Controlled by Sweet Potato Shavings Again!

Shangguan Dandan put her two slices of sweet potato back in her room, sat down in front of the small stove to boil water, and Liu Chang'an always thought that it was wrong of her not to do housework.

Shangguan Dandan lifted the kettle lid and watched the hot water bubbling and churning. She remembered Liu Chang'an telling her about the social and class problems caused by scientific progress and the revolutionary increase in productivity. He mentioned a man named Watt who invented a very powerful mechanism using the principle of hot water bubbling.

After watching the hot water bubbling for a while, Shangguan Dandan thought of something very important, so she filled the thermos with water and put in an effervescent tablet.

She used to put in only one effervescent tablet, but now that she has over a hundred yuan, she put in two.

Shangguan Dandan came out and saw Liu Chang'an still sitting under the sycamore tree.

Lu Si'en had finished eating his dog food and was lying on the ground with his belly turned up, his belly bulging. Liu Chang'an stretched out his foot and put it on the dog's belly, making it roll left and right.

The feet were placed very lightly; there was no abuse involved.

Shangguan Dandan took a cup, poured a glass of effervescent water, and said to Liu Chang'an, "Do you want some? I put in two effervescent tablets, it'll taste better."

Liu Chang'an was looking at An Nuan's message and nodded casually. An Nuan had sent him some videos of her physical fitness test, saying it was for him to admire the long-legged girls on the volleyball team.

Xiangnan University is a powerhouse in volleyball, and its female team is definitely stronger than the high school girls' volleyball team of Xiangtan University Affiliated High School. However, in terms of looks and physique, they may not be as good as the high school team.

Shangguan Dandan handed over the cup, and Liu Chang'an casually took it, took a sip, and found it tasted like Fanta diluted with hot water, but at least it had some sweetness.

Seeing that Liu Chang'an had drunk her effervescent water, Shangguan Dandan naturally reached out and took a scraper that Liu Chang'an had placed aside, then held it with both hands and started chewing on it.

Liu Chang'an noticed her action, but Liu Chang'an didn't rudely snatch it back. He simply looked at her calmly and asked, "Why are you eating mine again?"

"I gave you my effervescent water, so if you have something delicious, can't you share half with me?" Shangguan Dandan certainly had her reasons.

Liu Chang'an looked at the last scraping tablet he had left. Just a short while ago, he felt he could hardly accept that he only had two left. He never imagined that he would only have one left now.

Liu Chang'an was not a petty person. He took a deep breath and decided not to argue with the Empress Dowager, who had no chance of participating in the palace intrigue and instead focused her scheming on stealing his sweet potato slices.

He picked up the remaining piece and put it in his mouth.

"You can eat slowly, tear it in half, and eat half a slice at a time. That way you can eat it for a while longer." Shangguan Dandan gripped her sweet potato slice tightly, looking at Liu Chang'an expectantly, hoping he would take her suggestion.

"Keep dreaming!" Liu Chang'an wouldn't fall for her tricks anymore. In the past, he was the one who reasoned with others and then tricked them.

Shangguan Dandan was slightly saddened that he had been so harsh with her, so she pushed her thermos flask right under Liu Chang'an's nose.

Liu Chang'an ignored her and quickly scraped and ate the last slice of sweet potato.

Shangguan Dandan also sped up her pace; otherwise, what if he finished eating first and then wanted to take half of hers?

So Liu Chang'an and Shangguan Dandan finished eating together. Liu Chang'an saw that her lips were barely closed and she was trying her best to look normal. He knew that her mouth was full of chewed sweet potato slices that she hadn't had time to swallow.

Liu Chang'an stretched out two fingers and pinched Shangguan Dandan's cheek. Her lips immediately opened like a fish's mouth. Liu Chang'an glanced at it and, sure enough, it was a mouthful of sweet potato slices.

Shangguan Dandan glared at Liu Chang'an. If she hadn't been restrained by the sweet potato scraper, she would have definitely cursed him out!

Liu Chang'an released her cheek and sat down again, starting to think about what to eat for lunch... mainly wild boar, the key was which part to eat and how to cook it.

At this moment, two unexpected people walked into the residential area, paused under the grape trellis for a moment, and then walked straight to the sycamore tree.

It turned out to be Gao Cunyi and Wang Yibo.

Gao Cunyi is Gao Dewei's cousin. He once visited Liu Chang'an three times to ask him to duel with Pu Shougeng. Wang Yibo Gao Cunyi the senior brother that Gao Cunyi brought with him when he came to ask Liu Chang'an for the last time. He was kicked into a sycamore tree by Liu Chang'an and ended up in the hospital.

