Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

"Then you can see each other every day. She's in this hotel. Do you want me to play matchmaker for you two?"

The old lady stopped caring about whether she would be exposed for a moment.

She had been worried that her granddaughter, Tang Youyou, would see her secretly following her to the hotel, but now she didn't care anymore.

With such a wonderful boy right in front of her, it would be a terrible dereliction of duty for her as a grandmother to just watch him slip away.

So, in the face of his granddaughter's happiness, does it even matter whether he exposes himself or not?

"This is good."

The old man who had been very displeased with Jiang Nian and even threatened her earlier, demanding that she keep her distance, now had his eyes shining. He looked at Jiang Nian as if she were a rare treasure, nodding repeatedly, clearly agreeing with his wife's statement.

It turns out this young man really is as outstanding as he appears on the surface; he is indeed a handsome and talented man.

At this moment, the old man was also thinking about how to help his granddaughter.

Hearing what the elderly couple said, Jiang Nian could only smile wryly.

I can't very well say to myself, "You don't need to worry, your granddaughter is thinking about how to throw herself into my arms."

"Grandma, thank you for your kindness, but I'm not thinking about having a girlfriend right now."

Jiang Nian explained.

"Alright alright."

This old lady was, after all, a Chinese language teacher, and she was very understanding.

Because she has read at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, books, three-quarters of which are about love stories.

Therefore, she is most adept at handling matters of love, understanding what Jiang Nian meant, yet she did not give up.

Instead, he smiled and said:

"Alright, young man, how about this, you chat with my granddaughter first. If you feel good about it, you two can get to know each other better, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nian nodded.

Seeing this, the old lady finally released Jiang Nian. For a moment, Jiang Nian felt even more exhausted than when he dealt with the Northern Indians.

When the old man next to him saw his wife release Jiang Nian so easily, he immediately opened his mouth to speak.

Keep in mind that almost twenty minutes have passed since we met.

But the old man only said...

"This is good."

Three words, and then no more.

But now they're in such a hurry, it's like they're about to launch into a long speech.

Jiang Nian didn't give him that chance. He waved his hand with a smile, and without relaxing his legs, he immediately took a quick step and ran out. In the blink of an eye, he had run more than a hundred meters away from the old couple and quickly disappeared from their sight.

"It's great to be young."

The old lady watched Jiang Nian's departing figure, her heart filled with emotion, her eyes brimming with joy.

Because at this moment, both of them were focused on how to make Jiang Nian their son-in-law.

So they didn't realize that Jiang Nian's escape speed was unusually fast, something no normal person could do, it was simply outrageous.

Keep in mind that he ran 100 meters in just over two seconds. This means that if Jiang Nian were to participate in a world competition now, he could immediately break the Guinness World Record, and winning multiple world championships would be a piece of cake.

Finally able to exercise in peace, Jiang Nian quickly completed his planned route, having unknowingly run twenty kilometers.

For Jiang Nian, not to mention 20 kilometers, even 200 kilometers would be no problem.

But everything has to be done step by step. Besides, with Jiang Nian's current physical condition, even if he ran 200 kilometers, it wouldn't really help him much. The main thing is to comprehend the cultivation technique.

Although 20 kilometers a day is not much.

But what if we put it over a hundred days, a thousand days, or ten thousand days?
The total is not a small number.

Jiang Nian's lifespan is at least four or five hundred years, so there's no need to worry about his lifespan at all. Why be so concerned about the present moment?

Meanwhile, Tang Youyou, who was huddled in bed in the hotel, waited for a long time but still didn't receive a reply from Jiang Nian. Slowly, she felt a little breathless in bed and curiously poked her head out from under the covers.

Then, looking at the cold, deserted screen on her phone, she felt a sudden pang of disappointment, her lips trembled, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Teacher Jiang Nian, does this mean you're rejecting me?"

Tang Youyou was heartbroken. In an instant, she felt as if she had just lost a lover, and she was in great pain.

Tang Youyou, who was sobbing uncontrollably, suddenly sat up abruptly, patted her face, and said seriously:
"How could I be defeated so easily?"

