Chapter 1741: Feeling Unwell
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
His aunt had not even felt sad about leaving such a huge villa empty. Instead, she had even graciously handed the keys to the villa to these children, saying that they could stay at the villa if the need arose. His aunt had said that young people needed their own space occasionally. As long as they did not go over the top and deal with things that they should not deal with, she was totally fine with them letting loose once in a while.
Where else would he find such an enlightened and open-minded aunt?
Qiao Nan herself had never been to any of the houses that Old Lin had left to her, including the villa. But these children had been there several times for various reasons, especially Tian Haoran, who was involved in research. Whenever he reached a bottleneck in his research and needed somewhere to calm down, he would always go to this house.
Zhu Yu scratched his flat head. “If only these people were men instead of old ladies. I would definitely fight with them and punch them and kick them. That way, everything would be solved.”
“Didn’t I tell you that you’re all brawns and no brains?” Gao Feng chuckled uncontrollably. He had once thought that Zhu Yu was quite intelligent. But after he entered the military and got recruited into the special forces, it seemed as though his brain regressed. He was no longer as cunning and sly as he was in the past, and he would choose to use his force to solve problems most of the time. “Apart from going on missions and exercises, have you let your brain rest too much now that you’re used to using physical force to solve your problems?”
Zhu Yu rubbed his fists. “Why? Do you want to fight me? Just say so if you do. Shall we go to the side and spar?” He might not be able to handle other people, but did Gao Feng really think that he would not be able to handle him?
Gao Feng huffed. “How unreasonable!”
Did Zhu Yu think he was using his feet to think too? Even when they were younger, he had never won against Zhu Yu. Now, Zhu Yu was a special forces soldier and was on the path to becoming the king of the soldiers. Fighting Zhu Yu now? That was just picking a losing battle. He had never allowed his brain to rest, so he would never do something as foolish as that!
Zhu Yu replied gleefully, “Have you forgotten what Auntie Qiao taught us? I can take on ten people!” Zhu Yu proudly raised his fist. “In the face of guns, all reactionaries are nothing more than paper tigers!”
“There are so many paper tigers in front of Auntie Qiao. Why don’t you defeat one to show me how you can defeat ten with your own strength?” Gao Feng impolitely embarrassed Zhu Yu. Everyone there had grown up together. Could they really deceive each other about their own abilities?
Come on, just stop it.
Zhu Yu laughed. “What a cheap brotherhood! Our friendship is so fragile, like a boat that can tip over at any time!” He could not continue with this conversation.
Gao Feng was overjoyed. Zhu Yu was a special forces soldier, and ever since then, they had only been able to meet Zhu Yu twice in a year. But Zhu Yu was still as cheeky as he had been. He had not grown up at all, and neither had he become inflexible because he was now a special forces soldier. He was still that old Zhu Yu they were familiar with.
“Can you treat us to a glass of wine?” Just as they were in the midst of their chat, a woman scantily clad and wearing heavy make-up walked toward the trio, smiling seductively. The woman pointed toward where she had come from. As expected, there were several other girls sitting there, dressed in the same manner as this young lady was. They were clearly used to playing the game. What she meant by drinking was that she wanted to get to know them better to see if they could hit off. If they got along well, then it was unquestionably a night’s out after that.
Tian Haoran refused her politely. “I’m sorry. We can treat you to a drink, but we won’t be going over. Enjoy, beauty. But remember to pay attention to your own safety.” As children raised by Qiao Nan, all three of them were very self-disciplined and would not fall for such a trap. Not everyone lacked self-discipline and was an animal that needed to let it out.
Such things would only feel good if involved parties had feelings for each other.
Actually, it was not just because of Qiao Nan’s education. Their parents had all gotten together because of their feelings for one another. A good relationship between parents would always have a good impact on their children. Tian Haoran and his friends were rather old-fashioned in this aspect and were not the kind to mess around.
They were unlike those young people who liked to play around. Many parents did not really bother about how their own children played around outside. What they cared about was that their daughter should find a partner like the children of the Zhai family. Only children like that could keep their daughter down to earth.
Of course, families with sons also felt that marrying a wife like Zhai Yu would allow them to lead a simple and honest life. They could not appreciate the vibrant and colorful lives of young people nowadays. Their mindsets were old-fashioned and could not be changed. Otherwise, if their son brought home just any woman on the street, they would even have to worry about whether the baby in her stomach was their son’s.
“Handsome, let’s just have a chat and make friends.” That woman did not know how to give up. She was used to playing around, and her eyes were smoking hot. Even though the trio had not ordered expensive wine, she could tell from their clothes that these three people were not the kind who dressed up in expensive clothing just to show off.
This woman also felt that they were handsome and tall. If they were rich as well, he would not just be a target for a one-night stand. They were clearly candidates for marriage!
This one-night stand could turn into scoring a good husband. When would she ever get a second chance like this? As such, she refused to give up easily. She wondered if this was the first time that these three handsome guys had come to a place like this. Were there still tall, handsome, and rich guys who were still innocent?
If it was really true, she was in luck!
Gao Feng lifted up his chin. “Beauty, if you want to make friends, I think those few people over there seem interested. Why don’t you give it a shot?” He had bumped into such a hard wall after getting into an early relationship. To be honest, Gao Feng had become a little frightened at the thought of women because of his encounter with Ma Yuanyuan.
Even though he was already a university student, and it would no longer be an early relationship, Gao Feng was not yet prepared to get into one. Since he was not planning on getting into a relationship, Gao Feng was even more so unwilling to ‘make friends’ like this. Gao Feng was worried that he might ‘make’ a friend tonight but get a good beating from his mom and dad once they found out about it tomorrow.
The young lady’s expression soured. She had already thrown herself at them, but not only had they refused, but they had even offered her to someone else! The lady pouted and eyed the trio uncomfortably.
