After the college entrance exam, he began to become a male god of extraction.

Chapter 110 Returning to Ningcheng, the First Visit from the Son-in-Law (6k)

"Xiao Qin, how long have I been asleep?"

Around 4 PM, Xia Qingyun finally got up.

She was exhausted last night, but now that she's opened her eyes, she feels completely refreshed.

"The sun is almost setting."

"Huh? It's been that long?"

Xia Qingyun was startled.

"It's past four in the afternoon now, don't you think?"

Xu Qin showed her the time.

"Then I slept for ten hours?"

If Xia Qingyun remembers correctly, she went to bed around 6 a.m., so it's been exactly ten hours since then.

"Yeah, how are you feeling now?"

"I feel so comfortable all over!"

Xia Qingyun sat there and stretched lazily. She felt like her whole body was falling apart last night, but now she felt very comfortable.

"There's just something that feels off—"

"where?"

"Where did you say?"

"hey-hey----"

Xu Qin felt slightly embarrassed.

The two of them went all out last night, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Although they took several breaks in between, the actual duration of their activity was still quite impressive, even excluding those breaks.

Xu Qin was thrilled, but Xia Qingyun was not.

As the old saying goes, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not skies that can't be plowed.

But this doesn't seem to apply to Xu Qin. At least with Xia Qingyun alone, Xu Qin isn't exhausted to the point of dying.

Xu Qin asked her, "Are you hungry?"

"A little."

Xia Qingyun touched her belly.

"I brought you some bread this morning, do you want some?"

"eat!"

Xia Qingyun saw the bread. "Let's each eat half, and then go out for a big meal later!"

"Alright."

Soon, the two of them shared a piece of bread equally.

"Xiao Qin, let's go take a shower!"

I took a shower this morning.

"No, I want to shower with you!"

Xia Qingyun was quite mischievous. She took the initiative to help Xu Qin take off his clothes, and then pulled him into the bathroom together.

When Xia Qingyun woke up, she was fully recovered.

So in the bathroom, the two of them joked and played around for quite a while.

As a newlywed couple, both experiencing their first sexual encounters, they are deeply in love and inseparable.

It was almost seven o'clock when the two of them went out.

Midway through their journey, Xu Qin and Xia Qingyun stopped at a pharmacy to buy medicine, since the two of them hadn't taken any precautions the night before.

However, Xu Qin will have to be careful in the future; last night was a special case.

How can there be any barriers on the first time?

After eating and drinking their fill, the two strolled around for another hour before returning to the hotel.

"Xiao Qin, our flight is at 11:00 AM tomorrow, so we'll go to the airport at 9:00 AM."

"no problem."

Xu Qin sat in front of the computer and opened the interface of "New City Year One II".

Collections: 8123658.

Today marks the third day of our best-selling completed book recommendation series, and it will end in three hours.

However, now that the number of collections has exceeded eight million, Xu Qin has already achieved his goal.

"A beauty mark under the eye, it's been collected over eight million times."

"Wow, you achieved your goal so quickly! I remember your initial goal was three million, right?"

"Yes, it started at three million, then we reached three million, so the goal was five million, but we never expected it to end up being over eight million. This book is now a complete success!"

Xu Qin stretched and yawned. One goal after another was achieved, and the feeling of constantly advancing made him feel excited.

Xia Qingyun stood behind him, massaging his shoulders.

A pair of large white objects were pressed against the back of his head.

Like a soft pillow.

The beauty mark under the eye is quite impressive. Among the girls Xu Qin knows, Xia Qingyun is the oldest, followed by Yu Zhaoyan and Qi Jing. However, it's hard to say about Qi Jingheng because Xu Qin has never met her.

As for Chi Danqing, I don't really know him.

However, Xu Qin could vaguely see that this older sister had a very broad mind and was worthy of the name "older sister".

However, for Xu Qin, the older sister was still too far away.

You don't have the means to even approach Chi Danqing; she's a real heiress.

"Won't the next book need ten million favorites?"

