Chapter 771: To Try Dating

How… How long had he been there?
How… How much had he heard?
Su Yi had always thought that she had been trained to be very calm after the past few years. Although she was trying her best to suppress her emotions at this moment, she still wanted to quickly burrow into a hole in the ground and hide!
How embarrassing!
It was too embarrassing!
“I went to buy something.” Lu Yubai let out a low cough to hide his embarrassment. He took a look at Cheng Ye and quickly changed the subject. “Xiao Ye is here.”
Cheng Ye stood up politely to help him carry the things and greeted, “Hello, Teacher Lu.”
Then, he stole a look at Su Yi. Teacher Lu seemed to have heard everything. Sister Su Yi’s face was as red as a cooked prawn.
Cheng Ye helped put the items away. The little fool suddenly became smart. He somehow felt like he was being an ultra-large lightbulb here. He smiled at the duo and spoke nervously. “Sister Su Yi, Teacher Lu, I have something to do so I’ll be leaving now!”
Su Yi wanted to clutch onto Cheng Ye and not let him leave, but after the little brother finished speaking, he slipped away like a rabbit with oiled feet. Before she could call out to him, she watched helplessly as the little brother disappeared. She was speechless and choked with tears inside her heart!
It was over!
What was she going to tell Teacher Lu?
After the little brother left, the atmosphere became even more awkward.
Lu Yubai was packing things up. He removed the packaging on the cups and toiletries he had bought and put them away seriously.
Su Yi felt terrible all over. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him. Out of the corner of her eye though, she could not help but want to see what he was doing.
Neither of them spoke for two whole minutes.
In the end, Su Yi was the one who mustered her courage and forced herself to look up at the man opposite her. She was so nervous that her voice changed. She took a deep breath. “Teacher Lu, I’m saying that I admire and like your talent very much. Don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean anything else.”
Pitiful!
Who was as pitiful as her?
She wanted to die. Teacher Lu had not said anything. He should only be taking care of her as a junior. If she liked him, she should just like him in her heart. Would they not even be able to be friends if she voiced it out loud?
Then, she took a careful look at the man who was rearranging the flowers. His slender fingers placed the trimmed lilies stalk by stalk in a pretty vase filled with water.
His eyes were lowered slightly. From her position, she could only see his exquisite side profile, which emitted an attractive charm.
She held her breath. At that moment, every second felt like torture to her. She did not know what he would say or how he would answer. Just as she was about to speak again, the man suddenly spoke.
“Su Yi.” Lu Yubai suddenly lifted his head and looked at the girl on the bed seriously. His thin lips moved slightly as he said, “Let’s try dating!”
Su Yi’s eyes widened suddenly as she looked at him in disbelief. Her eyes were a little moist as she stuttered, “Teacher… Lu, you’re joking, right!”
Dating?
The two of them?
She did not know if she was surprised or shocked, but she only felt as though she was in a dream. She pinched herself suddenly, and it hurt.
Upon seeing the girl pinch herself, Lu Yubai put down the flowers nervously. He strode to her side in two to three steps and grasped her hand. “Does it hurt?”
Su Yi shook her head, then nodded again. It h-hurt. Tears sparkled in her eyes. She asked him in disbelief once more, “Teacher Lu, is what you said true?”
She did not want to let go of him, nor did she want to be his junior only!
