Returning after three years of reincarnation in the world of martial arts

Chapter 150 The third round of the competition

Chapter 150

Dragon Palace Feast is a seafood restaurant.

The taxi driver brought Li Zhongwu and Fang Xingtong here. After getting off the car, the two of them raised their eyes to look at the high lintel of the restaurant and the almost full cars in the parking lot in front of it. Kind of trust.

When I came to the store, I asked for a box on the second floor, and ordered a table of seafood and a bottle of red wine.

The two chatted while eating, the atmosphere was not enthusiastic, but it was still harmonious.

Fang Xingtong: "The seafood here is really fresh, it's really convenient to eat seafood in coastal cities!"

Li Zhongwu: "Well, it's not bad!"

Fang Xingtong: "Do you like seafood?"

Li Zhongwu: "Average! You can try it once in a while."

Fang Xingtong was a little surprised, "You only want to taste it occasionally? You invited me to eat seafood tonight, I thought you liked it very much!"

Li Zhongwu smiled, "I have loved meat since I was a child, and no matter how delicious seafood is, it is no more attractive to me than a bowl of braised pork."

Fang Xingtong looked up at him, then smiled and said, "Then I'll make braised pork for you next time."

Li Zhongwu raised his glass, "Thank you."

Fang Xingtong raised his glass, "You're still so polite to me? As long as you nod, I'm willing to cook braised pork for the rest of your life. Do you want to nod?"

When she said this, she looked at Li Zhongwu with a smile in her eyes, and there was a smile on her mouth, but her expression was somewhat serious.

Li Zhongwu looked at her for two or three seconds, smiled lightly, raised his face slightly, drank the red wine in the glass, and said when he put down the glass: "A lifetime is so long, don't make promises lightly."

Hearing what he said, Fang Xingtong looked a little disappointed, drank the red wine in the glass, then got up and picked up the bottle to pour him wine.

While pouring wine, he asked, "You don't believe my promise? You think I'm not trustworthy?"

She approached him to pour wine for him, and the fragrance of her body floated into Li Zhongwu's nose, and it became a little stronger, and her attraction to him naturally increased a little.

After being single for a long time, the body will always be a little bit ready to move towards beautiful women. This is an instinct and it is difficult to suppress.

"No, I can't talk about believing it or not, it's just that I'm not used to listening to other people's promises, but I'm used to observing what the other party does."

Li Zhongwu's words made Fang Xingtong silent for a moment.

because……

If she promises, she can give it immediately, but observing what she does must be long-term, and it is difficult to see why in a short period of time.

And the seventh princess has ordered her to marry him as soon as possible, so she doesn't have much time to wait.

Princess Seven will not wait too long.

She knows that Princess Seven's plan may start in the next year or two, or even in a shorter period of time. She must get Li Zhongwu on board as soon as possible, otherwise, if Princess Seven can't wait, she may not know when. Order her to marry another master of some kind.

This is the worry that has always been in her heart.

Although she has no love for Li Zhongwu so far, since the seventh princess intends to use her marriage to win someone over, she would rather marry Li Zhongwu.

At least she doesn't dislike Li Zhongwu, she thinks that Li Zhongwu is pretty good in all aspects, his appearance is not outstanding, he is also above average, his temperament is even rarer, and his kung fu is very good.

If she can't marry Li Zhongwu, who knows who the Seventh Princess will ask her to marry next time?
Suddenly, Fang Xingtong laughed at himself and sighed, "Did you know? My birthday is coming soon, do you know what it means?"

Li Zhongwu was puzzled and looked up at her.

Fang Xingtong: "This means that the day when I pay the unmarried fine this year is coming soon, and then my parents will have to pay the fine again with me. I don't want to have to pay this fine again this year. Although the fine is not much, but ...feels bad, you understand?"

Li Zhongwu: "?"

He didn't expect her to say this suddenly.

For a while, his mood became a little complicated, because his birthday was not far away. According to the rules of the Dayan Dynasty in this era, he was still unmarried at this age, and he had to pay a fine.

I can't think too much about it, the more I think about it, the more depressed I feel.

Breaking the law by not getting married... Where can I justify this?
"When is your birthday?"

