A sudden furious roar from Lulu sent Fei Fei and the guards standing around her rolling their eyes. Even Wu Yan, standing five meters away, felt his head swell and nearly dropped the sword in his hand. Lulu strode up to Wu Yan with an angry face and pointed at his nose. "This is what you meant by leaving it to you? Are you here to ask for help or to be a joke?"
Should Wu Yan have felt accomplished for making the lively Lulu this furious?
Seeing Lulu's enraged expression, Wu Yan shrank his head back and gave an embarrassed grin. "Well, wasn't I trying to lighten the mood?..."
"You... you're hopeless..." Lulu lowered her hand weakly. Faced with a rascal like Wu Yan, she admitted she was completely helpless.
"That's not quite fair... Didn't it work pretty well?..."
At that moment, Fei Fei and the guards all felt as though their minds could not quite keep up.
It looked like this man was quite familiar with Lilu. But if they were acquaintances, why had they not greeted each other from the start?
Fei Fei, meanwhile, had even more on her mind. As both Lulu's guardian and bodyguard, she knew that Lulu had never made friends with the opposite sex. Even among girls, she did not have many friends.
Where had this person come from? She had never heard that Lilu had such a friend. And when had she started making male friends? Why did I not know about it? And judging by the looks of it, they even wanted to hide the fact that they knew each other. What was going on?
Watching Wu Yan and Lulu still fooling around in the distance, Fei Fei's doubts were practically soaring into the sky.
"Um... may I ask who you are?" Fei Fei decided it would be better to ask.
The two, who had been messing around happily, both froze when they heard Fei Fei's voice. Once they came back to their senses, Lulu realized something very serious.
"Right, what's your name? I still don't know it."
Wu Yan felt as though a nerve in his head had snapped. This half-airheaded girl really left him speechless. So you only just remembered that you do not know my name...
Fei Fei was even more confused. Weren't they supposed to look very familiar? What kind of friendship was it where they could be so familiar without even knowing each other's names?
Shaking his head helplessly, Wu Yan waved at Fei Fei and said with a grin, "My name is Wu Yan. Hello there, beautiful."
"Oh, so your name is Wu Yan..." said a certain half-airheaded girl in sudden realization.
"Mr. Wu Yan, hello. My name is Fei Fei." Seeing that Wu Yan did not seem to be a bad person after all, Fei Fei relaxed somewhat, though the doubts in her heart remained unresolved.
"May I ask if you know our Lilu?"
At Fei Fei's words, Wu Yan and Lulu immediately exchanged glances. After a moment of silence, they spoke in unison:
"We don't know each other!"
Fei Fei's eyebrow twitched. Looking at the two before her, who were strangely in sync, she forced out a smile.
"I... Is that so?... Then, you came here to..."
It seemed that Fei Fei believed Wu Yan had come looking for Lulu.
Wu Yan scratched his head awkwardly. How was he supposed to put this? Was he supposed to tell her that he did not know the way out of Giant Beast Forest, so he had come to ask for directions? That... seemed rather embarrassing...
Lulu actually wanted to tell him that he had already embarrassed himself enough.
With a helpless shrug, Wu Yan could only say, "Actually, I was just passing by to buy soy sauce..."
"..." Fei Fei no longer knew what to say. Normally, if someone did not want to explain, she could not force them. If Wu Yan had been an irrelevant stranger, she could have simply ignored him. But no matter how she looked at it, he and Lulu seemed to know each other. For a moment, even capable and sharp-minded Fei Fei was left at a loss by Wu Yan's shamelessness...
