Chapter 1250: Chapter 1239: Brother-in-Law, Teach Me Martial Arts
“Of course, I’m a master. I can use my inner strength to force the alcohol out, completely harmless to my body.”
Ning Fan was self-satisfied, full of smugness on his face.
“Really?” Xu Xiaoqing’s eyes turned, she quickly grabbed Ning Fan’s arm, affectionately saying, “Ning Fan, you’re such a master, a hero, unbeatable in martial arts, loved by everyone, flowers bloom at your sight…”
“Alright, alright…”
Ning Fan waved his hand, interrupting her long-winded flattery, pursing his lips, “So, what trick are you up to now?”
“It’s simple, teach me martial arts?”
Xu Xiaoqing’s eyes were full of pleading, her little face slightly red.
“Didn’t I teach you martial arts before?”
Ning Fan looked at her curiously.
“The martial arts you taught before were too complicated, I couldn’t learn it.”
Xu Xiaoqing pouted, displeased, “Just teach me some simple martial arts.”
Ning Fan immediately looked up at the sky, nostrils flaring, with an arrogant expression as if he ruled the sky, the earth, and the air. He pointed at his cheek and shamelessly said, “As long as you give me a kiss, I’ll agree.”
“Shameless!”
Xu Xiaoqing’s delicate voice was filled with slight anger, her chest heaving intensely, showing her anger, “You’re my sister’s fiancé, even if we are close, it can’t go to that extent.”
In fact, Xu Xiaoqing’s heart was conflicted.
As the saying goes, beauties love heroes, and she couldn’t escape it. Through all this time together, she found Ning Fan more and more pleasing to the eye, and her feelings grew deeper.
She thought, if only she had a boyfriend like him, how wonderful that would be.
Under the guidance of this thought, her interactions with Ning Fan became more intimate, sometimes crossing the line, enough to make Xu Ruolan frown.
Even so, Xu Xiaoqing remained oblivious, as her feelings subtly and gradually took shape.
She longed to have closer daily interactions with Ning Fan.
However, since Ning Fan was her future brother-in-law, she couldn’t easily cross the line, which was a huge regret.
Comparing with Ning Fan, Xu Xiaoqing felt that the students pursuing her at school were so ignorant and immature, she wasn’t impressed by any of them.
Her criteria for a boyfriend aligned with Ning Fan, needing humor, romance, and the ability to indulge her.
Such a man was really hard to find.
Most importantly, Ning Fan was handsome, nearly perfect.
Seeing her gentle refusal, Ning Fan immediately took large strides forward, his voice trailing off.
“If you’re unwilling, forget it. I won’t force you, after all, the path of martial arts isn’t for everyone.”
Martial arts?
Female knight?
Heroes?
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoqing was stunned there, those terms floating in her mind, her gaze toward Ning Fan carried a hint of injustice.
Women are naturally emotional thinkers, a combination of romanticists and perfectionists.
In her view, roaming the Jianghu with her beloved, wielding a sword across the world, wasn’t out of reach, it was just a matter of finding that person.
Moreover, with the Xu Family’s background and support, after Xu Chengyuan’s passing in the future, it would split in half, each sister taking one part.
With that family fortune, even if Xu Xiaoqing did nothing all her life, she wouldn’t be able to finish it all.
Even traveling the world with her lover, she’d have more than enough.
Of course, if she could be with Ning Fan, it would be excellent.
Ning Fan, however, was unaware of her little thoughts, and he walked further and further away.
Xu Xiaoqing hurried to catch up, clinging to his arm, leaning on his shoulder, and voiced her grievance, “Your request just now was too much, can we change it?”
“Then a hug will do, flower girl.”
Ning Fan turned to smile, with a hint of mischief, then he hummed a little tune, appearing indifferent.
“Oh, hug a hug, that hug, hugging that little sister bending over with laughter…”
“You!”
Xu Xiaoqing was so angry her lips twisted in fury, she’d never seen someone so unreliable.
But just a hug was no big deal, after all, it didn’t break any boundaries.
Even among family, to express affection, they hug each other, which is perfectly fine.
For her martial arts dream, Xu Xiaoqing was willing to risk it all.
She chased after Ning Fan, recklessly embracing him, resting her little head on his chest, feeling extremely cozy.
It was like a peaceful harbor, providing an unprecedented sense of calm and security, even if a great flood surged outside, her heart remained tranquil.
She truly wished for this moment to pause, wishing they could become a sculpture of intertwined embrace, to last forever.
Ning Fan felt her petite body slightly trembling in front of him, he lowered his head to look.
He saw Xu Xiaoqing had closed her eyes, awkwardly resting on his chest, her eyebrows trembling without a twitch, showing the budding shyness of a young girl.
A faint fragrance wafted over, Ning Fan couldn’t help sniffing, and with an intoxicated smile, “Girl, whoever marries you in the future will be blessed, your fragrance fills the house, it smells so good.”
“Hmph, definitely not you!”
Xu Xiaoqing pouted her lips with a delicate mutter, pushing Ning Fan away, her face stern, “Only a knowledgeable and reasonable woman like my sister can endure someone like you. If it weren’t for repaying your life-saving grace by offering herself, you’d be destined to remain single, living a hundred lifetimes in solitude.”
“Geez, your curse is way too harsh, you little girl!”
Ning Fan laughed without any goodwill, chasing after her with his arm draped on her shoulder, casually.
Xu Xiaoqing turned her head, glancing at his hand, but didn’t push it away, her face flushed red, pretending not to notice, she murmured, “Since my sister found someone like you who’s so freewheeling, I have to find someone even better or else I’d be outclassed by my sister.”
“Haha, you’ll never find one in your lifetime.”
Ning Fan shook his head, smirked with a pout.
“What’s so vain about it?”
Xu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at him, but on second thought, Ning Fan was probably right. Finding another boyfriend as considerate as Ning Fan, or someone who surpasses him, isn’t just difficult, it’s especially difficult.
After chatting with Xu Xiaoqing for several hours, it finally came to her class time.
“How about you hang out at our school for the afternoon, then go home with me at night?”
“Sure!”
Ning Fan smiled slightly, agreeing without a doubt.
“Then wait for me at the campus gate this evening, we must see each other.”
Xu Xiaoqing’s beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, she gave Ning Fan a deep look, turned, and hurriedly departed.
If not for her classes, she wished she could be with Ning Fan every moment, Ning Fan was truly her ideal, no wonder her sister was so captivated by him, it wasn’t without reason.
After Xu Xiaoqing left, Ning Fan turned around and walked toward the campus exit.
After all, he had a few hours to wait, and Xu Xiaoqing had already shown him around the entire campus; he’d wandered Zhonghai University countless times before, and there was nothing new.
After exiting the school gate, Ning Fan frowned, closed his eyes, and perceived for a moment, smirking to himself.
