I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Is anyone 123 years old?"

After Luo Li'er left "melancholy", someone followed suit and asked questions again.

This isn't a game of "Red Light, Green Light".

His question was cunning and tricky.

According to the existing database of human civilization, the longest-lived person is only 122 years old.

If Duanmu Liuli nods, then it proves that physics doesn't exist... oops, it should be that the database of human civilization is wrong.

Or.

It's fake, isn't it?

When Luo Li'er left, she was filled with curiosity, regret, and a slight sense of defeat, while Comrade Jiang Chen was never lacking in confidence.

He believed that his relationship with the Taoist nun was definitely "closer" than his relationship with Luo Li'er.

So the Taoist nun keeping it a secret from that girl doesn't mean she'll keep it from him.

As it turned out, he was overthinking things.

"do not know."

The beautiful Taoist nuns are treated equally.

At least in her eyes, there was no difference between that person and Luo Li'er.

Knowing this would probably make Luo Li'er feel a little better.

"These snacks were bought for Shurui by someone else."

Mr. Jiang gave a reminder.

Duanmu Liuli ignored her completely, acting as if she were a stranger, and continued to take out a bag of biscuits from the bag, saying matter-of-factly, "She doesn't like snacks."

Jiang Chen was amused.

Li Shurui wasn't really interested in food. Women are supposed to be concerned about their figure, but just because someone doesn't like a certain food doesn't mean you can take it for yourself.

Or perhaps the Taoist nun knew in her heart that Luo Li'er had come for her today.

Seriously.

Nowadays, Jiang Chen dares not underestimate his cunning.

Give me some.

He shifted his buttocks closer to the other person, and at the same time, he stretched out his hand.

This time, Duanmu Liuli was very generous. She tore open the packaging and handed him a chocolate cream biscuit.

"Click".

Jiang Chen took a bite of the biscuit, chewed it, and suddenly asked, "How is the old Taoist priest's health?"

"Ah."

The nun indeed did not become wary.

Jiang Chen nodded and exclaimed, "The old Taoist priest is truly a divine figure. At such an advanced age, he still has piercing eyes, is full of energy, and has a radiant complexion. Look at the elderly people down the mountain; most of them are in their seventies or eighties and can barely walk."

Duanmu Liuli focused intently on eating her biscuits, chewing slowly and gracefully, without offering any comment.

"When is the old Taoist priest's birthday? You must let me know. I've caused him a lot of trouble, so I must go and wish him a long and healthy life."

Jiang Chen held a cookie in his hand, staring intently at the giant screen television, his expression sincere.

Duanmu Liuli immediately turned her head away.

ah~
Although it has received some training, the little white rabbit is still a little white rabbit; it is too naive and, in terms of cunning, it can't compare to the big bad wolf down in the mountains.

"what happened?"

Someone turned their head in confusion and met the gaze of the stunningly beautiful Taoist nun who was suddenly looking at them. Her eyes and the way the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were relaxed were perfectly natural, without a trace of acting.

"You can't say that."

The Taoist nun was equally serious, her holy face filled with an aura of solemnity.

"Huh? Why can't we say that?"

Mr. Jiang was astonished; the imitation was so lifelike, it was the pinnacle of skill.

You can wish your master boundless blessings.

The Taoist nun is really too cute, especially now that she looks so serious. Her majestic appearance makes people want to bow down and worship her, but Boss Jiang can't help but want to pinch her cheeks.

of course.

Reason prevailed over impulse.

Most of the time, the Taoist nun is harmless, but that doesn't mean she's truly harmless.

Someone has experienced this firsthand; they shot someone with a toy gun and ended up with a chest pain for days.

"Aren't they the same? Living to a hundred years old and having boundless blessings are almost the same."

Ok.

As a graduate of a prestigious university, Mr. Jiang's educational level is reliable. "May you live to be a hundred years old and enjoy boundless blessings" in normal contexts represent a beautiful wish, wishing others long-lasting happiness and good health.

but.

but.

Let's consider a scenario.

What if someone is about to turn 100, or has already turned 100?

May they live to be a hundred years old?

The meaning was instantly overturned.

The blessing turned into a vicious curse.

That's right.

"Living a long and healthy life" and "dying a terrible death" seem to be completely opposite, but sometimes they are almost the same and can be understood in a comprehensive way.

This is the "Tao".
So, seemingly sensing someone's "spiritual root," the Taoist nun took a bite of her biscuit and fell silent in the face of the "blinking, bright" eyes.

Too many words will be lost.