I already knew that Teacher Jiang would reject me, didn't I?

With my looks and abilities, how could I possibly catch Teacher Jiang Nian's eye? Wasn't this something I already told myself?

Tang Youyou slapped her face hard, making two crisp slapping sounds.

She really didn't hold back just now, slapping herself until her face was slightly red, with a faint red handprint on both sides of her face.

Tang Youyou covered her face and gently rubbed it, but her mood improved a lot, and she didn't let the tears in her eyes fall.

Jingle Bell!
Jingle Bell!
Suddenly, an old-fashioned ringtone sounded. Tang Youyou looked curiously and found that it was her roommate Hu Yifei calling.

"Hey, Feifei."

After answering the phone, Tang Youyou pretended not to be sad and made her tone sound calm.

She hung up the phone and then glanced at the time; it was only six in the morning.

In the past, Hu Yifei would definitely still be sleeping in at this time. No matter how outstanding she is or how early she gets up, it would still be after seven o'clock. What happened today? Did the sun rise in the west?

"Youyou, why are you crying?"

On the other hand, Hu Yifei, who was lying idly on her bed in the dormitory, staring curiously at Tang Youyou's empty bed, listened to the tearful voice coming from the phone and said worriedly.

This morning, the first thing she did when she woke up was to feel the urge to urinate, and then she instinctively called out:
"Youyou, turn on the light."

After calling for a long time, there was still no response.

Because she rarely wakes up before 7 a.m. naturally.

So he assumed he was woken up by the urge to urinate, and that it must have been seven o'clock.

And Tang Youyou will usually wake up around this time.

So she subconsciously asked Tang Youyou to turn on the light.

Because the light switch was right next to Youyou's hand, within easy reach.

After finding no response, she curiously turned on her flashlight and discovered that Tang Youyou was no longer on her bed. Hu Yifei was still puzzled:
"That's not right. She remembers very clearly that Tang Youyou specifically told her yesterday that she was going to film a big movie.

But she'll definitely be back tomorrow night.

Because the specific hotels may offer reimbursement.

However, there was a condition that she had to pay for it herself first, which naturally made her back out.

One or two days is fine.

But staying for three, four, or five days is simply not financially feasible for her. Besides, she hasn't even received payment for the commercial she just filmed for Xiao Zheng yet. Where is she going to get the money?

However, after meeting Jiang, she may have changed her mind. In order to make things more convenient, she made the difficult decision to book a room in a hotel.

But unexpectedly, it ended in failure.

But Tang Youyou didn't think much of it; she never regretted such trivial matters.

But it was precisely because she didn't go back that Hu Yifei couldn't help but worry. Hearing the obvious sobbing in the voice on the other end of the phone, Hu Yifei felt even more anxious.

"Feifei, you could tell?"

Tang Youyou's face was filled with disbelief. She had already tried to suppress her sobs and even spoke in a normal voice, so how could she still hear it?

"Feifei is amazing! She's not just a master of ninjutsu, she's a natural-born ninjutsu master."

At this moment, Hu Yifei hurriedly asked:

"Youyou, stop teasing me, tell me what happened?"

"Actually, it's nothing."

Tang Youyou smiled slightly, and then told Hu Yifei all the sad things in her heart. She told them everything in detail without embellishment, which is also a label that Tang Youyou has in everyone's mind - sincerity.

"Oh my, you've met Teacher Jiang Nian again! My goodness, this is so lucky! But to be honest, Teacher Jiang Nian is probably no longer interested in girls like us. Anyone who can be with him must be a top-tier person."

Hu Yifei sighed, but the next second she changed her tune and immediately shouted at the top of her lungs:
"But Youyou, what are you afraid of?"
Does a remarkable life need explanation?

You did the right thing. If you like someone, go for it. Even if you fail, you won't regret it.

It's okay. Just act like nothing happened today, continue filming on set, and communicate more with Teacher Jiang Nian about acting skills. Let him get to know you better, and maybe you'll have a chance.

And think about it.

