Urban Immortal Lord

After entering the house, Xu Xiaomei warmly poured Zhou Ruosi a cup of tea. The tea was not any expensive tea, but just ordinary green tea grown in the mountains.

However, Zhou Ruosi politely took a sip. She had drunk quite a lot of expensive tea, so being able to taste the original tea from the mountain village was quite a unique experience.

"You brat, you better entertain the guests. Your dad and I will go to the kitchen to cook."

Xu Xiaomei gave Xia Tian a few words of advice, and then she and Xia Shoucheng went to the kitchen to get busy.

Only Xia Tian, ​​Zhou Ruosi, and Xia Yaoyao remained in the living room.

"My home is simple, with only some coarse tea and plain food. Please don't mind." Xia Tian touched his nose and said to Zhou Ruosi.

Xia Tian knew that someone like Zhou Ruosi, who could afford a BMW, was naturally quite wealthy. If he hadn't accidentally saved her, the two of them probably wouldn't have had any interaction.

"It's alright, this place is quite nice. Nowadays, cities are heavily polluted and industrialized, so it's rare to see primitive villages like Baiyun Village anymore," Zhou Ruosi said with a smile. "It's a great honor to be a guest at your home, and to have seen such different scenery and people."

Zhou Ruosi's words were not modest. Having worked in the city for several years, she had seen the cutthroat competition in the business world and how people would do anything for profit.

Since stepping into Baiyun Village, Zhou Ruosi has found that the local people are simple and honest, and the village has a natural atmosphere that has calmed her down considerably.

Since ancient times, life has been full of joys, especially the pleasure of stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life.

This is exactly how Zhou Ruosi feels right now.

"This place is suitable for retirement. If one wants to live a peaceful life, Baiyun Village is an excellent choice..."

Summer nodded, her heart filled with emotion. If only she hadn't left the mountains, hadn't seen the wonderful world outside, hadn't had that incredible adventure at the bottom of the sea…

Perhaps, I will spend the rest of my summer on this beautiful Baiyun Mountain.

However, Xia Tian now is naturally unwilling to be ordinary. What he pursues is not worldly money and power, but that ethereal fairyland!

Xia Yaoyao, the younger sister sitting next to Xia Tian, ​​had no interest in the topic Xia Tian and Xia Tian were discussing, or rather, she couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind it. So she took out her reference book and started doing practice questions.

For any student from a poor family, the college entrance examination is a major turning point in life, and may even determine the direction of their future.

When school starts this September, it will be the last year of high school for my younger sister, Xia Yaoyao.

"What are your plans for this summer vacation? If you want to do part-time work, you can come to the restaurant I run." Zhou Ruosi gave Xia Tian a meaningful look, then asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian paused for a moment and said, "We'll see how it goes. If time allows, I'll definitely go."

My original plan for this summer vacation was to travel and relax for the first month, and then work a summer job in the second month to supplement my family's income.

Unfortunately, that dangerous experience during my trip left me with no desire to travel and relax this summer. Therefore, this summer, I plan to work on my driving lessons while also doing part-time work to earn money. Also, I want to visit some old friends from when I was taking my driver's license test.

When it comes to taking a driving test, two familiar figures involuntarily come to mind in Xia Tian's mind, and a smile appears on his lips...

Zhang Jinbo was Xia Tian's driving instructor for the third stage of her driving test. He was exceptionally intelligent and frequented nightclubs and clubs. Xia Tian remembered that when she first met Zhang Jinbo, he was flirting with a female student in the training car.

Later, during driving lessons, the two found they shared similar interests and became friends.

Liu Zhenxing, also a student of Zhang Jinbo, met Xia Tian while practicing driving. As a civil servant, he spoke with an official air about him.

Although Liu Zhenxing was just a low-level employee, he still had a secure job, receiving government pay. If nothing unexpected happened, he could live a stable life.

However, this person's personality was too weak, and his emotional intelligence was unusually low. Xia Tian remembered that during the time he was learning to drive, Liu Zhenxing often asked them for advice on how to pursue girls.

"We should get together sometime," Xia Tian thought to herself.

"Oh, okay then. You absolutely have to come when you have time. Even if you don't work part-time for me, I'll treat you to a meal."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhou Ruosi's eyes. She had thought Xia Tian would agree. After all, summer vacation had just begun, and given Xia Tian's family's financial situation, she would definitely do part-time work during the summer to ease the burden on her family.

As Zhou Ruosi spoke, she took out two membership cards from her bag and handed them to Xia Tian and Xia Yaoyao respectively.

"Wow, this is a Juweige membership card!" Xia Yaoyao's eyes lit up as she looked at the membership card in Zhou Ruosi's hand. She said excitedly, "I heard from my classmates that Juweige is one of the largest restaurants in M ​​City. It's very luxurious, but it's too high-end for ordinary people to afford."

"Take it if you like it. Consider it a gift from an older sister to her younger sister since it's our first meeting. You can get a discount if you come to eat with us again sometime."

What Zhou Ruosi didn't say was that the two membership cards she held in her hand weren't ordinary discount cards, but two gold cards.

This means that as long as Xia Tian and Xia Yaoyao dine at Juweige, their entire meal will be free.

