Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 369: The Person Who Matters


"What?" Guan Xiaonan, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, suddenly looked at him with a face full of confusion, obviously as if she hadn't heard clearly!

Ye Xiao repeated, "Your house!"

Guan Xiaonan immediately looked at Ye Xiao with confusion and asked, "My house? My house isn't a noodle shop; how could we possibly have zhajiangmian? Although there are a lot of ingredients in my family's fridge, and we could make zhajiangmian, no one at my house can actually make truly delicious zhajiangmian."

Ye Xiao immediately pointed to himself!

Seeing Ye Xiao point at himself, Guan Xiaonan was even more puzzled!

"What do you mean?" Guan Xiaonan asked, perplexed.

Ye Xiao said, "As long as there are enough ingredients, I can make you some really tasty zhajiangmian!"

"What?" Guan Xiaonan was shocked after hearing Ye Xiao's words. She looked at him in disbelief and said, "You mean, you can cook? And zhajiangmian, at that?"

Ye Xiao chuckled "heh heh" and said, "Just give me a chance to show you my skills, and I guarantee you'll taste zhajiangmian you won't soon forget!"

Guan Xiaonan immediately hesitated because, at noon, there was basically no one at her house. Could it be that she and Ye Xiao, a woman and a man alone, would go to her place?

Ye Xiao was so clever; even one of his hair strands pulled out was cleverness itself, so he immediately looked at Guan Xiaonan very seriously and said, "Classmate Guan Xiaonan, what are you thinking? You're not imagining that I'd go to your house and then do something inappropriate to you, are you? Let me tell you, if you have such thoughts, it only shows that your mind is not pure enough, oh no, it should be that you yourself are not pure enough. My integrity is not to be insulted so easily!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Guan Xiaonan was suddenly embarrassed. She wondered how Ye Xiao could have guessed her thoughts, but being too proud to admit it, she immediately retorted stiffly, "Don't flatter yourself; it's not like you think, I don't have such indecent thoughts. I was just thinking about what vegetables we have at home. Humph, since you said you can make zhajiangmian, what if you can't do it?"

Ye Xiao, upon hearing Guan Xiaonan's words, immediately smiled "heh heh," elated on the outside and even more thrilled inside, but he still said, "Doubting my culinary skills? That's an insult to my integrity. I tell you, if I can't make zhajiangmian that satisfies you, I will easily devote myself to you, giving you my pure body."

"Get lost, who wants your body!" Guan Xiaonan rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao and said, "How about this? If I'm not satisfied with the zhajiangmian, you have to call me 'Big Sister' in front of a lot of people, how about that?"

Guan Xiaonan said this with a triumphant look on her face!

Hearing Guan Xiaonan's words, Ye Xiao pretended to have some difficulty as he replied, "Ah? In front of a lot of people? That... that seems a bit embarrassing!"

Seeing Ye Xiao's troubled expression, Guan Xiaonan thought she had finally found Ye Xiao's sore spot and said with a smirk, "What's wrong? Weren't you very confident? Where'd all your confidence go?"

Looking at Guan Xiaonan's triumphant face, Ye Xiao chuckled inside and said, "Alright, I agree, but it would be unfair if only I had a punishment!"

"Unfair?" Guan Xiaonan immediately asked with much curiosity; however, she figured that as long as she said the zhajiangmian wasn't good, she would win for sure. So Guan Xiaonan said, "Fine, what do you propose to make it fair? I'll give you a chance this time!"

Ye Xiao immediately said with a smile, "It's simple, I need a condition too!"

Guan Xiaonan said, "Alright, spit it out!"

Ye Xiao stepped forward, leaning in with a mischievous smile, and whispered to Guan Xiaonan, "If you say the zhajiangmian I make is delicious, then you have to give me three minutes of your time, during which your body must be mine!"

"What?" Guan Xiaonan looked at Ye Xiao with a start, shaking her head fervently, and said, "No way, absolutely not, what are you thinking? That's totally out of the question!"

Ye Xiao immediately said, "What are you thinking about? Listen well, it's three minutes, not thirty minutes. Do you think I'm that lacking? I definitely won't do anything inappropriate in three minutes."

Three minutes!

As Guan Xiaonan listened to Ye Xiao's words, she suddenly felt there might be some truth to what he was saying. What can be done in three minutes? Getting in bed? That would be utter nonsense; after all, Ye Xiao was also a Martial Artist. How could it be all over in just three minutes? Though Guan Xiaonan had never done that thing, as an innocent young girl, she had still looked up that sort of information.

Seeing Guan Xiaonan mulling things over, Ye Xiao suddenly laughed "heh heh" and said, "If you're unwilling, then forget it. Seems like you're just afraid my zhajiangmian will be delicious!"

"I'm afraid of you?" Guan Xiaonan replied defiantly upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, and said to him, "Hmph, I'll have you know I absolutely don't believe you can make a zhajiangmian that'll satisfy me. Alright, since you're so eager to try, I'll give you a chance. But don't you regret it later, and you'd better not go back on your word if you lose!"

