Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Have the Governor and Conception Vessels Been Cleared?

The next day, Tang Xiaowan woke up at six, didn’t even wash her face, and ran straight to the dining room.

She thought she could finally be the first to arrive, but the two young masters of the Leng Family were already there, seemingly in the middle of a conversation.

As soon as she appeared, they immediately stopped.

"You guys are up early!"

"Yeah, let’s eat."

With few light words from Li Zishen, breakfast was promptly served.

Today, there were soup dumplings and shrimp dumplings.

However, Tang Xiaowan still started with her favorite, the lean meat porridge.

Yesterday, after her third exploration of the library and the study, she was certain that Li Zishen didn’t hide anything shady.

"Xiao Wan, did you sleep well last night?" Li Zishen asked with concern, seeing that Tang Xiaowan seemed preoccupied.

"Um, pretty well."

Although it was pretty well, she felt like someone had been to her room last night.

But this speculation flashed by in an instant.

The privacy in Li Garden was excellent; each room was fitted with locks, either card keys, codes, or fingerprints, with card keys and codes being interchangeable.

"Xiao Wan, if you don’t want to go to Zihan’s at noon, I can have Bai Long pick you up, and you can come back to Li Garden."

Li Zihan: "..."

The young master silently repeated to himself three times, I’m willing, I’m willing, I’m willing...

Tang Xiaowan ate a mouthful of shredded radish, smiled, and said, "No need, I’ll go." Then she took another bite, "Hmm? The taste seems a bit different today, quite refreshing and goes well with rice!"

Li Zishen: "..."

"Nanny Chen, I want to eat this again tomorrow morning."

Nanny Chen glanced at Li Zishen, then quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay."

"Is this a new recipe from Uncle Cai?"

"No, it was Shiqi."

Tang Xiaowan looked at Nanny Chen in surprise, then took another bite, "Wow, the skills are pretty good, almost ready to go professional."

Nanny Chen: "Yes, indeed!"

Li Zishen silently picked up a spoon; he usually favored millet porridge, but now he had no appetite at all.

Was his kindness taken for granted?

A sense of being ignored arose.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally put down the spoon, picked up a fried egg, and stuffed it into his mouth, followed by another.

His cheeks quickly puffed up.

Li Zihan: "..."

Damn, so bold!

He looked up at Tang Xiaowan across him, who was also popping a fried egg into her mouth, and felt enlightened.

Hmm, the saying ’bad company corrupts good character’ really has some truth to it.

Pity my brother’s lifetime reputation, it seems like it’s going to be ruined by you.

Indeed, women are the stumbling blocks to men’s progress!

"By the way, er, we only have two classes this afternoon, and we’ll finish school early, so can we..."

Li Zishen coldly replied, "No."

Li Zihan: "..."

What is wrong with you two, playing charades?

Damn, I need to study this later!

Tang Xiaowan pouted, "Oh, alright." Then she took a shrimp dumpling and ate it in one bite.

Her brows were furrowed, as if she had a grudge against someone.

Li Zishen coughed lightly, "If you’re bored, you can wander around the campus first, Bai Long will come to pick you up at the same time as the day before yesterday."

"Wow, that’s great, I’m so happy!"

The atmosphere in the dining room switched back to being relaxed.

...

Jin City University.

Li Zihan and Tang Xiaowan went their separate ways as soon as they arrived at the comprehensive building.

It was Tang Xiaowan’s idea.

She liked to wander on her own to the Foreign Language College.

Along the way, Tang Xiaowan felt refreshed, as if a mighty force were within her, giving her the sensation of walking with the wind.

Could it be that the silver needles had cleared my governor and conception vessels?

Li Weilian was quite skilled, she thought—she would have him give her a few more needles, and perhaps, she could recover soon!

"Damn, look!"

A bespectacled boy nudged his friend, who was reciting a textbook.

There, Tang Xiaowan, in a flowing long dress, darted freely among the small woods, now hopping onto a stone table, now weaving through high and low bars, with movements both skilled and graceful.

The color was a rosy pink, full of fairy-tale charm.

"This has got to be someone from the physical education department practicing... dodging obstacles, yes, parkour, that’s parkour."

"Yep, but quite beautiful, like flying."

"Maybe she’s a beauty from behind, hahaha."

"Let’s follow and have a look."

The boy with glasses quickly stuffed his textbook into his satchel,

and without waiting for his friend’s response, he had already sprinted far ahead.

East District canteen.

This was the place Tang Xiaowan had checked out on her first day, the largest canteen in the campus area with six floors.

The first floor housed a supermarket, the second floor fast food, the third floor local snacks, the fourth floor offered hot pot and barbecue perfect for gatherings, the fifth floor was a paradise for buffet lovers, and the sixth floor— a campus cinema, used for large job fairs during graduation season.

Tang Xiaowan climbed the stairs to the third floor.

Pushing open the wooden safety door, she found quite a crowd, all there for breakfast.

It was seven thirty, and classes began at eight.

Tang Xiaowan wasn’t worried about time.

She had already calculated—ten minutes to wait for food, ten minutes to eat, and ten minutes to run back to the Foreign Language College was more than enough time.

With her speed, she might even squeeze in a restroom break.

Tang Xiaowan proudly pulled out her phone: "Today, I am rich, no need for anyone else to foot the bill for me, hahaha."

To ensure she had room for more food, she had only eaten until seventy percent full earlier at Li Garden.

After hopping about on her way here, she was down to fifty percent, ready to try anything without any trouble.

Let’s start with the first one!

"Hello, I’d like a serving of steamed pork dumplings with sausage flavor and a seaweed egg drop soup."

"Alright, coming right up, twenty yuan total."

The middle-aged man responded and walked into the cooking area.

Through the glass door, Tang Xiaowan vaguely saw various ingredients being thrown into a metal pot.

Why did it look like there were green vegetables and tomatoes?

Wasn’t it supposed to be seaweed egg drop soup?

Oh, right, the school emphasizes nutritional balance.

Reassuring herself, she unlocked her phone, and soon a loud notification sounded, "WeChat payment received, 20 yuan."

Paying felt awesome, even though the soup was a bit off!

She seriously suspected the man had hearing issues.

Five minutes later, the middle-aged man came out with her tray, five minutes earlier than Tang Xiaowan had anticipated.

Not bad, the vibrant reds and greens looked appealing!

"Thank you, sir."

"You’re welcome, there are napkins over there."

"Great, thank you."

And so her first meal at the large canteen began.

Meanwhile, less than 10 meters away from Tang Xiaowan, a pair of eyes were watching her.

The bespectacled boy had arrived.

The girl had red lips and white teeth, a high nose bridge, and especially those watery, large eyes that seemed to be able to talk when she smiled, very captivating.

So adorable, like an angel!

The bespectacled boy was ecstatic, he’d guessed right, she was not the mere silhouette killer his friend had thought, but a stunning beauty.

"Evidence? Yes, yes, get evidence!"

He had just raised his phone, not yet managed to take a picture, when a strong hand with bulging veins snatched it away.
