Black Hawk stared at Le Yao with a stern face.

Feeling a little guilty under his gaze, Le Yao could only chuckle twice: "Actually, you're not young anymore, if..."

"I don't like that woman."

"Huh? So you like men?" Le Yao opened her mouth wide in surprise before she could hear the whole thing.

Black Hawk's face darkened even more: "I said I don't like that woman." He emphasized the word "that."

"Oh." Le Yao smiled. "I also think it's because of you... Actually, liking men isn't shameful."

Black Hawk clenched his fist.

"I was just kidding. So tell me, who do you like? Or what kind of woman do you like?" Le Yao immediately became gossipy.

Black Hawk stared at Le Yao's gloating face, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes: "I like you."

"What?"

"I said, I like women like you."

"Cough cough..." Le Yao choked on her own saliva. "You..."

"I was just kidding." Black Hawk's expression suddenly changed, and he turned and ran. He finally managed to prank someone, but his boss bumped into him. What kind of bad luck was this? With his boss's brain-dead protectiveness of his wife, he figured he'd be covered up soon.

Before Le Yao could react, a large hand gently patted her back: "Stay away from him in the future."

Le Yao waved her hand: "It's okay, he was just joking."

Nangong Jue's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't think it was a joke. After all, Black Hawk was a normal man, and a man with good qualities in all aspects, although not as good as himself, but...

His Alan is so beautiful and dazzling, isn't it normal for men to like her?

Even though he knew Black Hawk would never betray him or do anything to hurt him, he dared not be careless or gamble with matters of the heart; he had to nip it in the bud.

Le Yao didn't take it seriously. She let it go after saying it. After returning to Xiling City, she started busying herself with studying papers and then went to the shop to cook.

Because she not only passed all the final exams this time, but also ranked in the top 30 in the grade, the lovely principal, Mr. Ma, and his lovely wife, Shao Nan, gave her another 200 sets of test papers and set a goal for her to be in the top 10 in the grade next time.

Le Yao, who used to be a lazy bum, has now been completely pushed onto the path of becoming a top student.

Of course, although Qian Meiqi and Song Qiaoqiao's rankings weren't very high, they all passed and didn't need to retake the exam.

Only Qiaoqiao maintained her original level, neither improving nor declining.

However, Le Yao noticed a problem: she suddenly realized she hadn't seen Black Hawk for two days, so she asked Nangong Jue about it.

"You miss him?" Nangong Jue's face immediately turned ugly.

"Why would I miss him?" Le Yao rolled her eyes at him. "Someone who's always around me suddenly disappears, can't I even ask him about it?"

"Oh." Nangong Jue smiled immediately. "He has another mission."

"A mission?" Le Yao raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Yes, the mission.” Nangong Jue nodded. He didn’t want to hide anything from Le Yao, so he planned to slowly reveal his affairs to her little by little. If she felt something was wrong and asked him, he would definitely tell her everything he knew.

Le Yao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Nangong Jue was somewhat disappointed, and could only console himself that her not asking was a sign of respect for him.
