Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 222 Riding the Flying Immortal to Soar Through the Skies
Su Yi and Xia An don't eat durian, but Tang Wan eats everything.

Durian is considered to have a warming effect, promoting blood circulation and reducing coldness, so Zhou Zhou can eat it.

After Huang Yingying's halting narration and Zhou Zhou's occasional supplementary remarks, Xia An learned about Huang Yingying's past resume.

There's nothing particularly special about him. His family was poor, and he learned Cai Family Kung Fu from the Teochew people in Malaysia when he was young. He went out to work at a young age, and because of his good skills, he went from being a parking lot security guard to a casino bodyguard.

During their conversation, a nurse came in to give Zhou Zhou his medicine. Her first reaction was to frown and mutter that the toilet might be clogged. Later, Zhou Zhou pulled her to eat a piece of durian.

Xia An asked Huang Yingying why she decided to come to China. Huang Yingying said that her family told her that China is developing rapidly and they had originally planned to send her here to work.

Xia An nodded, "You're quite knowledgeable."

"Show me your skills?" he asked calmly.

Huang Yingying agreed, and then performed a set of boxing moves by the hospital bedside, which surprised Tang Wan and Su Yi so much that they clapped their hands repeatedly.

Xia An stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Come on, give me a punch, let me see how strong you are."

Huang Yingying shook her head in surprise: "No, you can't handle it."

As he spoke, he walked to the sofa, picked up a sofa cushion and a glass, folded the cushion up to cover the glass, and handed it to Xia An.

"Take this."

Xia An raised it.

Huang Yingying clenched her fist, and without any apparent effort, lightly but extremely quickly slammed it onto the cushion. Xia An barely felt any force, but when she unfolded the sofa cushion again, the cup inside had already shattered into pieces.

Tang Wan and Su Yi chimed in excitedly from the sidelines.

"Wow! Hitting a cow from across the mountain?" Xia An exclaimed in surprise.

Huang Yingying smiled shyly: "Mm."

Xia An asked, "Are the other three as skilled as you?"

Huang Yingying said it was about the same.

Xia An asked, "And his personality?"

Huang Yingying said, "They all have good personalities, but their Chinese isn't as good as mine."

"Let's have dinner together tonight. I'll treat you to a welcome dinner so you can get to know each other better."

"Ah."

A bodyguard is more important than a driver. Once hired, you have to treat them like family. This is a matter of life and death, especially concerning Tang Xiaowan. Xia An cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.

During dinner, Xia An enthusiastically poured wine for the four plainly dressed girls and introduced them to local customs and traditions.

At the dinner table, Su Yi whispered to Tang Wan, "They must think he's the employer."

Tang Wan looked blissful.

Ultimately, the five-person team was formed with Zhou Zhou as captain and Huang Yingying as vice-captain. The captain is currently recovering from battle damage, and the vice-captain is temporarily acting as captain.

Su Yi really liked Huang Yingying, this shy little girl, and offered to take them shopping for clothes the next day.

Xia An found it strange that Su Yi seemed to really enjoy taking people shopping for clothes.

So, Huang Yingying and the other three took office the next day and officially moved into the villa.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Wan dragged Xia An to the temple to worship the God of Wealth, taking over the work from Zuo You and Wei Xiaofang.

Before offering incense, Tang Wan wouldn't even let Xia An hold her hand. After leaving the temple, on a secluded mountain road, Xia An chased Huang Yingying away and told her to go to the car behind.

The Maybach was parked by the roadside and soon began to vibrate violently.

Huang Yingying said to her three girlfriends in the car, "They are different from those lecherous bosses abroad. The two of them are a couple."

The other three nodded repeatedly: "They're a perfect match."

With the listing imminent, Tang Wan went to the Provincial Party Committee Office in the afternoon to receive instructions from the leaders.

When Xia An returned home, Zuo You immediately smelled his unique fragrance. She curled her little nose and sniffed around him like a kitten, then looked up at him meaningfully.

