On second thought, Grandfather Ling actually addressed Uncle Zhang as senior, which didn't seem like an old friend. Moreover, when Grandfather Ling said the word senior, he seemed very respectful, like an admirer talking about his idol.
Thinking of this, Haojun couldn't help but feel puzzled. However, since Grandfather Ling was asking him a question, he couldn't just ignore it and said,""Probably."
"Roughly?" Ling Tian was startled, clearly not understanding what Haojun meant.
"He didn't tell me his real name either." Hao Jun smiled bitterly.”
Ling Tian let out a long 'oh'. When he came to this world, didn't he also use a fake name? He was afraid that the senior was the same as him and did not want others to know his true identity, right? Feeling slightly disappointed, he sighed and said to Haojun,""Are you curious as to why I guessed that the senior who taught you the Heaven-Defying Art was surnamed Zhang?”
"If the old man is reluctant, then there's no need to say anything." Hao Jun smiled.”
Ling Tian replied," That's nothing. What's there to keep a secret from me and you?" Haha, you guessed correctly. I am indeed from the cultivation world. Although Senior Zhang doesn't belong to the cultivation world, he has stayed there for a period of time. As far as I know, other than him, no one else in the world has cultivated the Heaven Defying Art.”
"Doesn't he belong to the cultivation world?" "Is he from this world?" Hao Jun was surprised.”
" This..." Ling Tian seemed to be in a difficult position, and after a moment of silence, he said,""If you have the chance, you should ask him yourself. Since he hasn't told you, he must have a deep meaning.”From what the old man said, it seemed that he was quite afraid of Uncle Zhang.
Since the old man had said so, Haojun couldn't ask further. He was more curious about Uncle Zhang. He rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly."Alright then. By the way, old man, what I wanted to tell you is that my Heaven-Defying Art has reached a bottleneck two years ago, but I haven't been able to break through. Last time I treated you, I thought my cultivation would regress by a few years, but last night, after my body recovered completely, I realized that my cultivation is still at the bottleneck. It's just that the true qi in my body is a little less than before. I don't know why?”
After letting out a long 'oh', Ling Tian appeared to be a little puzzled,""Your situation is indeed very rare. However, the Heaven Defying Art you cultivate is profound and profound. It is the most profound cultivation technique in the world and is definitely not something I can understand. However, according to my past experience, in your situation, the strength of your true qi shouldn't determine the advancement of your realm, right?”
Haojun was confused and smiled bitterly.""Old Master, I don't quite understand what you mean.”
Ling Tian nodded his head and said," Let me put it this way. In the world that I once lived in, there were a few deviant sects. Their cultivation method was to use the blood, essence, or souls of living people to raise their cultivation. The other was to absorb the evil energy of the world to strengthen oneself. The latter was enlightenment!”
"Enlightenment?" Haojun felt disgusted when he heard the first few cultivation methods. Only the latter one made him curious.
"Not bad, enlightenment!" Ling Tian continued," There are some techniques that are difficult to improve after they have been cultivated to a certain extent. In our world, many cultivators who have just entered the sect are like this. In the early stages of cultivation, once they encounter a bottleneck, most people will need to spend more than ten years or even decades to break through. There are even some who won't be able to break through in their entire lives. "I think you might be in the same situation. At this time, you must correct your mentality and find a breakthrough point. You have to change some things from your mindset. Otherwise, you will be like walking into a dead end. One day, you will be forced into Qi deviation!”
After hearing the old man's words, Haojun immediately understood something. In the past, Uncle Zhang had taught him the Heaven Defying Art, but other than some basic knowledge, he had not given him any other guidance. Thus, he did not have a comprehensive understanding of the Dao of Cultivation. He then looked at Ling Tian with gratitude and said,""Old Master, I understand."
Ling Tian smiled and did not say anything. He suddenly stood up and walked to a wardrobe. After opening it, he pressed a button somewhere and the wooden board inside the wardrobe automatically moved to the sides. A hidden compartment appeared inside, and within it was a mysterious box carved with dragon and phoenix patterns.
Hao Jun was curious about all this and did not speak.
Ling Tian turned around and opened the box in front of Haojun. From within, he took out a small pendant that was emitting a dark green light. Although it was daytime, the green light was still extremely dazzling. It was truly mystical.
