Back at the elderly man's villa, he originally intended to be polite to Xiang Yu, hoping that he wouldn't feel constrained after settling in.
But Xiang Yu was naturally at ease and, before the elderly man could speak, boldly sat on the sofa and even asked the staff to bring some fruit.
The elderly man simply smiled at Xiang Yu's behavior and didn't say much.
Gao Mantang, on the other hand, frowned and kept signaling to Xiang Yu with his eyes, hoping he wouldn't cause trouble.
Xiang Yu pretended not to notice and made himself at home, eating and drinking as he pleased.
The elderly man prepared a room for Xiang Yu, hoping he'd stay the night.
Xiang Yu was unapologetic and went straight to the room to wash up and then went to sleep.
The next morning, Xiang Yu woke up early and started his morning exercise. He hadn't trained for several days, and his body felt a bit rusty.
When Xiang Yu finished a lap and returned, he saw the elderly man slowly practicing Tai Chi there.
