Cultivation Department Shura Field

Chapter 496 Core Capabilities
After a day or two of recuperation in bed, Song Xingye's physical condition improved a lot. But Xu Zhe's time with her was up, and now it was Feifei's time.

It rained that day.

The misty West Lake perfectly matches the definition of romantic scenes in traditional literature. However, Xu Zhe and Tang Lingfei did not go out with umbrellas to enjoy the rain. They had more fun activities.

Xu Zhe, who had just finished taking a shower, came out of the bathroom and saw Tang Lingfei had changed into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

After today's entertainment, Tang Lingfei took a shower first, and Xu Zhe took a shower later. But what made him a little strange was that Tang Lingfei had clearly finished showering and even changed her clothes, but her hair was still wet, and there was a hair dryer next to her.

So Xu Zhe asked, "Is the hair dryer broken?"

Tang Lingfei shook her head: "I'm waiting for you to blow me."

"Why..." Before he could even ask, Xu Zhe suddenly realized the reason. "Oh, it's because Xiao Ye asked me to blow dry her hair, so you want one too?"

Tang Lingfei nodded heavily: "Of course!"

"Okay." Xu Zhe agreed with a smile.

He dried himself, picked up the hair dryer and casually blew his hair, then sat behind Tang Lingfei, gently fiddling with the girl's wet long hair with one hand while shaking and blowing it with the hair dryer.

While enjoying such service, Tang Lingfei gradually lost control of her body's center of gravity and fell backwards.

Xu Zhe said, "Hold on tight."

"It's so comfortable. I want to lean on you..."

The girl spoke with a nasal tone, which gave him the impression of a lazy kitten. So Xu Zhe felt as if he was blowing the fur of a kitten that had just taken a bath, and the cat was particularly well behaved.

But after blowing for a while, she suddenly asked a less polite question: "Have you ever blow-dried your senior sister's hair like this?"

Xu Zhe answered honestly: "No."

Tang Lingfei smiled and said, "This way I will be ahead of her..."

Xu Zhe: "I don't think there's any need to compare this kind of thing. Everyone's habits of getting along with others are different."

Tang Lingfei said, "Did she also enjoy any treatment that I didn't?"

Xu Zhe: "I can't imagine it. But I can think of some treatments that only you have enjoyed, and Xiao Ye and the senior sister have never had."

Tang Lingfei: "For example?"

Xu Zhe: "For example, let me help you with your studies."

When the girl heard the words 'tutoring', she felt a little discouraged.

She curled her lips: "I thought it was some kind of treatment, but it turns out to be just this..."

Xu Zhe scratched her waist: "Why, you don't recognize your teacher now?"

Feifei, whose waist was too sensitive, sat up straight and said quickly, "Hello, Teacher Xu!"

Xu Zhe smiled and stopped tickling her, but continued to blow her hair.

After a moment of silence, Tang Lingfei suddenly said, "Actually, it's not impossible for me, Senior Sister, and Xiao Ye to get along peacefully. But sometimes I get a little worried..."

Just sometimes? Just a little bit?

Xu Zhe's tone became much softer: "What are you worried about?"

Tang Lingfei hesitated for a moment and said, "Because they are both very smart, much smarter than me. You see, when I was a child, I still needed your tutoring, but they never needed it. So, I am worried that you might..."

Xu Zhe quickly added: "I definitely won't dislike stupid people."

"Really?" Tang Lingfei was still a little hesitant, "Do you think I can't catch up with them?"

Xu Zhe said seriously: "No, you also have some advantages that they can't catch up with." Tang Lingfei: "What advantages?"

Xu Zhe pinched those two...

Tang Lingfei: “…That’s it?”

Xu Zhe: "Don't you think this is important?"

The girl couldn't help but sigh: "Because of these two things, I sometimes felt inferior when I was in high school."

Xu Zhe: "A blessing in disguise."

After a while, Tang Lingfei began to blush.

She whispered, "Can you stop now?"

Xu Zhe: "You don't like it?"

Tang Lingfei: "No, I think...if you move around again, you have to take responsibility."

Xu Zhe said generously: "Do you think I can't afford it? What a joke!"

The rare National Day holiday is over.

When Shi Dongjie returned to the dormitory, he heard panting outside the door. This made him a little suspicious. When he opened the door, he saw a familiar figure doing something unfamiliar.

He saw Xu Zhe carrying a sandbag, standing up, squatting, standing up again, and squatting again...

Shi Dongjie couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"

Xu Zhe glanced at him but didn't say anything. He just gritted his teeth and continued to stand up and squat.

Liu Yuhang's voice came from the side: "You can't tell? Just do some weighted squats."

Shi Dongjie put his luggage in his seat, turned around and stared at Xu Zhe again, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you have to exercise suddenly?"

It was Liu Yuhang who helped answer: "Xu Zhe said he needs to exercise, especially to strengthen his core strength."

Shi Dongjie: "Core strength?"

Liu Yuhang: "It's the abdominal muscles and the surrounding muscles."

"Why do we have to practice this..." Shi Dongjie thought of something and suddenly became very excited. "Oh, I see. It's to satisfy the needs of the senior sister, right? The senior sister who can get a Lamborghini as a gift must be served well."

Liu Yuhang said, "I asked that before you came, but Mr. Xu didn't admit it. He said that he had a share in the Lamborghini purchase money, and he and Shen Lan were not in that kind of relationship."

Shi Dongjie was stunned and said, "No, even if you are trying so hard to please him, how can you not win his heart?"

Liu Yuhang spread his hands and shrugged, indicating that he had no explanation.

At this time, Xu Zhe finally put down the sandbag, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "You don't have to guess. Sister Lan and I have a good relationship. She was just joking with me that day."

Li Zhangshi, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up and sighed, "Is this just a joke?"

Although it was not very convincing, Xu Zhe could only come up with this explanation. After all, he couldn't say that Shen Lan and Song Xingye were both his girlfriends, right? That would make him even more worthy of a beating.

Moreover, since it has been decided to treat all three girls equally, the treatment of the three girls must be as balanced as possible. If Shen Lan is recognized as a girlfriend, and Song Xingye is also recognized as a girlfriend, then what about Tang Lingfei? Feifei is a new singer and cannot have any scandals at this stage. So how would she feel if she was the only one left out of the treatment of "recognized girlfriend"?
Considering this, Xu Zhe had a frank talk with the three girls. It would be best not to admit it in front of their classmates. Shen Lan, Song Xingye and Tang Lingfei also agreed.

However, while they agreed, they also put forward a condition, which was that Xu Zhe must never have any affairs with other women again.
