Chapter 73: Huang Rong or Xiaolongnu?

The next day, a brand-new large TV was hung on the wall, and Chen Xiaomiao held the instruction manual and studied it crookedly for a long time.

She started watching "The Return of the Condor Heroes" from the beginning, which she hadn't finished yesterday.

When Chen Xiaomiao saw Yang Guo wait bitterly for sixteen years at the edge of Broken Heart Cliff, and finally reunite with Xiaolongnu at the bottom of the valley, the stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

Hehe, true love will prevail in the end.

Hit it!

She turned off the show and, still wanting more, scrolled through the recommended list. Soon, the cover of another show caught her attention—"The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The names sound like they're from the same family...

She clicked on it out of curiosity.

And so they looked until it got dark.

When Lu Yuan pushed open the door and entered the house, Chen Xiaomiao was still sitting cross-legged on the sofa. On the TV screen, swords flashed and shadows danced. A pretty girl in a light yellow dress was arguing with a group of beggars, holding a bright green stick.

"You've got your eye on something again?"

Lu Yuan changed his shoes and walked to the sofa.

Chen Xiaomiao didn't even turn her head: "Yeah, I'm watching."

Lu Yuan glanced at the screen and recognized it as the scene where Huang Rong takes over as the leader of the Beggars' Sect. He casually asked, "Have you been watching this since this morning?"

"Ok!"

Chen Xiaomiao responded, her gaze still fixed on the screen.

Lu Yuan didn't disturb her. He got up, washed his hands, and when he came out again, the episode had just finished airing and the ending theme song was playing.

They turned off the TV and sat down at the dining table.

Watching TV is one thing, but dinner still consists of two dishes and a soup.

Chen Xiaomiao frowned slightly, her face full of confusion.

"Lu Yuan, I have a question for you."

"ask."

"This Huang Rong... she feels completely different from the Huang Rong in the later play?"

After watching for an entire afternoon, she finally managed to figure out the relationships between the characters in the two dramas, realizing that "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was set after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

But it is precisely because I understand it that I am even more confused.

How can the same person have changed so much?

"People change all the time."

As Lu Yuan ate, he explained, "When I was young, I was a carefree girl who could do whatever I wanted."

Later, after getting married and becoming a mother, she had even more things to worry about, and naturally, her mind became more burdened.

"Oh……"

Chen Xiaomiao nodded as if she understood, then asked another question. "Lu Yuan, do you like Huang Rong more, or do you like Xiaolongnu more?"

Lu Yuan paused in his act of picking up food.

Looking into Chen Xiaomiao's clear, curious eyes, he suddenly felt like teasing her and deliberately dragged out his words: "Well... it's not easy to choose."

He stroked his chin, appearing deep in thought.

"Little Dragon Girl is otherworldly, like a fairy, and Huang Rong is clever and mischievous. It would definitely be interesting to be with her... Why not have both of them?"

"no!"

Chen Xiaomiao glared at Lu Yuan angrily: "How can you be so greedy? You can only choose one!"

His earnestness made it seem like Lu Yuan could actually go on TV to choose a wife.

"Okay, okay, one is fine."

Lu Yuan cleared his throat, his smile fading slightly: "If I really had to choose, I would probably choose Huang Rong."

Chen Xiaomiao was stunned.

She originally thought Lu Yuan would like someone like Xiaolongnu, who was untouched by worldly affairs and as beautiful as if she had stepped out of a painting.

And most importantly—although she is an "aunt" and an elder, she is naive, easily fooled, and has a huge generation gap with the times.

"What?"

Chen Xiaomiao pressed for an answer.

"Because Huang Rong is more like a 'person'."

Lu Yuan explained, "Look, she is the most beloved daughter of the Peach Blossom Island Master, Guo Jing's unforgettable first love, the respected leader of the Beggars' Sect, and later Madam Guo who guarded Xiangyang. She is also the mother of three children..."

She can be coquettish, mischievous, jealous, and scheming, even ruthless, in order to protect her husband and children.

She embodies almost all the beautiful qualities a man aspires to in a woman—a charming daughter, a lively lover, a reliable wife, and a great mother.

Lu Yuan looked at Chen Xiaomiao, who was lost in thought, and finally concluded.

"As a woman, Huang Rong's life can be described as almost perfect!"

After listening, Chen Xiaomiao kept her head down, shoveling rice into her mouth without saying a word.

Lu Yuan felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

He tried to pick up the last piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in the bowl, when suddenly a pair of chopsticks reached out from the side and snatched the ribs from under his chopsticks with lightning speed.

"You're being indecent, I won't give you any!"

Chen Xiaomiao mumbled something indistinctly, stuffed the ribs into her mouth, and chewed them forcefully as if she were angry with someone.

Then he stood up abruptly, quickly cleared the table of dishes, and turned to walk into the kitchen.

Soon, the sound of running water and the soft clatter of dishes could be heard from the kitchen.

Lu Yuan looked puzzled, picked up the last piece of green vegetable, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly, it tasted sour.

Is she... jealous of Huang Rong?
