Chapter 95: Appeasing Jealousy
Su Xing’er left shortly after Jiang Ruoyou. As she walked out, she saw Jiang Ruoyou putting on her dress.
” Sister Jiang, Are you alright?”
” Ah! Xing’er…”
” Hmm? Your legs are shivering a bit.” Su Xing’er looked at the startled Jiang Ruoyou with suspicion. Not to mention, her face was red.
” Umm…I guess I practiced my kicks a bit too much today. And I just came out of the shower. So maybe…That’s the reason?” Jiang Ruoyou spoke in a stuttering voice.
” Ahh, I see, I see…” Su Xing’er nodded with understanding. When both of them returned to the longue, they saw Jia Hao sitting on a couch and playing with his phone.
” Huh? Where did you go?” Su Xing’er looked at Jia Hao and asked.
” I went to shower after exercising a bit.” Jia Hao chuckled as he put back the phone and took out a manual.
” Here, something for both of you.”
Jiang Ruoyou took it and started to flip it. Suddenly, her expression changed as she started to flip it faster and faster. Confusion, excitement, shock, and strangeness, Jiang Ruoyou’s expression changed a lot of times in a few breaths.
” This…This is Eight Trigram Palms? This…But this feels different! I need to read more.” Jiang Ruoyou hurriedly spoke. ” Where did you get this?”
” This is an improvised version of Eight Trigram Palms. As for the source, even if I tell you, you won’t understand.” Jia Hao shrugged.
” However, I believe this will help you very much, It will clarify most of your doubts and save you from unnecessary movements.”
” And, I already have a copy for you, Xing’er. So, No need to look at me like that.”
” Hmph, At least you have some conscience.” Su Xing’er puffed her cheeks as she looked at Jiang Ruoyou, who was still engrossed in the manual.
” Sister Jiang, Is this thing legit?”
” I didn’t read everything. However, it’s much similar to the original technique of Eight Trigram Palm passed down in my family.” Jiang Ruoyou nodded.
” However, I still planning to study it thoroughly. You should also take a look at the copy, Su Xing’er. And if you have any questions, you can ask me.”
” Thank you, Sister Jiang! You are a real help!” Su Xing’er became happy instantly when she heard her.
” Alright, Since our work is done, let’s go back?”
Su Xing’er looked at Jia Hao and nodded. ” En, It’s already time. We should go back.”
As they left the Southern Edge Dojo, Jia Hao looked at Su Xing’er.
” What is it? Are you angry with me?”
” Hmph, Why would I?” Su Xing’er replied in a curt voice. ” Or, Are you thinking because you DID something that might irk me?”
” Ugh? What did I do? You can tell me, and I will tell the truth.” Jia Hao rubbed his palm as he walked with Su Xing’er.
” You! You said you were going to sleep over at a friend’s house last night?”
” Yes?”
” Where did you go?”
” A friend’s house?”
Su Xing’er’s lips twitched as she tried to calm herself. ” And, Who is that friend?”
” Lin Mei.”
” Damn it! Jia Hao, you are really bold, Huh?” Su Xing’er chided. ” You actually went to sleep at a girl’s house?”
” What’s the problem?” Jia Hao shrugged. ” She said she was getting bored while being alone. So, she invited me to her house.”
” But, How do you know?”
Su Xing’er snorted as she pulled out her phone, showing a picture.
It looks like Lin Mei took a pic of Jia Hao and her hand over the dumpling plates, with the caption: ‘Me and…A handsome pervert’.
‘ Ah, So that’s why she took that picture.’
Realization dawned in Jia Hao’s mind as he finally understood how Su Xing’er came to know it.
” Wait, Doesn’t that mean you are following Lin Mei on social media? I thought you didn’t liked her?” He raised his brows, looking at Su Xing’er with suspicion.
” Ugh, I just…Got curious, ok?” Su Xing’er snorted lightly. ” Who would have expected that you actually spent a night there.”
” Hehe, Xing’er, Are you feeling jealous?” Jia Hao grinned as he crossed his arms.
” Wh-Why would I? I have no reason.”
Su Xing’er turned away, trying to hide her face. However, Jia Hao didn’t back down.
” Oh, Xing’er, Don’t worry. We didn’t do anything. At least not the things you are thinking?”
” Hmph? You are talking like you know what I am thinking.”
” Yep.” Jia Hao nodded. ” We didn’t have sex.”
” Ughh… I didn’t need to know that.”
Su Xing’er’s face was like a tomato as she increased the pace of her walking. Jia Hao couldn’t help but shake his head.
‘ Heh, Even being a mature girl, she gets easily flustered by lewd things.’
” I just cooked something for her and then we watched movies. That’s all. Then we went to sleep.”
” Sleep? You slept together?” Su Xing’er asked again.
” Uh…No? I mean, In the same room, but with separate beds. We stayed till late as we were talking with each other.” Jia Hao chuckled.
” Well, Xing’er, I guess that’s my fault? How about this? How should I compensate for you metal damage?”
” You can’t compensate.” Su Xing’er huffed. Jia Hai laughed lightly.
” Lady, There isn’t anything in the world that can be compensated. Just ask me what do you want from me?”]
” Hmph, At least you are a bit considerate.” Su Xing’er muttered. ” However, I won’t ask anything for now. Let me think and I shall let you know.”
” Alright. For now…Let me buy you a crepe.”
” Huh? Thanks.”
Su Xing’er enjoyed the crepe along with Jia Hao as they talked about the upcoming tournament. Su Xing’er was excited as she agreed to go with Jiang Ruoyou to represent Southern Edge Dojo,
As they were about to reach Su Family Mansion, Jia Hao’s phone rang. It was none other than Feng Yunshi.
” How? How did you get those videos?”
” Your reply is pretty late though?” Jia Hao chuckled. ” I already sent you last night. I didn’t think it would be such crucial information.” Feng Yunshi spoke in an apologetic tone.”
