By the time they came down the mountain, it was already dark. Lu Siyao took Li Lei to the police station and handed him over to the officers on duty to be detained. Then, she happily took Liu Xiaoyuan to eat.
The restaurant was chosen to be the Huaqiang Hotel where Liu Xiaoyuan worked, which, according to Lu Siyao, was to help Liu Xiaoyuan increase sales.
When Yang Zihan saw Liu Xiaoyuan and Lu Siyao walking into the hotel chatting and laughing, she felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart, as if something she cherished had been stolen away.
"Zihan, have you eaten yet?" Lu Siyao asked happily as she approached Yang Zihan.
Yang Zihan smiled and said, "I'll eat, Sister Lu."
Then, Yang Zihan greeted General Manager Liu Xiaoyuan with a smile.
The two ordered two home-style dishes and chatted while eating.
Lu Siyao took a bite of rice, put down her chopsticks, looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with a serious expression, and said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, I have a question for you, and you must answer me truthfully."
Liu Xiaoyuan shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Siyao said, "Your skills are so amazing, can you tell me who you learned them from?"
This was a difficult question for Liu Xiaoyuan to answer. Should he tell Lu Siyao that he had obtained the so-called god-level invincible system?
Obviously, this is impossible. Liu Xiaoyuan didn't even tell his own parents about such a secret, let alone Lu Siyao.
Of course, it's not that Liu Xiaoyuan doesn't trust Lu Siyao, it's just that Liu Xiaoyuan feels that his relationship with Lu Siyao hasn't reached that point yet.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's troubled expression, Lu Siyao said, "Is there something you can't say? If so, then forget it!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great." After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and continued eating.
When Lu Siyao saw that Liu Xiaoyuan had taken her words seriously, she immediately got angry. She pouted her cute lips, stomped her foot in anger, and said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, I want to know, tell me now!"
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Lu Siyao in surprise and asked, "Siyao, didn't you just say that you didn't want to know and that I didn't need to tell you? How can you go back on your word?"
"So what if I went back on my word?" Lu Siyao looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and actually started acting like a rogue!
Indeed, Liu Xiaoyuan really had no way to deal with Lu Siyao.
"Tell me quickly, I want to know!" Lu Siyao's expression changed again, and she actually started to act coquettishly towards Liu Xiaoyuan.
Holy crap! That face-changing speed is faster than turning the pages of a book, it's like lightning!
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that if he didn't give Lu Siyao an answer tonight, she would use every trick in the book against him.
Rather than doing that, Liu Xiaoyuan might as well think of a better excuse and try to get by first.
"Say it now!" Lu Siyao grabbed Liu Xiaoyuan's right hand and gently shook it, just like a couple flirting.
“Okay, I’ll tell you!” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
It's not easy to get Lu Siyao, a tomboyish girl, to act cute. So, considering Lu Siyao's cuteness, Liu Xiaoyuan needs to think of a good way to respond!
Seeing that her trick had worked, Lu Siyao immediately sat up straight, propped herself up on the table with her right elbow, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with a smile.
"Go ahead and say it, I'm listening!" Lu Siyao said with a smile, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinking.
Liu Xiaoyuan organized his thoughts and said, "This story goes back to when I was a child. It was when I was in fifth grade and I was herding cattle in the mountains one day."
"At that time, I was all alone. I led our family's yellow ox into the mountains. I was young then and didn't know what fear was. I dared to herd cattle in the mountains all by myself. Looking back now, I was really brave back then."
"Suddenly, an old man with white hair and beard appeared in the mountains. When I saw this old man, I felt a sense of kinship."
"When the old man saw me, he immediately walked over to me and asked if I would like to become a martial arts master and protect world peace."
"At that time, I naturally didn't know what it meant to protect world peace, but I did know about martial arts masters, because at that time, my favorite characters were the masters in TV dramas, such as the White-Browed Hero and Zhan Zhao from Justice Bao."
“I fantasize all day about becoming a martial arts master and defeating bad guys. Once, our Chinese teacher asked us to write an essay called ‘Ideal.’ At that time, the ideals of my classmates were either to become a policeman or a teacher. I was the only one in the class whose ideal was to become a martial arts master.”
"At that time, because my work stood out from the crowd, I got first place in the class and my essay was read aloud to the whole class as a classic, which made me the center of attention at such a young age."
"Oh dear! We've gotten a bit off-topic. Let's get back to the old man's story. I immediately nodded in agreement, and the old man didn't hesitate either. He immediately pulled out a yellowed manual from his person, a manual called 'Fierce Tiger Fist'!"
"I thought the old man would give it to me for free, but he said that such a powerful martial arts manual couldn't be given away for free and that he had to charge me."
"Back then, as a primary school student, I had no money. I never had more than two yuan in pocket money!"
"The old man didn't believe me at the time, so he asked me to take him home. I immediately agreed and led the ox home. My parents weren't home. When the old man saw the cured meat on the stove in my house, his eyes lit up and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva."
"The old man told me that it didn't matter if I didn't have money, and that all I needed to do was give him two pieces of cured meat. I thought to myself that this was a good deal, so I immediately took it upon myself to exchange the two pieces of cured meat for the manual."