After a few seconds of silence, Li Zhongwu asked her.

Fang Xingtong: "The end of next month."

When she gave this answer, she had already temporarily decided that if he really wanted to register their marriage with her before the end of next month, she would ask her father to change her birth date on the household registration to the end of next month in advance.

Anyway, her father is the deputy city lord of Tianfu City, so to change her household registration and date of birth, all she needs to do is give an order to her assistant.

Li Zhongwu didn't doubt that she would lie about her birthday. Hearing this, he nodded slightly, "I will prepare a birthday present for you then."

Fang Xingtong looked at him speechlessly.

Did she say this to ask him for a birthday present?
Li Zhongwu is not stupid, of course he understands what she means, but he has not yet decided whether to be with her or not, so he can only pretend that he did not understand what she meant, so as not to embarrass each other.

Fang Xingtong's identity and reservedness also made her embarrassed to reveal it.

She also guessed that he was playing dumb on purpose.

She felt a little powerless, and for the first time in her life, she realized that when it comes to relationships, success doesn't depend on hard work.

If there is no urging from the Seventh Princess, she will definitely stop here tonight and will not bring up this topic again.

However, the urging of the Seventh Princess put pressure on her. At this time, she was silent for a moment, and said to Li Zhongwu helplessly: "I believe you should be able to feel my heart for you. I hope you will not let me give to the end. Nothing."

Li Zhongwu frowned slightly, and looked at her again.

It was beyond his expectation that she had spoken to such an extent.

He originally thought that a young lady with her status would respect her status and would not speak clearly when it comes to feelings.

"No, even if we can't get together in the end, you won't get nothing, at least you will learn a lesson."

He smiled and made a joke.

Fang Xingtong: "..."

This joke made her both want to laugh and speechless.

More powerlessness.

She had already spoken to this extent, but he still didn't express his opinion.

She forced a smile and raised her glass, "Let's have another drink!"

Li Zhongwu could feel the depression in her heart, and his heart was also touched. He really started to think about whether to make a decision as soon as possible?Give her a definite answer?

He is not a heartless and heartless person.

It's just that in the past three years or so, there have been many intrigues and fights in the reincarnation worlds, so he has become accustomed to suppressing his feelings, and will not easily fall in love with anyone.

But the words Fang Xingtong said one after another tonight, with more and more obvious hints, let him see her sincerity.

Even though he still didn't feel that she loved him...

However, when he was thinking about marriage, he didn't intend to find a woman who loved him.

Because in recent years, he has felt more and more that men and women may be separated for some reason when they are united together in the future.

For example: if they are united because of money, they will be separated because of lack of money in the future.

Similarly, those who are united because of love may also be separated because of the disappearance of love in the future.

And how long is the shelf life of love?

He didn't think it would be very long.

Of course, he does not reject marrying a woman who loves him.

He just doesn't see love as a necessary condition for union.

Yes, of course, but no, he can accept it.

……

late at night.

In a guest room of Rugui Hotel, Fang Xingtong sat on the head of the bed, closed his eyes and recalled the conversations with Li Zhongwu tonight, feeling powerless again.

She felt that she had lowered her profile to pursue him, but in the end...he just didn't express his position or promise.

It affected her self-confidence quite a bit.

She never thought that one day in the future, the man she fell in love with would look down on herself.

Because she always felt that her conditions were very good.

Appearance, personality, talent, family background... etc., which one is not the best choice in Tianfu City?
When Seventh Princess ordered her to "take down" Li Zhongwu and asked her to find a way to marry him, she was still a little bit wronged, thinking that he was not the type she liked.

The result now?
It was this man who she didn't like at the beginning, who frustrated her confidence time and time again.

In this kind of matter, Tianji Tong, whom she is proud of, can't help her in the slightest.

Even if she wanted to use Tianji pupil to cut some of his luck, she couldn't do it, because she still couldn't see his luck.

If you can't see his luck, how can you cut his luck?

After closing her eyes and meditating for an unknown amount of time, she sighed softly, opened her eyes, picked up her phone, and posted a post asking for help on the Internet.

"How can a man be willing to marry himself?"

After sending out the post, she waited for a while, but no one responded.

