185: Chapter 183: Beauty’s Sneak Attack 185: Chapter 183: Beauty’s Sneak Attack He didn’t know how long it had taken before Tangyu finally said, “Xinxin is fine now.”
Zhao Xinxin, who had appeared somewhat bewildered, also returned her gaze to Tangyu, only to see that Tangyu was drenched in sweat by now, which strangely moved her heart.
For many years, she had never felt such warmth, such care, such moving attention from a man.
Women are emotional creatures; they are easily moved, and sometimes they might be moved in inexplicable ways.
Once a woman is moved, things become very delicate.
It’s as if a forbidden door in their heart has been opened.
An indelible mark is made invisibly, and this mark might just be the beginning of feelings.
That’s why many men love to use this ultimate technique of moving someone to pursue girls, and it never fails.
Even the strongest women have a fragile side deep inside them.
Even if they appear tomboyish, as long as they are women, they desire to be cared for by men.
Perhaps women are naturally inclined to lean on others, just as they naturally love beauty.
It’s a subtly instilled nature.
“Thank you!” Zhao Xinxin said deeply.
Normally, she was a strong woman, the boss of a company.
But at that moment, she stripped away these halos and returned to being a normal, simple woman.
Tangyu curved his lips in a smile, knowing that a man has three great fortunes: One is to make a beauty smile, as there were ancient plays involving fire and princes to make a beauty smile, creating timeless and peerless songs.
The second is to earn a word of praise and thanks from a beauty.
Countless heroes save beauties in hopes of earning that grateful word.
The third is to receive mutual affection from a beauty.
Since ancient times, love left empty breeds resentment, a resentment without end.
Having achieved the second fortune, it was naturally a beautiful thing.
A beauty’s simple frown or smile can greatly satisfy a man.
“Don’t mention it, Xinxin.
I’ve completely cured your underlying illness this time.
As long as you maintain a balance between work and rest from now on, it won’t recur.
Xinxin, you take some rest; I’m going to step out,” Tangyu said.
Just as he opened the door to leave, Tangyu almost bumped into someone.
Close inspection revealed it was Liu Shanshan standing at the door.
Wearing a one-piece camisole nightgown, Liu Shanshan exuded an unusual charm and sensuality.
Her arms and the expanse of whiteness below her neck were exposed in the open air, compelling one to take a few more glances.
When a woman wears a nightgown, no matter how innocent she seems, she becomes quite sexy, and at that moment, Liu Shanshan displayed her sexy and charming side.
“Shanshan, what are you doing here?” Tangyu asked, since Liu Shanshan seemed to have been standing at the door all this while; he had almost bumped into her when he opened the door.
“Oh, nothing much, I just passed by here on my way from the toilet when you happened to come out.
How is Xinxin?” Liu Shanshan’s gaze flickered as she looked into the room and stealthily evaluated Tangyu.
She was a bit puzzled, as Tangyu had stayed in Xinxin’s room for about an hour, right?
And why did he look as if he had just finished some strenuous exercise, all sweaty?
Although Liu Shanshan was very innocent, she understood enough to unavoidably entertain some unwelcome thoughts, and uncontrollably, a rather embarrassing idea flashed across her mind.
“Oh, Xinxin needs to rest a bit right now, please avoid disturbing her,” Tangyu said, and then quietly closed the room’s door.
Liu Shanshan had only been guessing until now, but after hearing and seeing Tangyu’s statement, it seemed like something really had happened between Tangyu and Xinxin.
For some reason, she felt a mysterious ache in her heart, an inexplicable sensation of heartburn as if acid was churning inside her.
“Oh, then I won’t disturb you guys,” Liu Shanshan said with her head down, then quickly walked toward her room.
This unusual action made Tangyu blink and pause before he suddenly realized; did she think he had been intimate with Xinxin?
But upon reflection, he couldn’t really blame Liu Shanshan for thinking that way.
Tangyu wanted to explain, but Liu Shanshan had already entered her room and shut the door.
Tangyu just curled his lips; this was a huge misunderstanding.
He wasn’t worried that Liu Shan would be jealous; more than that, he disliked being misunderstood about things he had not done.
Injustice was always something Tangyu disliked.
“Never mind, I’ll explain tomorrow.
It’s time to go to sleep; there’s a lot to do tomorrow,” Tangyu stretched his limbs, shook his head, and walked upstairs.
Once in the room, Tangyu found Lin Feifei deeply asleep, her body curled up like a small baby.
She was quite adorable.
Her delicately sculpted little nose was twitching regularly with her breaths.
And that cherry-like small mouth was also occasionally muttering.
This warmth was something Tangyu appreciated; his neatly folded clothes were already neatly placed on the chair.
When it came to such details, Lin Feifei was quite considerate and understanding.
The night was very calm, so calm that nothing happened.
After bathing, Tangyu quietly went to bed.
This was the first time the two of them had slept so peacefully together.
The next morning, Tangyu got up early at five, as always.
Dawn breaks early in autumn, and by five o’clock the sky was already turning a fish-belly white.
