At 10 a.m., the road through the cedar forest was restarted, and the noise of the machines drifted far, far away.
Liu Xiaoyuan took a look and said to the construction company boss, "Boss, we can't cut corners this time, understand?"
The boss nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, this time we will definitely use the best cement. Rest assured, I will personally supervise the construction, so you can put your mind at ease!"
Liu Xiaoyuan patted his boss on the shoulder and said, "Then I'm relieved. Remember, if there's any problem with the road, I'll still hold you accountable."
The boss quickly said he wouldn't dare to do it again; he still vividly remembered what happened last night, and he would never dare to cut corners even if you killed him.
After staying there for a while, Liu Xiaoyuan left immediately. He didn't have time to stay there indefinitely.
Dad, on the other hand, has been sticking to his post this time because of the problem last time, to see if anyone has cut corners.
Liu Xiaoyuan advised his father to go back, saying that since he could stay here, he wouldn't know if others cut corners, because the concrete was mixed at the mixing plant and then transported here by truck.
But his father insisted on staying here, and Liu Xiaoyuan had no choice. Perhaps, his father had to do this to be worthy of the whole village!
My father felt very guilty about what happened on the cement road, believing that he had let down the trust of the whole village and that he had made a big mistake.
After returning home, Liu Xiaoyuan was about to drive out to buy some things when he suddenly received a call from Tang Xuan.
When Liu Xiaoyuan saw that the call was from Tang Xuan, he realized that he hadn't visited his old classmate in a long time.
"Hey, Tang Xuan, what's up?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile after the call connected.
Tang Xuan said, "Xiao Yuan, I need your help with something. Can you help me?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "What is it? Tell me. I'll definitely help if I can!"
Tang Xuan said shyly, "Xiao Yuan, can you...can you pretend to be my boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan asked, "Tang Xuan, what's wrong? Is your mom making you go on a blind date?"
Generally, when a woman asks someone to pretend to be her boyfriend, it means she's being pressured by her family to go on blind dates, and she doesn't want to. So she finds a fake boyfriend to avoid going on blind dates.
Therefore, when Tang Xuan made this request, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately thought of this possibility.
To be honest, back in high school, Liu Xiaoyuan had a crush on Tang Xuan, and he still has a tiny bit of feelings for her now.
So when he heard Tang Xuan's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately replied, "Tang Xuan, I can't refuse this favor. I'll come right away."
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan hung up the phone and bought some fruit on the way there, since it would be impolite to go to someone's house empty-handed.
Upon arriving at Tang Xuan's home, Liu Xiaoyuan learned that it wasn't Tang Xuan's mother who asked her to believe, but rather that a local thug had taken a liking to Tang Xuan and was harassing her every few days.
Although Tang Xuan knew some martial arts, this move obviously wouldn't work on the thugs, because the thugs were also trained and their skills were actually on par with Tang Xuan's.
Left with no other option, Tang Xuan sent a distress signal to Liu Xiaoyuan, asking for his help.
After hearing Tang Xuan's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately said, "Tang Xuan, don't worry, I will definitely help you solve this problem."
Liu Xiaoyuan and Tang Xuan were talking at home when that thug came again. He was carrying gifts and before he even entered the house, he shouted, "Tang Xuan, I've come to see you and your aunt!"
Hearing the shout, Tang Xuan said with disgust, "That annoying guy is here again!"
Liu Xiaoyuan and Tang Xuan went outside and saw a man in his twenties standing at the door. His hair was dyed yellow, and he looked like a street thug, but he was actually a martial artist in the late stage of internal energy.
No wonder Tang Xuan couldn't handle this thug; it turns out he was a martial artist at the late stage of internal energy cultivation.
"Tang Xuan, who is this? Is he one of your cousins?" the man asked with a smile.
Tang Xuan put her arm around Liu Xiaoyuan's and said, "He's not my cousin anymore, he's my boyfriend. Shi Feng, don't bother me anymore, I have a boyfriend now."
Upon hearing this, Shi Feng laughed and said, "Tang Xuan, you didn't pay someone to find a guy to pretend to be your boyfriend, did you?"
"Besides, even if he's your boyfriend, as long as you haven't registered your marriage, I still have a chance!" Shi Feng said with a grin.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "I hate it when people try to hit on my girlfriend. I advise you to disappear from my sight, or I'll throw you out!"
In Shi Feng's eyes, Liu Xiaoyuan was an ordinary person, and for an ordinary person to dare to speak to him like that was simply courting death.
Shi Feng laughed and said, "Kid, are you sure you want to fight me? I won't hold back then, because we're rivals for love!"
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "You're not even worthy of being my rival in love. I'm just giving you a chance. Don't come crying and begging for your life later."
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's arrogant words, Shi Feng sneered and said to Tang Xuan, "Tang Xuan, I don't see any other skills your fake boyfriend has, but his ability to brag is first-rate."
Tang Xuan said angrily, "Shi Feng, you'll find out whether my boyfriend is bragging or not. Be careful he doesn't beat you to a pulp."
Tang Xuan naturally knew Liu Xiaoyuan's abilities and knew that dealing with Shi Feng would be a piece of cake for him.
When Shi Feng saw Tang Xuan speaking up for Liu Xiaoyuan like this, he thought to himself, "Fine, I'll beat this fake boyfriend of yours to a pulp right here and now."
"Kid, aren't you very capable? Come on, let me see what you've got!" Shi Feng beckoned to Liu Xiaoyuan, inviting him to spar with him.
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and walked over step by step to Shi Feng, saying, "Are you sure you want to spar with me?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Feng snorted coldly and said, "Of course, I'll beat you so badly you'll be crawling on the ground looking for your teeth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Feng threw a punch at Liu Xiaoyuan's face. The punch was fast, accurate, and ruthless, with a hint of force.
This punch might be considered a very powerful punch by an ordinary person, but to Liu Xiaoyuan, it was trash and not worth mentioning at all.
Liu Xiaoyuan casually reached out and caught Shi Feng's punch. Instantly, Shi Feng felt as if his fist was being clamped tightly by a large iron clamp. A piercing pain spread, causing tears to stream down Shi Feng's face, which turned deathly pale and looked quite frightening!
