In the blink of an eye.

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.

He Xie went into the kitchen and said to Liu Yan, "Aunt Liu, I have something to do tonight and I won't be back for dinner."

"Just don't come back too late."

Liu Yan said while washing the vegetables.

He Xie said, "Aunt Liu, Jiu'er is enough in the kitchen. You can just sit outside and wait for your meal. Why do you need to come in and cook?"

Liu Yan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Being able to cook is a virtue, don't you understand?"

He Xie smiled but didn't say anything.

Then he turned to Su Jiu'er, who was washing rice, and said to her, "After dinner tonight, remember to wash the dishes, wash and dry the clothes, clean the house, and so on."

"I understand, Master."

Su Jiu'er forced a smile.

Actually, she can smile very sweetly, giving He Xie a very gentle feeling.

But she didn't do that.

Because she knew that too much of a good thing is bad.

Only the kind of meekness that gradually resigns oneself to fate can deceive people.

If someone becomes docile too quickly, everyone knows something's fishy.

Soon, He Xie left the kitchen.

I went to the restaurant where I had arranged to meet Lin Xiaoxiao to discuss the cooperation on the Qi Xue Dan formula.

After he left, Liu Yan started to chat with Su Jiu'er, making small talk.

Liu Yan: "Jiu'er, how did you come to know my He Xie?"

Su Jiu'er: "We became friends after fighting, and then I couldn't beat him, so he captured me and brought me back."

Liu Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, "You captured him? Then you must hate him to death?"

Su Jiu'er blinked her beautiful eyes, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Why should I hate you? Master is so handsome and strong, his future is destined to be bright. I'd rather cling to your coattails than not."

Liu Yan: "You really think so?"

Su Jiu'er smiled wryly: "Well, actually, when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. There's nothing I can change now, so I can only do as the Romans do and live and work in peace here."

Liu Yan smiled and said, "That's great. We won't treat you like a servant. If you and He Xie happen to like each other someday, it's perfectly fine to get a marriage certificate."

Su Jiu'er shook her head and waved her hand, saying, "Aunt Liu, please don't tease Jiu'er. Jiu'er knows her place and cannot presume to be worthy of her master."

Liu Yan: "Jiu'er, you don't need to belittle yourself."

Su Jiu'er: "I'm just telling the truth."

And so, Liu Yan kept testing her, but Su Jiu'er always managed to deflect the questions, never revealing a single clue.

One attack and one defense, it's breathtaking.

......

7 PM.

Pedestrian street, Tonight Fragrance Restaurant.

When He Xie entered the private room, he found that Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Chuchu had been waiting inside for a long time.

We've already ordered several desserts before the meal.

"We didn't have to wait too long, did we?"

He Xie walked in with a smile and exchanged a casual, polite remark.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Xiaoxiao said sarcastically with a resentful look, "Yeah, it wasn't long, just over a week, and then I couldn't get in touch with anyone at all."

He Xie's lips twitched slightly after hearing this, and he thought to himself, "Is this woman an idiot?"

You clearly needed something from me tonight, yet you dared to talk back to me in a sarcastic and sarcastic way?

You've never experienced the harsh realities of society, have you?

Or are you just taking advantage of the fact that you're best friends with my sister and cousins ​​with Lin Chuchu, and that's why you think you're so close to me?

With these thoughts running through his mind, He Xie walked between the two sisters and sat down a little closer to Lin Chuchu.

"Thank you, the cantaloupes here are delicious, you should try some."

Lin Chuchu forked a piece of cantaloupe, her face slightly flushed, and brought it to He Xie's lips.

He Xie didn't stand on ceremony and ate the cantaloupe right away.

I must say, it's really sweet.

Moreover, the flesh is soft on top and crisp on the bottom, making it very delicious.

"He Xie, is it sweet?"

Lin Chuchu asked, resting her chin on her hand, her eyes filled with affection and a touch of girlish shyness.

After all, there was a third wheel in the private room, and being so intimate with He Xie in front of him would still make one feel somewhat embarrassed.

While chewing on the cantaloupe in his mouth, He Xie looked at Lin Chuchu and smiled, "It's sweet, very sweet, but it's not even a tenth as sweet as the smile on your face."

