558: Chapter 558: Do You Like ?
Won have many monts when they are most beautiful, and at this mont, Huangfu Jing appeared incredibly beautiful to Tangyu.
So entrancingly beautiful that Tangyu wished to freeze this mont forever, allowing himself to appreciate such beauty for a little longer.
This was also the first ti Huangfu Jing felt sowhat embarrassed.
Right now, she strangely didn’t dare to look straight into Tangyu’s eyes—eyes that were not sharp but instead gentle.
She didn’t know why she felt like this.
Inside, her heart was very complex, very chaotic.
The two sat there, like a pair of young, naive lovers experiencing the dawn of their emotions.
Qing Ge on the side could hardly bear to watch anymore and couldn’t help but cough softly twice, reminding them that soone was still there.
Only then did Huangfu Jing co back to her senses and said to Tangyu, “Would you like to join for a few drinks, when you have the ti?”
Tangyu also ca back to reality, smiling as he said, “When a beautiful woman invites you, of course, its sothing you can’t ask for.”
“I’ll step out for a mont,” Qing Ge was tactful.
Huangfu Jing said, “There’s no need, Qing Ge.
I’m going to the balcony with Tangyu.
The view is nice there; we can look at the night sky, the moon, and Donglin City.
After this, we might not be able to see it anymore.”
“Hmm, we should indeed cherish it, it looks like I can get to bed early tonight.” Qing Ge nodded, though it was unclear what exactly he ant by cherishing.
Tangyu followed Huangfu Jing to the balcony, which was part of her private room.
The balcony was large, covering an area of twenty to thirty square ters, and there was a table set on it.
Huangfu Jing brought out two bottles of red wine and two tall glasses, poured two drinks, and then said to Tangyu, “Shall we get so snacks to accompany the wine?”
“No need, I just had my fill.
Besides, when drinking red wine, it’s fine to go dry, right?
You all appreciate ‘romantic’, don’t you?
It should be more ‘romantic’ this way.
The moon is nice tonight, and still visible, there’s moonlight, stars, beautiful views, and an evening breeze.
In such a mont, I feel moved and inspired to write a poem,” Tangyu said.
Huangfu Jing gave a light smile and said, “I wouldn’t have guessed—you are skilled in both literature and martial arts, a master of all trades.
You can even write poetry.
Why not show off your skills?
I thought you wanted to burst into song.”
Tangyu smiled and shook his head, “How dare I sing in front of you?
That would only bring sha.
Besides, I can’t sing; that’s not my strong suit.
The poetry was just a joke.
I am not so literary scholar or a man of letters; I’m just an ordinary person, a true countryman who does not know such refined things.
Let’s just drink, talk about life under the moon tonight, shoot the breeze, brag a little—it’s good enough.
Anything else is beyond .”
Huangfu Jing shook her head and laughed, “Must you always make things so amusing?
If you’re not up to par, then nobody is.
While others pretend to be highbrow, you, on the other hand, pretend to be humble.”
“That’s called taking the road less traveled, isn’t it?
If everyone else takes one path, then I will simply avoid it.
In fact, that’s another level of pretense,” Tangyu said.
“…”
The two chatted like old friends, finding a lot of common ground, and each appreciating the other.
“Honestly, Tangyu, your performance these past days has truly astonished and has overturned my view of traditional Chinese dicine.
Although I’ve never looked down upon it and have believed that if it could be passed down for thousands of years, it must have its essence.
However, I had absolutely no idea that our Huaxia Country’s traditional dicine was so profound and powerful that it could achieve a perfect victory against the most advanced Western dicine.
It’s truly miraculous.
Tangyu, you’ve elevated the image of traditional Chinese dicine to several new levels.
I believe many people now have a changed perspective toward it.
You’ve truly done sothing sensational, and plenty of bigwigs in the Capital City are watching you,” Huangfu Jing said.
Tangyu curled his lip and said, “The depth and richness of traditional Chinese dicine go far beyond this.
What I grasp is but a re fraction.
You know the situation in our Huaxia Country—prejudices among sects, much has been lost, much hidden away.
Traditional dicine has been silent for too long.
Since fate has granted this opportunity, and I’ve stumbled upon it, then let awaken the outdated views of many.
The phrase ‘traditional Chinese dicine is invincible’ isn’t just a slogan I shout; it’s the most authentic portrayal of traditional dicine.”
Huangfu Jing nodded vigorously, in full agreent, “‘Traditional Chinese dicine is invincible,’ only you, Tangyu, could say such words, and dare to say them.
I also believe that the traditional Chinese dicine community will rember your na.
I look forward to your future.
Keep it up, Tangyu.
I’ll be following your news closely tomorrow, and after your victory, I’ll call to congratulate you.
You won’t let down, will you?”
Tangyu looked at Huangfu Jing and said, “When have I ever let you down?”
Huangfu Jing was montarily stunned.
When had Tangyu ever disappointed her?
Those words sohow sounded a bit strange.
The atmosphere between the two beca awkward for a mont, and after a long silence, Tangyu finally broke it, raising his glass and saying, “Let’s drink.
Here’s to you, beautiful.”
“Thank you.” Huangfu Jing clinked glasses with Tangyu.
