Batch after batch of materials were delivered from Hengtong's headquarters and carried into Wanchunting by the workers. At the same time, the adjacent Wind and Moon Cottage was also gradually getting busier.
On one side are stunning beauties from the Hundred Flowers Ranking, singing and dancing; on the other side are skilled female technicians, working diligently.
Both sides seem to be thriving.
But the owners of the two shops were squatting at a tea stall across the street, drinking large bowls of tea, emphasizing that one should not indulge in any worldly love, for it was all reserved for a certain Cold Fairy who was no longer in this world.
"Godfather, I was just looking for you, what are you doing here?"
Zhong Zhenyue squatted down next to him with the list in hand, and Xie Xuan followed him out, casually picking up a bowl of tea.
"In order for the Hundred Flowers Festival to proceed smoothly."
Li Mo shook his head.
"Huh? What kind of logic is that?" Steel Straight Zhong Zhenyue looked completely bewildered.
Xie Xuan smacked his lips, secretly taking advantage of Zhong Zhenyue: "Think about it, once Brother Li leaves, the girls will be calling him 'brother,' changing clothes, and busy being entertained. They won't care about anything else."
"Hmm? Do they also want to fight Brother Li?"
Zhong Zhenyue was even more bewildered than before.
His half-sister, who calls him "brother," will feed him and give him gifts.
At times like this, Zhong Zhenyue becomes very vigilant.
Because it won't be long before Zhong Ling suddenly gets very angry, then challenges him to a duel, forbidding him from using his cultivation level, and then beats him up for his battlefield martial arts skills.
Therefore, in Zhong Zhenyue's world, calling someone "brother" is equivalent to a duel invitation.
"What does this have to do with fighting?" Li Mo saw wisdom in Zhong Zhenyue's eyes.
The kind of wisdom that isn't particularly clever.
"That's a term of endearment used by women to express their admiration, similar to 'my lord' or 'my young master'."
As Xie Xuan got to this point, he couldn't help but chew on the bitter grass root.
Whenever Hua Nongying mentioned Brother Li, she would refer to him as "Young Master Li" or "Young Gentleman Li".
While washing his feet, he kept mentioning another man's name...
The pain was unbearable. If it were the old Xie Xuan, he would probably have shattered. Thankfully, the old Xie Xuan is dead...
"Admiration?"
Zhong Zhenyue quickly waved his hands. "How could that be? Impossible, absolutely impossible. We've been fighting since we were kids."
Li Mo sighed and asked him, "What was Zhong Ling like after I beat you before?"
"Showing off and claiming she's the boss."
"And now that I've beaten you?"
"She says she'll never talk to me again... Sometimes when she wins, she cries and says I'm heartless. She's not as strong as she was when she was a kid..."
Zhong Zhenyue seemed lost in thought.
"Do you cry when other women get close to you?"
"What does that have to do with her?"
"If other men approached her now and liked her, would you be angry?"
Little Li posed a thought-provoking question.
"!"
Zhong Zhenyue was struck dumb, his face contorted with anxiety as he forced a sheepish smile, "No, I didn't, I didn't! Godfather, what are you talking about? You're killing me with laughter, oh dear..."
Li Mo: "..."
Xie Xuan: "..."
Just then, Huang Donglai walked over. He also disliked being surrounded by beautiful women and troublemakers in Wan Chunting.
Li Mo asked, "Brother Huang, if someone gets close to the woman next to you, would you be angry?"
Huang Donglai asked warily, "Where did this woman come from beside me?"
Li then asked Xie Xuan, "If someone approaches..."
Xie Xuan said calmly, "It happens every day, but I've let it go. If she can find happiness, it would be a beautiful story, although it seems unlikely at the moment..."
"Hey, that's a normal reaction."
Li Mo pointed to Huang Donglai and Xie Xuan.
"!!!"
Zhong Zhenyue leaned back slightly, as if struck by lightning!
Now that I've said all that, even you, the most clueless straight man, have finally seen the light, right?
Xiao Zhong fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere became somewhat quiet for a moment.
