Thunder rumbled outside the window. Xu Yuan closed her eyes and meditated quietly. Huang Yiyi's voice was no longer heard at the door.

A knock sounded on the door, followed by the voices of Wang Ba and Chen Xiaofang.

The two entered the room and looked at Xu Yuan, hesitant to speak. After exchanging a glance, Wang Ba spoke first.

"Mr. Xu, it's raining outside."

Xu Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood. After a moment of silence, Wang Ba said again, "Miss Huang is still standing down there."

After being kicked out by Xu Yuan, Huang Yiyi did not leave, but stood downstairs at the hotel, hoping to gain Xu Yuan's forgiveness.

Despite the rain, she showed no intention of leaving.

Downstairs, Huang Yiyi stood in the rain, her whole body soaked. Old Qin stood beside her with an umbrella, trying several times to shield her from the rain, but Huang Yiyi pushed him away each time.

After being scolded by her grandfather last night, Huang Yiyi realized her mistake and couldn't sleep all night.

I came to apologize to Xu Yuan today, and I was still resentful when Xu Yuan kicked me out. But then I thought that if I had suffered the same treatment, I would probably be even angrier than Xu Yuan.

The torrential rain lashed down on her, and Huang Yiyi could barely open her eyes, unsure whether the water on her face was tears or rain.

A car stopped in front of the hotel, and Rose, carrying a lunchbox, got out of the car and immediately saw Huang Yiyi standing in the rain.

She knew last night that Xu Yuan was leaving today, so she came to see him off and also made some food for him to eat on his journey.

She was surprised to see this scene as soon as she arrived at the hotel. She looked at Huang Yiyi in the rain, then looked up at the building, her expression complicated.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in her hotel room, Xu Yuan stood with her hands behind her back, looking down at Huang Yiyi standing in the rain on the open ground below.

Wang Ba and Chen Xiaofang exchanged a glance, looking at Xu Yuan's expressionless face, unsure of how to start the conversation.

Should I try to persuade them?

But they saw everything that happened last night clearly, and it was indeed very excessive.

They were also very angry with Huang Yiyi at the time.

Now, seeing Huang Yiyi standing in the rain makes them feel soft-hearted and want to plead for her, but they can't bring themselves to do it.

But seeing a girl standing in the rain, I felt bad for her.

Xu Yuan remained calm; in his eyes, there was no distinction between men and women.

You're wrong, and the world won't sympathize with you just because you're a woman or a weakling.

Pigs in a pigsty may be very docile towards people, but they still cannot escape being slaughtered in the end.

Tigers in the mountains bare their man-eating fangs when they see people, but people's first reaction is fear. That's the difference.

During the time I spent making my wish to descend the mountain, I gradually came to understand the rules of survival in this real society.

There was a knock on the door. Chen Xiaofang instinctively turned around and saw Xu Yuan nod. She ran to open the door.

Chen Xiaofang and Wang Ba were both surprised to see Rose carrying a lunchbox as she entered.

Rose sensed an eerie atmosphere in the room as she entered, and could only manage a sweet smile.

When Xu Yuan saw her, he stopped standing by the window, took two steps back, and casually pulled the curtains up.

"Xiaofang, go and bring her up here."

Come to my place to wash up and change into clean clothes, so you don't get sick.

Chen Xiaofang was taken aback at first, but immediately realized what she meant, agreed, and walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Wang Ba also went out, leaving only the wishing and roses in the room.

"Why are you here?"

He gestured for Rose to sit down, his gaze fixed on the lunchbox in her hand.

Rose, with a gentle smile on her face, sat down opposite Wishing.

"We weren't saying we were leaving Pucheng today, so I made some food for you to eat on the way."

"Thank you for your trouble."

As Xu Yuan reached out to take the lunchbox, her hand brushed against Rose's, which was resting on the lunchbox. Rose quickly withdrew her hand, embarrassed, her fair face turning as red as a peach.

Opening the lunchbox, Xu Yuan greedily inhaled the aroma of the food, his eyes shining.

"Take it with you, but you can eat it now."

As he spoke, he picked up his utensils and prepared to start eating.

Looking up, he noticed the roses staring longingly at him, and a smile crept onto his lips.

"Have you eaten yet? Want to eat together?"

Rose instinctively wanted to say that she had already eaten, but seeing Xu Yuan's expectant look, she quickly changed her mind: "Okay, let's eat together."

A brief silence fell over the room. Xu Yuan ate his meal in silence, while Rose occasionally glanced up at him with a happy smile.

She wasn't a greedy person; she was content just to spend a little more time with Xu Yuan.

After all, happy moments are fleeting, and what we pursue in life is nothing more than these few moments.

Just as we finished eating, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Xiaofang and Huang Yiyi, who had changed her clothes, entered the room.

Huang Yiyi spotted the roses at a glance, and curiosity flashed in her red-rimmed eyes. How did she end up here?

But she has no intention of delving deeper now; she only wants to beg for Xu Yuan's forgiveness.

Xu Yuan didn't give her a chance to speak, and said in a calm voice, "I can go and see the old man."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yiyi's dull eyes instantly lit up.

The voice of the wisher continued to ring in his ears: "However, I'm not doing this for you, but for his selfless dedication to the country and the people."

"You can go back now. Send a car to pick me up tomorrow."

After saying that, Xu Yuan lowered her head and continued eating the food in front of her.

Huang Yiyi opened her mouth, feeling like she had a lot to say, but seeing Xu Yuan's attitude, she could only force out two words: "Thank you."

When Huang Laoguai heard the news from his granddaughter's return, he calmly nodded and looked at Huang Yiyi, who looked haggard and had suffered a lot of grievances.

"Have you learned your lesson this time?"

Huang Yiyi nodded with red eyes, looking like she was about to cry at any moment.

"They're younger than you, look at their perspective, you should learn from them."

After comforting Huang Yiyi for a while, Old Huang told her to go and rest, leaving only Old Qin by his side.

"Old Qin, I heard from Yiyi that Wang Han's adopted daughter is in Xu Yuan's room."

Do you think Wang Han is trying to matchmake his adopted daughter with Xu Yuan?

If that's the case, this guy has a sharp eye.

"Yiyi is not young anymore, I haven't heard of her having a boyfriend, have I?"

"You're always by her side, are you seeing if she and Xu Yuan have a chance?"

Old Qin was taken aback at first, then gave an awkward smile: "Old Huang, you've never even met Xu Yuan, yet you're so certain he's a good person?"

"That's true."

Old Huang nodded meaningfully: "It seems I was the one who was in a hurry."

"Here's what you're doing: arrange a car and go invite him to our house first thing tomorrow morning."

I want to see him in person.

"In addition, Yuanye Company has been making increasingly big moves on the Huangpu River recently."

You should gather the martial arts association, the metaphysical research institute, and several other masters from Pucheng to discuss whether there are any other ways to break the curse.

The members of the Shanshui Weilong team that I transferred from other places will be arriving soon.

When the time comes, we must fight to the death and not let their conspiracy succeed.
