Chapter 945: Chapter 945 Are You Willing to Give a Chance

The two went to the side hall to have breakfast. Lu Jianxi’s servant brought over some steaming hot porridge and steamed buns. She smiled and said, "Conditions here are indeed this rough; I hope Long San doesn’t look down upon it."

"I don’t eat much anyway, and I prefer light food. Normally, I just like to drink tea," Long San picked up a steamed bun and slowly began to eat, all the while looking at Lu Jianxi.

"Don’t you know that it’s very impolite to keep staring at a lady?" Lu Jianxi also grabbed a bun and began to gnaw at it with big bites.

"Don’t you think that if a lady is being looked at by a man, it precisely indicates that the lady is beautiful? If I didn’t look, that would be a problem with you," Long San’s tone remained calm, gentle, and even serious.

That’s why many ladies in Jianghu couldn’t forget him—it was because Long San always spoke to the ladies with great admiration, something he probably wasn’t even aware of himself.

And yet, the ladies were especially fond of this approach, even if he was unrelentingly cold at times.

"By Long San’s logic, is it Jianxi’s fault both ways?" Lu Jianxi lifted her bowl of porridge and spoke as she drank.

"No, being beautiful is not a fault. The fault lies in Long’s inability to restrain himself," Long San lifted his porridge and also began to drink.

If it were anyone else who had spoken like this, Lu Jianxi would probably have already pressed her sword against his throat, but she couldn’t bring herself to dislike Long San and instead found him amusing.

"Do you always talk to girls this way, Lord Long San?" Lu Jianxi asked.

"You just said you weren’t a lady. Now you consider yourself a girl again?" Long San smiled as he looked at her.

Lu Jianxi laughed openly, "Then you tell me, is it true or not?"

"I haven’t made a summary of this point, but I treat all girls more or less the same. I believe girls need to be cherished, just like flowers, requiring someone to admire them and care for them attentively," Long San said.

"Even someone as strong as me?" In fact, Lu Jianxi had already toned down her fierceness, and her eyes had long since revealed a flirtatious look.

Long San smiled, "That depends on whether you’re willing to give me a chance."

"To protect me, you’d have to be stronger than me," Lu Jianxi stated confidently.

"Not necessarily," Long San looked at Lu Jianxi, "When stone meets stone, they might create sparks, but they can also damage each other. However, when stone meets cotton, the stone can be warmly treated by the cotton, and the cotton can rely on the stone’s strength, so they can be better together."

Lu Jianxi put down her chopsticks, "So, Lord Long San means that you’re more suitable for me? We have only met twice, and you use such an example—don’t you think you’re being frivolous? Besides, you don’t know me at all. The person you like is Nan Feng. Are you trying to use your words to provoke me today, hoping I would drop my fondness for Ye Ge and instead start liking you?"

Long San still smiled as he looked at Lu Jianxi, "It’s a pity our conversation has to end in such an unpleasant atmosphere. But I don’t believe I’m being provocative. My affection for Nan Feng has already faded over time, and I simply wanted to get to know you better. However, since you don’t accept my thoughts, then we must end our conversation here. Thank you for the breakfast."

After saying this, Long San left the side hall.

Lu Jianxi watched Long San’s retreating figure with a complex expression.

...

Not long after Long San left Lu Jianxi, the butler came to report that Nan Feng had awakened and now Ye Ge was allowing everyone to visit Nan Feng.
