Chapter 10: Ancient Martial Tai Chi

"You... you guys..." Lu Yunqi watched the scene before her in bewilderment, almost at a loss for words.

Was this really her best friend? The Su Mei who was indifferent to men during their college days and never dated? The same Su Mei who dominated the business world and became the dream girl of countless people?

The scene before her completely overturned her understanding of her best friend.

"Yunqi, this is a misunderstanding... We... nothing happened!" Su Mei leaped up from the sofa, frantically trying to explain.

"Nothing happened?" Lu Yunqi felt dazed and confused, muttering, "Yeah, indeed, nothing happened. I'm going to rest in my room, you guys continue..."

Saying this, she walked towards her bedroom. She felt like her world view was collapsing and urgently needed to calm down and sort things out. As for Su Mei's words, Lu Yunqi didn't believe a word.

How could nothing have happened when the buttons on the shirt were missing?

How could nothing have happened when you were lying on top of someone?

Where was his shirt if nothing happened?

...

Entering her bedroom, Lu Yunqi, initially intending to close the door, paused and said to her blushing best friend:

"Mei Mei, you better take it easy. Look what you did to the young man, you're too wild!"

Too wild...

Wild...

Su Mei was stunned for a moment, and when she realized what her best friend meant, she immediately became furious and was about to rush forward in a rage:

"Ah! Lu Yunqi, I'm going to kill you!"

"Angry because you're embarrassed? Planning to silence me, huh?" Lu Yunqi had a knowing look, winked at Ye Tian, and said with a smile, "Young man, I didn't expect Mei Mei to have this kind of preference. Bear with the pain."

Bear with the pain? Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, thinking Su Mei's best friend was really... so full of youthful energy.

"Lu Yunqi!" Su Mei was so furious she was almost exploding, ready to truly attack and silence her friend, but then she saw the bedroom door slam shut.

"It's all your fault, now the misunderstanding is huge!" Unable to find the actual culprit, Su Mei vented her frustration on Ye Tian, glaring at him discontentedly.

"How is this my fault? Just look at us now, who wouldn't misunderstand?" Ye Tian retorted, feeling wronged.

Su Mei finally paid attention to their current state. When she saw how they looked, her face turned red, and she spat in frustration before rushing towards the bedroom.

"The wound does look like it was scratched. No wonder there was a misunderstanding," Ye Tian commented, looking at the wound on his chest. He started applying medicine from a bottle on the table.

"Congratulations on successfully feeding the dog food and earning 5 points of dog food value."

An unexpected gain? Ye Tian, who had just checked the system a moment ago, heard the system prompt with delight.

Dog food points were not just earned by showing affection; they required the other party to feel jealousy or envy.

As Su Mei's best friend, Lu Yunqi naturally wouldn't feel hatred, leaving only envy and jealousy.

"Who doesn't harbor springtime dreams..." Ye Tian shook his head, his eyes gradually brightening.

He now craved dog food points, wishing he could gather all the single dogs in the world and flaunt his love in front of young girls. It might not be appropriate, but for the sake of dog food points, Ye Tian didn't mind being a bit unethical.

"Ye Tian, try these cola chicken wings, I made them especially for you!"

In the evening, as it grew dark, Su Mei put the last cola chicken wing on the table, looking expectantly at Ye Tian.

"Delicious... so delicious!" Ye Tian, his mouth full, was amazed, giving a thumbs-up. He never expected Su Mei, the dream girl of countless men and a dominant figure in the business world, to have such great culinary skills.

Su Mei smiled as she watched Ye Tian eat messily, reaching out with a napkin to wipe his mouth. Several misunderstandings had filled her with guilt towards Ye Tian, and she couldn't help but be exceptionally accommodating to him.

"Enough with the sweetness! Su Mei, we agreed to be single dogs together, and here you are secretly preparing dog food..."

Seeing their behavior, Lu Yunqi felt heartbroken. She couldn't believe that this gentle and virtuous woman was the Su Mei she knew.

"You two eat, I'm full! Ye Tian, I'll pick you up tomorrow to visit grandpa at the hospital," Su Mei said, her face flushed with embarrassment, eating a few bites before running back to her bedroom.

Seeing Su Mei's reaction, Lu Yunqi became even more interested. As Su Mei retreated to

 her bedroom, she excitedly asked Ye Tian:

"Young man, how did you meet Mei Mei? Are you already meeting the parents? How far have you two gone? Have you... you know..."

Faced with Lu Yunqi's curiosity, Ye Tian felt overwhelmed but had to entertain her for the sake of dog food points.

After concocting a dramatic love story and satisfying Lu Yunqi's curiosity, Ye Tian saw his dog food points increase by ten. Leaving behind an envious Lu Yunqi, he left the villa contentedly.

"To cultivate or not..." Walking on the street, Ye Tian's attention turned to the Ancient Martial Tai Chi technique he had drawn earlier in the day.

Without the dog food system, he would have immediately chosen to cultivate, as it was a highly coveted martial art. However, with the dog food system, he hesitated. The system's lottery included a variety of options, including basic internal strength techniques.

Compared to the high-flying internal strength methods of wuxia novels, the appeal of the Ancient Martial Tai Chi technique seemed weaker, hence Ye Tian's hesitation.

But soon, he made up his mind. Internal strength techniques were desirable but a future consideration. Since he had drawn the Tai Chi technique, he decided to cultivate it first, knowing that lofty ambitions without grounding weren't beneficial.

With this thought, Ye Tian looked around and noticed a green forest near the villa complex. Seeing no one around, he nodded in satisfaction and headed there.

The forest was quiet, with only the occasional rustling of leaves and the soft voices of an old man and a young child chatting. Ye Tian didn't pay them any mind, as finding a completely secluded place in the city was impossible. He found a quiet corner and began his cultivation.