"Of course, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond; am I, Ye Xiao, that kind of person?" Ye Xiao said with pride!

Guan Xiaonan said, "Okay, let's go then. We've still got exams to take in the afternoon, an exam at three o'clock. Oh, by the way, are you quick at making zhajiangmian?"

"Pfft, what a question. Did you forget that I'm a Martial Artist? Moreover, the Inner Strength True Qi I cultivate is of the Fire Element. So, as long as I'm willing, I don't even need a physical flame. I can cook the zhajiangmian with my Inner Power True Qi!" Ye Xiao declared proudly!

Guan Xiaonan said, "Don't get cocky. Wait until you've actually made zhajiangmian that satisfies me before you gloat!"

Ye Xiao immediately said with indifference, "Let's go. If we keep delaying, I believe we will definitely be late for the exam!"

After that, Ye Xiao and Guan Xiaonan quickly made their way to the Q Rui!

Once they got on the Q Rui, the two of them raced towards Guan Xiaonan's place!

"Can I ask you a question?" Ye Xiao, who was gripping the steering wheel, turned to Guan Xiaonan seated beside him.

"What is your relationship with Xiong Tao right now?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile.

Guan Xiaonan couldn't help feeling happy upon hearing Ye Xiao's question. In fact, she had always been looking forward to Ye Xiao asking her this, but Ye Xiao had never brought it up.

Women, no matter how strong they are, such as women who have become Martial Artists, feel the same about romance, with no difference in their strength!

Guan Xiaonan was just a girl, not even quite a woman yet, a naive young girl, who placed great importance on the attention of the person she liked!

Guan Xiaonan felt that she shouldn't like this frivolous Ye Xiao, who didn't seem like a good person at all. Yet, for some reason, she still cared about him!

"What kind of relationship do you hope for?" Guan Xiaonan deliberately looked at Ye Xiao who was driving.

Young girls always hope that the man they have feelings for will get jealous over them, even if it's just a little, and they would feel quite delighted!

Hearing Guan Xiaonan's question, Ye Xiao, even with his usual slickness, found himself at a loss for words in this moment.

Ye Xiao himself didn't know what his feelings toward Guan Xiaonan truly were? Was it friendship? Love? Or just a simple attraction to Guan Xiaonan's appearance?

He really didn't know. Just like now, he just wanted to sit with Guan Xiaonan, chat and laugh. He had felt this way when with Ling Shuya, with Zhou Yuyan, and also with Su Yun!

This feeling was subtle and indescribable!

Ye Xiao chose to remain silent!

Guan Xiaonan also chose silence!

The two of them had been chatting non-stop, but suddenly they fell silent.

Before long, the Q Rui pulled into Guan Xiaonan's residential area. Since Ye Xiao had been there once, he knew the way well, and he smoothly parked the Q Rui downstairs.

"Is your dad at home?" Ye Xiao looked up at the building and asked Guan Xiaonan.

Guan Xiaonan immediately raised her eyebrows and said to Ye Xiao, "What's the matter? Scared? If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to fear from the knock at the door."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao burst into laughter and said, "I haven't done anything wrong. I'm just asking. If he's home, I could grab a bottle of liquor; at least we men could drink a couple of shots."

"I'm dizzy!" Guan Xiaonan rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao and said, "My dad is usually not at home during the day, so, you won't need to drink to boost your courage!"

Drink to boost courage?

Ye Xiao immediately wore a helpless face. Was Guan Xiaonan implying he was a coward?

After parking the car, Ye Xiao and Guan Xiaonan went upstairs. Entering the house, Ye Xiao immediately made himself at home, without any restraint. He first went to the bathroom, and then casually grabbed a clean cup from beside the water cooler to pour some water, even turning to Guan Xiaonan and offering, "Shall I get you a cup of water?"

Guan Xiaonan suddenly felt like the house was no longer hers. It seemed as if Ye Xiao was the master of the house!

"You go cook!" Guan Xiaonan immediately shot Ye Xiao a look.

Upon hearing Guan Xiaonan's words, Ye Xiao let out a sly laugh, then headed to the kitchen, saying, "Just you wait, in these three minutes, I could touch everything!"

Guan Xiaonan had intended to go to the kitchen to watch Ye Xiao make Zhajiang noodles, but hearing his remark, her heart sank, knowing full well that Ye Xiao's intentions were not pure at all. She also realized what Ye Xiao meant by those three minutes!

Now, Guan Xiaonan truly regretted it. However, she also knew that Ye Xiao had already arrived at her home, and what happened next was no longer solely up to her. All Guan Xiaonan could think about was that no matter what delicious dishes Ye Xiao made, she would refuse everything in one bite!

Ye Xiao went into the kitchen to make Zhajiang noodles, while Guan Xiaonan wandered around the living room, had a drink of water, and, with nothing better to do, headed straight for the bedroom computer. Skilfully, she booted up the computer and quickly logged into the game League of Legends. Guan Xiaonan was a devoted fan of League of Legends!
