Chapter 1073: 021 Different Likes_4

Before Dong Qing could respond, Xia Zheng changed his mind again, "No, let’s go with the white one."

Dong Qing’s mouth twitched, and he silently decided to bring out all the clothes later for him to choose from.

While the two were enthusiastically picking out clothes, a young servant suddenly hurried in, "Second Master Su has arrived, he says he’ll enter the palace with you."

With a rip, Xia Zheng, not controlling his strength, tore a big hole in the light green robe embroidered with bamboo patterns that he had finally chosen to his liking.

Xia Zheng, with a face full of hatred, threw away the robe, "Su Tianrui! What does he want with me if not entering the palace!"

The young servant swallowed nervously and before he could reply, he heard Su Tianrui’s infuriating voice already coming in from outside, "Of course, it’s to accompany you to the palace!"

Ignoring Xia Zheng’s deadly glare, Su Tianrui kicked the robe on the ground and chuckled, "I just met the general and the princess at the entrance, the general said you were sick. Tsk tsk, look at you tearing up that robe to shreds, you’re even stronger than before, where’s the slightest bit of illness? Come on, let’s go to the palace. I heard this year’s palace banquet will have Yecheng An family’s exclusive good wine. Though they didn’t get the title of Imperial Merchant, the drink is truly exceptional, guaranteed to make you forget all your troubles after a couple of sips."

Saying this, he reached for Xia Zheng’s arm.

What a coincidence that this annoying guy showed up just now, Xia Zheng almost hated him to death, how could he let him touch him?

Snatching away his hand violently, Xia Zheng’s eyes, tumultuous with dark waves, shot straight into Su Tianrui’s, "Su Tianrui, if you still want to be friends with me, get out as soon as I finish this sentence. If not, I, Xia Zheng, won’t mind crossing you off my list for life."

Having known Xia Zheng for more than a decade, it was the first time Su Tianrui saw him speak so earnestly, and he was momentarily stunned, "You."

"Don’t think I don’t know just because you don’t tell me." Xia Zheng narrowed his eyes, "I remember telling you more than once that I only see your sister as a sibling, with no romantic feelings involved. Last time you leaked my whereabouts to her, allowing her to look for me in Zhuma Town, and I haven’t settled that with you. Today you came to find me to go to the palace together, don’t think I don’t know what you’re playing at."

Su Tianrui rubbed his nose in silence, managing a bitter smile, "What, what are you talking about? I just simply wanted to enter the palace with you, we haven’t seen each other for a year, I truly..."

Xia Zheng interrupted him, snorting coldly, "Did you really come on your own? Isn’t Su Qiuyu waiting outside?"

Su Tianrui choked, at a loss for words. He was indeed in a difficult position, caught between his good friend on one side and his own sister on the other; the saying ’both are dear to me’ applied perfectly. He had hoped the two of them could come together, but as time went on, he began to doubt whether his matchmaking was a mistake, and perhaps, as Xia Zheng said, they were meant to be just siblings.

Seeing his silence, Xia Zheng turned back to continue selecting clothes, but felt dissatisfied with everything he looked at, casting an annoyed glance at Su Tianrui, "Were my words not clear enough, or are you really planning to turn your back on our friendship?"

Su Tianrui, speechless, twitched the corner of his mouth, "Fine, I’m leaving. But Ah Zheng, she’s my only sister, naturally, I wish to fulfill all her desires. I admit I did you wrong before, but I was also helpless. Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to persuade her."

After a pause, the smile returned to Su Tianrui’s face as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened, "You haven’t been back in the capital for a year, Xiao Bai and I have missed you terribly. We must have a proper get-together soon. I heard you’ve made quite a fortune this past year with a restaurant and selling potatoes. You can’t refuse this treat."

Xia Zheng still cared about his friend Su Tianrui; otherwise, he wouldn’t have wasted his breath saying all that.

"Alright, I won’t write the name Little Tyrant upside down until I’ve drunk this wily fox under the table!"

With a burst of laughter, Su Tianrui exclaimed, "Little Tyrant, Little Turtle, for this new title of yours, I’ll have to put in more effort!"

Bang!

A teapot flew by Su Tianrui’s cheek, crashing against the door.
