Chapter 1124: Wash the Dates First
When Ye Xiao returned, he found that everyone, including Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing, was here.
As soon as they saw Ye Xiao coming in from outside, everyone immediately stood up.
"Ye Xiao!"
"Boss!"
"Bro!"
Everyone walked straight to Ye Xiao, and describing it as 'like stars surrounding the moon' was really precise; even Ye Xiao felt a bit overwhelmed by the attention.
"What's with those expressions?" Ye Xiao looked at everyone's 'finally relieved' look and laughed, "Come on, I'm Ye Xiao."
"What's so special about being Ye Xiao? Do you really think you're Superman?" Xia Mingyue rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao, looking tense but still maintaining a tough façade.
"Bro, are you okay?" Ye Ziyan came up to Ye Xiao, her delicate hand gripping his arm, speaking to him nervously.
Ye Xiao laughed it off nonchalantly, saying, "Of course, I'm fine. Though I'm not Superman, I'm Ye Xiao. The things Superman can't do, I might just pull off."
"Alright, did you take care of everything?" Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Xiao, asking with concern.
Ye Xiao said, "Should be resolved."
"What do you mean by 'should be resolved'? Is there still trouble?" Wang Luoxin asked.
"Hopefully not. It's late, shouldn't we be sleeping?" Ye Xiao said, deliberately yawning.
Everyone looked at each other, clearly understanding that Ye Xiao didn't want to talk about it. Since Ye Xiao didn't want to say more, they naturally didn't push further.
"Boss, I'm heading out." At this moment, Zhou Hao said to Ye Xiao.
After all, most of the women here had some connection with Ye Xiao, possibly involving bickering, and Zhou Hao being here seemed a bit unsuitable.
Ye Xiao laughed, "Alright then, Cheng Yun, see him off."
At this time, Cheng Yun, standing next to Wang Luoxin, immediately responded, "Why should I? Why don't you see him off yourself?"
Ye Xiao smiled, "I don't know if it's still raining, so go down with Zhou Hao. If it's not raining, just bring back the umbrella. Of course, your duty is just to take the umbrella; seeing someone off is optional."
"I don't need an umbrella." Zhou Hao, noticing Cheng Yun's reluctance, quickly said considerately.
"Doesn't matter, it's winter now, and winter rain is cold. I know from experience. If you want to get wet, that's up to you." Ye Xiao said casually and then yawned, saying, "I am indeed a bit sleepy."
Cheng Yun glanced at Ye Xiao and finally looked at Zhou Hao, saying, "Alright, I'll get the umbrella."
Cheng Yun and Zhou Hao walked out together.
Once the door closed, Ye Ziyan giggled and said to Ye Xiao, "Bro, are you trying to play matchmaker?"
"I'm a guy." Ye Xiao immediately said seriously, "A male matchmaker."
"..."
At this moment, seeing Zhou Hao leave and hearing Ye Xiao mention sleeping, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing directly said, "We're heading back too, got work tomorrow."
"Don't you two want to learn Martial Arts? Now that Ye Xiao is back, he's the best teacher you could have." Wang Luoxin smiled as she spoke to Xia Mingyue.
Xia Mingyue glanced at Ye Xiao and then said to Wang Luoxin, "You teach us, you should be more than enough."
Wang Luoxin said, "In terms of skills, Ye Xiao here is beyond masterful, so he's the most suitable. Surely, you want to quickly improve your abilities too."
"Hmm..." Fang Jing hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed indeed.
At this moment, Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Xiao and said, "It's perfect that Mingyue and Fang Jing are heading back. Why don't you see them off and explain some of the Martial Arts Cultivation theories to them?"
After what happened at the restaurant entrance today, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing felt even more compelled to practice martial arts. They didn't want to be burdens to Ye Xiao, and more importantly, they wanted to protect themselves.
To Ye Xiao, if these two practiced martial arts, it would be a great benefit.
"Alright!" Ye Xiao said.
Then, Ye Xiao left with Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing.
Soon, only Wang Luoxin and Ye Ziyan were left in the living room.
"Sister, you seem to be deliberately creating opportunities for them." Ye Ziyan looked at Wang Luoxin, knowing full well Wang Luoxin's feelings for Ye Xiao. However, now Wang Luoxin was giving chances for Wang Luoxin, Xia Mingyue, and Fang Jing to be together, which was perplexing to her.
Wang Luoxin smiled slightly, saying, "You're quite the thinker, little girl. Ye Xiao is like a dragon; a dragon can't be confined. Since he can't be confined, let him soar across the world."
"But!" Ye Ziyan tried to protest.
"I know what you're thinking, so let's not talk about it. Ye Xiao has his own thoughts." Wang Luoxin smiled and said.
