Chapter 438: Acting Pull,
Long Aotian took the pill and confidently walked down the steps.
He saw Xu Xuejiao standing by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
Today, Xu Xuejiao looked a little different from usual.
She was wearing a backless evening dress. From behind, her beautiful butterfly bones slightly protruded, making her look slender, but also bringing with it a youthful girl's shyness and purity.
That slim waist, those long legs, the elegant dress, paired with her melancholic figure… truly made any man who saw her feel tender affection at first sight.
Xu Xuejiao was like a pure white lotus flower, so pure, so flawless, just like a piece of crystal jade, without a single blemish.
Long Aotian walked down: "Xuejiao."
Xu Xuejiao turned her head: "Brother Long."
"What are you thinking about?" Long Aotian walked over and tried to take her hand, but Xu Xuejiao avoided him.
Xu Xuejiao walked to the other side of the table, looking a bit upset: "Nothing."
"Are you scared?"
Xu Xuejiao raised her head, looked at Long Aotian, and slowly nodded: "I did think about being with you today, but… when it really came down to it, I…"
Long Aotian smiled: "Xuejiao, don't be afraid, I'll treat you well."
"You say that, but I… I'm still very scared."
Long Aotian nodded gently and didn't push too hard:
"Xuejiao-meimei, this is your first time, you don't have any experience—being nervous and scared is understandable."
"Do you have a lot of experience?"
Long Aotian coughed: "Not a lot, but enough to be your teacher."
Long Aotian (in his mind): What experience do I even have? I've been cultivating since I was young. I just arrived at Tian Si Men and finally had a chance to indulge, but then my shifu muddled things up again…
Anyway, I took the Dragon and Tiger Strength Pill today, I'm bound to dominate.
Hehe, innocent little lamb, just wait for your gege to feast tonight!
Xu Xuejiao (thinking): This pill's effect release time seems a bit long… I need to stall a little longer.
Speaking of which, Zhao Ritian wouldn't chicken out and not show up, right?
No, based on what I know of him, that guy is tough and definitely the type to seek revenge.
Even if Zhao Ritian doesn't come, as long as I stall until the drug takes full effect—hmph, this jiejie can still retreat fully intact.
I have to head back early. Otherwise, that cheap Qimei Shao will definitely go flirt with Brother Lu. If I'm late, I'll only get the leftovers!
Long Aotian was getting a bit anxious, but couldn't act too anxious.
Xu Xuejiao was in no rush at all—she just hoped the drug would kick in soon.
Finally, while chatting, Long Aotian's eyebrows furrowed.
Something's wrong!
Long Aotian started to notice something was off.
Why… does my stomach feel so uncomfortable?
No way I have to go to the bathroom right now, right?
Crap, it's getting worse!
At first, Long Aotian tried to hold it in, but in just a few minutes, he couldn't take it anymore.
"Xuejiao-meimei, sit for a moment. I need to go upstairs quickly."
He pretended to act very natural.
But who was Xu Xuejiao? How could she not know what was going on with him?
As the saying goes: if the enemy advances, I retreat; if the enemy retreats, I pursue; if the enemy is tired, I harass; if the enemy fails… I humiliate…
Just now it was you taking the initiative. Now, it's my turn.
Xu Xuejiao immediately said, "Gege, I've made up my mind. You don't have to avoid me. I'm willing. Let's… begin."
Long Aotian: This is so awkward!
"Uh… Xuejiao-meimei, just sit down for a sec. I'll be right back."
"Brother Long, is it because I'm not pretty enough?"
"No no no, you're very pretty. It's just that I… I… I'm just going to the bathroom real quick to calm down."
"Don't calm down. We must act on impulse! Once we calm down in this kind of thing, we lose our courage!"
"Yes, I… I know that only by being impulsive can we… complete this matter. But right now, I… Just sit here a second. I'll be right back."
Saying that, he immediately stood up, ignored all of Xu Xuejiao's attempts to stop him, and dashed straight to the bathroom on the second floor.
Ugh!
His stomach twisted in pain!
Long Aotian cursed—there was definitely something wrong with tonight's meat! Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this!
Damn it! Of all days, why today? Xu Xuejiao was already prepared! I even took the pill!
Please, please, let me get through this smoothly!
When he came back out, Long Aotian let out a sigh of relief: "Xuejiao-meimei, I'm ready now."
But Xu Xuejiao started pulling on him again: "Brother Long, can you watch the moon with me for a bit?"
Long Aotian was dying of urgency: "What's there to see in the moon? That thing's visible every day. Let's just get started already."
Xu Xuejiao turned her head: "We're not even together yet, and you're already losing patience with me."
"Aiya, that's not it. I'm just… I… Fine, fine. Let's look at the moon for a few minutes. After that, we start, okay?"
"Brother Long, why are you always hot and cold with me? One moment you're patient, the next you're not. One moment you swear you trust me, and then you constantly suspect and doubt everything I do… Like this, I really don't feel safe at all."
"That's not it, I'm sorry." Long Aotian said, "Everything before was my fault. Please forgive me. I just cared too much about you."
"But caring about someone isn't like that. When you care about someone, you should trust her, support her, love her, protect her..."
Long Aotian held his stomach. "Alright, you watch the moon first, I'll go upstairs real quick."
