Ning Zechen fixed his tiger-like eyes on him, saying, "This is the place you chose. I came here alone. Is there still a need to say these deceitful things?"
He Xiaolou smiled but did not respond.
Ning Zechen suddenly sighed, whether in resentment or admiration, "Boss He is truly cautious."
He Xiaolou let out a light sigh, put down the wine pot, slowly sat down, and said with some melancholy, "Sir, you were once a carp, cultivated for five hundred years, leaped over the dragon gate, and became a dragon after marriage. As for me, I was only a loach, cultivated for a thousand years to become a carp, then another five hundred years to barely leap over the dragon gate... no, how can it be counted as a dragon gate? At most, I entered the river from the creek... but at least I gained some wealth. If you fall, you'll still be a carp, but I will turn back into a loach. Tell me, how can someone like me not be cautious in my actions?"
