"Can I have a few words with you?" Qin Yufei moved her red lips slightly and gently sent her voice to Li Xiaochen's ear.
What she said, taken literally, is nothing short of ordinary.
But when it comes out of Qin Yufei's mouth, it's like a beautiful libretto that touches the ears, refreshing the heart and spleen, making people feel extremely comfortable.
This ringing voice seemed to have an indescribable magic power that made Li Xiaochen irresistibly turn around and face her.
Li Xiaochen observed it. Qin Yufei's eyes were indeed looking at him.
Was that sentence just said to himself? Li Xiaochen squinted his eyes and glanced at Xiaobi beside Qin Yufei.
He only saw this little maid looking at him eagerly, nodding her head desperately, as if saying to Li Xiaochen: Promise to my lady!
Li Xiaochen frowned slightly and turned to Jiang Mier with a questioning look.
Although Qin Yufei didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that she obviously wanted to talk to him alone.
If Jiang Mier didn't agree, she wouldn't be able to whisper to Qin Yufei in front of everyone.
Jiang Mier was very pleased with Li Xiaochen's "appropriate" behavior.
Although it was just a small gesture, this polite inquiry showed her status in Li Xiaochen's mind.
Jiang Mier smiled generously and said, "I'll wait for you here."
Li Xiaochen received permission, smiled slightly, and left the sports ground with Qin Yufei and Xiaobi.
The members of the student union all opened their eyes wide, as if they had seen the rarest thing in the world.
"Qin Yufei actually takes the initiative to ask a boy to have a private chat? This is a crazy situation!"
"Achen brother Biao, even the iceberg that no one can shake has begun to shake."
"A shocking crisis! Sister Yao has another love rival!"
Tang Yao always hated being dragged into other people's affairs, especially these talkative guys. Her pretty face turned cold: "You are all very idle, aren't you? It seems that I should use a bunch of endless work to keep you all busy." Smash it down!"
"Sister Yao! No! We haven't had any rest for a week!" The whining and complaining sound reached Li Xiaochen from the background.
He looked back with a smile, wondering what kind of iron-blooded policy Tang Yao had imposed on her subordinates.
Qin Yufei also heard those tragic cries. She didn't care at all and just said: "My father wants to see you."
Li Xiaochen thought for a moment and guessed that Xiaobi had already told Qin Yufei about the last time she hired him as her boyfriend on behalf of her young lady.
But when Qin Yufei mentioned this, she obviously agreed with Xiaobi's approach.
According to common sense, someone like Qin Yufei would sneer at such ridiculous things as hiring a boyfriend.
Maybe she really is in big trouble that's hard to solve.
This was not the first time Li Xiaochen had done this kind of work and asked: "What do you need me to do?"
Qin Yufei looked up at the sky and saw the white clouds floating in the blue sky gradually connecting together to form a face that looked exactly like Lin Hanzhi's.
She sighed quietly and stopped moving forward. There was grief in her heart, but she could not vent it. There were tears in her eyes, but she could not cry.
After a while, Qin Yufei let the tears that were swirling in her eyes flow back, swallowed them in her stomach, and breathed out gently: "Be yourself."
The three of them said nothing and went to the school's underground parking lot to pick up the car.
Xiaobi was driving, Li Xiaochen was in the passenger seat, and Qin Yufei was sitting alone in the back.
Li Xiaochen was admiring the noisy city scenery passing by outside the window when he suddenly heard Qin Yufei ask: "Do you believe in fate?"
"Are you asking me?" Li Xiaochen was puzzled, "Why didn't you call me by my name? This could easily make me think you were talking to Xiaobi."
When talking about this topic, Qin Yufei became obviously more relaxed and talked more.
"Do you know what a name is? In ancient times, a given name and a given name are two concepts. A given name follows a surname. Men are crowned at their twenties; women are given a given name at the age of fifteen. Men and women only have a given name after they reach adulthood. Generally speaking,
For example, only elders such as parents and teachers can call him by his first name. Others can call him by his first name at most."
Li Xiaochen smiled and said: "I know this. Just like when Liu Bei calls Guan Yu, he doesn't call him by his first name, but calls him Yunchang. Because calling him by his first name would be rude."
Qin Yufei nodded and said: "So I don't know how to call you. Modern times are different from ancient times. Many people have no words. It would be disrespectful if I call you by your first name directly."
"If you're not used to it, just call me by my full name. Why do modern people care so much? Etiquette and such are long gone."
Qin Yufei has hardly been able to talk to boys in the past three years. She was suddenly called by Li Xiaochen's full name, which was very uncomfortable for this girl who had received traditional education since childhood.
She pondered for a moment, but she couldn't say his name.
Therefore, Qin Yufei had no choice but to mumble: "Answer what I just said."
Li Xiaochen didn't force himself and said with a smile: "Of course I believe in fate. These days, I happen to be reading some books about fate..."
Just as he was about to continue, Xiaobi had parked the car outside a high-end teahouse.
Qin Yufei gave Li Xiaochen a few instructions, mostly about details that she should pay attention to after meeting her father.
This teahouse is considered a very famous consumption place in Yinluo City. People who come here are usually people of high status.
The decoration style is antique, elegant yet grand. As soon as you enter the door, the faint fragrance of tea will slowly float in.
Li Xiaochen followed Qin Yufei and went to the private room on the second floor.
What caught Li Xiaochen's eyes was a middle-aged man wearing a gray and white modern Tang suit.