"This item is called the Hundred Treasures Mirror. It can sense any treasure with spiritual power.”The old man handed the pendant to Haojun with a smile and said,""I said I would return you a favor, so I've decided to give it to you.”
Haojun was shocked. To be able to sense a treasure with spiritual power, this Hundred Treasures Mirror was a priceless treasure in the eyes of self-cultivators. He really didn't dare to accept such a gift. He didn't accept it at the moment and smiled bitterly."Old Master, I can't accept this kind of thing. You should keep it for yourself. As for healing you, I only used a little true qi, so it didn't affect me too much.”
Ling Tian frowned and said," If you were here, it would be nothing. But if I were here, I would have been able to keep my life." If you don't accept it, then I can't afford it.”
Haojun broke into a sweat. If he didn't accept it, he wouldn't be able to represent him? What was the old man doing? She was comparable to his precious granddaughter. Helpless, he took it and said,"Alright then, I'll take it. Thank you, Old Master."
"Hehe, that's more like it." Ling Tian let out a sigh of relief and had a happy expression on his face.
Haojun observed the Hundred Treasures Mirror for a moment and said,""Old man, what kind of abnormal reaction will the Hundred Treasures Mirror have when it senses the existence of a treasure?”
Ling Tian said," Just like now, it will automatically glow. Moreover, the brighter the light, the stronger the spiritual power of the treasure.”
Haojun's heart skipped a beat as he gave Grandfather Ling a strange look.
Ling Tian smiled," That's right. I have a decent treasure in my room, which is why the Hundred Treasures Mirror is emitting such a bright light."”
Haojun smiled tacitly. Although he was curious about what kind of treasure it was, he didn't ask much and changed the topic,""Old Master, there's one more thing I don't know if I should ask.”
"Oh? What was it? Go ahead."
"How did the old master go berserk?"
Ling Tian was stunned for a moment before heaving a long sigh,""If you want to blame someone, you can only blame me for being too anxious when I was cultivating!”
Haojun knew that Grandfather Ling was not the kind of person who would be easily agitated. So, why was he in such a hurry to cultivate?
Haojun didn't ask, but the old man said,""I know what you're thinking…Actually, all of this is related to my arch-enemy.
More than ten years ago, I met him once and secretly competed with him. In the end, I was seriously injured. If I hadn't used a powerful magic treasure at the critical moment to injure him, I might not have survived that time.
After that battle, my body never recovered, so I lied to the public that I had a heart attack. Because I injured my tendons and vessels, I could no longer cultivate. Until recently, I felt that he was coming back again. I was worried that he would hurt the people around me, so I forced myself to cultivate. In the end, I was careless and almost went berserk. If you didn't arrive in time, I'm afraid that my soul would have already scattered by now.”
After hearing the old man's words, Haojun immediately understood something. In the past, Uncle Zhang had taught him the Heaven Defying Art, but other than some basic knowledge, he had not given him any other guidance.

If you didn't arrive in time, I'm afraid that my soul would have already scattered by now.”
Ling Tian was stunned for a moment before smiling," So it's this. It's alright then. I'll go back later today. I'll just drink and rest a little more."__”
Ling Xue secretly whispered to Haojun. Although Haojun was her duty, she was still secretly touched. For her sake, he didn't even dare to drink…She didn't know where she got the courage, but she suddenly said,""Haojun, you can drink it. Grandpa can't drink, so why don't I toast you on his behalf?”He raised the goblet of red wine in front of him and gestured for Haojun to toast.
Hao Jun was stunned. Looking at Ling Xue's beautiful face, he thought he had heard wrongly. Before he could say anything, he heard Grandfather Ling say with a smile,""That's good too. Since Xue 'er is accompanying me, I won't drink. Haha, drink more!"
After hearing this, Haojun raised his cup. Just as he was about to toast Ling Xue, Xia Lianyue suddenly stepped in and raised her cup as well, placing it between the two cups. After a soft ""I'll drink with you guys too." It made everyone laugh heartily.
Haojun was drinking white wine, so he poured it into his mouth in one gulp. However, the two young ladies only took a sip and put the glass back.
"Haha, Mr. Leng, your alcohol tolerance is pretty good!”Uncle Liu smiled at Haojun.