Xu Xuejiao grabbed him: "What moon? Let's start now!"
"Ah? Right now?"
"Yes, right now. Under the moonlight, in the music, among the flowers, inside this romantic house... you and I, let's entrust ourselves to each other right now."
Long Aotian gently pushed her hand away: "How about this, let me go up one more time, just wait a bit, I'll be right back."
"No!" Xu Xuejiao got anxious: "I told you to look at the moon and you didn't, you just... had to do that. Now I've finally gathered the courage, and you want to leave again? What exactly are you trying to do?"
Long Aotian thought to himself: Can I even tell you?
What if I said, sorry Xuejiao meimei, I have to poop, and it's most likely going to be diarrhea?
How embarrassing would that be!?
What a mood killer!
"Wait for me, wait okay? I'll come back and we'll start immediately!"
Long Aotian rushed upstairs to handle it.
And then the pain lasted a whole ten minutes.
Long Aotian's legs were already starting to go weak, and when he came down he was out of breath: "Xuejiao meimei, we can... begin now."
"Long gege, do you really like me?"
"I do." Long Aotian said, "Didn't I just say we'd start when I came down? Can we not chat anymore? Hurry, I'm on a tight schedule."
"What!?" Xu Xuejiao said in shock: "This kind of thing, and you say you're in a rush? What do you take me for?"
"No no, that's not what I meant, I really... this situation is just... Let's stop talking and just start right away."
"You're awful! How can I trust you like this? Will you still cherish me in the future? Will you still care about me? Or will you think I'm a bad woman?"
"No no I won't, Xuejiao meimei, we really need to hurry, I... I've got a bit of a situation here."
Xu Xuejiao turned around: "No! I want to hear your sincerity first."
Long Aotian raised his hand and swore: "I, Long Aotian, will definitely cherish Xuejiao meimei, respect Xuejiao meimei, treat meimei like a celestial maiden, like a saintess, like a perfect girl with all seriousness. If I break this vow, may the heavens strike me down! Meimei, is this enough?"
Xu Xuejiao said: "Then... in the future, will you fall in love with another woman?"
Long Aotian was dumbfounded!
Why is it that when I'm feeling okay, you drag me into these deep talks?
But every time I'm on the edge and really need to go to the bathroom, that's when you suddenly get all courageous!?
What the hell!?
Long Aotian was super frustrated: "Absolutely not. But I really need to go upstairs again."
Xu Xuejiao looked at him, shocked: "I'm already ready, and now you want to leave again? No! I won't let you leave! You have to stay here with me now!"
Long Aotian held his stomach, eyes full of tears: "Xuejiao meimei, you missed the timing just now. I really have to go upstairs now, I'm sorry."
After saying that, he ignored Xu Xuejiao's attempt to stop him and rushed up to the second floor.
Xu Xuejiao held back her laughter as she started planning the next round of dramatic pulling when he came back.
After several rounds of struggle, Long Aotian came out of the bathroom again, his legs shaking.
He held onto the railing, weakly walking down: "Xuejiao meimei, how about we just forget it today. I think I'm sick..."
Then he suddenly felt something was off: "You go back on your own. I'm going to the bathroom again."
He turned around and ran away.
Zhao Ritian arrived.
He rushed into the hall and was shocked to see Xu Xuejiao.
"Xuejiao meimei, why are you here?"
Xu Xuejiao lowered her head and gave a miserable smile: "It's nothing. What about you? Why are you here?"
Zhao Ritian said: "Did Long Aotian try to bully you?"
Xu Xuejiao said: "What's the difference between being bullied by him and being bullied by you? You're both big shots, I can't afford to offend either of you."
Zhao Ritian stomped his feet in anger: "I knew it! That bastard must've pressured you! But don't worry, I'm here to save you!"
Xu Xuejiao looked at him: "Save me? Why? Am I worth it? What about me makes you want to do that?"
"Because I like you!" Zhao Ritian said, "We're meant to be together by the heavens. From the moment I first saw you, I've liked you!"
Xu Xuejiao gave a sorrowful smile, tears circling in her eyes:
"Thank you... but you should leave now. You can't beat Long Aotian, he's too powerful, no one can defeat him."
Hearing that made Zhao Ritian even angrier.
"Xuejiao meimei, if I don't beat him so bad he gets diarrhea today, I won't be called Zhao Ritian!"
Xu Xuejiao stood up, walked in front of him, showing that expression where she's obviously about to cry, but tries so hard not to cry, not to let Zhao Ritian see her sadness!
And that her acting was all to protect Zhao Ritian, so he wouldn't clash with Long Aotian.
Sacrificing herself to protect Zhao Ritian — such a complex, high-level kind of acting.
Zhao Ritian's brain didn't have much to spare to begin with.
He's just a country bumpkin — how could he have ever seen acting this rich, this real, this complex and full of emotional layers?
Xu Xuejiao's state made him absolutely believe: Long Aotian isn't human!
It's him who forced Xuejiao meimei!
So I must rescue Xuejiao meimei, I must beat Long Aotian until he has diarrhea!
Long Aotian was nearly drained from all the pooping.
His whole body was drenched in sweat, and just then, the bathroom door was kicked open.
Zhao Ritian stood at the door, pointed at him powerfully: "Long Aotian, how dare you... poop!"