Xia Qingyun laughed, "Eight million is a huge hit, and over ten million is a phenomenon. Xiao Qin, your next book might just be that!"

"I'll probably work on my next book after mid-November. After finishing the essay contest, I need to take a good rest. If I get any inspiration in between, I'll prepare some more. As for the 'must-have' book, we'll talk about that later."

"By the way, about the beauty mark under your eye, let me do the math for you. My income this month isn't low!"

Xu Qin suddenly remembered his royalties and became very excited.

This money includes forum tips, the prize money for being the number one new book in September, and money from the publisher.

The first two payments will be issued tomorrow morning, while the publisher's payment will be issued the day after tomorrow.

Of the total, the forum rewards amounted to 1687536.53 yuan last month, while the top-grossing new book received a reward of 300,000 yuan, bringing the total to nearly two million yuan.

After tax, the amount is: 1764932.44 yuan.

As for the publisher, there were two payments: one was the 20,000 copies of the first batch of "New City Year One" when it was released, and the other was the 209365 copies of the second batch of "New City Year One" that were released by the end of September, for a total of 229365 copies.

The royalty is 15%, and each book sells for 60 yuan.

After deducting taxes, the final amount received is 1833085 yuan.

The two sums add up to 3598017.44 yuan.

"That's about three million six hundred thousand?" Xia Qingyun was surprised.

"Impressive, right?"

"That's awesome! I'm so happy for you!"

Then, the woman with the beauty mark in her eye advised, "But if you have so much money in your pocket, remember not to tell outsiders. Don't flaunt your wealth, or you'll easily get into trouble. If you have money, it's a small matter if others ask to borrow money from you. The worst thing is someone trying to rob you and kill you. You can find a lot of similar news online."

"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone, not even my roommates or Wei Guoyu. Only you, my parents, and I know."

Actually, my mother had mentioned the matter of not flaunting wealth to him several times, telling him not to tell outsiders about his wealth, because no one outside would want him to be successful, not even his relatives. People might think, "Why is your family doing so well?" The worst thing for a person is to feel unbalanced.

Keeping your wealth hidden is a form of wisdom.

Now, including the approximately 3.6 million yuan that will be paid out this month, Xu Qin's total savings have reached around 9 million yuan.

If an ordinary person had that much money in just a few months, it would be easy for them to lose control. So some people say that being successful at a young age is a good thing, but it's not necessarily a good thing either; there are advantages and disadvantages.

Xu Qin was alright; his family was well-off, and he had seen money before, so he remained calm.

Moreover, for someone as gifted as him, Xu Qin felt that the money he had now was nothing, and that he would have more in the future.

Furthermore, "New City Year One II" has already surpassed eight million collections, so perhaps a major copyright will be released this month.

"That's good!"

Xia Qingyun then asked, "Are you done with your work, Xiao Qin?"

"I finished my work during the day, so now I'm just looking around."

"Then we need to get busy with something else!"

Xia Qingyun pulled Xu Qin up from the chair.

"what?"

"What do you think? Why are you still asking?" Xia Qingyun made Xu Qin stand up, and then took off Xu Qin's short-sleeved shirt.

"You little vixen, with that beauty mark under your eye!"

Xu Qin suddenly realized and laughed, "You're addicted, aren't you?"

"You're a little addicted, but you should be even more addicted, Xu Qin, you little bull!"

"I have boundless energy, it's inexhaustible. Didn't you say last night that you'd use every last drop? Turns out I couldn't handle it myself."

"snort!"

Xu Qin was quickly stripped naked by the other party.

Xia Qingyun still made him lie on the bed.

"You have a great figure!"

As Xia Qingyun laid Xu Qin down, her gaze swept over his entire body, somewhat infatuated.

Thanks to Xu Qin's consistent fitness routine, rain or shine, his physique has improved significantly. Given his current workout frequency and effort, even with a tenfold increase in intensity, his muscular build will be fully developed in another month.

"Your beauty mark under your eye, you're turning into a little flirt," Xu Qin laughed.

As Xia Qingyun tied her hair up, she said, "I'm thinking, which woman wouldn't be attracted to your figure and face?"

