Chapter 64

"Su Rong!" Just as Ye Chu and Su Rong were talking, a voice cut in. Ye Chu turned his head and saw Chen Bowen walking over.

Ye Chu looked at Chen Bowen's pale face and couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself that this guy was really stubborn. With his injuries, he wouldn't be able to recover in less than half a month, yet he was already out after just a few days. He must be in a lot of pain.

"Brother Bowen!" Su Rong nodded and smiled at Chen Bowen, "Is there something you need?"

Chen Bowen's sudden appearance by Ye Chu and Su Rong drew everyone's attention. The originally noisy banquet hall suddenly became much quieter.

One was Ye Chu, who had returned after a notorious reputation three years ago, and the other was Chen Bowen, who had always been praised. Both men liked Su Rong, and no one knew who she would choose. Some women couldn't help but choose for themselves and suddenly found that they seemed to prefer the slightly melancholic and somewhat naughty Ye Chu.

Everyone couldn't help but perk up, their eyes fixed on the scene. Anyone could tell that there would definitely be a competition between Ye Chu and Chen Bowen.

"Here's a birthday gift for you, I hope you like it!" Chen Bowen said, taking out a gift box and handing it to Su Rong, "Open it and take a look!"

Su Rong, under Chen Bowen's gaze, nodded and took the box, opening it to reveal a crystal-clear pill inside.

"This is a pill made by a先天境 (Xiantian realm) alchemist. I originally planned to use it when I break through to the Xiantian realm. Now I'm giving it to you!" When Chen Bowen said this, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Chu. Although he seemed calm, Ye Chu could clearly see the challenge in his eyes.

"Ha..."

The young men and women of Yaocheng were stunned by Chen Bowen's gesture, thinking that he was really willing to spend a lot. Such a pill was priceless, and he was willing to give it away.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Chu, thinking that since Chen Bowen was willing to pay such a high price, Ye Chu should at least show some response. They wondered if he could match Chen Bowen.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Ye Chu curiously asked Su Rong, "Why is everyone looking at me? I can understand the women, but shouldn't the men be ashamed of my handsome face?"

Su Rong spat at Ye Chu but also knew what Zhang Suer and the others were thinking. Her face turned slightly red, "Ignore them!"

Pang Shao had long been annoyed by Chen Bowen. He could tolerate being overshadowed by Ye Chu, as he couldn't compare to Ye Chu. But he couldn't stand a pretty boy like Chen Bowen trying to show off.

"Ye Chu! Your dream girl's birthday, shouldn't you quickly give her a gift?" Pang Shao patted Ye Chu on the shoulder. He knew Ye Chu had some good things, and even a small one could surpass Chen Bowen.

"Oh!" Ye Chu glanced at Su Rong, rummaged through his pocket, and finally pulled out a paper airplane, handing it to Su Rong, "Happy birthday!"

Everyone looked at the paper airplane in Su Rong's hand, stunned. They couldn't imagine that Ye Chu's birthday gift to Su Rong was just a strange thing made of paper. Pang Shao almost fell over, "Damn! Is Ye Chu too stingy? This is his dream girl!"

"Thank you!" Su Rong took it, not showing any displeasure, but asked curiously, "What is this?"

"This? It's a model that can soar to the heavens. I spent a whole month folding it. Look, my hands even bled from the effort." Ye Chu showed his hands, and Su Rong and the others looked over. Ye Chu's hands were very fair, with no trace of blood.

"Thank you!" Su Rong wanted to laugh but felt it wasn't appropriate, so she just blushed and held back.

"No need to thank me! Although it took me a lot of time, it's worth it if you like it!" Ye Chu looked at Su Rong seriously. He thought about how he had spent a minute folding a paper airplane for Yaoyao yesterday, and she didn't like it and just put it in her pocket. He didn't expect it to be useful now.

"You two chat!" Ye Chu smiled at Chen Bowen and Su Rong, then dragged Pang Shao to the balcony.

"Ah! I have some things to do, I'll go first!" Pang Shao shivered when he saw Ye Chu looking at him and quickly ran away from the balcony. He didn't dare stand with Ye Chu.

Everyone watched as Ye Chu hid on the balcony, looking at each other in confusion, "What does this mean? Is Ye Chu giving up?"

"Does he admit he can't match Chen Bowen and is giving up?"

"What's this? Su Rong hasn't made a decision, how can he back out?"

"..."

All eyes were on Su Rong, waiting for her decision. But Su Rong didn't notice the looks and chatted with Chen Bowen.

Liang Shan couldn't help but sigh, "It's over! I thought Ye Chu could make a comeback, but it seems he can't."

But as Liang Shan sighed, he noticed that Su Rong said something to Chen Bowen and walked towards the balcony, which made his eyes light up. Others clearly noticed this too, and their hearts raced as they all looked at the balcony, which was partially hidden by curtains.

Ye Chu leaned on the balcony, looking at the cold lake in front of him, thinking that if this house were in his previous life, such a lakeside view would be highly sought after.

Su Rong came in and saw Ye Chu's hair disheveled, standing there in a very relaxed manner, which was hard to imagine for the Ye Chu from three years ago.

"Has the cold lake changed after you've been away for three years?" Su Rong asked, smiling as she saw Ye Chu staring at the lake.

"It has changed a bit! Before, I could see a beauty bathing naked in it, but now I can't see that anymore!" Ye Chu laughed.

This made Su Rong's face turn red, and she couldn't help but spit at him, but she found it funny. "Who wasn't forced by you to swim naked? You still have the nerve to say this!"

"You guys, what do you think Su Rong and Ye Chu are doing on the balcony? Will Ye Chu confess to Su Rong?"

"Hehe! Probably! It's Su Rong's birthday, and if he confesses now and succeeds, it would be a beautiful story."

"Who would have thought that Ye Chu, who was so notorious back then, would like Su Rong so much."

"..."

The voices from the other side of the balcony kept reaching their ears, one after another. The gossip became more and more exaggerated, and in the end, they said that after Ye Chu and Su Rong confessed, there would definitely be a long kiss.

This unhidden gossip reached Ye Chu and Su Rong's ears. Su Rong felt her heart racing, her face turning red. She couldn't look at Ye Chu, who was smiling at her.

Taking a few deep breaths, Su Rong finally exhaled and asked, "Is your return to Yaocheng really as they say?"

Her voice was soft and sweet, very moving. The deep affection in Ye Chu's soul spread out. This was the woman his previous soul had been infatuated with. Ye Chu was a bit dazed by this emotion and exhaled, "Do you hope so?"

Ye Chu's eyes fell on Su Rong, looking at her well-proportioned figure. They were very close, and Ye Chu could smell Su Rong's fragrance.

Su Rong's heart beat faster. She knew what her answer meant. It represented two different paths in life, and whether there would be a man like this in her future!

Ye Chu stood there, looking at Su Rong, waiting for the choice of the girl he had dreamed of in his previous life!