If Mr. Jiang Nian truly had no interest in you, why would he proactively find your QQ number and add you? It must be because he has feelings for you, but is just too shy to express them. Perhaps Mr. Jiang Nian is an introverted person in private.

Could it be that way?

Tang Youyou said in surprise.

But a secret joy stirred within me, and I even silently hoped that the result would be true.

Hu Yifei could clearly sense that Tang Youyou's tone had become much more cheerful on the other end of the phone, and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.
"Little woman, I can't handle you."

Hu Yifei naturally didn't know Jiang Nian either.

But at this moment, she would naturally follow Tang Youyou's thoughts and immediately smiled and nodded, saying:

"Of course! When have I ever lied to you?"

Be brave and give it a try. Focus on filming today, and give it a shot after work. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Hu Yifei offered advice to Tang Youyou, believing that Tang Youyou's career was more important than love.

Since they are all college students who have just started their internships and still have a year before graduation, this is the best opportunity for them to secure acting opportunities.

If I don't gain any fame after graduation, I might not even be able to afford food or find a place to live.

Therefore, she was well aware that the most important thing at this time was not to be in a relationship but to focus on her career, even though love could provide a lifelong support.

But is that a likely possibility?
It's definitely almost impossible.

Therefore, Hu Yifei suggested that Tang Youyou focus on her career and prioritize acting.

Tang Youyou thought the same thing, and her eyes immediately hardened after being reminded of it:

"Yeah, how could I be so stupid? I was so scared just now that I almost didn't dare to go and film."

"Thank you, Feifei."

Tang Youyou thanked him with a smile, then hung up the phone after chatting with Hu Yifei for a few more minutes. She immediately washed up excitedly and got up early to go to the film set to get into character before filming. She wanted to give a good performance today.

Because she happens to have a scene with Jiang Nian today, Tang Youyou couldn't help but feel excited just thinking about it.

Meanwhile, Jiang Nian, who had finished his training, returned to the hotel. As he approached his room, he glanced at room 307, intending to use his divine sense to investigate.

But once you use your divine sense, it means you're probing into other people's privacy, and Jiang Nian doesn't have that kind of perverse sense of humor to do that.

So, not knowing Tang Youyou's current situation, Jiang Nian shook his head, went straight into his room, took a cold shower, and changed his clothes.

I glanced at the time and it was already 7:30. There was still half an hour before the film set's required arrival time of 8:00. It only took three minutes to walk from the hotel to the set.

Because the hotel is located right next to the film set, less than 1 kilometer away.

"Forget it, let's just ask that girl to come along."

Originally planning to set off alone, Jiang Nian thought about it and decided to ask Tang Youyou to come along.

After all, the young girl had specially stayed at this hotel to wait for him, and had even told him that her room was right next to his.

If I ignore this now, it will be so awkward when we meet. To be honest, I really don't want to waste time or get involved with such a good girl.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Nian took a deep breath and then walked to the door of room 307.

Jiang Nian was at a loss for words. He was a seasoned veteran in love, so why did he seem so timid and hesitant when facing a young girl who was just beginning to experience love? Was this really him?
He hardly recognizes himself anymore.
"That's strange. Could this be a characteristic I hadn't noticed before?"

Interesting. Jiang Nian's lips curled up. He suddenly realized that he had such an interesting quality. In front of a little girl, he could act like a boy experiencing his first love. This feeling was still novel and had not been felt for a long time.

Jiang Nian opened the door and walked out of the room, intending to head straight for Tang Youyou's room. However, he was stunned as soon as he stepped out the door.

Just then, Tang Youyou opened the door and took a step towards him, and the two stared at each other.

"Good morning, Teacher Jiang Nian!"

Tang Youyou suddenly stood at attention, placed her small hands in front of her hips, and shouted in a loud voice, full of energy.

"Oh... okay, good morning."

Jiang Nian stood there, stunned, and nodded blankly, muttering to himself:
"This isn't right, is it?"
Why do I feel like Tang Youyou is taking care of me? Even though I'm the one who stood her up.

Tang Youyou's face was serious, her eyes wide like saucers as she stared at him. She walked right up to him, the distance between them less than ten centimeters. (End of Chapter)
