Chapter 1108: Chapter 578: I Have Someone in My Heart

After chatting for a while, the shopkeeper’s gaze started shifting between Gu Sheng and Lan Hua, then she smiled and said, "Gu Sheng, this is the first time Lan Hua has brought a guest for me. It seems you’re someone special to her."

At her words, Lan Hua couldn’t help but blush.

"Stop talking nonsense."

She playfully scolded, glancing upward at Gu Sheng. After taking one look, she quickly averted her gaze, looking every bit the shy maiden.

"Wow, did I hit a nerve with just one comment? Lan Hua, I didn’t expect you to like this type. Gu Sheng, our Lan Hua has never shown interest in anyone before, so you’d better make the most of it."

In an instant, Lan Hua’s face turned a deep red, as she kept tugging at her friend’s sleeve, but couldn’t stop her from speaking.

As the two of them laughed and joked, Hong Mei’s expression had turned extremely dark.

Lan Yao and the others sensed the tense atmosphere here, breaking out in cold sweat. Lan Yao kept nudging Gu Sheng, signaling him to speak up.

"You’ve misunderstood. Lan Hua and I aren’t in the kind of relationship you’re thinking of. We are just purely friends."

As soon as Gu Sheng spoke, the redness on Lan Hua’s face faded quite a bit, turning into a look of awkwardness.

"Exactly, I’ve been saying all along, we aren’t that kind of relationship."

Looking at Gu Sheng, Lan Hua’s friend frowned.

"How can you not be interested in someone as outstanding as our Lan Hua? Are you even a man?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng furrowed his brows.

"Who I like doesn’t have anything to do with whether I’m a man. I already have someone in my heart, and she’s right here, so I can’t joke about this."

Instinctively, Lan Hua’s gaze fell on Hong Mei’s face. She pressed her lips tightly, a clear hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Hong Mei also didn’t expect Gu Sheng to be so blunt, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

Seeing neither side speaking, Gu Sheng turned to look at Hong Mei.

"Even though I’ve never said it, you should know how I feel, right?"

Looking at him, Hong Mei nodded forcefully.

He wanted to use up all his spiritual energy to heal her; how could she not know his feelings? It’s just that neither of them wanted to break the unspoken understanding, so she endured it all.

Seeing Hong Mei nod, Gu Sheng curved his lips into a smile.

"My beloved said she knows."

When Gu Sheng said this, Lan Hua’s friend’s face turned dark.

After Lan Hua finished speaking, her friend’s eyes widened in anger.

"You fool, we’ve known each other for years, do you think I can’t see what you’re thinking? I was clearly helping you, and instead, you’re pushing people away. Are you stupid?"

Having her feelings exposed again, Lan Hua felt utterly embarrassed.

Before knowing Gu Sheng liked Hong Mei, she wanted her friend to help express her feelings, letting Gu Sheng know her intentions, hoping it might bring them closer. But now that Gu Sheng had been open, saying anything more would just make her more embarrassed.

"Enough! Stop it! I’ve never had such thoughts, don’t joke about our relationship anymore!"

Lan Hua was clearly angry, her face flushed with anger, looking entirely different from before.

To maintain her remaining dignity, she reached out to grab the keys next to her.

Seeing her action, her friend grabbed her hand.

"He already has someone in his heart and you still want him to stay here? Tell him to get lost! He can come back when his heart is clear! Otherwise, I won’t accommodate him here!"

"Stop fooling around!"

"I’m not fooling around! Everyone except you, get lost!"

Hearing these repeated demands to leave, Gu Sheng gave her a cold glance, then said to Lan Hua, "There are plenty of inns in the Southern City, we’ll just find another one. You stay here, and we’ll see each other tomorrow."