Xu Qin rested his hands behind his head, looking at the other person: "Theoretically, many women would be tempted!"

"snort!"

Xia Qingyun tied her hair up in a high ponytail and did some warm-up exercises for Xu Qin before saying, "Tonight, I'm going to try those thirty-six moves you mentioned last night again!"

"A beauty mark under the eye, just as you wished!"

Xu Qin was in a hurry to get Xia Qingyun into the zone.

"To be honest, where did you learn that? Don't say it's from watching movies. I've watched a lot of movies, and they don't have that many fancy things in them."

What movie did you watch?

"Don't change the subject, answer my question first."

"Actually, I found a secret manual, memorized it, and used it last night."

"But you were incredibly skilled last night, Xu Qin. Do you have other women besides me?"

"You're innocent, beauty mark! I, Xiao Chunan, have given you everything."

Why are you proficient?

Ah Long's Thirty-Six Styles

Grade: Gold.

Legend has it that the grade is the highest, so the gold grade is the best of the best. It would be strange if Xu Qin wasn't proficient in it.

He felt that his experience in that area was probably already among the world's best.

Because "Ah Long's Thirty-Six Styles" is not just thirty-six moves, but also includes the combat experience of Ah Long, the original holder of this characteristic, a master of seduction and a thousand-man slayer in the martial arts world.

Before going to bed tonight, the two of them made love again.

However, this time they didn't act recklessly like last night. The two of them had to catch a flight tomorrow morning, so they took a shower and went to bed at three in the morning.

Moreover, Xu Qin didn't torment Xia Qingyun too much tonight. Last night, being a newcomer, he was a bit reckless.

The two arrived at Xincheng Airport around 9 a.m. the next day.

Shortly after arriving at the airport, Xu Qin received the money from the forum, more than 176 million yuan.

Aside from the three million given to him by Chi Tingxuan, this is the largest sum of money Xu Qin has received so far, which inevitably makes him feel a little excited.

He even considered rewarding himself, given the huge sum he'd made all at once, with over 1.8 million still to be earned the day after tomorrow.

You should reward yourself eventually, right?

Xu Qin thought about buying a car. He was eighteen years old now, and owning a car at eighteen was obviously a goal worth achieving and commemorating.

However, Xu Qin eventually decided that he could consider the car issue at the end of the year, when he might buy a car worth millions.

Moreover, by the end of the year, my wealth may have exceeded 20 million.

Around 2 PM, the two arrived in Ningcheng.

After leaving the airport, the two took a taxi to the vicinity of Xia Qingyun's residential area.

Does your dad drink?

"I drink it occasionally."

"Where's the cigarette?"

"I've quit smoking, but I smoke occasionally."

"Then I'll buy two bottles of wine and take them upstairs."

Knowing that Xia Qingyun and Xu Qin were coming back together today, Xia Qingyun's mother, Ren Yun, invited Xu Qin to come up and sit down.

Now that his mother-in-law had invited him over, Xu Qin had no choice but to go up and sit down.

There are certain customs associated with a son-in-law visiting his wife's family; he should always bring something with him so as not to arrive empty-handed.

Near the residential area, Xu Qin found a tobacco and alcohol specialty store, picked out two bottles of liquor costing over 800 yuan, and prepared to place an order.

"Too expensive, two bottles cost 1,700 yuan."

Xia Qingyun said, "Just buy the cheapest one."

"That's fine, it won't cost much."

"All right."

After placing the order, Xu and Qin walked for a while and entered the residential area.

This is a cadre residential area; the residents here are not ordinary people, not counting their family members. For example, Old Xia, who is a section chief, is considered to be among the lowest-ranking officials here.

Upon entering, one sees excellent greenery and environment, pleasant scenery, and refreshing air.

As for the houses, they are all six or seven stories high, unlike other commercial buildings that are dozens of stories high.

Since Xia Qingyun's house was on the third floor, Xu Qin and the others simply took the stairs.

This is a one-elevator-one-household system.