“By the way, Tangyu, mbers of the Black Specter organization are still lurking in Donglin City; they stayed to try to kill you at any cost.
These mbers are all dead soldiers, a band of desperados.
I can’t help you much, so just be careful,” Huangfu Jing said.
Tangyu nodded, touched by Huangfu Jing’s concern.
The two chatted and drank, and unknowingly, they finished off a bottle of red wine.
Although the moonlight wasn’t enchanting and was obscured by a layer of hazy dark clouds, the sky above the city was never as beautiful as in the countryside.
“Tangyu, can I ask you a very personal question?” Huangfu Jing suddenly said.
Tangyu nodded and said, “Of course, ask whatever you want.”
“Don’t agree so quickly; do you know what I want to ask you?” Huangfu Jing said.
Tangyu pursed his lips and replied, “Regardless of what you ask, I will answer you truthfully.
Even if you want to ask sothing very private, not suitable for children, I will tell you.
Who let such a beautiful woman like you take the initiative to speak?
If I don’t answer truthfully, it would be too disappointing to you.
So, go ahead and ask.”
Huangfu Jing looked at Tangyu; this man was indeed different from others.
Without intention, he could exude a unique charm that fascinated won.
What is male charm?
It’s not about a man being handso, having a good temperant, providing a sense of security, or being wealthy.
None of these are the essence of male charm.
The real male charm is sothing innate in a man that can captivate a woman without attempting to.
After sipping so red wine and slowly swallowing it, Huangfu Jing asked, “Lin Feifei is your girlfriend, right?”
“Yeah, that’s not really a surprise, is it?” Tangyu said.
“Then what is your relationship with Liu Shanshan?
And that beauty from the Traditional Chinese dicine community, Liu Shiyi?
Or perhaps there’s one more, your company supervisor Fang Min?” Huangfu Jing asked.
Tangyu blinked and looked at Huangfu Jing; she really knew a lot about him, having such detailed knowledge of his affairs.
Seeing the look in Tangyu’s eyes, Huangfu Jing unabashedly said, “Sorry, I didn’t have soone deliberately investigate your background.”
“I know.” Tangyu nodded.
He probably had been thoroughly investigated by Brother Qing or the people behind Huangfu Jing the first ti he saved her.
So, Tangyu was quite at ease with the fact that Huangfu Jing knew so much about him.
Under the circumstances, it was understandable, given Huangfu Jing’s status.
And as for being investigated, Tangyu had grown accustod to it.
After all, he had nothing to hide; let them investigate.
Walk the straight path and sit upright; then, you can travel the world unafraid.
Tangyu pondered and said, “How should I put it?
If you really want to explain, it’s quite hard to clarify.
It could be described as intimate friendships, perhaps there’s so ambiguity, or mutual understanding and empathy.
I won’t deny that I have a good feeling towards all four of them.
To be frank, it could even be called love.
Of course, you can call a philanderer or a lecher.”
Huangfu Jing smiled gently, “Why should I label you a philanderer?
Others might think so, but others are others, and I am .
I’m not so conventional.
Though I might not fully accept it, perhaps you are charming and sentintal.
Besides, I can see that you are not fickle or disloyal.
I can feel that you are serious about your relationships and responsible towards your girlfriend.
With these qualities, you already have the traits of a good man.
If anything, it’s your excellence that makes so many people like you despite knowing you have a girlfriend—they like you without reservation.
For that, I do admire you.”
“Haha, Huangfu Jing, your words are quite interesting.
Even though I’m ‘charming and sentintal,’ you still admire .
Although I quite like hearing that, I find it a bit strange.
Your thoughts really are unconventional,” Tangyu laughed.
“Unconventional?
Maybe.
But I believe I’m not the only one who thinks this way,” Huangfu Jing said.
Tangyu fell silent; indeed, he wasn’t the only one who thought so.
“If, I’m just saying if, all these intimate female friends of yours wanted to follow you, never able to forget you, and they didn’t mind if you had other won, what would you do?” Huangfu Jing asked.
Tangyu was taken aback, not expecting Huangfu Jing to pose such a question.
It wasn’t the first ti he’d heard such a question.
“If possible, I would hope not to let any of them down.
By saying this, do you despise ?” Tangyu asked earnestly.
“No, on the contrary, I would appreciate you even more,” Huangfu Jing shook her head.
“Hehe, you really are my confidante.
I must toast to you,” Tangyu laughed, finding his conversation with Huangfu Jing quite interesting.
After another round of drinks, Huangfu Jing put down her glass and looked at Tangyu seriously, “Then you—do you like ?”
The room buzzed—
It was like a thunderclap exploding in Tangyu’s mind; the question caught him off guard.
So direct and bold, this—
Tangyu blinked at Huangfu Jing, who was utterly serious, showing no sign of joking.
It took him a mont to co back to his senses and he finally answered, “I do.”
Huangfu Jing smiled, “Thank you, that’s all I needed to know.”
“Er, but I have a question, what about you?” Tangyu said.
Looking up at the sky, Huangfu Jing stood up, walked to the railing, and replied, “Tangyu, let sing you a song.” With that, she began to sing, and her lodious voice, like music from the heavens, instantly enchanted Tangyu.
