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

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations detected in the character "Wei Qianmei"!]

[Angry: Delivering a love letter out of kindness, only to get beaten up for nothing! +300 points!]

Yang Xian's eyes twitched.

Oh no! What she said was actually true!

The system popped up a notification at this point, is it a tiny bit too late?

Why didn't you say anything when you hit someone last time?

You've really screwed me over this time!

Yang Xian paused for a few seconds, then sat down again: "Tell me, what kind of compensation do you want?"

This was exactly what Wei Qianmei was waiting for.

She straightened up from beside the desk, walked around the corner of the desk, and walked step by step to Yang Xian.

"It's very simple..."

"Just give me your money back."

As she spoke, Wei Qianmei reached out and touched Yang Xian's face.

"Dream on!"

Almost reflexively, Liu Ruyu raised her hand and slapped Wei Qianmei's hand away.

Wei Qianmei withdrew her hand, glanced at Liu Ruyu, and showed no anger; she even smiled.

Yang Xian shook his head: "Change to another one."

"Then—" Wei Qianmei tilted her head, "marry me."

"Change it again."

"Have a child with me?"

"..."

Yang Xian sighed.

"Miss Wei, can't you make a more reasonable request?"

"Isn't this proper enough?" Wei Qianmei raised an eyebrow: "Anyway, you have so many women, one more or one less won't make a difference."

She held up three long, slender fingers:

"Fine, I'll compromise then."

"Go on three dates with me."

"A date?" Yang Xian frowned slightly.

"Yes, just three times." Wei Qianmei held up three fingers and waved them in front of Yang Xian:

"If we still can't get along after three times, then let's just forget about it."

I will stop bothering you, and the matter of compensation will be dropped.

Yang Xian fell silent and began to ponder.

This woman clearly came prepared.

They set the bar so high that it's unacceptable to most people.

Then reveal the real bottom line.

News about him must have already spread throughout Star City.

Wei Qianmei was just the first one to come to them.

There will definitely be countless other powerful families lining up to cause trouble.

We'll solve one problem at a time.

Three dates to get some peace and quiet—this deal is barely acceptable.

"Yang Xian!" Liu Ruyu cried out anxiously, "You don't really mean to—"

"it is good."

Yang Xian nodded.

"Yang Xian!" Liu Ruyu's eyes widened.

"I promise you." Yang Xian ignored Liu Ruyu's protest and looked at Wei Qianmei's face. "But let me make this clear: after we go on three dates, you're not allowed to come near me again."

"Of course," Wei Qianmei readily agreed.

She took her phone out of her trench coat pocket, the screen facing Yang Xian.

"Let's exchange contact information. I'll let you know the time and place of our next appointment in advance."

Yang Xian took out his phone, and the two exchanged contact information.

Liu Ruyu watched from the side, her lips pressed tightly together, her nails digging into her palms.

She wanted to say something, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something.

Yang Xian put away his phone and looked at the girl beside him.

"Let's go."

He reached out his hand, but Liu Ruyu didn't move.

"Ruyu, believe me, I will not abandon you."

Liu Ruyu's eyelashes trembled, but she still placed her hand in Yang Xian's palm.

The two walked out of the classroom side by side.

Behind her, Wei Qianmei leaned against her desk, watching the two figures disappear at the end of the corridor, a smile slowly spreading across her face.

"Yang Xian, even if we still can't get along after three tries..."

"That's not up to you."

------

Saturday morning.

Liuqin's Manor.

"Sister Liu, it's getting late."

"Shouldn't we set off?"

Yang Xian pushed the woman off him and spoke helplessly.

"What's the rush?" Liu Qin wrapped her arms around Yang Xian's waist and buried her face in his chest.

Today she wore a light gray knit sweater, her long, dark purple hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and gold-rimmed glasses sat on her nose.

"Let my sister hold me a little longer."

I won't see you for the next few days.

"..." Yang Xian patted her back helplessly, "That's enough, I really have to go."

Liu Qin hesitated for a few seconds before finally letting go.

The two walked out the door.

A dark-colored sedan was parked in the yard.

Liu Qin opened the driver's side door, and Yang Xian went around to the other side and sat in the passenger seat.

The seatbelt clicked into place.

Yang Xian waited a few seconds.

The engine didn't make a sound.

He turned his head and found Liu Qin looking at him from the side.

"Why are you looking at me? Drive!"

Liu Qin didn't answer; instead, she leaned her body towards the passenger seat.

The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were shimmering with moisture.

Yang Xian.

"Um?"

"Let's satisfy my sister one more time."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xian's expression froze.

"Sister Liu, are you serious?"

"Um."

"Wasn't yesterday enough? Once in the morning, and again in the evening, can your body handle it?"

"It's enough..." Liu Qin lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously twirling the hem of Yang Xian's clothes, "but the thought of you not being around for the next few days makes me want to be a little greedy..."

Yang Xian stared at her face, inwardly complaining.

Women of this age are indeed as fierce as wolves and tigers.

Will Jiang Mengyun and the others become like this in ten or twenty years?

Will his kidneys be able to hold up by then?

Seeing that Yang Xian didn't speak, Liu Qin leaned closer to him, brought her lips to his ear, and gently bit his earlobe.

"Promise me, sister."

The breath was warm, with a faint fragrance, which I deliberately lingered around my ears.

"Right... in the car?" Yang Xian's body stiffened for a moment.

"Um!"

Liu Qin's lips curved into a smile: "We haven't tried it in the car yet. Today we have a chance, it would be a shame not to give it a try."

Yang Xian remained silent for two seconds.

Forget it.

If we don't feed her properly, this car probably won't even make it out the door today.

After all, we're asking them to help us get out of the city. If we can't even meet this small request, what if they change their minds later?

"Then... let's do it!"

------

Three hours later.

Star City, South Gate.

Liu Ruyu sat on the roof of a building, glancing towards the city gate every now and then.

She has been waiting here for almost two hours.

She slipped out of her dormitory at the crack of dawn and rushed to the vicinity of the South Gate.

There was only one purpose—to see Yang Xian one last time before he left.

"Why isn't Yang Xian here yet...?"

"Did they exit through another city gate?"

Liu Ruyu specifically asked Teacher Zhong yesterday that Yang Xian's escape route the day before yesterday was towards the south gate.

So this time it should also be this way.

That should be correct.

Just as she was hesitating about whether to change seats, a car came from the direction of the city.

The car was traveling at a slow speed, steadily making its way towards the city gate.

Liu Ruyu didn't pay attention at first, but when she saw the car clearly, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"Mom?"

Liu Ruyu blurted it out.

This is Liu Qin's car.

She was very familiar with it; she had ridden it countless times when she was a child.

My luck is so bad today.

Yang Xian was nowhere to be seen, but Liu Qin was spotted instead.

Liu Ruyu instinctively shrank her neck, not wanting to be discovered.

But the next second, the car stopped in front of the checkpoint at the city gate.

The car window slowly rolled down.

In the driver's seat, Liu Qin presented the documents.

Liu Ruyu's gaze should have been drawn away from there, but she inadvertently glanced at the man sitting in the passenger seat.

"Yang Xian?!"

"How come he was in that car too?"
