Xu Lei snorted coldly but said nothing.
The young man quietly sighed with relief and then continued, "Director Ge's girlfriend is so beautiful. In such a place, if a few drunkards or so blind guys co to harass and make trouble. With Director Ge's capabilities, a few ordinary folk are naturally not worth worrying about, but if they were to spoil his good mood, that would be regrettable. That's why I specifically stayed, not because I'm worried about Director Ge's personal safety, but to prevent those blind fools from ruining his good mood."
"You, although you hang out in bright and bustling places every day, still have a quick-witted mind." Xu Lei nodded in approval upon hearing this.
"Boss, our Cherishing Flowers Sect's ntal thod is all about moving through a sea of flowers without a leaf sticking to the body. I frequent those places to train through worldly experiences and temper my determination," the young man clarified.
"Pfft! Cherishing Flowers? I think 'plucking flowers' is more like it." The other male and female imdiately gave him a scornful look.
"Ma Xiaoshuai, when they call you fat, you really do take it to heart!" Xu Lei said with a laugh as he pointed at the young man.
"Why don't you guys believe ? I really am cultivating!" Ma Xiaoshuai cried out with an aggrieved face.
"Alright, we believe you, is that good enough? But honestly, Ma Xiaoshuai, your sect's ntal thod is really ssed up. Navigating through a sea of flowers and not letting a leaf stick to you— if it was an old man in his seventies or eighties, fine, but for a young guy like you, isn't this just torture to your body and mind? Can you really withstand a beauty stripping in front of you?" the well-dressed young man said sympathetically as he looked at Ma Xiaoshuai.
"This is a profound ntal thod; you wouldn't understand," Ma Xiaoshuai said with an inscrutable look.
"Enough with being profound or not. I won't concern myself with how you train through worldly experiences or temper your determination, but rember one thing—you mustn't harm good girls, otherwise I won't be able to protect you," Xu Lei said earnestly, clearly quite aware of Ma Xiaoshuai's cultivation matters.
"Understood, Boss," Ma Xiaoshuai said, his mood visibly deflated upon hearing Xu Lei speak in this manner.
The male and female were left confused, not quite understanding the underlying aning of the conversation between Xu Lei and Ma Xiaoshuai.
...
While Xu Lei and others were talking from afar in the car, people occasionally arrived at the barbecue restaurant.
Seeing the place packed, so left with a disappointed and disheartened expression, while others lingered, relentlessly scanning the filled landscape platform of tables and barbecues to see if anyone would leave their seat.
However, it was not long after dark, the pri ti for barbecue had just begun, and no one was leaving their seats.
"It really is a letdown. There's no more seating. Forget it, I'll take you ladies to another place for a big al," a young man said to his three female companions upon seeing the crowd.
"Let's wait a bit longer; maybe a spot will open up," a woman with particularly long legs in jeans suggested.
"Oh, what is he doing here?" the woman had barely finished her sentence when a quiet-looking girl expressed surprise as she spotted Ge Dongxu and Liu Jiayao at a table.
"Oh, Su Qian!" Ge Dongxu's sixth sense was very sharp. As soon as the quiet girl fixed her gaze on him, he imdiately sensed it and hurriedly looked up. On seeing her, his face also inadvertently showed surprise.
"What's wrong? Do you know that girl?" Liu Jiayao asked curiously, following Ge Dongxu's gaze to Su Qian.
"A senior from high school, I haven't seen her for over a year, I didn't expect her to have moved to the Provincial Capital," Ge Dongxu replied, originally planning to keep his head down and continue grilling, but he eventually raised his hand and waved at Su Qian as a greeting. He just didn't bother to stand up specifically.
He still harbored so grudges about that day when he had specifically prepared three Heart-Cleansing Talismans for Jiang Lili, Dong Yuxin, and Su Qian, and Su Qian had just crumpled hers up and tossed it away.
"Since you've run into your senior, why not go and say hello? Is it because it's awkward with here?" Liu Jiayao asked.
"No, it's just that we're not that close," Ge Dongxu said with a faint smile, a trace of loss fleeting through his eyes.
Although that incident was over a year ago, and he hadn't thought about Dong Yuxin during this past year, Dong Yuxin had been the first girl he had t in high school, and also one he had been quite close to, so seeing Su Qian still inevitably stirred up so mories of the past.
Won's intuition is always particularly sharp, and although the loss in Ge Dongxu's eyes was fleeting, Liu Jiayao still noticed it and couldn't help but feel very curious.
Although Liu Jiayao and Ge Dongxu were close to taking the final step, she actually knew very little about his life, especially his romantic life, very little indeed.
...
"What's wrong? Do you know that woman?" The young man followed Su Qian's gaze, and his eyes were instantly captivated by Liu Jiayao, he blurted out.
"No, it's that guy, he was a junior in my high school. But it's strange, he's only supposed to be in his final year of high school in Changxi County this year, what is he doing in the Provincial Capital? And he's with a woman too," Su Qian replied, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
It was only because the young man beside her said so that she noticed the woman with Ge Dongxu seed stunning even from a distance, making her feel sowhat inferior, even Dong Yuxin seed a bit less in comparison.
It wasn't that Dong Yuxin was less attractive or well-built than Liu Jiayao, but Liu Jiayao possessed a mature and elegant deanor that Dong Yuxin did not.
This kind of deanor requires ti and life's sedintation.
"Maybe he has relatives in the Provincial Capital," said one of the round-faced girls.
"There are only the two of them, and with us, that makes six people. Suzhen, since you know him, why don't we join them at their table?" the long-legged girl suggested.
"That's a great idea! It's more fun with more people," the young man imdiately agreed.
Having said that, without waiting for Su Qian's reply, he was already eagerly walking towards Ge Dongxu and Liu Jiayao.
Seeing this, Su Qian and her friends quickly followed.
Although Ge Dongxu still had so lingering grudges against Su Qian, since they were schoolmates and had shared so friendship back then, seeing Su Qian approaching with her friends, he stood up and smiled, "Su Qian, hello, I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. They are my classmates and seniors, we originally ca here to have a barbecue, but it's overcrowded. You have quite a few seats empty here, you won't mind us joining you, right?" Su Qian said with a smile, her gaze inadvertently drifting towards Liu Jiayao, full of astonishnt.
As they got closer, that stunning feeling grew even stronger.