Even if others realize what's happening and stop "revealing secrets," the shrewd and resourceful person has undoubtedly already obtained the answer.

—At least part of the answer.

That old man is probably beyond saving at 100 years old.

Not surprising.

Living to 100 is not considered extraordinary in this era, but I wonder if anyone lives to 123?
"Click".

He stuffed the chocolate cream biscuit into his mouth in one go and didn't try to get any more information out of him. After all, Boss Jiang still had a conscience.

He clapped his hands. "I'm going out for a walk."

Duanmu Liuli ignored him until he disappeared from her sight and she guessed he had reached the door. She put down the biscuits in her hand and let out a soft breath.

"call--"

A cold breeze brushed against my face.

The sudden and dramatic temperature difference made people feel "refreshed".

As he walked out the door, Boss Jiang rubbed his face. He didn't drive, but followed Luo Li'er's footsteps, strolling leisurely to the entrance of the white villa.

Yang Ni's custom-made F12 is no longer available.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."

Although reciprocity is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation.

But he "came" to me way too quickly.

and.

What about a return gift?
The door opened.

As the face gradually came into view through the widening crack in the door, Boss Jiang muttered, "No respect for elders, how could I let you open the door?"

Pei Yunxi sensed something amiss.

"Are you looking for Li'er? She's not here."

not there?

Which house did that girl visit this time?

Where did she go? Hasn't she come back?

As they were talking, someone naturally entered the room. Pei Yunxi didn't stop him and even made way for him.

What does "didn't come back" mean?

Jiang Chen, who had just entered the room, turned around, looking surprised. "Huh?"

Pei Yunxi closed the door and looked him in the eye. "She should be at the company now."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. "How could that be? She just left my place."

Pei Yunxi remained silent.

Jiang Chen's expression shifted. "You mean, that girl didn't tell you?"

They remained silent.

"She also brought several large bags of snacks, saying it was to thank Shurui for bringing her back a couple of days ago."

She said she went to work.

……All right.

Jiang Chen was both amused and exasperated. He suddenly remembered that he used to lie to his parents and say he was going to the Xinhua Bookstore to read books, but in reality, he and Fu Zili and the others would sneak into an internet cafe to play games.

Because of what he had been through, he felt somewhat... apologetic at that moment.

"She should be at work now."

Mr. Jiang still has empathy; when he realized he had accidentally cheated someone, he immediately tried to make amends.

"What is she going to do at your place?"

Pei Yunxi asked.

The person who had explained upon entering the room composed himself and asked seriously, "That girl was just talking about things like destiny, fate, and immortality, which are all nonsense. What did you two talk about last night?"

He touched her, not for the purpose of having an affair—oops, he subconsciously believed that Luo Li'er had returned.

"This is a serious matter. Be careful that this girl doesn't become addicted to it and develop mental problems." This is not an exaggeration.

Many great scientists went mad in their later years.

If even the most advanced human brains are like this, what about normal people?

Some things are better left unseen, and even less so unintentionally investigated.

Are you blaming me?

Pei Yunxi said calmly, "Are you blaming me for the way I discipline my sister?"

"Is this what you call education? Even if it wasn't you who said it, but Yang Ni, you should have stopped her. Isn't this what you've always done? Keeping her from knowing those messy things, trying to keep her living a carefree and innocent life, why suddenly..."

"What do you think?"

Pei Yunxi interrupted.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment.

Pei Yunxi turned around and walked inside, passing by him.

After standing in place for a while as punishment, Jiang Chen turned around and followed, still unable to figure out the reason.

"Why? Because she's graduated and entered the workforce, so she should understand these dangers?"

Pei Yunxi didn't respond, but instead picked up a coat and a large fisherman's hat from the sofa.

Are you planning to go out?

"Where are you going?"

Someone asked instinctively.

With her coat draped over her arm, Pei Yunxi turned around, holding her fisherman's hat, and asked, "Which question do you want to ask?"

Can't I ask both?
"you answer me first."

Jiang Chen blocked their way.

Pei Yunxi held her clothes and hat, and quietly looked at him.

Without any shame, someone actually challenged another person to a contest of who could blink first.

"If she doesn't understand these things, she can't fully know how important your existence is."

Pei Yunxi's tone was not heavy, but gentle and mild. However, to someone's ears, it was like a morning bell and a tidal wave, instantly enlightening them.

"...You mean, it's to maintain my image in her eyes? Or rather, it's to make her more accepting of me?"

Not stupid.

However, it is clearly a bit slow.