Zhou Ruosi smiled and handed the card to Xia Yaoyao. Looking at Xia Yaoyao's innocent and bright smile, she felt proud but also deeply affectionate.

Once upon a time, she studied hard and struggled in society for nearly ten years in order to change her destiny. She put in countless efforts and tasted endless hardships before achieving her current success.

Logically speaking, even if Xia Tian helped her get her bag back and rescued her from the thugs, given Zhou Ruosi's personality, she would at most give her some monetary reward, and would definitely not give her two prestigious gold cards.

But a woman's intuition told her that the boy in front of her seemed a little different.

Zhou Ruosi had met countless people, but she couldn't see through Xia Tian's thoughts.

Money? Power? Beautiful women?

It seemed as if the boy in front of her viewed all of this with detachment and indifference.

Little did Zhou Ruosi know that if Xia Tian hadn't been swept into the depths of the sea and received that earth-shattering fortune...

His vision will naturally be fixated on worldly things like money, power, and beautiful women.

Compared to the path of immortality, what is the path of humanity?

"Brother." Xia Yaoyao didn't reach out to take it, but looked at Xia Tian and asked for his opinion.

"Since it's a gift from your older sister, then take it." Xia Tian wanted to refuse Zhou Ruosi's kindness, but seeing her younger sister's longing eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse.

"Hehe, thank you, brother, and thank you, sister."

Seeing this, Xia Yaoyao happily took the membership card from Zhou Ruosi and smiled at the two of them.

Here, this is yours.

Zhou Ruosi quickly handed the membership card to Xia Tian and smiled.

"I don't need it."

Xia Tian refused. Although Xia Tian grew up in Baiyun Mountain, he had attended university for a year and naturally knew that the membership card in Zhou Ruosi's hand was a gold card.

Xia Tian was unwilling to accept favors from others for no reason. Although he had done Zhou Ruosi a favor, Xia Tian felt it was just a small favor and did not take it to heart.

As for why Xia Tian let her younger sister Xia Yaoyao accept Zhou Ruosi's gift, firstly, Xia Tian didn't want to offend Zhou Ruosi, and secondly, since her sister liked it, why not accept it? At worst, she could repay the favor on her sister's behalf.

"Alright then." Zhou Ruosi paused for a moment, then said, "I know you look down on this thing, but don't forget your sister when you become successful in the future."

His words carried a hint of resentment.

"No, I'm just not used to receiving gifts from others. Please don't take it to heart, Sister Zhou."

Xia Tian naturally noticed the resentment in Zhou Ruosi's heart, but Xia Tian felt that since he and Zhou Ruosi were not related, it was not appropriate for them to get too close.

"Ugh, I knew you'd say that," Zhou Ruosi said reproachfully.

Seeing this, Xia Tian scratched his head sheepishly and gave an awkward smile.

"The food is here."

Suddenly, Xu Xiaomei's voice came from the kitchen. Xu Xiaomei came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food, with a big smile on her face.

Immediately afterwards, the father, Xia Shoucheng, also came out of the kitchen carrying two plates of food.

"You brat, why aren't you serving the guests rice?" Xia Shoucheng said with a laugh.

"Okay," Xia Tian replied, then quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Summer ran back and forth to the kitchen twice, served five bowls of rice, and all the dishes on the table were already on the table.

There is stir-fried wild boar meat, stewed pheasant with wild ginseng, and some mountain vegetables.

"It's a remote place in the mountains, so we don't have much to offer. Please don't mind, Miss Zhou," Xu Xiaomei said to Zhou Ruosi at the dinner table.

"Auntie, please don't say that. It's my blessing to be able to eat such authentic wild game," Zhou Ruosi quickly said. Looking at the dishes that were almost overflowing, she understood how hospitable Xia Tian's family was.

"That's good, that's good." Xu Xiaomei laughed heartily, "Eat your food, eat your food, or it'll get cold."

"Auntie, please don't be so polite. Just call me Xiao Zhou or Ruosi," Zhou Ruosi said politely. Then she picked up a chicken leg and put it in Xia Yaoyao's bowl, saying with pity, "Little sister is growing, so eat more meat."

"Thank you, sister."

Xia Yaoyao said happily, her cherry-like little mouth already biting into the chicken leg, eating it with relish.

"This little girl."

Xia Tian sat to the left of her younger sister Xia Yaoyao and couldn't help but smile wryly. At the same time, she gently stroked Xia Yaoyao's little head with her right hand, her eyes full of affection.

At the same time, Xia Tian felt a strong sense of sorrow. From his sister's actions, he knew all too well what was going on at home.

To save money for his education, the family lived in poverty. They probably couldn't even afford meat on a regular basis, and even if they hunted wild game in the mountains, they would probably sell it for money.

Here, have a chicken leg too.

Seeing Xia Tian's actions, Zhou Ruosi picked up another chicken leg and put it in Xia Tian's bowl.

"Come on, Ruosi, have a piece of meat and try some wild game from the mountains."

Seeing this, Xu Xiaomei quickly put a piece of wild boar meat on Zhou Ruosi's plate.

"Thank you, Auntie," Zhou Ruosi said with a smile.
