"That's not true. Do I look like such a stingy person?" Zheng Yubai explained quickly.

"Then you have to accept it, otherwise your sister will be sad. Don't you know how she feels about you?" Yu Luo widened his eyes and stared at Zheng Yubai, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

"I..." Zheng Yubai was speechless. He wanted to refuse, but was afraid that Xu Jin and Yu Luo would misunderstand him. Just as he was in a dilemma, he heard footsteps and Xu Jin came downstairs.

"Luo Luo's heart really can't hide anything..." Seeing Yu Luo hiding behind the car, Xu Jin smiled and said to Zheng Yubai, "I wanted to give you a surprise, how about it, do you like it?"

"I like it." Seeing that Xu Jin looked much more radiant than before, Zheng Yubai couldn't say no. Even if he was emotionally dull, he understood Xu Jin's feelings.

However, Zheng Yubai couldn't tell how far the relationship between the two would develop. He didn't even know whether his feelings for Xu Jin were in some way related to love.

In some aspects, Zheng Yubai was really slow. He suddenly thought of the side effects of the aliens' superpowers, and wondered if the dullness in emotional intelligence was a side effect of the super learning and memory abilities of the four-eyed double pupils.

However, Zheng Yubai did not think that being slow was a bad thing. He still remembered what his father had said, that this world was nothing more than a survival game, and one must have a strong will. To maintain or even enhance the ability to survive, slowness was essential. Rather than having a sharp sensitivity, it was better not to be discouraged by most things. This slow and tenacious will was the advantage that allowed many species to survive in the long evolution and change.

It is precisely because of his father's teachings since childhood that Zheng Yubai, who is originally gentle, is not tepid when facing anything. In his opinion, nothing in the world is a big deal. Although he will kill people because of K's sneak attack and sometimes stand up for the weak, he always maintains a calm attitude.

The current ambiguous relationship with Xu Jin is a headache for Zheng Yubai. Since he can't think of a solution for the time being, he will just let it develop slowly and naturally. The slow-witted Zheng Yubai always likes to mix these two sentences together: There is always a way out when you reach the mountain, and there is always another village after the dark clouds and flowers.

"Try the car." Xu Jin handed over a car key.

Zheng Yubai nodded and started the car amid Yu Luo's cheers. Xu Jin sat in the passenger seat, and Yu Luo sat in the back seat, fastening his seat belt while doubting Zheng Yubai's driving skills.

The garage door slowly opened, and the Q7 climbed onto the ground. Zheng Yubai had only driven a Maserati President before, and that was completely different from the Q7. However, most of the driving skills were common, and he quickly became familiar with the driving skills of the Q7, drove out of the community, and sped on the highway.

"Slow down!" Yu Luo screamed when she saw Zheng Yubai had reached a speed of 180 kilometers per hour. However, Xu Jin did not look panicked at all, but just smiled faintly as he watched Zheng Yubai driving with full concentration.

"A man is most attractive when he is doing something seriously." Xu Jin thought to himself.

Zheng Yubai had no idea that he had unknowingly forgotten to concentrate his energy and spirit. When he was concentrating, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes and four pupils appeared faintly on the car window.

After returning from the test drive, I went home and took a nap. When I woke up, Xu Jin had already prepared dinner.

"Yubai, your work is reversed day and night. If you continue like this, it will have a great impact on your health." After serving Zheng Yubai a full bowl of rice, Xu Jin said with concern.

Yu Luo was yelling at the side: "Sister, you are biased. You gave me so little!"

"Don't you want to lose weight?" Xu Jin glared at Yu Luo who was "making trouble".

Xu Ruoyu said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, he's fine."

Zheng Yubai smiled at Xu Jin: "Uncle has said so, you can rest assured."

"But you still have to practice with my father." Xu Jin said anxiously, "Will there be enough time?"

Xu Ruoyu slowly ate the rice in the bowl, but he pricked up his ears to listen to Zheng Yubai's answer. Zheng Yubai scratched his head: "Although there is no progress yet, I believe I can do it."

"Do you really think it's that simple? What do you think after a night?" Xu Ruoyu put the bowl heavily on the table, seemingly dissatisfied with Zheng Yubai's answer.

"Not yet." Zheng Yubai said honestly. The iron beans had been bothering him. The black and white beans were exactly the same. How could he tell them apart in the dark? If Xu Ruoyu wasn't the famous king of thieves, he would even suspect that he was deliberately bluffing him.

Xu Ruoyu's face was obviously not very good. He snorted heavily, stopped talking, picked up the bowl, ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and went back to his room. Xu Jin said to Zheng Yubai awkwardly, "Dad is just like this. Don't mind it."

"Maybe I'm too stupid and made my uncle angry." Zheng Yubai said helplessly. He ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, then came to Xu Ruoyu's room with the iron bag of broad beans and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Xu Ruoyu's voice rang out, still with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Zheng Yubai walked into the room and said to Xu Ruoyu, "Uncle Xu, I am a dull boy and a slow learner. I can't really tell the difference between these iron beans."

"Are you discouraged after just one night?" Xu Ruoyu's face became uglier and uglier. "Don't talk nonsense. Pick the beans for me again."

If it were someone with a bad temper, he would have been irritated and driven away by Xu Ruoyu's attitude, but Zheng Yubai knew that Xu Ruoyu was doing it for his own good.

He had been practicing martial arts with his father since he was young, and had seen worse attitudes and more outrageous tortures than Xu Ruoyu, and had endured them all. If his father's teaching method was used on others, it might have left a shadow on their childhood. However, because of his slightly dull personality, Zheng Yubai didn't take anything to heart, and always maintained a stable mentality, so there were no sequelae.

Zheng Yubai never blamed his father for teaching him boxing when he was a child. He knew his father was doing it for his own good, but he was just a little too impatient. In recent years, his father has grown older, and although his impatient temper has been restrained a lot, he is still a hot-tempered person. Compared with him, Xu Ruoyu is simply a kind and amiable old man.

Because of his childhood experience as a foundation, Zheng Yubai did not disobey Xu Ruoyu's intention at all and quickly opened the bag and sorted it.

Zheng Yubai's practice last night was not in vain, this time he was much faster. He also clearly felt that the strength and agility of his fingers and palms had increased, although the degree was very slight. That was because he had practiced hard since he was a child, and all parts of his body had been trained to a very high level, so the further improvement would only be very slight.

Although Xu Ruoyu looked unhappy and a little dissatisfied with Zheng Yubai, he gradually softened when he saw that his movements were much faster than yesterday. (To be continued)
