My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 147 - 136: Oh

"Don’t make trouble."

Si Yujie looked at Shu Li, her beautiful face expressionless: "Otherwise, I’ll send you back to the Imperial Capital right now."

"This isn’t making trouble."

Shu Li seemed a bit incredulous and replied, "I think you guys are strange. Why don’t you try to persuade Chen Lu after knowing he wants to leave the Celestial Strategy Mansion? He’s so strong, even mastering Xia Yue Celestial Strategy’s ’Fury.’ If he leaves, wouldn’t it be a loss for your Third Squad?

Yes, the Celestial Strategy Mansion did perform poorly in the Monkey Anomaly Realm, which was quite disappointing, but mistakes can be corrected.

And it’s not like your Third Squad did anything wrong, so why aren’t you concerned?

You don’t even want to try persuading him!?"

"..."

Si Yujie was slightly stunned, then turned her head to glance at Xia Panqiu beside her.

The Third Squad didn’t do anything wrong...

Those words.

Are really hard to say.

As for why they didn’t try to persuade him...

The main reason for Xia Panqiu was guilt; after all, she contributed to Chen Lusi’s bad impression of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

And Wu You, partly because during the recent recruitment incident, he advocated leaving Chen Lusi behind and then swapped positions with him at a critical moment.

Even though they talked it out afterward,

Deep down, he still felt guilty and embarrassed.

In short—he felt he hadn’t left a good impression on Chen Lusi, so he didn’t dare to try persuading him.

As for herself... she could persuade, but because she had assumed Chen Lusi would be transferred or leave, she didn’t think of it at the time.

Si Yujie was still deep in thought.

On the other side.

Shu Li followed her gaze and looked at Xia Panqiu as well, realizing: "Wait, you wouldn’t have also..."

You wouldn’t have also done something dumb, right?

Shu Li wanted to ask that question.

But considering she was being disliked, she cut herself off midway.

However, even though she didn’t finish her sentence,

it wasn’t hard to understand.

Xia Panqiu pursed her glossy red lips, looked down at her shoes, letting her pretty short hair cover her face.

Feeling a bit embarrassed.

If she hadn’t done something dumb before, she would’ve gone to persuade him already...

And her actions almost amounted to tacit confirmation.

"Then you definitely need to clear things up!"

Shu Li understood... that the Third Squad has issues too, but she’s evidently not someone who backs down in the face of difficulty.

After coming to this conclusion, she directly walked briskly over to Xia Panqiu, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her out: "What are you still doing here! I don’t know what you did, but if he really quits, can you accept it? Definitely not, right? So rather than regretting it later, why not try persuading him now?

No matter the outcome, you’ll feel better, won’t you?"

Xia Panqiu initially wanted to resist, but hearing Shu Li’s words, she suddenly stopped.

Taking advantage of this pause,

Shu Li successfully dragged her out of Celestial Strategy Trading.

"Go, go, go, take me to Chen Lusi. If nothing else works, I’ll let him punch me once more. As long as he doesn’t use his full strength, I can definitely take it, trust me!"

Shu Li’s voice echoed in the distance.

Si Yujie watched the ’two who were being disliked’ leave, frowning slightly.

"Actually, Shu Li has a point. My Heart Sound Reflection tells me this is the right choice."

Wu You looked at the exit and suddenly said, "Anyway, there’s nothing to lose... let them try, shall we? I actually can’t bear to see Chen Lusi go; you feel the same way, right?"

Si Yujie said nothing. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Elsewhere.

Other members of Shu Li’s squad watched their captain leave excitedly, expressionless.

They seemed used to it.

...

At the same time.

"...a dress?"

Chen Lusi turned around, slightly stunned by Lin Ying’s outfit today.

Lin Ying wore an ethereal, pure white long dress with a simple but flowing cut that accentuated her curvaceous figure. A small portion of her fair calf peeked out from beneath the skirt, adding a final touch of femininity.

"Not nice?"

Lin Ying raised the hem of her dress slightly, showing it off.

"Not at all, just not something I see often."

Chen Lusi stood up and examined her: "From childhood till now... this is the second time you’ve worn such a one-piece dress."

"Twice? You even remember the number? I don’t even remember."

Lin Ying was taken aback by his words and asked in surprise: "What else do you remember?"

"...Things I can remember."

Chen Lusi replied casually as he walked past her towards the bathroom.

Lin Ying followed him to the bathroom door, curiously asking: "Like?"

Chen Lusi brushed his teeth while thinking.

Lin Ying patiently waited.

Two minutes later.

Chen Lusi spat out the foam, picked up a towel, and wiped his face: "I seem to only remember you wearing a one-piece dress twice."

"..."

Lin Ying pinched his waist: "Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Isn’t that what you’re doing?"

Chen Lusi looked at her, somewhat helpless: "Didn’t we agree not to fuss last night?"

"I just want to wear this outfit out and show it to the person I want to see."

Lin Ying glanced at her white dress and then looked up, uncertain: "...This doesn’t count as fussing, right?"

"..."

Chen Lusi stayed silent for a moment, then touched his neck and walked out of the bathroom: "Come on, let’s go have breakfast, and then see if there’s any suitable housing nearby."

"Okay."

"Also, it looks great."

"Hmm?"

"Nothing, change your shoes."

Chen Lusi took her to the entrance, lifted her dress hem, motioned for her to sit down and change her shoes, and didn’t continue the previous topic.

Lin Ying’s beautiful eyes glanced at Chen Lusi. Then she sat down by the entrance and softly said: "Saying it out loud wouldn’t hurt."

Chen Lusi stayed silent for a moment: "It looks great."

Lin Ying slightly bowed her head, showing a smile that seemed to heal the heart.

Five minutes later.

Everything was ready, and the two of them went out together.

Qinyuan and Mansion were still empty, quiet.

Their footsteps were clearly audible.

Following behind Chen Lusi, Lin Ying looked at his profile and suddenly asked: "Chen Lusi, why do couples hold hands when they go out?"

"Why mention this all of a sudden?" Chen Lusi turned his head.

Lin Ying quickened her pace slightly to walk alongside him: "I’m curious."

Chen Lusi thought for a moment and replied: "To show off love, or it happens when emotions run deep and it’s involuntary."

Lin Ying, curious, asked: "I understand about showing off love, but what does it feel like when emotions run deep and you involuntarily hold hands?"

"There’s no difference from regular hand-holding."

Chen Lusi pressed the elevator button: "As for other feelings, they should all be illusions."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, because biologically speaking, holding hands is just skin contact."

Chen Lusi walked into the elevator.

Lin Ying followed him in, then asked: "Skin contact?"

"...Is there any difficult word in that sentence to understand?"

Chen Lusi paused, raised his right hand: "Palm skin, contact."

"...Like this?"

Lin Ying raised her fair hand, placed it on Chen Lusi’s palm, then slightly raised her snowy chin, asking: "Is this right?"

Chen Lusi nodded: "Yes."

"Oh."

Lin Ying lowered her hand and gently held onto Chen Lusi’s large hand, indicating she understood.

Chen Lusi: "..."
