Xu Qianyun found his days getting tougher and tougher.
Since last weekend, every time he stayed overnight at Palm Pavilion, he would be dragged into the training room for a tough sparring session. What’s worse, the confidence he had hard-earned from Su Xiaochi was shattered to pieces.
The kind you can’t even pick up from the floor.
"This is impossible!"
During a break, Qu Junfeng couldn’t believe what his buddy was complaining about.
"Is there any woman out there more like Domineering Flower than Sister Chi? I could believe if you said they were evenly matched, but..."
But to say that Tang Shu’s skills are more mysterious than Su Xiaochi’s, doesn’t that sound incredibly terrifying!
"I’m not saying that Sister Tang isn’t formidable. Every time I cross paths with her, I feel like her presence is so overwhelming it leaves me breathless. But to be even more powerful than Sister Chi, is there anyone in the world who could beat her?"
This is indeed a truly terrifying piece of news.
Xu Qianyun, expressionless, rolled up his sleeves to reveal the new bruises from last night, "What do you think?"
Qu Junfeng shivered suddenly, "Half a year ago, you could dodge Sister Chi’s fierce attacks and last over 50 moves under her. Wait... how many moves did you last last night?"
"The third move," Xu Qianyun said dishearteningly.
He thought he’d become a mountain after climbing over one, never expecting to encounter even taller mountains ahead!
"I think it’s unscientific. Her speed is unbelievably faster than Sister Chi."
"Come with me to Palm Pavilion for dinner tonight."
Qu Junfeng felt he might have befriended a fake friend. This wasn’t about freeloading a meal; it was a death sentence.
Xu Qianyun tempted him, "Don’t you want to see if my sister can dodge our combined attack?"
He was really curious to know.
After finishing a theater performance, Tang Shu returned to Palm Pavilion and took off the woolen coat she wore.
"Tiantian, make more for dinner."
"No problem. Boss, have you been eating too much lately?"
Yang Tiantian hung her clothes at the entrance while sizing up Tang Shu, but to her disappointment, she couldn’t discern anything. At least, her boss’s figure was as impeccable as ever.
"It’s weird. You’ve been eating so much lately. How come you haven’t gained any weight?"
Tang Shu replied as such, her phone vibrated shortly after, she picked it up and paused, "We have to double the dinner tonight, Qianyun and his classmate are coming."
"I’ll go cook, luckily I went on a big grocery haul yesterday."
Ever since Xu Qianyun started freeloading meals at Palm Pavilion intermittently, the little assistant’s menu of vegetables and fruits had doubled, as did rice and pasta.
How does that saying go again? A grown boy can eat his father into bankruptcy; it’s a crude but true saying.
At 6:30 PM, when the two high school boys pushed open the villa’s door, the first thing they met was Tang Shu’s meaningful gaze.
Qu Junfeng shivered violently, sneakily whispering into the ear of the person next to him, "Why do I feel like a mouse that’s been spotted by a cat?"
Chills down his spine, his body covered in cold sweat.
God damn, a mouse spotted by a cat! You’re the mouse!
"What are you standing at the door for? Come in and eat."
