Chapter 60 Fang Duobing's Furious Outburst
It wasn't until Wu You poured and drank the second cup of tea that Qiao Wanmian finally emerged from her reverie.
"It was my oversight. I was so engrossed in thinking that I neglected Youyou. It was my fault." Qiao Wanmian quickly apologized, realizing that she had left such a bad impression on Wu You on their very first meeting.
"It's alright, have you thought things through, Sister A-Mian?" Wu You quickly stopped Qiao Wan-Mian from apologizing.
Qiao Wanmian shook her head: "Never mind, some things can't be understood just by thinking about them."
"Don't worry," Wu You comforted him. "As a bard once said, the wind brings the seeds of a story, and time makes them sprout. When the time comes, you'll naturally understand."
"I hope so. But that makes a lot of sense. What else did that bard say?" Qiao Wanmian had little hope.
"He is a free-spirited bard whose words have a rhythm like poetry. At first listen, you just find them pleasant to hear, but upon closer listening, you feel as if you've stepped into the poem. I'll tell you more about him when I have time."
“Well, a bard who values freedom sounds quite different. You must tell me about him another day.” Qiao Wanmian was quite curious about this bard.
"Okay, is it convenient for you to say what you're thinking? Maybe I can analyze it for you from an outsider's perspective. As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly." Wu You also wanted to see how things were developing from the perspective of someone directly involved.
Qiao Wanmian hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. Although she felt a strong connection with Wu You, they had only just met. On the one hand, she felt awkward about expressing her feelings, and on the other hand, it wouldn't be right to burden someone else with her troubles.
"Then think about it yourself. Sometimes, if you can't solve the problem someone else is asking, then you can solve the problem of the person who asked the question. That's not a bad way either." Wu You remembered that a disciple of a certain True Lord who was very good at chatting solved the problem in this way.
After listening, Qiao Wanmian smiled knowingly: "Your method is sometimes the right one."
"Of course." The beauty smiled, and even the flowers in the courtyard paled in comparison. Wu You's greatest hobbies were eating delicious food, admiring beautiful scenery, appreciating a beautiful woman's smile, and watching his phone balance steadily increase.
It wasn't that Wu You was worried about losing his composure in front of a beautiful woman; he felt like he was drooling.
Seeing that Qiao Wanmian was in a much better mood, Wu You also smiled. This was indeed not within the scope of his skills.
Qiao Wanmian glanced at the sky; it was time for breakfast.
"Youyou, have you had breakfast yet? Would you like to go get something to eat together?"
"I haven't eaten breakfast yet. We started climbing the mountain before dawn. I was embarrassed to mention it until you told me, but I am indeed a bit hungry." Actually, Wu You had eaten a piece of bread when he got up, but naturally he had to eat with the beauty.
"Let's go together then. The food at Baichuan Academy is pretty good; I'm sure you'll find something you like." Qiao Wanmian stood up and led the way.
Wu You quickly got up and followed, walking side by side in a wide section of the road. As they got used to it, she naturally took Qiao Wanmian's arm.
"Where are we going to eat breakfast? Where are we going?"
"Breakfast is in the dining room next to the kitchen. Let's go to the kitchen first and get our favorite food."
Qiao Wanmian responded to every word Wu You said.
This is similar to a modern cafeteria, except that you get your food inside the cafeteria.
As Wu and You passed by a lotus pond, they saw Fang Duobing pacing anxiously back and forth on the shore. His disordered steps revealed just how agitated he was.
Seeing the two approaching from a distance, Fang Duobing stepped forward. He was about to question them, but quickly stopped himself and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Miss Qiao."
Qiao Wanmian clasped her hands in a fist and asked, "Young Master Fang, are you waiting for someone here?"
"I'm here to see Wu You."
"Looking for me? What do you want with me?" Wu You couldn't understand.
"Didn't we agree that I had to leave and you could rest here for a while, and I would come back to find you soon? Why are you gone when I come back? Where are you?"
If there hadn't been other people around, Fang Duobing would have given her a good scolding.
Feeling a little guilty, Wu You said awkwardly, "I didn't know when you would be back, so I wandered around and got lost."
"You have the nerve to say that? Getting lost is already a blessing in disguise. Baichuan Academy is so big, if you accidentally step on some trap, and you don't know how to do those things, let's see how long you'll have to wait before someone rescues you."
"It's all just good luck that we met Sister A-Mian; these are all minor problems."
"How come you and Miss Qiao are so close? Did you know each other before?" Fang Duobing asked, looking at the two people arm in arm in front of him.
"We only met today, it's quite a coincidence, so our relationship naturally improved, right, Sister A-Mian?"
"It really feels like fate," Qiao Wanmian nodded.
"What? You just met today?" Fang Duobing asked in surprise.
"Calm down, girls are all friendly, you don't understand. By the way, why are you walking around here?" Wu You indicated that these were all minor matters.
"It's all because of you." Fang Duobing got a little angry when he mentioned this.
"Because of me? What does that have to do with me?"
"This is none of your business. You asked me what you were doing here. I couldn't find you anywhere, so I had to wait for you at the largest lotus pond in Baichuan Courtyard. Humph."
Wu You understood; Fang Duobing had taken his previous words to heart. "What a sin," he quickly muttered to himself. He felt a pang of guilt about lying to him again, and shook his head to clear his mind.
Wu You pointed to the lotus flowers in the lotus pond and said, "Look at the lotus flowers in this pond, how beautiful they are. It would be such a pity if they were destroyed."
"She is indeed beautiful, just as pretty as Li Lianhua. Never mind, I won't talk about that anymore. Where are you going?"
"We're going to have breakfast. Would Young Master Fang like to come along?" Qiao Wanmian asked.
"Of course I'm going. I've been looking for some people for ages, and I haven't even had breakfast yet. I'm starving." Fang Duobing said, rolling his eyes at Wu You, before leading the way on his own.
Wu You and Qiao Wanmian followed behind.

Lotus Tower Small Theater
Wu You: Fang Duobing, you wouldn't believe me if I hadn't told you. Did I lie to you? How come you believe me now?
Fang Duobing: You... how dare you say that? I told you to rest there for a while and that I would come find you, but when I got there, there was nothing there. I can only wait there.
Wu You: Luckily I walked away, otherwise I would have met the beautiful lady. She not only invited me into the courtyard, but also took me to have breakfast.
Fang Duobing: Is it really that simple for you girls to make friends? You're already walking hand in hand after just a short while?
Wu You: You don't understand.
Qiao Wanmian: This is fate.