They actually had to say it themselves.

However, we can't entirely blame Mr. Jiang.

Who could imagine that someone as aloof as her could be so thoughtful and painstaking?

“I’m doing this for myself. I can’t face my family if you can’t be psychologically accepted.”

Pei Yunxi continued to elaborate on her "coldness".

Jiang Chen, suddenly realizing what was happening, remained silent.

No wonder that girl took the initiative to come to his door today, and she didn't show any rejection or resistance towards him. They got along quite easily.

It turned out to be the case.

The hardest thing to bear is the favor of a beautiful woman.

The man's momentum had greatly diminished; his lips moved, but he hesitated to speak.

Pei Yunxi seemed completely unconcerned, not needing his apology or gratitude. "Is there anything else?"

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

In fact, despite being adored by everyone, she has a very unconventional personality. While others talk the talk but don't walk the walk, she does the walk without talking.

She doesn't look like a woman at all; she looks more like a man.

Knowing her personality, there's no need to say anything "mushy".

"Where are you going in this cold weather?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the clothes and hat in her hand.

Yes.

He just asked two questions.

This is the second one.

Do I need to tell you?

This is not a question!

It is a question.

A single word makes all the difference.

Questioning is mockery and contempt, while inquiring is seeking the other party's opinion.

From a professional standpoint, he hasn't terminated his contract with CX Entertainment and is the boss; from a personal standpoint, she's his woman, so Boss Jiang is fully entitled to show concern—that's only natural. But unlike some incompetent guy who acts like an emperor at home, Boss Jiang has always maintained full respect for women, a principle that has remained unchanged from the past to the present and will likely continue to be so in the future.

So he replied, "You don't have to say if you don't want to."

That's what you call reciprocity.

wrong.

We should put ourselves in each other's shoes.

People are more considerate of him?

Pei Yunxi didn't just leave him behind in a cool and collected manner. That's how the character and script should have gone, but life isn't a movie.

Do you want to know?

After staring at him quietly for a while, Pei Yunxi asked incredulously.

Ok.

It's not entirely unbelievable.

They've already started guiding their younger sister's mindset. What does that mean?
This means that she has completely accepted the relationship, that is, accepted the person.

It is aloof and unapproachable to strangers, but this is only true for outsiders.

Who would act like a block of ice in front of their own man?

Mr. Jiang wasn't shy at all; upon hearing this, he immediately nodded, "Yes, I'd like to know."

Please.

Can't you be a little tougher?

You must know that in Luo Li'er's heart, he was an unparalleled power who supported her cousin and protected her from demons and monsters.

Ugh.

He still can't shake his sycophantic habit.

"You really want to know?"

Pei Yunxi continued to confirm, completely baffled.

Jiang Chen instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

The other person is not a fussy or hesitant person, nor will they be long-winded or indecisive.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Reason told him that there was a trap ahead and he should stop in time to avoid falling into it. But if reason could always take the lead, then man would not be man, but a god.

Is Boss Jiang a god?
Obviously not.

He's not even 30, let alone 123 years old.

Where are you going?

Even though he knew it might be a trap or dangerous, he still asked.

Things shouldn't happen more than three times.

Pei Yunxi didn't give him another chance. "Traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy."

"pharmacy?"

Jiang Chen was surprised, immediately ignoring the alarm bells ringing in his mind, and asked, "Are you sick?"

This spontaneous concern, like the warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers, cannot be faked.

That classically beautiful face was neither too deep nor too shallow.

"No."

"Where do you feel unwell?"

Jiang Chen's brows did not completely relax, and he blurted out again.

"No."

???

If I'm not sick and don't feel unwell, why should I go to a pharmacy?
"Is Li'er not feeling well?"

Jiang Chen guessed and doubted, but then he remembered how energetic the girl had been just now, even eating several red bean buns.

If you're not feeling well, how can your appetite be so good?
"I want to see a doctor and get some treatment."

Pei Yunxi stopped teasing... no, she stopped keeping everyone in suspense.

Treatment?

Jiang Chen was a little confused. He couldn't help but look the other person's exquisitely beautiful body up and down, and subconsciously asked, "What kind of conditioning?"

"What do you mean by 'treat'?"

Eyes facing each other.

Mr. Jiang's bewildered gaze gradually straightened, and then became blank.

Pei Yunxi raised her hand and put on her hat. Such a simple action, when performed by her, was mesmerizing.

In any case, Boss Jiang was completely distracted and lost his composure.

"Make way." (End of Chapter)