When Xu Qin arrived on the third floor, he saw that Xia Qingyun's house was wide open. Looking inside, he could see Old Xia and Aunt Ren.

"Ah Qin, come in and have a seat!"

The aunt was the first to speak, coming out to greet Xu Qin.

"Good afternoon, Auntie!"

Xu Qin came in.

Ren Yun invited him to sit down on the sofa.

The sofas here are arranged in a U-shape, with two single sofas on either side of the armrests of the long sofa.

Old Xia was sitting on the single sofa with the left armrest.

Generally speaking, when a son-in-law visits a family for the first time, he is likely to be so nervous that he will clench his legs together and sit upright, not daring to move.

Xu Qin, however, was not like that.

He sat down next to Lao Xia and put down the two bottles of wine.

"How much?"

Old Xia asked him.

Xu Qin laughed and said, "Two bottles cost 1700 yuan, Uncle, am I being generous? How about we have a drink now?"

"You took something this expensive the first time you came in. How much will you take next time?"

"Uncle, I was afraid you wouldn't dare accept it. I can afford the expensive ones too," Xu Qin said with a smile.

"You brat, it's a good thing you're not my son, buying such expensive wine."

"hey-hey----"

Xu Qin pulled out a bottle opener and a disposable cup from under the coffee table.

He then opened a bottle of wine, poured half a glass for Lao Xia first, and then poured one for himself.

The order in which the wine is poured also matters.

"Uncle, have a drink. I've made some money recently, and the first thing that came to mind was my parents and grandparents, and the second thing that came to mind was you."

That brat has a good mouth.

Xia Jingxing glanced at the other person, said nothing, but picked up the disposable cup, took a small sip, and then let out a "ha".

This liquor has a high alcohol content of 42 degrees; one sip and you'll be intoxicated.

Old Xia isn't an alcoholic; he only drinks occasionally. However, he drank a lot when he was younger, but now that he's middle-aged, he rarely drinks for the sake of his health.

"I saw Qingyun message us the day before yesterday saying that you were on the news, you know, you were trending at number one. I checked the trending topic, and it really is you. What's going on?" Old Xia couldn't help but ask.

The Xincheng Hanfu Festival was no ordinary event; it was an ancestral worship ceremony for the Chi family, a prominent clan in Jiangnan. Xu Qin was surprisingly placed in the first row.

This startled Lao Xia.

The Chi family is no ordinary prominent family. Starting with Chi Yu, besides Chi Yu, a super-powerful figure who has gone down in history, there were countless other remarkable people during the more than two hundred years of imperial rule. Then came modern times, and there were even more outstanding people in the political, scientific, academic, and business fields.

This family has produced many outstanding individuals.

You can't say that those who play politics rely on the protection of their ancestors.

However, the Chi family has produced several world-class scientists. How can you claim that as a result of your ancestors' influence?

The Chi family is a truly prestigious family with incredibly strong genes.

People at Lao Xia's level felt that the Chi family was very distant from them, and compared to them, they were no different from those who farmed in the countryside.

As a result, Xu Qin was placed in the first row, and according to his daughter, Xu Qin was personally selected by Chi Bo'an to be in the first row.

His daughter obviously wouldn't tell him such a lie.

So Xu Qin lied?

Not really, because he was indeed in the first row.

That's the new city, the world's number one city. Chi Bo'an has one foot in the Dragon Transformation Pool.

The Dragon Transformation Pool was a realm that Old Xia never dared to dream of.

As he grew older, Lao Xia became increasingly convinced of the power of fate.

How many people are stuck at the grassroots level their whole lives? In comparison, he has already reached a level that many people dare not even imagine. Of course, when he looks up, there is a sky that he cannot even imagine.

"This matter—"

Xu Qin took a small sip of wine and continued, "Back then, I was wearing Hanfu on Chiyu Avenue and had someone borrow a horse to ride on. Halfway there, Chi Bo'an saw me. He thought I looked very dashing and told me to line up in the first row. When I later found out who he was, I was shocked. Uncle, how much higher in rank is he than you?"

