Chapter 134: Sir, Which One Do You Think Looks Good?

The room was empty and silent, the light dim.

Although the room was very small.

It felt eerily spacious in its stillness.

Only faint breathing and barely detectable heartbeats echoed in the quiet.

The girl slept soundly, her face resting on her arm atop a dark brown desk, occasionally murmuring in her sleep.

“Whoosh—”

A breeze followed Xu Xi as he pushed open the door, suddenly filling the room.

The wind was gentle.

Like a soft caress.

It rustled the pages of papers and swayed the strands of hair on the girl’s forehead.

Amidst the harmony of wind and paper, the girl’s serene sleeping face was revealed, her eyes lightly closed, her nose twitching slightly, like a night flower quietly blooming.

“Is this…”

“Did she fall asleep from exhaustion?”

Xu Xi stood at the doorway.

He first glanced at the sleeping Wu Yingxue, then at the pile of administrative affairs on the desk, easily piecing together what had happened.

For some reason, Xu Xi felt like laughing.

Did the girl come to help, or just to find a new place to sleep?

“Let her sleep a bit longer…”

The girl’s peaceful sleep was too sweet, and Xu Xi couldn’t bear to disturb her.

He took a step back, planning to wait until she woke up before offering her the greasy, succulent chicken leg, wanting the tired girl to rest a bit more.

But the next second.

The soundly sleeping girl woke up on her own.

“Sir?”

Wu Yingxue wasn’t fully awake yet, groggily lifting her head and rubbing her eyes several times with the back of her hand before finally seeing Xu Xi standing at the door.

Her drowsy eyes instantly cleared.

“Sir, you’re finally back!”

She exclaimed with delight.

Then, realizing she had fallen asleep, Wu Yingxue’s expression turned awkward.

Her index fingers poked at each other.

Her eyes avoiding Xu Xi’s gaze.

She claimed she had accidentally fallen asleep, insisting she wasn’t usually this lazy.

Her cautious demeanor amused Xu Xi: “It’s fine, rest more if you’re tired. There’s no shame in that.”

Hearing this, the girl immediately relaxed.

Her lively eyes turned to Xu Xi, noticing something she had overlooked in her earlier nervousness.

“Chicken leg? Sir, why did you bring this?”

Xu Xi entered the room.

Under the girl’s surprised gaze, he pushed the chicken leg toward her: “It’s the New Year, we should eat something good. I had some chickens slaughtered, and this chicken leg is for you.”

“Wow~~~”

The girl’s eyes instantly curved into crescent moons.

Eating demon meat for a long time.

Was a painful experience.

Not only did one have to endure its poor texture, but also its sour, fishy taste.

Now, with a greasy, normal chicken leg before her, the girl felt her stomach uncontrollably growling.

“Sir, you should eat it.”

After reluctantly glancing at the chicken leg.

Wu Yingxue chose not to eat it, instead pushing it back toward Xu Xi.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Xi asked.

“Sir, you work harder than me, not only worrying about everyone’s food and shelter but also often busy until midnight. I can’t take this meat!”

Wu Yingxue’s voice was firm as she shook her head at Xu Xi.

Xu Xi smiled in response: “Don’t worry, I’ve already eaten. Everyone has rice soup to drink, and this is your portion.”

“Sir, you’re not lying, are you?”

“Of course not.”

Xu Xi pointed to his mouth.

He had taken a bite of the chicken leg earlier.

Though not much, he had indeed eaten some, so it wasn’t a lie.

“Hehe, then I won’t hold back!”

The girl was simple and trusted Xu Xi completely. She giggled, reaching out to take the greasy chicken leg and taking a big bite.

Her eating style was bold.

Her appearance was beautiful.

The two combined in Wu Yingxue created a striking contrast.

“Yingxue, this outfit of yours…”

Xu Xi’s eyes swept over her, surprised by the light green dress.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Hearing Xu Xi’s voice.

The girl suddenly started coughing, belatedly recalling that she had changed into this outfit today, not her usual red and white martial attire.

Instinctively.

Her chicken leg-eating became more delicate.

Taking small bites, chewing slowly, and then swallowing.

Though holding the chicken leg with one hand, her palm still glistened with grease, it was a significant improvement from before.

“Actually, it’s nothing… just, uh.”

“My previous clothes were a bit torn, so I changed into this. After all, it’s the New Year…”

The girl awkwardly explained.

“I see,” Xu Xi curiously examined the newly dressed Wu Yingxue.

How to put it? It was beyond imagination.

Previously, Wu Yingxue had always given the impression of a carefree, bold heroine, far from the image of a refined lady.

But today.

Seeing the girl in a dress.

Xu Xi thought she looked quite beautiful.

He sincerely complimented her: “Very pretty.”

The girl’s furrowed brows relaxed into joy: “Really, sir?”

“Yes, really.”

“Then… which ‘me’ do you prefer, the usual me or today’s me?”

Wu Yingxue asked.

She was curious whether Xu Xi preferred her usual bold self or today’s more reserved version.

Under Wu Yingxue’s gaze, Xu Xi pondered for a moment.

Finally, he shook his head.

“I can’t decide. I think you look great in both.”

Xu Xi’s voice was sincere; he wasn’t just being polite, but stating the truth.

Comparing the two outfits.

Whether it was the red and white martial attire or the plain light green dress, neither was particularly stunning.

It was the girl’s own charm that made both outfits stand out.

Finally, Xu Xi said: “Sorry, I really can’t choose.”

“It’s fine, I was just asking casually. Sir, don’t worry about it.”

The girl seemed even happier.

She giggled, biting into the chicken leg, her pace quickening. Soon, the entire chicken leg was devoured.

The chicken leg wasn’t heavily seasoned.

But the aroma of the grease and the texture of the meat.

Left the girl wanting more.

“Sir, this chicken leg is really delicious,” Wu Yingxue put down the chicken bone, her lips glistening with grease.

“Glad you liked it. If there’s a chance in the future,” Xu Xi stepped forward, using a damp cloth to wipe the girl’s face clean.

Then.

He took her equally greasy hand.

Carefully cleaning it, removing every bit of grease from between her fingers.

The chicken bone.

The girl with greasy lips.

The small room.

Together formed a peaceful and beautiful scene.

Afterward, Xu Xi began handling administrative affairs. Though it was New Year’s Eve, there wasn’t much to do or play in the city, so it was better to continue planning for next year’s “survival.”

Along with the martial arts techniques for future training.

“Sir, let me help you,” Wu Yingxue, having finished the chicken leg, didn’t leave but stayed in the room to help Xu Xi with the busy administrative tasks.