Lin Chuchu was flattered and surprised. She never expected He Xie to praise her so frankly. She was overjoyed and felt very happy.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoxiao got goosebumps all over and thought to herself, "Why is He Xie so greasy?"

[Contrast value increased from Lin Chuchu.]

[Contrast value from Lin Xiaoxiao +.]

Seeing the two react differently, He Xie couldn't help but laugh.

Hey, that's what I mean by greasy.

That's the contrast effect we're aiming for.

Sure enough, they quickly collected over 20,000 contrast values.

Feeling great.

"Thank you, you can order whatever you like. It's on me today."

Lin Xiaoxiao pushed the menu over.

He Xie took the menu and said with a smile, "Since Sister Xiaoxiao has said so, then I won't be polite."

After saying that, he called over the waiter and ordered a whole meal.

I didn't even glance at the prices; I just ordered whichever looked good.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxiao comes from a wealthy family and doesn't care much.

As long as He Xie is happy.

To be more precise, all that matters is that we can reach an agreement with He Xie later regarding the Qi and Blood Pill formula.

Soon, the dishes that had just been ordered were all served.

All I can say is that this is a VIP room; the efficiency is truly impressive.

For the next while, the three people in the private room ate and chatted.

It was mainly He Xie and Lin Xiaoxiao who were talking.

As for Lin Chuchu, she sat quietly to the side without interrupting, occasionally picking up some food and feeding it to He Xie.

She looks incredibly virtuous.

She doesn't look like a delinquent at all.

However, her clothing and appearance remain the same as always.

She's a total delinquent.

Because she felt that He Xie definitely preferred her current rebellious girl look to her previous innocent appearance with glasses.

After all, when she was innocent and naive, she was rejected terribly by He Xie.

Ever since she started dressing like a delinquent girl, He Xie has been stealing glances at her all the time.

Especially when wearing a miniskirt.

The way those eyes darted over was utterly undisguised and incredibly audacious.

......

"Thank you, 91 points is too much. I can only compromise to 73 points at most. I really can't accept anything lower."

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned.

He Xie took a sip of the rich, fragrant beast milk, his expression completely unchanged, and said:

"I've already said that even if I get 10 and you get 0 in this collaboration, you won't lose out. If you're still not satisfied with 91 points, then there's no need for this collaboration."

"82 points, it can't be any lower."

Lin Xiaoxiao gently bit her lower lip, repeatedly lowering her own bottom line.

He Xie had eaten and drunk his fill and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

He stood up and left his seat, smiled and said, "It can only be 91 points. If you don't want it, there's nothing I can do. Thanks for the treat, bye."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the private room.

"etc!"

Lin Xiaoxiao stood up and called for He Xie to stop, gritting her teeth and saying, "91 it is, this is the contract, sign it!"

"Hey, Mr. Lin is so generous!"

He Xie walked back with a smile and said.

He picked up the contract on the table and carefully read through it.

After confirming that there were no problems, I picked up a pen and signed my name.

......

Harmonious Street.

On the rooftop of a residential building near the orphanage.

The traitors who planned to launch a surprise attack at midnight tonight have all arrived early to lie in ambush.

At this moment, when they looked at the location of the orphanage marked on the map, they were completely dumbfounded.

Holy crap, an orphanage?!

Where did the orphanage marked on the map go?

Did we come to the wrong place?

The traitors stared at the luxurious villa below, their minds filled with questions.

"Number 18, calling Number 18, go infiltrate and see what's going on."

"receive."

As these two simple sentences fell to the ground.

Soon after, a man dressed in black jumped off the roof of a residential building.

He chose to land on the wall next to the twisted tree spirit in the corner of the yard.

"Whoosh!"

A strange rustling sound of branches and leaves rang out.

The next moment, a man's scream rang out from inside the twisted tree spirit.

"ah!"

After that, there was absolutely no further activity.

"Number 18?"

"Number 18!"

"Please respond, number 18!"

"......"

After a moment of silence.

The men still lurking on the rooftop looked at each other, completely bewildered.

What's going on here?

Why did it stop moving after I jumped?

Did that guy faint from the fall?

But he is a powerful being with a biological level as high as the second tier of advanced level!

How could someone possibly fall and be knocked unconscious from such a low building?

The traitors on the roof were completely baffled.

......

P.S.: I'm setting up the bowls, please vote with monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