For a period of time after that incident, Haojun almost used alcohol to numb himself every day. What was this glass of white wine? However, the Hillman didn't show off. He smiled slightly and picked up his chopsticks. He casually glanced at the table and saw dozens of dishes on it. They were all the legendary royal food, such as phoenix tail shark fin, red plum pearl fragrance, Kung Pao rabbit, auspicious dragon flying in pairs, stir-fried frog, stir-fried pigeon, golden sparrow, Ruyi roll, embroidered ball dry shell, stir-fried pearl chicken, milk fish slices, and so on. It was really sumptuous. On a whim, he couldn't help but say,"Old Master, the chef of this Imperial Dining Hall is really amazing. I didn't expect him to be able to make so many imperial dishes!”
"Oh?" Grandfather Ling was stunned for a moment before he asked in surprise,""What, you have to tell at a glance?”
Haojun found it funny. Uncle Zhang was a famous foodie, and he was also very good at cooking. He could cook all kinds of dishes, but he rarely cooked. He had only learned a little cooking from the old man, but he could be considered a master chef.
Sometimes, Haojun thought that if Uncle Zhang didn't live in seclusion but became a chef, he would be a top chef in the world of chefs in China. Or perhaps, it wouldn't be too much to directly crown him as the God of Cooking.
Of course, Haojun didn't want to reveal too much about Uncle Zhang's gluttony. He said,""I was lucky enough to have a Manchu Han Imperial Feast once. Although I don't remember most of the names, there are quite a few dishes here that I've eaten before. He just didn't know how the taste would compare!”
Ling Xue and Xia Lianyue looked at each other. This Haojun was too good at bragging. When he came, he was still a country bumpkin. Now, he actually dared to say that he had eaten the Manchu Han Imperial Feast? It really made people speechless! It was simply eating a cow without making a draft!
However, Ling Tian smiled with interest," Then you can try it out. Which taste is better, the one you ate last time or the one you ate this time?"”
"Good!" Haojun picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into his mouth. After chewing a few times, he began to comment,""Yes, the taste is still very good. It's a pity that it's summer now and there are no winter bamboo shoots. The taste is slightly different from the last time I ate it. There's a little rabbit smell.”
Grandfather Ling was obviously an expert in eating as well. He nodded and said,""Not bad, you're on point. Then why don't you try this Phoenix-Tail Shark's Fin?”
Haojun picked up some shark fin and tasted it. After a while, he said,"The soup of this dish is clear, tender, and fresh. It can be said to be perfect.”
In order to verify Haojun's words, after Haojun's comments, Grandfather Ling also picked up a little and tried it. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh,""Well said." Then, he let Haojun try two more dishes, and both of them hit the nail on the head. At this time, he couldn't help but give Chao Leng a thumbs up and say,"I thought that in terms of food, there are not many people in the world who know better than me. I didn't expect that at such a young age, you're not inferior to me. Haha, if it wasn't for Xue 'er, this girl, who didn't let me drink, I really wanted to have a few drinks with you.”
"When the old man recovers, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future," said Haojun with a smile.”
Ling Xue's eyes widened. She had suspected that Haojun was pretending to know what he didn't know, but even her grandfather, who was an expert in taste, praised Haojun like this. Only then did she realize that Haojun was indeed not simple.
Xia Lianyue had the same thought, and she couldn't help but become more curious about Haojun.
Halfway through the meal, the old man suddenly thought of something and smiled at Haojun.""By the way, Haojun, Xue 'er said that you were busy in the kitchen last night. Are you working as a part-time chef besides being her bodyguard? Haha…"
Haojun smiled awkwardly. After all, he hadn't done this willingly. He had done it so that Xiao Yun could have more time to study. He didn't know how to answer when he heard Xia Lianyue giggle and say,""Yes, Grandpa Ling, Bodyguard Li's food is delicious. It's much better than the food sent by the hotel in the past.”
"Is that so?" Ling Tian smiled at Hao Jun," It's really hard on you. You are really well-rounded. If that girl marries you in the future, wouldn't she be blessed with good food for the rest of her life?"”Speaking up to this point, he did not know if it was intentional or not, but he actually glanced at his granddaughter.
