The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 27 - Wedding gifts.

"Now listen to me cocky boy, you won't win an argument with me, so just give up, let me finish everything, do you understand?" said Wu Xiang Yu his face was so close to Zhi Yuan.

Zhi Yuan simply nodded, so much was raging in his mind, the disappointed faces of the people who had been helping him all this time gnashed in his brain, the young man had already been consumed by Wu Xiang Yu's shrewd words, but the young man was not very smart in terms of negotiations, and was completely subdued before Wu Xiang Yu.

Zhi Yuan took a deep breath, though,

"Alright Miss Wu, do whatever you want, and do not let the Monk Elder know the incident at that time," said Zhi Yuan his voice was so weak and wanted to settle all his affairs quickly.

Wu Xiang Yu again smiled, unable to contain his excitement.

"It should have been from the beginning that I did this, I've wasted the energy of telling her my feelings," inner Wu Xiang Yu.

"Good, that's what I want to hear, we'll try to make this match for 3 years, if it fails at least we've done our best, what do you think?" asked Wu Xiang Yu.

"Three years?" that's all that comes out of his duck-like lips.

"True, three years, now it's getting serious" Wu Xiang Yu said and stared at Zhi Yuan's parcel on the table.

The woman took the parcel looking at her fixedly, and occasionally hugged her gently and kissed her.

"It's fragrant" Wu Xiang Yu muttered as if talking to himself.

Zhi Yuan slightly frowned and thought that the woman had a slight disorder, and the woman was now talking again.

"I've found out who you are, you don't have parents, so this package is a wedding gift from you, and me, and I, Wu Xiang Yu received a wedding gift from my future husband Zhi Yuan," Wu Xiang Yu's face was filled with steadiness.

Zhi Yuan swallowed the saliva that was like it was stuck in his throat, the woman placed the cloth pack so carefully on the table and opened it, the woman, those slightly taper teeth again adorned Wu Xiang Yu's beautiful smile upon seeing the contents of the Zhi Yuan parcel.

"It's perfect" Wu Xiang Yu muttered, his long, wiry fingers were so agile at playing the sewing kit.

"Take off your clothes" Wu Xiang Yu said, as he saw some tears on the elbow of Zhi Yuan's clothes.

"Ta-pi" Zhi Yuan's words were interrupted as Wu Xiang Yu's head shook with a fierce look.

The fourteen-year-old just obediently and removed his robe, and was like so happy Wu Xiang Yu did his so skillfully, so skillfully, the woman seemed to not care about cutting her expensive clothes to patch up Zhi Yuan's worn clothes.

"Great Miss Wu what are you doing?" shouted Zhi Yuan, seeing that the expensive clothes were cut like worthless, although it was used if Wu Xiang Yu's clothes were sold would definitely get dozens of pieces of servant clothes like those of Zhi Yuan.

"I've started doing my duties as your future wife, husband's clothes reflect the sincerity of the wife, how about you, when did you start doing your duty?" said Wu Xiang Yu who was like so busy without caring for Zhi Yuan's reply.

Zhi Yuan's eyes only stared towards the right and left not knowing what to say.

Wu Xiang Yu's face looked so serious doing the work, occasionally wiping the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand.

"A little bit more, this is done" said Wu Xiang Yu biting the thread with his teeth,

The woman looked so relieved that she had finished her stitches and folded up Zhi Yuan's servant robe wrapping it into one with the sewing tool earlier.

"Miss is big, but my clothes?" ask Zhi Yuan.

Wu Xiang Yu simply shook his head,

Zhi Yuan who was wearing thin clothes without a cloak just tailed the tall nosed woman, they traced the streets of Jingyang city that had started to glow with thousands of lanterns lit, they said, they became the center of attention because Wu Xiang Yu looked so beautiful and carefree, very different from the usual ones, she said, the two of them looked like big brother because Zhi Yuan's face was so young yet their height was almost the same.

After a few hours both of them had already sat in a small tavern with warm food, Zhi Yuan was now wearing dark and expensive clothes, like the young man was unable to resist the wishes of Wu Xiang Yu, who was not able to resist, the two enjoyed the meal with a little talk, it seemed that Zhi Yuan was already not so awkward anymore.

"Sister Yu you've spent three gold coins on all my clothes, I don't know when I can pay you" Zhi Yuan said, who did not know one earring Wu Xiang Yu for 90 gold coins.

"it's really delicious" said Wu Xiang Yu, who pretended not to hear Zhi Yuan's words.

Zhi Yuan nodded, and began to enjoy the warm meal.

"You're right big brother Yu, I go to this place once a month after receiving my monthly salary" said Zhi Yuan.

Wu Xiang Yu stopped his meal, looked at Zhi Yuan's face that was still eating, his chest felt so tight, heard the young man's words, without realizing it a drop of tears flowed back from the corner of his eyes, her fingers wanted to touch Zhi Yuan's cheeks but undo them, the woman stared at the fingers that had already slapped Zhi Yuan's cheeks.

"Is it still sick?" wu Xiang Yu asked so gently, her eyes filled with regret.

Zhi Yuan frowned like he did not understand, and when he saw the woman staring at his fingers, the young man recalled Wu Xiang Yu's slap.

Zhi Yuan bit his upper lip as he shook his head looking at the teary eyes of Wu Xiang Yu the two letters on Zhi Yuan's cheeks were sore.

"no" said the young man.

"Maybe my words are a thousand times more painful than your slap big brother Yuyue, so forgive me," Zhi Yuan said, momentarily looking into the woman's eyes.

Wu Xiang Yu nodded,

"already...forget it!! we should eat" said Wu Xiang Yu, while hiding his face,

"What's wrong with me? why am I so sensitive today, I even shed tears twice in a day for the sake of this young man, this is the first time I cried after my parents died," inner Wu Xiang Yu and quickly wiped his tears.

"Sister Yuyue, while in the river I saw tongues of fire coming out of your body, what is the brother of the firebender?" asked Zhi Yuan while remaining his face immersed in his food bowl.

Wu Xiang Yu who had started to get distracted, looked excited again.

"hemmm..it's the shield of the Fire Phoenix, I'm the servant of the Temple of holy fire, that flame will protect me from anyone who touches my body without the will of my heart, tongues of fire will protect me even if I am unconscious" Wu Xiang Yu said.

"Zhi Yuan, you know today my life is so colorful and fun, even though from the look in your eyes I know you don't like me, but I'm glad you don't hate me either," said Wu Xiang Yu, his smile was forced.

"I'm sorry miss, I mean big brother Yu, but I've never liked anyone before" Zhi Yuan said.

"really? I was relieved to hear that, at first I thought you and Miss Xiao liked each other, because that woman liked you so much" Wu Xiang Yu said.

Zhi Yuan smiled faintly, while shaking his head,

"it's impossible, big brother Ling only considers me a sister, after all the woman is so fierce" said Zhi Yuan.

Wu Xiang Yu simply raised his eyebrows and slightly laid his body on the table to get closer to Zhi Yuan's face, and spoke a little whispered.

"sister? it's just your stupid thinking, he can fool everyone, but not me, me too women, and me. I can see his eyes always sparkle when he sees your face, even when he scolded you," Wu Xiang Yu said.
