This is Love! Everyone's Dehua!

Looking at the Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum held out before him, Chrysanthemum Douluo was completely stunned.

That golden, shimmering immortal herb hovered quietly in front of him, radiating a warm glow.

Every petal was crystal clear, containing a vast amount of energy.

Is... is this real?

Chrysanthemum Douluo subconsciously reached out his hand, trembling as he touched the immortal herb.

The sensation against his skin told him this was no dream!

"Old Ghost~ you..."

His voice choked up so severely that Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't even form a complete sentence.

He never imagined that Ghost Douluo would actually give up the immortal herb most suited to himself to trade for this Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum for him.

This was the treasure he had lost just yesterday!

It was the immortal herb he had dreamed of day and night!

It was the treasure he hadn't been able to keep even after crying his eyes out!

And now... now it had actually returned to his hands!

"What are you crying for!"

Ghost Douluo turned his head away, looking somewhat awkward, a trace of unnaturalness flashing across his dark, obscured face.

"You're a grown man, crying at the drop of a hat like a woman! I hate it when you act like this!"

His raspy voice was not gentle at all; it even sounded somewhat harsh.

"Get up already! What kind of look is it to be squatting on the ground like that!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo clutched the Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum tightly, but his tears flowed even more fiercely.

This time, it wasn't out of sadness, but being moved.

Just as Ghost Douluo was still there awkwardly lecturing Chrysanthemum Douluo, suddenly—

"Old Ghost!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo sprang up from the ground, and before Ghost Douluo could react, Chrysanthemum Douluo threw himself into his arms without any warning!

"What the hell!"

Ghost Douluo panicked completely.

What was going on?

Why did this guy Yue Guan suddenly hug him?

He hadn't been mentally prepared for this at all!

"Yue Guan, have you lost your mind?! Let go of me!"

Ghost Douluo's face turned the color of liver instantly. He tried desperately to push Chrysanthemum Douluo away, but the other man held on with a death grip.

"I won't let go!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's nose stung, his voice thick with tears.

"Old Ghost, you're too good to me!"

"I... I'm so moved I could cry!"

"Who asked you to be moved!"

Ghost Douluo hopped around in a panic. "Let go of me! How embarrassing if someone sees us!"

Unfortunately, Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't listen at all; instead, he hugged him even tighter.

This scene left Hu Liena and the other two standing nearby completely dumbfounded.

Yan's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets. "Holy crap... they're hugging, they're actually hugging!"

Xie Yue's mouth twitched. "I feel like we've just seen something we weren't supposed to..."

Hu Liena was so excited she couldn't even speak, only trembling as she gasped for air.

But in her heart, she was screaming loudly: This is love!

As for Lin Feng, who was sitting in a rocking chair, his expression had become quite spectacular.

To be honest, as a transmigrator, what kind of scenes hadn't he seen?

But he really had never seen a scene like this!

He never expected that two grown men could put on a show like this...

Lin Feng's eye twitched uncontrollably as he watched the two Title Douluo hugging in front of him, feeling completely unwell.

What was going on? He was running a restaurant, not some strange establishment!

And that little fox on the side!

What are you blushing so hard for?

Are you excited?

You must be excited, right?!

"Let go of me! Senior is still watching!"

Mentioning Lin Feng finally calmed Chrysanthemum Douluo down.

He reluctantly released the other, though his gaze remained tenderly fixed on Ghost Douluo's profile.

"Um... Senior..."

Ghost Douluo's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, his voice trembling slightly.

"What we were just doing... it isn't what you think..."

"Old Ghost is right!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly explained as well, though the way his eyes seemed practically glued to Ghost Douluo made his words entirely unconvincing.

"We were just... just too excited!"

Excited, my foot!

Lin Feng inwardly ranted, but on the surface, he merely raised a hand dismissively, signaling that he had no interest in their private lives.

"Enough, whether your relationship is good or not has nothing to do with me."

Lin Feng leaned lazily against his rocking chair, his tone laced with an impatience that screamed, "Don't show off your affection in front of me."

"This is a restaurant, not an emotional mediation center."

Hearing this, Ghost Douluo's face darkened further; he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, however, didn't care in the slightest, instead hugging the Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum with a look of pure satisfaction.

Just then, Ghost Douluo suddenly remembered something and whipped his head around to look at Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"That's right, Yue Guan!"

Ghost Douluo's tone turned serious.

"You shouldn't be thanking me the most for getting the Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum back."

Chrysanthemum Douluo paused, looking up at Ghost Douluo in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

Watching his old partner's blank expression, Ghost Douluo felt the urge to rap him on the head right then and there.

But in the end, he only reached out and poked Chrysanthemum Douluo's forehead hard.

"You idiot!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo stumbled from the poke, pointing a dainty finger at Ghost Douluo as he complained, "Old Ghost, you're bullying me again!"

"Bullying you?" Ghost Douluo snorted coldly. "I think your head is filled with nothing but flower petals!"

"Think carefully: why would Senior Lin reward me with an immortal herb?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo blinked, still looking lost. "Because you performed well."

"Then why specifically include the Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum among the choices?"

"Because... because..." Chrysanthemum Douluo stammered for a long time, unable to come up with a reason.

Ghost Douluo poked his forehead viciously again. "You blockhead!"

"Senior Lin must have seen how pitiful you were, which is why he brought up the idea of rewarding me!"

"But why wasn't the Senior's reward a boost in soul power or a martial soul evolution, but an immortal herb instead?"

"And the fact that he specifically placed the Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum among the options—doesn't that mean he anticipated I would choose it and then hand it over to you?"

"When it comes down to it, Senior is simply kind-hearted and wanted to use my hands to give the immortal herb to you!"

"The one who truly wanted to help you is Senior Lin."

Boom!

These words struck like a bolt of lightning, crashing directly into Chrysanthemum Douluo's mind.

He widened his eyes, looking at Lin Feng in disbelief.

"Senior... you..."

Lin Feng leaned back in his rocking chair, his expression as calm as water, neither admitting nor denying anything.

In truth, he was completely speechless; how could this Ghost Douluo have such a vivid imagination?

He had given Gui Mei a reward simply to cultivate his initiative in worrying about the business of Maple Dye Pavilion.

He rewarded an immortal herb only because that was all he had on hand!

As for using Gui Mei to pass the Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum to Chrysanthemum Douluo?

Don't be ridiculous; he hadn't even expected Gui Mei to give up his own immortal herb for the sake of Yue Guan!

Yet, this very attitude only made everyone present feel that Ghost Douluo had hit upon the truth.

Hu Liena covered her mouth, her eyes filled with reverence. "Senior is truly so gentle... he really... I'm going to cry..."