Ling Xue happened to be listening to her grandfather's conversation. When she saw him looking at her after he finished speaking, her little face instantly blushed. She was as beautiful as a lily under the sun. She was so beautiful that it was suffocating.
In fact, this little girl's appearance was really at the level of a fairy. It was just that the young miss who had been raised since she was young had a bad temper.
Xia Lianyue also noticed that after Grandfather Ling finished speaking, his gaze shifted to Ling Xue. For some reason, she felt very uncomfortable inside, but she didn't show it on her face. She giggled and said,""Yes, Xue 'er, you can test it!”
"What is it?" Ling Xue was embarrassed by her grandfather, but after hearing Xia Lianyue's words, she was both embarrassed and resentful. She did not dare to look at Haojun's face anymore. After glaring at Xia Lianyue, she pursed her lips and said,""Wretched girl, since you like Haojun's cooking so much, you should marry him!”
"Me?" Xia Lianyue blushed and glanced at Haojun. Coincidentally, Haojun was also with her. As soon as their eyes met, Xia Lianyue's heart started to beat wildly. She hurriedly waved her hand and said,""Bodyguard Li, Xue 'er is just joking. Don't do this to me. I…I'm only ten years old this year. I'm not at the age to get married yet.”As the sound of his voice faded, Ling Tian and Uncle Liu burst out laughing.
Haojun broke out in a sweat. He had never thought that he would one day marry these two young ladies. In his heart, he was just a bodyguard. He was not from the right family and did not have any illusions about them. Hearing Xia Lianyue's words, he felt a little embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the topic."By the way, Uncle Liu, the old man doesn't drink. Let me toast you.”
Uncle Liu chuckled. He usually didn't drink much, but Haojun was an important guest in his eyes today, so he drank a little. He raised his glass and drank with Haojun. After only a small sip, his face turned red.
"By the way, Old Liu, how's Little Yun?”Ling Tian said," I told you to call her and ask her to come over for dinner today. Why didn't she come?"”
Uncle Liu said," Oh, I spoke to Xiao Yun on the phone yesterday. I told her about the meal. She said that she was quite nervous about her studies, so she wanted to have more time to revise."”
"I see." Ling Tian let out a sigh before smiling bitterly at Haojun,""Now that Xiao Yun doesn't have to send food to Xue 'er anymore, she can study in peace. However, this child has a strong personality. If we don't let her do anything now, she will feel guilty. In the future, she might not be willing to help her anymore. Haojun, since you've done her a great favor, why don't you visit her often in the future? If she needs anything, try your best to help her. If she needs money, just let me pay for it.”
" Alright," Hao Jun nodded." I understand, Old Master!"”
Ling Xue pouted. Let Haojun take care of Xiaoyun?
Thinking back to how Haojun had lost his temper with her because of Xiao Yun, she felt really uncomfortable. From this, she could tell that Haojun was really good to Xiao Yun. Thinking of this, Miss Ling suddenly felt a little upset. She raised her wine glass and knocked it against Xia Lianyue's wine glass."Xiaojie, let's do it too!"
"Oh!" Actually, Xia Lianyue had the same thoughts as Ling Xue. Moreover, she knew a little inside information that Ling Xue didn't know, which made her even more uncomfortable. She immediately started drinking with Ling Xue to drown her sorrows!
Only after the two ladies had unknowingly drunk a bottle of red wine did Ling Tian and Uncle Liu realize that something was amiss. They looked at each other and heard Ling Tian say,""Xue 'er, Xiaojie, don't drink too much.”
"Grandpa, I'm fine. This little bit of wine is nothing, right, Xiaojie?”Ling Xue started to talk nonsense. Her face was clearly pale from drinking and her words were unclear, but she still pretended to be fine. It was just that others could tell that she was pretending, but she herself could not feel it.
Xia Lianyue's alcohol tolerance was worse than Ling Xue's, but unlike Ling Xue, her face became redder as she drank. She said in a dreamy voice,""Oh! Drink it, I still don't know what it feels like to be drunk. I really want to try it!”
Uncle Liu advised," Miss, Miss Xiaojie, it's better to drink less. It's bad for your health to be drunk!"”
Pouting her lips, Ling Xue said unhappily,""We didn't drink too much. Xiaojie and I only drank one bottle and half a bottle.”
