Wang Yu's heart stirred upon hearing Guo Xuyang speak, knowing he was hinting at her, but she remained silent.
She could sense that Guo Xuyang's words were not spoken without reason, as if they carried a deeper meaning.
"Girls nowadays never cherish themselves, only regretting it when it's too late," Pi Xiaoqian remarked.
"Beauty is fleeting, only affection lasts.
Everyone knows Jingjing from the harbor. Many people are pessimistic about them, but they still love each other immensely.
How can they achieve this? It's because they share common ideals and common hobbies," Guo Xuyang continued, picking up the conversation.
"Whether it's dressing or shopping philosophy, Jingjing is very simple and always presents a positive image.
It's said that people like this are very lucky for their husbands."
"Let's not talk about others, just the women in your household, don't they all have their own careers?" Pi Xiaoqian said.
"Yes. In my heart, everyone is useful. In my impression, there are no idle people.
If anyone considers themselves superior or acts recklessly due to their high status, I think they are not far from being abandoned," Guo Xuyang nodded.
"I strongly agree with your philosophy.
As human beings, even if we don't make great contributions to the world, we must know our place.
No one achieves success easily, but successful people are always disciplined," Pi Xiaoqian nodded.
"Mr. Guo, are you lecturing us?" Wang Yu complained playfully.
"No, I'm just speaking from my heart. Alright, let's hurry up, it's getting late," Guo Xuyang said, leading the way to the elevator.
By the time everyone reached the ground, it was completely dark.
They had gone down after lunch and didn't expect to be delayed for so long.
Guo Xuyang helped Pi Xiaoqian find seven decorative pieces, and then Wang Yu found a piece of supreme jade.
Time had quietly slipped away.
Xia Li went upstairs to invite Li Minxi and her sisters to Jun Yue, but was refused.
"Lily, I'm not going. I ate a bit too much at lunch, you all go ahead," Li Minxi said.
"Are your friends still going?"
"Yangyang, ask the sisters if they're still going for dinner?" Li Minxi looked up and asked Lin Ziyang.
"I'll go ask. I'm not planning to go. I've eaten too well these past few days, my body has visibly gained weight," Lin Ziyang said with a smile.
"If you don't want to go, then don't. Let everyone decide for themselves," Li Minxi said, then lay back on the bed.
For some reason these days, she felt noticeably drowsy.
Could it be due to pregnancy?
Lin Ziyang went out and asked around, then returned to tell Xia Li, "Hello, they're all unwilling to go.
They're all starting to diet now. The food has been too good these past few days, and they're afraid they won't be able to control themselves, so they dare not go again."
Xia Li chuckled upon hearing this.
"Alright, then you all rest."
Guo Xuyang saw Xia Li return alone and was a little puzzled.
"Why did you come back alone? Where are Xiaoxi and the others?"
"They all said they're not going. Afraid they can't control their appetites," Xia Li said with a smile.
"What's going on here?"
"They all said the food at the restaurant is too delicious, and they're afraid they won't be able to control themselves if they go. Xiaoxi's friend even said she's gained weight these past two days."
"Is that so? Why don't I feel like I've gained weight?"
"Speaking of which, you're much more robust now than before.
When I first met you, how much did you weigh? And how much do you weigh now?" Pi Xiaoqian wasn't going to spare him.
"How much did I weigh before?"
"I remember when we first met, you weighed at most 120 jin. Now you must be around 140 jin?" Pi Xiaoqian said.
Guo Xuyang realized he had indeed gained weight, and his body had become more solid.
Since acquiring his extraordinary ability, his body and mind had undergone significant changes.
The biggest change was his increasing desire for women.
Nowadays, he couldn't go a night without a woman, and if he didn't engage in physical activity, he felt restless.
He didn't know when his body had changed like this.
If he didn't exercise, his body would uncontrollably flush.
He had never paid attention to it before, but now, thinking back, he felt a sense of dread.
With so many women around him, he could indulge his desires.
But what if he went to space or some other place where there were no women?
He dared not imagine it.
However, thinking of Yu'er and Ye Zi, he felt a bit better.
These two were inseparable from him, and they should be able to help alleviate his awkwardness then.
But if he really agreed to go to space with Jiang Qixin, he couldn't possibly isolate everyone's sight and hearing to do such things, could he?
That would be too absurd.
What would others think of him?
He truly didn't dare to imagine that scene.
"Yangzi, what are you thinking about? Spacing out?" Pi Xiaoqian patted his shoulder.
"Huh? No. Let's go. If they don't want to go, then so be it," Guo Xuyang snapped back to attention.
"Alright then," Pi Xiaoqian said, squeezing into his car.
Wang Yu also got into the car.
"Don't you guys have cars? Why are you getting in mine?"
"I'm not driving. I don't know what the situation will be like with drinking later."
"You could let Wang Yu drive," Guo Xuyang rolled his eyes.
"Xiao Yu doesn't know how to drive yet."
"I say, aren't you too slow? What's so difficult about driving this car?
They say if you tie a bun to the steering wheel, even a dog can drive it," Guo Xuyang said, smiling at Wang Yu.
"Mr. Guo, I'm not as you imagine. I just haven't had the time to learn to drive. Otherwise, I would know."
Guo Xuyang felt he had spoken too much and quickly said, "No time?
Don't you have two or three months of break before school starts? Didn't you learn then?"
"No. I used those three months to work as a tutor and earn enough money for my tuition," Wang Yu said proudly.
"Really? You're that capable?" Guo Xuyang was surprised by Wang Yu's answer.
"Of course. My family's financial situation isn't very good. At the time of enrollment, my family couldn't scrape together my tuition fees at all.
I had to take on part-time jobs and worked three jobs during that vacation to gather enough for my tuition and living expenses."
"Three jobs?" This time it was Guo Xuyang's turn to be astonished.
"Yes. I mainly tutored, and also distributed flyers and worked as a freelance writer."
"I really don't know much about your family," Guo Xuyang said.
"Your businesses are dealing with hundreds of thousands or even billions of funds casually, I truly envy that to death.
My family's annual income is less than thirty thousand yuan.
My parents are farmers who toil in the fields. They work hard all year round and still earn less than thirty thousand yuan.
I also have a younger brother, who is now in the second year of high school. His monthly tuition and living expenses are all subsidized by the tutoring I do now."
