The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 192 I have an appointment... later!

"Tell me! What's the matter?" Yue Lao said directly to the point.

"Master, I came back to ask for a favor..." Li Jian replied.

Yue Lao had just been annoyed by Xia Yu and had a headache. When he heard Li Jian speak so seriously, he relaxed a little and asked him, "What can I do for you?"

Li Jian stole a glance at Yue Lao's expression and said cautiously, "Can I borrow Master's 'Love Water' for a while?"

"Borrow the 'Love Water'?"

Yue Lao was shocked: "You are the 'Gods of Marriage'. You came to earth to 'send marriages' to those who are destined to be together, not to 'break up marriages'."

"Master, this is a long story..." Li Jian said with difficulty.

Yue Lao didn't care about that. He lay down on the chair and said, "Then just keep it short."

"Master, this is what happened. Not long ago, my junior sister came to me and told me about her encounter with the princess of the underworld in the mortal world..."

Just as Xia Yu had convinced him, he also told Yue Lao the whole story and successfully convinced him.

Finally, Li Jian also asked Yue Lao about the "summer rain". Yue Lao said that Taishang Laojun promised not to tell the Queen Mother for the time being.

What he meant was that if this matter was discovered by the Queen Mother one day and investigated, he would not protect Xia Yu.

"Second Brother, you are so awesome!" Xia Yu clapped his hands happily.

"You, please stop causing trouble and complete your mission quickly so that you can return to heaven as soon as possible! In order to plead for you, Master gave all of his treasured wine to Taishang Laojun."

"I know..." Xia Yu felt extremely guilty.

As for the "Love Water", Li Jian did not show this scene to Xia Yu.

At that time, Yue Lao gave him two bottles of "Forget Love Water" and two bottles of antidote, hoping that they could take care of and supervise each other in the mortal world.

Li Jian only gave Xia Yu one bottle of "Forget Love Water", and the other bottle and two bottles of antidote were in his hands. He did not mention this matter and did not plan to give it to Xia Yu.

"This time, thanks to your help, Second Brother. How can I thank you?" Xia Yu said happily.

After hearing this, Li Jian pretended to think about it and said with a smile: "Well... I don't need your help for now, so you can owe it to me first. I'll come to you when I need it in the future."

Xia Yu bowed deeply to Li Jian and said solemnly, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother."

This time, it’s all thanks to Second Brother!

"Now, you should concentrate on matching the destined ones, right?" Li Jian asked.

Xia Yu nodded heavily and replied, "Of course."

Before I knew it, it was time for dinner again.

Remembering that Xia Yu loved to eat "barbecue" from the mortal world, Li Jian conjured up another table in the yard. However, before he could say "invite Xia Yu to dinner", Xia Yu refused.

"Second Brother, I have an appointment, so I won't be having dinner at your place!"

"Have you made an appointment with someone? Land?" Li Jian didn't care what Xia Yu said. He sat down at the table by himself and started grilling the meat.

Xia Yu shook his head: "No."

"Qu Si Ning?" Li Jian asked again.

"It's not..."

Li Jian had already guessed Xia Yu's hesitant expression.

"Okay, I get it, go ahead!"

Hmm? That's...

Xia Yu looked at Li Jian in a daze: "Second Brother... why didn't you ask?"

Li Jian turned over the barbecue in the pot and said calmly: "Isn't it Luo Fan?" "..." Xia Yu suddenly fell silent.

Before leaving, Xia Yu said thank you to Li Jian for the last time.

After a while, Li Jian had already grilled a piece of the best lean meat. He picked it up with chopsticks and fed it to Xia Yu, saying softly, "Senior Brother grilled it for you personally. Try a piece before you leave!"

Xia Yu didn't think much about it. He ate the piece of barbecue with a smile. After saying "thank you" repeatedly, he turned around and disappeared.

……

Luo Fan worked overtime today and just sent a message saying that he would be able to finish the work soon.

Xia Yu couldn't wait to tell Luo Fan about Yan Lan's return to the underworld, and ran directly to the door of his company to pick him up.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Luo Fan came out, but Xie Shiyi was following him.

Why is she here?
"Luo Fan, from now on, we are colleagues, please take care of me!"

Xie Shiyi suddenly smiled and stopped in front of Luo Fan. After that, she stretched out her right hand to shake hands with Luo Fan.

Luo Fan smiled politely, but his hands did not move, as if he was automatically avoiding suspicion and did not want to shake hands with Xie Shiyi.

All the people coming in and out were colleagues, and with so many people staring at them, Luo Fan didn't extend his hand, and Xie Shiyi also smiled and didn't stop, making the scene awkward for a while.

"What? Is it not possible for colleagues to 'shake hands'?" Xie Shiyi deliberately spoke very loudly.

Why not?
Whenever Luo Fan goes on a business trip to meet clients, "handshake" is a basic etiquette that cannot be avoided.

"Miss Xie, don't worry. My brother Fan already has a girlfriend, so he wants to avoid suspicion."

At the critical moment, Zhou Hai and Luo Ke suddenly chased out together.

Luo Ke never expected that Xie Shiyi would give up the opportunity to go to school to work. She was so infatuated with him that she couldn't bear it, so she deliberately came out late.

Zhou Hai's words helped Luo Fan out of the predicament, and Luo Fan just nodded in agreement.

Xie Shiyi also heard that Luo Fan took Xia Yu to the cafeteria for lunch, so she came to the company for the interview regardless of anything else.

She is not reconciled!

It was obviously she who met Luo Fan first, so why did Xia Yu get the advantage?

"We are all colleagues. 'Handshake' is just a courtesy. Do you avoid suspicion when you meet clients?" Xie Shiyi became more and more frustrated as she spoke. As if she was deliberately saying this for her colleagues to hear, she slowly lowered her head and said, "Yeah, I'm just a newcomer. It's normal for you to look down on me."

"Team Leader Luo, isn't it just a 'handshake'? Why are you making the girl so embarrassed?"

"That's right, your girlfriend wouldn't be so stingy, right?"

"Hey, Team Leader Luo, this is your fault. The girl just arrived, and we should all shake hands with her. Besides, she is your intern, so don't embarrass her like this."

A few colleagues passing by couldn't bear to see this and couldn't help but give Luo Fan some advice.

Luo Ke and Xie Shiyi have the same educational background. Luo Ke was appointed manager right after the interview, while Xie Shiyi actually recommended herself... to be an intern in Luo Fan's group!
"I did not mean that."

Rumors can make a person appear guilty. Even if Luo Fan didn't mean it that way, it would become true if people added fuel to the fire.

Xie Shiyi still stretched out her right hand, and even though her arm was sore, she refused to put it down.

Out of desperation, Luo Fan finally slowly stretched out his left hand, ready to "shake hands" with Xie Shiyi.

Xia Yu saw this scene from a distance and remembered the way Xie Shiyi fell into Luo Fan's arms in the haunted house.

Just when the two were about to hold hands, Xia Yu suddenly appeared and grabbed Luo Fan's outstretched left hand.

"Little..." Luo Fan was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows lit up with joy and he asked Xia Yu with a smile: "Why are you here?"

Xia Yu ignored Xie Shiyi's red eyes the whole time, looked at Luo Fan, and imitated Xie Shiyi's tone, and replied softly: "I'll pick you up after get off work."
