The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1315 - 1314: Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Geng Bucuo, have you had enough of fooling around?"Xiao Yue gave him a shove, causing the unprepared Geng Bucuo to stumble.

"I'm not fooling around, I really want to help you, look, I've never tried to help anyone else."

Didn't Xiao Yue see his genuine sincerity?

Geng Bucuo couldn't tell what Xiao Yue was thinking; he could only rely on his instincts to sense what Xiao Yue might be feeling.

"You should go help someone else; they might actually be grateful. Helping me is useless, I can't thank you, and won't be appreciative."

Did Geng Bucuo's little heart get hurt?

Everyone around felt sympathetic, but it seemed that Geng Bucuo's enthusiasm wasn't extinguished by all this.

"It's okay if you're not grateful, I just want to do something for you, it makes me feel better."

What good is feeling better in your heart, Xiao Yue pouted. No matter how good Geng Bucuo was to Xiao Yue, he still couldn't match one-thousandth of Tang Rao's charm.

"Geng Bucuo, I actually don't like you. Don't waste your time on me, I don't want to wrong you. There are plenty of better girls in the Divine Realm; you can find someone better than me."

Idol dramas aren't exclusive to Blue Star; it seems the Divine Realm produces quite a few too.

A casual sentence from Xiao Yue could deeply wound Geng Bucuo, hurting him automatically.

"I don't think I can find anyone better; you're the best, Xiao Yue. I just don't understand, why is it that no one is pursuing you, and you don't like anyone, yet you won't give me a chance?"

It was Geng Bucuo's first time pursuing a woman, could his first attempt end in failure? It didn't seem logical.

"I do like someone, who said I don't?"

She immediately retorted without thinking.

"Who is it that you like?"

Alarm bells rang in Geng Bucuo's heart, a sign of danger.

"Who it is... none of your business, but it's definitely not you."

Xiao Yue said guiltily.

She almost let it slip that it was Tang Rao.

Tang Rao was the leader; what was Xiao Yue? She could only admire Tang Rao; she couldn't have any more improper thoughts.

"What's with 'definitely not me'? If you truly like someone, then I'll let it go. But if you're just trying to brush me off, I'll continue pursuing you until the day you agree to be with me."

Geng Bucuo wanted Xiao Yue to know that when it came to love, he was a man who wouldn't give up or back down.

"You shouldn't worry about this."

Xiao Yue once again politely refused; she simply wouldn't say.

"All of you watch, I'm declaring here today that as long as Xiao Yue doesn't say who she likes, I'll keep pursuing her and won't give up."

"Wow, Lao Geng is really serious this time. To win over our goddess Xiao Yue, he's shameless to this extent, it's truly unexpected."

"Exactly, I heard before that Lao Geng was pursuing someone, and thought it was some girl from the Divine Realm. Turns out it's our goddess Xiao Yue he's after."

The gossip outside was getting intense, and the more Xiao Yue listened, the more uncomfortable she felt.

If she didn't resist, Geng Bucuo might cause a big scene, letting everyone know that Xiao Yue was the woman pursued by Geng Bucuo. Her chances of being with Tang Rao would be as good as gone.

"No need, you wanted to know who I like, right? I like the leader, now can you give up chasing me?"

Xiao Yue confessed to Tang Rao in front of everyone.

The onlookers were in an uproar.

They all burst into laughter.

"Lao Geng, looks like you're done for. Goddess Xiao Yue invoked the leader's name just to avoid you."

As for whether Xiao Yue truly liked Tang Rao, no one bothered to delve into it.

They were more interested in watching the show.

"What business is it of yours? It doesn't matter who Xiao Yue likes, even if it's the leader. The leader is so charismatic, if it were me, I'd like him too. This just proves Xiao Yue has good taste."

???

What?

The things they heard and what they're hearing now weren't spoken by the same person, how could they be so different?

Wasn't it supposed to be that when Xiao Yue said who she liked, Geng Bucuo would let go? This change of mind is faster than flipping a page.

"Who, who likes me?"

Tang Rao, enjoying the nice weather, came out for a walk. As soon as he arrived, he heard a familiar man's voice saying someone liked Tang Rao. The voice sounded familiar, but he didn't think much of it, assuming it was just part of the commotion.

"Leader, Xiao Yue said she likes you, and Geng Bucuo likes you too."

A few people who loved stirring up trouble gathered around Tang Rao to tell him what had just happened.

Tang Rao didn't know before, but now he was taken aback.

He regretted coming to join the fun at this time.

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting, how can you know about love or not love when you haven't even come of age?"

Tang Rao said, trying to grab the ear of the kid who spoke nonsense but easily missed it.

"Of course I know, but leader, Sister Xiao Yue truly likes you, I could tell she was sincere. Sister Xiao Yue's face was all red just now."

Tang Rao knew Xiao Yue liked him; Granny Hua had reminded him last night. He just didn't know why it was brought up again today.

"Xiao Wei, stop talking nonsense."

Xiao Yue quickly stopped Xiao Wei from continuing.

Her liking for Tang Rao was something she preferred to keep buried in her heart.

But with everything that just happened, everyone now knew. Even if Xiao Wei didn't say so, someone would eventually tell Tang Rao.

"Sister Xiao Yue, you clearly said it yourself just now, why are you denying it?"

When Xiao Wei first joined the Kao Shan Sect, it was Xiao Yue who took care of him. Now Xiao Wei just wanted to help Xiao Yue boldly find true love, he didn't think he was doing anything wrong.

"Leader, I think you and Xiao Yue are quite a match, why not give it a try?"

Cha Xiangzi and a few other troublemakers joined in the fun.

No matter how good-natured Xiao Yue was, being joked about by so many people made her feel upset.

Her eyes reddened, knowing explanations were pointless, she ran off.

"Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, where are you going?"

Geng Bucuo chased after Xiao Yue, running behind her.

Tang Rao, who was normally adept at courting women, found himself embarrassed and confused.

"Leader, Xiao Yue just confessed to you in front of all of us, didn't you feel anything? She's beautiful and your right-hand woman, just this friendship alone is touching to us, aren't you moved?"

Tang Rao wasn't daring to be moved.

On one hand, there was his brother, on the other, his most trusted right hand. Choosing either side could mean losing the other, it was a decision Tang Rao couldn't afford to make.

"This matter ends here. Anyone who continues discussing it will get beaten!"

Tang Rao couldn't let anyone speak before he figured out how to handle this.