"Ha! He's higher-ranking than my boss's boss!"

As they spoke, Old Xia got a little tipsy and took another sip of his drink. "A position I wouldn't even dare to dream of in my next life."

"Uncle, once I've achieved great success, I'll help you along the way!"

"You think you'll really make it big? I believe you can get rich, but I wouldn't dare dream of anything else."

Old Xia knew Xu Qin was joking with him, what's commonly known as bullshit, so he didn't take it seriously.

Xu Qin continued, "Actually, the 1st didn't mean much to me. Although people put me in the first row, look at me now, am I still just a greenhorn? What's the difference between me and the me of the past?"

So it's actually useless. You have to be strong yourself to succeed. Otherwise, even if you put me in a high position, I can't handle it. In the end, I'm nothing right now.

"Hmm, not bad, it's good that you have this idea, but I'm afraid you'll get carried away," Old Xia praised.

At this moment, Ren Yun asked, "Ah Qin, how about we have dinner here tonight?"

"Yes, Auntie! I'd like to try your cooking!"

Since we're already here, we'll definitely have to eat, and I guess the other party has already bought the groceries.

"The Chi family is very powerful. They are a prominent family worthy of the world's admiration and will be remembered in history," Old Xia continued.

Xu Qin nodded: "Of course, someone like Chi Yu has emerged."

"I'm not talking about Chi Yu, I'm talking about this family. This is a prestigious and upright family. Look how many times the emperors of Longhan have slaughtered these families? Only the Chi family survived. It's not because they are particularly shrewd or worldly-wise, but because this family is truly powerful, and the people they produce are all outstanding individuals."

Old Xia told the story in a leisurely manner; Old Xia could be considered a semi-literary man.

There are two extremes among intellectuals: one is the man of integrity, like Wen Tianxiang, and the other is scoundrels.

Old Xia leans towards the first type; he's a man of integrity.

Old Xia got really excited: "Look at what these civil officials have been up to since the Song Dynasty! They've all been traitors! That's why these scumbags have been slaughtered time and time again during the Longhan era. And how many merchants and families were involved behind that? So, kid, if you ever amount to anything, you'd better be a real man. If I find out you've become a scumbag, you're dead meat!"

Old Xia said that the Chi family is a prominent and upright family, and that outstanding people are born into it. People should be like them.

Xu Qin is now considered a writer, and Lao Xia mentioned that the literary community is most prone to causing trouble, warning Xu Qin not to become that kind of person.

Ren Yun said, somewhat speechless, "Old Xia, what are you talking about?"

"You don't understand," Old Xia said.

Old Xia thought that Xu Qin's aura was practically overflowing from the screen in the scene that went viral, so Xu Qin is very likely to rise to prominence in the future, and it's necessary to say a few words in advance.

"Uncle is right, I think that makes a lot of sense." Xu Qin nodded and smiled.

The two chatted for quite a while in the living room.

As an elder, Lao Xia said a lot to Xu Qin.

Generally speaking, you should listen selectively to what your elders say. If your elders have accomplished nothing, then you shouldn't listen to a word they say and just pretend you don't hear them. If your elders are doing well, then it's necessary to listen to them, but you shouldn't listen to everything they say.

Xu Qin selectively listened to only parts of what Lao Xia said.

Time flew by and it was past five in the afternoon.

Ren Yun started getting busy in the kitchen.

Xu Qin came in.

"Ah Qin, how did you get in?"

"I came in to see, Auntie, I was wondering if I could help you."

Actually, Xu Qin came in to obtain a special feature.

There's a special feature attached to this spatula: Aunt Ren's cooking skills.

"Ah Qin, let Auntie do her work. You're the guest."

"It's okay, Auntie, I can help you with some washing and chopping vegetables."

At Xu Qin's earnest request, his mother-in-law finally agreed to let him stay in the kitchen to help.

Before long, Xu Qin also got to use a spatula.

【Whether to extract? 】

"extract!"

Extraction successful.

[Gained: Aunt Ren's cooking skills.]