Li Mo coughed lightly, changing the subject:
"By the way, why don't you go and take a look at Wan Chunting?"
"The Wind and Moon Cottage is much more comfortable now." Xie Xuan looked at the two extremely exquisite buildings.
"I feel the same way."
Huang Donglai nodded. "It's strange, I always felt that beautiful women were a source of trouble, but when I stayed at the Wind and Moon Cottage, I didn't feel threatened by the women there... Why is that?"
Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "The women at Wan Chun Ting tend to be more business-oriented, while those at Wind and Moon Cottage are more sporty."
"?????"
The three of them didn't understand, but it seemed very profound.
After all, Brother Li is the one who holds a special place in Miss Ying's heart, so there must be a reason why he said that.
If they can't understand, it must be because they have poor comprehension...
"Godfather, what should I do now?" Zhong Zhenyue asked with a complicated expression.
"I don't think Uncle Zhong is too opposed to it. You also have feelings for Zhong Ling, so why don't you give it a try and start dating?"
"But how should one approach a romantic relationship?"
Zhong Zhenyue was at a loss, feeling that this was even more difficult than going into battle.
More than anything, it felt unfamiliar.
He left the capital in his youth and went to the Imperial Capital, just as he was beginning to experience romantic feelings. However, he was surrounded by rough, old men from the army, and he didn't even have any maids, only his personal guards.
"Hey, you've come to the right person."
Li Mo solemnly held up three fingers, exuding an air of confident authority.
When it comes to offering advice on his best friend's love life, he always delivers powerful and insightful commentary.
He immediately imparted all the tricks he had learned online in his previous life!
"First, go on a date with her and make her blush..."
"Oh oh."
All three listened attentively. Zhong Zhenyue and Xie Xuan were genuinely prepared to use it, Huang Donglai the most focused, taking notes in a small notebook in preparation for any eventuality, thus going against the grain.
If someone ever likes him, he can avoid all the right answers!
"Brother Li's insights are truly profound."
"Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture."
Old Zhong, Old Xie, and Old Huang all considered it a treasure.
Li Mo smiled and waved his hand, but he was a little puzzled. He had said so much, but why wasn't there any feedback on investment?
Could you even give me a little something?
Is the system broken?
"So, you're quite experienced?"
"No, that's not it..."
Before Li Mo could finish speaking, his expression froze, and he turned around to see that familiar figure.
Her dark black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her snow-white hair ornaments adding a touch of frost to her temples. She wore a phoenix-tail dress with red and black stripes, exuding a noble and domineering air amidst her elegant beauty. Her eyes, like autumn water, were calm yet bright.
Seeing Li Mo squatting on the curb, drinking a large bowl of tea and gesturing wildly, a faint, ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
Ice Block looks really good in this; as for that yellow robe, let it go if it's burned...
This was Little Li's first thought.
Then look at Zhong Zhenyue, Huang Donglai, and Xie Xuan. For some reason, they all stood at attention, ramrod straight, eyes fixed straight ahead, as if they had encountered a leader on an inspection tour.
"So we're on a date tonight, and what you're thinking...?"
Ying Bing smiled as she sized up Xiao Li.
"That's called appreciating excellent works of art. I always approach works of art with reverence!"
"..."
Ying Bing rolled her eyes slightly.
Is she some kind of fool?
Or is the artwork Li Mo is referring to not being Animation, but something else entirely?
Why are you here?
"I should also come to the Flower Festival and take a look."
Watching the two leave.
Zhong Zhenyue, Huang Donglai, and Xie Xuan stood there, deep in thought. So, would Brother Li's method actually work?
As they were pondering this question...
Ying Bing turned around and said, "Zhong Zhenyue."
"What's wrong, godmother?" Old Zhong called her godmother with more confidence than he did godfather.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. Just be yourself when you're with Zhong Ling."
As she spoke, Ying Bing glanced at Li Mo, who was holding her hand, and said softly:
If she has feelings for you, she'll also like your silly side.
Li Mo: "??"
Little Li paused, feeling that the words were directed at him.
