Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

After taking the Cleansing Muscles and Marrow Elixir, the marrow is cleansed and impurities are removed, which will improve one's appearance to some extent.

Those who were already good-looking will be even better now.

Perhaps because he had begun cultivating, he exuded a unique ethereal charm.

To be fair, it's quite pleasing to the eye and makes people feel comfortable and happy.

Zhou Caiwei blushed slightly under Ye Chen's gaze and gave him a reproachful look.

Ye Chen then realized, oh, I was so busy admiring the beauty!

"Ahem, what's up, little sister?" Ye Chen asked with a light cough.

"I can already sense spiritual energy! After cultivating these past few days, I feel incredibly refreshed!"

Zhou Caiwei spoke excitedly, as if presenting a treasure.

"Hmm, not bad, this talent isn't at the bottom!" Ye Chen nodded!

"Hehe!" Zhou Caiwei chuckled foolishly, "By the way, are you free tonight?"

"What, you want to treat me to dinner?!" Ye Chen chuckled.

Zhou Caiwei smiled sweetly: "Yes, Grandpa invited you over for dinner and asked me to come and call you!"

"Inviting me to dinner for no reason? What's going on? I have a feeling this can't be anything good!" Ye Chen pouted.

Zhou Caiwei rolled her eyes: "Can't I treat you to a meal if there's nothing wrong? What, are you afraid I'll lust after you?"

"If you're lusting after me, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush!" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Caiwei spat lightly: "You're so unserious. It's like someone from the capital is coming to our house, and your grandfather wants to make a connection for you."

"Oh, you want to introduce me through the back door? Sure, I should at least give the old man face for his kindness!" Ye Chen nodded.

Just then, Ye Chen's phone rang.

Ye Chen took it out and glanced at it: "Wait a moment, I need to take this call!"

Zhou Caiwei nodded and stood quietly to the side.

"Hey, Changsheng, what made you think of calling me?" Ye Chen answered the phone with a laugh.

The caller was Zhou Changsheng.

The friends I met during training camp.

Zhou Changsheng laughed and said, "Captain Ye, long time no see! Guess where I am?"

Ye Chen casually said, "Judging from your tone, you're not at a foot massage parlor, are you? Let me tell you, I'm a very self-disciplined person, don't involve me in this kind of thing!"

Zhou Changsheng was taken aback, then said irritably, "Tch, you act like I'm some kind of casual person. I'm in Lucheng now, is anyone home? I'll come visit you tonight!"

"Oh, you've come to Xiamen! You should have told me sooner. I'm too late. A girl is treating me to dinner tonight, but I'm free at other times!" Ye Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Hehe, Captain Ye, are you dating anyone? Of course, having dinner with your girlfriend is more important. I can talk to you again tomorrow!" Zhou Changsheng hurriedly said.

"Okay, you should know my home, right? It's 1301, Longjin Residential Area." Ye Chen didn't explain further.

"Okay, I know. See you tomorrow!"

"Um!"

The two ended the call after speaking.

Zhou Caiwei glared at Ye Chen, saying, "What foot massage parlor? And what girl invited me to dinner tonight? You're so irresponsible."

But she was inexplicably happy.

Ye Chen turned down other people's invitations for her; it was a feeling of being valued.

"What are you grinning about?" Ye Chen glanced at Zhou Caiwei.

"It's nothing, I'm just happy, is that not allowed!" Zhou Caiwei's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

"That's weird!" Ye Chen scratched his head. "Here, have this!"

Zhou Caiwei was taken aback: "What is this? Is it the same kind of magical pill as before? The color doesn't look quite the same!"

"Just eat the good stuff!" Ye Chen smiled.

Zhou Caiwei took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

"You don't want to see me make a fool of myself, do you? If you do, I'll bite you!" Zhou Caiwei pouted.

Ye Chen flicked her nose: "Don't worry, this won't cause any reaction. It's refreshing and helps to sharpen your mind!"

"Come here, I also have something for you!" Zhou Caiwei beckoned.

"What is it? You didn't steal something from your Zhou family's ancestral heirloom, did you?" Ye Chen asked suspiciously.

"Come closer! Why are you so far away from me?" Zhou Caiwei pulled Ye Chen.

As a result, she lost her balance and fell into Ye Chen's arms.

The soft fragrance enveloped him, and Ye Chen froze for a moment before instinctively wrapping his arms around her.

He swore that his hand had its own independent thoughts and didn't need his command at all...

As a result, the palm continued downwards, gently pausing where it shouldn't have.

Zhou Caiwei trembled all over and almost collapsed into Ye Chen's arms, but she just buried her head in Ye Chen's chest, pretending that she knew nothing.

The two remained like that for a few seconds, and the scene became slightly ambiguous.

Ye Chen said that his fingers actually had their own thoughts and were completely out of his control.

Then... (seven words omitted here).

"ah--"

Zhou Caiwei reacted instinctively and immediately ran away.

Fortunately, this was Ye Chen's home, and Zhou Caiwei broke free from Ye Chen's "clutches" and ran away without looking back.

Ye Chen looked at his hands, then at Zhou Caiwei's departing figure, and stood there awkwardly.

Wow, how can this hand have its own thoughts?

They're so skilled at it...

Looks like I should avoid going to shady places in the future. Seriously, it wouldn't be good if I were mistaken for a pervert.

......

That evening, Ye Chen went to the Zhou family's house at their invitation.

When Zhou Caiwei saw Ye Chen again, she pouted and her face turned slightly red!

Ye Chen scratched his head and changed the subject: "Uh, hehe, so, has everyone arrived yet?"

Zhou Caiwei snorted softly, "Not yet, but it should be soon. Grandpa and Great-Grandpa are in the tea room, let's go have some tea first!"

"Okay, I'll go in first!" Ye Chen ran off to find the old man as if he were fleeing.

At this moment, he felt embarrassed, as if he had been caught red-handed.

I just touched her during the day, and now I'm coming to her house. It feels weird.

"Brother Ye, you're here! Come, come, have a seat!"

When Grandpa Zhou saw Ye Chen, he stood up, smiled, and waved.

"Grandpa, you called me over for dinner. I heard you wanted to play matchmaker for me?" Ye Chen walked over with a smile.

"Hey, what matchmaking? It's just introducing you to some younger people, so you can become familiar with them, have more friends, and more opportunities!" Old Master Zhou shook his head with a smile.

"Someone you're even thinking of introducing must have an extraordinary background, right?" Ye Chen sat down next to Old Zhou at the tea table.

Grandpa Zhou smiled and poured Ye Chen a cup of tea: "This all started with our Zhou family. Actually, our Zhou family wasn't originally from Lucheng!"

"Oh? Could it be that you also moved here from the capital?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

Grandpa Zhou shook his head: "No, that's not it, but that's not important. Actually, I have a younger brother. I haven't achieved much in my life, but my brother is different. Although he's retired, he held an important position in the military and still has some influence in the industry!"
