Metropolis: It’s a showdown, I am the richest man in the world

In his territory...Am I being overly sentimental? Or should I say he...

Will what I just said cause her to misunderstand?

"Sister Murong, if you don't mind, I can also be a flower protector outside of school.

After hearing this, Murong Xi's mood instantly changed from sadness to joy, and a trace of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes.

. She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped, as if she was a little embarrassed.

When Lu Cang saw this, his heart tightened, fearing that he had said something wrong again.

However, at this moment, Murong Xi suddenly showed a bright smile, like a flower blooming in spring.

she said softly.

"Really? That's great. I've actually been looking forward to having a flower protector."

After hearing Murong Xi's answer, the stone in Lu Cang's heart finally fell to the ground.

He smiled slightly, his eyes showing deep tenderness and expectation.

He took a step forward and closed the distance with Murong Xi. It was as if the whole world had stopped and only the two of them were left.

Lu Cang spoke softly, his voice low and firm, as if every word carried his sincere emotions.

"Sister Murong, I am very happy to be your flower protector. I will use my actions to prove that you will not regret this decision."

He said, stretched out his hand and gently held Murong Xi's hand.

Murong Xi felt a warm current coming from Lu Cang's hand, warm and powerful.

She raised her head and met Lu Cang's affectionate gaze, her eyes shining with happiness.

A trace of doubt flashed across Murong Xi's face.

Wait, it doesn’t seem like this is going the right way!

I am so happy to mention something extraordinary...

As the night grew darker, Lu Cang and Murong Xi walked side by side on the school's tree-lined avenue.

Under the dim street lights, the two people's figures stretched out, as if time had stopped at this moment, leaving only the two of them and this road leading to the unknown.

Lu Cang turned his head from time to time and secretly observed Murong Xi.

Her profile looked softer and softer under the light, and her bright eyes were shining with stars, as if they were hiding endless secrets.

An impulse surged in his heart, wanting to know her more deeply and wanting to protect this sudden warmth.

"Sister Murong, what do you usually like?"

Lu Cang tried to break the silence and asked softly.

Murong Xi was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect Lu Cang to ask such a question.

She stopped, turned her head slightly, looked into Lu Cang's eyes, and seemed to be thinking about how to answer.

"Actually, I rarely have time to enjoy life."

Murong Xi said softly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

She raised her head and looked at the night sky in the distance, as if she was remembering something.

"Since I started working, I have been busy most of the time and rarely have the opportunity to stop and enjoy the beauty of life."

When Lu Cang heard this, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

He looked at the beautiful and strong woman in front of him and secretly vowed to make her feel the beauty of life and make her smile brighter.

In Murong Xi's words, Lu Cang felt her inner loneliness and desire for a better life.

With a thought in his heart, he decided to bring her the forgotten happiness.

"Sister Murong, from now on we agree that whenever you have free time, tell me and I will take you out for a walk to see the beauty of this world."

Lu Cang's eyes were firm and gentle, as if he wanted to convey all the warmth to Murong Xi.

Murong Xi looked at him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then joy.

She nodded and smiled in agreement.

"Okay, then we've settled on that."

So, on that night, the two hearts were tightly connected under the dim street lights, as if they had become indispensable existences in each other's lives.

On the other hand, Lin Yuan and Su Qingqing, in order to create a chance for Murong Xi and Lu Cang to be alone together, they walked out for a whole day and did not dare to go back.

It wasn't until the dormitory was about to close that Lin Yuan sent Su Qingqing back to school.

Unexpectedly, the four of them met unexpectedly at the gate of the campus. Their eyes intertwined in the night, each with different thoughts on their mind.

Murong Xi's face had a faint blush, and her eyes showed unconcealable joy. She glanced at Lu Cang secretly, and saw that he was looking at her with a burning gaze, and she couldn't help but feel confused.

Lu Cang had a gentle smile on his face, without any embarrassment at all.

Lin Yuan and Su Qingqing stood aside with awkward expressions. They looked at each other and saw helplessness and a wry smile in each other's eyes.

Lin Yuan scratched his head, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Well, Sister Murong, we should go back. Today I will go back to the suburbs. Let's go together. Lu Cang, can you take Qingqing back to the dormitory for me?"

Su Qingqing stood under the dim street lights, a little confused by Lin Yuan's sudden suggestion.

She turned to look at Lin Yuan and saw him giving Su Qingqing a look. Su Qingqing understood what Lin Yuan meant.

He is trying to assist.

"Yes, it's so late. You two should go back together as soon as possible. You still have a companion. Lu Cang and I can go back together."

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

He turned to look at Lu Cang and forced a smile.

"Then Lu Cang, please send Qingqing back to her dormitory."

Lu Cang said awkwardly.

"Um...classmate Su Qingqing and I are purely friends, don't mind."

I don't know whether Lu Cang's words were meant for Lin Yuan or Murong Xi.

The two of them actually answered together.

"Um."

The scene became awkward again. Murong Xi and Lin Yuan both lowered their heads, not knowing what to say.

Lu Cang and Su Qingqing also stood aside with embarrassed faces, and the atmosphere became extremely dull.

Suddenly, a breeze blew through, blowing away the depression in the four people's minds.

"That's settled, you guys go back as soon as possible."

Murong Xi broke the silence and said.

In this way, Lin Yuan and Murong Xi drove away from the school respectively. Murong Xi and Lu Cang were also walking towards the girls' dormitory.

Along the way, Su Qingqing kept looking for topics, trying to explore Lu Cang's feelings for Murong Xi from his words.

She wisely chose light topics, sometimes talking about interesting events on campus, sometimes sharing some interesting things in life, but her mind was always focused on the core issue.

Whenever the topic accidentally touched on Murong Xi, Su Qingqing would keenly capture Lu Cang's reaction.

The moonlight shines through the sparse clouds on the road, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet night.

Lu Cang walked beside Su Qingqing, his eyes falling in front of him from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.

Whenever Su Qingqing brought up Murong Xi subtly, he would frown slightly, then change the subject with a smile.

Really hammered! Lu Cang is interested in Murong Xi.
