279: Holding Naiqi's hand

Chapter 279: Holding Nai Qi's Little Hand

Heyang City.

Su Han and the group of four arrived in front of Shanhai Courtyard.

As soon as they entered the door, the diners who saw them instantly quieted down, and envious whispers rose and fell.

"Look quickly, those are the Immortals from Qingyun Sect!"

"Indeed, it's truly an honor to see Disciples of Qingyun Sect with my own eyes!"

Su Han, Lu Xueqi, and Qi Hao didn't pay much attention.

However, Zhang Xiaofan felt uncomfortable hearing these discussions, and subconsciously hid behind the group.

He had never been watched by so many people before, and his heart was filled with nervousness.

Zeng Shushu, on the other hand, was completely different; he fanned himself with the folding fan in his hand, puffed out his chest, and looked proud, as if he was enjoying the envious gazes of the crowd.

Immediately, he leaned closer to Su Han and whispered, "Senior Brother, watch Junior Brother arrange things."

"Okay."

Su Han nodded, curious about what Zeng Shushu meant?

Arrange?

Arrange what?

At this moment, the waiter had already come forward with a face full of smiles, his waist bent like a shrimp, "Distinguished guests, please come in!"

"May I ask if you are here to eat or to stay the night?"

Zeng Shushu stepped forward, the folding fan opened with a 'swish', and he gently waved it.

He instructed the waiter, "Waiter, bring all your signature dishes, especially that Stewed Meiyu Fish!"

"My Senior Brother likes to eat it, and Senior Brother's wife is also very curious, so you absolutely cannot be careless!"

"Also prepare four superior rooms!"

"They must be clean and spacious. We will be staying here tonight."

After speaking, Zeng Shushu looked at Su Han and Lu Xueqi with a mischievous expression, seeking credit.

Hearing four rooms, Su Han subconsciously looked at Junior Sister Lu Xueqi beside him.

After all, there were five people present and four rooms, plus the Senior Brother's wife Zeng Shushu mentioned, the meaning was very clear: it meant letting Su Han and Lu Xueqi share a room tonight.

Su Han looked at Zeng Shushu with a satisfied expression, as if saying, 'Well done.'

Zeng Shushu instantly became even more proud, cupping his hands slightly, "You flatter me, you flatter me..."

"It's five rooms."

At this moment, Lu Xueqi couldn't help but speak up to remind the waiter.

After all, she and Su Han still only had a vague fondness for each other, far from reaching the point of expressing their feelings.

And even if they really did express their feelings...

For her, living together now would be too fast.

Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Su Han, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes.

Then she looked at Zeng Shushu again, her cold demeanor returning, mixed with a trace of embarrassment and annoyance, "What Senior Brother's wife... don't talk nonsense."

"It's bound to happen sooner or later."

"Junior Sister Xueqi and Su Han Shixiong, you two are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, innocent and pure, a perfect match of talent and beauty, made for each other..."

Zeng Shushu showered Lu Xueqi and Su Han with praises.

He praised until Lu Xueqi was too embarrassed to be angry with him anymore.

Instead, she lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, occasionally glancing at Su Han, "It's not like what you said..."

Su Han looked at Lu Xueqi's adorable and shy appearance.

He took the initiative to step forward and tentatively held Lu Xueqi's little hand.

Feeling the soft, smooth, and delicate touch of Lu Xueqi's little hand held in his palm, even Su Han, who was 'experienced in battle', felt his heart rate subconsciously quicken slightly at this moment.

After all, this was the first time he had so formally held his Junior Sister's hand.

It was completely different from the unintentional touches during cultivation or combat in the past.

And Lu Xueqi, feeling her Senior Brother's small action, subconsciously struggled slightly.

But feeling the strength of Su Han's large hand, she was unwilling to let go...

Finally, her cheeks flushed, her eyes drooped, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, looking incredibly shy.

Allowing Su Han to hold it.

Although Lu Xueqi had grown up now, she still rarely carried a bit of a little girl's 'milkiness', making her extremely adorable.

Looking at Lu Xueqi like this, Su Han's eyes were full of smiles and doting.

"As expected of Nai Qi, truly adorable."

"However, I also have to thank Junior Brother Zeng..."

Su Han silently sighed in his heart about Lu Xueqi's cuteness and Zeng Shushu's divine assist.

After all, if it weren't for Zeng Shushu's words of praise, his Junior Sister might have shyly shaken off his large hand.

"One can only say he's worthy of being Master Uncle Zeng's son."

"On Qingyun Sect, Master Uncle Zeng was already considered eloquent."

"In contrast, this Zeng Shushu's tongue is even smoother than Master Uncle Zeng's."

"Moreover, his ability to assess the situation is extraordinarily strong, he's quite the bootlicker, and he's also the direct son of the current Fenghui Peak Head Seat."

"If I succeed as Sect Head of Qingyun Sect in the future, I will also need to build my own Sect Head's team, perhaps he can..."

Su Han was lost in thought, but on the surface, he 'scolded' Zeng Shushu, "Alright, if you keep talking, Junior Sister will get shy."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

And Zeng Shushu, hearing Su Han's reprimand, quickly stopped praising, feeling no worry in his heart.

After all, he knew that not only would Su Han not be angry, but he was probably very satisfied with his assistance, and the reprimand was just to comfort his Senior Sister Xueqi.

"Me... does this count as clinging to a powerful figure?"

"Damn, I really am a Genius!"

Looking at Zeng Shushu's bootlicking and proud expression, Su Han smiled and shook his head.

Then, he instructed the waiter again, "It's five superior rooms."

"Alright, esteemed guests, please wait a moment! I'll arrange it for you right away!"

The waiter nodded repeatedly, his face full of smiles, and then scurried towards the back kitchen.

Su Han led the group to find a large table by the window and sat down, Lu Xueqi quietly sitting beside Su Han.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for helping me out."

Su Han gently squeezed Lu Xueqi's little hand and smiled, "Junior Sister, you're too polite."

Feeling the movement of Su Han's large hand, Lu Xueqi wanted to say something, but in the end, she just pursed her lips.

As if she hadn't noticed, she turned her head and looked around at everything in the restaurant, her eyes still showing curiosity, yet not losing their coldness.

But her slightly flushed earlobes proved that her heart was far from as calm as it appeared on the surface.

The five people fell into silence again.

Qi Hao remained composed, sitting upright, as if none of this concerned him.

Zhang Xiaofan sat in the corner, his eyes watching the lively scene around him, but his heart was still replaying the discussions of the crowd just now.

Before long, the dishes and drinks were served one after another.

As soon as the Stewed Meiyu Fish was served, a rich aroma permeated the air.

Zeng Shushu couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, and showed a satisfied expression, "Hmm, that's right."

Then he looked at Su Han, "Senior Brother, it's still this taste, authentic!"

Su Han nodded with a smile and looked at Lu Xueqi, "Junior Sister, quickly try it."

Lu Xueqi nodded gently, picked up her chopsticks, elegantly picked up a small piece of fish, and put it in her mouth to taste carefully.

She closed her eyes slightly, and after a moment, opened them, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "It is indeed delicious."

"As long as you're satisfied."

Su Han also started eating.

"Ginger slices were added to remove the fishy smell, it's fragrant, smooth, tender, and sweet upon entering the mouth..."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan also couldn't wait to take a bite, and immediately couldn't help but praise it.

Seeing this scene, Su Han subconsciously looked towards the stairs on the second floor.

After all, if he remembered correctly, according to the original work, the waiter would then praise the freshness of this Meiyu fish, and then that green-clothed girl would come to interrupt...