[Note: This is your Aunt Ren's cooking. As a housewife, after more than 20 years of honing her skills in the kitchen, Ren Yun has developed quite a few culinary skills. While these skills may not make you a professional chef, they are more than enough to prepare your signature dishes.]

Grade: Silver.

It turned out to be a silver coin, so Xu Qin naturally didn't hold back.

This is a practical skill.

Not to mention fitness enthusiasts like Xu Qin, who prefers a healthy diet, so he doesn't order takeout often. If he could cook a good dish himself, that would be even better.

After extracting the characteristics, Xu Qin felt even better in the kitchen.

Xia Qingyun came in briefly, but it was obviously a bit crowded with the three of them in the kitchen, so she left the kitchen later, leaving Xu Qin and his mother-in-law to work inside.

Around 6 o'clock, we finally got to eat.

Four meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup made for a very satisfying dinner.

The mother-in-law had clearly made preparations in advance to entertain Xu Qin.

The dinner table was lively, with clinking glasses, laughter, and chatter, and the meal lasted for an hour.

Old Xia ate his fill and enjoyed the meal very much.

At this moment, Lao Xia sat there, leaning against the back of his chair, looking at Xu Qin.

The latter felt a little uneasy under his gaze. "Uncle, why are you staring at me like that?"

"I was thinking, if I had a son, he should be about your age by now," Old Xia suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Ren Yun glanced at her husband.

The second child was a regret for the two of them. They originally had another child, a son, but she had an accident during her pregnancy, fell and miscarried. Even Xia Qingyun didn't know about this.

Xu Qin laughed and said, "Uncle, let me be your son!"

"You little rascal, you're never serious!"

Old Xia said irritably, then added, "Now that we're full, let's go for a walk downstairs in the neighborhood."

"Okay."

So, Xu Qin followed Lao Xia downstairs.

There was a breeze at night, and the greenery in the neighborhood was lush. The wind rustled through the leaves.

Xu Qin and Lao Xia strolled around the neighborhood.

"Uncle, I heard that all the people living here are leaders?"

"There are also many family members."

Do you move around a lot usually?

"I don't want to move around yet!"

Old Xia was actually a military officer, but he was also a scholar with integrity. He didn't want to get involved in those messy social niceties, but after all, people in the martial world have no choice but to follow their own path.

The two walked and talked.

An old man came up behind him.

It was dark by then.

Xu Qin and Lao Xia walked out from the swaying shadows of the trees. In the interplay of light and shadow, the old man saw Xu Qin clearly and was suddenly startled. His eyes sharpened, and he stood there, looking Xu Qin up and down as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

At this moment, Xu Qin's "Heroic Demeanor" was automatically triggered.

"Xia, is this your son?"

"Boss, this is my son," Old Xia replied.

The old man asked, "Does this child have a girlfriend?"

Xu Qin replied, "Boss, I have a girlfriend."

97

"Oh, I see. What a pity, what a pity—"

The old man looked at Xu Qin and felt both amazed and sorry for him.

After exchanging a few words, the group parted ways.

"Who was that leader just now?"

"It's quite big," Old Xia said.

Xu Qin: "Does he look like he's trying to set me up with someone?"

"His daughter is ten years older than you, do you want her?"

"Is it pretty?"

"It's just average, and the weight is a bit high."

"Never mind then, hehe————"

"Hmph! You brat!"

Old Xia snorted coldly, feeling annoyed. With Xu Qin following him, Old Xia suddenly felt like he was taking his son out for a stroll.

Having both a son and a daughter is considered a blessing in Chinese culture, and Lao Xia is no exception.

For the next twenty minutes or so, the two of them strolled around the neighborhood. It was around the time when everyone had just finished eating, and many people were coming downstairs for a walk. Along the way, Xu Qin and his companion encountered quite a few people.

To Lao Xia's surprise, in just over twenty minutes, Xu Qin had been approached by several leaders who wanted to introduce him to potential partners, almost like the ancient story of "the emperor catching a son-in-law after the imperial examination."

Old Xia found it really strange that Xu Qin was so popular.
