Li Hongjiu also knew that this brat's brotherhood was fake. What do you mean "finally meeting again," or "I missed you so much"? Don't even start with that talk about how you didn't see me at the Divine Fire Domain's exit, didn't say a single hello, and blatantly played dumb. Now you're pulling this act?
Of course, it's not all bad. Since he's not directly exposing himself, it means he's guessed Yanbao Sect's "good intentions." When he came over, I was still pondering how to deal with it. Now it's great—he's even built the steps for me to go up and down smoothly. Saves effort, saves face, and isn't awkward.
Still, Li Hongjiu wasn't used to this whole hugging and embracing thing between men. Though hitting him for it wouldn't be good, he still tried to push him away forcefully. On the surface, though, he cooperated nicely and patted Shi Chun's arms, saying, "Brother Chun, I missed you too—been worrying nonstop. The second I found out where you were, I rushed right over to see you."
