"You still don't understand your own heart at all!"
Huo Wushuang said quietly.
Hearing Huo Wushuang's words, Huo Wu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she raised her small, white fist again as a threat—
"What do you mean?"
"No!"
"What kind of look is that? Do you want to get beaten up again!"
"Ahem..."
Huo Wushuang originally wanted to keep his younger sister in suspense, but seeing her posture, he could only cough twice to cover his embarrassment.
There was no other way. If he
kept her in suspense like this,
he was afraid that before he could even arouse her curiosity or say anything,
he would be beaten half to death.
—This was indeed something Huo Wu, with her fiery temper, would do!
Huo Wushuang dared not be negligent; he was truly afraid.
If she kept getting beaten like this, she'd probably have to take sick leave before the semester even officially started—
"Listen to me, Xiao Wu, I have a question for you…"
"If you made that bet with Ning Rongrong today…"
"And the other person still made that request, but instead of our Dean Zhuge Lan, it was someone else…"
"Would you accept… cough cough, do what you did just now?"
"Of course not!"
Huo Wu blurted out.
Her fiery temper was no joke.
Even if she didn't want to break the bet, even if she was too embarrassed to directly teach Ning Rongrong a lesson…
she would definitely give the chosen person a good beating.
Heh—
beat them half to death!
Let's see if that guy still dares to mess with her.
"I think so too…"
"So!"
Huo Wushuang stretched out his hand, pointed at Huo Wu, and then pointed towards the interior of Xuanji Pavilion—
"Your choice, your answer, already explains everything you're thinking right now."
"Huff—huff—"
In an instant.
Huo Wu fell silent, taking deep breaths, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.
—Of course, it didn't work.
Just as Huo Wushuang said.
If she hadn't had feelings for Zhuge Lan from the beginning, how could she have made such a move?
She had just subconsciously ignored him before.
Now that Huo Wushuang had pointed it out so bluntly, Huo Wu had to confront her own feelings—
did she really like Zhuge Lan?
The answer was of course!
She did like him…
mysterious, powerful, handsome, and charismatic—
the other half Huo Wu had always longed for was a man who could captivate her.
Clearly,
Zhuge Lan had perfectly embodied this!
Not only the extraordinary methods he displayed today,
but also his legendary experience of single-handedly repelling a beast tide. Even with Huo Wu's
confidence
, she wouldn't dare say she could compare to him.
Admittedly,
the two hadn't known each other for long
, less than a day.
But the feeling of being moved was sometimes so irrational.
Perhaps this was love at first sight—
but…
Even after knowing the answer and understanding her own feelings, Huo Wu still had reservations—
"Yes, I do seem to have feelings for him."
"But so what?"
"That doesn't mean he'll necessarily like me..."
"And most importantly, he already has other women around him, and not just one."
"Who can accept this?"
"Many people can!"
Huo Wushuang said calmly, his voice slow and deliberate.
"From what I know..." "
Liu Erlong, the former dean of the Blue Lightning Academy, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and a girl named Zhu Zhuqing."
"They can all accept it..."
Huo Wushuang now understood perfectly.
Since his younger sister truly felt this way, as her brother, he had an obligation to help her find her happiness.
Regarding Zhuge Lan's other women—
Huo Wushuang had initially considered it and couldn't accept that his only sister would become one of someone else's, not his only one.
But recalling Zhuge Lan's mystery,
he felt relieved.
Such an existence seemed impossible for any woman to hold onto.
The remaining concerns had been dispelled by Huo Wu's explanation.
—Even the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could accept all of this, and was even searching for other women for Zhuge Lan.
This sounded quite outrageous!
But it was enough to demonstrate Zhuge Lan's equally outrageous charm!
Huo Wushuang was confident in his younger sister, but not to the point of blind confidence—nor did he believe that Huo Wu's charm was significantly greater than Ning Rongrong's.
Therefore, Huo Wushuang needed to make these things
clear to Huo Wu!
He wasn't doing this to force his sister into Zhuge Lan's arms.
He simply didn't want her to regret it later.
Ultimately,
Huo Wushuang was indeed a very responsible older brother.
He had always protected Huo Wu, even occasionally acting as her emotional support and a punching bag.
Of course, he also wanted to plan for her future.
Leaving aside the fact that Zhuge Lan was indeed the best candidate for Huo Wu's other half,
just the fact that Huo Wu had fallen in love
meant that if he didn't do something and missed out on her,
she would definitely regret it later!
Therefore, Huo Wushuang made things very clear and ultimately gave the choice to Huo Wu.
He could protect her and make plans for her.
But Huo Wushuang truly didn't want to, and felt he had no right to, decide Huo Wu's future.
If Huo Wu's feelings for Zhuge Lan weren't deep, then she could simply cut off this inappropriate relationship.
But if her heart was deeply moved and she couldn't let go of these feelings,
then she should make a choice sooner and understand her own heart.
Otherwise,
sometimes, missing out means missing out forever.
Sure enough!
After hearing Huo Wushuang's words,
Huo Wu fell silent. Although she didn't make a direct choice,
her lack of denial spoke volumes.
"But, even if I don't care..."
"Even if I like him, Zhuge Lan might not like me back,"
Huo Wu said softly, her usually cheerful voice now barely audible.
If Huo Wushuang hadn't been waiting for Huo Wu's answer, she might not have heard these words.
Indeed,
when a young girl experiencing her first love talks about her crush, no matter how confident she was in the past
, the one who falls in love first is always prone to feelings of inferiority and confusion.
But that was enough.
A heavy weight had finally been lifted from her heart.
Huo Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily—
"Hahaha, don't underestimate yourself."
"Back in Blazing Fire Academy, your charm was enough to captivate countless people; everyone witnessed it!"
"Have more confidence in yourself!"
"My Xiaowu is so outstanding, so beautiful, and her talent and personality...emmm, her comprehension are also excellent."
While praising her, Huo Wushuang aggravated her wound again, though not to the point of gasping for breath.
But she simply couldn't bring herself to say the compliment about her personality.
Completely embarrassed!
