The atmosphere of a home made Li Qing’s expression momentarily distant.

Indeed, the atmosphere of a home.

"If we could live like this forever, would you want to?" Li Qing asked gently.

Wu Xingxing nodded without hesitation, "Of course, I would!"

"Silly, I’ve already said it—if I weren’t willing, I would’ve definitely run away by now."

"Also... you’re pressing against me."

Wu Xingxing’s perky and elastic buttocks were pressed against his pelvis, causing Li Qing’s body to react long ago.

But upon hearing this, he didn’t let go; instead, he pressed even closer.

"Letting you get familiar with it in advance," Li Qing said with a naughty smile.

"You bad person," Wu Xingxing said with blushing cheeks and in a soft voice, "Let go of me, what if someone comes in later."

"What’s there to be afraid of if someone comes in? It’s not illegal for the two of us to hug like this," Li Qing said, pressing Wu Xingxing even more tightly against him and deliberately rubbing himself against her crotch.

Wu Xingxing moaned softly and pushed Li Qing away with a blushing face, "It’s broad daylight; stop fooling around."

"After a few days, if you feel like it, I can come sleep in your room, um... you know what I mean," she said.

Li Qing’s heart leapt with joy.

Since they’ve spoken so openly today, it seemed he really didn’t have anything to worry about anymore.

Wu Xingxing was right.

He truly had been craving her body for a long time; a young girl’s unique aura always made one unable to stop oneself.

Sweet as honey are the married, sweet as sugar the young girls.

Though both are sweet, tasting them reveals completely different sensations. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Why wait a few days? I think today seems quite auspicious," Li Qing said with a mischievous smile.

Wu Xingxing blushed, and fidgeting, said, "I think my period is about to start, if not today then probably tomorrow."

Li Qing was taken aback.

The minor obstacle had arrived just as he was feeling a bit confliccTed?

That really was a bit of a mood killer.

He didn’t know before how to explain to Wu Xingxing, searching for ways to delay it for a few days.

He had only intended to test the waters today, but he hadn’t expected Wu Xingxing to be so forthright.

But although the talk was open, coincidentally, the obstacle had also arrived.

It was quite frustrating.

"An opportunity missed!" Li Qing exclaimed, clutching his chest in faux agony.

Wu Xingxing chuckled, "It’s just a few days, I’m not going anywhere."

"But now that we’ve talked about it, I don’t want to wait even one day," Li Qing muttered.

Wu Xingxing bent over laughing, "Who asked you not to be bolder before? I took the initiative so many times, and yet you had to play coy..."

Li Qing shrugged his shoulders.

Too bad there’s no such thing as a regret medicine in this world.

If he had known Wu Xingxing would have this attitude, he definitely wouldn’t have hesitated at all.

But it was just a matter of waiting a few days. He had gotten through so many days already, what’s a few more?

After talking with Wu Xingxing for a while, Han Mei and Yu Lan also returned.

The group ate dinner at the store and then began preparing for the evening’s barbecue.

It seemed like things were always piling up.

Just as Han Mei and Yu Lan were busy and flustered with village affairs,

the barbecue stall had been doing exceptionally well these past two days; the square was so full that big vehicles couldn’t even find parking space and many had to park by the roadside.

And the hundred thousand yuan donated by Li Qing was now showing its effects.

Some villagers even took the initiative to stand in the square, directing the big vehicles where to park.

This made Li Qing admire Qin Wenjun’s capabilities once again.

As for how capable this woman was at handling things, it was too soon to make a conclusion.

But her ability to scheme against people was definitely first-rate.

Last time, she instigated a group of women in the village to have a meeting, and with a raise of her hand, there were countless family disputes.

For those few days, the village was in utter chaos, and the men were almost on the verge of rebellion.

And this time, if it weren’t for a little adjustment she made,

Li Qing would probably not only have failed to earn the villagers’ respect but also have stirred up a whole lot of trouble for himself.

When dealing with money unfairly, letting everyone fight and scramble for it, it instead highlighted Li Qing’s status.

He was busy until after eleven o’clock at night.

Han Mei and Wu Xingxing settled down in the convenience store, while Li Qing went back to his house.

After a busy day, he wasn’t particularly tired.

Having taken a hot shower, Li Qing spread out a mat in the courtyard, sat cross-legged on it, and carefully sensed the existence of Qi.

These days, with his relentless efforts, he had finally identified all the acupoints on his body.

Next, he needed to sense the existence of the Dantian and guide the Qi to circulate through his body.

In the Qi Cultivation Technique, this was the most basic step.

But for Li Qing, it seemed like an insurmountable barrier.

He knew where the Dantian was located, but when he tried to feel it, his brain started to think about the Dantian instead.

His focus would stay on the Dantian for no more than two seconds before drifting back to his brain.

After countless attempts and still unable to keep his focus on the Dantian, Li Qing gave up.

The more he tried, the more irritable he became, and the more irritable he was, the less stable his focus became.

In this matter, he found the feeling he had back in the days when he was in class.

Paying attention for two minutes, daydreaming for two hours.

The very next morning, right after getting up, Li Qing received a phone call from Qi Mengru.

The Immortality Elixir that Qi Junhou took away had already been sold, netting a profit of eight hundred thousand.

This kind of money made Li Qing’s just-awakened mind go blank for a moment.

It was an unimaginable business deal.

In the past, not to mention making eighty thousand, even making eight thousand would have thrilled him for a long time.

But now, he felt almost indifferent to the eighty thousand.

As if eighty thousand wasn’t a large sum of money anymore.

He had really become inflated with pride!

Qi Mengru called to ask for Li Qing’s bank account number.

Qi Junhou had rushed off yesterday and had not remembered to deal with this matter.

After thinking it over, Li Qing asked Qi Mengru to handle the matter for now, saying that he was not in a hurry to receive the money.

In passing, he also had Qi Mengru recommend a custom jade shop.

To store Immortality Elixir, genuine jade wares were required, and Li Qing, not knowing much about such things, was concerned about being cheated.

After hanging up the call, Li Qing got himself ready and rode his bike to Tongcheng County.

Jade Manor.

The largest jade shop in Tongcheng County.

As Li Qing stepped in, he was nearly blinded by the dazzling array of jade on display.

"What would sir like to see? Our shop has necklaces, bracelets, trinkets, and more,"

A pretty clerk with a professional smile politely asked Li Qing.

Li Qing’s gaze lingered on the intentionally revealed neckline of her blouse for two seconds, then he asked, "Do you do custom work here?"

"Of course, we do custom work. What would sir like to customize, and what price range of materials would you like to use?" the female clerk curiously glanced at Li Qing.

A young man who didn’t look wealthy was talking about a big purchase out of the blue.

"Something nicer, a few vases," Li Qing said.

"Vases... vases?!" The clerk gasped, somewhat startled.

Using jade to make vases, isn’t that a bit too extravagant?!
