3: Chapter 3: Things That Please the Mind and Body 3: Chapter 3: Things That Please the Mind and Body His encounter with Xue Bing was just a brief episode.
Lu Tianxing slowly made his way back home.
He sniffed the sweat on his body and frowned slightly, casually closing the door behind him as he entered the bathroom next door.
After taking off his clothes, he casually threw them into the washing machine nearby.
His bronze skin was now exposed, and although it lacked explosive muscles, it still exuded an aesthetic appeal, as if sculpted with great care by an artist, flawless and perfect, giving off the impression “slim in clothes, strong when bare.”
However, perfection is not without its flaws.
On his heart was a circular hole, as if someone had stabbed him with a sharp tool, nearly costing him his life.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing looked at himself in the mirror, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
If it hadn’t been for his brother taking that fatal bullet for him all those years ago, perhaps he would have been dead by now.
It was his brother who had saved his life with his own.
“Houzi, Shanzi, I’ve avenged you guys.
Rest assured, everyone who betrayed us back then is dead, I killed them, and I’ve placed their heads in front of your graves, constantly repenting to you.”
Lu Tianxing murmured softly, his fist forcefully hitting the bathroom wall, his face showing a trace of pain.
That was the last scene of his military career, after which he transformed from a soldier into a mercenary, and eventually became the revered figure known as Judge.
“Houzi, Shanzi, are you guys doing okay over there?”
Lu Tianxing’s voice was hoarse, as past memories played like a movie in his mind, vividly clear.
We’ve walked into an ambush.
Someone has betrayed us, they want us all dead here.”
My life was saved by you, now I’m just returning it to you.
Boss, I can no longer fight alongside you.”
Just then, the sound of a door opening suddenly came from outside, followed by a crisp, silver-bell-like voice in the room: “Brother Lu, are you back?”
“I’m back, Tingting, wait for me, I’ll be right out,” Lu Tianxing’s train of thought was interrupted by the sound of the knock.
Casually wiping off the sweat from his body, Lu Tianxing casually picked up a towel and wrapped it around his waist, then walked out of the bathroom.
He was immediately captivated by the silhouette of a girl standing in the room.
She was a very pretty girl with long, black shiny hair casually draped over her shoulders, delicate arched eyebrows like crescent moons, a high nose bridge, and a waist as slender as a willow branch, swaying as if with the breeze, making one involuntarily worry it might suddenly snap.
She was an extremely beautiful girl, the kind that stirred the deepest protective instincts within the heart.
She stood there shyly, yet she exuded gentleness and a demure charm, as if she were the girl next door, bringing a youthful and beautiful vibe.
Moreover, although she was almost a college graduate, Yue Tingting still had a youthful face, although she dressed very stylishly, she still looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old.
Coupled with her figure, which competed with anyone’s, it inevitably led to fanciful thoughts.
“Tingting, what brings you to Brother Lu’s place today?
Didn’t you say you were about to graduate and needed to look for a job?”
Upon seeing the girl, a faint smile immediately appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face.
Yue Tingting gently shook her head, like a shy little kitten, gently lifting her head to glance at Lu Tianxing.
Upon seeing his robust physique, a flush of red quickly spread over her pretty face, even her ears turned red.
Brother Lu, could you please put on some clothes first?”
Looking at Yue Tingting, who was lowering her head and fiddling with the edge of her clothes, Lu Tianxing chuckled and said, “Yo, my beautiful Tingting is shy!
But what’s there to be afraid of?
Haven’t you seen it all before?
Don’t you think Brother Lu’s physique is superb?”
Hearing this, recollections of Lu Tianxing’s muscular build involuntarily flashed through Yue Tingting’s mind, her face turning even redder, somewhat stutteringly she said: “Brother…
Brother Lu, you’re teasing me again.
if you keep this up, I won’t talk to you anymore, no, I’ll have to give you a good beating.”
Saying this, Yue Tingting swung her little fists in front of Lu Tianxing twice, without any real threat, mostly just acting coquettishly.
Seeing this, Lu Tianxing pretended to be scared and said, “Don’t hit me, heroine Tingting, don’t hit me, I’m going to change right now.”
Saying that, Lu Tianxing headed towards the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Yue Tingting quietly lifted her head and, like a thief, her gaze fell on Lu Tianxing’s body, her eyes carrying an imperceptible affection, as if returning to that day long ago, when a figure had stood beside her, shielding her from the wind and rain.
It wasn’t long before Lu Tianxing emerged from the bedroom in a set of cool clothes, glanced at Yue Tingting who was sitting on the sofa lost in thought, and said, “Tingting, did you come over for something today?”
Yue Tingting lifted her head and said softly, “Brother Lu, have you forgotten?
Today’s your birthday.
I wanted to treat you to a meal.
I know I don’t have much money, but I’ve cooked your favorite dishes myself.”