He had his hair slicked back and was in good spirits. His face looked sharp and angular, resolute and steady.
Qin Yufei came to the man respectfully and called "Dad".
Immediately, she quietly pulled the corner of Li Xiaochen's clothes. The latter understood and followed Qin Yufei in calling him father.
Last time, Li Xiaochen heard from Xiaobi that Qin Yufei's father seemed to be named Qin Yichuan.
From Xiaobi's description, it can be vaguely understood that Qin Yichuan is a stubborn and conservative person.
To deal with this kind of people, you can only use softness to overcome toughness, and never use head-on confrontation. Otherwise, things will become more tense.
Li Xiaochen prepared several plans in his mind, adapting them according to the other party's temperament and preferences.
I hope that I can act as a lubricant to ease the conflict between father and daughter, so as to complete the task forced upon me by Xiao Bi.
But as soon as he shouted "Dad", Qin Yichuan raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Who allowed you to call me that?"
An invisible and powerful light shot out from his eyes. As soon as Li Xiaochen met his eyes, he felt that every inch of his body was being burned by the blazing true fire of purgatory.
In just a moment, it seemed like he was about to be burned to ashes, so he didn't dare to look at her.
Li Xiaochen didn't know what level Qin Yichuan had reached. But what was certain was that his own cultivation was far different from his.
I'm afraid even Qin Yufei is no match for him.
"Dad, can't you talk nicely?" Qin Yufei sat down opposite Qin Yichuan, with a little dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"You still know that I am your father?" Qin Yichuan sneered, "For daughters from other families, all marriage matters are decided by their parents. It would be better for you to go against me!"
Qin Yufei retorted: "Girls from other families are free to love. Unlike you, you insist on interfering in your daughter's marriage."
No matter in the family or in the world of immortality, everyone respects Qin Yichuan. No one dares to make a mistake in front of him.
Even the head of the Xianlun Sect had to be polite and respectful when meeting him.
Qin Yichuan, who was always used to being powerful, unexpectedly gave birth to a daughter who was always against him.
He lamented more than once: This may be God's arrangement.
If Qin Yufei is like an iceberg that never melts for thousands of years, then Qin Yichuan is like a blazing flame that never goes out.
Just like the Tai Chi diagram, the highest yang must be restrained by the yin. But yin and yang are one and the same.
To put it in words that everyone can easily understand, it is: contradictions are ubiquitous. The two sides of the contradiction are both opposite and unified.
Qin Yichuan suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "It would be fine if you were the daughter of an ordinary family. But you are the future of our Qin family. Your husband is probably the future head heir of the Qin family! This affects the entire family.
Your fate is not your business alone. Do you understand?"
Qin Yufei picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I only know that the feelings belong to me alone. Immortal cultivators should take the rise and fall of their families very lightly. Since ancient times, everything from small things to family to big things to the country
, whatever flourishes must eventually dry up, whatever yang must have yin. Dad, why do you have to give me the burden?"
Qin Yichuan couldn't bear it any longer, and became furious and slammed the table: "You are my Qin Yichuan's daughter! This is the responsibility you should take!"
"Then at least I should be allowed to choose someone I like, rather than having everything decided by you." Although Qin Yufei's words were tepid, there was a hidden needle in them that made his father furious.
Li Xiaochen stood aside, looking very puzzled.
It stands to reason that immortal cultivators should be indifferent and indifferent to desire. Why is Qin Yichuan so angry, and his anger will rise when he disagrees?
During these days of practicing Taixuan Tianqing Dao, he personally felt the changes in the Qi of the five internal organs becoming more and more peaceful.
Jiang Mier also said that Taixuan Tianqingdao can harmonize the human body, strengthen the constitution, balance yin and yang in the body, and gradually approach the state of unity between nature and man.
The closer a person is to the Tao, the more natural and healthy he becomes.
Emotions can affect the internal organs. Similarly, regulating the internal organs can also adjust a person's temperament.
Li Xiaochen was not a fool. After thinking for a moment, he came to a conclusion.
After all, the human body is just a house where the divine consciousness lives, which is equivalent to the external environment closest to the divine consciousness.
It is true that the environment can influence people. But it does not determine people.
In other words, Taixuan Tianqingdao can play a supporting role, but it cannot completely change people's nature.
Sure enough, Buddhism is the most thorough. What you practice is your heart, and what you cultivate is your true nature.
Never underestimate the power of the heart.
If you want to change your destiny, you must first change your heart. This is an eternal and wise saying.
After all, your heart affects all your actions.
After thinking about these things, Li Xiaochen smiled knowingly.
Qin Yichuan has great attainments in immortality and has keen senses. Naturally, these subtle facial expressions cannot escape his discernment.
He thought Li Xiaochen was secretly laughing at him, and became even more furious: "Isn't it funny!"
Li Xiaochen was touched by his anger. He quickly put away his smile and shook his head desperately: "No, no. I think Uncle Qin is right. How can there be parents in the world who don't cherish their children? What you did is, on the one hand, for the sake of safety.
Overall, on the other hand, I also want to take care of my daughter's feelings as much as possible. This is your idea of choosing a son-in-law who can satisfy both you and your love. It's just that your love has not yet understood your good intentions."
These words made Qin Yichuan feel very comforted. He argued over and over again just to make his daughter understand and agree with his approach.
Unexpectedly, he failed to convince Qin Yufei, but the kid next to him saw it.
This sense of recognition made Qin Yichuan feel a lot better.
He nodded, hummed, and said, "You are very sensible. Sit down."
