HRPM – Chapter 424 Being Good to You Needs No Reason

Smack!

Jin Luoluo landed a punch on Xiao Yu’s shoulder.

Grinning playfully, Xiao Yu rubbed the spot she had hit.

“That was too light. It didn’t hurt at all. Hit me harder. Let out all your anger.”

Jin Luoluo’s eyes grew moist.

An indescribable warmth and emotion filled her heart.

She raised her hand again, but the second punch landed only lightly against his shoulder.

Seeing tears well up in her eyes, Xiao Yu immediately panicked.

“Luoluo… you’re not crying, are you? If anyone should be crying, it should be me. I’m the one who got punched!”

“You idiot… Xiao Yu, you’re such an idiot.”

Jin Luoluo wiped away her tears with a smile and began laughing again.

“How can someone like you even exist? I’m not even anything to you, yet you’re always so good to me.”

Ever since they had met, he had done countless kind things for her.

No matter what happened, he always stood up for her.

Whenever she was in trouble, he worried about her and did everything he could to help.

She was incredibly lucky to have someone as wonderful as Xiao Yu comforting her whenever she was at her lowest.

The only problem was…

After everything he had done for her, she didn’t know how she could ever repay him.

That thought made her even more melancholy.

“You don’t need a reason to treat someone well,” Xiao Yu said casually, pretending not to care.

“When I see you unhappy, I become unhappy too. Helping you is really just helping myself feel better. So don’t think too much about it. I’m only doing it for my own sake.”

He deliberately spoke so lightly because he didn’t want her to feel indebted to him.

But how could Jin Luoluo not understand what he truly meant?

It only moved her even more.

She really didn’t know what kind of karma she had accumulated.

A man as selfless and devoted as Xiao Yu…

Yet she couldn’t fall in love with him.

Instead, she had fallen for that cripple.

“Xiao Yu, if you ever need someone to brave fire and water for you, just call me. I’ll never refuse. From now on, we’ll be the best of friends.”

Jin Luoluo patted him heartily on the shoulder.

Poor Xiao Yu…

He had just been firmly placed in the ‘good guy’ category.

Xiao Yu could only smile helplessly.

He didn’t want her to risk her life for him.

He only wanted her to make a little room for him in her heart.

To give him a chance.

Instead…

She had promoted him to the role of her closest friend.

That realization left him with a bittersweet ache.

The two of them wandered aimlessly through the forest.

Their horses stepped softly over grass and fallen leaves while the breeze carried the fresh scent of the woods.

After a long silence, Xiao Yu suddenly asked,

“Luoluo… have you fallen in love with Seventeenth Uncle?”

Jin Luoluo was so startled that she nearly fell off her horse.