At this hour, the air was at its freshest, marking a crucial period of the day—the interchange between Pure Yang Qi and Pure Yin Qi.
Although the Pure Yang Qi wasn’t at its strongest for the day, it was still the optimal moment for cultivation.
With the presence of both Yin and Yang, their interchange could promote mutual enhancement.
In recent days, he had consumed a lot of Pure Yang Qi, and it was essential to practice more to replenish it, lest he find himself in a tight spot unable to respond properly.
The residential area really had a nice environment, with ample green spaces.
Selecting a quiet little grassy area at random, Tangyu sat down cross-legged, breathing in and out, cultivating the Pure Yang Scripture.
Pure Yang Scripture was a mental method for absorbing Pure Yang Qi from the environment and formed the basis of the Immortal Finger Healing Technique.
Without Pure Yang Qi, the Immortal Finger Healing Technique wouldn’t be much different from ordinary acupuncture in terms of effectiveness.
To advance the level of the Immortal Finger Healing Technique, one must cultivate through the Pure Yang Scripture to elevate the realm of Pure Yang Qi.
Tangyu had been stuck at the Fifth Layer of the Pure Yang Scripture for nearly two years, unable to break through to the Sixth Layer.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed two sessions to completely heal Zhao Xinxin.
After an hour of absorbing and exhaling, Tangyu opened his eyes, jumped up lightly, and moved his limbs, making a crackling sound like firecrackers, feeling an indescribable sense of refreshment throughout his body.
Having completed his breathing exercises, Tangyu began practicing Tai Chi right there, a form unlike any version of Tai Chi known today.
To the untrained eye, his movements might seem odd and uncoordinated, but a connoisseur would definitely see the essence and brilliance within.
“Hu!”
Suddenly, a nimble figure dashed out and swooped towards Tangyu.
Tangyu’s eyes slightly raised as he glanced at the figure attacking him—a young woman who appeared to be just in her early twenties.
Dressed in a blue tracksuit and with a ponytail, she looked refreshingly beautiful.
Her movements were incredibly fast and precise.
Within just a few blinks, she had swooped in close to Tangyu and threw a punch directly at his chest.
However, Tangyu didn’t sense any hostility from this beautiful attacker.
This slightly puzzled him, as he didn’t know this beauty and wondered why she would attack him.
Though it seemed delayed, her attack was fast; only when the beauty was close did Tangyu’s body suddenly move.
He executed a beautifully flawless turn, neatly dodging her punch.
At the same time, Tangyu’s hand flashed like lightning to grasp the woman’s wrist.
Her skin was smooth and tender, a delightful sensation almost like holding a baby’s hand.
With a fluid motion, he pulled the woman forward, her own momentum adding to the force of his motion.
“Ah!” The woman suddenly felt her body lose balance, about to topple forward, and couldn’t help but let out a shriek.
Tangyu’s lips curved into a light smile.
He moved forward in a swift step, and his hand relaxing its grip quickly wrapped around the woman’s waist, securing her close.
This flesh was even softer and more comfortable than that of her hand.
At this moment, the woman was nearly leaning forward at a forty-five-degree angle, only maintained in this posture by Tangyu’s arm around her waist.
Only then did Tangyu seriously take a good look at the beauty.
Her face held a slight expression of shock, which was rather adorable.
Her skills weren’t bad either, especially considering she was among the more skilled women.
Judging by her foundation, she seemed to have been trained in martial arts from a young age.
Moreover, her techniques bore shades of Tai Chi, suggesting she had trained in Tai Chi.
Getting up early for running and exercising showed she was a diligent woman.
Tangyu couldn’t help but compare her with Guo Momo and Liu Shiyi, noting that this woman was roughly the same age as the other two.
And all three had fresh, pleasant looks, giving a comfortable vibe.
Perhaps the feeling had something to do with their age, but regardless, they shared this trait.
And in terms of appearance, this woman was certainly not inferior to Guo Momo and Liu Shiyi.
Of course, in terms of demeanor, she didn’t match Guo Momo, though she was not far behind Liu Shiyi.
Moreover, she possessed a quality in her bones that Tangyu deeply admired and liked.
Perhaps as fellow martial artists, they felt a certain kinship.
“Hey, let me go, it’s not proper for men and women to touch like this.
Don’t take advantage of me,” the beauty said, though she dared not move much for fear that any slight release from Tangyu would send her crashing to the ground.
“I can let go, sure, but you need to tell me why you attacked me.
It seems like we’re meeting for the first time, and I don’t recall offending you.
You attacked me first, yet accuse me of taking advantage, quite the accusation.
Moreover, even if I did take advantage, it can hardly be considered unjustified, given your unprovoked attack.
Besides, if I hadn’t caught you, you’d already be on the ground, face down in the dirt.
Are you sure you want me to let go?” Tangyu quipped with a smirk, finding the beauty rather amusing, and wanted to tease her a bit.
“Ah, don’t let go, I don’t want to fall and get dirty.
Wait, you’re the real dog here, deliberately insulting me, right?” the beauty quickly pleaded, but then immediately started scolding again.