Ling Xue was already a little drunk, so she took Uncle Liu's words as a sign that she couldn't hold her liquor. It offended her self-esteem as a young lady. It should be known that the most infuriating thing for a drunk person was to be told that she was drunk, so she continued,""I, I used to drink two bottles by myself!”
Ling Tian furrowed his brows. This precious granddaughter of his was not someone who liked to drink, so why did her personality suddenly change? Thinking of this, he glanced at Haojun and seemed to have understood something. He shook his head and didn't say anything.
" Brother Haojun, there's a call."
Before the banquet ended, Haojun's phone rang. He was worried about Ji Yongli's safety, so he brought the phone that Ji Yongli gave him with him. The phone suddenly rang, which made him a little embarrassed because everyone at the table was looking at him. He couldn't help but blush and say,"I'm sorry. You guys eat first. I have to take a call.”She stood up and walked to the balcony.
"Hehe, Mr. Leng's ringtone is very interesting!”Uncle Liu teased.
Ling Xue and Xia Lianyue looked at each other with a tacit understanding. They felt a little uncomfortable and drank two more glasses!
On the balcony, Haojun answered the call and asked directly,""Yurou, what happened? Is that person downstairs again?”
"Ah?" Ji Yongli seemed to be stunned for a moment, then she smiled cutely and said,"Brother Haojun, that's not it. Yurou missed Haojun so she called him. Hmm, is Brother Haojun busy?”
Haojun heaved a sigh of relief. He felt a little gentle in his heart. He had no siblings since he was young. To be called brother by a gentle and cute super beautiful girl like Ji Yongli, it really made him gradually feel like he was her brother. He chuckled and said,"Yes, I'm eating. Why don't I call you when I get back?”
"I see. Alright then." "I'll wait for Brother Haojun," Ji Yongli said sweetly. Oh, right, Brother Haojun, when are you free? Come to my house. I have something for you.”
"Hmm?" Haojun was a little embarrassed. He smiled bitterly and said,""Are you giving Brother Haojun something again? I don't think that's a good idea. Last time, you gave me such an expensive phone. Brother Haojun was a little embarrassed.”
" Brother Haojun," Ji Yongli said," this thing isn't worth much. It's my own idea." When Brother Haojun comes back, can you come to my place directly? Why don't Brother Haojun tell me where you live and I'll give it to you?”
"Ugh!" Haojun rubbed his nose helplessly." Then I'll come to your house when I have time." I'll call you when the time comes!"
"Okay, goodbye, Brother Haojun!”
"Goodbye, Yurou!
When Haojun returned to his seat, he noticed Ling Xue giving him a resentful look. He suddenly felt something in his heart. It was said that a woman who had drunk alcohol would easily arouse a man's lust, not to mention a rare beauty like Ling Xue.
Haojun was a man, so he was no exception. He was stunned for a moment and thought, Why does this girl look jealous?
However, was that even possible?
Haojun smiled bitterly. He didn't believe that Ling Xue would like him. She had always hated him. Although her attitude towards him had changed a little since last night and seemed to have become gentler, Haojun still thought that Miss Ling hated him.
However, he didn't take it to heart. So what if she hated him? He didn't need her to like him anyway…
After the banquet, Grandfather Ling asked Uncle Liu to give Haojun a card with 100,000 yuan in it. Uncle Liu smiled and said,""Tell me if it's not enough." Haojun accepted it without hesitation because he knew that it was not irrational to be polite to the old man. Besides, he was really poor now. It would be a waste not to accept it.
On the way back to Yujing Garden, Haojun drove his car seriously. Although he had drunk a little, it was nothing to him. However, Ling Xue and Xia Lianyue, who were sitting in the back seat, started to talk nonsense.
"Oh!" Xia Lianyue said. Xue 'er, why do you think some people are so fickle?”
"Huh?" Ling Xue asked. Who are you talking about?"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course it's your bodyguard Li, hehe!”
Ling Xue pouted and said,""Oh, then you can ask him yourself. How would I know if you ask me? I'm not a worm in his stomach.”
The conversation between the two young ladies was very soft, so soft that only the two of them could hear it. However, it was enough for a normal person to hear it. Moreover, Haojun's hearing was much stronger than that of ordinary people, so it was natural that he could hear it.
