibly be a coincidence, right? Could this be...?]

Luo Shiyu felt a wave of dizziness. After steadying herself by holding her forehead, she found herself next to a pool of water, with a sleeping person lying under a tree beside her.

He lay on his side with his forearm as a pillow, his long hair cascading down to the grass, and a coat covering his stomach. From behind, he looked like a girl.

A boy's voice came from not far away: "Orange! I've been looking for you everywhere. What are you doing skipping class to slack off here again!"

Luo Shiyu's gaze fell on the boy lying there.

[Orange? Is this Yu Qingcheng?]

Then he looked at the person running towards him. He was wearing a military uniform, and without a doubt, it was Fu Hua in his younger days.

Yu Qingcheng was awakened by Fu Hua's voice. He sat up with a yawn, his eyes half open. He looked lazy and exuded a kind of languidness that made him indifferent to worldly affairs.

"That's strange, you always manage to catch me slacking off."

"Isn't it because Orange is always trying to find ways to slack off? The school is about to hold an awakening ceremony, right? At this critical moment, you still skip class and run away to take a break."

"Hmm~" Yu Qingcheng stretched, his loose clothes revealing his fair waist as he raised his hand.

Fu Hua quickly took off his coat and rushed over to cover him with it.

"Orange, you're not allowed to wear this dress anymore!"

"I'm a man, so what if I show my nipples? It won't get me pregnant if I just glance at it."

“That’s true…” Fu Hua’s gaze met Yu Qingcheng’s, but he quickly looked away, trying to appear calm, and said stubbornly, “I didn’t let you wear it because I was afraid you would catch a cold, it’s definitely not because of anything else.”

"I know, Xiao Fu and I grew up together, so I know you best. I can even guess what color underwear you're wearing today!"

"orange!"

"Just kidding! I hope that stingy guy won't be angry?" Yu Qingcheng said with a smile as she poked Fu Hua's already blushing face.

"I'm not stingy."

"Really? Transfer 50 to me and let's see your strength."

"I'll give you five thousand... no! Fifty million!"

"Why give me so much? It's enough to buy my life."

"I don't want to buy your life, I want to buy you as a person." Upon realizing that Fu Hua had spoken his true feelings, his eyes revealed obvious panic as he nervously observed Yu Qingcheng's reaction.

"You don't need to spend money, my people are yours to begin with."

His smile was like a spring breeze melting snow, so gentle that it was impossible to look away.

Fu Hua was stunned, and Luo Shiyu was even more shocked, her mouth agape.

Holy crap! How could you say something like that so casually?!

Fu Hua casually picked a wildflower from the ground, held it in both hands, and presented it to Yu Qingcheng, bravely confessing, "Chengzi...would you like to be with me?"

“Sure, didn’t I already say that? If you succeed as commander and I become a Ghost Master, I’ll become your general, and then we can work together every day.”

Wow, so that's how they got together.
