Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"No, I'm with you because I like you."

Yang Xian said sincerely, "You do have some minor flaws, like being a bit domineering, a bit forceful, and you like to get physical..."

Jiang Mengyun's cheeks puffed out, as if she was a little unconvinced.

"But..." Yang Xian changed the subject.

There's a saying that goes like this: to like someone is to appreciate their strengths; to love someone is to accept their weaknesses.

"I'm willing to be with you just the way you are, to tolerate all your little temper tantrums and whims."

"Because in my eyes, these are not flaws, but your unique qualities."

After hearing what she said, Jiang Mengyun was completely stunned.

In those hazy, drunken eyes, the water shimmered even more brightly.

But this time it wasn't because I was sad, but because I was moved.

The girl's pretty face became even rosier at this moment.

"What nonsense are you spouting..."

Jiang Mengyun buried her face in Yang Xian's arms, her voice muffled.

She finally understood what Yang Xian was saying.

After saying all that... isn't it just that you like me?

[Ding! Detected a significant fluctuation in the emotions of the character 'Jiang Mengyun'!]

[Happy: Yang Xian really likes me! +300 points!]

[Current total points: 4500!]

After a while, Jiang Mengyun finally raised her head again, her little face flushed.

"So... what do you like about me?"

"I like……"

Just as Yang Xian was about to speak, a warm and soft index finger gently touched his lips.

"Sh-!"

Jiang Mengyun's eyes became hazy and alluring, and her other hand hooked around the back of Yang Xian's neck.

"Go to bed, and tell me slowly."

Yang Xian was taken aback.

Holy crap?

Is it really that direct?

However, the atmosphere has been built up to this point...

"Then... I shall respectfully accept your offer!"

The next second, Yang Xian used his arm to lift Jiang Mengyun up in a perfect princess carry.

The girl's body was very light, and my nose was filled with her fragrance, mixed with a hint of wine.

He walked toward the girl's boudoir.

The door was opened gently, and then closed gently again...

------

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Qingxue, what are you looking at so intently?"

A lively voice rang out behind her, startling Lin Qingxue, who quickly hid her phone behind her back.

"N-nothing!" she replied somewhat flusteredly.

"Oh my, you even hid it?"

A tall girl approached with a smile.

She had long, light flaxen hair, a small beauty mark under her eye, and was wearing a nightgown.

"Let me guess, are you secretly watching your boyfriend again?!"

"Come on, let me see it."

The girl's name is Xia Ming. She is one grade higher than Lin Qingxue and is now her roommate and team leader.

The two are now practically best friends.

Xia Ming was once the school beauty of Nanhai No.1 Middle School, but unfortunately, because her father was a gambler, she ended up with a lot of debt, and her parents divorced.

Her martial arts talent wasn't particularly outstanding, but she still managed to pass the test and join the martial arts class to help pay off her family's debts.

"Senior Xia Ming! You...you just love making fun of me!"

A blush crept onto Lin Qingxue's cheeks. "We...we are martial artists, we can't have boyfriends..."

As she finished speaking, her voice lowered, and a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

"Still not going to confess?" Xia Ming blinked.

"I'll let you in on a secret. I used to be a student at Nanhai No.1 Middle School too, one year ahead of you."

"You two got together in your freshman year, don't think I didn't know."

"Your boyfriend's name is Yang Xian, right? He's quite handsome. It's a pity I was thinking of pursuing martial arts back then, otherwise, I would definitely have made my move first!"

Hearing the name "Yang Xian" made Lin Qingxue feel a sharp pain in her heart.

She lowered her head and said softly, "The past is the past, and now we... we broke up a long time ago."

"Break up?" Xia Ming leaned closer. "I'm afraid you still can't forget her!"

"Let me guess, the reason for the breakup is because the martial arts lineage has died out, right?"

"Such a handsome man, I don't believe you can really bear to break up with him."

Xia Ming sighed, and the smile on his face faded a bit.

"Ugh—! This wretched world!"

"Why should becoming stronger mean losing your ability to have children?"

"Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, but we martial artists don't."

Lin Qingxue ignored her senior's rambling and silently looked out the window at the dark night sky.

If she could, she would like to stay by Yang Xian's side.

I'll accompany him to have many, many more babies.

I wonder how Yang Xian is doing now...

Did you eat properly?

Countless thoughts flashed through the girl's mind, but in the end they all turned into a silent sigh.

but……

With a girlfriend of Jiang Mengyun's caliber by his side, he should... need no worries from me, right?

I probably no longer have the right to worry about him.

"Feed, feed..."

Xia Ming waved his hand in front of Lin Qingxue's eyes.

"Look at you, so distracted, you can't even concentrate on what I'm saying?"

"Your lovesickness seems to be quite severe!"

"How about... I apply to my superiors to patrol Area A for the next mission?"

"That way, you might still have a chance to see your boyfriend again."

Lin Qingxue's shoulders trembled slightly, and she turned her head away, saying one thing but meaning another.

"Need not!"

"I don't want to see him."

"Besides..."

Lin Qingxue's fingers clenched the hem of her clothes, and her voice grew softer and softer.

"He's someone else's boyfriend now."

"I... think it's best not to interfere with his current life."

Xia Ming chuckled, reached out and pulled Lin Qingxue into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head.

"My Qingxue is so cute."

"He's just too stubborn."

"I'm going crazy with longing for it."

"However, if we have the chance, let's sneak off to meet your boyfriend."

"After all, it's not easy to see a handsome guy normally!"

Lin Qingxue nestled in her arms, not refusing, but only muttering in protest, "I've already said, he's not my boyfriend anymore..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ming smiled helplessly.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"He's my ex-boyfriend, okay!"