Haojun felt both angry and amused. Were these two girls really drunk?
Yes, there was a saying that a drunk man speaks the truth. I wonder if Haojun has thought of this?
Even if he thought of it, he probably wouldn't think too deeply about it. After all, in his heart, these two young ladies were not someone he could climb up to.
"Alright then, I'll ask." Xia Lianyue raised her voice and said to Haojun,""Ai, Bodyguard Li, Xue 'er asked me to ask you, who do you like? Was it Zhou Li? Or Ji Yongli or Xiao Yun?"
Haojun broke into a sweat. What was going on? Towards Xiao Yun, he was purely sympathetic towards her. As for Ji Yongli, it was probably the kind of relationship that was close to kinship. As for Zhou Li, it was undeniable that she was indeed somewhat attractive to him. Moreover, when he came, Zhou Li's family background was not that good. If this girl was really willing to be his girlfriend, then he did not mind being with her. After all, the past was already in the past, and it was impossible to redeem it. It was also a relationship that should be tried. Perhaps he could forget the unhappiness in the past earlier…
Although Ling Xue was drunk, she was still clear-headed. Hearing Xia Lianyue's words, she was instantly enraged. She showed her Miss's temper and said angrily,""I say, Xiaojie, you clearly wanted to know. Why did you say that I asked you to ask? I don't like him!"
"Oh!" " I don't like him either," Xia Lianyue said with a smile." Then why should I ask?"”
"Then don't ask!" Ling Xue said as she got a bump.”
Xia Lianyue pursed her lips and didn't say anything. After a while, she couldn't help but say to Haojun,""Bodyguard Li, I've already asked you just now. You heard it too. Why didn't you answer?”
"Answer what?" Haojun asked without turning his head.”
" I mean, Zhou Li, Ji Yongli, and Xiao Yun, who do you like?" Xia Lianyue asked.”
Haojun was really embarrassed by the question. Helplessly, he deliberately asked in a teasing manner,""Why? Is it important to you who I like?”
Xia Lianyue paused for a moment and her face turned red. She giggled and said,""Xue 'er and I are just trying to help you. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. What's so great about it!"
Haojun smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.
Ling Xue had stayed up late, so she was very sleepy. She said," Wake me up when you get home " and fell asleep leaning on Xia Lianyue's shoulder. Xia Lianyue was bored and a little drunk, so she soon fell asleep with Ling Xue snuggling up to her.
Haojun parked the car in the small garden of Ling Xue's villa. Through the rearview mirror, he glanced at the two young ladies who had fallen asleep while cuddling each other. He shook his head slightly and got out of the car first. He opened the door of the back seat and said,""We're here. ()”
"Oh! Have we arrived?" Xia Lianyue narrowed her eyes and looked at Haojun in a daze. She then turned to Ling Xue and said,""Xue 'er, we're home." Why are you still sleeping?"
" Mm..." Ling Xue replied as if she was in a dream. She did not open her eyes and leaned towards Haojun. Seeing this, Haojun quickly reached out to hold her shoulder.
"Bodyguard Li, why don't you carry Xue 'er up? She's really drunk!”Xia Lianyue rubbed her forehead and said. Before this, she would only take a small sip while Ling Xue took a big gulp. There were almost two bottles of red wine, and one and a half bottles were drunk by Ling Xue alone, so Xia Lianyue was still relatively clear-headed.
Hao Jun was a little embarrassed. He called out twice, but Ling Xue did not respond. He had no choice but to carry Ling Xue out by the waist. Then, he grabbed one of her slender hands and placed it on his shoulder. He squatted down slightly, and Ling Xue's body leaned on his back.
As soon as she entered the villa, Ling Xue's phone suddenly vibrated. Because there was no ringtone, Haojun did not know. However, Ling Xue was woken up by the vibration and found that she was carried on Haojun's back. Haojun's hands were holding his thighs. He smelled the unique masculine scent on his body and his face immediately turned red. He was so embarrassed that he did not know what to do. This was the first time in her life that she had been carried by a non-relative of the opposite sex. She didn't dare to take her phone. She closed her eyes and let Haojun carry her upstairs with a red face.
