Although his heart was somewhat stirred, Li Chuan still tried to maintain a calm demeanor: "It's not exactly an inside source, but Wulin County is expected to develop its economy in multiple ways. Isn't tourism booming everywhere right now? Cultural tourism is thriving, and our Wulin County is by the seaside with beautiful scenery. Housing prices will surely rise in the future, so if you're planning to buy a house, now is the best time to do so."
After dinner, Lv Wenbin was already done for. He staggered back to his room and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
After tidying up, Li Chuan, Peng Xiaoran, and Zhang Yijun also returned to their rooms.
Just as Li Chuan was about to start practicing diligently, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a WeChat message from Peng Xiaoran.
"Chuan, can I come over to your place and sleep for a while?"
Recalling the tender little feet of this young housewife, Li Chuan's breath instantly became heavy.
It was almost midnight; she wanted to come to his room and sleep for a while?
This was way too bold!
Clearly, this young housewife must be into him.
Speaking of which, he did have a liking for married women. Having a few confidantes in a place as unfamiliar as Wulin County was indeed a good choice.
However, he wasn't one to take on just anyone.
Even in making friends, one had to consider the other person's character, right?
If he made friends with someone of low character, it would be disgusting.
Li Chuan's criteria for choosing a dual cultivation partner would be very strict in the future.
So, Li Chuan ignored the message and chose to continue his cultivation.
A moment later, perhaps fifty seconds had passed, Peng Xiaoran retracted the message and then sent another one: "Sorry, sent it to the wrong person."
Looking at the message, Li Chuan's face showed a playful expression.
He then placed the phone aside and focused on his cultivation.
The time spent practicing passed quickly, and before he knew it, dawn had arrived.
When Li Chuan walked out of the room, Lv Wenbin was already getting ready to leave.
Because he had to drive over forty kilometers to work every day, Lv Wenbin would always leave early.
For Lv Wenbin, work was everything. He was entirely focused on his career, eager to achieve success and climb up the ladder!
Seeing Li Chuan, Lv Wenbin nodded as a greeting, then turned and left.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Li Chuan saw Zhang Yijun walking out in a spaghetti-strap nightgown, her hair still a fluffy mess, evidently not quite awake yet.
"Li Chuan, you're up early."
Upon seeing Li Chuan, Zhang Yijun yawned and stretched, causing her chest to jiggle enticingly.
Li Chuan: "What do you want to eat for breakfast? Want to eat together?"
Zhang Yijun: "No time, I'm heading to work later. I'll grab something to eat on the way."
Saying that, Zhang Yijun walked into the bathroom to wash up.
At this moment, Peng Xiaoran walked out, still wearing the tight short-sleeve top and hip-hugging shorts from last night, her figure looking irresistibly alluring.
"Li Chuan, Yijun doesn't eat breakfast at home. If you're eating at home, Sister will cook some noodles for you later." Peng Xiaoran said as she poured a glass of water in the kitchen, drinking it with such urgency that it trailed down the corner of her mouth, dripping onto her shirt, adding to her allure.
Shortly after, Zhang Yijun, having finished freshening up, walked out, changed her clothes, and headed to work. It was clear that this young woman was very efficient in her actions.
Only until then did Peng Xiaoran leisurely finish her glass of water, then walked into the bathroom to wash up.
When Peng Xiaoran came out after washing up, she looked much more refined and charming, her previously sleepy eyes now sparkling: "Chuan, what kind of noodles do you like? I'll make some for you."
Li Chuan: "Anything is fine, plain, seafood, or clear soup is okay."
Peng Xiaoran nodded with a smile, then went into the kitchen. While cooking noodles, she added, "So, how was it? Was it your first night here yesterday, and did you get used to it?"
Li Chuan: "Yes, it was comfortable."
Peng Xiaoran: "Do you want to know what message I sent you yesterday?"
Li Chuan laughed: "Didn't you say it wasn't meant for me?"
Peng Xiaoran turned her head, playfully glancing at Li Chuan, without continuing the conversation. She began adding water to cook the noodles, her slender waist and round, perky hips swaying before Li Chuan's eyes, like walking hormones, keeping his gaze fixed.
Seeing Peng Xiaoran pick up a bitter melon, about to make bitter melon and black fungus stir-fried meat, Li Chuan hurriedly said: "Sister Xiaoran, please don't add the bitter melon. I don't really like the taste."
Peng Xiaoran: "Why? You don't like it?"
Li Chuan was a bit embarrassed: "Um, bitter melon, cucumber, and eggplant—I don't really like vegetables of this shape."
Actually, Li Chuan didn't dislike them. Growing up, they were planted in his fields and he ate them almost every day.
But ever since moving to his sister-in-law's house, Li Chuan stopped liking these three types of vegetables.
Because every time he saw them, he would think of the scenes where his confidantes used them.
Peng Xiaoran didn't expect Li Chuan to answer this way, her face flushing: "That's quite a peculiar habit."
Li Chuan: "Is it odd? It's not too bad, everyone has some habits."
Peng Xiaoran nodded, not saying anything further, continuing to prepare breakfast.
Shortly after, two bowls of egg and vegetable noodles with a side dish of black fungus stir-fried meat were served, and the aroma was quite inviting.
Li Chuan and Peng Xiaoran sat across from each other, starting their breakfast.
Before long, Peng Xiaoran's soft foot made its way to Li Chuan's foot again, and then ventured into his shorts.
Li Chuan: "..."
He was at a loss for words. Was this woman too eager?
Why was she trying to seduce him every day?
He looked up at Peng Xiaoran, seeing her savoring her noodles with that sexy little mouth, her face already flushed.
And yet, her foot didn't stop moving.
"Ding dong."
Morning was the time for Yang Qi to be active, and Li Chuan quickly reacted.
Just as the atmosphere turned increasingly suggestive, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Peng Xiaoran shuddered and quickly pulled her foot back.
Simultaneously, the door opened, and Zhang Yijun rushed in.
"Silly me, left in such a hurry, forgot my bag!"
Saying that, she grabbed her bag from the sofa and hurried back out.
Li Chuan finished the soup in his bowl: "All done."
Saying that, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks, walked into the kitchen, washed them, and put them back in the sterilizer.
Despite Peng Xiaoran's teasing, Li Chuan didn't respond immediately.
As a qualified player, he had his own principles of conduct.
Neither rejecting nor accepting.
Neither taking responsibility nor being perfunctory.
On the contrary, Peng Xiaoran very much enjoyed Li Chuan's indifference, watching Li Chuan's retreating figure, she felt a tingling sensation inside.
It was like a swarm of little ants crawling!
