Chapter 36: One Thing Supersedes Another

Xia Yuxun casually waved her hand, "At ease, at ease! Go about your business! Wait a second, Xiaobao, Xiaoyu, little crazy one, the three of you stay behind!"

Xia Yuxun pointed to one Baldy, one with a buzz cut, and one with spiky hair, keeping the three teenagers behind.

The three teenagers stared at the dazzling, handsome man next to Xia Yuxun with incredibly gossip-filled eyes.

Baldy Xiaobao, "Senior sister, who is this?"

Buzz cut Xiaoyu, "Your husband?"

Spiky hair little crazy one, "Oh! Could it actually be our brother-in-law?! Does brother-in-law not see very well?"

Xia Yuxun knocked each of the teenager's foreheads, then placed her hands on her hips, "Shut up! Can't you come up with something new? It's always the same routine; I'm even tired of it!"

Xiaobao, "Senior sister, we did change!"

Xiaoyu, "Really, we changed!"

Little crazy one, "What Xiaobao and Xiaoyu said is true, last time we used apples, but after your teaching, we felt wasting food was bad, so this time we switched to shoes."

Xia Yuxun roared like a lion, "You bunch of little bastards, actually using stinky shoes to ambush me! All of you go face the wall—"

"Yes—" The three lined up and trotted off, thudding towards the corner.

Ou Mingxuan's face was streaked with confusion. He thought he knew Xia Yuxun well enough, but he realized what he had seen was just the tip of the iceberg.

This girl truly is... full of energy!

"Yuxun!"

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a loose Taoist robe and a stern face walked out of the house.

Xia Yuxun's face suddenly changed, she immediately stood at attention, turned right, briskly moved forward, and bowed deeply, "Father!"

"Hmm, back from a business trip?"

"Yes, the boss gave me a week off," Xia Yuxun tried to lie calmly.

"Hmm, good, you can help train Zhang Bao, Yu Le, and Han Feng. They have a competition next week."

"Okay. By the way, Dad, I brought a friend home. He wants to learn some knowledge about Chinese martial arts from you."

Xia Yuxun's father, Xia Molin, nodded at Ou Mingxuan, then said, "Alright, bring your friend in and have a seat!"

As Xia Molin walked into the house, Xia Yuxun immediately relaxed and slumped her shoulders as if deflated, her back shirt soaked with sweat.

Ou Mingxuan, watching everything that had happened since their arrival, could only describe it in four words: absolutely breathtaking!

"It's really a case of a creature meeting its master," Ou Mingxuan exclaimed.

Xia Yuxun shot him a look, "Don't make cheeky remarks."

After introducing Ou Mingxuan to Xia Molin, Xia Yuxun slipped away to cook dinner.

When Ou Mingxuan and Xia Molin finished talking and went to the kitchen to find Xia Yuxun, they saw her wearing an apron and making soup, a scene greatly at odds with her usual demeanor.

Ou Mingxuan approached her and exaggeratedly said, "Today truly has been an eye-opener, quite shocking! You can actually cook?"

"What else did you think?" Xia Yuxun shot him a look.

"I thought you only knew how to eat!"

"Go away! Are you done talking? What did my dad say? Did he take you in?" Xia Yuxun tasted a spoonful of the tomato and egg soup.

"Your dad said from now on I'll study under you!"

"Pfft—" Xia Yuxun sprayed out the soup.

"He not only took you in but also handed you over to me? How is that possible? How did you manage that? What did you say to my dad?" Xia Yuxun screamed.

Ou Mingxuan shrugged his shoulders, looking innocent, "I didn't say much! He asked what our relationship was, and I told him 'male-female relations'!"
