The man sat in the shadows, drank a glass of bright red liquid, wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth, and said indifferently, "How is it, I am getting along well with this body, right?"
The man sitting on the sofa beside him had his hair combed meticulously and was wearing a simple suit that was just right. He pushed up his glasses and smiled politely, "Master, it's been a while now, and there haven't been any problems. That means we've been getting along well. It seems like you were born this way."
"Professor, thanks to your masterful hands." The man said softly, his smile not reaching his eyes. "You did a good job on this matter, but I told you not to touch that person. Don't you understand me?"
The man's tone was filled with anger. The man next to him, who was called Professor, sat up straight and explained with a smile, "I just like her body so much, don't I? That's why I want to study it. My Lord, I won't look for her again."
The man put down his goblet, straightened his clothes, and glanced at the professor who was sitting obediently on the sofa. "I hope you'll keep your word and don't let me know that you're still planning on her!"
The professor wiped the sweat from his forehead, bent over and said, "Yes, yes, definitely not, definitely not."
His face was full of respect and fear.
The man said nothing more, turned around and walked out, saying, "The full moon night is in two days. Send the prepared things over here."
The professor nodded and sent the man out. "It's ready. I'll send it to you tonight."
The man said nothing more and turned away.
The professor nodded and bowed as he watched the man walk away. When he raised his head, his face was expressionless.
A pair of slender, snow-white hands painted with red nail polish slowly stroked the professor's earlobe. "Professor, you dare to covet the woman the master wants to protect. You are so bold!"
The professor's face was filled with enjoyment as he grabbed the hand that was causing trouble. "You devil, you're not quiet even in broad daylight. Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson!"
The red nails ran away with a smile, and the black silk wrapped around the other hand looked a little abrupt.
"Come and catch me!"
......
After coming out of Zhou Huaqing's house, Xu Yi called Zheng Yibai. The phone rang for a long time before it was connected.
"Xiaobai, what have you been busy with lately? Why are you so secretive?"
Zheng Yibai looked at Boss Lu who was walking out of the yard in front of him and said in a low voice, "Nothing, Boss, I just have some personal matters to deal with recently. What's the matter? Do you need to talk to me?"
Listening to the low voice on the other side, Xu Yi did not ask any more questions. Everyone has secrets. Since Zheng Yibai was unwilling to say more, she would not ask any more questions.
"I'm here to work. I have something for you to do. Come to my rental house tomorrow when you're free."
"Okay, then I'll come to see you in the afternoon. I'll hang up first, boss." Zheng Yibai watched Boss Lu slowly approaching him and quickly hung up the phone.
"Boss Lu, what a coincidence, we meet again!" He was the first to greet.
I cursed inwardly, "How did he catch me again? Is my tracking skill really that bad?"
Boss Lu wasn't angry either. He smiled gently and said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Zheng. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Goodbye, I won't see you off."
Zheng Yibai watched Boss Lu leave. He didn't want to follow him, so he kicked the stones on the road to vent his anger and turned to walk in the direction Boss Lu had just come out.
......
Looking at the familiar faces on the stage, Xu Yi felt a headache coming on. With a smile on her face, she gritted her teeth and asked Zhou Huaqing beside her:
"Old Zhou, how come... why is this competition held in our school? And why is the president chosen from among them?"
Zhou Huaqing smiled and nodded, then spoke in a voice that the two of them could hear, "How's it going? Surprise, right? You know Ye Ming, Shi Qing, Chu Yi, Lin Hong, Liu Mu, and Fei Fei. There's also a newcomer, the girl over there named Zhou Wenye, who seems to be from your school. So, what do you think? Who do you think is more promising among these people?"
Xu Yi was a little speechless.
She thought it would be a huge spectacle, something that would make people want to be tricked into it, but when she looked at it, it was just like this...
Looking at this lineup, I can tell at a glance that you are trying to cause trouble. It would be strange if others were fooled.
Last time it was an exchange meeting, this time it's the same thing in a different name, a whole Taoist academic salon.
The name may sound like a new take on a musket, but the substance inside is the same.
Xu Yi was dazzled by the bright red banner in front of her. When she looked closely, she saw the golden words written on it: "This salon event is sponsored by Black Sweetheart Dessert Shop."
Xu Yi gritted her teeth and continued to ask in a voice that the two of them could hear, "Is Ye Ming's injury healed? And there's sponsorship this time, and it's from a dessert shop. You guys are awesome! I give you a thumbs up! How much is it? Or should I sponsor one from Xu Banxian's live broadcast room as well?"
"I don't know what's going on with that sponsorship. Just don't join in the fun. Don't you think it's chaotic enough? Ye Ming's injury has healed a long time ago. He will definitely participate in such an important event." Zhou Huaqing looked helpless.
How come this girl is so eloquent now? She doesn't have the steady and mature demeanor at all like she did at the beginning.
I still remember that when I saw her, I always felt that there was a mature old Taoist priest in her body. The more familiar I am with her now, the more I feel that I must have been dazzled at that time.
Xu Yi continued to chatter: "So what are we going to do today? After this boring ceremony is over, shall we all gather in a circle and have a pleasant chat? And then share our experiences in learning the Dao?"
Zheng Yibai, who was standing by, burst out laughing.
Zhou Huaqing was so angry that his beard almost stood up.
"Stand still, just maintain order, that's all. Girls, don't be so whiny, it's inappropriate. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked you for help. You're just making things worse. I thought you could help out at your school, coordinate things, but I didn't expect you to be of no help at all."