She frowned slightly. She estimated that after a while, she couldn't wait for a useful reply, so she simply sent a few more help posts.

"What are the ways to force marriage?"

"How to make an introverted man fall in love with me?"

"How does a rich girl impress an indifferent man?"

……

She posted several similar posts in one breath.

After she finished posting, she finally saw three replies appearing under her first post.

——"If you want a man to be willing to marry you, you must first make sure that he is a "real" man. Some men don't like women these days."

——"This is simple! The traditional methods include 'crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself', while the more modern methods include 'marrying the child', 'following his parents' route', 'using power to suppress him', 'pretending to be pregnant', etc. .”

——"No man would marry himself! Who would marry himself? They just want to marry a wife."

Fang Xingtong glanced at ten lines, quickly read the three replies, automatically ignored the first and third replies, squinted his eyes, stared at the second suggestion, and frowned in thought.

She felt that the content of the second reply had some value.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the value is not great.

In her capacity, she couldn't "cry, make trouble and hang herself".

In addition, she had never slept with him before, so she couldn't use the two tricks of "marrying with a child" and "pretending to be pregnant".

Unless she creates an opportunity in the near future to sleep with him once and cook raw rice.

Also, "following his parents' route" would not work. The whole village died in the forest fire, and she would never be able to see his parents in her life.

As for using power to suppress him?
It doesn't seem to work either.

Before the Seventh Princess wanted to recruit him, but he declined all of them. The Seventh Princess' power can't overwhelm him. Can her Fang Xingtong be more powerful than the Seventh Princess?

Is there no other way?

Really want to create an opportunity to share the bed with him?
The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became.

……

Two days later, the third round of the "Wu Zhuang Scholar" contest officially started.

In the morning, Li Zhongwu and Yu Fengying came to Binhai Arena again by car.

There are more live audiences.

They came to the first row of the auditorium, and not long after they sat down, all the contestants arrived, and the time came to 9 am.

The four hosts came to the center of the arena again, and began to warm up the field with each other.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became lively.

The four hosts first reviewed the past two rounds of the competition, and mentioned one by one the contestants who performed well in the previous two rounds.

Every time such a player is introduced, the live broadcast camera will be aimed at the player in the first row of the auditorium.

During this process, whether it is the tens of thousands of viewers at the scene or the hundreds of millions of viewers watching the live broadcast, they are looking forward to today's competition more and more.

Finally, it came to the stage where all the contact persons of the competition went to the stage to draw number plates for the players in charge.

After the first two rounds, there are still 108 contestants who are eligible to participate in the third round.

The number of people still seems to be quite large, but in just a few days of elimination, almost half of the players were eliminated, which already shows the cruelty of this competition.

Compared with the number of beauties who came to draw number plates before the start of the previous two rounds of the competition, the 108 beauties who took the stage today seem to be much less.

Under the presidency of the four hosts with witty words, one after another the beauties stepped forward to draw.

The number plates were pulled out, clearly captured by the live broadcast, and presented on the large screens above the arena, and presented in real time to countless viewers who were watching the live broadcast.

When the number plates were drawn for the previous two competitions, the audience was almost admiring the beauties with different looks, and it was difficult to connect them with the contestants.

And what about today?

After the first two rounds of the competition, as soon as a few beauties came on stage, the audience recognized who the contestants they represented were.

This can be judged from the burst of applause from the scene from time to time.

For example, the contact person (beauty) of several seeded contestants stepped forward to reach into the box to get the number plate, when the applause from the audience and the voices calling for the name of the contestant behind her suddenly erupted.

Wave after wave of sound.

When Yu Fengying stepped forward to draw a number plate, Yu Fengying took a deep breath and felt a little nervous. She was worried that she would not be able to draw a lucky number for Li Zhongwu and pick a weaker opponent for him, and worried that the audience would be fine if she stepped forward. reaction.

That would mean that the audience still didn't remember her and Li Zhongwu.

Mainly because I didn't remember her.

but……

Just when she took a step forward and before she reached the box containing the number plate, there was a sudden loud noise from the audience.

In the louder noise than ever before, she heard someone shouting her name, and more people shouting "Li Zhongwu".
