Losing Face

Ling Yun was speechless. He hadn't done anything right.

Did this guy have a delusion? He reached out his right hand and placed it on Xu Le's forehead, sending a surge of divine power to calm his emotions.

However, this action was seen as an attempt to silence him by Xu Le. I can't resist, where did my internal energy go?

Heavens!

What's going on?

I'm going to die! He remembered running in the setting sun that afternoon. That was my lost youth! In the end, he closed his eyes in despair.

What's going on now? His body felt warm, his heart wasn't racing anymore, and he felt much calmer. Xu Le opened his eyes. He wasn't dead. In front of him was still a cup of tea handed over by Ling Yun.

"Brother, don't be nervous. I'm just an ordinary person. Drink it, or your legs will be weak forever." Ling Yun's patience had worn thin. He wished he could knock Xu Le out and throw him out.

You're an ordinary person? That lie wouldn't fool a dog. No, wait, I'm not a dog. Xu Le's mind collapsed. He had tricked himself.

"Uncle Monster, are you suffering from kidney deficiency?" The little kid, hearing about weak legs, chimed in.

"Uncle Xu Le, are you sick? You should go to the hospital," Beibei added, giving him a helping hand.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Xu Le's face turned bright red, annoyed by the two little rascals. He snatched the tea and drank it down.

It tasted great, and he felt strength surging through his body and his mental power growing. What kind of tea is this?

This cup would be worth hundreds of millions at auction! So it wasn't poisoned, it was a blessing! Xu Le rejoiced inwardly.

Damn it!

I embarrassed myself this time. I scared myself. How could someone like that bother with me?

Xu Le recalled his performance just now and felt a cold sweat break out. Thank goodness I didn't wet my pants, or I'd have no face to see anyone.

While everyone wasn't paying attention, Gao Yunjie was secretly devouring watermelon, wolfing it down. He kept looking back behind Gao Feifei and the others, like he was stealing something.

"Don't tell me you're thirsty again?" Gao Feifei looked at him with disappointment and anger.

"Yes, yes, how did you know, sis?" Gao Yunjie knew he'd been discovered and stopped being sneaky. It was just eating watermelon, not stealing, so what was there to fear?

"Feifei, you can't blame your brother. I'm eating this watermelon too, and it's almost gone." Lin Yueyan looked at the few remaining pieces on the table. Huh? Two more pieces are gone. Weren't it just me, Feifei, and her brother eating? Who else is such a big eater?

Ah! How could she see the watermelon on the table? Her little niece and that little friend Beibei were each holding a piece of watermelon, gnawing on it while eating barbecue.

This is serious!

The watermelon is definitely gone this time. This is a true little foodie! She had been thinking of digesting a bit and then packing up the rest of the watermelon, but...

"It's all your fault, Feifei's brother. Eat if you want, but why did you let her discover you?" Lin Yueyan also yelled at Gao Yunjie with disappointment.

"I didn't mean to. I was too engrossed in eating. Hehe."

Gao Yunjie thought Lin Yueyan was talking about him being discovered by his sister.

She's taking two more pieces! I can't take it anymore! Lin Yueyan was on the verge of tears.

"Little niece, leave a few pieces for your auntie."

"Hmph, no! You didn't tell me there was watermelon on the table, and you bullied me for not being tall enough!"

The little girl pouted, angry. There was watermelon from the start, and her cousin secretly ate it without giving her any. If she hadn't seen that handsome boy secretly eating, she wouldn't have known.

"Song Song, don't eat it. That watermelon isn't good," Lin Yueyan panicked. The watermelon was almost gone.

"Who cares if it's good or not, I'm dying of thirst!" Song Song grabbed a piece of watermelon and took a bite. Mmm! This watermelon is amazing! She abandoned her ladylike demeanor and devoured it in three or five bites.

Beibei was eating watermelon. Perhaps it was too delicious, so she savored it slowly. She took the second piece from Qianqian and gave it to her mother.

"Beibei, where did the watermelon come from?" Qin Lan's eyes lit up when she saw the watermelon. Those fruits were incredibly delicious.

Beibei pointed to the table. There was one piece left. Qin Lan was furious. Why didn't I notice earlier? The last piece was also gone. Qianqian took the last piece in their desperate eyes.
