The young beauty stared at the two entwined like octopuses, her face turning ashen.

Lin Mengxue’s face flushed red, and she hurriedly got off Su Xuan, straightened her nearly translucent clothes, and quickly moved to the young beauty’s side.

“Ru, don’t get the wrong idea, I was just catching up with Su Xuan!”

As those words came out, let alone the young beauty not believing them, even Lin Mengxue herself felt they were false.

Fortunately, Su Xuan had such thick skin, already hardened to the extent of being impervious to swords and guns, that even being caught red-handed by the young beauty did not change his expression.

“Ya is all grown up now!

Do you still remember your brother?”

The young beauty also reacted by then, extending a slender, pale finger towards Su Xuan, “Is he Su Xuan?

The Su Xuan who used to live next to our house?”

Su Xuan chuckled and, with a cheeky smile, leaned in and said, “I knew Ya still remembered brother!”

This young beauty was Lin Mengxue’s sister, Lin Mengru.

Back when Su Xuan was still in Qingshan City, it was always Lin Mengxue who took care of him.

Back then, he and this girl had erupted into conflicts over the affection of their elder sister, Lin Mengxue, more than a hundred times.

Of course, at that time, Su Xuan, being a year older, always managed to make Lin Mengru cry and tattle.

Lin Mengru directly used her hand to block Su Xuan’s face, preventing him from getting any closer.

“Hmph, of course, I haven’t forgotten you!” Lin Mengru spoke almost word by word, and if looks could kill, she would have slain him countless times by now.

She vividly remembered how Su Xuan not only competed with her for their sister’s attention but also seized every opportunity to snatch snacks from her hands, marking her childhood with tales of being bullied by him.

Lin Mengxue saw that these two were on the verge of erupting into conflict as soon as they met and quickly stood between them, gently saying, “Alright, alright, now that Ru is here, let’s have dinner together!”

“Forget it, I lose my appetite seeing him!” Lin Mengru said coldly, walking straight toward the bedroom.

“Sis, I’m staying over at your place tonight, I’ll go back to the dorm tomorrow.”

Hearing Lin Mengru’s words, Su Xuan’s face fell.

…

When Su Xuan got home, it was already very late.

Thinking about how his night had been ruined by that rascal Lin Mengru made him grit his teeth in anger.

However, thinking about Lin Mengxue, the passionate young widow, his heart heated up again.

Looking at the dust-covered room, Su Xuan sighed softly, murmuring to himself, “Ah, the nights are long and hard to endure, hard to endure indeed~”

During his time in the military, Su Xuan had been in all sorts of environments.

Although this room was a bit dusty, compared to the places he had been, it was almost a paradise on earth.

The night passed without words, and at exactly six in the morning the next day, Su Xuan woke up on time.

This was a habit he had cultivated in the military, with a biological clock so precise it was never off by even a second.

After getting up and washing up, Su Xuan pulled out Chen Wanqing’s business card, pondering in his mind: right now, he was penniless, and it was essential to find a job to support himself.

Well then, he might as well start working at this young lady’s hotel for now.

Whenever Su Xuan thought of Chen Wanqing’s smile, which was equally charming whether joyful or annoyed, he felt that working as a security guard at her hotel wasn’t such an unacceptable prospect— it was at least pleasant to the eyes!

Descending the stairs, it was still early.

Most of the residents in the neighborhood were still asleep.

While jogging in the park outside the neighborhood, Su Xuan controlled his breath and gradually reached a frequency that harmonized with the surrounding nature.

This was a cultivation technique taught by the Military God Sect, which involved cultivating the internal Qi through breathing.

Although that unreliable Military God claimed that once this technique was fully mastered, one could even ascend to become an immortal,

having practiced it for so long, Su Xuan found that apart from a stronger physical condition and being a bit more formidable than the average person, there was nothing particularly special about it.

As for becoming an immortal as the Military God had said, well, whether you believe it or not, Su Xuan didn’t— he figured it was just another of the Military God’s tall tales!

While Su Xuan was mulling over these thoughts, he noticed a beauty with flowing long hair jogging ahead, her back turned to him.

At this point, you might ask, since the person was running away from Su Xuan, how did he know she was a beauty?

Good question, as the saying goes, “Bosom, hips, waist, and face.” The four standards of a beauty, with the face being the least important.

And the girl Su Xuan saw excelled in the first three!

Just as Su Xuan was getting eager to start a conversation, the beauty suddenly turned around and snapped fiercely, “What are you looking at?

Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyeballs out!”

Unexpectedly, the beauty turned out to be Lin Mengru, whom he had seen just the night before.

“Hey, I say Ru, it’s been a few years, and your temper has certainly grown!”

Although he said this, Su Xuan noticed that Lin Mengru was completely different from the little girl who used to cry all the time and liked to cling to Lin Mengxue’s back.

It’s said that a girl changes eighteen times as she grows into a woman.

This phrase couldn’t be more fitting for Lin Mengru.

With long, elegant hair and a youthful, beautiful face, at this moment Lin Mengru, even without a touch of makeup, could outshine numerous so-called starlets.

“A natural beauty free from worldly trappings.”

Somehow, Su Xuan subconsciously thought of this line of poetry.

He usually hung out with the rough men of the Military God Sect and certainly wasn’t accustomed to reciting elegant verses.

Inspired by a moment of grace, after reciting the line, he struck an extremely flamboyant pose, tossed his short hair, and said with eyes full of affection, “Ru, I’ve realized that I’ve fallen in love… with you!”

“Pah, you pervert!”

Unfortunately, it was clear he picked the wrong person.

Lin Mengru was not buying his act.

After spitting in disgust, she turned her head and walked away.

“Hey, wait up, I think we could discuss life, or talk about dreams or something…” Su Xuan didn’t give up and quickly sped up to run alongside Lin Mengru.

Just as he caught up to her, the young beauty Lin Mengru suddenly let out a light laugh.

“What’s so funny?

Laughing like that in broad daylight is creepy.”

Su Xuan thought to himself: Could this girl have received some shock and gone mad?

No way, I’m her neighbor after all, I must help her out somehow.
