Chapter 38: Diablo 35

 Tang Wan was immediately awakened by the voice. She opened her eyes groggily and let out a small yawn, looking like a sleepy little cat—delicate and adorable.

Tang Yitong felt his heart tremble at the sight. Then he realized Lu Yi was standing nearby and quickly got up, shifting his position to block Tang Wan from view.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Lu Yi, Yun Nuan, and the others had already seen the scene just now.

“Awake? Drink some orange juice to soothe your throat.” Tang Yitong handed her a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Tang Wan let out a soft hum and took two sips through the straw.

Only then did she notice Lu Yi and the others standing nearby. She lazily raised her eyes toward them. “What a coincidence.”

Hearing this, Lu Rongrong finally recovered from the shock of seeing Tang Wan’s sleepy appearance. She coughed lightly and said, “What a coincidence indeed. Why did you come here for vacation?”

“Nothing much to do after the New Year. It’s too cold back home, but it’s warm here,” Tang Wan replied casually.

Lu Rongrong nodded, though she was slightly unhappy seeing Tang Wan had no intention of chatting further.

So she continued, “Just the two of you?”

“Who else would there be?” Tang Wan asked back.

Lu Rongrong instantly felt awkward.

Given Tang Wan’s family situation... it really didn’t seem likely that her family would vacation together.

At that moment, Lu Yi suddenly looked at Tang Wan and said, “Hello, I’m Lu Yi, Rongrong’s brother. Mind if we sit here?”

Yun Nuan immediately looked at Lu Yi in shock after hearing that.

Even Lu Rongrong seemed surprised.

Meanwhile, Tang Yitong stared fixedly at Tang Wan, waiting for her answer.

Tang Wan almost laughed seeing his darkened eyes and tense expression.

Then she looked at Lu Yi and said, “Of course you can.”

The moment Tang Yitong heard that, his heart tightened instantly.

His mind was racing uncontrollably.

Unexpectedly, the very next second, Tang Wan stood up and said to the group, “Tongtong and I have already rested enough anyway. We’re going to play on the beach now. You guys can sit here.”

Then she grabbed Tang Yitong’s wrist. “Why are you still standing there? Let’s go!”

Tang Yitong snapped back to his senses.

The tightly knotted feeling in his chest melted instantly into sweetness, and he couldn’t stop the smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Lu Yi watched the two of them leave, a trace of amusement flashing across his face.

Yun Nuan, who had been secretly observing Lu Yi’s expression the whole time, felt her heart sink. Her hands unconsciously clenched tightly.

Lu Yi... was he interested in Tang Wan?

No way!

She absolutely couldn’t let Tang Wan steal Lu Yi away from her!

…

After spending the entire afternoon at the beach, Tang Wan suddenly wanted barbecue for dinner.

Tang Yitong immediately rented a barbecue grill and began grilling seafood for her by the shore.

Not long after the two started eating, Lu Yi and the others appeared again.

“Mind if we join you? I’m actually pretty good at grilling too,” Lu Yi said with a gentle smile.

Yun Nuan’s expression became even uglier after hearing that, and she stared directly at Tang Wan.

What happened this afternoon could still be dismissed as coincidence.

But now?

Even Tang Wan was speechless seeing them again.

Why did they keep running into each other?

“Sorry, the rental place over there has grilling equipment too if you want barbecue. I don’t like eating with outsiders,” Tang Wan rejected them immediately.

She really didn’t want to get involved with the heroine at all.

Then she secretly called out to Little Cutie in her mind, “Little Cutie, why do I feel like something’s off? Tongtong and I are just cannon fodder and villains, so why do the male and female leads keep coming over to us?”

Little Cutie sounded equally depressed. “I don’t know either. Anyway, you should stay away from them.”

“That’s exactly what I think,” Tang Wan replied inwardly.

She didn’t want to get struck by disaster because of the male and female leads!

In her eyes, those two were basically walking calamities!
