The smile on Yu Sanshui's face instantly stiffened, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He gave Yu Sheng on the television a long look and forced a smile.
"Yu Sheng loved listening to crosstalk when he was little."
"It's one of his hobbies, too."
"Ah, what a multitalented child."
Yu Sanshui struggled to explain.
The woman hesitated, but looking at Yu Sanshui's handsome face and exquisite suit, she ultimately chose to believe him.
Until...
"At birth, human nature is good..."
"No, don't..."
"For a child not to study is improper."
Yu Sanshui decisively switched off the television, took a deep breath, and gave a gentlemanly smile. "Let the child walk his own path. Might I have the honor of inviting you, my esteemed lady, to dinner, to discuss the origins of life and its development?"
The woman's face instantly flushed red. She lowered her head shyly and murmured assent.
"The honor is truly mine."
"A very good river-fish restaurant recently opened, but my wallet is with my secretary. Please wait a moment while I ask him to come over."
As he spoke, Yu Sanshui took out his phone.
"It's all right. I brought mine."
Tenderness filled the woman's gaze as she took Yu Sanshui's hand.
"Sorry to make you pay."
With just the right touch of guilt on his face, Yu Sanshui gently stroked the woman's cheek before leaving with her.
Night fell.
Back at the hotel, Zhao Zicheng collapsed onto the soft, comfortable sofa, his leg in its plaster cast resting limply on the coffee table.
"To be invincible is to be lonely."
"They're all so lame, especially that Wu Qianqiu. He cracked me up."
"Even those Evil Cult guys have better combat awareness than him."
"I could roll my wheelchair back and forth over his face."
