"Brother Chen, are you going with Brother Hua to meet my blind date today?" In the dormitory that evening, Wang Aihua looked at Xu Chen with longing, hoping he would agree. Because of certain unspoken reasons, Xu Chen's image as her younger brother had been greatly elevated in Zhao Weimin and Wang Aihua's minds. Zhao Weimin also looked at Xu Chen expectantly. Xu Chen put down his phone, and the three of them abandoned their teammates and started chatting. "Brother Hua, what's wrong with you? It's just a blind date, do you need your brother to give you courage?" Xu Chen asked, puzzled. Zhao Weimin saw Wang Aihua stammering and blushing, not daring to speak. Sighing, Zhao Weimin said, "Brother Chen, you don't know, Aihua's blind date is his childhood sweetheart whom he's liked since they were little." Xu Chen nodded thoughtfully, then said, "So Brother Hua is shy? What do Brother Wei and Brother Hua want me to do?" Zhao Weimin patted Xu Chen's shoulder, "The two of us will act as Aihua's underlings for a day, to give him some face." Wang Aihua nodded, saying eagerly, "Brother Chen, don't refuse your brother! After it's done, I'll treat you to a good meal." "Deal!"
The three arrived at a quiet business restaurant. The atmosphere was subdued, with people eating and conversing in hushed tones. Elegantly dressed white-collar workers raised their glasses to each other. The lights in the lobby shone through the green leaves on the ceiling, providing sufficient visibility without being too bright. Xu Chen surveyed the environment and said to Wang Aihua, "Brother Hua, are you sure this is the place? This feels more like a business meeting than a blind date." Zhao Weimin answered for Wang Aihua, "This girl grew up with Aihua. She went to the US for high school because of her dreams and only recently returned. Her dream is to become a top entrepreneur." Wang Aihua nodded. Xu Chen smiled and continued walking. The three opened the door to a private room. As soon as they entered, Wang Aihua's face flushed uncontrollably. She kept thinking, "She's still..." "So beautiful." The group pulled out chairs and sat down. When Zhao Weimin saw Wang Aihua stammering and unable to speak, he thought, "Oh no." He glanced at Xu Chen and saw him idly drinking tea. He kicked Xu Chen, who understood and quickly stood up, saying, "Hello." He then extended his right hand, and the girl politely shook hands with Xu Chen. "Weimin, I know you. And you are... Hua Zi's new acquaintance?" Xu Chen nodded and said, "I'm Hua Ge's college roommate." He glanced at Wang Aihua, who was avoiding eye contact with the girl and stirring her food with her chopsticks, and then added, "Hua Ge told me he gets really nervous around you, so he brought Wei Ge and me over for courage." Upon hearing this, Wang Aihua was both angry and anxious. She wanted to speak, but when she met the girl's smiling eyes, she quickly lowered her head again. Zhao Weimin slapped his forehead and continued, "Sister Yuemei, are you planning to settle down here after returning to China?" Su Yuemei nodded. "Yes, if I don't come back and catch that silly boy, he'll be snatched away by someone else." Xu Chen and Weimin felt goosebumps watching Su Yuemei say this to Wang Aihua with such affection. Wang Aihua finally mustered up his courage and stammered, "Sister Yue... Sister Yuemei, I said I would wait for you. I will wait for you forever." Xu Chen couldn't take it anymore and stood up to pull Zhao Weimin out of the private room, but Aihua grabbed his sleeve, forcing them to sit back down. The group finished their dinner in a very awkward but also very warm atmosphere for the couple.
After the meal, seeing that Wang Aihua was gradually becoming bolder and communicating without any more obstacles, Xu Chen and his companion left the private room. After finishing their tea, Wang Aihua and her companion also left. Finally, it was the familiar routine of the man escorting the woman home. Watching the two drive away, Zhao Weimin sighed to Xu Chen, "Brother Chen, it seems that Li Wei and I need to speed things up." Xu Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Take it slow. You can't force matters of the heart."
After parting ways with Zhao Weimin, Xu Chen thought of Qin Ziyue. He needed her to answer his questions about the Youth-Preserving Pill and the fish. Looking at the sky, it wasn't too late, so Xu Chen headed straight for the police station, waiting for Qin Ziyue to finish work. Soon, a staff member asked Xu Chen what he wanted. Xu Chen honestly replied, "I'm here to see Ms. Qin Ziyue; I'm waiting for her to finish work." The staff member looked at Xu Chen with surprise. "A new suitor? Looks like he doesn't know the personality of our Ice-Clad Policewoman." The staff member shook his head, thinking helplessly. He then turned and entered the police station. Not long after, a large crowd gathered at the entrance. Most were there for entertainment, a few were still pursuing her and hadn't given up, and very few were looking for someone in the same boat. It could be said that all the unmarried, eligible young men in the police station who weren't out on duty had come. Xu Chen looked at the various people in the police station observing him with a puzzled expression. Only after Qin Ziyue appeared did he understand what these guys were thinking.
"Senior, over here." Xu Chen waved, and Qin Ziyue immediately noticed him, rushing forward and saying, "Little brother, what brings you here? Do you have something to ask?" Xu Chen smiled awkwardly and slowly said, "Yes, senior, I have two things I'd like to ask you." He glanced at the gritting-teeth police officer behind Qin Ziyue, then, his playful side emerged, and Xu Chen loudly proclaimed, "Sister, come to my house for dinner tonight?" Qin Ziyue's beautiful eyes darted around, "Okay." The police officer behind her looked at Xu Chen as if he wanted to devour him. Xu Chen smiled and said to Qin Ziyue, "Senior, it seems you're quite popular." Qin Ziyue smiled but didn't reply.
"Senior, this is a Wenyao fish from our Tianquan Sect. You may know that I'm currently dating Lili. I want to help her cultivate immortality so that she can stay with me for a long time. Do you think this fish can do that?" After returning home, Xu Chen and Qin Ziyue went into the study. Xu Chen looked at Qin Ziyue nervously and whispered, as if he was expecting an answer. Qin Ziyue scanned the area with her divine sense. "Is it the girl sleeping in the bedroom upstairs?" Xu Chen nodded. Qin Ziyue looked at Xu Chen with a complicated expression, then slowly said, "Do you know how precious this fish is? If I hadn't been guileless, you would have died at my hands long ago, and I would have taken it too." Xu Chen looked at Qin Ziyue and continued, "Firstly, I truly don't understand. From the time I embarked on the path of cultivation until now, only a little over 200 years have passed. Senior's cultivation is unfathomable, and your experience and knowledge should be far broader than mine. Secondly, Senior and I both live in this city, and we will continue to live here in the future. The probability of Senior discovering this fish in the future is not small." Qin Ziyue nodded. "You're quite a smart person." Recalling what Xu Chen had just said, she asked in surprise, "You said you've only been cultivating for a little over 200 years?"