Just as Xia An was about to make up an excuse, Zuo You smiled and said, "Go take a shower, you still have incense ash on you." There was no need to go to the hospital tonight. Xia An had some drinks with Zuo Dashu during dinner. When they came out of the restaurant, it started snowing outside. Xia An pulled Zuo You and strolled around in the yard.

Little Youzi wore a thick red wool scarf, and under her white down jacket was the red sweater she had changed into in the first year of junior high school. She was being hugged by Xia An like a plum blossom.

On the small stone table under the persimmon tree, a layer of snow had accumulated. Xia An wiped it off with his hand, sat down on it, and put his arm around Zuo You.

Neither of them spoke, quietly enjoying the snowy night.

Lights were on in several windows on the second floor, and the faint sound of a television could be heard coming from them.

Little Yuzi stretched out her hand and gestured the distance between the two windows, then smiled and showed Xia An two fingers.

"From childhood to adulthood, the two of us have only been this far apart."

"Now even such a short distance has disappeared."

Zuo You said, "I learned in class that when two lines intersect, they go further and further apart, is that true?"

Xia An said, "That refers to two straight lines. We are like two winding yarns that keep intersecting."

Zuo You asked, puzzled, "Where is it bent?"

"I'm crooked, don't you know that? You yourself are crooked too, I know that best."

Zuo You bit her lip and stared at him intently, finally letting out a sigh.

"You're getting more and more indecent. What a nice atmosphere, and you have to start making suggestive remarks."

Xia An nuzzled her cheek and said, "Tell me if you're feeling down, and I'll comfort you."

Zuo You shook her head. "I'm not feeling too uncomfortable."

Xia An quietly held her.

Zuo You reached out and caught a few snowflakes, saying, "No matter how capable you are, I will still keep an eye on you after we get married, and you are not allowed to disobey me."

Xia An said, "I will definitely listen."

The two went upstairs to Youzi's bedroom. A faint fragrance wafted out as soon as they opened the door. Zuo Youzi took out the bracelet from the drawer and asked Xia An to help her put it on.

She said, "I won't pick them anymore."

She used to be reluctant to part with jewelry, but not anymore. Xia An told her that no matter how expensive the jewelry is, it is just an embellishment and loses its value when it is placed in a box.

Therefore, she also plans to firmly pursue her career in the entertainment industry, become dazzling, and let everyone see how well-matched they are.

Xia Kangning said that knowledge cannot be obtained suddenly, so he entrusted his lingering thoughts to the mournful wind.

Xia An desires to soar among the immortals and live forever under the bright moon.

Before leaving, he disregarded Xiaoyouzi's resistance and forcibly lifted the red sweater, revealing two soft, bright moons.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Grandma Lin's vital signs stabilized, and she was ready to go home.

By the time the ambulance arrived at the mountain, Old Luo had already prepared his first pot of herbal medicine.

The simple prefab house that was originally built when the well was dug behind the courtyard was not demolished, but replaced with a brick bungalow, which stands alone on the side like a side room, where Old Luo lives.

The backyard is quite large. Lin Jiajia arranged for people to pick a few plum trees, which connect to the peach orchard. The golden retriever has been playing wildly with Old Man Luo these past few days.

Xia An isn't leaving tonight; firstly, to keep Lin Jiajia company, and secondly, to learn about health preservation from the old man over the next few days.

He brewed two pounds of his "protective medicine," enough for two days. He drank one packet after lunch; it was incredibly bitter and had a slightly spicy taste.

The old man said that starting today, Xia An shouldn't eat anything cold. "Try it, three days, and I guarantee it will work."

It was completely useless. After three days, Xia An started to have a reaction after taking the second bag after dinner.

On the already scorching hot kang (heated brick bed), he tossed and turned, unable to sleep. His whole body was burning with heat, and a restless, uncontrollable urge kept growing within him.

He wanted to go down the mountain to find Tang Wan.
