Phoenix's face remained calm, but a spark flickered in her eyes. Her voice, however, was eerily calm as she said, "Hmm, I remember there was a wood-chopping knife by the stove. Where did I put it just now..."
"Ah, Phoenix, what do you need a knife for?" Ya Ya asked, holding her head.
"What for?" Phoenix shrugged, her tone as cold as ashes: "Of course, to kill this philandering little lecher."
Chapter 282 of the main text: [Long Time No See]
No one knows how Chen Xiao spent that night with the one man and four women. Logically, women are most irrational when they're angry. No one knows what method Chen Xiao used to calm the girls' anger and agitation.
However, a few days later, when his best friend Xu Ershao quietly asked him about this, Chen Xiao's expression was very strange. He gave Xu Ershao a deep look and did not answer directly. He only said, "I remember you once taught me something."
"What?"
"I remember you, the Casanova, once said that the most effective and direct way to calm down a girl who is in a state of emotional agitation and irrationality is..."
...
This happened about a year ago during one of Xu Ershao's attempts to pick up girls: Xu Ershao was with a hot girl, who was in a bad mood and upset for some reason. Xu Ershao tried to calm her down but failed, so he used his most ruthless move... Chen Xiao was right next to him and saw Xu Ershao suddenly smile and lean in, using a classic Hollywood hug to pull the still-talking girl into his arms, wrap his arms around her waist, and then kiss her on the lips.
The girl seemed to struggle for a moment, her body stiffening first, then quickly going limp, as if all the bones in her body had been removed, and she collapsed into Xu Ershao's arms...
Afterwards, Xu Ershao said to Chen Xiao with great pride, "When a girl is in such an intense and irrational emotional state, the best way to calm her down is... a passionate French kiss! Kiss her until she's out of her mind, completely captivated, and utterly intoxicated... and then everything will be OK."
Of course, this Casanova Xu Ershao added a special condition to this situation: your kissing skills must reach a certain level.
Xu Ershao, that shameless womanizer, once boasted about this, claiming that his kissing skills had reached a divine level, and his most glorious peak was that he once brought a girl to orgasm with just a kiss... Of course, Chen Xiao completely ignored this almost shameless boast.
...
"You could be..." After hearing Chen Xiao's answer, Young Master Xu stared at Chen Xiao with wide eyes.
Chen Xiao sighed, looking somewhat helpless.
"But... please, you had four girls with you at the time!"
"I know." Chen Xiao nodded dejectedly, "Unfortunately, I didn't think of that beforehand. As a result, my lip was bitten by Phoenix, my face was scratched twice by Zhang Xiaotao, and finally, Xiao Qing's knee hit my lower stomach. If I hadn't dodged quickly, and the knee had landed a little lower..."
...
Okay, let's not delve into this sensitive issue for now.
In any case, that difficult night was over, and fortunately, Chen Xiao survived surrounded by four girls.
At daybreak, Lao Tian and the others arrived at the hiding place on the back mountain to search for Chen Xiao.
When the group arrived at the small house on the back mountain, they saw that almost half of the house had been demolished. It was clear that the girls had vented their anger the night before, and the house had been almost completely wrecked, leaving it in a mess. What was once a perfectly good house had been reduced to ruins.
The group stood in front of the house, looking at the dilapidated door hanging haphazardly. Inside the room, on the earthen bed, several girls were huddled together, wrapped in a tattered blanket and Chen Xiao's coat. Chen Xiao, on the other hand, sat on the floor, leaning against the edge of the bed, looking exhausted, with two bloody welts on his face.
Hearing the commotion outside, Chen Xiao was the first to wake up, and then she saw the astonished looks on everyone's faces.
Old Tian, Zhu Rong, and Gong Gong had strange expressions, while Prince whistled and said, "Kid, you're really something, managing to handle four girls."