Before Pu Shougeng's martial arts school went out of business, they were Pu Shougeng's eldest and second eldest disciples.

Liu Chang'an sat with his legs crossed on the recliner. Although the autumn chill was growing stronger, the warm sunshine made for a pleasant and refreshing day. He didn't bother to say anything, and simply squinted at the two people who had come with unclear intentions.

Liu Chang'an could see clearly that Gao Cunyi and Wang Yibo were not on the same path, so he didn't understand why the two of them had gotten together again after Pu Shougeng's martial arts school went bankrupt, and why they had come to find Liu Chang'an together.

"Brother Liu." Gao Cunyi cupped his fist and bowed, then nudged Wang Yibo, who seemed lost in thought.

Wang Yibo was looking at Shangguan Dandan. It would be difficult not to notice such a beautiful girl. In fact, it wouldn't be unusual to stare at her for several minutes.

Wang Yibo snapped out of his daze, hesitated for a moment, and then, like Gao Cunyi, cupped his hands in a fist, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Brother Liu, what happened last time was truly reckless and foolish of me, and I was too full of anger. After being taught a lesson by Brother Liu, I have deeply regretted my actions and reflected on them for a long time. I have come here today specifically to apologize. I have reserved a table at Zhu's for lunch, and I hope Brother Liu will do me the honor of joining me."

Liu Chang'an ignored Wang Yibo and only looked at Gao Cunyi.

"Brother Liu, please do me the honor," Gao Cunyi said sincerely, then involuntarily turned his head to glance at Shangguan Dandan.

The beautiful young girl beside him, staring at him with wide eyes without saying a word, easily reminded Gao Cunyi of the child he had seen when he invited Liu Chang'an to a martial arts contest. The child had also been sitting under this sycamore tree, staring at him silently in the same way.

They weren't mute, Gao Cunyi was certain of that. They just probably saw themselves as bad people, right? Gao Cunyi felt embarrassed and his face flushed.

"Just say what you need to say." Inviting Liu Chang'an to dinner is always relatively easy, but that doesn't mean he's someone that anyone can easily get a meal out of.

"I do have something to discuss, but there's a proper way to eat. Let me explain first, and regardless of whether Brother Liu agrees or not, I would appreciate your presence later," Gao Cunyi said.

"You say."

"It's like this, our master has disappeared... and the martial arts school has closed down. Many of my fellow disciples are at a loss and have scattered like birds and beasts. My senior brother and I think the martial arts school can still be kept running, and we plan to regroup and put the fallen sign back up," Gao Cunyi said earnestly.

Hearing this, Liu Chang'an was certain that Gao Dewei's cousin wasn't a bad person at heart, but he was naive and lacked common sense.

It's still a problem with family education. Many parents want to teach their children to be good people, but it's difficult to teach them how to discern people's true intentions. Not everyone is good at it, and some people are just naturally straightforward and easily fooled.

Gao Cunyi didn't understand the problem of how hard it is to change one's nature. He only felt that Wang Yibo seemed to be sincerely apologizing, so he thought that Wang Yibo could be given a chance.

Let him think what he wants; Liu Chang'an won't.

"If you do it on your own, I don't think there's a problem. But if you partner with your senior, once you achieve some success and the brand is back on track, your senior will be the next Pu Shougeng," Liu Chang'an said, pointing at Wang Yibo.

Gao Cunyi was stunned. He hadn't expected that Liu Chang'an's opinion of Wang Yibo hadn't changed at all. These days, Wang Yibo Gao Cunyi every day, talking about how the martial arts school couldn't just fall into ruin. Gao Cunyi was persuaded by Wang Yibo. Although Gao Cunyi felt that Wang Yibo was too aggressive, he couldn't just give him no chance at all. After all, they had been fellow disciples for more than ten years.

"Brother Liu, you can't be so arbitrary, can you? Nobody's perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. It's never too late to admit your mistakes and correct them. You're condemning someone outright, not giving them any chance?" Wang Yibo clenched his fist and said calmly.

"Many times, it's precisely because we didn't completely destroy something that the consequences become endless," Liu Chang'an chuckled. "Such a good opportunity shouldn't be given away so easily, especially not to someone like you."

"Fine! Liu Chang'an, don't think that just because you're skilled in martial arts, we have to beg you!" Wang Yibo snorted coldly, turned around, and left.

"Senior brother... sigh..."

Gao Cunyi called out twice, but to no avail; he did not chase after them.

Liu Chang'an patted Lu Si'en's head, then turned to look at Gao Cunyi, "Speak, what is it?"