Ye Ziyan looked at Wang Luoxin's faint smile, not really understanding, but she was glad she chose to step back from the situation. Otherwise, she felt she couldn't remain so composed.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiao was slowly stepping into the elevator with Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing.
"You seem to be getting along well!" Ye Xiao said with a smile.
"She's really concerned about you." Xia Mingyue said, looking at Ye Xiao.
Xia Mingyue was referring to Wang Luoxin.
Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised, smiled slightly, and said, "I understand."
Then, the three of them fell silent.
When the elevator doors opened, Cheng Yun was standing at the entrance, seemingly ready to take the elevator.
"You guys?" Cheng Yun saw Ye Xiao and the others.
Ye Xiao said, "I'm taking them back. What about Zhou Hao?"
"Why should I care? I'm just responsible for holding the umbrella," Cheng Yun said casually, as if nothing had happened.
Ye Xiao shrugged without saying anything.
Fang Jing smiled and said, "We're heading out."
"Bye-bye!" Cheng Yun also smiled.
Cheng Yun took the elevator upstairs, while Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing chatted and laughed about Cheng Yun and Zhou Hao.
They didn't know much about Zhou Hao, after all, they officially met him today. Cheng Yun, on the other hand, they'd met many times.
"It seems they really are fated to meet. It looks like it'll take a long time to pierce through this layer," Fang Jing said with a smile.
Xia Mingyue said, "Usually, Cheng Yun seems pretty carefree. I didn't expect her to be so shy."
"Yeah, maybe she's a bit embarrassed mentally. If they really want to break through, it'll be up to Cheng Yun," Fang Jing said.
Xia Mingyue nodded slightly.
At this moment, Ye Xiao laughed and said, "It's all Zhou Hao's fault, not Cheng Yun's."
"Why blame Zhou Hao?" Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing asked, puzzled.
Ye Xiao said, "For a confession face-to-face, in my experience, you absolutely cannot be timid. Otherwise, it won't be good for you. Not many people like sissies."
"Didn't expect it, you really are experienced," Xia Mingyue said with a hint of irony.
Hearing this, Ye Xiao felt like he had misspoken, immediately laughed awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject, "Later, I'll teach you two a martial arts mental method. I'll first show you how to cultivate every day, and when the time is right, I'll help you open your governor and conception vessels, and then you can officially practice martial arts."
"Governor and conception vessels?" Fang Jing exclaimed in surprise, "So these really exist? I thought they were just plots in martial arts novels!"
"..."
Filled with expectations for the path of martial arts cultivation, Fang Jing, Xia Mingyue, and Ye Xiao returned to their place.
"Let's wash the dates first." This was Ye Xiao's first sentence upon entering the living room, and he also unbuttoned his shirt collar.
Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao as if he were a monster, then became extremely wary.
"What do you want to do?"
Ye Xiao unbuttoned the first button of his collar, looked at the two of them, puzzled, and said, "Nothing, just washing dates?"
"Ye Xiao, don't get any funny ideas. Our task now is to practice martial arts," Xia Mingyue said, more wary than ever.
Although she had already determined to be Ye Xiao's woman without conditions, she had no intention of giving her all until the crucial moment, so she decided to hold her ground.
Ye Xiao saw the two of them being so cautious, and said with a puzzled expression, "Is there something wrong with asking to wash dates? Are the dates on this table not for eating?"
At this moment, Xia Mingyue released her guard and noticed a plastic bag on the table, filled with red dates.
They remembered that they had gone to the supermarket in the evening to buy dates to boost Qi-Blood.
"Are these the dates you're talking about?" Xia Mingyue hesitantly pointed to the red dates in the plastic bag.
"What do you think?" Ye Xiao said, walking over to pick up the bag of red dates and heading to the kitchen, "I'm your teacher, after all, and you two treat me like this. Don't even want to wash the dates when asked."
Ye Xiao walked into the kitchen, looking helpless.
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the two of them couldn't help but smile wryly.
But just then, Ye Xiao, who had entered the kitchen, suddenly returned, looking at Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing who were smiling wryly in the living room.
"Something's not right. Were your minds wandering somewhere else just now? Let me tell you, I'm a man of purity," Ye Xiao said with a serious expression.
"No, not at all!" Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing quickly denied, saying, "Actually, we think eating an apple would be fine."
Listening to their words, Ye Xiao chuckled and walked into the kitchen, humming a tune: "Purity, oh purity, a pure heart is mine..."
"What is he singing?" Fang Jing asked Xia Mingyue, puzzled.
"Heaven knows, I only know that he's mocking us," Xia Mingyue whispered.
"You were the one with the impure thoughts."
"Weren't you too?" Xia Mingyue glared at Fang Jing.
