After saying goodbye to Sister Hongxia, Chang Kun secured Zixia on the front beam of his bicycle and pedaled home.

Just as I turned into the alley, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from behind the big locust tree.

"Oh dear!"

Zixia screamed in fright, her small body shrinking back, almost bursting into tears on the spot.

In this pitch-black alley, with dim streetlights and pale moonlight, if someone suddenly jumped out, anyone would be scared half to death.

Chang Kun tensed up, his spear ready to spring into action at any moment, and instinctively shouted, "Who's there! Hands up!"

These days, enemy agents still occasionally appear in the city, so he dared not be careless in the slightest.

The dark figure was terrified and immediately screamed at the top of its lungs:

"Brother Kun! It's me, Xiao Lü!"

Hearing the sound, Chang Kun slammed on the brakes in annoyance and scolded:

"What are you doing hiding here so late? You almost scared me half to death!"

Zixia, with tears welling up in her eyes, pointed at Xiao Lü and cried out in a pitiful voice:

"Bad guy! Villain! Big brother, hit him!"

Chang Kun reached out and patted her little head, gently coaxing her:

"Alright, alright, let me touch your fur, it won't scare you. Let me touch your ears, it'll scare you for a bit."

After a few words of comfort, Zixia finally stopped crying.

Chang Kun pointed ahead: "Go home by yourself. Xiu'er should still be awake. Go find her and play."

The little girl immediately jumped for joy, completely forgetting that she had just been frightened, and her short legs tumbled forward.

Chang Kun quickly shouted from behind, "Slow down! Don't fall!"

After the little girl ran far away, Chang Kun turned around, glared at Xiao Lü, and said irritably:

"What are you doing? Why aren't you home this late? Trying to stay overnight at Baohua's?"

Xiao Lü scratched the back of his head and chuckled sheepishly:

"I wouldn't dare. We're not married yet. That would be indecent."

"Good to know!" Chang Kun was still a little angry.

That kid hid behind a tree in the dark; luckily, it was me he ran into.

If he were to run into the security team, they would definitely treat him like a spy, arrest him, and interrogate him.

"So, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Lü rubbed his hands together, his face turning red, and after stammering for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence like squeezing toothpaste:

"Brother Kun, um... I said eighteen sentences to Baohua today..."

Chang Kun was completely puzzled. He looked the guy up and down, wondering if the kid was even speaking human language.

After get off work, I went to find Baohua, just to say a few words. Why did he stand behind the tree late at night just to say this to me?

He even remembered every single word he said, down to the last detail. How bizarre is that?

Chang Kun, too lazy to pay attention to his bizarre train of thought, asked directly and irritably:

"What's wrong? You think eighteen sentences is too many, that you've been taken advantage of, and that Baohua has to make up for it with a few more sentences?"

"Hehe, no, no!" Xiao Lü quickly waved his hands frantically, "I was just thinking, when I have some free time later, um..."

"Hurry up and say it, spit it out!" Chang Kun rolled his eyes; he didn't have time to waste the whole night arguing.

"When are you free? I'd like to invite Baohua to dinner."

After holding it in for a long time, Xiao Lü finally squeezed out the words, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Inviting a young woman to dinner is much harder than just saying a few words; Xiao Lü had to muster up all her courage to say it.

"You want me to go and say it?" Chang Kun pointed to his nose, quite surprised by Xiao Lü's thought process.

When asked to have dinner with a girl, Xiao Lü was too shy to ask her out himself, so he actually wanted his "brother" to ask her to do it for him?

This is unbelievable...

These days, ordinary families are always short of food and clothing. Being able to invite someone to a meal is like being treated to a bodhisattva. Xiao Lü didn't even dare to ask for a meal.

"Give me a break! Go say it yourself!" Chang Kun waved his hand dismissively, refusing outright.

If Xiao Lü doesn't end up with Bao Hua, that's fine. But looking at his cowardly appearance, if he actually marries Bao Hua, he'll probably have to live with a god in his house.

Although Baohua has a limp, she is a generous, cheerful and capable girl.

It's one thing for Xiao Lü to be ugly, but he's also far too timid and hesitant.

Thinking of this, Chang Kun suddenly had an idea and began to ponder it to himself while stroking his chin.

Bao Hua's leg condition is considered a rare and complicated illness, so could the bumps on Xiao Lü's face also be considered one?

Actually, this guy is quite normal when he interacts with other people, but when he meets a blind date he likes, he immediately becomes so self-conscious that he doesn't dare to speak.

If his face could be healed, perhaps his timid and hesitant nature could also be cured.

Thinking of this, Chang Kun asked directly, "Xiao Lü, have you seen a doctor before for these bumps on your face?"

Xiao Lü sighed deeply, his face full of bitterness:

"Why haven't I seen a doctor? The doctor said it's called a cyst, and it can't be cured completely. It keeps recurring, and no matter how you treat it, it will leave a scar and won't heal completely."

Speaking of this, he looked completely dejected.

To treat the bumps on his face, he took a lot of traditional Chinese medicine and applied various ointments.

They even tried folk remedies like eating toad skin and applying earthworm excrement, suffering a lot of pain, but without any improvement.

Chang Kun secretly planned that he should use his skills in treating "difficult and complicated diseases" to treat Bao Hua's leg first.

As for Xiao Lü's face, let's wait until next month to get a number.

Anyway, this face doesn't affect his eating or sleeping; it's just a bit ugly. It's good to keep it so he can interact with Bao Hua more and build up his courage.

"Alright, I understand. As for having dinner with Baohua later, you'll have to figure it out yourself. Don't expect me to help you." Chang Kun waved his hand, directly refusing.

"Hey, you're my own brother! If you don't help me, who will?" Xiao Lü said anxiously.

"Don't even mention your own brother, it wouldn't matter if you called him your own grandfather!" Chang Kun retorted irritably.

"If you don't even dare to speak to a girl, you might as well not get married, lest you be too afraid to make a move on your wedding night."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lü's face flushed red, and he retorted with a stiff neck:

"Who says I wouldn't dare! Kun, don't underestimate me. When it comes to the wedding night, I'll definitely be fierce!"

"Yes, yes, you're amazing, you're the most amazing!" Chang Kun glanced at him with a half-smile and said meaningfully.

"But you'd better hurry up. If Baohua's leg is really healed, it's hard to say whether he'll still look at you."

After saying that, Chang Kun ignored him and pushed his bicycle straight into the depths of the alley to his home.

He has said all he could; he has done everything he could.

If this kid doesn't perform well, then he really can't blame himself.

Watching Chang Kun's retreating figure, Xiao Lü suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly called out from behind:

"Brother Kun, what did you mean by that just now? Can Baohua's leg really be cured?"

"That's wonderful! If it can really be cured, my parents would be more than happy to accept it!"

Chang Kun didn't turn his head, but just shook his head helplessly.

This kid should worry about whether he and Baohua can get together first.
