The Rice Pot Next Door

Untitled Part 24

Chapter 41: The Past

Although Sheng Yu has assumed that Su Luo is in no danger, it is nonetheless a challenge getting her out of water no thanks to her bridesmaid costume. Her layered dress may be pretty to look at, but its absorption power is pretty awesome too.

Yang Xiao Xiu is not a macho man to begin with and when he has to fish a maiden wrapped in a sodden blanket out of water.... it really is no mean feat! Thankfully, they are not far from the side of the pool, and with the help of a rope that someone threw in, they finally got out of the water.

Because it is summer. Su Luo has worn a dress made of thin fabric. Once wet, the dress becomes near transparent and Lan Shan can see her skin-colored bra beneath. The bra pushes up her curves nicely but it also accentuated her near-nakedness and everyone who has gathered fall into an awkward silence.

One of her shoe is floating in the pool while another shoe is on her feet. As the water sloshes down her dress, it converges on the feet with her shoe. Shhhh...... the sound of trickling water is not unlike someone pissing which is clearly audible in the silence. Lan Shan presses her lips to stop herself from smirking as she thinks Su Luo can continue passing out water for a long time with that inflated 'bladder' of hers.

Su Luo keeps her head lowered as her face flames up in a mixture of anger and embarrassment. While Madam Yang lead some female guests to help squeeze the water out of her dress, QIao Feng walks over. "Su Luo. So sorry."

Great, now everyone in the crowd has a name to match the face. If Lan Shan does not know Qiao Feng before this, she would have thought that he is doing this on purpose. As for Su Luo, she glares at Qiao Feng. "I do not wish to see you right now."

Since she has said so explicitly, Qiao Feng gets ready to leave with Lan Shan. As they bid farewell to their host, Sheng Yu says icily: "Miss Lan, what is pass has passed. But your causing trouble with your current boyfriend at your ex-boyfriend's wedding is not appropriate, is it not?"

Lan Shan returns equally coolly. "I am the one who have learnt something new today. I have never seen a bride helping her good friend to the extent of harassing her guest's boyfriend at her own wedding." Being is the suspicious sort, Lan Shan does not believe that someone knocking into her, dirtying her dress, bumping into Sheng Yu and finally meeting Su Luo with Qiao Feng at the pool is a coincidence.

Sheng Yu is indignant on her friend's behalf that such a piece of crap can get the attention of 2 good catches like Song Zi Cheng and turns to Qiao Feng. "Mr Qiao, you best keep a close watch on your girlfriend. She is such a clever and alluring woman, there must be lots of men interested in her."

Qiao Feng nods sincerely. "I will. Thank you for your reminder."

With her provocation being dismissed, there is nothing much more Sheng Yu can say. As they leave the wedding, Lan Shan starts to ask Qiao Feng. "I say, do you know Su Luo beforehand?"

Qiao Feng nods expressionlessly. "Yes, we met when I was studying abroad."

"Hump! Why do I find it hard to believe? Isn't the world a bit too small? And why did you not recognize her at the beginning."

"I have not seen her for several years. With the distance and her make-up, it is not surprising that I did not recognize her at first."

Although she nods at his reply, Lan Shan still finds the situation weird as Su Luo's behavior does not suggest a casual relationship between the two. Otherwise, why would she want to hug him the moment she sees him? Is it simply a matter of being unable to suppress her emotions or is the woman desperate?
