Quick Transmigration: Homewrecker System! [BL]

Chapter 794 - 15.13

Bai Shijue returned the wooden tally to the old Fu patriarch the next day when the old man visited the teashop. 

"Master Fu, this is the wooden tally that you gave to my little brother yesterday. He told me that you want to arrange a wedding for me and your Granddaughter, but I have no intention of marrying anyone for now," Bai Shijue said politely.

"Ah, that's so unfortunate. I've told my Granddaughter about you, but if you refused, then I have no way to force you," Old Fu said. "Do you have anyone close in your heart right now? Is that why you refused the arrangement?" 

Han Shun stopped his activity, wiping the table nearby when he heard this question. He intentionally eavesdropped on the conversation, wanting to know if Bai Gege really had anyone close in his heart or not. 

Bai Shijue was silent for a while. He was thinking in his heart—well, more like debating.

[Hmm… how should I approach this one?]

[Pupa: What are you hesitating for? Just say that you don't have anyone close in your heart, and that's it.]

[No, I don't want to do that, Pupa. Because it's not as simple as that.]

[If I say no, then the Old Fu will continue to pester me. I don't want him to keep trying, so I will marry one of his family. I think I should say yes.]

[Pupa: Do you actually have anyone close in your heart?]

[Han Ye Gege, duh…]

[Pupa: You still love him? Wow, you really are obsessed with him.]

[It's not that I'm obsessed with him. It's something that I can't help. In my heart, there is only Han Ye Gege.]

[But that doesn't mean I want to meet him again. I love him and fear him at the same time.]

After careful consideration, Bai Shijue nodded lightly, "I do have someone close in my heart. Please understand that I'm keeping my heart only for one person, Master Fu."

"Ah, that's understandable. It must be your white moonlight, right? Hahaha!" Old Fu joked around, and Bai Shijue laughed lightly to make the situation less awkward.

Meanwhile, Han Shun clenched the duster in his hand. He felt a sense of crisis in his heart because he honestly didn't want Bai Gege to have his attention diverted because of someone else. 

Called it greedy, but that desire for monopoly started growing inside Han Shun's heart. He wanted Bai Gege's attention all for himself. He didn't want to share at all!

Han Shun kept his silence when another guest came right after Old Fu patriarch left. It was the young General who came from the capital city to guard the garrison. He looked terrifying and mighty, especially when he was wearing his armor.

He was regular, but he always had one request every time he came. 

Han Shun approached the general carefully and bowed his head, "Young General, welcome to Plum Blossom Teashop, this is the menu—"

"Kid, why are you here? Where is my beautiful moonlight?" General asked. 

"Ah—uhm… Bai Gege is still busy brewing tea inside, Sir…."

"Call him here. I only want to be served by my beautiful moonlight," General requested.

Han Shun was angry that he only came here to flirt with Bai Gege, but he didn't have the right to refuse, so he bowed his head and told Bai Gege the General had come. 

"Why aren't you calling me first? Didn't I tell you that General only wants to be served by me?" Bai Shijue asked as he walked towards the General's table.

Han Shun lowered his head. He felt ashamed that he had obstructed Bai Gege's work. But he seriously disliked that General because he kept flirting with Bai Gege…

Bai Shijue smiled at the handsome, young General of the garrison and bowed his head lightly, "Welcome, Young General Fei, what tea herbs do you want today?"

General Fei's face brightened once he saw Bai Shijue. His mood improved because the young master that ran this business was such a beauty that got him hooked. 

General Fei was a cut-sleeve who liked men with scholar aura around him. But he never really took anyone seriously because none were interesting enough for him.

Until he accidentally found this small teashop and found the young master that ran this business was such an enchanting beauty.

"I will drink any tea, as long as I can get you to sit down and have a drink with me," General Fei said boldly, befitting to his title. 

Bai Shijue chuckled and nodded, "I will serve jasmine tea for you, General."

"And you will accompany me as well?"

"I happen to have nothing to do right now, so I will sit with you, sure," Bai Shijue returned to the kitchen and brewed tea for General Fei. 

But he was a bit uncomfortable because a certain kid kept lingering behind his back.

"Han Shun, if you have nothing to do, go wash the dishes," Bai Shijue said. 

"Gege, will you really spend your time with General Fei?" Han Shun asked. 

Bai Shijue frowned, "Why are you asking the unnecessary? I have nothing to do right now, so I will naturally talk to him. I also have something to ask him as well." 

Bai Gege's somewhat dismissive tone disheartened Han Shun. He just lowered his hand and returned to the back kitchen to wash dishes. 

[Why is Han Shun acting so sad? Did I do something wrong?]

[Pupa: He is probably jealous that you spend your time with General Fei.]

[Eh?! But he is only 8. Why would he feel jealous of me?]

[Pupa: You know, kids' jealousy is most of the time not because of romantic love, could be familial or platonic one. A kid at Han Shun's age really craved attention and validation since he missed all those for most of his life. That's why he is jealous.]

[Hm… make sense, but I got to talk with General Fei, this is for the future of Han Shun as well.]
