Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"What's wrong? Afraid to bite?"

Xu Huanhuan deliberately moved closer, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents, and her warm breath brushed against Yang Xian's face.

"Or... do you actually really want to bite, but are a little embarrassed?"

The posture, the distance, the ambiguous atmosphere.

Which hot-blooded man could withstand that?!

Yang Xian felt his heart skip a beat.

But when he thought of the women at home who were already giving him enough headaches, he forcibly suppressed the inexplicable restlessness in his heart.

No, I can't afford to get into any more romantic entanglements!

"this……!"

Yang Xian coughed lightly: "How about this, I'll feed you."

But before he could raise his hand, Xu Huanhuan's soft little hand pressed it down.

"Ugh (↗↘)! No way!"

"I want you to bite me!"

The girl shook her head, held the fry in her mouth, and fed the other end directly to Yang Xian's mouth.

Her tone carried an air of undeniable arrogance.

This is utterly shameless!

Yang Xian helplessly turned his head away, dodging the French fry that was so close at hand: "Don't make jokes like that again, it's easy for people to misunderstand..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Xu Huanhuan chuckle softly.

"Oh? Are you blushing?"

"You're the kind of person who dares to wear a maid outfit, you shouldn't be ashamed of it, right?"

They brought up the maid outfit again!

Yang Xian felt his temples throbbing:

"Don't mention that again!"

"You want to play, huh? Fine, then I'll bite you!"

Finally, Yang Xian cautiously leaned over and took a bite from the other end of the fries.

However, just as his lips were about to touch the fries...

Xu Huanhuan's delicate little face suddenly leaned forward.

A warm, soft touch instantly covered Yang Xian's lips.

"Hmm!"

Yang Xian's eyes widened instantly, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, two slender yet strong arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him down.

The girl's kiss, which started as a light touch, became bold and passionate.

The air was filled with the salty aroma of fried chicken and fries, but now it was mixed with a hint of the girl's unique body fragrance.

Yang Xian struggled for a moment before finally managing to break free from that soft embrace.

He looked at the blushing girl in front of him and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Yang Xian.

Xu Huanhuan licked her lips, revealing a satisfied smile. "Was my first kiss delicious? It was fries flavored!"

"Didn't you take off your mask?" Yang Xian stared into her eyes.

"Now that you've taken off your mask, why did you still... follow the Xu family's arrangements and try to get close to me?"

In his view, Xu Huanhuan taking off her mask meant that she wanted to break free from the control of the Xu family and live her own life.

But her current behavior seems to be carrying out that absurd "marriage mission".

This is contradictory.

Hearing these words, Xu Huanhuan held up one finger and gently shook it:

"First of all, I just came out for some fresh air; I didn't say I wasn't going back to the Xu family!"

"Secondly, she's not on a mission right now; she's just pursuing her other half as an ordinary girl."

"Everyone has the right to pursue happiness and the person they love, doesn't they?"

"Me, Xu Huanhuan, is no exception!"

Only now does the girl truly understand.

She didn't want to be herself, not because she hated the white-haired illegitimate daughter, but because the person she used to be was never cared about or paid attention to.

But it's different now.

The man in front of her didn't like seeing her pretending to be someone else; he wanted to see her most authentic self.

This is enough.

This gave her a reason to drop the pretense.

One reason that can legitimately free one from the constraints of the identity of "genius Xu Huanhuan".

"So..." Yang Xian rubbed his temples, looking a bit of a headache, "Were you serious about 'officially dating' before?"

"Of course!" Xu Huanhuan nodded without hesitation. "The real me will only speak the truth!"

I hope so!

Yang Xian silently complained to himself.

However, it seems that it's enough that she can tell herself the truth.

He gathered his thoughts and decided to make things clear.

"I fully respect your choice, but..."

"I already have enough women around me; I can't give you much of what you want!"

"Therefore, I should also have the right to refuse!"

"I understand, I understand!" Xu Huanhuan surprisingly did not refute, but instead nodded understandingly.

"But later..."

She leaned close to Yang Xian's ear again and spoke, word by word, in an almost defiant tone.

Please make sure you are mentally prepared!

"Because next, I will use every means to make you fall completely in love with me!"

Yang Xian was stunned.

He didn't expect that his clear refusal would be met with an even more direct "declaration of war" from Xu Huanhuan.

This girl just started clinging to him!

The good news is that it seems like someone has genuinely fallen for me again.

The bad news is that things are probably not going to be peaceful from now on...

At this moment, Yang Xian once again felt an urgent need to improve his strength as soon as possible and restore his authority as a husband!

Otherwise, their position in the family will be in grave danger!

But to achieve this, one would need to cultivate to the sixth or seventh level of strength, right?

A long way to go!

Yang Xian looked at the spirited young girl in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"Do as you please. At least you're much cuter now than when you were wearing the mask."

However, it was this somewhat awkward sentence that made Xu Huanhuan's heart skip a beat.

"I never expected you to say something so touching sometimes!"

"What?"

"It's nothing!" Xu Huanhuan immediately straightened her back and resumed her playful demeanor.

Are you free this weekend? I'd like to invite you out for dinner.

Yang Xian waved his hand: "It might not work this weekend, I have plans..."

------

Chengwu University, behind the mountain.

Principal Huang used his immense mental power to "stare" at the two people flirting on a tree branch in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

"So fast? You've taken down another one?"

He muttered to himself, then turned his gaze to the blue-haired girl who was diligently practicing her skills not far away.

This can't go on!

If Yang Xian doesn't seize the opportunity soon, when will he be able to spark a romance with Bai Chuyi?

No, I have to think of a way to get this good student to take the initiative!

"Xiao Chen!" Principal Huang said to Assistant Chen, who was standing to the side, after making up his mind.

"Principal, what are your instructions?"

Huang Meng's tone changed:

"There's something very important that needs to be addressed!"

"It concerns my student's lifelong happiness, so I need your advice..."