After they went upstairs, Haojun gently put Ling Xue on the bed and gently covered her with the blanket. He inadvertently glanced at the beautiful face of this young lady and felt a little strange. He only felt that when Miss Ling was quiet, she was so beautiful that it was suffocating. Because of this, he only took a glance and quickly looked away. After all, she was the young lady and not someone he could reach!
With a smile, Haojun turned around and left quietly.
Ling Xue's heart was beating wildly. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Haojun's departing figure. She felt a little sweet in her heart. She felt that although Haojun usually ignored her, he was actually a very gentle person. Come on, she didn't understand him and made him hate her. Thinking of this, Miss Ling secretly blamed herself...
When Haojun went downstairs, he found Xia Lianyue lying on the sofa with her slender and fair legs hooked together. She was supporting her chin with one hand and watching an animated film.
"Oh, Bodyguard Li, you're here!”After seeing Haojun, Xia Lianyue immediately smiled and said,""Come over and watch TV with me."
Hao Jun broke out in a cold sweat. Did this girl really think that he was a professional television escort? "Aren't you going to rest for a while?" he asked with a bitter smile.”
"Rest later," Xia Lianyue said.”
Haojun had no choice but to accompany this girl on TV. Who asked her to have something on him?
Seeing Haojun come over, Xia Lianyue sat up and cleared a seat for him!
"Bodyguard Li, I'm sleepy!" After watching the television, Xia Lianyue became sleepy. *
"If you're sleepy, go to sleep." Hao Jun smiled helplessly.
"I'll sleep here. Lend me your shoulder!”She didn't care whether Haojun agreed or not. She leaned her head on Haojun's shoulder and closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep. However, there was a strange smile on her face.
Haojun was really depressed. Was this considered seducing him?
He turned his head and glanced at Xia Lianyue. He noticed that she had a strange smile on her face, and her eyes didn't seem to be completely closed. She didn't look like she was sleeping at all. He couldn't help but tease her, so he deliberately moved his face closer to her.
"Hmm?" Indeed, Xia Lianyue didn't close her eyes completely. When she saw Haojun approaching her, she thought that he was going to kiss her. She blushed and her heart began to pound. She widened her eyes and said shyly,""Bodyguard Li, what, what do you want?”
Haojun reached out with a smile and found a strand of hair on Xia Lianyue's nose. He took it away and blew it gently into his mouth. The strand of hair flew out and twisted in the air before landing on the ground."Nothing. I saw a strand of hair on your face and wanted to help you remove it. Hmm? Why is your face red?"
Xia Lianyue felt a little regretful for no reason. She chuckled and said,""Oh! I see. When I'm drunk, it's natural for me to blush. Don't you know?”
"Is that so?" "I thought you were shy."”
"I'm shy?" "Why should I be shy?" Xia Lianyue asked curiously.”
"Didn't you think I was going to kiss you just now?" Haojun laughed.”
Xia Lianyue's face turned even redder after her thoughts were exposed. She giggled and said,""Heh, that's not true. Why should I be afraid?"
"I don't dare?" Haojun was really depressed. He had only come here to tease Xia Lianyue. Who asked this little girl to let him accompany her in the cartoon? This was too much. But now that she had given him such a blow, he was sweating profusely. What? Did he not think of himself as a man anymore? He actually dared to say that he didn't dare? "Do you really think so?"”
Xia Lianyue was a little scared by Haojun's attitude, but she still kept a smile on her face and said,""Yes, you dare?"
" Why wouldn't I dare?" Hao Jun smiled evilly." I'll kiss you right now."”As he spoke, he cupped Xia Lianyue's cheeks with both hands. It felt very good to the touch, smooth and tender. Before Xia Lianyue could react, he moved his face closer.
Xia Lianyue was so nervous that she gripped the surface of the sofa tightly, but she refused to budge. She kept smiling at Haojun as if saying,'Hmph, don't think you can scare me!'
When Haojun's lips were less than an inch away from her cherry lips, Xia Lianyue could already feel the heat from Haojun's breath. At this moment, her heart was about to jump into her throat. She couldn't help but close her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She was really charming!
Seeing this, Haojun was stunned. This girl was really going against him. But if he retreated now, wouldn't she laugh at him for not being a man in the future?
Thinking of this, he really couldn't be better!