Xu Ershao and Bai Cai stood slightly back. Xu Ershao's expression was quite interesting, while Bai Cai's expression was more complicated. Bai Cai glanced at the girls on the bed, then at Chen Xiao, and finally, she seemed to sigh, as if the last bit of trouble in her heart had finally dissipated at that moment. As she sighed, Xu Ershao gently took Bai Cai's hand.
Unlike usual, this time the cabbage only struggled symbolically for a moment before stopping, letting Young Master Xu hold her hand.
"Look, all the seats over there are full." Young Master Xu whispered with a smile in Bai Cai's ear, "The seat next to me has been reserved for you."
Bai Cai tilted her head and saw the clear eyes of the man beside her. His usual playful and carefree demeanor was gone, replaced by earnestness. Suddenly, her heart softened, and she nodded gently. It was as if, at that moment, the last vestige of her obsession vanished with the wind.
The others, Shi Gaofei and Fatty stood together. Shi Gaofei looked at Fatty's dejected expression, smiled, but kicked Fatty and said, "Don't look at it. You're still young. You don't have to be so persistent about many things."
Xu Ershao was in a great mood and was about to rush over to give his good brother a warm hug, but before he could move, a figure pounced on him from behind.
"Chen Xiaojun!!"
Tang Ying's figure was light and swift as she darted out from the crowd and pounced in front of Chen Xiao.
But by this time, the girls had all woken up. Last night's experience was too absurd, and everyone was exhausted after making a ruckus all night.
They had just woken up and saw a crowd of people outside the door. All the girls were shy and none of them were willing to speak first.
However, when they saw Tang Ying rushing towards Chen Xiao... the girls were furious!
We argued about it all night and still couldn't reach a conclusion! And now another one has come along??
Phoenix snorted unhappily and jumped down first, while Xiao Qing was even more decisive. With the best martial arts skills, she flew to block Chen Xiao. When Tang Ying rushed in front of her, Xiao Qing raised her hand to block her, not hiding her displeasure at all. She frowned and said, "What are you doing? What kind of behavior is this, hugging and cuddling like that?"
"Cough cough!"
Chen Xiao felt extremely embarrassed. Tang Ying, blocked by Xiao Qing, was somewhat bewildered. She glanced at Chen Xiao and vaguely sensed the tense atmosphere, but she couldn't help feeling wronged.
Fortunately, Ya Ya and Tang Ying seemed to get along very well. Ya Ya went over and took Tang Ying's hand, smiling warmly and saying, "Oh, you're here too."
Chen Xiao then stood up, looked at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Lao Tian. He touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Long time no see."
"Yes, it has been a 'long time' since we last met." Old Tian saw that Chen Xiao's eyes were clear and his energy was high, indicating that he had clearly returned to normal. He felt quite relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "It really has been a long time, Chen Xiao."
Chen Xiao knew the truth and said with a wry smile, "I caused a lot of trouble before and made things difficult for everyone."
Prince laughed and said, "It's troublesome, but luckily you woke up. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to catch you."
Chen Xiao's memory had mostly returned. Knowing the mess he'd caused a few days ago, he sighed, frowned, and felt a pang of guilt. Fortunately, Old Tian immediately glared at Prince and snapped, "You talk the most nonsense! If it weren't for your antics, you old madman, how could Chen Xiao have ended up like that!"
As he spoke, Lao Tian walked over, but stared at Ya Ya for a moment and said, "Ya Ya, last night..." He originally wanted to ask Ya Ya about meeting JOKER, but when he got to this point, he suddenly felt that there were too many people here and it was not the right place to pursue this matter, so he stopped and then changed his words with a smile, "Let's not talk about it now. Let's leave here. If our group stays here any longer, I'm afraid Xiao Family Town will be in an uproar."
Xiao Qing's expression changed: "Tian..." She had originally intended to call him "Uncle Tian" as before, but ever since she learned about her origins from the old master that day, she now knew that the "Uncle Tian" before her was the extraordinary man surnamed Tian who had bestowed such a great favor upon the Xiao family. He was far older and more senior than her; not only she, but even the old master Xiao would certainly not be qualified to call him "Uncle."
